The fun part is that he's canonically an atheist in a setting where God canonically exists

in a setting where God canonically exists

About the only way to decouple atheism from materialim lol

Well he hasn't actually met God, just the "entity calling itself Gabriel"

Huh i even went to school with a guy named Gabriel, and "entity" was actually a pretty good word to describe him.

Which one was that from? I like how he alludes to having a blessed AK of +1 in another appearance.

This is book 5, Death Masks, when he's introduced

Thanks, it’s been a while (seriously butcher release another book already).

I'm rereading the series while also listening to The Shrieking Shack and it's wild how utterly different Butcher problematic is from Rowling Problematic

Books and 2 desperately need that rewrite he keeps procrastinating on. Noir inspired isn’t an excuse for misogyny

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If he's removing misogyny the whole series needs a rewrite lol

True, but the first two are the worst. I think mirror mirror goes to a reality that has Harry go evil to save Susan which implies that the fridge moment was necessary and uhhhhh that makes it worse

He still has no sense of Chicago geography, but now has street names.

Oh got Sanya was a Trot? I stopped reading the series bc I couldn't stomach the cop shit with Karin anymore, and because it had gone in to terminal grimderp at some point with everything just getting worse and worse so late in to a mature series. Like Karin was slowly decoupling from the police, but both factors together was too much and I was sick of it.

Butcher is constantly caught between compulsive copaganda and the inherent coolness of being in trouble with the law
