One more point of interest: Word of God recently confirmed that Rollo wasn’t a dog. Wildbow never clarified what species exactly Rollo was, but fans theorise that it was a coyote.
Huh, that’s interesting. I guess “Rachel couldn’t tell the difference” is a better explanation than “the Dandelions couldn’t tell the difference”.
One of the posts in interlude 11b uses the wrong quote. The quote “But you’ve piqued my interest, and if there’s any reason I do what I do, it’s because I find it interesting.” appears twice.

Whoops! Fixed, thank you. 🙂
You spoke about bystanderism in your arc thoughts. What do you think about the contrast between Taylor engaging in anti-bystanderism to save Charlotte and then letting the Merchant bleed to death? I personally think it’s a sign of how she’ll act to do what she thinks is right but is willing to be ruthless if it’s an enemy.
It’s a very fitting contrast that highlights something I’ve been pointing out about Taylor since Agitation: She can be quite cruel if she thinks it justified somehow.
It would be hypocritical of me to judge her for her actions regarding Thomas, but this is a consistent character trait that I quite enjoy.
“Better to terrorize and inflict light wounds than to maim or murder.” Rachel dogs confirmed as D&D 3e Clerics with Inflict Light Wounds prepared
Pfft, sure. 😛
Maybe that’s why her first dog was named Roll-o.
Not so much an ask as a comment, but I feel compelled to tell you that dog handling is not one of WIldbow’s many talents. Pushing the dog down to ‘show your dominance’ is actually a very harmful and wrongheaded training method. (feel free to ignore, it just puts my shoulders up around my ears to see it passed on uncritically :P)
Ouch, yeah, that does sound bad when you put it like this.
…I feel like it’s worth noting that it’s a lot like how Rachel herself was raised, too.
So now that you know the Nine are recruiting (and how they recruit), any guesses as to who else might be a nominee?
Hookwolf. I’m almost certain. The dude’s brutal as hell, with more murders on his file than Weld remembers seeing on anyone who wasn’t already in the Birdcage (though as I mentioned back when that was established, that’s partially because he keeps escaping the transport to it). Also, if we get to see him and Bitch interacting at the test, that ought to be interesting.
Other than him… maybe Night? I don’t know.
The eyes are a direct hole to the brain and Siberian definitely stuck her fingers in deep enough to scramble that.
Hm, yeah, I guess so. RIP.
This chapter is only five days after the Wards find the bodies the Nine left, but they were apparently there for some time before they did those murders.
Ah. Yeah, I thought that might be the case… Seems they’re fairly decent at staying low.
cats and dogs is an acceptable ship.
“Maybe she’s recruiting.” Let’s go to the Ding Board for that one… Donnnng!
Hehe 😛
Every once in a blue moon, I do get something right 😉
