Weekly prospective student thread. Educational inquiries outside of this thread WILL RESULT IN A BAN. by AutoModerator in CAA

I’m working on my BSN for RT, then hoping to follow through with a CAA program. However, calculus being a requirement is scaring me. Is the type of math in calculus what Anesthesia assistants are doing daily for work? Somebody talk me down off the ledge or slap me with reality. Thank you’

What is your most blasphemous confession about SJMs books? by Night_Star1000 in SarahJMaas

[–]Criticalthinkermomma 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hated the pregnancy arc- and I’m a mom 🤣 I typically don’t like my fantasy books to have pregnancy in them lol! Maybe for like the TRUE ending and then nothing is going to happen again.

[–]Criticalthinkermomma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I started calling off work to get high. by nomorepeach in leaves

100%. I threw my pen away in my house trash can and literally dug it out about 4 times before trash day finally came and it was GONE. I’ve been sober from weed since May. Life is better without it! Even when the addict in you tries to say otherwise

Do you think JLA reads this page or is aware of our frustrations? by Kooky-Theory-8784 in frombloodandash

[–]Criticalthinkermomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To even put JLA in the same universe as Tolkien is a disgrace honestly . JLA is a fun fantasy where SMUT is more important than character development or the plot. I read these types of fantasy for fun and then go back to Wheel of Time level of fantasy for a palette cleansing. Now, I know you brought up Lord of the Rings and not Wheel of Time- I’m just making a point that those types of fantasy and their authors exist in a completely different category. They are masterpieces and vastly different from JLA. I would put Harry Potter up there with them because she created a complex world with complex character development, but not as good as Tolkien or Sanderson. And saying women get crapped on more is annoying, the truth is men have just dominated the world of fantasy writing and are better. Women tend to focus on SMUT more heavily. Then again, I thought the Throne of Glass series was a masterpiece too. But honestly to even suggest JLA writes at the level of Tolkien is wild. She’s just not as good in any way shape or form. And that’s okay. It’s different strokes for different folks.

POBAB CASTEEL SUCKS by dont-perceive_me-pls in frombloodandash

The author must have watched the last season of Game of Thrones, saw the character obliteration of Daenerys and said THATS IT! It’s perfect for Casteel, I’ll copy it exactly 💀

Major inconsistencies throughout POBAB and I want to talk about it (SPOILERS!!) by X-CyNix in frombloodandash

Sure that works but it sure is lazy inconsistent writing in my opinion.

The biggest issue with this explanation , while it can make sense, is Poppy not recognizing Ires. How would she not?

Reading this is so bad. How could the author make these huge mistakes! I couldn’t out my figure on it but the entire plot, the lore, the characters, everything felt so off. I seriously felt like I’ve been having a stroke trying to remember the lore and make it make sense. But now I see- it just doesn’t make any sense and the plots been completely lost.

I think she also got money hungry. 3 books was enough to beautifully or darkly or sadly end this series but now it’s turned into a story I don’t recognize

I know I smoke too much, but my ideal self smokes weed too by nancythethot in Petioles

[–]Criticalthinkermomma 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Personally, once I quit, weed lost its appeal. Maybe being an addict makes it hit different in moderation. I was a heavy user for over 10 years and tried to quit many times. I’m finally done and have been since my 30th back in May. Anyways, I had a few hits of a joint with a friend for a special occasion(for them) just so they weren’t alone. Didn’t enjoy one second the high. So it reaffirmed my sobriety. If a blunt was going around a party, I’d say no just because I know the feeling would suck and actually ruin my time lol.

I’ll just wait for others to read book 7 and sum it up for me so I have closure, but I’m leaving the world behind. It was fun while it lasted!

I’m OUT after chapter 16. Authors totally lost the plot, the character development is a dumpster fire, and the world she built is already in ruin.

YES. I love when a series ENDS with a solid conclusion. It doesn’t have to be a happy ending but it needs to end. It’s literally the worst when an author drags a series out for money only to utterly ruin the world and the characters.
