why is this the funniest paragraph I’ve ever read #LymondChronicles #DorothyDunnett #ScottishAuthors #historicalfiction
#LymondChronicles by #DorothDunnett dovetailing nicely with a rewatch of #thegoodplace #moralphilosophy
A bit late for the #LymondChronicles
Me in my head to the sports guy at the station where I work, while I’m trying to decipher and rewrite his on-camera scripts into a readable written story for the website: 😅🫠🧐

Here is the video #LymondChronicles duck://player/uURNqaNaepQ
It’s clear why Lymond challenged Scott to a drinking contest and not a game of cards after the extended verbose visit of Jonathan Crouch. 😂😅
It’s one contest I’m not sure he’d win. 😶

Oops. Now all I can see in Vander and Silko at the bar are Richard and Lymond. 😂😅
Apologies to Lymond for the comparison. But also .... I mean... 😶

Sybilla’s guts are only eclipsed by her brain. Jonny Bollo being like “your scariest relative” to Richard is accurate. 😂😆😂

And it is over. Not the book. THAT part. 💔😭💔
Now.
Now for the best sword fight ever put to page and just — SO MUCH hurt/comfort.
Hurt/comfort for days, filled with ALL THE delicious, squishy feels. 😯🥹😭🥺☺️

It’s coming. The cataclysm is coming. 😭😭😭
If I wasn’t about to run errands and need something to listen to, I’d be hiding from my audio book again and go read more of the Attack on Titan manga. Levi watching his squad get eaten hurts less. 😭💔😭

Kate Somerville is a treasure and I adore her. That is all.

“‘No,’ said Sybilla. ‘Not a saint. An artist in the vivesection of the soul. But only because he has known the knife now for five years.’”
Lymond is an anime protagonist. 🤓
It’s just, right there.

Not nearly enough #dorothydumnett fans mourn the *other* and first death in #thegameofkings and that is a deep shame because for all his lack of “screen time” in the book, I adore that character and he needs more acknowledgement. 😭😭😭
#lymondChronicles
I love this interaction so much. 😂😆😂
Lymond being intentionally obtuse is the best Lymond.

I will never get tired of watching the explosive and expressive Mr. Scott fling himself metaphorically and verbally upon the sharp rocks of Lymond’s acidic wit. 🤭😏🙄😆
But also. Lymond is such a brat and a troll most of the time. 🙃

Richard’s Christmas side quest:
In which he starts by failing a wisdom saving throw, then rolls a Nat. 20 in his endeavor to sober the glover, and finally then ends the adventure by taking max damage from a surprise Vicious Mockery spell.

One day, if I ever manage to get this child of mine out of my brain and into a finished story — yes. He’s 100% a reference to the exquisite Don Luis de Cordoba, from The Game of Kings. 🤭😁

I will never fully forgive #dorothydunnett for killing a certain noblewoman in The Game of Kings. 😑😑😑
Never.
