It’s disrespectful to the ladies tribe but he’s done a lot of good with it so

that kind of mentality is literally what causes his downfall

His loss is ultimately the gain of a lot of people, it’s kinda the fucked up part of the books
He does succeed
He does stop the bad guys, but it costs him everything and his humanity

stephen king does ackward sex scenes lol

I would argue awkward is putting it gently

still it's not the depiction of women that i noticed being bad
maybe the early bachman books
gray umbra
I probably mentally glazed over it
crystal forum
i dont remember the woman in misery being hot lol
tommyknockers either
anyways he's toned down the sex over the years. his recent books i dont remember it having wacky shit
guy used to take a lot of drugs which i highly doubt dan the brit has ever even seen
paper haven
They both have the same energy of spending fifteen fucking pages describing a lamp
crystal forum
plus i'd say dan is way more of a "spends 15 pages to describe environment" while king is more of a "spends 15 pages showing the mental state of a person"
opaque coyote
Still though, I think the only writer that has been overly egregious with descriptions is Ian Watson.
Like just in general.
Seriously what's with smut writers and purple prose jesus fucking christ-
dusk patrol
anyways he's toned down the sex over the years. his recent books i dont remember...
That cause he stopped the hard drugs.

You can be descriptive without being repetative.
opaque coyote
But that's because I generally care more about characters than world building
opaque coyote
You can be descriptive without being repetative.
Me reading my writing and seeing that half of my sentences start with a pronoun
gray umbra
he probably took more than that but you really get into the swing of things when your creative juices are flowing and you're high as fuck

PRONOU-
Jokes aside I can't help but like
feel that it's repetitive whenever they all start with a pronoun.

It's funny to say that someone's weakness is copper, but it is true that humans have a weakness to lead. The element not bullets. Although also bullets I suppose.

i understand it would be situational, but, in the setting of darktide lets say
Krieg usually got combat knives or trench clubs
