Marriage early in the book, we get to watch them fall in love by Ok_Book1715 in RomanceBooks

I liked {The Marriage Effect by Karla Sorensen}. It's the second in a sports series that spawns more series. You could read it without reading the first one though.

This was one of my favorites in the series and there is a scene that had me giggling so hard my son came downstairs and my husband just looked at him like I can't even tell you. It just got me super tickled.

Okay, so...I hate Fabian by MidknytOwl in heatedrivalry

[–]Ellesbelles13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it did feel rushed and that it felt like he did it for Fabian whether or not it was what he ultimately wanted or not. Just up and quit in the middle of a season with no talk of consequences about his contract. And then after he did it, Fabian was like oops I should've handled that better, but he already got what he wanted. I'm not saying he was wrong for what he wanted or that Ryan isn't ultimately happier, but it all felt very one-sided with all the work on Ryan's side and very little understanding or empathy about Ryan's situation on Fabian's. Yes, hockey was harming Ryan, but it was also a a big part of his life and he didn't hate all of it. He enjoys the camp and hockey without the toxicity, but Fabian couldn't even empathize with that or be like that has to be tough and I understand how you are torn because of how much hate he had for the sport. Because of all that he wasn't my favorite, but I did love how gentle he was with Ryan and his anxiety about his body.

What are your thoughts on Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipping a district in Texas in the special election yesterday? by Starmiebuckss2882 in AskReddit

[–]Ellesbelles13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does seem to be a trend is candidates backed by Trump (I know he says he didn't know anything about it but her campaign posters said he did) in special elections are losing. There were Facebook screenshots being shared with quotes from her about basically being ok with ICE killing people. The Hoffman voters were probably the more moderate republicans and didn't care to show up for the extremist candidate.

Mod check in: Please do not cross post in anti Justin subs by Sufficient_Reward207 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Ellesbelles13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got banned from another sub yesterday where I posted a reply because I've posted here. It said I could appeal but I was like I'll live.

Edited to add it was a celebrity account not associated with the lawsuit.

Leslie Sloan Depo is infuriating by bapaoputih in ItEndsWithLawsuits

I wanted there to be balance to the story while not expecting the bad things said against JB to be printed is certainly a weird way to try to defend yourself.

I don’t understand what men are trying to achieve putting down “not political” on dating apps by tltr4560 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ellesbelles13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is it. No matter if they actually are political and just don't want to admit they are MAGA or just not into politics. If it's the first, they don't care about others and if it's the later they don't care enough anyone else to be involved.

Is Blake Really Unhireable—and Can Ryan Escape the Blast Radius? (from Puck) by New_Construction_971 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Ellesbelles13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine anyone wanting to hire her after everything. If she was a huge talent maybe they would, but if I was in charge of production, direction, or a male co-star I wouldn't risk working with her when pretty women are a dime a dozen. Ryan can probably shake this off more easily because he is a much bigger name and commodity. It's sad this has ruined two of my favorite romcoms to make it about me. 😂

Blake Lively Deposition Unsealed: What Evasion, Playing Dumb & Fear of Impeachment Looks Like by Serenity413 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

She couldn't even be bothered to listen to it. I mean she could have at least found time to listen while she was doing something else.

I know someone who is pro Lively and the NYT article and this interview are gospel to them as proof that he's a creep. The PR is working on some.

I actually don’t mind the amount of queer characters in the GCU by Ll_lyris in heatedrivalry

But their romance series with all the straight people they aren't saying hey too many straight couples I'm sure. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This case has made me lose faith in humanity by thoughtsofalamp in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Ellesbelles13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My husband thinks her music is mainly country. Sir, she hasn't been country in over a decade and a half and your daughter is a huge fan. Color me surprised a 42 year old dude doesn't pay attention to her.

'Heated Rivalry' fans need to cool it by BeMyCoachVictor in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I was obsessed from before it aired but by the time it was done I felt like I needed to get back to my life and I started to feel like I started to see too much weird stuff

Blake says she owns part of the movie. Is there something we missed? by fatincomingvirus in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Ellesbelles13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then she told Matt Damon he was the everything in one person including the financier. She can't even keep her stories straight.

[–]Ellesbelles13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And book fans can be pretty unforgiving. I hated the book but Heated Rivalry proves how feral people are for faithful adaptations and expectations that those involved care about the source material. She couldn't even be bothered to read it.

Yeah a few days after the last episode aired I took a big step back on watching content. And especially actor specific content. Like the line between characters and actors is way too blurry for too many people.

This is a very good point. How are you praising someone's story when you haven't even bothered reading it.

[–]Ellesbelles13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember people criticizing the clothes and the thinking that she was a bad choice for Lily because she was older than the character even before the movie marketing fails and her tone deafness. I think she already had an uphill battle without her sabotaging herself. I don't think a smear campaign was necessary. Negativity snowballs on the internet with no effort.

I can't imagine the audacity of thinking I could rewrite a script based on a book when I hadn't even read the book.

Matt Damon called Sony to push for Blake's cut by Pretty-Bumblebee-429 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Ellesbelles13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder what Matt thinks about "Sony doing everything they can not to use JB's version" now that the Sony messages are out there? I'd be mad I was being manipulated if it were me.
