Farewell, Dresden Files

“Everyone I know goes away in the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

If I could start again a million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way.”

I never wanted to be here, and yet I am anyway. 

I am walking away from The Dresden Files.

“No more.”

One major spoiler for Battle Ground below. You’ve been warned. 

Keep reading

This, this is EXACTLY how I fucking feel having finished BG. Jim fucking crossed a huge line and lost my respect, big time with Murphy. He did her and Harry so dirty. It’s unforgivable.

I am deeply sorry you just went through the shit the Murphy fandom went through in fall 2020. I'm definitely here if you need to rant, vent, or whatever. It's inexcusable that he wrote this and his editors allowed it to happen considering what piss poor fucking writing it is. You're definitely not alone. He wants us all to think there aren't any Murphy fans out there and he's wrong. We're here and we're pissed the fuck off.

Harry Dresden and Mister

12. Drink

She frowned at me. "You need some rest. You look like hell. And you're obviously tired enough to have gotten the giggles."

"Wizards don't giggle," I said, hardly able to speak. "This is cackling."

-Harry Dresden, Karrin Murphy | Jim Butcher, Changes

Currently re-listening to the Dresden Files and this may be an unpopular opinion but I super dislike Susan. Like GIRL this story is not worth your life, CHILL OUT.

Welcome to the fold. I hate her. A lot of us hate her. She's extremely underwritten and annoying and she ruined Harry's life along with her own, so don't feel like you're the odd man out. A bunch of DF fans don't like Susan and I'm probably her biggest hater, tbh. 🤣

So all the credit goes for the people posting there.

But here are the highlights regarding, well, my only interest in the series really, Murphy:

Do not continue to read if you're not up to date on your reading of the books (meaning read only if you've read Battle Ground)

Q: Valkyrie code name was foreshadowing in BG, is Booster Gold also doing the same for Dresden swimming against time?

A: Wow, first off props for recognizing Booster Gold. What I can/will say is Murphy's story isn't over. It is and it isn't. Yeah, she'd be a really cute Valkyrie

My commentary: Why Jim? Why? You're going to torture us with Murphy being back but not back, possibly coming back under a disguise? with memory loss? Or are you going to turn her into a sort of Beatrix to Harry's Dante?

Q: What's been the death with the biggest reader outrage?

A: (sarcastic) Let me think… Oh my god, some of the looks I got, especially from my blonde readers!

My commentary: You be happy all you got was angry looks.

Q: Is there a link between Murphy and Persephone?

A: No.

My commentary: This is disappointing, but also, no Jim, you don't understand your own material, obviously.

Q: Any plans to kill off (anyone) in Twelve Months?

A: I'm gonna un-kill someone (gasps) not who you think.

My commentary: Really Jim? You gonna play these games?

Q: Are you playing Fuck Marry Kill with the vampire courts?

A: The evidence speaks for itself.

My commentary: Ugh

Also, this was deleted from the subreddit for some reason, but Jim is engaged to be married (yes, again, apparently he has some things in common with Murph, lol)

It continues to enrage me that he thinks what he did to Murphy is funny and that we're all just oversensitive snowflakes for being so angry. Murphy is one of my anchor characters. As is Harry. As in, I need her and Harry to keep me from ganking myself constantly thanks to what I refer to as my Grab Bag of Mental Illnesses. So for him to have done that to her, it literally destroyed part of my fucking mental health. I had an entire therapy session that was just about Battle Ground and how he fucked me and this fandom in the ass and thinks there's nothing wrong with it. I didn't really intend to read this post, but my eyes just started reading before my brain caught up and now I'm seething. OP is 100% correct--you're fucking lucky that all you've gotten is dirty looks.

God, what a fucking scumbag. He doesn't deserve this fandom, or any fandom, and I'm so angry he'll never see a single consequence for ruining one of the best female characters of all time all because he can't take his sorry ass to therapy instead taking his real life frustrations out on a well-written female protagonist. Just like another toxic author in the urban fantasy genre, but I'm not gonna get into that because it's a whole hour long rant, but her last name rhymes with Bamilton. And that's the track he's headed towards--a fully toxic author who has no grip on reality and takes it out on the characters because her life is shit.

Sigh. This is why we can't have nice things.

I did a quick coloring of one of my sketches yesterday. I was messing around with the colors but I like the outcome

Some Dresden Files sketches I did last night

Harry/Karrin shipping time... fanart (the only wedding that should matter)

The last one, because I fucking can.

And the title, well, it was right there, dunno how I didn't realize it before.

As usual, you can reblog (but please don't repost anywhere), remember to always credit, and you can't use without permission.

Now somebody has to go meet JB and get him to sign this, LOL.
