I mostly agree, except that whole super-long "I'm learning to be a fuckgod from the sex nymph" sequence was really, REALLY cringeworthy.

I think I understand why it's in the book now, though.

(Fakeedit: A friend of mine met him at a party and said he was super nice, really social, and not at all awkward or gross in person.)

I haven't been to that site in years so I wondered if he was still married to that woman who was his mom's age, and their wedding details are still up so either they are or the site hasn't been updated in years.

I've seen him and his wife around Tampa and St. Petersburg, usually at artsy local events. They're pretty nice.

I've come across this before and everyone into this 'hobby' is either horrifically creepy or crushingly sad. The ones who just collect and care for borderline lifelike infants are easy enough to explain with a DSM and enough time. My first reaction was that it's all simply weirdos, but the reborn dolls are also popular with women who had miscarriages and aren't ready again or can't practically have children of their own or what have you. Whenever you read about the dolls you get tons of awkward tales of obsession punctuated by depressing dead baby stories. The worst part is that there are of course the well-intentioned sad women whose coping mechanisms slowly turn into a relationship-destroying collection of uncanny valley babies. Forever lost to the awkward.

That kind of question is, of course, entirely hypothetical, since a kid wearing that outfit would almost certainly be home-schooled in the most isolated way possible, and thus never come into contact with bullies.

If I had to guess though, I'd say the Shield of Faith would do okay for a few hits, until the bully got wise and equipped himself with the Tree Branch of Seriously, Come On.

If this existed in the late 70's, I bet you my mother would had been one of them. My oldest sister was born dead, and was the most soul crushing experience for my mother (and the trigger for a lot of psychological problems later on her life), to this day I know she is still traumatized by the event. Actually, every woman I've known are always on the verge of tears when they talk about their miscarriages :( So, I'm split between creeping out and feeling sad for the owners of these dolls.

You mean the books where his blatant self-insert is so good at sex that he goes into the realm of the sex fairy (who sexes men so good that it turns them insane) and, despite being a virgin, beats her at sex? Then travels to the realm of the autistic sex samurai and learns their sexy secrets?

Also, when the author main character finds out the girl he's been SUCH A NICE GUY to is having the poo poo beaten out of her by her current partner, he shrugs and goes "that's what she gets for going off with a JERK JOCK" and goes back to being the best at sex in the whole world? Everything in those books is about how Rothfuss Kvothe is such a Nice Guy and totally the best at everything especially the best at being humble but even better at sex.

Somebody mentioned reading the books in the voice of Zapp Brannigan for an instant increase in quality, and it works amazingly.

You can feel both those things.
An acquaintance of my wife has had a dozen miscarriages. They adopted a 2 year old last year.

She has, like, 25 different pinterest boards, which are categories that you "pin" things to. She has 2 or 3 miscarriage boards, that she still updates and shares and whatever. She doesn't have one for her daughter. It's bizarre.
