Sci-2 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Has anyone tired to write up some Earwa related raps? At minimum, I swear something to the tune of "Prince of Bel Air" should be doable.In the heart [of] Ishual I was born and raisedUnder the shadow of the Consult I spent most of my daysYoking my Legion an' trying to stay coolLearning 'bout Logos in my Dunyain SchoolWhen my [Cishaurim] daddy, who was [up] to no goodStarting sending dreams [back] to my neighborhoodFucked with our Mission, so the Pragmas got scaredSo And I was sent to kill kick my dad Moe in the rear...that's all I got so far.

Guest Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Heh. Funny idea. I am doing a reread of The Judging Eye right now, and while I dont know if I've encountered "ever are men deceived," I've encountered a couple "ever do men..." and another "ever are men..."So maybe TJE was where we started to latch on to this trend rather than WLW? Random thought on something that may have come up in the past. So we know that The Tusk was actually given by the Consult or the Inchies at least. Was the Old Prophet Angeshrael (sp) sent by them as well or was he just some prophet who was good at interpretation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I asked in the Ch. 10 thread at the other forum, does nihilism have an inherent masculine bias? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurr Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 we were toldSorry for the questions, but which book/chapter? (For the nonman = Mekeritrig question.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 We were told by the author directly. It was never verified in the book. Bakker was actually a bit upset later that he revealed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sologdin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 he can say whatever he wants in interviews or on websites--the text must bear the reading. if it remains indeterminate in the text itself, i safely disreagrd the extrinsic commentary.

jurble Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well from the texts, we've met 3 Erratics aside from Mekeritig in the flashbacks. The one in the short story, the one in the beginning, and Cleric. The short-story Nonman and Cleric do not shout, "I WILL REMEMBER!" they're just sorta disoriented and confused all the time. We know Mekeritig is pretty memory-shouty, which would lead us to identify the beginning Nonman as possibly Mekeritig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakker was actually a bit upset later that he revealed that.Imagine if we hadn't had that reveal from Bakker. We'd have gone mad trying to figure out who he was. sologdin - It will be interesting to see if and how the connection is eventually made in a way that it can be gleaned from the text that it was actually Mek.

Sci-2 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 sologdin - It will be interesting to see if and how the connection is eventually made in a way that it can be gleaned from the text that it was actually Mek.Mek scries them or he and Kellhus meet in person. I get the feeling TUC is going to be epic.I sort of hope Esmi's arc is only a minimal part of the last book. It's the weakest arc by a mile, and whatever feminist-to-Bakker-at-least message is left to be squeezed from that stone can hopefully be wrapped up ASAP so we can have more actual story.
