DF Spoilers / Re: "Twelve Months" Cover Released
« on: July 21, 2025, 05:00:19 PM »
The green crystals are on Deamonreach. Also, remember when Lara and Mab show up in the backseat of his car and his magic is tinged with green? Mab (I think) says something about his connection with the Island.

DF Spoilers / Re: Malcolm Dresden
« on: July 07, 2025, 05:14:46 PM »
Just seems to me, Dresden naming someone a good man means more than just the average (or above average) good person. He refers to both Michael and Shiro this way. Eb refers to Malcolm this way. I'd be curious if there were more to it than just the basics. Heck, Michael rescues Charity from a dragon. Maybe Malcolm rescued Margaret from Papa Raith. (Just behind the scenes---maybe Eb--who has tremendous distrust for the White Court--knows something more...and this is why he refers to him this way).

DF Spoilers / Malcolm Dresden
« on: July 04, 2025, 12:42:53 AM »
Rereading Skin Game.

I had a thought. (Stop the presses!  ;D) In SG, when asked about his whereabouts by Murphy, Harry (getting his arm fixed) refers to Michael as a Good Man. We've heard Ebenezer refer to Malcolm in the same way. So, I wonder if Malcolm may've been a Knight of the Cross--even if only a short time--like Murphy and her use of the sword--Not the right full-time job for her, but right for a particular one. So...wouldn't that be something?

That's all I have.

Off to reread a little more.

Cheers and best to all!

DF Spoilers / Dresden spells and would you change them
« on: June 29, 2025, 02:21:21 AM »
I've had a few moments when I've thought, "Gee, I think Infriga would've been better than Fozare in this scene." Ever have those moments? I'm sure there are reasons for each--Fire isn't best here, could hurt bystanders...Force is better...As we see Dresden develop a bit more finesse with magic along the way, I think it would be cool to see his spell-casting become even more nuanced.

When he and Asher go to the party to get Valmont, I thing Infriga would've been cool instead of Fozare in dealing with the initial appearance of the Fomor and the octokongs.

DF Spoilers / Re: Ghost Story--two things--Three?

When Harry wasn't quite dead...Would Papa Wraith have been able to feed? Or feel twinges of his former self?

Can you imagine? He's like...Ummm...that's a familiar feeling...Could it be? Maybe? .....crap. Nope.

DF Spoilers / Ghost Story--two things
« on: June 07, 2025, 01:43:59 AM »
Continuing my re read of the Files. Good stuff. Previously, and I'm not sure why, GS never seems to stick with me for some reason. I've both read and listened to it. It's the odd one for me in the series. This time, it feels much better to me. Not sure if I'm just in the right mindset or what, but details are really sticking and I'm nearly done and I can't wait until the end and maybe restart it.

1st--Am I the only one who feels this way? Or out of all the novels, is this the one that doesn't hit a homeroom initially and you have to come back to it?

2nd--Harry as the Winter Knight. As a spirit, should Harry have been able to draw upon Winter? I mean, he was able to capitalize on his magical memories and use them as weapons...shouldn't he have been able to do the same with Winter? (And maybe even more so and to a more dramatic effect?)

Ok. Cheers and best to everyone!

Also, I wonder if it cold be tied to Harry's habit of naming things and people. Just look at Toot and how he's grown as Harry has given him more responsibility along with the different titles. Word-O-Mancy?

DF Spoilers / Thomas
« on: May 19, 2025, 08:19:33 PM »
I think it's been awhile, but I vaguely remember a discussion about what happens to Thomas. Can't remember exactly, but there's a moment in Harry's discussing the swords in Changes (again--rereading) and I've concluded that Amoracchius will banish his demon and leave him fully human. And then, he'll take up the sword. Or by taking up the sword of Love, he'll be able to keep his demon at bay.

I don't know---some combo of that. I'll go back and find what triggered it for me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. Maybe Butters slices away the evil and leaves him fully human...???

I don't know--just something. lol

DF Spoilers / Turncoat
« on: May 10, 2025, 08:02:01 PM »
Obviously, I've been rereading.  ;D

Near the end of Turncoat, Dresden and McCoy are talking about the fact that Peabody wasn't by himself on the island. Who was the 2nd person? Did we find out and I missed it along the way? Do we think this was Cowl joining him in Chicago? Some other Black Council wizard/entity?

Hope all are well. Cheers!

DF Spoilers / Re: Harry's force rings
« on: April 25, 2025, 02:46:10 PM »
Leave it in his jeans while doing the laundry and let the spin charge it?

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Though, the water might delete the magic of them. Maybe ride a bike with the rings somehow attached to wheels.

Maybe this thread becomes a list of top ten ways to recharge Harry's rings! 

10. Spin cycle of the wahing machine (with possible issues)
9. Bicycle ride with rings attached to wheels
8. Mouse dries himself after a bath (Rotational velocity)
7.


Okay Folks! Add yours to the list!

DF Spoilers / Harry's force rings
« on: April 25, 2025, 01:34:14 AM »
Was wondering a little bit about these. Harry describes charging them with his own motion throughout the day and whatnot like that. He hits the heavy bag at one point to recharge them. I was thinking if it's kinetic energy like how watches maintain charge(?), wouldn't it be possible for Harry to use some sort of device to do this like those used for watches? I'm sure the technology aspect of it may negate it, but I'm just thinking that it should be possible.

Liking this theory.

Do we have confirmation that Kumori was killed in DB? That's the only hitch I can see so far.

DF Spoilers / Re: And another thing...Justine

Justine's Nemfection has been discussed, yes.
@Mira has an interesting theory that she has actually been Nemfected all along (or since very-early); I'm not convinced, but I think there's some evidence to support the idea, needing hardly any tin-foil for her hat (I've certainly needed much more, for some of my own crackpot notions!).

Papa Raith's Outsider-fueled personal anti-magic ward, and his porn-star-sorceress Outsider-summoning, Vito's Outsider-possession, Justine's Nemfection, all pointing to substantive Outsider activity within the White Court.

My theory is, Mab's primary interest in ordering Harry to marry Lara is to incite a "patented Harry Dresden Anarchygasm" amongst the Whamps, and proactively/preemptively expose more Outsiders.

Yes. I can see Mab using Harry to disinfect the White Court. Sorta like she had to do with her own court--Lea, etc. Perhaps Lara already knows there's a problem and she and Mab launched this plan together knowing that Harry is the cure.

DF Spoilers / Re: Choices
« on: April 14, 2025, 07:02:15 PM »
If we consider Harry as a decent person even in the Mirror universe and makes a decision that, in effect, is decent (but questionable--ie. Molly helping her friends), then maybe something subtle becomes much more---adding up to him taking up the coin of Lashiel.

I'm most curious about how we'll find him in Mirror Mirror. Is he under the radar or out and hello on wheels, so to speak.

DF Spoilers / And another thing...Justine
« on: April 12, 2025, 04:43:31 PM »
Right before Harry and Carlos duel Malvora and Madrigal Wraith, he chats with Justine. He asks how she's up and around. She's more than a bit evasive I think. Sorry, I've been listening, so don't have the exact quote.

I'm sure this has been discussed, but Nemfected would explain it all, but it kind of pins down a timeline for infection of Justine.

Feel free to tell me it's been discussed and where have I been.  hehe

Cheers to all!
