i think that the mom IMMEDIATELY asking dw why she wants to freeze a snowball is the funniest shit like. she knew better than to just say yes to her daughter who loves tormenting her older brother wanting to freeze something that can later be thrown at him

The really sad thing about the narrative of DOTCs is I can legit see Bumble and Grey Wing becoming Friends. Instead the authors put Grey against her because in the distance future Firestar has to be the special lil guy and break the kittypet bloodline weakness curse or something (still love ya Fire.)
I'm not sure... I think the Gray Wing they wrote is so nasty and spiteful that he was always going to hate Bumble, because she "took" his romantic interest from him. I think to like Gray Wing, you have to like a completely new character.
He isn't wise, at all. He's actually completely oblivious. To Clear Sky, to his partners, to his adopted children's feelings. He has a couple nice interactions with Pebble Heart and that's about it.
His emotions are constantly clouding his judgement. Spite towards Bumble, adoration for Clear Sky, frustration at Turtle Tail coming down from heaven because she can't stay (???)
Complete misogynist. Judges female characters much more harshly than male characters around him, even going so far as to feel happy that Wind Runner has no ambition while she's nursing her kittens.
Tried to "comfort" her when her baby passed away by telling her "we can't save everyone and maybe it's for the best it died. Anyway it would be easier for you if you believed in Jesus."
This isn't even getting into the constant ridiculing of fat people and Chelford cats.
He's everything that sucks about male WC protags in a little bundle. Sad boy who has to get rewarded for all his "romantic suffering" with a womb to incubate his 'real' children after being a moron at best and a jackass at worst for 6 books.
I just can't see the character they wrote maintaining a friendship with Bumble. He seems like he'd come up with some stupid reason to dislike her and smugly cap it off with, "and that's that!" like he did when he was berating Turtle Tail for even thinking about going to live with her. And then the writers make everyone clap.

So strange watching other people in the BG3 character creator going 'I need my character to be super hot' and almost always choosing elf or tiefling. I just went GNOME! I AM A WEIRD* LITTLE GNOME WOMAN!
Then the Guardian section and again, everyone going 'Needs to be HOT' and my process was 'I want someone who looks like they would legit tell a god to fuck off then show them the finger' and made a grumpy old dwarf guy with one demon eye.
...I feel like I am doing this wrong.
*weirdness is separate from gnome-ness, but a vitally important part of my character creation.

as one of the only pocs in my program, i’m allowed to say stuff that my classmates are afraid to and today we were talking about this book’s UK cover and nobody wanted to say it so i said “that’s literally the aladdin font and lamp like that’s cheesy as hell” about a book about djinn and everyone immediately agreed
