I'm watching Unforgiven for the first time and all I can think is wow Joe Abercrombie sure loved this fuckin movie when he wrote Red Country, huh?

Inspired by @zarovichs 's post, I decided to make one for (most of) the POV characters from the standalone trilogy: Best Served Cold, The Heroes, and Red Country.
Say one thing for Joe Abercrombie: say he writes fuckable characters.
#the first law#poll#joe abercrombie#best served cold#the heroes#red country#i'm sorry beck & tunny aren't on this list#there are 12 people on this webbed site who read these books#in the words of glokta:#why do i do this?

Red Country was a goddamn masterpiece. More people here need to reach the First Law books so I can finally gush about them to someone. I could never dream to write something as good as those books, not now at least.

Red Country was defintely my least favourite of the standalones so far but seeing Cosca have a meltdown might just have made up for the first 60% of the book
#‘where iS MY GOLD????!!!!!’#like honestly I found the first half pretty boring#did not care about dab sweet#did not care about pit or ro#did not really care about logen as much in this one because he was just back on his bullshit#cared a lot about shy and temple but was frustrated the whole way through#which i guess is sort of the point but i think he did it better with monza/shivers#i think the last 30/25% is really really good tho#asks some good questions gives some good answers#but i slogged through this one a bit until i got to the 70% mark#i just dont think it hits as hard as the heroes did 🤷♀️#anyway on to the short stories ive already read the one about glokta before his charge god i love him#joe abercrombie#red country#logen ninefingers#nicomo cosca

People have often accused me of inconsistency but I feel that I have always, at any given junction, done the same thing. Exactly what I pleased.

Inside me there are two wolves. Savian/Lamb and Majud/Curnsbick. And they both demand fanfics to be written about them.
#listen you cant just say Curnsbick is canonically gay and take his stingy husband away from us#you cant#don't even fucking get me started on savian and lamb tho#i already wrote one fanfic and i have so many to write about them still#Abercrombie was just. working up to some gay shit.#like fr#you can feel the gay tension in red country#and then when the thought finally formulated in his head he was like. leo dan brock#and then he was like KING JAPPO#and im telling you it all started with one ginger machinist and a Kantic haggler#and two old men#one rebel and one murderer#tbh it happened even earlier#not just with terez but#also with monza sticking a digit up shivers#and him being like nah thats fine but theres somsone breaking in#i dont know where i was going with this#oh yeah Savian and Lamb are totally in love#first law#joe abercrombie#red country#the first law trilogy

‘Logen Ninefingers, then. The one they call the Bloody-Nine. I have heard stories about you, even shut up here in my library.’
Logen winced. He could guess what sort of stories the old man might have heard. ‘That was a long time ago.’
‘Of course. We all have a past, eh? I make no judgements on hearsay.’ And Bayaz smiled. A broad, white, beaming smile. His face lit up with friendly creases, but a hardness lingered around his eyes, deep-set and glistening green. A stony hardness.
Logen grinned back, but he reckoned already that he wouldn’t want to make an enemy of this man.
— The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
‘Your name hasn’t always been Lamb, has it?’
He looked at her, and then away. Hunching down further. Pulling his coat tighter. Thumb slipping out between his fingers over and over, rubbing at the stump of the middle one. The missing one. ‘We all got a past,’ he said.
#the first law#the blade itself#joe abercrombie#red country#logen ninefingers#bayaz#shy south#omfg he repeats bayaz's line!! also bayaz mentions a lamb right after this#forever crying at how abercrombie never calls him logen or the bloody nine in red country#it's so fckin good

I don't really like Westerns. Red country, the current book I'm reading, is a Western fantasy book in the First Law series. I'm really fucking enjoying it. Joe Abercrombie is a goddamn good writer.

Snipers
#tf2 sniper#tf2#team fortress 2#tf2 fanart#myart#i have lots of hcs to them i will explore other time#in short tho blu sniper is a high sens crackshot sniper and red is a low sens 'guitar hero' aim sniper#in other words. blu is the sniper you see running around the map everywhere quickscoping everybody#red is the sniper who kills you a country away and when you see the killcam he is like 3 visible pixels

Nostalgia was becoming a favoured hobby of his. Strange, how the best moments of our lives we scarcely notice except in looking back.
