Obviously the only person who should take up a coin should be Michael.

Because it's such a Jim thing to do. Michael, lost, angry, desiring revenge. Perhaps if Charity were to be killed it would be enough.

DF Spoilers / Molly in Cold Case
« on: March 31, 2021, 01:45:26 AM »
Something jumped out at me in a line from the end of Cold Case.

Quote
Winter law showed me a vivid image. An endless war fought at the far borders of reality. A war against the pitiless alien menace known simply as the Outsiders. A war fought by millions of fae to prevent the Outsiders from invading and destroying reality itself. A war so long and bitter that bones of fallen were the topography of the landscape. It was why the Winter Court existed in the first place. Why we were so aggressive, so savage, so filled with lust and the need to create more of our kind.

This is right after Molly was saddled with the Winter Lady mantle. That last line, "Why we were so aggressive... the need to create more of our kind."

I was mulling this over on a drive tonight and thinking if it was the inclusive 'We' or the Royal 'We'. The Royal We would be bad, but not terrible. Just Molly acknowledging that she is part of the ruling family of Winter fae. But when I got home and read it again, I realized that it is the inclusive 'We', because of the 'our' that follows it.

Right after she had the mantle thrust upon her, she was self-identifying as a Winter fae.

I think the mantles require holders to be mortal, not fae. The knights are always mortal. Titania and Mab were sisters and Mab drops that she was mortal in BG. Aurora was Titania's daughter, either before or after she took the mantle, so she's a question mark. Sarissa and Maever were Mab's daughters, per WOJ, by an Austrian composer in the 1800s. So, half mortal. Molly was fully human.

There's a strong argument that the leaders of the fae courts, guardians of reality, have to be mortal. I.E. have a strong connection to reality.

Jim has said recently that the fae courts had a sponsor to become the guardians of the Outer Gates. That sponsor set up the courts and created the mantles.

He's also said that Mother Summer has been replaced once, either was killed or retired. Mother Winter is the OG Mother Winter and the only fae queen who was around when the courts were set up. She could be the original sponsor wearing one of the mantles to retain immortality. I believe Jim will use her as a conduit to tell the tale of the origin of the courts.

Thankfully he's also said that the fae courts will be the last guardians of the Outer Gates. Which I take to mean that they will no longer be needed and the fae courts and mantles will be destroyed by the end of the BAT.

Unless Leah played Mab.....  Think about it..  Who could possibly replace Mab if Molly isn't ready?  Leah....  She's #2 to Mab in power level.  She's the next option behind Molly.

It hasn't been shown yet, but every lady who has taken a mantle has been at least part mortal. We don't know what Aurora's origin was. But Maeve and Sarissa's father, according to a WOJ was an Austrian composer in the 1800s. Molly, of course, was fully human.

I'm not sure that Lea is qualified to be a lady.

And did he save Susan?
Exactly the point I was making.

Well, the fae courts are done as guardians of the Outer Gates, per WOJ, by the end of the series. I don't know if that's a good or evil harbinger for our heroes. Jim might also be lying to us.

In the Pennsacon WOJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA6hcE5-YCA Jim says that

...Though Molly's sort of... her story path is not... it's not towards being familiar and human...

I gotta say, this has killed a lot of my investment in the books. I'm not concerned about Harry. He gets battered and bruised, but it's the people around him that always wind up paying. If Molly falls to Winter completely, I'm out. I will be Farcry 5, GOT Season 8 pissed. Harry promised to get out of Winter and bring Molly with him. Just like he promised to save Susan.

Harry is turning into the Destroyer. But it's his friend's lives he destroys.

DF Spoilers / Re: Is Mab Nemfected? Is Mother Winter? Something else?
« on: March 08, 2021, 10:18:55 PM »
Jim loves him some foreshadowing. He's showing Mab longing for her humanity. Her admission that she used to be mortal. The way she gazed enviously at Harry's burn. Harry's mantle shuts down his sensation of pain. Imagine how Mab's does the same thing, only writ large. Her emotions, even her common sensations are probably all muted so that she can concentrate on being coldly logical.

Mab either is infected or will be infected by the final book of the series. Empty Night, a sky without stars, exactly as she said. The stars will have fallen from the sky. It fits perfectly with my theory that Molly will fall deeper into Winter and be struggling, then have the Winter Queen mantle thrust upon her, an echo of when she was saddled with the Winter Lady mantle. (Although she'll probably order Harry to repeat his Stone Table command performance. The Winter Queen is a mother, after all.)

Mother Winter is the original. I think she is the fae court sponsor that allowed them to be the guardians of the Outer Gates. She's not going to be Nfected. At least not until she spills the beans about how the fae courts were set up.

I think in five or six years we'll have enough distance from it to remember all the discomfort and isolation to be thankful that we're not there any longer.

DF Spoilers / BAT Timing Is Perfect

PT/BG took place in 2014. We have 5 more regular books before the BAT, the final three books.

If Jim keeps his pace of the books have about a year's separation.

That means the BAT kicks off in 2020.

Perfect, Jim. Perfect.

Leanansidhe is another candidate. And Maggie is being groomed to be the Winter Lady.

I think Mab's instruction to not feed on her knight is going to lead Lara to feed on the mantle instead, infusing her with Winter magic, and drawing her closer to fae. All it took for Molly was to be instructed by Leanansidhe. Close association with the fae seems to be the key to making on a suitable vessel for fae power.

Lara has a couple hundred years in the court of a pack of vicious predators. She'd do okay as the Winter Queen. Maybe not the best choice for the BAT, but beggars can't be choosers.

Lara does not feed on souls, she feeds on life force.
So, if she feeds on the Winter Knight mantle, she perhaps becomes a suitable vessel for fae power?

Thought of another one, In Peace Talks, during the kraken attack, she was swimming with bull sharks. Aquamotion? I guess that's water magic. That would also be assuming those were Winter bull sharks, and if they were just natural bull sharks, animal control? Geez.
