DF Spoilers / Re: Instinct, short stories for puppy rescue
« on: March 14, 2023, 05:40:46 AM »
Because the Justin is Cowl team doesn't think he burned to death. The good guys in the books do. We just disagree on which WoJ is a deception. He could call the dog Ash because it was the one he saved from the burning building Harry fled from with Mouse and his littermates.

You do realize that Justin could be Cowl and Nameless could have still done all the other things you conjecture as one of his allies on the Black Council. The only theory of yours it upsets is Cowl's identity.

Your posts about Nameless are forcing me to reread The Law again.

Don't bother, the entire first section is his own personal fanfic. We have no idea how Marcone met Nameless. Or why the way Cowl says "Harry is a PITA" rather than "Dresden is a PITA" on seeing Mouse means that he calls Marcone, John. I guess if Nameless really is Cowl, contrary to WoJ that we had seen his alter ego long before "The Law" was ever dreamed up, then it would be. However, Nameless does not refer to Marcone by any Name during their one shared scene. No one present is named by any other attendee.

Marcone wouldn't let an employee take liberties. It's not done in either criminal or supernatural circles. And don't think he wouldn't push the issue. He held his ground against Ethniu, Nameless would get one warning then be fired and reported to Mab as unsuitable.

Nameless is not one of Marcone's confidantes, he's an employee. And Nameless, despite being a rebel by nature, is also a denizen of the supernatural world where proper etiquette is a key component of all interactions. No matter what he may think, I'm sure he addresses Marcone as Baron, otherwise it'd be akin to a challenge.

Harry's familiarity with others has caused him no end of trouble, Nameless knows to avoid this.

I'm assuming you mean Nameless here but in his only shared scenes with Harry and Marcone, Harry did not call him John. He did not even refer to Marcone by any name. And i doubt Marcone grouses to Nameless about Harry in any off-screen time.

Another hint in the Justin is Cowl idea.  Cowl is wearing gloves in every appearance, even when sitting in the farmhouse here. Why? Because he's been severely burned and needs to keep himself covered.

Cowl also sees Mouse and says "Harry is a pain", not Dresden. Both are correct but using Harry seems to make him much more familiar. As if he knows Harry from conversations and interactions beyond what we've seen in the books. I don't think someone who's only been in adversarial interactions with Harry would casually refer to him by his first name.

The only problem with that is the Justin would have had to be working with Kemmler at the same time he was a Warden.

And that Jim has said he is dead.DED

And he had no access to Winter, necessary for the attack on Arctis Tor, the manipulation of Lloyd Slate, Sarissa, Winter Changelings and of course Maeve.

Justin could have been Kemmler's mole in the council and only turned his coat when he saw that this last time was going to be the last time. We know he had contacts with the Outsiders and that could be all he needed to get contact with the Slate and the rest.

Jim has also said that Cowl was someone we'd seen before as himself. Not as some nondescript extra in the background of one scene. Which WoJ is a lie then?

I am more and more convinced that Justin is Cowl.

The WoJ that we have seen Cowl in his true persona predates "The Law" by years. So, which non-Cowl character that has appeared before was he since Nameless as himself has never appeared before "The Law"?

DF Spoilers / Re: Winter and summer relationship

I think they love but can't stand to be around each other. Some of that's personality and some is the Mantles being opposites. I also think Titania is more standoffish because she feels the hurt of their separation more than Mab and doesn't want to remember it while Mab just soldiers through any pain.

Evil Bob got the drop on Harry because Harry trusted him. He wouldn't have been as nonchalant about a different spirit.

Winter is an army fighting a 24/7/365 hot war to defend to the death the existence of a group of people who have no gratitude and give only an inkling of assistance. Sometimes Mab has to involve the protected and those plans definitely follow the omelets and eggs strategy. Also, when those soldiers get leave they want to run wild. Summer's job is to be the MP's that prevent the worst excesses in both cases.

As far as the love-hate relationships go, they're similar to families with domestic violence issues. They fight like cats and dogs but if a third-party steps in or crosses them, they both turn on them like piranha on a pig. And their relationships run a full spectrum from screaming and hair pulling to friendly professional rivals. There's a reason the Supernatural world developed such an elaborate and formalized etiquette system.

Because we have not seen the island or Alfred engage two enemies at once. He's not a rapid fire machine gun, at least that we have seen. He's the Death Star turbolaser, an incredibly devastating shot - but single shot and reload. He alternated between Lara and Freydis. He didn't hit both at the same time.

Because Harry didn't want them dead just subdued. He used his bare minimum powers. If he had hit them with the powers that he learned of that were capable of stopping the Nemesis beach landing, I think we wouldn't find the pieces without a microscope. That Deathstar turbo-laser is a pretty wide beam compared to a man-sized object though. I think it would constitute an area of effect big enough to handle a small group of humans on a beach.

I highly doubt that anything short of the Mothers could stop a Nemfected Mab.

and while he does this LtW, Mai, or a Warden shoots him in the back.

They get one shot at Harry, who'll have his shields at maximum plus whatever boost Alfred can provide and then he's gone. I concede that he has to survive their initial attacks, but we've seen Harry do that on multiple occasions.  After that, Alfred stomps them while Harry makes himself scarce and uses his intellectus to monitor the proceedings.
