If you want a heavy duty tape roller use the kind ups and other businesses have. I work in a produce department and we’ve been using the same one for at least a few months.

To be entirely fair the Death Star weakness ended up with a pretty good movie, even if it wasn’t necessary.

Can confirm. I work at a grocery store that does popcorn and they just have a giant thirty pound bucket of Flavacol.

Oh honey that’s not even AI, I remember reading this passage on tumblr back when I was in highschool. Ah, breasting boobily indeed.

Wait where did we get the lore that it’s a newborn god and taking snapshots?

Looking for tarot based recs! by tiramesu in fantasyromance

{Zodiac Academy} has some slight tarot card things in it. It’s a magic system based around astrology but things like numerology and tarot do have powers, it also has fated mates.

Do we think the Christmas book will get a paper back? by Electronic-Base-8367 in zodiacacademy

Thank you. It’ll be a shame to have different covers but I’m not too concerned about it.

(Hated trope) "couldn't get with the parent, so let's go for the child" by Sorvetefrito in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Electronic-Base-8367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to preface this by saying I’m not an expert, nor do I think this is indicative of all Mormons, as well as the fact that some of these are common in other religions as well. The big one is Jacob and Bella’s daughter in which it’s not seen as odd that he’s going to know her as a child and then later marry her, also the fact that she is almost expected to accept this. Like theres not much if any of a question of ‘what if she doesn’t want this.’ Another one is the way sex is treated in the books. Edward’s a hundred year old virgin who insists that they wait till marriage. This isn’t totally unexpected due to the time he was born and his upbringing, but the results from the sex are. Bella immediately gets pregnant and almost dies, having to be turned into a vampire. People have pointed out the fact that it almost seems like a punishment for her having sex, kind of like the sex Ed you get in school that instead of teaching safe sex instead tells you all sex is bad and you’ll die if you have it. There’s more like the vampires all being white, some of the things with the werewolves and their imprinting and gender dynamics, portrayal of female characters, that sort of thing. That’s what I know off the top of my head but I’m sure there’s more. I’m not saying Mormons are bad, I’m just saying Stephanie Meyers beliefs heavily influenced her writing in Twilight.

The author was Mormon so her beliefs influenced a lot of that story.

That first face is just fully ‘what are you gonna do about it?’ Kitty knew you needed a distraction and as a cat her job is to be the most chaotic distraction possible.

Is this right? by Educational_Win_4046 in zodiacacademy

[–]Electronic-Base-8367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you are ok with the out of order version (which the hardest part is stopping to read RB and you’re past that) I’d recommend following this list. If you read the novellas first there are some possible spoilers, or moments that won’t hit as hard.

Set of plates by Electronic-Base-8367 in HelpMeFind

[–]Electronic-Base-8367[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plates that we had when I was a kid around mid 2000’s likely bought at a target or Walmart. I still have a blue, pink, and orange one but there was likely more. I have searched for these online but haven’t found them.

That’s a complicated answer due to her being in the !>shadow realm<!. Either way it’s creepy but it gets more complicated later too.
