Do y'all have done any fancasting regarding this series? I've stumbled across a few on Tumblr.

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

This is like the fourth time I've brought it up, but Felix Riebl as Harry.

Will Smith as Harry.

Michael Fassbender as Thomas.

Jim Caviezel as Michael.

Those are the three I'm sure of.

I would suffer through Will Smith as Harry if Samuel L Jackson got to play Michael.

Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.

You mean "father-loving"

....

...Okay, maybe that's a bad joke.

In the other hand, if a black actor playing Michael, I'll ask Michael Clarke Duncan instead (RIP, man). I'll reserve Samuel for someone like Odin, or maybe Erlking.

And for Sanya, Djimon Hounsou.

If Sam Jackson got Odin he'd basically be playing Nick Fury again :P

Some people didn't like the book and Butcher in general, a Harry RP account wants to, ahem, butcher the bad review.

Someone has said that Chichen Itza site is now basically unexploded atomic bomb, isn't it?

Yes, Ebenezer is powerful, but he's only one wizard, with a single known bloodline. Except if he was... very active in his younger years, or has many siblings and cousins and whatsnot, but even then, the curse can only reach... how much, 1,000,000 people? When Harry pull the curse, he makes Red Court, with estimatedly numbers in millions, not counting all half-breeds (which got curse at much reduced effect), extinct. And it still leaving goddamned magical nuke on Chichen Itza. WHY IN THE NAMES OF EVERYTHING'S HOLY THAT RED COURT NEED THAT FREAKIN MUCH MAGIC?!?!?!

#14719: May 10th 2015 at 11:39:46 AM

The magic nuke isn't on Chichen Itza because of the bloodline curse.

It's there because in a matter of a few, violent minutes, Harry and company managed to kill 13 god-tier beings and anyone that power could have passed on to.

In other words, the powers of the Red King and the Lords of Outer Night are in Chichen Itza's ley-line now because they have nowhere else to go.

Oh.

Another questions:

  • Can it be, well, disarmed? And which... Company has abilities to disarm it, and Company who had motivation to do so?
  • The Red Court Nobles call themselves Lords of The Outer Nights. When came to it, it reminds me to... well, Outsiders. Did they had some, historical or metaphysical connection with Outsiders? Or they just took cool name without thinking?

#14721: May 10th 2015 at 11:50:16 AM

It can't be disarmed because it isn't really armed.

However, anyone with sufficient magical know-how could take control of Chichen Itza and harness all that power for their own ends.

Okay.

So, big huge Power there, maybe leaking into surrounding, but basically inert as long as anyone didn't muck around with the Detonator.

Do my assessment right?

Does the PP say anything about containment or at least someone ensuring that some random asshole doesn't pop in and become a god or something?

Well, the White Council is on the scene trying to lock down the area.

But what's mostly keeping everyone in check is the fact that a ton of factions want in. Right now, the Fellowship of St. Giles (at least the ones who survived their de-vampification) are trying to support the Council in locking it down, but besides the Council you've got an ancient sorcerer, a cabal of old gods that the Lords of Outer Night originally got their power from, some Wyldfae.

Oh, and a secret compartment of the Church that feels like the Ordo Malleus didn't go too far. They're less Michael Carpenter, more 'burn the wizards along with the rest and let God sort them out.'
