So, end of Day One for Watership Down. Eight Chapters in, we've left our hone Warren and crossed a river. Not too much actually going on this early on, but I don't have the time to read much more. That said, a few notes.

First, I'm a polite sucker for constructed languages. Even just the few scattered words of Lapine give the reader some interesting insight into rabbit culture. This is, I would say, best exemplified by the remarkable passage where Dandelion tells the story of El-ahrairah's blessing given by Frith. Richard Adams' influences here are quite clear, and given how his introduction in my edition spells these out anyway, I won't dwell too much on it. That said, it's a simple passage, but adds a mythic element to the text. I'm curious what parallels will be drawn between our rabbits' journey and the adventures of the Prince with a Thousand Enemies. Also, amusing, Adams, naming one of your characters Fiver and then telling me in a footnote that rabbits don't count past four and that basically Fiver's name is technically incorrect because it's all basically a thousand after that.

I'm no doubt also expected to have flashed on Fiver's name being Hrairoo (little thousand), which contains the same root as El-ahrairah (Prince with a Thousand Enemies). As I have arguably no knowledge about this book, in terms of its themes or its overall story, I cannot be certain what to expect, but I'm definitely expecting my little runt to develop further into a fearsome rabbit, to complete the parallel.

I adore the prose here. So much time is spent lovingly describing the landscape, the plants, the wildlife. There's a very passionate love for this simple wild country that's not too verbose that it becomes tedious, but more vibrant than is strictly necessary. It feels naturally pleasant, and you can easily imagine this story being read aloud to his children. We are dealing with a mature voice that feels like it wants the reader to read this story to someone younger (perhaps in a Princess Bride sort of way).

While not much has happened, I can tell reading further will not feel too tedious, which is a pleasure I seem reluctant to give myself these days. I'm content.

what the hell was that ending to fakes

I have known about Bonehilda for 10 minutes or less but if anything happened to her I would kill everyone in this room and then myself

You never say what you’re really thinking.

[watchingwisteria]

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

What if Mike got the bad ending of the FNAF movie..

[canisalbus]

I love the duo, both the historical setting and modern AU. Does Vasco ever go to confession while Machete is running it, just to 'confess' to something they did before as a way to tease?

[pangur-and-grim]

look at that transformation! well done, Belphie, you’ve defeated death!

[starmocha]

He's making dinner for both of us instead of dining out?

He's only mildly annoyed that we playfully poked him in the side? (Also MC feels comfortable enough to do it in the first place)

He's let us cover him in cutesy childish band-aids five times before stopping the sixth attempt?

Man is soft for us. He is giving "if anything happens to her, I will kill everyone in this room and then myself" vibe.

I'm in love.

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw or a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

Mama Bat

There was a baby in the Batcave.

There was a baby in the Batcave.

There was a glowing, white haired, Lazarus green eyed baby floating in the freaking Batcave!

A baby that was currently wearing a superhero themed footy pajamas and making tiny circles in the air as they coo and make spit bubbles.

A baby Cass had found while on patrol... in Hong Kong before suddenly and somehow appearing in Gotham. In the Batcave.

Along with them, sitting innocently on the batcomputer chair was a baby bag (themed after Black Bat somehow) full of everything a baby needed a glowing green sticky note with purple handwriting on it.

'Cassandra Cain-Wayne

Take care of our little Ghostling. Everything will make sense in due time.

P.S Daniel enjoys the stars.

By the time Bruce finished reading the note aloud, Cass had manged to get a hold of the baby who was making happy noises and patting her cheek.

And a second later a blinding light overtook the baby and once the light was gone, the baby now had black hair and bright blue eyes.
