The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence

[swiftamorato]

So, I told Cal I'd write a summary of the book as soon as I finished it. And I STAY TRUE TO MY WORD. Kinda. I still have to summarize Loki's part of the book. But in the meantime...

What.

Just. What. Why is Mother Earth Russian? Also, didn't Thiede, Iunno, DIE at the end of the third book? I could've sworn I remembered cheering at that.

I...almost responded to this with "Dear Storm Constantine: I hereby challenge you to a KUNG FU BATTLE..." I am so, sd crazy today.

[swiftamorato]

No, no. Thiede DIDN'T DIE. Thiede is INTERESTING.

He showed up again in Shades and trained Cal in [another dimension], there Cal acquired the [teleportation] ability and got the [Sword_of_light] item.

I laughed out loud at KUNG FU BATTLE.

I seriously need to finish this thing, I forgot to mention that Mother Russia explained the Wraeththu origins to Darq.

PS: Divozenky were Earth spirits according to slavic mythology... google said so.

...goddammit. Why didn't he stay dead like a good manipulative asshole?

ALSO can no longer resist.

Dear Storm Constantine,

I hereby challenge you to a KUNG FU BATTLE, that I might prove your writing skills inferior in the eyes of the Martial World.

My magnificent Literature-Asserting Pen Style has never been defeated.

If you are not a shameless hack, fit only to scrabble a living from the dreams of the most foolish of pseudo-Wiccans and slash-fans, I shall eagerly await your prompt reply.

Honorable regards,
Francescu

(I have been doing these ALL DAY in the emo-meme, except that I challenge people's emo. I am completely, hopelessly mad today.)

...she what. Yes, finish it, so I can boggle.

PS. Why didn't I know that? I should have. =\

[swiftamorato]

I love you despite your SEETHING HATE for my canon. (THE FIRST THREE BOOKS ARE GOOD. RLY.)

(HAHAHA I need to see that. And madness is good.)

I'M ON IT. IT'S A BIG BOOK.

PS. My google-fu is stronger than yours... and I was dying to know if there was any particular reason for Mother Earth to be Russian.

COSMIC BATTLE GO

[swiftamorato]

I'M ALMOST DONE, RLY.

I realized halfway through that it didn't make sense and I wasn't sure if it was supposed to not make sense.

[fingeroflife]

Just read the update.

...in the midst of all the foaming rampant WTFery, there is a tiny shining point that makes sense! Wraeththu being a created-race explains a crapload of stuff that was making my head explode when I assumed they were a natural mutation like their entire biology but it makes a lot of sense for a species designed to subsume and replace humanity. They're like a bioweapon, only with more badly-written sex!

This still doesn't explain or excuse the aliens, Mother Russia or uterus travel, but it makes me feel slightly better.

[swiftamorato]

God, I love you. This made me laugh out loud.

We need to use this. Somewhere. Somehow. I WILL IT.
