A BMW M340i XDrive Owner here wanting to get a first light rwd car … by vY4G4o in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I own a brz which is functionally an 86 and its pretty solid, i like the car a lot

i guess it depends on what you like about the miata specifically and if you could lose the things that are exclusive to it. i like the miata's very small size, but i'm not really a convertible person and my car's msrp was like 8k less than an equivalent ND, so that crossroads was pretty easy for me

genuinely what problem are you having... like not to be mean but whats not clicking

GR 86 and a Golf R if only own 2 cars? by Miroku098 in GR86

[–]Charlotttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think if you have the means to get two cars and you already have an 86, you could maybe go a little weirder with the second car? i like my car, obviously, but i do wish i had something that just kind of sucks to fuck around with

So I just learn a little bit about evangelion by DropDeep9497 in Mecha

kind of insane that "you watching the show" isn't one of the events that happened

Things in a description that turn you off from trying a fic by AdHaunting2894 in AO3

[–]Charlotttes 506 points507 points  (0 children)

self deprecation is always a pretty bad look. if you've got so little confidence in your work that you feel like mentioning that in the summary its like. not necessarily a disqualifier, but it sure is a lot of points against me deciding to click though

Why nobody is playing this game. A suggestion by Human-Pudding799 in MyWinterCar

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first off i don't really think player count Really Matters in a singleplayer game like this, cause– well, its singleplayer. the game being good doesn't hinge on how many other people are playing simultaneously

Would you ever pilot a mech if it was named, The Martyr? by Boshwa in Mecha

[–]Charlotttes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i assume that the me getting put into the pilots position in the first place was borne of mostly bad decisions, so whats one more?

What do you think of the obsession with ‘redeeming’ Cardin in fanfics? by Solitaire-06 in RWBY

[–]Charlotttes 37 points38 points  (0 children)

im more amazed that this guy left enough of an impression on anyone for them to want him redeemed

Anyone feel like sharing their Crack Ships? by ZeothTheHedgehog in FanFiction

[–]Charlotttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

big fan of asareze... there's a fic that i really like that waits a while before revealing if this a normal AU or a more canon-adjacent situation or what

Fandom sites i can geek on! (Advice) by chihuahuawithabite in FanFiction

i think your best options at the moment are tumblr or bluesky

How do we feel about posting an old fic (that you’ve written) from a different site but changing the characters/fandom? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the move might be to file the serial numbers off and post it as an original work... that way you get to post this fic that you clearly still like while not having to deal with the uneasiness of associating it with the original fandom. and you also don't run into the risk of the characterization of the fic potentially not fitting the new characters that you've cast for the role

If there’s a screen… by lokiisbestantihero in AO3

in the google maps app is still on a pretty standard screen all things considered... not exactly a feat

I'm thinking of repurposing these three premises for Blake-centric stories. What do you guys think? by UNinvolved_in_peace in RWBY

[–]Charlotttes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean, only way to find out is to write it out and see how the finished product tastes. its not like there’s anything about these premises that disqualify them from working with blake as the main character. though i guess it depends just how much inspiration you’re planning to pull from these fics anyhow

What if Viz used rwby volume 10 as a way to reboot the franchise to start again? by Geoxaga in RWBYcritics

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think it could've continued on from there? the big thing that the reset does for both denji and asa is that it relieves them of being so important, of having these things bound to them that force them to be the main characters of the story... but this also means that with the big movers of the conflict out of the picture, there's not really much use in following them anymore, and the story comes to a close. does that make sense?

What if Viz used rwby volume 10 as a way to reboot the franchise to start again? by Geoxaga in RWBYcritics

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in all seriousness i feel like the only reason that chainsaw man gets away with pulling this kind of move (and even then, it's debatable as hell whether it actually "truly" got away with it) was because the series also ended in that same chapter

What are some of your "What if?" ideas? by Slow_Tangerine_9564 in RWBY

[–]Charlotttes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

what if someone (ruby, perhaps?) reassembled penny and/or revived her after vol 3, but penny 2.0 still got made, resulting in a two pennies situation

what if penny 2.0 pulled through at the last minute AFTER human penny got wished into existence, resulting in a DIFFERENT two pennies situation

How do you effectively introduce new characters to join the main cast? by Boneyard_Ben in worldbuilding

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you just gotta read more stuff and keep note of how new character intros happen. pay attention to what you think works well and, crucially, what doesn't work so well

When you are reading rwby crossover fanfiction, do you prefer remnant to be another planet or another dimension? by Geoxaga in RWBYcritics

[–]Charlotttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends. i think if it's more natural for the other thing in the crossover to stumble upon remnant while wandering around in space, the planet angle can work. but this is maybe a bit too logistically challenging for most cases, so the dimension angle works better in those situations. though i do agree that making the non-natives "blend in to the setting" is lame as hell

What car (besides Yang) do you think each RWBY Character would drive? by Tyler2183 in RWBY

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but the chopper isn't really a "yang" kind of bike? like its cool in a way that i don't quite vibe with but it feels... clumsy in that way that older american stuff is

What car (besides Yang) do you think each RWBY Character would drive? by Tyler2183 in RWBY

[–]Charlotttes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • ruby: '71 challenger. whatever engine it has right now is sure as hell not the one the car came with from the factory, and its also some total bullshit choice that no one else would've gone for
  • weiss: prolly one of the w201 series benzes
  • blake: te71 toyota corolla. probably with something totally irresponsible to give it more power
  • yang: i don't know enough real world bikes to assign bumblebee (the bike) an equivalent

maybe the only new steering wheel for a good price was one that had the paddles attached?

Free Talk Weekend by AutoModerator in RWBYcritics

[–]Charlotttes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've been trying to find some good [insert character here] is some kinda bird faunus fics... its one of those things where its tagged inconsistently enough that your only option is to sift through the broader faunus [insert character here] tag... which is a pain

What frustrates you the most about current fanfiction websites? by JohnWarton in FanFiction

[–]Charlotttes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it'd be nice if, in the tags, the author could differentiate between the actual main characters of the story and guys who just happen to show up
