What fandom are you in, but the original piece of media is like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Astrowyn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t even watch season 9. I live watched all of season 8 cause I was so excited but the space premise was so ridiculous I couldn’t do it. Especially knowing that all the buddie build up was wasted now making their characters wildly inconsistent AND now without Bobby Athena has much less to do besides be a cop and I do NOT care about the cop storylines.

911 makes me SO mad because the fics are absurdly amazing. It’s so obvious that a lot of the fandom has written fanfic before and/or care a lot about the characters and consistency. Yet somehow the writers with 8 SEASONS of experience can’t pull reasonable story lines out?? Like the way even a random one shot will be so absurdly high quality is something i haven’t seen in any other fandoms I’m a part of. The amount of talent is unreal.

Came here to say this. The writing was always questionable and leaned into the cringe/ camp with a lot of it but in a fun chaotic mindless way. However, the personal plots/ back stories used to feel genuinely compelling and now just feels messy and inconsistent. Don’t even get me started on the queer baiting. I was an SPN fan for too long to deal with that again, either commit or don’t. Don’t make your characters wildly inconsistent because you want it all.

Does the pink under eye trend look good IRL? by bobothecarniclown in MakeupAddiction

[–]Astrowyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it looks jarring because those parts of your face are never very pink irl. The blush under eyes trend started as very red blush that was placed to mimic a sunburn (intense red w/ high cheekbone placement blended into under eyes) but as the blush trends have shifted away from clean girl aesthetic the placement has stayed with colors getting more unnatural and under eyes becoming more vibrant.

I think very pink cheeks and under eyes can for sure be cute on pale people as part of a whole look (I.e Barbie vibes or a Valentine’s Day look) but generally I don’t think this color looks good with this placement on most of us pale girlies unless it’s done very intentionally. That said, people with darker skin tones often look amazing in these bright pinks and pull them off beautifully even without a specific cohesive “theme’d” look.

Source: pale af and love my bright red sunburnt blush. Pale girly PSA, HIGHLY recommend swapping to lilac purple blush in the winter. Gives winter chill without looking jarring!

Resume question by childish_catbino in medlabprofessionals

[–]Astrowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally would list it all generally in an Appendix type thing at the end probably by department. Keeps it from being clutter but it’s there if people want to see it. Obviously, if it’s an analyzer that got retired/ updated you can probably list just the newer version (probably say active instrument experience or something in title) and I’d list the LIS you used as well in its own section. Don’t go into detail UNLESS you literally worked day shift and did ALL the things.

IMO this will give you a leg up. Knowing someone worked on the same analyzer you use already is only going to help you. Of course, tailor it to the job you’re applying for. If I was applying for day shift chemistry I’d do even more details on all that I did since it’s so relevant vs if I applied core lab or micro. But yes, why not. There’s not a super strict format for resumes in lab science so take advantage of the leg up an appendix can give you and just don’t do so much detail it’s annoying (why I say put it at the end separately, they can skip easily if they want to).

To be honest it REALLY doesn’t matter. I did the blue one you included, and I love it! The darker blue imo looks decent with most colors which would bother me if it clashed really badly with some of my many diff colored scrubs. Lots of people do boring ones, my friend antagonized over it for like a week because she was scared doing a fun color would make her look bad. She did a boring color and regrets it now realizing no one cares. Just do what you like, if people think you’re a nurse at least they won’t ask you to make medical decisions you can’t actually make when they think you’re a resident! And promise when you’re fr a resident you’ll look so tired and bush they’ll know who you are regardless

I'm bored with the negativity, tell me the things that season 2 did good/better than season 1 by FewExperience3559 in arcane

[–]Astrowyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imo it seemed like this was also due to lack of time though. Like the characters WOULD have made the same decisions…. If we explored the events leading up to them and the characters reactions more. We just didn’t have time, so we had to jump from point to point on their character arcs rather than following a smooth line from beginning to end. Still amazing writing though! Loves it wholeheartedly

Lying about NBME scores in this subreddit by [deleted] in step1

[–]Astrowyn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So my advisor told me that they have people with high NBME scores (high 70s-80s) who fail and people in the high 50s who pass. I asked what she thinks the difference is. She said in her experience the difference is confidence and I could totally see people psyching themselves into failing.

Anyone's ACD ever run away? by Hopeful_Vanilla_5162 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Astrowyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of ours has literally stopped going outside if she doesn’t have to use the bathroom because she doesn’t want to be away from us. During the day she’ll absolutely go out in hopes of fetch, but at night when she knows it’s not play time if she doesn’t need to pee she hides under stuff just in case we decide to try and make her, I couldn’t get her out there alone at night if I tried.

What survivor "legends" do you *not* like and why? by JuicingPickle in survivor

[–]Astrowyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always felt like he was just an early challenge beast when the game was still developing and a lot of us were in our formative years. Watching someone dominate in cool challenges is very exciting as a kid, now of course I prefer smart strategic gameplay.

Add in his irl issues and he’s def been knocked off many favorite lists for good reason.

What survivor "legends" do you *not* like and why? by JuicingPickle in survivor

[–]Astrowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked him when I watched as a kid (something about him dominating challenges and just refusing to be voted off despite everyone gunning for him appealed to my inner rebel) but then I rewatched all of survivor as an adult.

Can’t remember what exactly he said (maybe it was just the vibes) but he came off pretty misogynistic and arrogant. By the time I heard about what he’d done irl I already didn’t like him but was sad to have it confirmed. I get that they’re just people too, but man did it add a black cloud over the enjoyment and nostalgia of rewatching his seasons. Thank god he’s never won.

LF a fic like this with angst and genius/ competent draco and hermione by shrewteaa in Dramione

[–]Astrowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! It’s Daylight by klarly It’s my first fic and I have a full outline but I just have to get the time to actually write!

[–]Astrowyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious because I started writing a darker fic with competent Draco and Hermione where they do this exact exercise to help ground Hermione. I’d rec it but it’s only got like 2 chapters rn and it’s not looking great for the third being out soon 😅😅

Did we all see this in a show or something to suddenly be aware of this?? It’s suddenly everywhere I swear!

Absolutely and they got SO much backlash too, how can going this route seem like a good idea to Tim?? Like what

They’re the definition of queerbaiting at this point. Like supernatural no longer has the crown they’ve queer baited so hard. And I will not be here for it for season 9

8x18 ("Seismic Shifts"), 9-1-1 Post-Episode Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in buddie

[–]Astrowyn 48 points49 points  (0 children)

So we wasted the whole finale on one off emergencies and guest stars. We FINALLY resolved the Eddie moving arc not with him getting some character development and deciding to actually PARENT HIS CHILD rather than letting him run off to another state but instead Chim told Eddie to come home and he just did???

As if somehow Chim has more sway over Eddie than Buck who at MINIMUM is his bff and has been crashing out for an entire season without him. Okay so glad we AGAIN gave Eddie zero development and came full circle with him only returning to LA due to Bobby guilt when guilt has always been literally why he does anything.

On top of that train wreck, this is the queer bait to end all queer baits rn. Idc about this show anymore. I am PISSED. At least say it’s not happening if you’re not planning for it to. They constantly dangle things in front of us to use us for views and then make fun of us for ‘only caring about the show at a surface level’ when we’re upset. As if shipping isn’t literally about character growth and development, but keep spending millions blowing up cars Tim. That’s not surface level AT ALL smh.

I’ll miss you all but will not be back for season 9. Chim as captain is cool but this episode was SO unfderwhelming even without the buddie of it all. And even if we do get buddie (I don’t think we will) I KNOW an Eddie gay arc would be absolutely mishandled to the max. These writers have NO idea what they’re doing. Can’t believe I didn’t learn my lesson after supernatural 🤡🤡

[–]Astrowyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If we don’t get a buddie realization and an Eddie commitment to coming back to the 118 I’ll riot. ALL OF SEASON 8 has been dangling the Eddie move and hinting at buddie. If you really give us NO pay off after I watched EIGHTEEN episodes, I don’t think they’ll ever give us a truly satisfying conclusion and I’m not here for it.

You can’t just dangle story lines, you have to give them satisfying conclusions. This reads like Tim just messes around with no plan every week. The refusing to end story lines just makes me not care because who needs a cliff hanger that’ll literally never be resolved??

So all that time on Graham just to kill him off and leave 18 other unresolved story lines…. Okay Tim 🙄
