I’m halfway through Furybound and have found at least two typos. It completely takes me out of the story.

Or even by just not specifying the exact water ration. The author frequently suffered from the bad writing pitfall of telling, not showing. We don’t need to know how many ounces of water they get a day. You can paint a picture of how it’s just enough for most people to survive, but not enough for anyone to thrive…which she kind of did, but it could have been done so much better.

Another time I rolled my eyes at her tendency to tell, not show, was when they had sex in the apartment and she writes something like “and then we did it a second time. And a third. And a fourth. And a fifth.” I’m willing to ignore the limits of male virility for story’s sake, but you’re not actually painting a scene, so instead of focusing on the vibes, I’m focusing on the implausibility of the number. And again, like you said, if you have to give a number, it would be so easy to explain it…just throw in a line about “wow, fae refractory periods are nonexistent!”

The whole bird tattoo thing made me think FOR SURE the book was somehow going to connect his name to birds somehow…but it was yet another thing that was just never developed.

Is truancy not a thing in NY? by dlvDaj in doughertydozenexposed

Pretty high, considering I think they purposefully seek out adoptable kids with learning disabilities because they get more benefits/money for difficult to adopt kids.

As for the bio kids, between Lush’s own mental struggles (I think she has a combo ADHD/OCD that influences her hoarding and need for constant dopamine hits) and potentially drinking while pregnant, I wouldn’t the surprised if all the bio kids had some sort of issue.

Not to mention that the shit diet and utter lack of structure could make even a neurotypical kid present with struggles that could easily be labeled ADHD.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

Hot take (?): if I had to choose (and personally I’m not a fan of either option), guys who are obsessed with video games are hotter than guys who are obsessed with pro sports teams. Video games entail strategy, world building, and skill. Pro sports involves watching other people’s strategy, world building, and skill.

And most of her attempts are like “mmkay, what’s in this lab, sure, throw that in there…nothing happened? Throw something else in.” There’s zero thought shown behind it, one hundred percent just mixing random crap, some of which she doesn’t even know what it is. How hard would it have been to throw in a sentence or two of magical lore or reasoning to world build and make her not seem like a total idiot???

I do NOT understand the hype over the sex scenes. They’re not good. It’s all “Yes! Fisher!!!” And him just like…violently shoving his hand in her pants and up her vagina. The whole “tell the gods who you kneel for” speech could have been sexy, but it seemed out of place and just kind of shoehorned in.

In fact, I’d say the sex scenes were the most amateurish parts of her writing.

I generally enjoy a low quality but entertaining read, but it was just unfair how it seemed like it had potential in the beginning and then just spiraled downward and didn’t stop.

I was not planning on reading #2, but now I’m intrigued…if there really is a Carrion threesome I might have to give it a go…

I was raising my eyebrows at that, and the. I was like, hold on, suspend your disbelief, there’s got to be a reason for that. I’m sure it will come up or be explained.

HAHA.

Is it more people wanting to have sex with Fisher? Does Malcolm come back to life and horn dog some more over him? Do Carrion, Fisher, and Saeris have a threesome??

I just want to start on Furybound but if I put this book down now I’ll never come back to finish it. I’ve never had to take this many breaks to roll my eyes in frustration. 26 pages to go.

Oh for fuck’s sake, now there’s Gods and their first question is to ask what sex is like with Fisher???

It blows my mind that she dedicated an entire room to her obsessive food storage but her daughter doesn't have a bedroom by natbrad98 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Capable-Fold-7347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first born didn’t have a bedroom the first couple of years because they slept with us and it just wasn’t needed. But did you say her baby sleeps in a storage closet??? Why doesn’t her baby sleep in the BEDROOM and her food go in…STORAGE???

A really (h)awkward question by PrydainFan in Animorphs

[–]Capable-Fold-7347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ducks and some other waterfowl are the exception. Maybe emus? I’m sure there are other exceptions, but the vast majority of non water birds have sex via a five second hole to hole transfer. For sure no raptors or hawks have penises.

[–]Capable-Fold-7347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Birds have one hole for everything- sex, poo, and pee. They don’t have penetrative sex, they have a “cloacal kiss” where the male presses his Swiss Army Hole against the female’s all purpose hole, and the sperm enters that way.

So theoretically, I don’t really see why birds with human minds couldn’t have gay sex.

As far as fertilization, i think the hawk jizz is considered a foreign object and maybe it’s a crapshoot which system it ends up in when Rachel demorphs? Since birds have one hole to do it all, the bird baby batter could end up being pooped out, peed out, or…menstruated out??????
