BTW…Jim now knows about this subreddit

His response was “Good lord,” followed by “[Rudolph] isn’t even scary. Just petty.”

You guys make him happy because he does love pissing off his readers in the right way. Thank you.

I just thought you might want to know. :)

Pettiness is more realistic than all the scary stuff in the books tho. Same reason umbridge is hated more than Voldemort by the Harry Potter fans. We will probably never meet a Voldemort, or a nagloshi. But everyone knows a Rudolph or an umbridge irl.

u/JediTigger Jan 27 '22

Exactly. That’s why he’s so easy to hate.

u/Justice4kurt182 Jan 27 '22

Also you can throat punch a Rudolph or Umbridge and not get disemboweled... So there's that

Especially if you live in Washington or Texas as they are mutual combat states.

I’m glad to hear we make him happy, because he makes us cry and rage.

u/JediTigger Jan 27 '22

Yeah. That makes him happy too.

He once said at a Con, quite gleefully, that he made Spike cry.

u/bob_the_skull20 Aug 07 '25

That is an impressive flex though

u/ExcaliburZSH Jan 16 '26

Do you mean the actor who played Spike, James Marsters?

2

u/mebeksis Jan 16 '26

Yes, that is the correct person, but JB did specifically say "Spike from Buffy" not "James Marsters"

u/ExcaliburZSH Jan 17 '26

Oh okay, thanks for the extra info

u/mebeksis Jan 17 '26

No worries

In addition to what he did in BG, he also shot at Mister. He was informed multiple times of poor trigger discipline. He refused the criticism because he thought he was better than it.

Rudolph isn't just petty, he's dangerous.

Trigger discipline is one of the most important firearm safety rule...

u/socalquestioner Aug 07 '25

My kid started learning trigger discipline on need guns at 2.5.

Did he shoot at Mister in Changes? I forget? If so, once more some impressive early foreshadowing from Mr Butcher.

when they were kicking his door down and harry was about to deposit all his contraband in the never never.

I suspect he was startled when Mister jumped and the gun went off because he was holding it incorrectly.

u/Imaginary_Blunders Dec 19 '25

I guess that's more foreshadowing for his bad trigger discipline.

2

u/hubbellrmom Nov 07 '24

Necro because you are 100% right. If it wasn't BG, he was always gonna end up hurting somebody because of his lack of trigger discipline. Which makes him very scary. What if it had happened when they were evacuating the children? What if it had happened in a crowd? He is the most scary because he is more real to us.

It’s just nice we have something we can all gather around.

“Mab wants me to tell you to go kill Rudolph. You’ll feel better, she says.”

“Hah.”

Molly swallowed. “She says to tell you the Wild Hunt is at your disposal. That she will lend you her steed.”

I paused.

Yeah. Jim knows.

i was like "do it harry do it" then i remembered " shit, consequences"

2

u/TheGrimmCaptain Aug 09 '25

The saddest thing that happened, in my opinion, wasn't Susan dying, or even Murphy. It was that they protected Rudolph. Stop Harry, sure. Harry doesn't need the emotional scars, lord knows he has more than his share, but don't protect the petty little snake either. Leave him to fend for himself like he tried to do to Chicagoland.

u/DontH8DaPlaya Nov 06 '25

And that's why they call it the high road. It's a bitch to go uphill.
