Atlas Hugged posted:It might be based on something that happened, but I sure as hell don't remember it. Not only did it not happen, those hair/skin color combos don't look like any plausible threesome of WoT women. I can't think of any important blonde without lots of red mixed in except for Birgitte, who that definitely isn't. Ignominious confession: I reread the whole series like three years ago.

Rothfuss has been busy posting reviews of the Rick and Morty comic books on GoodReads. The latest review had more words devoted to how he'd be a great writer for the show/comic than on the comic he was reviewing. He also criticized Daggerspell for having flashbacks.

What would he write about in Rick & Morty? Morty lecturing Rick about how he has no idea what it's like to be poor?

But if we keep opening up portals to alternate dimensions, we'll find her, and now that I'm a rich and famous scientist, Morty, this time she'll fall in love with me.

Someone should propose a fundraiser to Rothfuss. He sets a monetary goal for donations to World Builders, and if that goal is reached, he has to get the entirety of that blog post tattooed on his rear end.

A good author could land Doors of Stone. All you have to do is make Kvothe a retroactive lying loser. Intercut vignettes about what really happened with an explanation of why. Rothfuss can't do that because Kvothe is his special flower.

I think that might be part of the problem with getting Doors of Stone done. There's no way to end this in a way that Kvothe comes out looking like a cool guy like Rothfuss wants. He's an entitled little poo poo who constantly feels victimized because he wasn't born wealthy, even though a lot of his bad luck comes from him being lovely to people. It's basically a wish-fulfillment book about a nerd getting back at some rude preps and jocks, only something may have clicked in Rothfuss' to show him that it's incredibly childish and not heroic at all to have a hero of a book bethis way.

A ghostwriter could pull it off but Rothfuss would have to sign off on it I guess.

Maybe we can help Pat out by giving him endings: Kvothe's story is true. All of it. The Chandrian marked him at thier first meeting and have groomed and guided him. He's so good at everything because he's straight demon powered. Perhaps it was a conscious deal, but he's an unreliable narrator to that fact. He's guided to hunt the Chandrian and ultimately the Amyr because they him to open up the Lackless family box. Fortunately for the world, he gets a goony obsession over Denna. She friendzones him despite being magic-powered superman/ gently caress master and he eventually swears his name to her, which we've seen. In the third book Denna rejects him in favor of being King Jackis' mistress. Kvoth uses his powers to kill the king but accidentally kills Denna in the process. Kvothe renounces his name. (gently caress it, Jackis is an Amyr and is protecting the box.) Kvothe, now Kote, can't open the box, loses his superpowers and is no longer influenced by the Chandrian. He retires to the inn to wallow in shame and regret. Bast is dispatched to protect him. The scheme in the framing story is to appeal to his pride. The goal is to convince him that Kvothe is awesome and the only person who can save the world. He does so, opens the box, finds the key and goes to seize the limitless power hidden behind the door of stone. The plot is revealed, he is depowered and the Chandrian are able to access the door. Then Auri appears wearing a spaghetti strainer for a hat and he and Auri defeat the Chandrian though the power of love and quirkiness. Fin.

Denna, being a singer, sings the tale of Kote, a worthless innkeep with delusions of granduer, to get rid of an average stalker. Her powers make this a reality. Bast, being an evil gently caress, uses the same reality warping powers to make the story of Kvothe actually true because it does so much more damage to the world as a whole thanks to the Cthaeh influence

I'll just re-post my attempt at writing an ending.SpacePig posted:The series ends with Kvothe burning basically all of his bridges and never finding the Chandrian. He spends all of his time and expends every resource he has just to find Denna, who is sad and vulnerable all the time and easy to take advantage of. He finally gets to have sex with Denna, but is so good at it that he kills her, so he vows never to have sex with anyone ever again. His friends do cool things that he isn't a part of, and Ambrose get his comeuppance in a way some might consider humorous. Everything else is a footnote, at best.

- All his friends die because of him - He doesn't really kill a king - We never find out about saving a princess from a barrow king - He becomes himself again at the very end of the book when he's forced to fight and kill Bast I almost guarantee three of these four things will happen.

"The King" is actually the name of a football-sized burrito served at a public house a few doors down from Kote's inn. If you can eat the whole thing in less than an hour, you're said to have killed the king. Suffice to say, Kote came and conquered.

"Kingkiller" is actually an altered version of "kink iller," a nickname he got because he acquired a kink that is iller than anyone else's ("iller" as in the slang term "ill," like "oh man that's so ill," as in cool). His kink is so ill that everyone wants to have sex with him, except Denna, and she dies of sadness, and Kvothe has so much kinky ill sex that he gets burned out on sex and also loses his powers and ends up a sad innkeeper who can't get off on anything anymore.

Right when Kvothe finishes telling Chronicler his story, he's going to take off his cloak to reveal that he was in fact Vince McMahon the entire time. Bast, even though he obviously knew, is in awe and can't help but whisper, "ah, son of a bitch." Chronicler looks on in confusion as Kvothe-as-McMahon jumps onto a nearby table only to come flying towards him seconds later. The Chandrian show up and turn the inn into a royal rumble. At the last moment, Denna shows up and distracts Kvothe, who gets thrown out of the inn/ring by Alaxel. Alaxel flexes, showing off the hate tree sigil on his t-shirt. ~Fin~

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:Maybe we can help Pat out by giving him endings: Kvothe doesn't have enough money to afford enough fancy clothes and art supplies at wizard college. He gets in another fight with the one teacher that is a sexist pig and scores a sick burn on him, but gets expelled from the school in the process. He does something badass and lays down a great quip, then pops a wheelie and leaves the school in his dust. He feels bittersweet about this because some of the girls at wizard college were loving him. Kvothe has sex with lots of women who compliment him on how good he is at having sex. He also learns a new anime attack from a group of noble savages who have sex with him. He is sad however because Denna still will not have sex with him. Denna is now in a hosed up abusive relationship with Ambrose for some reason, also Ambrose is now king for some reason. Kvothe definitely watches them bang at some point. Denna refuses to leave Ambrose and Kvothe carries a printer for her across the entire poorly defined fantasy realm. Kvothe plays the most beautiful song ever about his weirdo crush on Denna, and Denna finally agrees to have sex with Kvothe. But Tragedy! Ambrose kills Denna and then Kvothe kills Ambrose, and Kvothe is sad about this turn of events and can't magic properly anymore. The Chandrian just sort of wander through the background in one scene and express no interest in Kvothe.
