and it's still getting better IMO. I love this noir season.

I loved Vice. Free cocaine!!

To be fair, it's quite obvious beer is a Light beverage - after all, it's got a white head, not a black head.

What's Guinness' alignment

Disgusting. It aligns with those dreadful Shadowspawn over at Shayol Ghul.

Ah, Led, you're starting to learn it already. Disgusting, dreadful, that's the kind of words you should use when talking about shadowspawn.

 

Good boy.

But the Black Tower is black. Which means it's ours.

That's Taint Black though. That's different.

Like the black of an oil slick ... With rainbows on the surface

i always figured it was obsidian like orthanc

The tower of many colours.

I don't know. I always imagined it as a reflecting kind of black, a bit like obsidian indeed, though of a different structure. Black in a way I like, at least, just like I like the black from metal bands (ironically, though, I don't like black metal).

I actually always mess up black, doom and death metal...

Or a black opal.

well it's the black of the black side of the AS symbol and the WT is the white but a lot of the symbolism is from Tolkien as well. it's not definitively evil but it's dark.

Death is the one that I like best though, but even then I prefer it coupled with folk metal or maybe as melodic death metal.

Double ninja...

Dark is Not Evil.

 

That's a trope.

you're agreeing with me. and it's more of an idiomatic thing if I understand tropes but maybe I don't.

Certainly not in Recluse.

There's not really a lot of understanding to be done with tropes. They simply are. There's also a trope "Dark is Evil".

 

"Dark is not Evil" is used for, for example, the Black Tower; they assosiate with black, but they're not evil (except some).

"Dark is Evil" on the other hand, is used for Myrddraal; they have black cloaks, and they're evil.

 

Yes, everything is a trope. Always.

Recluse is an epic book series.

I really enjoyed it. I wonder if I've still got it knocking about somewhere?

Still no sign of those rollers.

You should bug TMD about that. Right now he's mainly working on getting an off-site points page working again, I believe.

I wouldn't even know where to start. I imagine de-bugging would be a more useful talent.
