In the book it literally says that Shadow's called Shadow because as a kid he used to follow his mom around like...a shadow. It's a kiddie nickname that stuck.

DentD posted:This was from the other thread but I didn't want to discuss Gaiman over there anyway yes, I agree with that. But also I feel like Gaiman has a small preoccupation with dicks and piss. I swear I've read more passages mentioning either dicks or piss or both in his writing than anyone else's. Thanks to you, I can't stop loving noticing all the piss mentions in Fragile Things, which I started rereading earlier today. There's A Lot.

Toast Museum posted:Hearing it aloud has to make a difference. I listened to the audiobook, going in with nothing more than "there are gods in this." The narrator enunciated "Low-Key" as much as possible, but my immediate reaction was still "oh okay, it's Loki." The show clearly isn't interested in keeping viewers in the dark about anyone's identity for long, but I wonder if Shadow will figure it out sooner in the show too. The book only identifies him as Wednesday's son, we never find out his actual first name. In Monarch of the Glen he specifically says that his name is Baldr, though it might have been spelt as Balder, I don't remember.

Goddamn it's so frustrating that this episode ends exactly where the last one ends, I want poo poo to progress already! But at the same time, I really appreciated this episode. The expansion of Laura's character is SO good, I love that she's gone from Shadow's dead wife, who he loved and who is totally devoted to him in her undeath to Shadow's dead wife, who loved her more than she loved him, who is the reason he's in prison, who is just a super hosed up person. There's just a whole lot more going on and it's loving good. I'm so happy for Audrey's reappearance, she's surprisingly become one of my favorites just because she's the only regular-rear end person in the series so far. I love her. She was such a nothing in the book, it's such a surprise I give a poo poo but that's adaptations. And Ibis is just like I pictured  .

Escape Addict posted:I have to admit that I am another goon that found Lakeside to be my absolute favorite part of the book. I know that's weird, but it's true. It's hard to even explain why. I also really loved the Lakeside part of the story. I do really relate to you saying it has the same feelings as a sandboxy game/Stardew Valley (a game I really love) save. I think a part of it is...up until the Lakeside part, Shadow's only interacting with gods, in their world. Then he has to figure out how to be human, among humans. It's his coming out of prison moment. Up until he gets to Lakeside, he doesn't have to sort out his life as a free man. And then suddenly, he does. I think it's my favorite part of the book just because it really gave more character to Shadow, who really loving needed it. Also I totally dig the 'idyllic town with a dark secret' thing.
