Jean and Locke's banter is my favorite thing ever. I live for their relationship. <3

Never not thinking about that scene in RSURS where Locke and Jean are screaming about how much they hate each other meanwhile pelting each other with each others favorite pastries that they'd independantly gone out of their way to steal in an effort to try and get the other to eat

for the first 5 pages I was very unsure about the lies of locke lamora (it's been ages since I last read this sort of fantasy and I was incredibly tired) but now i'm past the prologue and lemme tell you I am intrigued

#How did he kill them? Did he kill them? #The lack of insight into locke's perspective do far is peaquing my curiosity #Reafing tloll

Hi! I understand the needing distractions. That was me last week. Anyways, here I am to ramble about nonsense:

I stayed up until 1:45 this morning finishing a book, which was amazing and very worth it, even if I didn't actually fall asleep until after 4:30am. (I was then woken up 2 minutes before my alarm, which was set to go off at 9:30.) (The book in question was Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch, and it's the sequel to The Lies of Locke Lamora. I am utterly obsessed.)

In a related vein, reading those two books in quick succession has made me really, really want to write a heist story, or at the very least DM a heist-based DnD campaign/oneshot. And so with that in mind, I also got another idea from TLoLL: Bloodsucker Rose Garden.

It's a rose garden that drinks blood by stabbing you with its thorns, using them more or less like a vampire's fangs. Also, from the exterior it just looks like an expansive rose garden or series of rosebushes, but in reality it's all one large creature, connected under the ground. (A bit like those massive networks of fungi!)

I'm not sure how much you know about DnD, but I spent about an hour this evening making the stat block for the rose garden, so that I could actually use it in a DnD game someday, which was a lot of fun.

I also have an idea for a oneshot that I could DM involving said rosegarden, which is very fun. Basically, the players would be tasked with entering a Wizard's tower which is surrounded at the base by the Rose Garden. Then they have to make it up through the various floors of traps and guardians to find an artifact at the top of the tower.

It would be a great oneshot, but I would also be interested to use it as part of a larger campaign, and work the mystery of the artifact in question and who hired the party into a larger plot. But that would mean having to wait until the party is at a high enough level to take on that thing, and also actually being organized and plotting something out for once, which I never do. But I do really want to DM a game someday.

Okay, sorry for literally writing a novel in your inbox, but hey, at least it's a decent distraction, right???? Anyways, I hope your day gets better from here!

Hello hello, Lies of Locke Lamora has been recommended to me so many times by my roommate, I really do need to check it out some time. I’m loving the idea of a killer vampiric rose garden—predatory/carnivorous plants are one of my favorite things in fantasy biology, I think you’ve got so many cool options. Also the aesthetic is on point 🌹🥀🩸it’s the kind of thing I’d love to come across in a book.

Speaking of DnD, it’s been ages since I’ve played 😩 I have a tiefling criminal named Ripley I’m waiting to bust out when I get the chance eventually, but finding a group is so,,,so,,,difficult. Best of luck that you’re able to pull a party together, I think the encounters sound like a blast!

It's always so nice to see how seriously Locke takes Father Chains' advice.

Once, when I was old enough to understand what I'd done, I was ashamed to be a murderer...But now, now, I'll be a murderer once again. I will set myself to slay until every last Gray King's man is gone...I will have the Bondsmage and I will have the Gray king, and if all the powers of Camorr and Karthain and Hell itself oppose me, it will be nothing--nothing but a string of corpses between me and your master...Whatever he's planning, I will unmake it. Whatever he desires, I will destroy it...When you see the Crooked Warden, tell him that Locke Lamora learns slowly, but he learns well. And when you see my friends, you tell them that there are more of you on the way.

Locke Lamora, The Lies of Locke Lamora

Thinking about how it's second nature for Jean to take off his glasses and hand them to Locke before hell breaks loose and its such an ingrained gesture neither of them think about it anymore, how it's all part of this little dance they dance with each other. How Jean quite literally trusts Locke with his sight in dangerous situations. Love is truly stored in the little gestures huh
