jade_sabre: (attolia:  Costis is one hot piece of...y)
Jade: yeah
I'm on the verge of giving up on typing WP on LJ
just because my instinct is to type "______" even though WP is shorter
he needs a better nickname
I love love love that keestone nicknames her husband Beloved
and of course there's mr. checkers
Em: lol
ahaha
but he's called WP now
oh just call him Hubbie
Jade: oh no
Em: or MyDude
ahahah
Jade: em are you trying to make me throw up again
Em: that was a joke
Jade: :-b
i know
can you imagine the reaction
if i went
I AM NOW GOING TO CALL WP
Em: snicker
Jade: "HUSBY"
AND Y'ALL CAN DEAL
Em: cutiepiebaby
AHAHAHA *makes vomiting motions*
Jade: I literally defriended someone on Facebook because I realized I hadn't spoken to her and years and I was sick about reading about her husby
...and then she tried to friend me back HOW DID THAT HAPPEN
Em: idk you have weird friends
me included
don't worry, if yo defriend me, then i won't come friending you back
IT'S BURNT BRIDGES ALL THE WAY
Jade: FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES
GASOLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE
...MAYBE PETROL ON YOUR SIDE OF THE BRIDGE I GUESS
Em: DANCING BEARRRRS
Jade: IN THE FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES
FLAMING HOOPS?
JUMP THROUGH
Em: yes
anyway
back on topic
Jade: *coughs politely*
Em: WP needs a name
Jade: well i mean he has one
Em: online name
Jade: hahahahahahaha
:-b
Em: may I suggest...Costis?
Jade: ...
Em: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jade: it would
you know
work
Em: I WIN
Jade: technically
speaking
it would be
oh dear
Em: yes
Jade: oh no
Em: YES
Jade: Em
why have you suggested this
it's perfect
oh no
Em: because I am a reprobate and i think we should post this convo to your lh
Jade: but you know Willow LJ Costis would post about it
in the rain with slit wrists
Em: lj ahahaha
Jade: BUT IT'S PERFECT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Em: mwhhahaaha
I have a solution
You put WP and Costis Ormentiedes in the Tardis and make them one person. Costis is WP in fiction and WP is Costis in nonfiction. then you get your baseball bat to fend off the fangirls and get on lj.
Jade: that is
an excellent plan
Em: then you can stop stressing about babies and adopt _______'s babies. i mean Costis'
so your real baby is actually 7 babies
idk
maybe the septuplets need a younger RL sibling
so it works out



maybe maybe it can be like some sort of variant? or abbreviation? I mean straight-up "Costis" would confuse even me, but, you know, Costis II might be okay. Probably I should save Costis Jr. for later. I can't even believe I'm considering this someone take me to the madhouse

so when he was here last I gave WP my copy of The King of Attolia, as he had already finished TT and QoA. Last night he texted me saying, "I was going to wait until you started reading the [hopefully better than that abysmally awful other] book I gave you, but I couldn't resist."

so by this afternoon he had gotten to "ten gold cups" (and was like, I can see bits of myself in Eugenides and in Costis, and I was like well, I do have a type*), and then tonight I got a text telling me that the queen of Attolia was acting like me, which I correctly interpreted as the moment in my icon, which I proceeded to quote from memory.

"The plot? The plot so far is that Eugenides is king and is trying to be accepted by Attolia...or...well, I am guessing by her past writing that he does know what he's doing, she's just not telling us? So I don't think he's just trying to get accepted by Attolia. So it seems like he just wanted to marry her and now he's king and he's like oh crap. And Costis is having Severe Issues. [...] He's not going through an identity crisis so much as he's just going through a crisis. And he doesn't realize he can be loyal to both of them, or one, i.e. one them together. That's not an option."

A CONSPIRACY OF KINGS REVIEW

actual title of the post )

four hours, minus half an hour of walking and another fifteen minutes of squeeing to Lovie and rereading scenes

okay okay okay okay okay okay uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum, bad things first:

four points )

brief description of the novel )

OKAY SO

SQUEE TIME

incoherent non sequitors of joy )

what I loved the most )

the downside to my favorite part, and ruminations about the next books )

Eddis and Attolia )

a few more thoughts about things I liked )

Okay, I think I covered all the main points I wanted to, and everything else can be remembered in the comments. Overall, I really, really loved it, and it's still really, really good, and the ways in which it is lacking are bolstered, at least for fans I think, by the characters.

Remind me to tell y'all my adventures in finding my copy. AND REMEMBER, FEEL FREE TO SQUEE AWAY.

ANGERS, 14 décembre 2008--Le soldat Aristogiton n'a pensé qu'une blague pour son ami.

"Il est trop stressé par notre travail comme soldat," il a éxpliqué aux pompiers, qui l'avaient trouveé en utilisant une serviette pour battre contre des chiens.  Il a volé cette serviette de son ami Costis, qui était en train de prendre une douche.  Mais quand il s'est enfui de l'immeuble, il a decouvert les chiens qui gardent le batîment des soldats.  Une témoine a appelé les pompiers au même moment que les autres soldats sont arrivés, grâce au bruit.  Ils ont rétourné les chiens à leur niche.  Les pompiers sont arrivés, et Aristogiton a decouvert qu'il avait été blessé par un chien. Les pomiers l'ont guéri, mais malheureusement, la serviette a été mangée par un chien.

"Il est vraiment bête," a dit Teleus, le capitaine du regiment.  "Mais amusant, comme même."

Costis, qui a réfusé d'ouvrir sa porte, n'avait rien dire.  Aristogiton a promis de chercher une nouvelle serviette quand il n'a plus de mal.
