Posting a a little today but really like the whole bit the boys have over calling Vesemir old. They all just collectively agree “old man old man”

It’s even funnier when notw makes vesemir only 70, or really 60 something years older than them since they’re around 4-8 age group. And he only looks like he’s in his 20s-early thirties. I’m sure Lambert started it. One day he just asks “why are you so old?” And Vesemir is left shocked. He’s not that old!!! But then when they get back to Kaer Morhen and the boys are a bit older Geralt finally gets to ask all his questions about Kaer Morhen he couldn’t ask before.

“How old is Kaer Morhen?”

“I don’t know Geralt. Old.”

“Are you older than Kaer Morhen or as old?”

Vesemir throws his boots at him. Then that’s when the whole “*insert item* is almost as old as Vesemir!”

HE HATES IT.

When Ciri finally joins them, Lambert immediately teaches her the bit. She is RUTHLESS with her insults. Vesemir is giving her a history lesson in the courtyard since it’s nice out. The boys are fixing one of the walls in the background. He’s telling her about a war that happened around 600 years ago.

“Do you remember what it was like in that time? Since you were there?” Vesemir wants to crawl into a hole and die in it. The boys are basically toppled over in laughter. Lambert starts choking from laughing too hard. Ciri seems extremely pleased with herself.

It starts evolving further into “oh you wanna know about the conjunction of spheres? Oh I dunno, ask Vesemir he was there since before the conjunction.” And “what was it like when dinosaurs were alive, Vesemir?”

AND IT SOMEHOW SPREADS. He’s in a growing town in southern Redania with Geralt and they run into Jaskier. Now he’s never had the fortune of meeting him, but he’s heard plenty. He’s about to thank the poet for looking after Geralt until Jaskier goes “so I’ve heard you’re quite old! Tell me Master Vesemir, what was it like when kingdoms started to form? How did the royal families come to be in power?”

Vesemir is SEETHING. Geralt just smiles like the little shit he is.

When Patrick Rothfuss said “In autumn everything is tired and ready to die” bro I think that’s just called seasonal depression

Listened to News of the World all the way through for its birthday (🎂) so here's my off-the-cuff subjective ranking

"Spread Your Wings"

"Who Needs You"

"Sheer Heart Attack"

"It's Late"

"We Will Rock You"

"Fight From the Inside"

"All Dead, All Dead"

"Get Down, Make Love"

"We Are the Champions" *

"Sleeping on the Sidewalk"

"My Melancholy Blues"

* obviously "We Are the Champions" is iconic but it's not one I ever want to listen to

Auri: “She knew the true shape of the world. All else was shadow and the sound of distant drums.”

Elodin: "Using words to talk of words is like using a pencilto draw a picture of itself, on itself. Impossible. Confusing. Frustrating. But there are other ways to understanding. Look! Blue! Blue! Blue!"

“‘Things are too full of life in the spring months. In the summer, they’re too strong and won’t let go. Autumn…’” He looked around at the changing leaves on the trees. “‘Autumn’s the time. In autumn everything is tired and ready to die.’”

IS IT FINALLY FUCKING HAPPENING?!?!?

Amazing insight from u/rehata on Reddit in r/books

Not mine just sharing

[image ID: a screengrab of the first paragraph of this post from r/books]

The Kingkiller Chroniclers is a fantasy trilogy written by Patrick Rothfuss. When the second book was released to critical acclaim, it was heralded as the next great fantasy series. Rothfuss, now the darling of DAW Publishing, signed a contract for another 3 books, and quipping "I have tricked you all into reading a million word prologue", hinting at a vast, layered world with much more to come. Fans of new and old began to wait eagerly for book three, the conclusion of Kvothe's story - Doors of Stone. Below is a recap of the rough journey to the present day which led on almost all of Patricks fans turning on him. This has been well documented over many posts, feel free to skip if you already know.

In July 2020, Betsy Wolheim - president, co-publisher, and co-editor-in-chief of DAW expressed her frustration and rare candor in the comment section of a Facebook article that villainized publishers, asking - "and what of the publishers that pay them? ". In a bit of a rant, she said she hasn't read a single word of book three, and isn't sure if Patrick even wants to write anymore. DAW Publishing was sold in July 2022. No publishing date has been announced.

Here's the important part. Patrick, throughout the wait, has not shed any light on the progress of the novel. He did not dispute Betsy's comments on never having seen a world of book 3. At this point, no one knew if the book was even written, or if the draft in that photo in 2015 was even real. The only people who would have intimate knowledge of the progress of the book would be Patrick himself, his inner circler, and his translators. But the translators, as said by Patrick himself, discussed the book in a private forum. No one knows of this forum - until now.

Plugging the chroniclers library url ([https://www.chroniclerslibrary.com/](https://www.chroniclerslibrary.com/)) into the internet wayback machine - you can see the whole story. In 2015, he had an all-hands-on-deck meeting shortly before the draft was tweeted. Again, in 2020, just before the chapter was promised. 30+ out of 54 employees meeting at the same time across different time zones is no small event, to me it tells me Patrick told them all to be online because he was dropping a draft, and he would be around the answer questions after giving them time to read it

Things were really slow - only 3 of these big meetings over roughly 12 years. Until recently - 35/54 in January of 2023, and 51/54 this morning, just a month later. I think there's actual progress being made. What are your thoughts?
