"On Earth, we had this fable. Basically, the story goes if you throw a frog in a pot of boiling water, he’ll jump right out. But if you stick that same frog in the water when it’s at room temperature, he’ll just sit there. He won’t move because everything’s fine. Then you put the pot on the heat. The temperature goes up, and still the frog doesn’t jump because it’s only a degree hotter than before. Eventually, the frog dies, boiled alive. When the frog was thrown in the boiling water, he immediately knew he was in danger. But because of the incrementalism of the heat from room temperature, he didn’t realize he was in danger until it was too late.”

...

"If it used to be okay, but it’s not okay anymore, then maybe you should do something about it. Don’t compare your circumstances with how they were yesterday. Look at how they were years ago. We’re supposed to be making the world… the universe… a better place for our children. If it’s not better, if you’re dealing with cruelty, with neglect, then you should do something about it. So, yeah. Fuck ‘em."

...

"If you’re unhappy with your government, then kick them out and set up your own, one that represents the people’s best interests. You shouldn’t have to put up with some loser who’s going to take the people’s money and waste it on games, especially when those games entail killing people weaker than him with little or no real danger to himself. What a pussy."

...

"If a government is afraid of what its people say, then maybe there’s a reason for it."

-Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 2: Carl's Doomsday Scenario, Matt Dinniman

I felt compelled to share this quote. This section felt especially poignant as we see a 'world leader' trying to play (card) games with people's lives.

Fuck 'em

u/OutFold aka @derek.the.sketch.guy has been sketching out the first scenes of the book and they are EXCELLENT

Finished reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. Man.....

Bonus Donut sketch below + some rambling that I don't think is worth its own post.

Finally, after all this time my years and years of drawing warrior cats is finally coming into use. Hm, I'm still not sure how I feel about Donut in the first piece, was looking at the wiki and it turns out shes black, orange AND white. Ah well, not used to drawing Persians, but I'm statisfied with this as my first attempt. Hardest part is getting the expression. When making WC art, I tend to anthropomorphise the face for expressions, but I tried to go a bit more realistic here. Not sure if it worked well here or not. As for Carl... yes I know he's missing a tatoo or two. I'm on Donut's side here, he has way too many.

I got into Dungeon Crawler Carl, I’ve been following through each hardcover release—and the lack of shitpost fanart demands a contribution.

(Thank god DCC wasn’t written by the time Brainrot language…right?)

Dungeon Crawler Carl Tattoo Flash

[asmallvoiceinthewind]

Despite what she says about Beatrice being her person and loving her better than Carl, it is so beyond clear in all the pre-dungeon snippets that Donut always loved Carl best and knew he loved her best too. Who was she always sitting with? Whose neck did she always sleep on? What big dumbass did she allow to train her to jump up on his shoulder?

I’m crying about these two again you don’t understand they just love each other so much 😭

[asmallvoiceinthewind]

So, this seems to be the plot of every Dungeon Crawler Carl book so far. I love it.

I am by NO MEANS a professional artist, nor am I good at replicating styles, but it was such a fun idea. Luthadel is such a cool aesthetic.

i think kaladin might just be one of the best characters with depression i've ever seen, because... well, because he's depressed. he's depressed from the moment we first get his perspective, and he doesn't stop being depressed after five books worth of being the main character for over 5000 pages. there's never a point where he magically gets over it. in fact, magic pointedly can't fix him. and he has ptsd, too, which interacts with his depression and complicates how he handles his depression. he's deeply flawed, he wants to try his best, but he struggles with it so much. how many other fantasy protagonists are still having mental breakdowns four books into their arc? progress isn't linear, depression doesn't disappear, and kaladin isn't perfect. it's beautiful.
