DF Spoilers / Re: Grey Council… will we meet it in TM? Who is on it?
« on: March 13, 2025, 04:21:43 PM »
Eb and Odin, I recall.  Lea (and/or Mab, by proxy) too.
I don't recall any clear signs of Langtry being there...?   (there is a puppy on my lap, I cannot go get a copy of Changes to re-read the scenes at Chichen Itza).

I strongly suspect Langtree is on it but I don’t recall any confirmation that Langtree is a member.

DF Spoilers / Re: Questions for Mab

In “The Law” Harry mentions how he only has funds to run the Castle for 18 months… that must be his Skin Game loot.  At some point Harry’s constant money problems are just ridiculous.  Can our Author not just addess that?

Langtree is on it, he was mentioned if I remember correctly in Changes when they finally showed up at CI.. Eb was also part of it, but off the top of my head I cannot remember who else showed up.  I wouldn't be shocked if we find out that Morgan was part of it and that Rashid is part of it..

Wasn’t Morgan dead before it was formed?

DF Spoilers / Questions for Mab
« on: March 11, 2025, 10:09:29 PM »
Didn’t Molly mention having significant financial resources as Winter Lady… as such… and because it would make Harry more effective and efficient as Winter Knight shouldn’t Harry ask Mab about a salary or financial resources available to him as Winter Knight?

Any other questions Harry should address to Mab?

I hope we do.  I think Langtry is on it.  Just a gut feeling.  I suspect Harry was expelled from the WC to give him more freedom of action.

DF Spoilers / Molly’s trial… what if…
« on: January 18, 2025, 06:02:03 PM »
Harry had played it cool and not shamed the Merlin.  We all saw the various windows in Harry’s soulgaze of Molly.  Suppose the Merlin imposed the Doom of Damocles on Molly but assigned her apprenticeship to Eb… or LtW instead of Harry.  Would she be the Warden image we saw.  More capable in battle because her Master was less gentle with her in training?

Discuss…

  A book.  That is what I expect.

DF Spoilers / “All of Winter” in Proven Guilty
« on: January 16, 2025, 03:32:13 PM »
We now know that Winter bears the burden of Defending the “Outer Gates”.  When Harry cast fire into the Winter Wellspring and “all of Winter” came to slay Harry or drive him out… what happened at the Gates.  Surely that couldn’t have been “all of Winter” or the Gates and walls would have fallen. 

Right?

DF Spoilers / Re: We gotta talk about Margaret LeFay
« on: July 20, 2024, 03:57:41 PM »
First time poster here, so I have some catching up to do in the fan speculation stuff here. Harry's mom is composed of about 90% hearsay and rumors. Let's add some more by speculating wildly here.

Who is LeFay's mom? I'd be disappointed if it was some yet unnamed vanilla human. My money is on the Leanansidhe. Who can we add to the suspect list?

LeFay was also about a century old before she died. Do Harry and Thomas have any older siblings?

Now a hypothesis: LeFay met Malcolm after hiring him for Thomas's birthday on Valentines day. Nine months later, Harry was born on Halloween. Plausible?

What other head cannon have you been filling Margaret Gwendolyn McCoy LeFay's backstory with?

I hope Maggie Sr. mom was mortal.  I’m tired of every character in the DF having to have some supernatural connection.  I loved Murphy in part because she was a competent vanilla mortal. 

I hope Harry’s grandmother was a woman Eb fell deeply in love with who had his daughter and we discover later… exactly why Eb has such a deep seated hatred of vampires.

DF Spoilers / True Love as Defense against White Court Vampires
« on: July 20, 2024, 03:51:56 PM »
I’m re-reading Side Jobs and recently finished the Thomas Novella “Backup”.  In it Thomas mentions that “True Love” is a defense against all Wamps.  Then we have the short story “Love Hurts” where a Ramp is helping brew up a potion that helps facilitate “True Love” in mortals to make it more difficult for Wamps to feed. 

Here’s my problem.  This makes sense as a defense to Raith style Wamps who feed on lust which is a twisting of love.  Why would it work on Skavis and Malvora types?  Should genuine deeply felt “hope” defeat a Skavis’ desire to feed on Despair and genuine deeply held “faith” (in something) work to defeat a Malvora’s feeding on fear? 

Clearly the three methods of Wamp feeding fear, despair, and lust were conceived as being oppositional to the three virtues of faith, hope, and love.  Why would “true love” defeat all wamps?

DF Spoilers / Re: So… Bob’s a Castle now?
« on: January 07, 2024, 08:44:34 PM »
He still has the skull, but having Bob run the castle saves Harry lots of time. Bob can figure out how the house works and let Harry know of things that need his attention. This is especially important because Harry is deep in his post Battle Ground funk.


Sure.  But is the Castle itself a safe vessel for Bob.  In GS Harry mentioned he thought the sub-basement might have worked as such.

I recently read the Toot/Lacuna story.  Is Castle Dresden now Bob’s new vessel?

DF Spoilers / Re: Why did Dumorne put the mental whamy on when he did?

My personal theory is that since we now know hhwb wasn't sent by Justin, he was sent for him.

Which meant that Justin (who had hijacked Maggie's Starborn plan for his own ends) needed Harry and Elaine ready early, which meant abandoning traditional brainwashing/conditioning in favour of Magical alternatives.

Unfortunately for him, hhwb was able to turn Justin's anti-outsider wmd against him.


Perhaps.  We’ve been getting this story in fits and starts for 16 books.  I’m looking forward to seeing it told… fulsomely.
