That would be amazing. He's the only key god that you didn't do art for.
They have a deal.
As much as I love the pronoun game, don't really know what you are talking about, Callan.
Just sayin' Somnambulist made a deal with a god, is all... >:p

Author Q&A / Re: Would 'You EAMD, bro?' be a funny t-shirt?

I laughed :)

Though, really, probably not fun to all but a few - likely no one I would expect to read it should I be wearing it.
I think it could work as a teaser - in a 'Vote for Pedro' way. People get that it sounds like 'MAD' but what are all these other letters/nonsense? It raises a question mark. A mystery.

Plus reading it out loud is an affront to my English language skills: "You Ever Men Are Deceived, Bro?"

Maybe just "EAMD, Bro?"
Aww, get poetic licence with it, bro! It's 'You ever man art deceived, bro?' if you want to read it in a fancy shakespear like way.

I'd considered your second formulation, but concluded it did not contain enough of the original meme to trigger the meme (I mean the original is three words - you've already lost 33% of the meme and another word gone would be 66% lost) and so trigger the 'translation' of EAMD to MAD.

Maybe it's like highlander and you get the powaz of those you eat and all those they ate before them?

I really shouldn't be reading these threads - 6 more days to go until the bookshop should have TGO...

Few, I can imagine the producer meetings on this one. The many of them. But I have to weigh in in favour of the wangs.

I hope Aurang's wang is Mandingo sized. It would bring a lot to the series I feel.
“Plainly,” Titirga replied, frowning at the creature’s groin.

Yep, they're gunna have trouble with showing wangs at all, let alone erect ones. I guess it'd be ground breaking, though I'm not sure I can place my finger on who's ground it'd break. Sure, when a show actually shows a nude male for once (instead of just nude females), I'm like 'Ho, they actually did it!' I'm a little shocked, but it's hardly super important by itself. I'd think actually showing erect penises actually has the problem of being kind of hilariously ridiculous! Though I guess the rape will kill that humor soon enough.

I was wondering if he'd blow up the universe and meaning with it, causing the big bang to create ours.

Also it's worth considering if what Kellhus says can be taken as a prediction about the readers inclination and over time the reader starts to see the gods as a tyranny.

He speaks as the old ones do, in the voice of three...

It's only meta damnation when Kellhus grasps the absolute...and eclipses it.

I think it shows how readily stones are cast

Also track how it goes up if you question it going up. It's something that doesn't like self reflection. Doesn't like light cast into its corner.

End damnation - to introduce hyper damnation! All the soul reading skills of a Dunyain used to really judge ya good!

they're merely rationalizing their submission to base impulses, to advance their self-interest at the expense of others.

So you're saying it's not individualism if it's in self interest and at the expense of others?

Or are you trying to say individualism is a superstitious term? Still seems valid to me, in as much as it's derived from 'individual' and clearly when the news reports yet another horrible car crash where someone died, I didn't die and as much we were individual from each other.

To me it seems more like Boromir is not being treated as enacting individualism because he went against the tribe. Went against the flow.
