Thank you, my dear!
I loved that you made me a thread and those cupcakes were amazing!
Among my gifts these year I had a sweet Krypto and a Grogu Funko (not my first one, we have lots of Grogus around the house). I also gave hubby a Grogu HotWheels that is super cute.

I hope you all are having a great day and Regen, I am glad you are enjoying your reading. And yes, less than a month!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE,! (if you don't celebrate Christmas, at least hopefully you have some days off)  :) :) :)

Thanks my beloved forumites for being there and have a lot of fun!

We have all ready for tonight, so I am now relaxing while watching the submarine streaming here, especially when it is live so they did some Christmas decorations and they are amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpO8VPuY698

Classic AI hallucination, with a light dusting of genuine references, taken in incorrect contexts for a surreal result.
  I know, I had dealt with that regarding the DF before. The things the AI told me were hilarious, but nothing so complete, detailed and wrong at the one Lehane posted.

WT...H?????
Also, this question:
"If Harry successfully killed Nic, would Rudolph be a good host for Anduriel? No. Nobody likes Rudolph. Even the Fallen are like 'That guy? Give me something better to work with'. Nic is a main series villain, Harry will be dealing with him till the end, take that for what you will. " [From the Transcript on Reddit].
was so weird. So random.

(((((((((Don))))))))))))))(((((((((((((Regen)))))))))))))))
I am very glad things were well with your tooth, Don.

Regen, that is amazing about the knitting and the little figurines. I have a BB8 that a friend made for me and I bought another one, a Fallout Pip Boy that I bought to hubby. I don't know how to knit, or crochet. In fact, I barely know basic sewing. No one taught me and I did not have the interest.
It is so cool that you knit for people who need it. Also, I would love to have pink hand warmers. I 've seen some very lovely hand warmers here (worn by people in the bus or at the university) but in the stores I've only seen some very plain ones. Also, I usually forget to search for them.

Summer is not so hard so far. Only a couple of days have been absolutely horrible, too humid and dense. But generally speaking is more or less fine.

The ending of the year is slowly killing me as I am very, very busy, but I am not complaining, things are going more or less well, considering what I think is an abysmal situation for my country, especially sciences, culture, things like that.

I pre-ordered 12 months and Out Law and I am a happy camper  :)

I am enjoying the current season of Stranger Things  :) Also, I watched the first episode of Percy Jackson and it is fine. Cute I would say.

Some of the book in my list are more or less stable. For example, SG and SK. Others, not so much.

Fight against?  Or acting to stop and save Harry from himself in the emotion of the moment.   What Butters and Sanya did was no different from what you see in a sporting event when a player feels he was done dirty and wants to fight the guy who did it.  His teammates will do whatever they can to stop him from doing it. Why? If he gets kicked out of the game or a severe penalty it hurts the whole team and there is a good chance they will lose.  Now is that really fighting against their teammate?  Or is it an aggressive way of saving a teammate from himself?  I say it's the latter.  Harry was out of his mind with grief and anger after Rudy murdered Murphy before his eyes.. An angry out of control [understandably Harry was in that moment] isn't easy to hold back, almost impossible to stop, but they managed.  The influence of Lasciel?  Doubtful, more likely just plain grief and anger at what he had just witnessed.  Also let's not forget that Rudy had been on both his and Murphy's case for sometime, so very easy for Harry to jump to the conclusion that Rudy did this deliberately, maybe trying to kill him, but Murphy got in the way and died for it.  Fighting against?  No, just doing their best to prevent a critical member of their team from being thrown out of the game and thus making matters way worse for their team.

I agree with all this, Mira.

Also, it seems that this take place during Twelve Months and not after it, even when the novella will be out after the books.

May 12, 2026. Blurb and cover speak of the recovery of a devastated Chicago. I wonder if Harry is walking into Demonreach there. More importantly, not hat! I like the model for Harry too.

Actually we are Jim's employer, we buy his books, this is how he and his publisher make their profits. 

We are his clients, not his employers or bosses. He offers what we want to sell and it is up to us if we want to buy it or not.

TBH, I think that was just Rudy being incredibly stupid, and with abysmal trigger-discipline.

He didn't mean to shoot, he was just "twitchy," had his finger on the trigger when he shouldn't have... and twitched at the wrong moment.
I think most of us agree he is not evil per se. I think it can be worse, the banality of evil comes to mind. But that is not what I want to say. I wanted to post that I do not think he is Loki or anyone doing what he did on purpose, because of the light saber a.k.a.  Fidelacchius. It would have probably accepted that Harry was not a monster if he tried to go against a supernatural or evildoer like Loki. It knew Harry was overreacting and that is why it hurt him.

Even when I do not think Rudy is random evil in disguise, I have not discarded the idea that he could have been under some kind of magical influence, like an entropy curse or something like that. I can see JB creating a sort of reverse Felix Felicis, just to have some fun with the fans of that other wizard called Harry.

Lots of forces act around Harry all the time. Some of them, he can control and even create but most of them, he cannot.
