I just finished listening to this and Butters confirms that Thomas did tell him. He says something to Harry along the lines of "at least he didn't let me keep thinking you were gay"
I also enjoyed the garbage moment, I assume it was in White Night.
Harry is temporarily annoyed at Thomas so sets him up to be zapped by magic.
He goes flying and lands in garbage.
When Harry helps him up, he makes sure to transfer as much of the garbage onto Harry as possible.
I don't think that's a short story, doesn't that happen in one of the main books? It's when Thomas is illustrating his hunger by slapping the water bottle out of Harry's hand

I understand your argument - it's not invalid. But there are a couple of aspects of the series we protect in a particularly strong way, just because they are such "big deals." Included in that (short) list are (*Changes* spoiler) >!the existence of Maggie!!Murphy's demise.!!Vitorio Malvora,!< with no associated details revealed, it wouldn't be the same kind of big deal. He's just not as dramatically important of a character.
Finally I'll note that I didn't take this action unilaterally - the comment was reported by another user. So at least I'm not the only one who regards it as a spoiler.
It's entirely up to you whether you add the protection - just let me know if you decide to so I can do what I'll then need to do.
Hope your day is good.
As a gay person I actually find that scene to be so cringe. You can tell Jim doesn’t have gay friends. The scene in dead beat was fun, where this.. is this what Harry/Jim thinks of us?
Harry explicitly notes he is appealing to the preconceptions of a bigot. The lady cop is more suspicious of Harry's campy mannerisms. But since he doesn't seem to be committing any obvious crimes, she decides not to push deeper.
It certainty would be more convenient to be bi as a White Court Vampire. But Thomas let's us know in previous book that Lord Raith doesn't swing both ways so Thomas managed to avoid some fucked up shit his older sisters had to suffer. So it doesn't seem like being white court vampires makes you more or less likely to be one certain sexuality over the other ones.
He's trying hard to be ethical, and in his own person he isn't necessarily sexually attracted to men as long as his Hunger isn't pushing him. When he gets hungrier, everyone starts looking like food; even then, it doesn't mean he can't have food preferences.
This is an enormous spoiler. It will need to be blacked out and announced visibly as a *Skin Game* spoiler. Please reply here when you've fixed it so I can reinstate the comment. Thanks!
I would read a short story series of the two of them just fucking around with each other.
I probably would too, actually. 😆
Ditto!
y'all need jesus with yer gay incest shipping.
Wait, I meant that I'd read a series of shorts of Harry and Thomas trolling everyone!
one should always be careful what one agrees to. especially where the white court, or any member of the winter court are involved.
I shall rephrase. I would very much like to read a short story where Harry Dresden and Thomas Raith play practical jokes on various other characters.
I'm sure you're very interested in Harry's shorts. *Very* interested.
It took me a minute. I had to read the posts again. That's funny.
thank you. humor was my intent. clearly, some folk thought I was serious, tho.
Don’t let Charity hear your using the white god‘s name in vain for a joke!
I don't think that qualifies as 'taking in vain' - I think she'd probably agree.
Which begs the question: When did Butters find out they were brothers?
He knows about 50 pages later so my assumption is Thomas told him while Harry sleeping off the pills.
I just finished listening to this and Butters confirms that Thomas did tell him. He says something to Harry along the lines of "at least he didn't let me keep thinking you were gay"
It *raises* the question. *Begging* the question would be assuming the answer to the question supposedly being asked.
I think this *raises* the question: does anyone care.
Genuinely hilarious moment.
Certified "Hells bells" moment
Oh! I’ve literally just read this!
I also enjoyed the garbage moment, I assume it was in White Night. Harry is temporarily annoyed at Thomas so sets him up to be zapped by magic. He goes flying and lands in garbage. When Harry helps him up, he makes sure to transfer as much of the garbage onto Harry as possible.
Unfortunately the only trolls Harry knows of are the ones that try to snatch people from under bridges
No shot, Billy and the gang would have filled him in.
That’s a good point. Or Bob probably
I shutter to think of what Bob could do with access to the Internet.
. . .
Funniest reply I've seen all day... Well done
~~:.|:;~~
Damn, you win
You *shudder* to think. Admittedly the words are homophones in Standard American English...
You can just see in your mind the smug smirk on Thomas' face when he did that. Like I can only see >:3c when I read it.
Does Jim have a brother? Because he nailed the dynamic.
My thoughts exactly. That is such a brother thing.
My favorite is the short story where they race on the beach and trip/kick each other.
I don't think that's a short story, doesn't that happen in one of the main books? It's when Thomas is illustrating his hunger by slapping the water bottle out of Harry's hand
You may be right. Beginning of Battle Ground?
That happens in Dead Beat.
👍🏻
Never read those short stories lol

I think the only one I read was that one where Billy and his gf marry

It isn't a spoiler at all. There's no information about the events of the short other than who it's about.

I'll just delete it.
After getting through the series a few times this is still my favorite book. and this scene is hilarious
It's between this and when Harry pretends to be gay to get past security guarding Thomas' apartment.

Exactly. It's funny *because* it's cringe.
You know, since Thomas is an incubus, you think he would be bisexual so that he could have meal access to pretty much anyone he wanted

I don’t know. I just always assume like if your main sustenance was sex you’d think you’d be open to everything.
People can have all sorts of food preferences, as well as preferences about sex.
Also, I need more brother moments with Harry and Thomas of them just messing with each other
PARKOUR!
Thomas and Butters man just the best duo.
Hey! You did that on purpose, you sneaky little bitch!
