welp as much as I'd like to give my teachers the excuse that I stayed up all night discussing class material with people, I probably shouldn't do that
Like this isn’t an exaggeration, I turn on random episodes every night before bed for background noise like I’m doing rn. Then do full rewatches of ATLA and TLOK all the time
so I need to head to bed, good night, nice talk 
You've atla as class material?
yeah
Night maka 
Atla has been my favourite show ever since i watched it like 22 years ago - and itll probably stay like that forever
Its just so good
12
Not 22 lol
ATLA and OP are definitely the two stories closest to my heart
It’s hard to choose between them
In terms of stories in general it gets close because of the stormlight archive
Of course
adoodwithgoodtakes i say
Lol
Yo is green bone saga set in a mediaeval-type world or more modern?
I googled at the surface level but it isn't clear and i don't wanna dive deeper cz spoilers
It’s like 20th century Asian gang themed but more fantastical
So like guns and canons and stuff?
Hmm i see
And prince of nothing?
Those are the only 2 on the list i haven't read/don't have a decent idea about lol
Oh
It’s very diverse
Damn this house of dragons episode
I will pick one at random ig then
I would have taken a more medieval setting if i knew
Ahh okay
It's also more recent so heck why not
HotD 5 || GoT and weddings are a match made in heaven ||
Hotd 5 ||im gonna miss these actors ||
HotD || i like the new allicent, the new Rhaenyra I will see ||
HotD || Milly alcock nailed Rhaenyra tho ||
Hotd 6 preview ||holy fuck let viserys die ||
HotD 6 / GoT S1 || i am guessing they are gonna do it in ep7 to add an Easter egg or something since Robert Baratheon died in e7 in GoT ||
HotD || they would have killed him by now if they didn't want to do that
||
HotD 6 preview || also did they imply in the preview all 3 of Rhaenyra's kids were bastards? ||
HotD 6 preview || or was it 2 ? ||
Thought you would have WoT at top alongside those too 
LOTR and WOT are up there too
Wheel of snooze
Heard show is wack
Well the first few books are just decent anyway. It picks up later
Read the books 
@sage remnant if you want smut just Sarah j maas
Tho i have heard some serious crap about her
I still need to rewatch lotr 2/3 before watching the new series, been too long and have only rewatched 1 recently
Isn't the thorns series by Sarah J mass?
Yeah
Goro asked for smut?
A court of thorns and roses || i have heard that she does some rape justification and shit in her books in this series so i never tried them myself so if you ever try be careful lol ||
Apparently the show made the 1 character I cared about better, so seems like a worthy trade off

Which character
Mat ig
Was his name Lan idr
??????
Yeah i was gonna try cz why not lol but decided not to
Yeah Lan
The Asian looking guy?
There's a new edition of this with silver title and I so much want it dude
It is gonna take months to reach here

WoT show and books ||they’re different but I wouldn’t say the show made him better. Hmmm maybe actually. Because in book 1 Lan is very quiet and stoic whereas he talks more in the show ||
This is not the books of Babel i was talking about lol
Ik
Ahh ok then
Just saw this on twitter again so was making a comment
WoT show and book 1 || lan hardly has any character in book 1 lol ||
Ye
WoT book 1 || book 1 is a real slog tho ||
If wot wasnt so long id definitely read it
WoT book 1 || it was hard to get through till like caemlyn or later ||
I burnt out at book 5.5
As in like 5 and a half books
I will get back eventually
Aka when will you be reading Poppy War 
WoT || rand, mat, everyone else ||
WoT || after this long those two are the ones i remember most clearly so they are definitely the best
||
Lol
WoT ||Mat, Rand, Moiraine, Perrin, andddddd uh god there’s so many. Maybe Nynaeve ||
But if i had to pick 5 i would say
|| Rand, Mat, Morraine, Thom, Perrin ||
Had sent it here
WoT ||giant dude pretty much better than the whole main cast btw ||
Coz the main cast is so good
True
Also read the books Adam 
Wait wtf i amend || Rand, Mat, Morraine, Thom, loial ||
WoT ||rand, mat, and lan the only main cast that are average or above ||
How many wot books are there
14
- a prequel
Yeah it's p long
I wonder when I will get on such reading streak again.
WoT ||sorta funny how lan is my favorite and Nynaeve easily the worst…and apparently the books make her even worse than the material the show has currently adapted
||
Me too goro, me too
I read Stormlight and WoT back to back
I almost did that but book 1 of wot was way too dank
Oh to go back the time where i read the whole of cosmere in a monthv

WoT ||yeah Nynaeve takes some getting used to ||
Had caught up to Stormlight. Then found out Sanderson was heavily inspired by WoT, then read WoT

Oh wait cosmere reminds
But yeah if I ever read another book
It sure isn’t gonna be wheel of time first, it’d be Dune
Mistborn era 2 book 4 should be coming out in a couple of months

Understandable
Good
Can't wait already

Next part of Dune already in filming or smth 
I think the last book I read was lord of the flies like 3 years ago
I gave up on mistborn book 2 cause i couldnt find a good pdf version
If it helps they aren't as big a commitment
Even tho I hear a lot of @mixed things
Shorter books
Library genesis should havee them adoood
Hmm
https://fxtwitter.com/kuangrf/status/1571348367367671808?t=LcQYx9mjup0i-n_eaSakyQ&s=19
On another note, I am so excited for this
the whiteboard notes makes it interesting cuz that's more science and math than I find in scifi books but for fantasy 
Ping me if you can't find a copy i will find one and dm ypu
I read book 1 like 2 years ago, so ill probably need to read it again
Rearranged and cleaned the shelves. Man its tiring
really makes you think

alright time to watch HotD
Cobra Kai s5 end ||I like how the roster of middle age angry men keeps rising
wonder who's next, becuase at this point this is getting international and with a new canon||
HotD ep5 ||is laenor gay? NVM it was just confirmed lol||
HotD ep5 ||yo ser criston's actor is amazing on the boat||
HotD ep5 ||damn what an episode||
WoT ||Nynaeve is based bruh ||
Yes
did you expect anything else
Thought you were an advocate for subjectivity
r&m s06e03 || 
























































||
|| i fucking loved that bro||
|| this is r&m back in its element ||
||this got me good too, havent laughed out loud in a long time, esp watching r&m ||
|| honestly, perfect ep||
|| smart ep, great jokes, consistent throughout, nice call backs and tie ins with previous stuff. even the meta-ness of it is fucking great, never over baring at any moment ||
|| god im so happy ||
Seems like he draws a line at your takes 
Its just idiocy
get a room you two
True
Bcs s2 ep 2 || my new favourite description of jimmy is now as mike put it “morally flexible” ||

Bcs s2 ep 2 || A chimp with a machine gun ||

The start of the reprinting craze
Krypto the dog is an actual character huh
I thought it was made up for that early 2000s cartoon
He didnt die of course
Debuted in like 1955
Oh yeah @modern lichen, what do you think of Raj Kapoor's Mera Naam Joker?
Had rewatched it some weeks ago after watching quite a bunch of Raj Kapoor's films and it changed how I viewed that movie so interested on your thoughts on it
Ah.
I had first watched it when some TV channel was showing movies late Rishi Kapoor was on. I found it just decent then. Watched some of Raj Kapoor's stuff after that and watched it again some weeks ago and the way I enjoyed the movie was drastically different. Was really the culmination of his film career 
Yeah but that's still a depressing title for a golden age comic yk? "We euthanize a dog" lol
Silver Age, but yeah lol
I just go based on the look of the comics forgive me
Basically it goes like this
1938-1956 = Golden Age
1956-1970 = Silver Age
1970-1985 = Bronze Age
1985-Now = Modern Age
Damn i watched half a season of bcs in one night
People complain it is slow
i dont really find it that slow
Especially since bcs || it focuses on both mike and saul ||
Yea I don't either
Bcs s2 ep 5 || hoping we get more Howard later, so far he’s just played a background role but i really think he could have more to show depending on how the show continues ||
@crimson lance they selling tickets for the master gardener here
Breaking bad s1 ep 3 ||ONTO EPISODE 4 ||
It's time 

nice
Gotta say, Rear Window truly is the best Hitchcock film
Watched that on a plane with crying babies and even the crying babies didn't distract me
Hard agree
fuck new yorkers
i wont be able to see it lol
y
is this an early showing or is schrader just not getting any theaters
Early
man i really hope it comes to my local AMC, i need to see some beautiful ass Schrader movies in theaters
mine does ghibli movies
Nice
nice
I never really thought that the fantastic 4 were that strong
You got stretchy dude but like not as strong as plastic man
Invisible /force fields which probably is the coolest one imo
A rock golem
And a dude on fire
I won't take any fantastic four slander, mutant boy
It's time for your spanking
It's clobberin time
And such
Watching new atlanta episodes
Isnt The Thing on par with The Hulk when it comes to strength?
Depends on the hulk version ig?
Any worldbreaker thing runs out there? I'm actually genuinely interested
Fantastic 4 is the best marvel team 
xmen>>>
wait s4 airing?
Yoooo
maybe early hulk
early as in when he use to hulk out because of a full moon or whatever his gimmick was when no one cared about him
When he got angery lol
that's normal hulk, he has a phase when it's because of the moon lol
lol
lmao
Currently watching The Bear
Rewatching The Women King in theaters… I’m obsessed with this movie 💯
did u watch cyberpunk edgerunners yet?
would it be other series if its based off a western game? 
I saw people earlier talking about in os so yeah
japanese studio so probably os
ah ok, I don't have netflix so idk much about that series
I’m finishing it soon
Really wanted to start the bear though
You should it's very good
I’m watching it right now
BCS s2 ep6 ||Seeing Hector able to talk is really weird lol. I like the bell better
||
Is Arcane good?
Aight thank u
Nah they got nothing right league is a toxic environment and that wasnt shown in the show
0/10 - from a league player with 11 years of experience
I mean... the show has a toxic enviornment 
Plus they literally ruined a good 5 months of the meta cause they hyper buffed all the champs in the show
skill issue
vouch
Based wire and bear enjoyer

this shit got me
it looked so real 
I always read the descriptions of videos like that
i need to rewatch the last ep bc i still didn't fully wrap my mind around it
bruh theres even new scenes in it
they always say their concept or some shit
They combined the D23 teaser with other stuff lmao
New Rockstar has a breakdown if you don't have patience and want yo know what's in that teaser btw
I was watching a clip of X-Men: First Class and the funniest comment was "the force is strong with Magneto"
It made me chuckle

...oh god.
@sage remnant you finally got me
Greenbone book 1 ch 9 || looking good so far. Not used to modernish settings so can't visualise the world all that well yet, but I really like most of the characters so far. Only Anden seems a bit too whiny lol. But yeah, the cast is great. Really like the portrayal of Lan's struggles as pillar conflicted between his old advisor, his younger brother and the old-man-stuck-in-the-past grandda. Has to be the highlight of the book so far.
The magic system is decent, tho it doesn't seem all that unique so far. Will probably find out better as the book goes on ||
@rich meadow
Greenbone book 1 ch 9 || one thing i will say is the setting seems a bit confusing at times cz like the fighting and the politicking seems what i would expect more in a medieval setting even though the world is modern, so like i expected things like guns and technology to play a much bigger role than it seems to have. ||
Greenbone book 1 || so far the only time i "notice" the modernish setting is when they explicitly mention cars and taxis and flights and stuff, so like idk, i feel the world could have been used in a better way than it is being rn ||

And poppy war
I figure if i can't stick to 1 series i can alternate between 2 different ones 😂
Have you read it?
You might want to try this tho sm day
Nah I have read this by her tho
This is like Hajime no Ippo set in Star Wars
Lmao
So like a galactic fighting tournament basically?
Wait zeroboxer so like galactic boxing?
Sounds fun lmao
Ye
Poppy war || bruh ||
Poppy war ch 2ish || If you hit a child, make sure you kill it ||
Poppy war || wtf man that's dark shit ||
Poppy wars || it's like the whole world is the lawless/underworld area of a typical fantasy ||
@sage remnant
Cool
Poppy War || did you think I wasn't serious when I made that Naruto comparison for the tone lol||
|| It works so good to create one of the most powerful story of all time, but its painful to reach there. It doesn't hold itself back to show the darkest parts of war. Most of it is based on real Chinese History ||
||Well more like taken inspiration from real Chinese history than retelling thr exact same thing ||
@sage remnant poppy war ch 3 || sooooo Venka's trained for 12 years in the gentle fist style huh
||
Also tell me if you find the pings annoying

Poppy war || Hope the tone isn't too dark for you already (?) ||
Poppy War || cuz it gets even darker later||
Rick and Morty S3 EP3 ||Beth(s)...||
Poppy war || bruh Sunzi and the principles of war? Seriously?
||
Yeah lol
Rick and Morty S3 EP3 ||WOOOHOOO new Jerry and Beth relationship lore drop||
I'd be awesome if there was many more rick and Morty eps
It's nowhere near enough episodes to get enough of it
Poppy war || Success required sacrifice. Sacrifice meant pain. Pain meant success. ||
Poppy war || bruh, the goosebumps this keeps giving me ||
Poppy war || this shit is insane ||
Now you are making me want to reread it
Superman Annual #1
peanuts 3/14/72
Poppy wars part 1 || bruh wtf they took magic mushrooms and made them literally magic mushrooms
||
And yes I already reached the end of part 1 of book 1
So like half the book

Bcs s2 ep 7 || ahh, so jimmy probably got so good at conning because he grew up watching his dad get conned by a lot of people
||
Bcs s2 ep 7 || YOOOO THE COLORED SUITS ||
Bcs s2 ep 7 || he’s trying yo get fired
||
So I guess I should take it as you really enjoying it?

Whole trilogy 
Would be by morning but i need to wake up for work

No this book dude
Don't have that kinda spare time sadly
Ah. 
Don't usually get more than an hour or so to read at a stretch unless i sacrifice sleep

Glad that you are liking it
Also so this ended up taking priority between this and Jade city huh 
He'll shatter your world. Sonic Prime is coming to Netflix Winter 2022!
Yeah even before starting jade city i had doubts cz I prefer more medieval-ish settings but like gave it a try anyways
Poppy's setting is a lot more to my tastes even tho it's like dark ultra pro max plus

Tho tbh

I don't find it that much darker than other assassin settings
Thoughts on the magic system?
Poppy war || like I said, magic mushrooms, literally
||
Yeah. Like I had noticed and even the author herself said || Its stories of a bunch of Sasukes || Poppy War

|| As in the focus on the victims than treating war as a spectacle of heroes saving thr day || Poppy War
Bcs s2 ep 9 || kim spittin facts to chuck. She’s a keeper. Even though chuck assumed correctly, he is still guilty for screwing over jimmy when jimmy was actually trying to change. Its also hilariously hypocritical that he commented “i cant believe my own brother stabbed me in the back” when he’s been secretly working against jimmy to not allow him to work at HHM because of his own pride ||
Poppy war || but yeah it seems good so far for a soft magic system ( I think it's gonna get a lot more systemic but seems soft so far ). I like the mysterious and mythical vibes it gives, is a fresh change from reading so much systemic magic over the last couple of years ||
It's heavily based on irl religion and practices
Poppy war || Interesting concept about sort of channeling with gods for power, I wonder if the gods are gonna end up having personalities and shit to make it more like Naruto's, but i hope not ||
Poppy war || one thing i really like is how it is still actually kind of ambiguous whether this whole astral realm equivalent actually exists or is just something being cooked up by the shrooms and the mind. Like i think towards the end it kinda became clear that it's real, but I genuinely felt it might end up being something like the psychedelics used under the right mental frame actually helped unlocked the body's untapped potential, like a certain green fighter's powerups if you know what I mean ||
If I have to use your and Usogui gang's words Aka,
You ain't seen anything yet 
Poppy war || i like how ki isn't shown to be some over complicated messed up shit but literally just energy. It's so simple it might not even be considered magic and just literally application of vector physics to martial arts ||

Don't want to end up snoring on an annual meeting

Nah i actually don't really have to do much but it's mics and videos on

Ah
I am probably going to read poppy war except for the 10% that is relevant to my team

You just finished the first half, right?
That's the problem with annual meetings, there's so many people barely a fraction of it is relevant to you
Yeah
Ah
Poppy war part 1 || where rin basically just understood what the realm of gods is ||
Ah
Poppy war part 1 || like the first time she goes there after meditating for some 15 days or something after taking magic shroom juice ||
Bcs s2 ep 9 || pina colada
||
Poppy war part 1 || i can't wait to get to the point where Jiang finally learns she's only doing this for power, man's gonna be so disappointed
||

Poppy war part 1 || If I had to bet i would say it's gonna end up with cliche of the kid overextending and setting a up a disaster and the master dying to prevent it so the kid finally learns the lesson ||
Poppy war part 1 || i am actually surprised nobody major has really died as such yet given the general environment lol ||
🤐
Poppy war part 1 || nobody has yet right?
||
Poppy war part 1 || even I can't have speedread enough to miss a major character dying
||
Nah you are good.
Just remember that I wasn't exaggerating when I recced you this and described about its tone and you are good
Poppy war || yeah ik. I get really strong death vibes from kitay idk why
||
Poppy war || like if I was writing a book with this harsh a world, Kitay would definitely be a goner for character growth or whatever ||
Poppy war || kitay and Jiang both at some point or the other lol ||
Bcs s2 ep 9 question || is Kim jimmy’s ex wife? Cause I remember him saying “when my ex wife was my wife” or something and it seems they have history together. I’m just unsure of their past relationship ||
Poppy War || they are still at school, unless I am remembering wrong(?) ||
Yeah they are
Poppy war || only a guy named Han left because of a border conflict with his dad or something getting expelled from the uni in the process ||
Yeah I am gonna wait for you to finish reading and read all the stuff you ping me with at once in thr end.
Poppy war || ryohai just became emperor of the Megu-whatever Kingdom that's the aggressor, if you're looking for an exact point in the story ||
Fair fair
Good night Aka
Gnight
Nice
Mistborn: THoA/Mistborn Book 3 Prologue ||Hemalurgy???||

Mistborn Book 3 ||Why is Marsh bad now nooooooooo, what did Vin free, why is Elend so badass now? LOL||
So just starting book 3?
Thought you were much into it already given how you said earlier lol
Yeah, I think that was just the first few chapters
I'm like 40 pages in I think
Excited
Nice. Enjoy
He'll shatter your world. Sonic Prime is coming to Netflix Winter 2022!
This actually looks halfway decent
its great, but I have to complain
its too good for me to just watch an episode a day

but i am gonna watch it anyways..
watch 2 a day 
tyty
the good place || those cliffhangers are killing me, like every episode ends with something thats just gonna make you want to start the next episode. First the weird shenanigans that appeared after Eleanor's first day, the note that was slipped through Eleanor's door, then Jianyu revealing that he doesnt belong in the good place either and now the slowly enlarging hole in the restaurant ||
its basically impossible for me to not wanna watch the next episode

great show though, really enjoying it so far
The good place || Jason ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ||
The good place || my fav character is definitely Michael right now lol, but they are all pretty interesting in their own regards||
Good luck with the season finale 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️
Holy based

Feel like a lot are missing
the good place || my favorite part of the show is when they randomly tell us about all the famous figures being in the bad place, always makes me laugh out loud||
I may watch an episode or two later, i will post an update here when I finish this season tho
Michael Schur got given the chance to do a whole season, meaning he could plan it out fully without needing to ask the network
Sad not many get to have that possibility
Usually they are just given the pilot
gotcha gotcha
Ping me too with your season finale thoughts
He will hate me
alright
the good place || i mean at this point i expect every episode to have a crazy cliffhanger like all the ones i mentioned, so I am fully prepared for whatever the season finale's cliffhanger will be||
maybe i am prepared
idk
I mean the guy puts out bangers in terms of shows so it makes sense
He is such a great writer
a lot of the shows I've liked in recent years he's been involved in one way or another
its fucking crazy
Every Michael Schur show is so good
Was he involved in Black Mirror too or is google messing with me?
Yea he was
Ping me as well when you finish the season
1 ep
Oh. Which one?
Black mirror ||It was the one where people's actions were tracked by an app and got given points ||
it's like S3
Ah
Black mirror S3E1 spoilers
Bcs s2 ending || fuckkkk man, jimmy admitted to the felony just to make chuck feel better and chuck was recording that shit, ||
|| 😔 || bcs s2 ending
Bcs s2 ending || though, and I may be wrong since I’m not well versed in law unlike chuck, but as far as I know recording someone without consent is illegal and this cannot be used as evidence, though I know there are exceptions to this rule, I just don’t remember what they were exactly. I know police can listen in on tapped phones for example but they can’t record or use it as evidence unless it pertains to what they got the tapping warrant for iirc ||
Bcs s2 ending ||yea you are on the mar~~(c)~~k about the tape||

did you watch years and years @spice folio
the British movie with Emma Thompson?
I haven’t no
it’s on my watchlist
It's a miniseries
l’ll put it on my letterbox as well so I don’t forget
I’ll watch the first episode this weekend then
gonna post somethin
what u posting?
an image
where is it
lol
nobody in the entire universe could predict your personality based off this list
very diverse
Saul lol
I'm a simple man I see owl house characters and I approve
This is just a bunch of characters I love mixed with characters I don't know
I think that's a good sign
I'm a very diverse person 
Well, the thing about foresight is that it can never show you things of any significant consequence

It’s been really really good
30 minute episodes, each one is filled with stuff
But it doesn’t feel overbearing to watch like an hour episode can feel at time

AtLA S1 episode 17 ||NOT THE WAR BALLOON
||
wait what
it's really good
Just watched incantation on netflix, a taiwanese horror film. I recommend it, especially if you have some background in eastern spirituality
I haven't felt that good about a horror film in a while
finally continued reading silver age marvel
and uh
Avengers 1960~ #34
there is one specific voice I have in mind for this
and it is particularly whiny
lol I bet it's even worse
but anyway yeah I just thought that narrator panel just... reads weird.
He's the narrator on a children's cartoon
"see this man? He is a bad man! Where is the bad man going?"
"click on where the bad man is going!"
finished with book 1
@modern lichen || https://twitter.com/ByClaytonDavis/status/1572344141669101570?t=8meLFe4ucfYqhu0HFcSAtw&s=19 || RRR
#RRR will be submitted for the #Oscars in best picture, director, lead actor (for both N.T. Rama Rao Jr and Ram Charan), original song (“Naatu Naatu”), and other eligible categories.
Can it get any noms now that India chose "Last Film Show?"
https://t.co/IDnHvsk2E3 via @Variety

Should get supporting actor and some other categories too
Oh wait both men are the lead huh
Nevermind it's getting nominated for absolutely everything
Last i heard it didnt get nominated for anything at oscars
It didn't get sent by India and this submissions are from US distributor of the film
Or smth like that
Ohh got it
@sage remnant just read a few more chapters
Poppy war ch 12 || what the fuck dude, we went from academy to block ops in a flash
Like holy fkn shit talk about drastic and fast
||
Poppy war ch 12 || also the empress is the enemy what the actual fuck ?!?!?!? ||
Poppy war ch 12 || I wonder what happened to Jiang, doesn't seem like he died. And shit man the battle was so terrifying. Short, brutal, insane. That was crazy ||
Poppy war ch 12 || Also finally more one altan, this gonna be good
||
Poppy war || we went from a playground for snobs to the freaks' theatre in the space of 3 chapters
||

I watched RRR the other day
probably my favorite of those epic action tollywood films
was really fun
Did you read more after that 

No, not even one page
Ah

||I finished it a couple of hours ago ||
Yeah the meeting was boring

Even got caught reading 😂
LMAO
Yeah so like 4h
10-30ish to 3
Oh
I wouldn't recommend you stuff if it wasn't good

And I had put proper warnings too 
Like
The story went from one of those kid cars in the mall straight to F1
Straight up rocket launch acceleration
|| The first half isn't an accurate presentation of the tone of the series. Like the first half feels like YA lol || poppy war
Boy have you got that right
Poppy war || it was like two different books
||
Poppy war || we went from one of those typical underprivileged prodigy student at school settings straight to an absolute hellhole ||
Poppy war || the world was setupped the same. Just the things she chose to focus on at the start were breezy stuff ||
Poppy war || I was expecting a lot of slow burn Robin Hobb type stuff after the first half where it's like watching a train wreck at an excruciatingly slow pace after part 1 ||
Poppy war || especially given how much you Stan farseer ||
I never compared those series tho 
Poppy war || the rapid pace was delightfully unexpected||
Yeah ik i probably just did it sub consciously
Lol. Understandable
Farseer/Poppy War|| Robin Hobb's stuff slowly pierces the heart with a thin blade. This just attacks you at each portion of the body ||

Idk which series I would compare the structure of this book 
Poppy war || i say that but a lot of the plot elements were pretty predictable for me. Like Jiang being the gatekeeper, or Altan's drug addiction ( tho obvious not the extent of his horrific backstory ), the Woman being the Speer Queen and stuff ||
Poppy war || i like where it all went, and the ending gave me such goosebumps||
Ah. Wasn't that much for me. 
Nice
All's good if it was a read worth it for you.
Which seems like it truly was
Farseer/Poppy war || Hobb's work is a slow acting, painful venom that eventually kills after a looong time. Kuang just picks up a longsword and starts chopping off limbs ||
Yeah that's a much better comparison 
The pace was refreshing
No reading through pages and pages of exposition and dilemmas and stuff
It was fast, it was brutal and it was thrilling
It felt like reading something like Lee Child or Vince Flynn but in a fantasy world
Action wise
Ah Jack Reacher
Definitely thought it could have used a little bit more exposition towards the last one third of the book
But i would still take it how it is over too much
Which part 
Also Dragon Republic next or continuing Jade City?
Poppy war || the from where they were captured by Shiro to the point where she made a deal with the Phoenix ||
Ah
Probably jade city
Should not pick up dragon republic before the weekend
Getting caught reading once at work is laughed off, twice is a warning


Then I guess my reread of Dragon Republic and your first read would be around same time
I am rereading the books as I buy them
Would be delivered till day after I guess
Will probably blitz both the books over the weekend
Borrowing Usogui gang's words tho, you ain't seen anything yet 
I am inclined to believe that after poppy war || part 1 to 2 transition ||

What
One book in a day...
It took me under 7 hours to finish poppy war
Unless I am remembering wrong
I was judging based on poppy war length
Not Farseer book 1 and 3 difference in length tho. 
Don't tell this is like that tad Williams series
Memory sorrow thorn
The third book is longer than the first two put together lol
It's literally a 5 book series except he published the last three books as a single one

Length wise at least

Apparently just 10% longer than Poppy War
Surprising cuz I found it longer than that while reading it
Then it's no issue
It's strange i actually don't remember the difference between those two
The whole trilogy is just one big chunk for me
Probably cz i read them in one continuous stretch like i did with Stormlight
Remembering the length is easier if you read the physical copy.
And I had to reborrow that book only due to not being able to finish in time
Oh i read them physical
where did you watch it? I’ve been looking for it online for like 2 months and I can’t find it
But don't own them so don't see them frequently lol
Isn't it on Netflix?
Like the third book is more than double of it only while looking at it 
If not you can probably get it on fmovies or flixtor or something if you're okay with pirating
Oh dang
Man
Makes sense
I wish I had the space for all the books i wanna buy

I collection i have doesn't have a lot of fantasy cz most of it is inherited from different people and i don't have the heart to sell them off

Watching Daredevil ep1
Enjoy
Good stuff so far
Man those spines look damn fine
ohh thanks thanks
Farseer's
Yeah I’m fine with that
The Netflix one right?
Yeah
it’s almost always the way I watch movies lol
Marvel's Daredevil
Really like the parchmenty vibe
This one?
Farseer's cover is probably one of my high favorites. They look idk majestic
Idk there's no MCU daredevil series yet right?
No
Cz the Netflix one is just epic
Marvel's Daredevil (2015, TV) || https://trakt.tv/shows/marvel-s-daredevil ||
This one
Yea is the right one
Speaking of that tho, I hate this cover with all my soul. Farseer book 1
If I had seen this cover first in the library, I would have never picked this up
Don't remind me this exists

Special Buc appearance


That's a nice LoTR cover
I am stuck with the ugly red one

See ya
The most boring LoTR cover they ever made
Marvel's Daredevil / Avengers 1 ||so is the daredevil series like supposed to be after the attack on New York? I'm not getting a lot of info otherwise over "half of new york destroyed" besides that but the TV series isn't supposed to be set in the MCU||

yes
Gotcha
So it's like a detached story that doesn't have any further continuity in-universe that effects future projects
affects* ☝️ 🤓
Spider-Man No Way Home ||I recall Matt Murdoc showing up in Spidey's and May's apartment||
This
Spiderman nwh || MCU took daredevil back from Netflix but retained some of the cast from the series and rebooted the franchise. So technically the Charlie Cox in nwh is a totally different daredevil ||
Hm
I remember playing this marvel hero mmo and having a customized daredevil character as my main because I liked daredevil so much as a kid, despite knowing almost nothing about his story
Simpler times
boy, andor started off strong
finished the first ep of Marvel's Daredevil
Idk if anyone cares but "20th Century Men" started publishing, first 2 issues are out
Andor ep 2 || why is Timm like this?? So fucking annoying 🙄 ||
I keep thinking of 20CB 
lol I thought so too and was confused why it was on getcomics

Schoolteacher Bertram Cates is arrested for teaching his students Darwin's theory of evolution. The case receives national attention and one of the newspaper reporters, E.K. Hornbeck, arranges to bring in renowned defense attorney and atheist Henry Drummond to defend Cates. The prosecutor, Matthew Brady is a former presidential candidate, famous...
One of my fav genres
Angry old men court case
Court movies are always fun
Andor e3 || Karma for Timm 💯 ||
Andor e3 || damn Luthen just needed one clean shot in between Syril’s eyes while driving away ||
Bcs s3 ep 2 || los pollos hermanos
i sense the man himself appearing soon ||
Bcs s3 ep 2 || IT HIM ||
Bcs s3 ep 2 || so funny seeing howard out of nowhere without context just jumping fences
. Seems like this is going to lead into a trial of chuck vs jimmy now that they witnessed him breaking and entering and destroying the tape ||
They also gave me these 
Pretty sure it’s just previews of new comics
I flipped through them both and it’s just covers and information
oh hm
Also saw this at Barnes and Noble 
truly a masterpiece
@jolly heath Breaking bad || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc8GqeY7gWk&ab_channel=TynoWeb ||
The tear 

Breaking bad ||"At times like this we ask ourselves deep questions: Is there a god? How could he let this happen? Who did this to me? Who can I sue?" ||


Knowing bob it was probably improv too

Also are you on ep 5 yet
👍
The second half of S3 is peak BCS
Coincidentally after Vince left the writers' room
🏃♂️
@feral kettle https://twitter.com/Showgirls_1995/status/1572628752676589569?t=8hqt4J_4X4hgf_uzWloAFQ&s=19
He's going to live forever
i hope so
Bcs s3 ep 5 || that was a smart trick, huell planting the battery
||
Bcs s3 ep 5 || chuck’s actor is really great, he plays him so well ||
BCS s3 ep 5 || I AM NOT CRAZY!!! I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And HE gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him! You--||

Breaking Bad could never 🥱
Bcs s3 ep 5 || what i like about how this situations in the series happened is that neither side is in the right, Jimmy “fired the first shot” because he wanted to help Kim at the expense of breaking the law and screwing over hhm which led to chuck playing him with the tape so it was this constant back and forth. Chuck also said he doesnt hate Jimmy, and i think its partially true, but from what we saw in flashbacks i do think he holds some level of disdain for him. Examples such their mother calling for him on her deathbed and jimmy making jokes and having a good time with his wife at their dinner because of his charisma, and chuck attempting to also make a joke but it failing led chuck’s pride seeing Jimmy’s success as antagonistic to himself and what he holds sacred (the law) but at the same time jimmy is no saint, he has good intentions but he still fucks up a lot of things along the way and he gets bribed fairly easily
, but, and this has happened twice now that i can think of (maybe more in smaller moments), his true character was revealed in those moments at the extreme, he didnt need to save those 2 boys from tuco, and he would have gotten out of that situation either way, but he risked his own skin to stop tuco from killing them. Even after doing all this forgery and fraud he laid it all out to chuck just because he was worried for his health, with no regard for his own outcome. Both of them are great unique characters and who’re polar opposites of each other ||
just some thoughts so far
uwu
Bcs s3 ep 5 || also kim is a fucking trooper, skylar could never ||

||Based AF||
BCS s3 ep 5 ||Chuck's fault is his excessive pride, which in the case of the sandpiper number swap it paid off, but that was solely out of him not accepting he could make a mistake. Even if he doesn't hate Jimmy, he would never admit it yea||
Bcs s3 ep 5 || yeah. Also like all the mike stuff we’ve been getting and he’s showing a lot more of the cartel side and how he slowly made his way to Gus through the doctor -> goofy monster truck dude -> nacho -> hector -> gus, which is cool. Mike is just a great char and he fits everywhere basically
like jimmy calling him up to be a repair man||
@burnt lake Yo I wanted to show you my new lock screen

Hotd ep 5 ||hot damn the finale was quite gruesome but felt so in character. I loved the execution. Finally pieces are moving out of their comfort zone. By pieces I mean characyers||
