DF Spoilers / Beowulf-Venatores
« on: August 06, 2021, 07:57:21 AM »
So I'm doing Beowulf in my Uni course at the moment, more about the historicity of the legend then the legend itself, but an interesting point is that it was probably an oral tradition before it was written down round 1000 AD, but it was only rediscovered from one manuscript in late 1500s early 1600s.

Given what we know of the Archive and Venatores, maybe in Dresdenverse they were trying to destroy the myth.

uuuh yeah They're in Battle Ground as well. They cold calculate that taking out Harry would reduce Vadderungs survival by 25% which is unacceptable. They're also in a WOJ, Vadderung sends them out to take care of problems Thor and Loki create.

Hmm I kinda think Battle Grounds ws the last sentence of the WOJ

"Of course, sometimes everyone’s knowledge and forethought cancels each other’s actions out, and then it’s time to get all Monday Night Nitro. No one in the Dresden Files universe is really sure how that would shake out. But everyone on that level knows that they might be about to find out"

Until I have definitive proof otherwise or until it becomes more relevant.

I think Cold Days and Skin Game is more an example of his planning things out. A few key conversations with Harry that manipulate events into saving the day.

Him showing up as Kringle and the Wild Hunt to help Harry lead it.

or Kringle recommending Goodman Grey, warning Harry about Anduriels limits.

Battle Ground was the Battle Royal.

We are pretty much told she was RAISED Catholic, not much sign of any faith afterwards that I can recall.  No signs of being observant.


Actually there are several. She clarifies that the reason she doesn't become a Knight of the Cross isn't because she doesn't believe.

She outright prays to St Jude in the short story Aftermath.

And she turns down a Valkyrie's offer of a threesome in Peace Talks when she states she's Catholic.

All of which suggests Vadderung would have to negotiate with Uriel or someone from the Catholic side of things.

I'd enjoy Hendricks and Murphy buddy cop as well.

I'd be disappointed if she never appears again in Dresden Files.

I do think her becoming Einherjaar was the natural development of her character. She is a firm Catholic, Uriel and Vadderung are friends, but I also feel like its a missed opportunity for one of Uriels crucial conversations that are good for the soul, for her and her Dad not to see each other again after her death.

In many ways they would be in the same circumstances died but not quite moving on to what's next while performing a duty.

Seems to fit to me.

I think Henry Cavill would make a good Michael Carpenter.

hmph you and everyone else who thinks he makes a good casting choice for Superman.

There is a relevant WOJ on it.

Quote
"Muskogee: Do einherjar have to make a choice to be recruited?

Jim: No not really. They can get roped into it. I mean if they've already got a claim somewhere else that's different. In which case Odin has to make a deal of some kind, it's like "I know you had plans for this guy and all Anubis but I really need him for the rest of the mortals" and that's the kind of thing that can happen. Very confused people occasionally wake up in Valhalla."

Do you think Murphy met her Dad in the Between before signing up with Vadderung?

Seems like the place to make that "choice"

Very vivid details.

One thing to consider is that Harry was walking around in his soul during Ghost Story, I forget what it was but there was one thing signature to his usual outfit that didn't appear with him in the afterlife.

I think it was his mums gem inside the star symbol of magic?

But everything else was with him suggesting they're crucial to at least how he see's himself.

As for the others the most detailed Soul Gazes were:
Molly and the Cathedral Panels I like this artists rendition: https://www.deviantart.com/guad/art/Dresden-Files-Molly-s-Choices-115420007

Marcone the Tigers soul who views killing like a signature.

Thomas and his demon.

Then Michael, Ebenezar and Morgan which are mentioned in passing.

Susan fainted as well but also fell in love with him.

As for Third Sight. There's the Three Eye Junkie and The FBI Werewolf.

DF Spoilers / Harry's Soul
« on: July 12, 2021, 01:11:18 PM »
So what do you think Harry's soul looks like in a Soul Gaze or with the Sight/Third Eye?

Honestly despite Jim's assertions to the contrary I picture him as he is on the covers Hat and everything, surrounded by a swirling storm of some sort.

DF Spoilers / Mouse conversations with animals
« on: July 02, 2021, 11:18:33 AM »
What conversations does Mouse have with other animals?

Do you think Mouse would have a conversation with a pig before eating it?
We know he likes bacon.

Does Mouse verbally acknowledge Mister's supremacy?

Did Mouse talk/taunt the Ick monster in Changes?

Anduriel was the previous Uriel it's all in the name which we know is Important because uriel freaked when called Uri by Harry. Lash also mentions Harry Naming thing.


Anduriel means literally Anti-Uriel

DF Spoilers / Uriels previous wars?
« on: June 03, 2021, 02:42:28 PM »
So in Skin Game Uriel says he's been fighting wars since before the Earth was a gascious substance... makes you wonder what wars he was fighting.

Outsiders and Cthuhlu are the obvious choices... I kinda want him to have fought extraterrestrials as well.

Primordial gods would make sense as well.

I would imagine that would have vastly different outcomes. Can you kill with love?

Assuming Ammorrachius/Excalibur the Sword of Love and Michael Carpenters entire philosophy... yeah.

Plus Harry did kill Susan for the love of his daughter, and wiped out the Red Court.

hole lee... Yes. I like this. To quote a not so popular moment...
(click to show/hide)
though, I suspect Dresden will accomplish this.

There's also Mab's speech in Changes

"So many terrible things are done for love" Mab's voice said "For love will men mutilate themselves and murder rivals. For love will even a peaceful man go to war. For love man will destroy himself and that right willingly."

Does Odin have enough hate to use the Eye?

I suspect you can also use love.

Assuming you have the same view Mab has of the whole love/hate being the same force in opposite directions thing.
