DF Spoilers / Re: Is Cassius death curse in effect already?
« on: September 30, 2021, 08:38:33 PM »
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.."

Titania is fine, her niece by her identical twin is now her daughter, and not nemfectected to boot.

Any antagonism she might feel towards Harry isn’t professional. It’s personal, and seeing Harry marry Lara scratches that itch, I bet her wedding gift is a sumptuous marriage bed, just to rub it in to Harry.

A bed of roses, no flowers, all thorns.. ::)

  Unless it is more like a transporter as in Star Trek, but that is using a device.

No, it isn't.  The discussion was how Harry specifically, plus LtW, River Shoulders, and the wardens did vs Drakul and the Black Court Vampires.  The result was a loss.  "surviving is a win" was LtW referring to how he and River Shoulders did vs Drakul.  The vampires suffered no casualties while team Dresden lost people (who are now probably vampires). 

Also as I stated previously, Harry lost.  He was dead to rights and got rescued.  Being rescued by someone isn't a victory for you.  If I was being held hostage and police saved me, it wouldn't be my victory. 

So Harry and the Wardens got beat by the BCV's.

Yeah, they took losses, but they weren't all wiped out.  I think a "win" as far as Mavra and Drakul are concerned is a dead and turned Harry.. They didn't get that.

Per Jim, covid is caused by the Jade Court. Who are vamps who live on breath, somehow.

It's an internally consistent view in the Dresdenverse.

Perfect, since it is the lungs of those infected that suffer the most damage, often fatally so.

Nope. Free will trumps celestial power. If a human saint chose to lay that sort of curse, there would be a price to pay. But nobody can stand in the way of free will.

No, but while a saint, again a stretch, but if a saint chose to put a curse on Michael.  He or she could do that of his or her own free will.  However that doesn't prevent the Almighty from removing it or curing Michael of it.  He'd be removing the curse, that in no way interferes with the saint's free will to put it on in the first place.

By that logic, Harry is more powerful than Mab, Titania, the Erlking, and Odin combined because he was the only one that could take down Ethniu after they tried.  He'd be the most powerful wizard in the world by leaps and bounds.  That's not what this thread is about.  It's about where Harry ranks among wizards in a fair fight.

He may be before it is over, especially if he is going to be among the leaders in the BAT.

Pretty sure they're asexual, and the Tor's a building

 Asexual?  Mr Ferro is a mister..  If he was asexual, I'd think he'd just be called "Ferro."

It's worth noting that Chauncy described the MacFinn curse as "said to have been laid by a saint", not "was laid by a saint". He can provide incorrect rumor implied as fact, the same way propaganda actors use "a lot of people are saying" to imply there must be some fire behind the smoke.

But cursing an entire bloodline of people to become ravening homicidal monsters with no choice but to kill seems pretty far from saintly. Aside from the trail of destruction, it's also tampering with the MacFinns' free will. A sufficient power could do it, but could they do it and still be on the right side of the Almighty's graces?

Could even be the Fallen were behind that and framed a saint for PR against the Christianization of Ireland, and Chauncy is repeating their lie as a "said to be".

Yup, one of the worst kind of lies, because it is so hard to refute rumors, as long as there are ears to hear them, someone will believe them.

Maybe one we thought was dead?

I think one could, unless they lose strength in the Nevernever, I think one would be hard to stop.

I've already said that in MMverse, Molly is either dead or a warlock. What if she's a warlock and still is Harry's apprentice?

Or not, in this universe Molly never fully dropped her warlock status, she slipped back into it more than once.  Like using the dark side of the Force, she continued to go into minds when she thought it was right and it was the quick and easy way.. All that time she continued to be Harry's apprentice and put him in danger as well as herself.  No, in the  MMverse, she might be that plump happy mother Harry saw in the soul gaze, forsaking all her power like her mother did.. Leaving Harry without any back up.
