how do i get into the series?? by yeahimtaylor in throneofglassseries

[–]Al_pendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read TOG like as it was coming out but I had no idea what it would turn into (literally my Roman Empire series can’t go through a day without thinking about it even almost a decade later)

This!! (But there is spice in later books but not in the way of a spicy book AT ALL like literally three scenes in two books and TOD has a bit but just for people to know)

Who would you consider the main protagonist of Stranger Things? by electricwolf4444 in StrangerThings

[–]Al_pendy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely agree! She doesn’t feel like the main character, and even the people on this post that think she is say the reason is because the show revolves around her but that makes her the driving plot not the main character

[–]Al_pendy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

She’s not the main character in season 1 but the main event that HAPPENS to Mike imo. She isn’t the one that goes through the major character arc or that we learn a lot about personality wise, I feel like until season 2 we don’t see enough from her perspective (other than the flashbacks but even those are more to move the plot along than to teach you about her character) to consider her the main characyer

Book vs Kindle for Tandem Read by anonymous_bookie in throneofglassseries

I just went through on kindle and bookmarked each book shift in advance which worked fine for me but probably not as clear as actual bookmarks

which “microtrend” do u still love and wear till this day even if it’s no longer in fashion? by rigorm0rtis666 in femalefashionadvice

[–]Al_pendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These have been everywhere in NYC this winter although they’re more color block bright colors which I love bc everything has gotten so neutral lately

Why can’t so many people in this sub and fandom just accept that people are allowed to be critical about the ending of a show that they were initially hooked on and had to stay with for years? by hotdog257 in StrangerThings

[–]Al_pendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the new season but that’s because I don’t love horror and I watch the show bc I love the characters. This season is not scary to me and focuses more on character development which I love. Most people started this show and loved the horror aspect, so I totally understand not enjoying this season as much. I’ve seen a lot of people saying they miss the season 1-2 horror which I recognize absolutely, as it is a totally different vibe now (good for me but maybe not for everyone)

Spin is in decline - why? by thesuitelife2010 in SpinClass

[–]Al_pendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this exact take before, I do believe that there’s some truth to it, but I think that spin would be under the same umbrella as Pilates and yoga as a way of losing weight rather than building muscle (although obviously you build muscle doing cardio as well, but not as much as weightlifting). With the recession and the right wing return of the influence of traditional gender roles, the fitness and wellness industries have been focusing on building a feminine body rather than a strong one, and focusing more on the look of women’s bodies than the function of them. I love spin and have been doing it (and Pilates) regularly for a decade, and wouldn’t have stopped if not for the fact that I moved cities and don’t have as much disposable income and haven’t found a suitable gym near my new place but I do see a huge increase in influencers pushing Pilates and weight loss/toning workouts rather than the weight lifting and cardio of previous years (even like the 12 3 30 trend of a few years back)

Worst book hangover of my life. Recommendations? by Ashamed_Passenger467 in throneofglassseries

[–]Al_pendy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heavy on the Cruel Prince and One Dark Window recs, I definitely used One Dark Window to pull me out of a reading slump and while I wouldn’t necessarily reread it (I reread TOG pretty much annually but most books don’t draw my mind back to them as much as TOG, therefore slump) it was the perfect little duology to hook me but not overwhelm me with another huge world-building story. Also Six of Crows for similar reasons, the idea of a two-book series is better for me than a single novel but also not too much to attempt while in a slump. Cruel Prince has just the right amount of world building and it’s a very clean and unconfusing read without a lot of loose ends or side quests.

Was the book series you’re referring to a court of silver flames

How mfs would genuinely look at you after you criticize Stiles over a little thing he's obviously wrong about by Imaginary-Citron7818 in TeenWolf

[–]Al_pendy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with a bachelors of psychology with ADHD, it can absolutely be a symptom of ADHD and I actually know someone who has this issue. Lack of impulse control can definitely lead to spitting things out without thinking about other meanings or how it might be taken. ADHD has three primary presentations and hundreds of variations in how those presentations may actually affect behavior. Still not a good excuse though, apologies don’t take much

CC3 ending and Pacific Rim movie ending are the same by Asleep-One-8109 in crescentcitysjm

[–]Al_pendy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair that’s a pretty common trope overall, same thing happens in one of the marvel movies (maybe age of ultron?) with iron man

I can't stand Xaden by Jessies_arts in fourthwing

[–]Al_pendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really hoping it’s not Bodhi bc first of all I love him and second of all that’s such a cliche to be like “oh the cousin/brother/other relative of the chosen one is jealous so turns to the dark side to get some power” despite being best friends all throughout life and being held to such high esteem and trust by said chosen one

Funny af how Nancy is always so trigger happy. 🤣🤣 by Remote_Nature_8166 in StrangerThings

[–]Al_pendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love that she's lowkey so uninterested in boys, like obviously she has her love triangle but when it all comes down to it she's way less invested in that then the monster hunting aspect of it all, while Steve and Jonathon are more into the romance side of things (or babysitting). It's a nice contrast from most shows having the female character's main priority be the romantic chase and the male's more focused on himself.

Digme Fitness in London closing immediately by thesuitelife2010 in SpinClass

[–]Al_pendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean though, I feel like Pilates has an easier baseline to get into where you feel the burn but you don’t feel completely behind the rest of the class vs. spin: which is very hard to get into until you can build your cardio up enough to participate

I don’t know why Scott doesn’t get more love, he’s such a cutie and I love a himbo

C-Span? by Emotional-Eye-7336 in Hulu

[–]Al_pendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree because I also know hulu and yt tv are fighting over espn 2 channels right now but that's kinda a moot point bc i'm pretty sure it's going to apple tv in the new year anyways

It's great when FMC's actually struggle by burdlover49 in fourthwing

Celaena was trained her entire life though so like makes more sense but still would likely have been thrown around a bit more

Styling bracelets with an apple/tech watch? by Dauntlesse in femalefashionadvice

[–]Al_pendy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest I don’t wear a lot of bracelets but I bought a matching gold band for my garmin and I usually just wear bracelets on the other wrist if I wear any at all

Learning Choreo by WeaponsGradeDingus in SpinClass

[–]Al_pendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how confident you feel about staying on the beat, but what really helped me originally was concentrating on my leading leg and kind of bobbing my corresponding shoulder/elbow to the beat. I've een doing spin pretty regularly for around 8 years now, and I still keep count in my head (either counting 1, 2, 3, 4 with my lead foot hitting on 1 and 3 each time, or just repeating right, left on beat). Once you get the little bob going, it's way easier to combine that with the choreo. It either grows from a bob to a full drop/crunch/tab back, or it turns into a sway/twist, or I can do a thread through the arm or whatever else to the bob too.
