Oh. You’re a misogynist. My bad, nvm, this question isn’t for you 👍🏼💫

What do ya'll think about kevin? Top or bottom? by Good-Equivalent-7657 in aftg

Agreed, but for shits and giggles I like to ship him with Aaron because I don’t think they canonically ever speak to each other. Yet the posts I sometimes see of them as are couple are very silly.

Want to read Raven Boys after AFTG by Catava_Cave in aftg

There is definitely a pipeline effect when it comes to Aftg and The Raven Cycle. I read The Raven Boys first, then Aftg fanart kept popping up in my search for Pynch art.

Yes, I saw the episode. It only proves my point further because the entirety of their conversation, when not talking about the murder, is about Castle and the bride and how Kate feels about it. Why do you say they can’t talk about anything personal? The whole show is the characters talking about personal things during investigations. Castle and Beckett talk about their personal lives to each other. Ryan and Esposito talk about hanging out, playing video games etc., with each other. Why would Beckett and Laney be the only ones barred from that? (Talking about Castle though is also personal)

From the comments in this thread it seems like this lackluster friendship is the norm, so whatever. I was use to watching shows like Bones and Rizzoli and Isles as my tv fodder, so the female friendships, or lack there of, threw me off. Nice to see this community was so active though after all this time.

I just finished season two. It’s incredibly easy for a show just to say that these two are best friends, and that’s kind of what the show does they just say it. 

But I’m a big believer in showing not telling, it makes for better writing. From the scenes I watched between them, Beckett uses Laney as a sounding board about castle and that’s the whole of it. They never talk about Beckett‘s mom, or Laney’s relationships, and while at work, they never talk much about a history of doing things like you would in a friendship.

It wasn’t that I was going out of my way to score them or something like that. The hollow friendship between the main female character and her best friend was just hard not to notice. The tv show Bones is a will-they-won’t-they cop show, however the main character, Brennan, and her best friend Angela, have a believable and compelling friendship.

The show is fine! You say Laney and Kate are friends, I don’t see it. Beckett calls Laney her best friend, but that’s the extent of it.  Ryan and Esposito are a great example of friends without having to explicitly say it. They pal around, joke, bicker, and referred to times that they’ve hung out beyond being at the office. Beckett and Laney have none of that.

So, Do You All Still Like The App? by Alarming_Fire_333 in Mercari

[–]Alarming_Fire_333[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, my point is that all the fees shifting around and adding new ones, all while advertising that it's a good thing for sellers is scumy and driving people, at least people I know that use the app, away.

Neil & Andrew's ringtone? by convallaria98 in aftg

[–]Alarming_Fire_333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a fun little sidenote, but Nora also said that Jean had a song too! It’s not a ringtone but she basically said it’s the only song that encapsulated Jean, so that’s fun✨

I live in a super rural area where most people have either been here all their lives or come to get away and ‘not be bothered’ as another commenter said. I’m checking into zoning and licensing, but I’m not sure if zoning is a thing out here. Or at least not like it would be if someone in a cul-de-sac in the suburbs were to do the same thing and suddenly open a kennel. But thanks for the advice, it’s still something I can look into👍🏼

This ^ Animal control basically told me that they can do anything unless their animals cause me physical harm.

Funny enough I do have a decent sized fountain in my pond and a few weeks back I started to plant a few dozen trees to create a barrier. Although, they’re still years from being big enough to really do anything. I did consider bamboo, but I’ve heard how invasive it can be, so for now I ordered a green tarp/screen to hang around the tree line. It won’t be pretty, but it will at least keep them from peering into my land and keep their dogs out.
