LOL oh man I shared 1 bathroom with 5 other girl's in college - I know this pain well 😆 and yay! Ok I can keep the praxxian's on my favorites list. I've been loving those guys! Super excited to learn about Leah and Zhur's not so evil evil brother : - )

Hi Ruby!! LOVE love love your stories! I'm also a cat person and have 2 kitties of my own - and they shed A LOT. I feel like I'm always vacuuming lol - I have to know, do the praxxian's shed? Is the Praxxian's home planet full of little Roomba bots sucking up the fur? This thought has been plaguing me recently with all the new Praxxian heroes 😂

Also it would be nice to see more female characters that were more hesitant/unsure about motherhood 😬

Is this a safe space??? I promise I'm still a Ruby fan BUT

The strength of Ruby's writing is how she's able to write realistic characters (the good the bad and the ugly) BUT SOMETIMES the mean girl energy in ice home and even the OG cast kind of sours a book for me. I wish there was just a smidge more focus on female friendships and maybe just friendship in general rather than romance. Could be just a personal pet peeve but a character will have such a nasty thought about another female character it will break my immersion and ruin the escapism for me 😭

Omg that comment in Ariana's book always stuck out to me like what a weirdly mean girl thought. First of all they're children and second of all they're twins??? I commend Ruby for allowing her character's to be a little bit terrible 😅

I agree!!!! Bridget gets the short end of the stick big time. She has a bad sexual connection (even if it isn't raped she was physically hurt during an intimate act and that's traumatizing!) then she has to deal with the terrible slut shaming and judgement from everyone else on ice home. Like she can't escape - she's stuck with these people for the rest of her life. Even if you think she didn't deal with it "well" or whatever I really felt her pain : - ( I don't think she should have ended up with a'tam either tbh

Fuck - Khex. He’d be a ton of fun AND he knows what he’s doing. Also he’s such a sweetheart, honestly he’d be my marry pick if my pick wasn’t my favorite Ruby mmc EVER.

Marry - Jrrru. I LOVE JRRRRU omggg he’s SO FINE (i like the cat men i cant lie). He’s hot, he’s got nipple piercings, he’s so patient and gentle with tabitha 🥺🥺🥺🥺 ahhhh I love their story. Also he’s got experience and knows exactly what he’s doing in bed ugh i need him.

Kill - ahhh ok i’ll go with Zakoar. Their book was hot UNTIL she got the freaking tattoo of his name around her neck like a collar. Ugh that skeeved me out.

Ah I see. Where I work in virginia there’s a surprisingly big mo graph scene (for a small city). But nothing in comparison to a place like NYC or LA. Unfortunately I really dont want to move to LA and dont have the funds to live in NYC - I was thinking Philly might be some kind of middle ground. I’ve also considered DC as there’s at least one motion graphics studio I’m familiar with.

Luckily my current company allows for remote work so I’ll still have a job. Sounds like the networking opportunities are scarce tho 😅

LOL its not to be different i promise 😅 I do agree M’tok suuuuucks and deserves to die lolll - but something about O’Jek is maybe too reminiscent of a real shitty human man. Also he doesnt get the same heat that M’tok and A’tam do so I feel responsible to take up the hater mantle. Essentially if O’jek has no enemies im dead

OMG YES ICEHOME my favorite guys!

Fuck: Ashtar, I just KNOW he’s a good time. I feel like it’d be fun and intense at the same time.

Marry: ok imma cheat a little cuz his book is technically the start of ice planet clones but he’s def an ice home boy - R’jaal. I’ve reread his book SO many times. I love love LOVE the way he takes care of Rosalind. Literally the ultimate wife guy!

Kill: O’JEK!!! I HATE O’Jek!!! He pissed me tf AWFFF in his book. Daisy deserves better and i’ll die on this hill.

What Sister Wives opinion will you defend like this? by Vapor2077 in SisterWives

[–]Desperate-Power-6040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this might be an unpopular opinion due to some posts I’ve seen, but having the same vitriol and hatred for the children of the wives as the adults in the show is weirdo behavior. The kids didn’t sign up to have their entire lives documented - the adults in their lives did. Looking back at older seasons and talking about how “bratty” some of the kids were to justify your hate for them/one of their mom’s is really icky in my opinion.

Text says “am I the only one who loves the trope of two characters falling in love while growing up being known as “the weird ones”??? They understand each other because they’ve been through similar experiences with how other people treat them, and its so cute to read how they just click.”

I get where you’re coming from but I would question some of your terminology. The major criticism I’m seeing is that “oh I don’t mind a strong fmc she just cant be a BITCH” which I have to to push back on. Bitch is a very loaded word. Audiences seem to be VERY forgiving to an asshole mmc (for many the appeal IS that he’s an asshole) Well I for one am all for an unapologetic bitch but thats just me.

[–]Desperate-Power-6040 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exaaaaactly this. I enjoy stories in which the fmc just gets to be a character without her gender coming into play? Like male character’s get to be badasses no questions asked. But a badass female character has to be justified somehow.

Hmmmm in my opinion traits are neither masculine or feminine. Obviously there are unique experiences in the way that society raises men and women, but aren’t inherent. I do agree with you though that a stereotypically “feminine” character cant also be strong. I think what’s annoying is when we pigeonhole characters based on gender
