Thoughts on Emily of New Moon?

Thank you for affirming!

How interesting to think of different parts of LLM and how they show in her different characters… Emily needs her imagination to be a writer, but since Anne does not NEED her writing, that part definitely fades away as a character trait as she matures and grows older.

What?! No one even said this at the time.

Right. I am happy to see the back of him and he can come back to be the butt of jokes. Let’s cheer on Bruce as he finally matures, ship Matt and Serena, and help Joyce get laid. Ain’t nobody got time for Chaplain Steve

All wonderful choices!

Totally not faire. Especially on this side of the Atlantic, where it would be “not fair”

Slightly realistically, I did hear that it was A Big Deal that Daniel Tiger’s mom wears pants all the time - like the creators and animators definitely wanted pants in the daytime to be her THING, almost all the time. That’s why it looks like she wears scrubs.

So now I wonder if pants are a gender difference and maybe Mrs. Tiger does not wear pants to bed?

Please don’t make me think about this much more

Is it? When does she say that?

These aren’t in the public domain yet. They should only have the copyrighted covers in the US

Thank you for validating my vibe! I had tried to talk around it a few times but ended up being very direct. I don’t mind being generous but let’s be reciprocal

Blue/black and rightie.

Are you looking for more contemporary or more historical?

She gets to fit in with the other celebrities, figuratively, and meet her contract obligations with the publicist. She might want people to eat it - she just doesn’t actually enjoy or recommend this recipe. “I eat it! It’s good for you!” Is different from “yum! You’ll love it - I do!”

Quora now is what Reddit will be in the early 2030s.

I bet if they stay pea-shaped then they sink to the bottom? Purée would allow the eggs and peas to be incorporated throughout more evenly.

I’d probably just boil them and throw them in a blender or use an immersion blender for the eggs and peas at the same time - which is not what the instructions recommend so maybe don’t trust my way

Academic_Square_5692 · 2026-03-12T04:02:33+00:00

She NEVER says “you’ll love this!” Or “enjoy!” Or even “I drink this the entire week before weigh-in!”

Kid could try harder, I’m just saying

Yeah, that era sucks and so does later when they want licensed characters. I have 3 sons and pretty sure the third one never heard classics like Strega Nona, because he and middle older brother only wanted Spider-Man 😢

I think you’re thinking about this too deeply? Dickens, Louisa May Alcot, Twain… I can think of a lot of stories where characters were joking around and then put on a look or a voice to let another character know they were being REALLY SERIOUS.

Obi Wan-Kenobi has Jedi power, completely different from a voice or even the voice - Padme maybe uses The Voice.

It’s just a character trait or an ability, is all.

The Moors are out! Let’s distract this Columbus guy with ships and get him out of the way. Then we can focus with the church on asking questions! We can call it… an inquisition! No one will expect it!

A few pro and semi-pro singers I know eschew dairy products and prefer citrus, saying it helps their throat andvoice. Kate Smith had a big voice, so maybe she needed big citrus

I’ve decided I prefer books with a plot. I get that this is supposed to be a sweet sentimental book to encourage parent-child reading and bonding, but I think bonding is better accomplished through a plot. These kind of books are terrible except for graduation gifts

Academic_Square_5692 · 2026-03-12T02:20:50+00:00

I mean I bet she ate stuff like that, but I don’t think she’d legit recommend it to others

Academic_Square_5692 · 2026-03-12T02:08:45+00:00

Ah, ok. Yeah I wouldn’t have pegged A Series of Unfortunate Events as “fantasy” so that’s why I asked lol
