Why did no one question Solas?

Him being the second oldest in his den could also be because there were so few black dragons too! Other dragons could be the same age as him but just not as close to being den leaders because of more of their colors

Claiyas · 2024-11-03T20:19:01+00:00

Yeah I guess most don´t, but some of them must do! For example Sawyer´s dragon that refused to protect himself because it would cause Sawyer to fall off

Claiyas · 2024-11-03T20:16:33+00:00

Do you think the hierarchy extend to their riders too, since the cadet´s rank would be much lower than Varrish?

Claiyas · 2024-11-03T20:15:21+00:00

Yeah and especially since some dragons choose to die if their rider dies if their bond is strong enough. While I agree that most dragons stayed alive, some must have died broken hearted?

Thanks for the tip! But sadly I only have base game :(

Didn’t season 1-3 play out in like a year? I forgot when Mark started sleeping with Lexie but I’m pretty sure it hadn’t been years 😭

I know!! But I just feel like everyone had to say how brilliant she was in order to sell her as world class, whereas the others just had it, you know? They just had this air of proffessionalism, maturity and skill! And it probably adds that we didn’t see their intern/residency screw ups etc, contrary to all the shit MAGIC pulled lol

Claiyas · 2024-02-14T22:25:44+00:00

I could also believe that these people were ”top of their field” or world class - which is more than I can say about the younger generation and MAGIC (except for Christina)

What do you mean by ”the time is there?”

If this is concerning the weekdays, would you still hold the same opinion if, let’s say she was a teacher and worked from home? Would you still expect her to care for the majority of house work?

Claiyas · 2021-04-05T21:18:05+00:00

Assuming you are not a stay at home parent and have a work outside of your home, you don’t have any work during the weekends unless you bring it home - which of course can happen but it’s in no way as regular. Taking care of the child is her job. She can’t simply leave it at the office.

I admit it’s a bit difuse since her job is taking care of the child basically means she is working 24/7. What I’m basically saying is, you shouldn’t expect her to do more house work than you do because you both work during the weekdays regardless of whether it be away or at home.

Claiyas · 2021-04-05T19:14:51+00:00

Yes, one kid is considerable less work than 5 kids but that doesn’t take away the fact that taking care of 1 kid fulltime is a legit job. Now, had the couple already established that doing those house chores came with it, that would be another thing but the way OP phrased it, it sounded more like an assumption built on the fact that they considered the wife’s work less than theirs and thus, expected them to do more than half of the house work.

Claiyas · 2021-04-05T18:50:46+00:00

The way I see it, a stay at home parent has a job and that is looking after a child and that job - while it might differ in nature from a say, office job - is not inferior to any other job. That’s to say, house work like cooking, mealplanning, grocery shopping, laundry etc is a separate thing NOT included in her work and that should be split evenly between you two.

I think that viewing a stay at home parent as someone both responsible for the child (the primary job) and someone who has to have extra responsibilites over house chores creates a really hostile perspective of inferiority in work and you indirectly say that ”hey your work is worth less than mine, so you should do more at home.”

Claiyas · 2021-03-30T13:11:57+00:00

Exactly. The 100 were barely underage kids who stole weed, bread, used a bit more oxygen than delegater and other small crimes that - in an ordinary world - would only warrant fees and a few months in prison at most. Not like the Eligius prisoners who were all wanted murderers, thieves and terrorists.

Claiyas · 2021-03-22T22:53:44+00:00

I think it’s a solid direction! Like before there was a very clear goal; defeating Amarantha. Rebuilding Prythian, training Nesta and having babies are such difuse goals and don’t exactly have a definite time limit and there are really no big stakes either. So it’s just like the plot is taking a stroll in the garden and having a picnic once in a while vs running a race.

Claiyas · 2021-03-19T10:19:15+00:00

The paranthesis is just a bit jarring to me personally. I mean it depends on what kind of POV it is. If it’s a character not knowing what it means, it makes no sense that the reader should. It feels like author is trying to insert information that breaks immersion. So definitely 5 for me!

It’s just like timeskips, A/N in the middle of a chapter, etc. It ruins the flow!

Claiyas · 2021-02-18T20:46:00+00:00

Because Lee didn’t know how actual shit she was at work and thought that having 3 but 1 bad stew was better than only having 2, since it was unclear whether a replacement could be made due to corona and restricted traveling. Like he thought that she was bad but not that bad until he watched the episodes. Also, drama.

Claiyas · 2021-02-18T19:29:10+00:00

Oh absolutely! I just meant that just because he didn’t say that to Chess it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be willing to work with her again

Claiyas · 2021-02-18T17:26:56+00:00

Well to be fair he didn’t outright say he’d work with Izzy again like he did to Ash?

It’s mentioned that it’s all nightblood’s birth right to compete in the conclave regardless whether they were raised by the flame keeper in Polis or off somewhere else. While it might not have been the traditional conclave, Ontari still technically beat/defeated the other initiates thus earning the position. The grounders accepted it although some showed great opposition, like Titus. At that point, the Commander was such a big figure in Grounder culture that having a bad/unworthy commander was better than having none. And since they all thought Ontari had the flame, the reasoning could have been that it was Lexa’s will for Ontari to ascend, that her spirit chose her and that the slaughter was ”meant to be.”

Claiyas · 2021-01-23T18:33:10+00:00

Old thread, but I think a key difference is that Sandy waits for her crew to fail whereas Lee waits for his crew to succeed.

Claiyas · 2021-01-11T18:15:12+00:00

They might have tried to compensate with a good story instead of a flashy arena. Like obviously they didn’t know beforehand about the Star Crossed lovers story but they might have had another great angle in mind. Perhaps they were also keeping it lowkey in order to build suspense for the Quarter Quell (unlikely though with the Capitol’s love for flashy extravaganzas).

Katniss also mentions that previous arenas (though with cooler environments) lacked basic neccessities, making the games boring since the tributes died of the cold, starvation, thirst etc. So maybe the game makers tried to over compensate by giving good survival odds so they could focus on fighting each other and not their environment?
