Reading Tales of the Sun Eater and there is a story of a Chantry Praetor and she mentioned how the Chera has the face of a woman and the body of a man. That reminded of when Hadrian was on March Station and was appalled that people there changed their gender. I might misremember, was it just the way the people do it there? Homosexuality is tolerated, we saw that, but we haven’t seen a single transgender person

Was Nicephorus needed for Hadrian to access the Palatine genomes or was that just in case Hadrian died? He was a failsafe and I might remember it falsely but when Nicephorus was killed it seemed to me like Hadrian thought the Palatines are doomed now, but maybe he only meant that Alexander had no way to access it now, or maybe because he wasn’t sure he was gonna live again. Basically if Hadrian came back would he still be in control of the Palatines Genome?

Warlock if you think about it, I didn’t expected this series to become so supernatural, like even when Hadrian got visions and got told the future I assumed it was some kind of technology and then he straight up died and later was gifted an ability to choose from and untold number of possibilities by God and became a Warlock. This series is so fucking funny man, I love it

Can a Radiant who bonded two Sprens have a twice as strong Shardplate? When Sunlit Man first came out many believed Sigzil had sworn the 4th Windrunner Ideal, because the scene in which he used his Shardplate there were two kinds of Spren described, which led many to believe he had sworn both the 4th Windrunner and Skybreaker Ideal at some point. Now we know that wasn’t the case, but what if it was? Would it just be able to replace one part of the armor with another kind of spren when that part got shattered or would the armor fuse both kinds of Spren and get twice as strong?

I know it happened when he confronted Luther on Caliban and I always thought it happened during the Heresy but apparently I was wrong and it happened after the Siege of Terra, so did it happen immediately afterwards in the Scouring?

So how about we all talk about what we particularly liked. I’ll start:

I love how inclusive the books have gotten over the year and how many diverse characters we have now

Edit: why is this getting downvoted? Did I say something wrong?

Talking about people who hate her for not helping Nico when he was alone and was influenced by Minos (I think that’s how it is spelled)

Edit: not even talking about her joining the Hunters or anything, like there are people who genuinely think she should’ve somehow took care of Nico when she was dead

Basically I feel like a lot of people in the fandom don’t understand that just because you dislike a decision the author made, it doesn’t mean it’s badly written. Doesn’t mean the decision isn’t stupid, but just say that instead of arguing that it’s badly written with no legitimate Reasons.

I’ve seen people who dislike something, as an example the way Leo is acting in the books (his jokes etc.) and say he’s a bad character, while they actually just do not like the way he was written, not how well he was written. They just don’t like what his character entails, ignoring that it is very well established why he is the way he is and why he does and feels certain things. Another example is people disliking how clingy Percy and Annabeth are in HoO. Again it’s understandable to not like it, but the way they are written it makes sense why they’d act that way, especially in Tartarus and afterwards. Annabeth was worried sick for months, Percy lost his memories and months of his life and only remembered Annabeth, like that was his only connection to his old life. Just because you dislike something doesn’t make it badly written.

And just to clarify, there is no objectively good or badly written, it all depends on what you consider good or bad in a story, but I’m not talking about people with legitimate reasons to think something is badly written, I’m specifically talking about people who call everything they do not like badly written. It really doesn’t help when people can’t discuss characters with you, because they refuse to actually acknowledge the writing and talk about what they like and dislike about it.

I hope you can understand what I’m trying to convey, sometimes I think I wrote something understandably and later it turns out I phrased it horribly wrong

EDIT: Let me add to this, there is bad writing, I’m not denying it, but some people call something badly written just because they dislike it and not because it is badly written and I also want to add to that, that I only mean people who have no reason other than not liking what was written or preferring that something else would have happened and call it bad writing because of that and give no actual reason considering the writing itself

Also you are not meant if you have any argument on why you think something is baldy written. Even if you don’t you can simply dislike something, I just get annoyed when people act all pretentious with how bad something is written with no reason other than having other wishes

What the title says, I had a very good guide for Hades 1 which helped me a lot with it and I know there are hints to how to unlock them in Hades 2, but sometimes I’m still completely confused as to what exactly I have to do
