If your biggest fear about the zombie apocalypse is the after math I recommend you watch some Townsends or bush craft survival videos. it gets a lot less scary if you know how to survive it and on that track maybe watch some weapon testing videos so you get a better understanding on how to fight back since every thing is less scary if you know how to kill it. (my personal favorite way to survive is live up north on a mountain. 🏔 the zombies would likely freeze solid since there already dead then at that time you scavenge for supplies and with a bat break any zombie popsicles you find along the way).
I watched Shadow and Bone the day it came out and I was sad that I would have to wait for people to catch up but Red talking about it made me so freaking happy.
Locking Orpheus up for refusing to sing – seems a bit much till you remember the whole 'nothing would let him die because it meant they'd never get to hear him sing'
The novel was her first published book, and you can tell that it was, the author knows this, and anyone who read subsequent books knows this, because the writing becomes notably better with every book. And it was written in 2012 – it plays into a lot of tropes and stereotypes. The real-world racism they brought in was, I have to agree, quite a bit weird to watch. They are two countries that are, actively, at war, it makes sense for animosity to exist. But in the books… The main character is not of mixed race, she's white, and so nobody really treats her badly bc of her looks-at least not in a racist way.
So like…. It wouldn't be nonsensical for someone from a border town to be mixed, right? And they wanted to include a more diverse cast, so that's how they handled it. There is racism in the books, but usually it IS bad guys (well, mostly) bc people largely don't really care, it's more a matter of country than skin. But that's not how it translates to viewers. And in the books it doesn't really… Work that way either? People are identified by their looks, yes, but it's usually only a problem if you have a problem with their country. Like, will a shu not be welcome in Ravka bc they are actively at war? Yes. Will they also not be welcome in Ketterdam? Unlikely, bc Ketterdam is a trade city, and not at war with the shu – but the dicey trading that they do, with the shu trying to pay off debt with basically fake-money, that's a problem, bc trade and commerce are basically a/the religion in Ketterdam.
And there is a lot of terminology that will leave new people pretty confused, they don't have a handy list of all types of grisha to look at like they are at the start of each book, or a map to flip over to for orientation. A lot of one-liners don't make sense bc they're a bit out of context, but readers will rave bc we KNOW why they are significant.
And the plot lines feel unconnected because they are from two different series, they're not even MEANT to be connected – they're supposed to be set-up to bring these characters to the point they are at in the books – but the six of crows came After the original trilogy, as books and in-universe.
I'd say – for readers, it's a pretty good adaption,but for newcomers…. Eh, mixed results.
The war on the surface can’t possibly be WW1 the gods make numerous references to how the adamant rail hasn’t been recreated by mortals yet. It’s the gun weapon.
My personal opinion is that time works in a less linear way to immortals and gods than it does to mortals and that the time on the surface could be literally at any point in the entire history of Ancient Greece.
Hello, Red and Blue
If your biggest fear about the zombie apocalypse is the after math I recommend you watch some Townsends or bush craft survival videos. it gets a lot less scary if you know how to survive it and on that track maybe watch some weapon testing videos so you get a better understanding on how to fight back since every thing is less scary if you know how to kill it.

Of course I miss the stream because I’m busy playing hades
First one to say first
Cerberus’ keepsake gives you an extra 50 hp at 3 stars, which makes the Chaos gates way more affordable.
it was 33 minutes ago……
AHHAHHHHH I was so close
Nooooooooooooo! I missed it!
I need Blue to get the keepsake cabinet. I NEED it.
Damn these characters be lookin hot tho-
Huh, I thought y'all would have been further into the game! Guess I can watch streams without fearing spoilers, that's lovely 🙂
I can’t wait until they talk to Orpheus more…
Red’s gonna have a real laugh
It’s been 84 years….
I watched Shadow and Bone the day it came out and I was sad that I would have to wait for people to catch up but Red talking about it made me so freaking happy.
Zagreus is a himbo
Source: I have over 300 hours in the game
Just escaped for the first time earlier tonight, can't wait to see more Hades from OSP!

Can’t wait for the osp animated hades
Bone Hydra… looked like Hungry, Hungry Hippos :).

You HAVE to start at 0:00?
During elysium I swear to god I hear the bunnings theme in the music
I’ve been watching Leverage too, still haven’t learnt how to spell it
For anyone who's confused by of Shadow and Bone:

It brings me immense joy to hear that Red likes the Crow Gang
