Dunno, so far I haven't seen an oddball theory come anywhere close, and I'm pretty confident they're not going to.
--- Quote ---Oh wait. I remember. You said sometimes you dread reading the next book for fear some of the theories you found distasteful and that have been argued on this forum might come true.

That's not quite what I said or meant.
When I did say that, I did not mean things like "Murphy = Mab," because I'm extremely confident that such theories are nowhere near anything that Butcher actually has planned for the series, and I don't take them remotely seriously enough to think they'd actually have any bearing at all on the books.
I'm more thinking, "I hope he doesn't kill off Murphy, because we'll never heard the end of it from the people who hate her."
--- Quote ---Besides that I was making a point before that it is rather easy to not create 'oddball' theories. I've made a Murphy=Mab theory that is similar to Ms. Duck's Molly=Mab theory. I use it while reading the Dresden Files. In doing so, I get the quirks of the interplay etc if in fact Murphy ends up Mab, which I wouldn't get until I finally found out that she was Mab. Using the construct, I can also make predictions. Since my theory is durable, I can apply it in many different situations which is why it can pop up many times on this forum. I also like to find ways I can weave it when I find inconsistencies. I'll have to later focus more on those but still, it is a work in progress. At least I don't spend my time arguing the same argument about Murphy with Mira.
I actually do something I enjoy. Unless you actually enjoy arguing with her, in which case keep doing so.

And you can do all that without inserting it into every thread that has anything to do with Murphy.
Really, that's the issue I take. Not that you have the theory (and you'll note that, for the most part, I just don't go into the threads you've started on the subject), but that you seem to push it into every discussion that involves Murphy, whether it's pertinent to the discussion or not.
It's irritating when a theory that I don't see any basis for and have no interest in keeps constantly intruding on the few discussions on this board I am interested in. It's like, "Ok, yes, we heard you the first time. And the second time. And the seventh time. You're saying it a ninth time now and it's getting on people's nerves."
--- Quote from: raidem on June 21, 2018, 07:38:10 PM ---They didn't. Though, I did get the impression in Cold Days that Murphy had put it together about Molly. And in GS, it was apparent she knew Kincaid had killed Harry but she most likely didn't know who had hired him. Harry pointed out that Murphy left out Kincaid as one option as the murderer.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Between them, Murphy and Harry seem to imply that Murphy knows, though I suppose until one of them says something outright we won't know for sure.

Challenge Accepted. See any one of my theories on Arthurian legend, or pretty much anything to do with the gyre or history repeating or ect. :)

And every time a new book comes out I relish the look on peoples faces when some of mine do come true mwahahahaha.
raidem:
I'm glad you are here Jonas. I think we and some others do a great service in introducing 'odd ball' theories. I mean without "odd" theories there is a dimenishment of non odd theories until odd is defined.
huangjimmy108:
The reason why I think Murphy taking up the mantle of Mab in the future is a possibility is because there is a reasonable chance that Mab will fall in the final battle.
If we use Codex Alera as a reference: The outsiders is the Vord and Mab is probably the closest to take the role of firstlord Sextus.
Someone has to die heroicly during the BAT. It is needed to project that sense of deepest darkness and despair before the dawn thing, before our hero protagonist saved the day in the end.
This character must be influencial, powerful and instrumental in the fight against the enemy. Mab is a good candidate for that, and though Molly is the winter lady and suppose to replace Mab precisely in case of such an event, it is hard to do things orderly during the chaos of war. A backup plan must already be put into place and Murphy being one of the backup candidate is not completely out of the realm of possibility.
raidem:
I think Mother Winter will end up dying too. I mean her dying is much more powerful at stakes type of event than even Mab.
We do have a WOJ about one of the Mother's dying/changing and its result on the Fae. He was talking though with respect to the abdication I believe of the last Mother Summer, or possibly the theoretical changing of that position in the future.
