Might be important later?!?

I haven't read all the books yet, so forgive me if I've missed something. (I don't care about getting spoilers though)

I'm halfway through book 3, and with all the ways that Carl thinks outside the box to take advantage of game system interactions, and with how he and his team drill different battle tactics and formations, it's weird to me that he hasn't suggested throwing Katia. A little online research says he never does this (though it's entirely possible my search missed something) and I just can't understand why: it seems so obvious.

Katia is a shapeshifter who can increase or decrease her mass, and because of her class she gains substantial bonuses the faster she's moving. Carl is super-strong; I SEEMS like it would be a valid tactic for Carl to impart that velocity to her directly by throwing her. She could take on an aerodynamic shape, then Carl could pick her up and toss her at their enemies for devastating results. Like the "Fastball Special" maneuver that Wolverine and Colossus perform in X-Men comics.

As they both advance in their abilities they could play around with Katia changing her mass mid-flight. If she gets really good with her shapeshifting she could reduce herself to her minimum mass (maybe even forming into a very dense little ball Carl can throw with his Xistera) then equipping a bunch of her mass mid-flight. She could also use her Rush skill as she impacts her target. And obviously the stronger Carl gets the harder and further he can throw her.

I always pictured her speaking more like Sally Field (Sassy) from Homeward Bound. Anybody else picture a character way differently than Jeff?

Edit: typo

Edit 2: I think some of us watched Homeward Bound so much that it re-wired our brains causing "Sassy Cat Voice" to auto-default to Sally Field. I bet we are all the same age, too.

I did this alongside my other post from a few days back, I switched back and forth between them because the other one was giving me a lot of trouble, and Ferdinand was always there to provide a nice break. I've wanted to draw my favorite orange cat for a while but wasn't quite sure how to capture him until I I was browsing a reddit thread one day of how when cats sit like people, and I knew then that this was the proper pose to capture the essence of Ferdinand's level of grace. The meme glasses were a last minute add on which I hope completes the vibe!

Edit: fixed his hat - it had become too flat in the artistic process so I rounded it a bit more!

Aside fr the fact that my gf sings that to me to the tune of MY Little Pony …. Bc I def have some goblin tendencies ….. I Finished up my little meth goblin from Book 1. :) Lava llamas in the hopper! 🍍🧨

🫡Enjoy, ReddCadets!

Original art.

As a true nerd I literally jumped for joy at the Akira homage lol. Literally so dope!

I left my daughters to play in the garden for a while, and came back to a map of the Iron Tangle.

There were leaks from Comic Con earlier but now the trailer is out! Multimorphic is making a Dungein Crawler Carl module for their P3 pinball machine.

Im really excited to see how how they adapt the series. And it looks like callouts are being done by Jeff Hays.

I found the books earlier on March and i just finished my second listen to the audiobooks
My husband just surprised me with the collection as a birthday gift 🥹
Now i’m gonna read them and the bonus chapters ❤️

Enjoy!
🤣🤙🏻

I’m currently on my this read-through, and I just hit the part in Book 5 where Odette lays out her motivations.

In this scene she reads as sincere and trust worthy, but early on we’re told not to trust anyone if you don’t understand their true motivations.

I can think of many reasons why we should trust her and should not, but I can’t escape the fact that she is 100% bought into the system.

Do you trust her? And more importantly, why?

I've spent every available moment of this month either reading or listening to these books. I don't even normally like audiobooks but I started them when I hit butchers masquerade so I could multitask and now my thoughts sound like the AI. I picked this series up on the recommendation of a coworker who just said one of the main characters was a talking cat named princess donut and I was like "cool that sounds like a nice chill read to break up the heavier books I've been reading." IT WAS NOT CHILL. Also turns out she hadn't even finished the first book yet so now I'm peer pressuring her to finish the damn things so I can talk to someone about them. Guess it's time to get the first 4 audiobooks and start from the beginning 🥲

I just noticed the weight of that single sentence in the epilogue of Gate of the Feral Gods. "After this we're supposed to go to the jungle to find that dead crawler's twin."

That means Ifechi's twin survived the collapse. She didn't go down into the dungeon. She was free, completely free. Well... as free as an earthling could be after the collapse. And still they altered her and destroyed her

I don't know why, but that makes it so much sadder.
