Best HFY Reddit Stories: What Talon And What Dreadful Claw

[@norneaernourn8240]

This is very well written. A bittersweet tale told flawlessly. Bravo to the author.

If I had a nickle for every piece of Sphinx waifu media I've seen in the past hour, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice in such a short time.

[@THExRISER]

What's the other one?

[@anonymouspotato4899]

@@THExRISER A comic about Dragon's Dogma 2 that was posted in a discord I'm in, where the sphinx asks you to choose which of your pawns you love so she can judge you.

[@GrigoriZhukov]

Yes, but always pleasure to be reminded what a good guy the prince was.

@@anonymouspotato4899 Gotcha, thanks.

The last riddle answer is love. And there is the onion ninjas. God I hate them

[@nickfulton8173]

The onion ninjas are too busy crying to cut the onions

🎶What is Love?🎶 🎶Oh baby, don't hurt me🎶 🎶Don't hurt me no more🎶

[@jhackofalltrades]

Everybody keeps saying it's love, by I think that loss fits better. Especially considering the first, second, and last lines. Just read the lines with loss in mind, it's there.

[@misterben4360]

it's both. I was trying to show that the final form of love is loss. They both work, not because the riddle is fuzzy, but because they are the same thing, just at different moments.

So the answer is | | | l I -------|-------- l l | l__

[@medicmain3947]

Do you believe in life after love? Sorry I'll see myself out

[@jhackofalltrades]

​@@misterben4360 I.... disagree and I'm not quite sure how to put it. Love is a prequisite for loss, sure. You certainly can't have catastrophic loss without do love. But love is relationship or relation-al. It's the tying of one thing to another. Loss is when that love is there, but the thing it is tied to is gone. Love can remain after loss leaves. Loss cannot remain after loss has died. I think. I haven't loved or lost like this.

[@JosephKano]

Well written wordsmith, well narrated Net. Dastardly onion ninjas got me bad for this one.

[@rossdavies8250]

I really liked this tale, mainly because it is atmospheric. My instinct was to say "love." But then, my answer was contextual, logical, as always. I have learned your tricky ways. Maybe loss works too, but nothing is ever lost; It merely transforms. You Humans still puzzle me, after 70 years amongst you.

[@misterben4360]

one of my goals for the story was to connect love with loss. debating between the two is supposed to show how they form a seamless continuum. loss is the final stage of love. they are both the right answer because they are the same thing at different times.

[@asureaskie]

Oof. That was rough to listen to. Well-written! But... hard.

[@anormalpotato2887]

You know the story is good when onion ninjas surround you while you are reading.

[@rowanhaigh8782]

This was beautiful, I got so drawn into the love between them. ❤

[@misterben4360]

Good morning! I’ve been excited to see this piece for a while. Thanks for doing it :)

[@DavidVincent-f5l]

This story reminds me of Spice and Wolf anime. I would love to see this animated.

[@jasonwarren9279]

That was beautiful

[@cloudedarctrooper]

damn. this is a beautiful story. It's... definitely an emotional gut-punch at the end, but that's a beautiful story.

[@scotthinger6397]

Well done to the both of you and thank you.

[@DimitriKurkov]

What pain can make the godless pray? The worst of all. The pain of lost loves and broken hearts.

[@Cortanis001]

Shut up! I'm not crying! You're crying. T_T
