DF Spoilers / Re: Is Cassius death curse in effect already?
« on: September 30, 2021, 02:58:16 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.

Clearly Cinder Spires is DF earth after the BAT. Why? Gwendolyn Margaret Elizabeth Lancaster.

Or maybe Jim just likes that name *Shrug*
Wasn't Margaret Dresden's middle name Gwendolyn?

Margaret (Maggie) Dresden, Margaret (Molly) Carpenter, Margaret Dresden (LeFay). Maiden, Mother, Crone?

IMHO, the nicknames are to distract you from the fact that the most important women in Harry's life are all named Margaret.

In fact, since Madge if a diminutive form of Margaret, I'd be completely unsurprised if Mab's proper name wasn't Margaret.

Thing is, at this point given his history and service to the Almighty, I cannot see anyone who is a "saint" slapping that kind of curse on Michael.  And even if one tried, I think the Almighty would veto it.  No, in this case the silver came out because as mentioned, stainless steel would be painful if not fatal to their daughter.  Also for Sunday dinner with honored guests one breaks out the family best china and silver, which these days is inherited for the most part. Gone are the days when newly married couples get sets of sterling and fancy china as wedding gifts.. Yeah, it happens, but mostly it is inherited, that is how I got mine anyway.
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.
And the curse could be laid by a saint, a demon lord or a fae queen.
Jim said Tera West would be back by or for the BAT. So, expect the inherited silver to come out then, too. Since MacFinn's curse is a bloodline curse. MacFinn could have made puppies with Tera West or left kids behind in Vietnam.

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.

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.
Y'see, I think that's the endgame for Harry after has destroyed the current state of affairs in the supernatural world, wrecked the fae courts and caused their destruction by removing the need for them, having either destroyed the outsiders or sealed them away from reality for all time or for at least this cycle.

Harry and Molly are going to get together and make babies. Given that the files are written by Harry after the fact, and given the ominous warning at the end of Storm Front, Harry is going to be mega powerful at the end. Of course, nothing says that Molly can't make babies as the Winter Queen.

I think we'll see Sarissa and Fix at the wedding. Titania will probably beg off. Although Mother Winter might beg off on the pretext of walking difficulty.

Mab said it'd be a year, and the book is currently named twelve months. So it'll likely be the anniversary of their victory, or the day after. So when was BG?
Around the 21st of June. Ethniu and Corb tried to take down Mab on the summer solstice, when Winter was at its weakest.

I had a horrible Mirror Mirror thought this morning.

Harry's the bad guy in the MM universe and he summons our Harry to die in his place in a confrontation with some big bad.

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?

In their soul gaze, there was one image of Molly with a scarred cheek, wearing the robe of a warden of the White Council. Several people have theorized that the scar on her cheek was from the mini-fireball that Harry used to teach her the price of going into danger unprepared. In our universe, Molly couldn't stop Harry from moving the fireball closer to her face and collapsed when she failed. Our Harry had mercy and stopped the fireball. But evil Harry probably wouldn't.

I had a theory that the soulgaze was accurate and prophetic. We were going to show different scenes from different point in every phase of Molly's life. So, in that image with the scarred cheek and the warden cloak, everyone assumed she was a warden.

What if the cloak wasn't a vestment of office, but a trophy?

Let's face it. At one point it would be easy to imagine Molly going all Harley Quinn. She already had the hair color and the tattoos. The mind magic and manipulating the minds of others would do for the crazy.

So, evil Harry takes Molly for an apprentice after she manifests magic. Perhaps luring in by promising revenge upon the vamps responsible for Michael's death. Our Harry might get to see a Harry and Molly where Harry didn't shut Molly down when she offered herself to him when he took her for an apprentice.

Hell, if MM Molly isn't batshit crazy, he might get a frank point of view from the MM Molly on how a Harry and Molly relationship might work.

Not that Harry and Molly is going to work in our universe when Molly is wearing the Winter Lady mantle.

Such a fun topic!!

Harry -  Denarian and completely simpatico with Lasciel.
Marcone - Knight of the Cross (This is just too good not to use).
Murphy - Dead from the Loup Garou.
Maggie - No Maggie, Harry didn't show up in time.
Susan - Still alive and still an unturned Red Court vamp, will never forgive Harry for saving Maggie (hey, how else to torture Harry even more?)
Michael - Black Court vamp (such a great idea)
Molly - a crazy mind controlling bad guy still on the run from the white council
Morgan - still dead, but took all the blame
Peabody - still slowly infecting the White Council's minds with his special ink
The Archive - I don't know how she'd be different, but she'd be an interesting character in the story.
Rudolph is a good guy and is trying to help Harry (talk about torture)
The ThreeEye drug problem is out of control in Chicago...
The Three Eye problem has to be solved and Murphy cannot be dead from the Loup Garou. The divergence happens after those events.

The Water Beetle was also sunk at the end of Battle Ground. The old diesel might not work again and require a more modern replacement. Modern diesels have electronic controls and that might make it not work for Harry. Still a good way to run supplies if one of the Alphas or Butters runs it out. But, Harry is running out of mundane allies in Chicago.

I think Margaret's ruby is about to get used.

DF Spoilers / Re: Why did Bob never spot Bonnie growing?
« on: September 23, 2021, 06:32:35 PM »
I think it's an upcoming plot point. Bob is not aware of Bonea. Alfred, Molly, Mab and Maggie are the only ones aware of Bonea. Molly isn't aware of Bob. The last is important because Mab is on the lookout for our favorite skull-resident letch.

Honest people assume other people are honest until they are given reason to distrust people in general or specific examples.

4.  Killing the entire Red Court.  Some of that may be becoming apparent already with the Fomor.  I'm wondering if Harry will realize he had another option, and the one he chose was the wrong one.  As a wizard I'm wondering if he could have worked out a spell, and used that source of power for something else, rather than sacrifice Susan and wipe out out the Red's.


TBF, Harry didn't sacrifice Susan. Susan sacrificed Susan to get revenge on Martin. Once Susan was gone, Harry used the blood of the new ramp to kill the Red Court.
