DF Spoilers / This I Believe
« on: April 02, 2019, 07:19:21 AM »
I’ve got a lot of wild, crazy theories about where the Dresden Files will end up, and what’s going on with each character. Most don’t deserve to really be fleshed out and defended. Some, I think, are interesting just in their own right. A few are downright nuts.
This post is, in itself, kind of a ‘statement of belief’ about what I think Jim’s hidden behind the curtain – what was, and is, and will be. I’m not going to go crazy into detail on any one thing here, at least not on the initial post. If any of the below theories look interesting to you, or you want to ask me why on earth I think this thing, go ahead and ask. If you think I’m flat out wrong, then point it out. I want to temper my theory into something resilient, and that doesn’t happen without whacking something a ton with a hammer.
Plus, if I’m right about something, this’ll be my immortalized “I told ya so.”
So, without further ado, my theories.
• Malcolm Dresden works in Chicago Between. When he speaks about being “allowed” to contact Harry in Dead Beat, it’s Uriel who had allowed it.
• Cowl and Kumori are Harry and Molly, from an original timeline in which Harry went down the left-hand path. Harry’s habit of barely scraping through every major fight by the skin of his teeth is in part because he’s following Cowl’s path, roughly, and the Law of Conservation of History tends to save his bacon.
• Mac is a former angel who chose to transubstantiate thousands of years ago. Most likely, this was due to a love interest.
• Andi suffered brain damage in Cold Days, and isn’t able to eat, walk, or take care of herself without assistance.
• The Blackstaff is not, in fact, an actual role within the White Council. Ebenezer simply allowed Harry to come to that conclusion and didn’t correct him.
• Ebenezer is still lying to Harry. He doesn’t have his best interests at heart. I highly suspect that he is, in fact, Nemifected, and may be the original carrier of Nemesis from beyond the Outer Gates. Furthermore, I doubt that there’s much difference, if any, between the Gray Council and the so-called “Black Council.”
• The English-sounding bloke stuck in Demonreach is the original Merlin. 50% chance that Harry’s related to him. 30% chance that Merlin was the REAL target of the bloodline curse in Changes.
• Donar Vadderung also is lying to Harry. He has some use for him planned, something not at all nice.
• Harry will wield Amoracchius again, at least for a time, though he’d be a “one-off Knight” at most.
• The one choice that the evil Harry in Mirror, Mirror made differently back around Bianca’s party was being straightforward with Susan and inviting her as his plus one, rather than Michael.
