Perdido Street Station: Difference between revisions

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: How else to describe Isaac Grimnebulin? He's in love with a woman whose head is a giant beetle, a bird-person turning up on his doorstep asking for a new set of wings all but causes him to squee, and he is cheerfully enchanted with one particularly weird grub netted by his black-market attempts to find flight specimens. {{spoiler|Until that grub grows up.}} You know when Isaac is freaked out, shit got real. {{spoiler|He can hold a conversation, an intelligible and productive conversation, with ''The Weaver''.}}

* [[Noble Savage]] (Yagharek {{spoiler|Subverted by the end of [[Perdido Street Station]]. Played straight with the rest of his race though.}})

* [[Oh Crap]] (The city rulers in Perdido Street Station, on realising that the devils are scared of their problem.)

** They do have two different genders, but show extreme sexual dimorphism: the males are mindless beetles, whereas the females are sentient and are largely humanoid.

* [[Orifice Invasion]]: The slake-moths.

* [[Wild Card]]: The Weaver (and how.)

* {{spoiler|[[Women in Refrigerators]]}}

* [[Word Salad]]: The Weaver. Also, {{spoiler|Isaac's}} experience while under the influence of dreamshit.

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: {{spoiler|Isaac, by the end of the book.}}
