oh hey unrelated but did you guys do the eternal bonding ceremony or are you planning on it because it just looks so nice

I’ve considered it in the past but no. Gisele’s not married to Vicky IC, she’s married to the lads. The closest way I can approximate that is having her use Haurchefant’s title (“of the Silver Fuller” forever and ever, even when she finally earns Goddess of Magic like I’m working towards), and she wears the signet of House Fortemps with every outfit (some level 50 something dungeon green ring).

… well now the fact that I couldn’t keep a fern alive makes a lot more sense *glares at everything I read*

HAAAAAAAAA

I was gonna try to say something intelligible but that’s all that came out

i was debating even posting this because like. was this a super obvious thing already. is that the irony of Walter’s whole tarot shtick. are you meant to think, “oh he got it wrong.”

or are we meant to think of it as “disaster befalling Roland” rather than how i’m thinking “but nothing does change for him; his disasters are all similar to past disasters; he doesn’t Learn anything except softening a bit, which is presumably undone by the next cycle; death (also change), gunslinger, but not for you”

(i admittedly am very dedicated to the reading that “ka isn’t necessarily Good; All Things Serve The Beam isn’t given the proper amount of existential horror; Walter’s and especially Mordred’s (:V) desire to Destroy™ can be read a lot more sympathetically than King makes it out to be” >:|)

im not that into tarot 8( that’s Serpent’s and now Walter’s jobs

omg i have so many but a lot of them are judgmental

is your ghost bored

“please go watch this thing and intentionally make yourself angry for no good reason” why do people do this

late to the party, but it's what happens when comic writers don't read much of the source material tbh

true. it’s just frustrating when it seems clear the source material doesn’t keep track of the source material, either *snorts*

Turnabout is fair play, as they say.

is it though? is it really?

With most adult Mieville, I find there's a cognitive hump you have to struggle through. For me it's been about a third through the book before things start making sense. Un Lun Dun is not like that though.

I quite liked Un Lun Dun and found it very approachable, so I'd recommend that one. :)
