Tim, talking to a new super: Yeah a lot of stuff happens to people in my family when theyre 17

Tim: When my dad was 17 he ran off to train with assassins

Tim: When my older brother was 17 he became a crime lord

Tim: When I was 17 I briefly led an assassin cult

Tim: And then there’s my little brother, I’ve always kinda considered him the black sheep of the family

New super, bracing themselves: oh god

Tim, hissing: When he was 17 he went to med school

Damian (17): time to rebel against my family.

Damian *applies to college and lives well*

Damian: truly, nobody is as devious as I.

also while we're having fun making jokes i do just want to make sure we're all on the same page here that kaylin is not actually a PA on dropout she is in fact an improv comedian and she is very funny

Hey, this one goes out to Imani.

12 skulls Imani. The first example of "it might get worse before it gets better." Queen of "They will not break me." He might not even realize it, but Carl's ideals were demonstrated and reinforced by Imani. Maybe the most important woman in the series? (I love her)

Meeting all of Meadow Lark was clearly deeply formative, but meeting Imani? Imani, who loved her people enough to mercy kill them? Imani, who loved her co-workers enough to take that decision off of them? Imani, who physically left behind the bloody choices of the first two floors and the pvp tickets, and chose a race and class that let her go back to healing? (I love her)

All my homies love Imani. Three cheers for Imani.

Dungeon Crawler Carl basically goes like this:

Books 1-2: surprisingly well written considering how basic and derivative the premise is. The author read hunger games and hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and took the best parts of both and put his own spin on them.

Books 3-5:

Book 6-7: I wonder how long Matt Dineman had the complete history of this entire scifi universe built out before he decided on a dungeon crawl as the medium he would use to deliver it.

i think one of my personal favorite aspects of the dungeon crawler carl series is watching Carl, a cishet dude, avoid any sexual or romantic subplots with the deftness of a trained aroace.

You know that snarky bit of writing advice that goes like “if you’re going to objectify the women in your media, then you also have to objectify the men”

Congrats to Matt Dinniman for being the first male author ever to understand the assignment
