DF Spoilers / Re: Mistakes Harry has made that will come back
« on: October 03, 2021, 08:29:45 PM »
The Faithsabre says No! A blade which can only hurt monsters, and which Harry had had no trouble with previous, wounded him.

It burned him, he immediately snapped out of the state he was in.  Kind of a slap on the ass to bring him back.. Burned him a little, yes, but hey it could have taken his arm clean off if he were really bad in his heart. Harry felt shame and remorse every time he felt that pain, a monster wouldn't feel anything.

In Battle Ground Harry came as close as he ever will to being a monster, that’s why Sanya and Butters were there, not to kill a monster (the Titan) but to stop the birth of a worse monster (Harry).

I don't think killing Rudolph would have made Harry a monster.  Now if the attempt had been unprovoked, coldly, and more importantly for pleasure, then he would have become a monster. 
Don't get me wrong, killing Rudolph still would have been bad and when he came to himself again, something Harry would feel guilty about for the rest of his life.  But in reaction to what he saw as the murder of his friend and lover?  Not a monstrous act at all.

Nick needed Hannah Ascher for a specific job, and he needed Lasciel to take out Harry.

I think Lasciel wanted to take out Harry and Hannah with her grudge against Harry was the perfect fit..

 Talent maybe at the OP level, but they'd never make wizard, sure they got some juice from the coin, but the only real magical bad ass in the bunch was Namshiel.  Ascher could have been a wizard but she went warlock instead due to making some bad choices early on.  Thus like Molly she was on the run depending on her half turned friends, when Harry did in the Red Court, most of them died because the mortal halves of them were very old. That made her bitter, take up the coin, and Lasciel powered up her fire magic more than it was.

I think Cassius was a wizard, but a minor one. Harry is gaining in strength all the time, even if it is still there it may get shed in time. The same way Cowl was contemptuous of Harry's death curse, and Kumori told Harry he has shaken off worse.

I don't think so,  think Namshiel was the only one.  Since Cowl never killed Harry, he never actually received it, easy to laugh off a threat.  But Harry was a lot younger then, he has gained in more ways that one, including deciding on the kind of death curse he'd throw and take into consideration who is killing him.  Not unlike his mother, she didn't just throw a death curse for the sake of it, she considered who would kill her and how best to get to him... And she succeeded..  I don't think Cowl would blow off a death curse from Harry now.

  Again, is it a real curse?  We know what Malcolm told him... When he was mostly dead, he fell from the boat into Mab's waiting arms.. Yeah, he heard in his mind Cassius's death curse, but he was only mostly dead, Mab was there so even if he was all dead, he didn't die alone.  If it means that all his friends and family die first, well, if Harry is the military leader of the BAT, that stuff happens...

One more thought, was Cassius even a wizard?  I think not, so there was no juice behind his curse other than to make Harry feel bad.

  Finding out what Thomas's motivation was, doesn't necessarily follow that he will be healed.

The return of the Blackstaff could win Harry an unravelling, which could cure Thomas of his demon, something foreshadowed with Susan

That could work, but would Thomas want to come back if Justine isn't there? :(

You forget Harry has plot armour is a Starborn and appears to shrug off all forms of predestination - entropy curses, death curses, prophecy all have tried and failed. He is the ultimate champion of free will which means he is the White God’s chosen pain in the ass.

It’s telling that the Gatekeeper has trouble telling futures for Harry, the scene where he defies the White Council on Demonreach leaves the Gatekeeper confused that it’s too early in his timeline, and that he can’t win until Harry does something so incredibly stupid which is the epitome of free will in deciding to bind Demonreach.

A couple of things, being star born or not, predestined or not, what Harry's father told him still holds true.  If we die, any of us, we pass through that door alone.

Rashid had no problem seeing his future in Turn Coat, he gave him the odds of surviving against the Senior Council as low off the island, and a lot higher on the island and especially when he realized what Harry did.  I think there are rules that go along with having the eye that Rashid has.  I think it is the eye of the Three Fates, and rule number one is you cannot go around telling anyone what their future is going to be, because there are consequences for doing that, serious ones.

I think a Dragon would trigger Mab calling back not just her guard, but some of those 40,000-faerie-strong formations round about the outer gates.

And at 10's of thousands plus Mab to one, it might not be so easy, especially when the Mothers take notice.

Or a Holy Knight or two, let's not forget that Michael killed a dragon to save Charity.

Maggie and Bonnie are both still alive. Still uncertain if the curse attached itself to Harry's penis. Susan and Murphy are both dead. Luccio and Elaine still seem to be alive. Lara is an unknown quantity for now.

And there are a whole lot of other people in Harry's circle.  I have to run down the exact quote, I think it is in Dead Beat.  It is when Harry dreams or has a vision of meeting up with his Dad by a camp fire.  That's when Malcolm told him not to be overly alarmed by that curse, because everyone walks though death's door alone.

Here is the quote I was looking for from Dead Beat page 420 paper back version
Quote
"Harry." my dad said, and his voice was very gentle, "can I tell you something?"
"Sure."
He walked around the grave and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Son.  Everyone does alone.  That's what it is.  It's a door.  It's one
person wide.  When you go through it, you do it alone."  His fingers
squeezed me tight.  "But it doesn't mean you've got to be alone before you go
through the door.  And believe me, you aren't alone on the other side."

So what I think Malcolm was trying to tell Harry, as long as he has friends, he won't be alone as he walks through life.  That is true unless Harry succeeds in alienating everyone he knows.  And when he does walk through that door alone, there are a lot of loved ones waiting for him on the other side.

Harry is beholden to WINTER, not to Mab. Mother Winter mostly sits out things. She is the CEO of the corporation, the most power when she wants to flex it. But it takes away time from her golf game or knitting, so she delegates the day-to-day to her CEO, Mab. So Mab watches Harry. Molly is the up-and-comer, but not there yet. Mab delegates projects to her.  Molly can give Harry orders too.

Don't discount Mother Winter's knitting, remember " the unraveling?"  That is the kind of yarn she knits with.

  However it wasn't much of a curse.  As Malcolm pointed out to Harry in his dream," everyone dies alone."  Also both Molly and Michael are very much alive, so is Thomas last we checked.

And then Murphy comes back.

There is no happily ever after for Harry, even if he survives he is going to end up as the Merlin, becoming the authority he despises, but critical to the defence from the Outsiders until the next cycle.

There are happily ever afters, and then there are happily ever afters... I doubt that Harry will end up with Molly, Murphy, or anyone else, I don't think that will be his happy ending.  I do think if he survives, Harry will be older, a heck of a lot more powerful, much wiser, and will find happiness in his children and grand children, and of course, saving the planet.

The technical term is “the Ringo”.

Or a "Hard Day's Night.."
