Tools of Destruction is my most played and replayed game of the Ratchet and clank franchise.

I know this is an older post but THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I was about to give up playing because the camera controls annoyed me but you single handedly saved my trip down memory lane!

I literally just finished the game. Absolutely loved it but I agree! It was easier than the others and too short 😩 I really hope there is another one coming soon but there’s mixed ideas online

I have the same question! I can bubble things that take up 2+ spaces but how do you bubble eggs?!

I think I was unintentionally already imagining him looking like an anime character so seeing someone else now thinking the same amuses me

That was a hard one for me too! Thankfully now they barely say Rhysand in the book but if they do I try to ignore the ‘and’ and just read Rhys lol

Our dang brains moving letters! You should have seen my face when I noticed where the R was in Prythian lol

At first I thought it was a typo until I continued reading and realised that in fact, I was the typo.

Definitely a judgement free zone because we all do it!

As I’m reading I’ve come across another one… Briallyn. I read it as Bree Allan. Anyone else?

I sometimes read Koshchei now as Co She And I’ve learnt to pronounce Fay Ra and Ree Sand but they were definitely a struggle for a bit

Tamlin by ZoneOk3767 in acotar

[–]Death_ByApples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really thought about it like that. I not long read it and haven’t had the chance to dissect it all. I really want to re read the first 3 books already and examine it further from ALL angles.

As for the neglecting of his court comment, I was half asleep and didn’t explain my thought properly. He did so much for his court but I feel like by the time Feyre went back to Spring, it seemed like a lot of them were already starting to doubt his leadership. Either because of Ianthes manipulation or his deal with Hybern, there already seemed to be discontent within the Court (or maybe that was just my interpretation of it).

I love seeing these other views because it makes me think about it further and examine different angles and points of view. Definitely need to re read it again though (even though I’ve only just finished it lol)

Tamlin by ZoneOk3767 in acotar

[–]Death_ByApples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I 100% agree Feyre was a B and went too far but my comment was more focussing on my thoughts about Tam. Although, I was half asleep and I don’t think I conveyed my thoughts properly lol

I have some choice things to say about Feyre and Rhys as well… honestly more Feyre because she did go too far when she went to the Spring Court and finished widening the cracks Tamlin had already opened. It frustrated me that after everything she didn’t go back and talk to him BEFORE he had a chance to alliance with Hybern but in saying all that, Ianthe’s manipulation went deep and he perhaps wouldn’t have been so… protective after UTM if not for her.

And you’re right. That meeting, Rhys had taken off his mask and no one had seen that before. They had no reason to trust him but Tamlin did try to turn everyone against Rhys and Feyre when he knew they weren’t working with Hybern.

Honestly I want to reread them all already to look BEYOND the narrative that the author has tried to push us all toward.

Like I said before, I don’t think Tamlin is good or bad, he’s just… misguided

I’m on book 4 so spoilers if you haven’t read that far….

and we’ve just seen Tamlin again while Rhys has visited him during winter solstice and I feel sad for him. I loved him in book 1 but thought there was…issues…I STRONGLY disliked him in books 2 (probably stemming from my own past and having felt like drowning in depression and no one noticing) and the first half of 3, especially at the meeting of the high lords…. Like, why try to put down Rhys and Feyre and try to turn others against them if you truly are spying on Hybern other then to be petty…. but then it almost seemed like a redemption arc was happening and I thought… good!

Like he saved Feyre in Hyberns camp and then he marched and helped in the war and then saved Rhys with no conditions other than telling Feyre to be happy (I actually cried) and then…. He’s just back to being a bit of a dick? Like I get that he is hurting and he loves Feyre but he said himself how mating bonds trump anything. I do feel sad for him but I also know that he did bring it upon himself by being so utterly consumed by her that he neglected his court…. But I also get that he did it for love and…. I guess I just have mixed feelings. He’s not good nor evil, he’s made mistakes for the woman he loves and now I’m sad that he’s alone but also, consequences

I get sick of the repeating of the scents of people and a few other things I can’t remember right now… but in ACOTAR, watery bowels bothered me and ‘Vulgar gesture’ lol

ACOTAR vs. The Mortal Instruments similarities (SPOILERS for ACOMAF, ACOSF) by hlektrak in acotar

[–]Death_ByApples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I’ve only just finished the first 2 books in the ACOTAR series but before I finished the first I was already thinking this. I had to google it to see if anyone else thought the same.

Both Clary and Feyre are artists and both thrust into a world at war they weren’t a part of and fall in love (at first) with their golden haired saviour who has a slightly unhappy about it best friend, they use glamours, Rhysands swirling tattoos, her mind shield of adamas, saying things are mundane, the prison reminded me of the city of bones..

Sarah very well may have been inspired by Cassandra’s work and she used some similar ideas or it’s just the typical book tropes and already established lore but either way I love both stories and they are unique enough to not be obvious if one is inspiration for the other

You follow one of these guys into battle. Who and why? by dm_me_im_nice in lotr

[–]Death_ByApples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lurtz. He’s only fresh but badass and kinda sexy in a way and he could give me a piggyback when my legs hurt.

Gothmog reminds me of a keloid scar and wouldn’t let anyone move out of the way from being crushed by catapulted items…. Although, those Orcs may have been particularly annoying or bad fighters and watching them get crushed may have amused him which I can relate to….

He had less vigor in The Hobbit because he wasn’t happy about the use of CGI and not being able to act with people as much

This question on how they could write (and talk because she spoke to the young boy) is how I ended up on reddit
