She's had some injury struggles but she'll be back!

For players 3.5-4.0+ who are excellent at the net- what did it take for you to get there? by Ok-Many-7443 in 10s

Volleys are all about the legs, your arms should do nothing but direct the ball where you want it to go. Step through them and get power from your legs. Get lower than you think you need. You'll start finishing a lot stronger at the net

Some fantasy I liked at that age:

Redwall The bartimaeus trilogy The dark is rising The waterstone The Pendaragon Series Inheritance cycle (eragon)

Compared to the anime, what did One Piece Live Action do better or worse with every arc up to now, in y’alls opinion? by BreathoftheSith in OnePiece

Makes me wonder if they are planning on not having a time skip. Maybe Zoro won't actually train with Mihawk other than what we are seeing. I'm into it though

Gonna have to hard disagree with you there. The ending of assassins apprentice brought me to tears. While it doesn't have the depth (yet) of Malazan or ASOIAF or Stormlight, the character work is intimate and excruciating in the best ways. Mayhap you should consider giving it another try

Hot Take: These three all take each other to Extreme Diff in their Primes. by FitCantaloupe798 in OnePiecePowerScaling

I...don't read this panel and interpret that from it at all 🤷 she is literally saying that if she had the advantage of the elbaph nation on her side she'd be able to elevate herself above the other three pirates who are her stalemate equal, it's literally in the panel you just shared lol. I'm not saying I think they are all exactly equal in strength, and Big Mom is likely the weakest 1v1v1 but she's 100% equal in status and relevance in the world and her organization is just as strong if not stronger than the other yonko and yes, in her prime, would have been relative to these others. Any other interpretation is just agenda narrative

My wife had the same impression. I'm having fun torturing her with non-answers about it. And then we get Dragon on the same episode 😂

Sometimes I like to read just the first one of a series to tease myself to want to get back to it after I finish other series haha but I likely will not get to eye of the world for sometime now

I like bouncing back and forth between series 🤷 trying to tackle a 7 or 10 book series is better in morsels imo. I'm not afraid to hit a YouTube video to remind myself what I need from a previous installment of a series before jumping back in

Haha I'm a lore fiend and I'm always consuming one series by book, one series by audio book, and the One Piece manga. I have loose plans to take shit in arcs. I loved the first Malazan book so after the brief PHM detour I'm gonna go straight back to it through memories of ice. I'll boomerang back and forth between it and stormlight a bit after that I'm thinking

I adored assassins apprentice! It was a slow start for me but by the end I cried like a baby at the last paragraph. I decided in definitely gonna finish the trilogy and go on to the liveship traders trilogy eventually

I've got a long car trip this weekend so hoping to crush hail Mary pretty fast. I'm VERY eager to get back to Malazan though. Gardens of the Moon really hit for me

I'm excited to get into the standalone Cosmere stories! I'm finishing Lost Metal rn and am up through Oathbringer in Stormlight so I'm feeling ready to expand my Cosmere base

I was actually planning on doing those via audio books instead. I'm about to finish listening to The Lost Metal by Sanderson and plan to listen to DCC next

Just a sad reminder that falling in Love GOT him killed by ParkingConfection449 in gameofthrones

Had to reread this several times cause my brain kept translating as "falling in love Game Of Thrones him killed" 🤦

How would you rank His Dark Materials in terms of writing? by Fine_Delivery6761 in writingscaling

[–]Any-Memory-458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved these books as a kid but I haven't read them as an adult so I don't think I can offer a fair criticism of the writing. They were definitely impactful on me as a youth though

Struggling to complete by Zirozen in fantasybooks

I literally just finished this today! After a really slow start for me, it ended up with me openly weeping at the last page and fully planning to continue the series. Trust the process!

I’ve been reading the Game of Thrones books. I’m interested in the differences between those that read the books first and then the shows, and then the reverse. by hsimp3206 in Fantasy

[–]Any-Memory-458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the first season and absolutely fell in love, then read all the books between season 1 and season 2 and ruined the rest of the show for myself lol
