Like the page but I have object to Felisin getting called an Ensemble Darkhorse as I've never heard anyone express something other than dislike for her. Also, whatever did Silchas Ruin do to be labled an Evil Albino?

Well, he's albino, and if not evil then at least rather diabolical.

I'd like to be referred to as diabolical after I die.

EDIT - but not in an Alan Hansen kind of way, I hasten to add.

I know you guys have been loving a lot of those tropes recently, but I find rather a lot of them somewhat forced.

Oh and Mezla, so you'd like to be thought of as devilish rather than someone who allowed too many hopefull balls to cause chaos in her box , fair enough.

tvtropes is great. I've been systematically going through the video game tropes. Haven't looked at the malazan page yet.

War tropes are particularly good, especially Drill Sergeant Nasty.

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

I wish I'd taken more time with this and said:

"failed to deal with big men coming into your box"

apologies to everyone, my smut levels were dminished by circumstances.

YOU ARE DOING IT POORLY

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I like Felisin (the Elder) actually.
And I'm the only person on the forum who does.
