thespaceinvader posted:Is it just me, or are those two basically the most tragic characters in the whole thing? Either or both of those powers, used judiciously and sensibly, could have basically fixed most of the worst problems in the world. Instead, they're a serial killer and a disturbed mind-rapist. Only Wildbow. Don't forget about Mannequin! A brilliant tinker on the verge of solving world hunger and other such turned into a psychotic serial killer. quote:loving inscrutable ENdbringers. I've been wondering whether they're actually naked Shard/Passengers, without the humanising influence... Didn't Tattletale say they were created? Seems like a pretty unlikely theory.

sirtommygunn posted:Where do the new Endbringers chill out between attacks anyway? I thought it was pretty cool how the original three had a kind of solid-liquid-gas theme with their hibernation cycles but it doesn't seem like there's anywhere for these new ones to hide out. My guess is the teleporting one kicks back in another dimension. No idea on the one that's only shown up offscreen.

Things can't ever go quite right for Blake, can they? These recent chapters have been excellent.

You know, the further into this story we get, the more impressed I am with Blake's ancestors(especially his grandmother) for not dying or giving into the lawyers.

Pact hadn't really been making a strong impression on me so I'd fallen a little behind in reading it. Just read the last 5 or so updates, and wow. Poor Maggie, or, I guess more accurately, not-Maggie.

I've never really gotten the impression that Rose is a backstabber, just that she's not on the same page as Blake. Maybe I'm just gullible, but I really do feel like Rose tried her best with Blake and that she really did forget about him thanks to the abstract demon.

How was Blake doing magic if he's really an Other? Was it brought up with Rose at some point and I just forgot?

Smiling Knight posted:I hope Jeremy makes it out in one piece. I find him very sympathetic. One of the things I'm really enjoying in this story thus far is that I've found most of the remaining characters sympathetic in one way or another.

Courtesy of the Space Opera thread:PupsOfWar posted:speaking of Path of the Fury/In Fury Born, I came across a web-original story the other day that is more or less a better version of the same narrative. On the Spacebattles.com forums, of all godforsaken places. I'm about a dozen chapters in and it's fairly good thus far.

The Shortest Path posted:The Gods are Bastards is really, really good so far, I'm mostly done with the first book. Tellwyrn had me at "catapult". I've been meaning to recommend this for a while but never actually had the energy to write a post on why, so I'm glad other people are reading it anyway

Dire Lemming posted:I just got up to this and it was pretty disappointing. It's almost always a let down when an author can't just let magic be magical. I don't think you should go into the hows and whys of magic unless your answer to those questions is amazing and TGAB's weren't. It's come up twice in a biggish way so far, the second one was way more annoying to me but that might be because I was caught up with the story instead of binging it

I tried to read Mother of Learning a few years back, but I just couldn't get into it. I'm not sure why.
