He's implied to have been a sexpest to the moneylender too, but we don't know anything specific about it. This detail is introduced solely as an excuse to get her to help Kvothe again even though Kvothe flipped out and tried to kill her for no reason a chapter beforehand.

My favorite part will always be Kvothe deciding to murder a bunch of people for shoplifting an ale but it's okay because later he discovers they're rapists. My second-favorite part is him avoiding being killed by a succubus by being so good at doing the sex that she refuses to believe he's a virgin. My third-favorite part is him deciding one morning to not be a street urchin anymore and bootstrapping himself out of it in the span of half an hour. My fourth-favorite part is the great offscreen pirate adventure forcing him to discard his inventory like it's the start of a new Metroid sequel. My fifth-favorite part is the complete text of the Slow Regard of Silent Things.

The inquisition's proximity to the magic school represents Rothfuss's experiences going to a liberal university in the bible belt. The super rich neighboring country where they don't ever use magic represents Rothfuss's experiences visiting Germany, where the locals despise electricity. The Fae realm represents Canada, where Rothfuss's super hot girlfriend is.

pseudanonymous posted:I work at a charitable organization. I am the controller. I prepare the 990. I communicate with our granters. I also communicate with our sub-grantees. Worldbuilders is a joke. They claim that they do not report the funds they raise that are passed on to HI. This is to avoid revealing how small those funds are. If there was a local restaurant that gave 10% of their gross receipts to charity, people would say “wow, what a nice, altruistic thing to do. I want to support that company.” They wouldn’t be saying “you used 90% of your money to pay your employees and your bills, you capitalist pig.” Some people might be upset at the nonprofit form that Worldbuilders took. “They should be a S Corp or a partnership” for “reasons,” they might say. But why? It doesn’t have profits. It should be organized as a nonprofit, it’s the only corporate form that makes sense. Some people might be upset at the branding. “It’s not really a charity,” they might say. But you get to buy cool stuff and you get to do it in a way that some of your money goes to people that need it. Just because it’s not wholly altruistic doesn’t mean it’s evil. Not every nonprofit can be the Red Cross or UNICEF. And if you still don’t like it, then...don’t buy stuff. You have agency. I think people that pick battles with Worldbuilders need to pick different battles. Or better yet, don’t pick any battles. Just don’t battle. What would you prefer WB to do? Just sell the stuff for profit? Or not exist at all? Or something else? WB doesn’t try to pass itself off as anything else than what it is. So what do you want them to do differently? reddit is dumb

Rime posted:Wasn't the thread consensus on this scene that it was written before the rest of the novel and hamfistedly reinserted afterwards, because the characterization is completely at odds with the rest of the writing? You're thinking of the time Kvothe killed the bandits (who were disguised as Edema Ruh but Kvothe could tell they were fakes and child sex traffickers because they shoplifted a beer), Terror Sweat is talking about the time Kvothe killed the bandits (who were robbing tax collectors and were later retroactively mentioned to be lead by a Chandrian for no particular reason).

The one thing I remember particularly finding interesting at the time were the snippets of stories we get about what happened in the distant past. The implication seemed to be that the arrested storyteller's story about Lanre, the fantasy-bible's story of the life of fantasy-Jesus, the children's fairy tale about the boy who fell in love with the moon and stole it, etc were all meant to be retellings of the same historical event, but viewed through very different lenses and corrupted over time in different ways and with different degrees of literal-historicalness-versus-adaptation. If that had been done well, I could see myself getting really into the piecing the truth together from several contradictory narratives with various levels of distortion. But there's only a few of those to work with, and there's no actual worldbuilding on which to base any theories or interpretations of them beyond "Skarpi's version is the literal truth and Kvothe was right to call Denna a stupid whore for writing a song where Lanre's not pure evil", and that's only like ten pages out of two thousand, and Rothfuss has no actual idea how myths and stories evolve over time to do it right.

Kchama posted:This is the same Rothfuss who came up with that stupid-rear end pointless money-making scheme for Kvothe that I'd probably get a headache trying to explain because while it is dumb and simple it doesn't really make any sense why he even needs to do it. That scheme makes absolutely no sense. The setup: 1) Uncle Mayor has agreed to remotely pay Kvothe's tuition every semester. 2) Your tuition goes up if you fail your exams. 3) Kvothe wants to steal from Uncle Mayor because Kvothe is a dick. Kvothe's agreement with the school bursar: 4) Kvothe will intentionally fail his exams to drive up his own tuition (and thus the amount Uncle Mayor pays). 5) In exchange, the bursar will secretly kickback to Kvothe some of the excess tuition that wouldn't have otherwise be paid. Which... doesn't actually make any sense. This means the university's coffers are actually receiving less money than they expect to from Kvothe's tuition. Won't the discrepancy be noticed? And if the discrepancy won't be noticed, why does the bursar need to involve Kvothe at all? Why can't the bursar put his fingers in the till without caring what some snot-nosed undergrad's tuition is? Why would Kvothe expect the bursar to agree to this? The only way this scheme makes sense to me is if the bursar has an absolutely fanatical devolution to the college's profits and wants to maximize those above all else, and is willing to outright steal from the college if it results in the college netting a few more silver sickles than it would otherwise have had. This... does not seem likely to me. A plan that would have actually made some sense would have been for Kvothe to do well on his exams, but to arrange for the bursar to charge Uncle Mayor as if Kvothe had failed his exams, with Kvothe and the bursar splitting the extra. The university won't notice any discrepancies because it's still receiving as much money as it expects to based on Kvothe's tuition, and Uncle Mayor isn't likely to notice because he lives a very long journey away and the student is in on the scheme and won't tip him off. It would be a bit risky if anyone ever compared Uncle Mayor's books with the University's internal books, but it would theoretically be doable, and would be something the bursar couldn't do without a student's cooperation. But that wouldn't involve Kvothe doing well by doing poorly, which is clever and subversive and shows how smart the hero and the author and the readers are and also lets him totally dunk on Professor Snape by getting his exam questions wrong, so Rothfuss went with the nonsensical plan instead.

Kchama posted:A lot of the people Kvothe scams are people who are on his side. My favorite example of this is when Kvothe's current D&D party, who he's become close friends with, loot the stolen taxes from the bandits. He suggests they each take a coin from the taxes for themselves... and then secretly takes six more coins for himself, effectively robbing his "friends" of more than half their share of the spoils. He has a steady gig with the richest man in the world at that point, there's literally no reason to rob his friends except he's a complete rear end in a top hat. (but remember, the real true Edema Ruh like Kvothe would never ever steal) Kchama posted:Also that entire side trip, and thus literally all of book 2, was a quest to pay his student tuition, which is why he was exiled for a semester and then was exiled back to school when his first exile was up. Strictly speaking his exile was because he'd just had a high-profile trial by the inquisitors for Doing Magicks Wickedly (which Rothfuss skipped over writing), and the professors "suggested" he take a leave of absence to give people a few months to forget so Wizard College and the Witch-Hunting Inqusition could go back to inexplicably forgetting each other's existence. ...but also yes it was for tuition. Kchama posted:This is also why the pirate adventure was skipped, because it didn't have anything to do with him paying his tuition. Kvothe just didn't want to admit that he escaped from the pirates by admitting he was an orphan.

Completely off-topic and no idea why it made me think of this thread, but did anyone else see the Sandman episode about the misogynist author who insist he's a feminist, became famous for writing one book years ago, claims he's almost finished the next book when he hasn't actually written a single page, and will do anything short of actually writing to maintain his superstar author status?

Atlas Hugged posted:I don't think it's necessarily grammatically incorrect but boy is it clunky as gently caress. It's both. It's grammatically incorrect because the "While it seems [...], but [...]" construction it uses is wrong; it should have either the "while" or the "but", not both. It's clunky because it not only fucks that up but also nests a second "while" inside the first one.

Evil Fluffy posted:IIRC, Rothfuss preemptively defended that book with some "if you don't think this is good it's clearly not for you The preface or forward of the book is Rothfuss smugly telling the reader that maybe you just won't "get it" in which case it's "not for you". The book itself consists almost entirely of Auri wandering around in some tunnels while the narration attaches random emotions, mad libs-style, to random objects. So I would recommend the book if and only if you're really eager for a hundred pages of not a real quote posted:Auri stepped through the penitent doorway, into the chamber beyond. Having walked these corridors a hundred times before, she knew how to navigate even in the brazen darkness. Reaching out her left arm, she grasped hold of the tumultuous pipe jutting out of the wall. Running her fingers along the pipe, she allowed its winding path to lead her through the gregarious chamber, guided by the pipe's twists and turns until it made an abrupt turn straight upward and ascended through a thoughtful hole in the ceiling. Having expected this, Auri released the pipe and strode straight ahead, knowing she would soon reach the canny portcullis that would lead her to the jubilant basement of the smug refinery. The refinery was very smug, permeated with a kind of smugness that oozed smugly from its very smugitude, but Auri was used to its smugness and accustomed to appeasing it.

Slapping "this book might be not for you" warnings on everything like he's Lemony Snicket. "If you are interested in stories with endings, you would be better off reading some other book. In this book, not only is there no ending, there is hardly any beginning and very few things happen in the middle. This is because not very many interesting things happened in the life of the one Edema Ruh orphan. Kvothe was an intelligent child, and he was charming, and resourceful, and had pleasant facial features, and was absolutely not a virgin, please don't put in the newspaper that he was a virgin, but he was extremely tedious, and most everything that happened to him was rife with self-aggrandizement, aimless meandering, and student loan bills. I’m sorry to tell you this, but that is how the story goes."

I think before his years as a street orphan in the city, Kvothe is wandering aimlessly in the woods for months after his parents are killed, surviving on ??? as he meanders in a fugue state playing his lute. One of his lute strings breaks, so he spends months playing it with one broken string and compensates. I think he goes to the city when another string breaks and it becomes too hard even for him. Good thing Kvothe happened by chance to have trained for this exact scenario and that Malfoy happened by chance to have snapped the one string Kvothe had learned to play without.

I remember when I first read his paragraph-long list of boasts which include "I spent the night with Felurian and lived to tell the tale," I assumed the Felurian was the name of a very spooky haunted house and everyone who spends the night in it either dies mysteriously or emerges driven mad by untold horrors. And Kvothe survived because he was able to overcome the monster, resist the curse, and solve the mystery. Instead it's a sex fairy and he survives by being the best virgin at sex.
