What's the most unsettling part of the Chronicles?

Post by **Ur Dead** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 2:38 am

1. You think your going to get squished by a car and find some beastie talking like Golum, threating you, then finding your 2000 feet above the ground being hammered by some voice that compells you into something you don't understand.
(Talk about having a bad day)

2. Getting smeared with a glittery mud, passing out thinking you have been slipped a mickey. Waking up and finding out your tarzan and jane is lookin good.
(Bongo trip with LSD)

3. Having "MoM' protect your butt because some very angry big young fellow is going to cut body parts from you because of what you did. And not trying to explain what happened to Mom after she knows what happen to her child. Or really expressing any sorrow. (Moms can be very protective)

I think the trip to the land and the first sections are some very messed up experiences.

1) The rape

2) The Giantish triplets - the end of the Giants' Exile meaning their slaughter by their highest hopes, not finding Home.

3) Elena getting far too friendly towards TC

'Elena Foul-Wife' at the Colossus always gives me the creeps.

And 4 yr old Pietten licking blood and smiling.

The whole concept of having a desspressed rapist arse-hole who refuses to help anyone unless it aids himself as the hero.

All the Giants dying.

New Giants in the 2nd chrons.

Actually the whole "hey dad,you raped mom and completely screwed up my families lives, lets be lovers beloved" thing was pretty screwed up, that and leaving the island WITHOUT A DAMN LIMB!

Post by **spacemonkey** » Sat Sep 23, 2006 5:17 am

Mine was:
TC killing Pietten even after all his "I'll do no more killing." remorse/guilt trip

2) Elena and the Ranyhyn dancing together ( Really cool,But dancing with Horses? I thought it was Dances with wolves??

3)TC getting fried/killed by the Wild Magic by Lord Foul,I figured TC was immune to that...........

And Yes,The rape was really f'ed up in a real bad way
Oh,sorry dudes and dudettes,that's four I'll shut up now......

Proebely the biggest two, being the rape, and TC dying.

Yeah, that whole thing involving the end of the giants was pretty f'ed up.

I think I remember the entire book of TPTP being f'ed up. And for some reason that's my favorite book. Heh.-jay

As a father of a lil girl had to be the rape----hell even as a 13 r old reading them for the first time the rape was ummmmmm out there.

The sunbane was a f'ed up experience and of itself

what about Trell's ability to bring about another ritual of desecration... that was f'ed up

I get the distinct feeling there's gonna be a whole slew of new VERY messed up scenes in the forthcoming 3 books...

About the whole "leaving the One Tree without a limb" part, one thing that always struck me as odd is that not a single member of the company wondered about Vain's wooden arm and whether it might actually be wood from the Tree. I mean, it turned into wood while they were on the island.

Weird / Bad

1. Elena wanting to have sex with her biological father was pretty messed up to me. (ditto sunbaneglasses)
2. The One Tree

Good / Yikes

3. Triock (my new favorite character) and his quest to the Unfettered One down south. Man! What a great tragic story.
4. Thomin breaking Verement
5. Leperous beings created in the likeness of deseased TC via the Illearth Stone - messed up!
5. Lord Mhoram in all his awesomeness

and a bunch more.

1. TC's tasty razor-bun - ouch !! still makes me cringe just thinking about it ..

2. Fleshharowwer's exploding Giant-head trick ..

3. the deranged mental state in which TC finds the aged-Lena during TPTP

Post by **A Gunslinger** » Fri May 11, 2007 2:05 pm

1) Marid

2) Elena kissing TC and wanting to do the deed...Elena? Electra more like it.

3) The razor blade in the bun.

Hmm.....
Did Elena really want to do "it" or was she just doing what she thought TC wanted?
Kind of a hero/godlike worship "do anything for" kind of thing?
(which is pretty messed up in and of itself)
Did SRD use any words like lust or desire when describing what Elena was feeling?
I don't remember.
I do remember thinking the whole thing was pretty creepy though!

Oh, i'd forgotten about the razor blade incident. Creepy.
