[Villains By Necessity] Resumed my reread at church earlier (going to continue there tonight as well).
Flash Bastard
I HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT BLACKMAIL'S HOOOOOOORSE
Flash Bastard
The small detail that the bridle doesn't have a bit is just. I CANNOT
Flash Bastard
Also the godling looking at Blackmail and going 'oh THAT'S clever.' XD
Flash Bastard
I am also deeply fond of centaur biology??? Two hearts/sets of lungs and 'they're blue-green colorblind, it's just a Thing.'
Flash Bastard
(It's also a Plot Point, but it's just a Thing.)
Flash Bastard
And how much Robin's horsebrain tries to PANIC AT EVERYTHING
Flash Bastard
Two key tests down and I think I'm about to be Very Sad.
Flash Bastard
Well, he had seen the world, and now parts of it were trying to kill him. POOR ROBIN
Flash Bastard
I'M HAVING FEELINGS ABOUT A HORSE
Flash Bastard
Mizzamir: /doesn't know where his key test is
also Mizzamir: /standing right in front of it, if my memory serves
E.S. Levi
Nobody ever accused Mizzamir of being competent.
Flash Bastard
It's true. But also he only got to design teh thing, and wasn't told where it was hidden,
Flash Bastard
Doesn't make it less of an oversight on his part, if he claims to be genre-savvy.
Flash Bastard
"Does anyoe have a seven-inch piece of steel in them that doesn't belong there?" I LOVE SAM
Flash Bastard
I think I particularly love that Sam's basically bent his latent magical talent to suit him, and that's why his aim is so damn good.
Flash Bastard
Fenwick. Buddy. Pal. Forceful flirting didn't work for Sam either, and he had the good sense to apologise for it.
Flash Bastard
The Orthamoch is weirdly great for a half-reptile nightmare monster.
Flash Bastard
I love that Sam is weirded out by being healed by stolen life force.
Flash Bastard
Meanwhile, Blackmail listens to all these rumors about Sir Pryse's death and is probably laughing his ass off.
Flash Bastard
"It seems to me the dark knight knows what is going on better than any of us." WELL, I MEAN
Flash Bastard
I'm with Robin in one thing. Tell me more about the bards.
Flash Bastard
That's half the key recovered, anyway.
Flash Bastard
Book specifically notes Sam can function on two or three hours' sleep and considers five 'fully rested'... is that an assassin thing or a him thing, I wonder.
Flash Bastard
I could go either way on that. (I consider the time sense an assassin thing and his impeccable aim is definitely just him.)
Flash Bastard
SAM HONEY SURELY SOMEONE TOLD YOU AT SOME POINT NEVER TO PUT ON CURSED JEWELRY
Flash Bastard
Sam: /dim view of rapists
also Sam: /rips a guy's heart out for the attempt
Flash Bastard
HE'S A LITTLE EXTRA IS WHAT I'M SAYING
Flash Bastard
But it's personal, and somehow (we know how) rape isn't slotting under 'evil' behavior that needs correcting, so I really super don't blame him either.
Flash Bastard
I think Sam is overthinking why the shadow-travel trick worked now and never had before. His dumbass 'wear the cursed jewelry' decision probably helped overcome the barrier on the first try, yed.
Flash Bastard
*yes
Flash Bastard
But otherwise I think he just hadn't really tried to do it before, having been scared off by everyone else's superstitions.
Flash Bastard
Desperation was the tipping point more than 'idk wearing more black and being the only assassin left o the continent????'
Flash Bastard
book: your average backwater assassin
me: But we've established Sam is not that.
Flash Bastard
Sure, this won't be easy, but he is Really Not That.
Flash Bastard
Nightshade, don't help Valerie cheat at the card game. (By which I mean absolutely do. XD)
