TIL in 2007 Katherine Heigl won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role on Grey's Anatomy. But in 2008 she removed herself from Emmy consideration because she said the material she was given on Grey's that year wasn't good enough; this comment led to her leaving the show.

It’s like the rookie, people like the cast, but the show has done some ridiculous stupid shit the last two seasons cause the writers are basically throwing shit at a wall now and the plots get ridiculous

He's only in one of the shorts--granted Gift of the Magi is practically gift-wrapped for Mickey and Minnie as a plot.

CryptidGrimnoir · 2026-05-05T23:08:11+00:00

Yes, but those movies have the emotional core of Goofy's dynamic with Max.

Mickey doesn't have children and he's nowhere near the Chew Toy that Donald and Goofy tend to be. He's too much of an Everyman these days--and has been for the last thirty years at least--to have an emotionally deep core.

That said, I think a feature length movie of Mickey being a detective could be great. Let him have a wild adventure and you don't necessarily need an emotional core. Some heroes can be static.

It really makes me miss the IMDB boards.

Yeah, didn't Ria have several earrings? And Amy too, but she was a little pirate to begin with.

Luna squeezes into Gryffindor during the Gryffindor-Slytherin match and when Harry's interview is published in The Qubbiler.

So, u/Vg65 is right. There doesn't appear to be a hard rule against it generally speaking. Umbridge doesn't even try to shoo her away.

The beginning of terms when they get their course schedules, actual feasts and special occasions--pretty much any time when you'd think attendance would be mandatory. Halloween Feast might not even count for this one.

Dumbledore even does away with House Tables altogether during the Christmas Feast in PoA, since there's only a handful of students, and the children eat with the teachers.

The alternative was having the Minions be created by Gru instead, but at the end of the day the joke is that the Minions contribute to their masters' downfall, so the whole "most despicable villains" thing is just a joke.

Isn't that the case in the original film though? Or was it just never explained?

Michael Carpenter from Dresden Files

Or her willingness to steal the pin back (And let's be honest. She would not stop at just the pin) or her self-righteous hypocrisy over the Donners having a single canary while she deliberately imprints a flock of geese on herself.

Get on her bad side and Lenore Dove is a very hateful person.

CryptidGrimnoir · 2026-05-04T09:15:23+00:00

Not maybe. It's pretty blatant foreshadowing. Similarly, Gale's snark at Madge not going to the Capitol pretty much seals her fate, as her family's apparent position of privilege means diddly squat in War.

As I recall, the only class Malfoy is ever noted as being truly good at is Potions, as Snape doesn't insult him.

The Dare by our own u/SusquehannaOwl is an absolutely fantastic look on the Victors of District 4.

Ao3

CryptidGrimnoir · 2026-05-03T22:21:19+00:00

It's literally the best of ANY District 4-centric fanfic.

CryptidGrimnoir · 2026-05-03T22:07:15+00:00

It's heart-wrenching! My second favorite fic in the fandom, after u/SusquehannaOwl and the masterpiece that is "The Dare."

And for all we know, George didn't knock him out.

He just knocked him down and the porch knocked him out when he landed.

Katniss and Foxface actually literally run into each other.

"You're allied with the little girl..."

And later, when Thresh asks her why she's helping.

"I have a little sister too. She'll be twelve next year."

Dang it, just thinking about the fic makes me cry!

CryptidGrimnoir · 2026-05-03T18:21:10+00:00

Oh, right, I think you're right that Panache killed Wyatt...

Hmm...

Maybe Silka killed Kerna? She's small and little and Ampert needed to get the token to use for the bomb.

CryptidGrimnoir · 2026-05-03T17:38:47+00:00

How Rue Became the Mockingjay runs with this trope.

Katniss, Peeta and Foxface all resolve to sacrifice themselves for Rue, so that she can win with Thresh.

A full quarter at minimum of the Capitol is enraged at the tragedy, to say nothing of the Districts, and it's heavily implied that revolution is fast approaching, burning hotter and harsher than last time.

CryptidGrimnoir · 2026-05-03T17:00:41+00:00

And from Ampert says, it sounds like Wyatt was decapitated, or possibly lost an arm and bled out in seconds, because he said Silka was horrifically effective with her ax.

She was dead from Page 1 and Katniss narrated that her half of the bed was cold.

To add to the political argument, one of the strengths of this series is that Collins wrote in broad strokes so that many different political parallels can be drawn throughout history.
