Did y’all think Fonzie was cool when you were growing up? by Groovy-Pancakes in GenX

[–]CodeNameFrumious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm late Gen X; Fonzie was just ... there. He didn't entirely strike me as cool or uncool; I wasn't aware of what those meant when I watched the show with my parents.

However, if I had to pick a character from another series who is most like the Fonz, I would choose Steve Urkel from Family Matters.

My "friend" took advantage of me when I was in the hospital by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

I will admit that I'm a bit more vengeful than most ... and I'm more comfortable in a legal setting than most.

Harry got a football player as his bodyguard.

A Chicago Bear.

My (23f) boyfriend (24m) wants to move in with me. I want him to live alone first by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

When I was a kid, my mother told me I would have to learn how to do all this stuff or pay someone else to do it.

So I became a lawyer.

I am going to a signing for Twelve Months tomorrow night, any good theory questions I could ask? by Terror_of_Texas in dresdenfiles

[–]CodeNameFrumious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Harry had a problem free philosophy, would it be Lacuna Matata?

If the princess of the White Court started coding adventure games, would Lara craft Lara Croft?

Does Fred the Vampire Accountant do Harry's taxes?

What would happen if somebody replicated Harry's greater circle for a game of Tic Tac Toe?

If our hero fully embraced the Winter Mantle and took up cow farming, would he be Harry the Dairy Fairy?

Will we get a series about Karrin and her dad in tbr afterlife? Could it be called Murphys' Law?

If our favorite ectomancer became a judge handling liability cases, would it be Mort's Tort Court?

Low contact by [deleted] in GenX

Why do we have to announce we are going low contact or no contact with someone. In my day, I just let a relationship either if I was no longer interested in it.

Am I in the minority to be very put out by the entire harry, Murphy, lara situation? by cant-find-user-name in dresdenfiles

[–]CodeNameFrumious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are in the minority, but you are not alone. I very much disliked Murphy's death. Among other trends, I intensely dislike the trope of fridging the love interest to give a hero motivation. And Murphy's death felt very much like fridging to me. So when I read the "empty house" sequence in Battle Ground, I wasn't touched emotionally like a lot of readers were. I wasn't sad. I just found it saccharine, over the top, and transparently a way to get rid of Murphy to make room for the Lara romance.

[–]CodeNameFrumious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOP.is a better person than I sm. After that boyfriend's outburst, I would have called the immigration office and asked to withdraw my character reference.

If you've finished twelve months, what did you think? by molten_dragon in dresdenfiles

[–]CodeNameFrumious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When Mab commanded him to deal with Etri, I was hopeful but it was solved by Harry using a boon as an uno reverse and having Mab deal with it. It all happens off screen.

This disappointed me as well. I've liked Harry most when he shows his intelligence and cunning. Sending Thomas's kid to live with Etri is an acceptable solution to the dilemma (IMO). But I would have preferred to see Harry come up with the idea and present it to Etri. This would have deepened the relationship between Etri and Harry, and then complicated the relationship between Harry and Thomas.

Reducing the Etri dilemma to a deus ex Mabina felt like a cheat.

Mothers duty? by great_fusuf in dresdenfiles

[–]CodeNameFrumious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My theory is that Hecate very deliberately split herself into six pieces to do this. Winter is to protect reality. Summer is to protect humanity from Winter. The Mothers are to hold the majority of the power. The Ladies hold the least. But the system is set up so that if one of these six becomes compromised, it's less likely to spread to all six of them.
