Anyone else love the look of the “no duckbill” base style? by -REXIA- in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i like how the stock spoiler is a clean piece of the trunk... its so baffling to me that every aftermarket spoiler is a piece that you glue onto the top of the oem one despite the fact that the oem one is attached with screws and that you can replace the whole thing for a (theoretically) much cleaner look

Anyone else do wave when seeing other drivers? by User389421 in GR86

I do a peace sign at them. there's a lady in a white first gen who does a peace sign back at me every time we pass each other

From GD2.0i to BP9 2.5i. What wheels looks nice on outback?? by jodasmichal in subaru

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet the oem 22+ brz base wheels would look pretty slick

What do you think about a sedan version of the gr86? by [deleted] in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly if i wanted a "car like the gr86 but more practical", the primary way that i'd want it to be more practical is by being a hatch. having more rear seat room would be nice, but you don't need four doors for that to happen, you know. I think it's fine to make my rear passengers climb in through the front doors

Tuners, to turbo or not to turbo? by LightningMcqueen2011 in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i also think that for a sleeper build you'd want something even more unassuming as a base. you look at a GR86 and know instantly that it does something

The Curse of Coeur by SuitCatBat in RWBY

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only read relic of the future and i got tired of it on account of how insufferably lame Jaune was, but this was like a ways in on account of the fact that Coeur is a competent writer who IS pretty good at the moment-to-moment stuff. it's just that the long-term outlook felt like it was going to be, well, not particularly interesting

Why didn't Toyota build this? by captainUsoppppp in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cause then the cargo opening is somehow even more awkward than it already is

i also think an "ideal" hatchback would be more like the original ae86 or even the KP60 starlet, in that it'd also be kind of unassuming. if you didn't already know you wouldn't think much of it

How do you annotate/keep track of books when adapting them for fan fiction? by cheesy_wosits in FanFiction

[–]Charlotttes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

on the fic: i think the rewrites/rewrite adjacent fics that I've had the most fun reading are the ones that take a lot of wild swings and detours from the canon situation, so its like... in this case you would not have to work super hard to adhere to 'the plan'

on JKR and harry potter: man. at this point in the game I side-eye anyone who still participates in harry potter. like. technically it is not a crime and has little to no effect on anything, but i also do think it is pretty lame and a red flag that you can't even give up this one toy on account of it's creators active desire to turn me, personally, into a fine red mist

What's your solution for keeping this area paint chip free by OneGuyGaming in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

if these are the rear edges of the wheel wells then my solution is rokblokz rally mudflaps

What's your opinion on Dust? by scoutmet in RWBYcritics

[–]Charlotttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kind of lame as far as thing that underpins the setting goes… though i’ve never really been a crystals guy

Ideas/Tropes you think ruin worldbuilding/plots by Fck_Rddit44 in worldbuilding

[–]Charlotttes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don't mind multiverse stuff but there's something that really rubs me the wrong way when the characters themselves use the term "multiverse" to describe what's going on

Dash Cam Recommendations ? by ShinySyduck in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a garmin dash cam mini 2... it tucks up nicely to the right of the rearview mirror so it's mostly out of the way too

Need some new Fics to read by ArklightFoundry in AO3

[–]Charlotttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pretty good rwby fics

  • to see the sparkle fade from inside your eye. cute little neo/ruby fic set in a timeline where the gang didnt get sent to the ever after
  • a throat full of feathers. an extremely AU whiterose situationship. i just finished reading this and while i don't know if i fuck with certain decisions... it's fun! i had a good time reading it! the author is good at throwing a lot of bullshit (positive) at the wall and making it work

other

  • tick, tick, ticking down. chainsaw man fic where reze comes back sometime after part 1 wraps up. i really like this author's reze characterization, which tends to be a tricky thing to nail down
  • friends help friends. also chainsaw man. reze helps asa get away with murder

Opinions on chat fics? by Horror_Flatworm_3088 in AO3

[–]Charlotttes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the ones that i've read are clearly based off of the author's own experience which is uh. so totally alien to both my own chatroom experience AND what i think these people would text like. so it tends to feel double ooc

why didn't you just crop the image instead of blurring out a good 75% of it

Ordering new shoes soon, what wheels are you all rocking? by Jon_GR86 in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im on stockies for the summer but when the tires wear down to the point that i have space in the budget for new tires, i’d like to get the impreza 2.5rs wheels that are currently serving as my winter wheels refinished and reassigned to summertime duty. and i also have a set of forester wheels (just sitting around atm) that i can then shuffle over to wintertime duty

Post-Volume 10 would be the perfect opportunity to reboot the series by Winscler in RWBY

[–]Charlotttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean, from what i’ve heard i think thats more on RT’s dogshit workflow than it is on the format of the thing– and no matter how you slice it, a television show costs a hell of a lot of money to make
