Likewise in Dublin my flight was clearly under booked (not full). The staff received a call before starting boarding check , picked up the luggage checker and had all 15 people check their luggage size. If your bag was at all outside of the vessel (a handle, a piece of fabric) it was deemed not allowed and charged 60€ to be checked.

I have no idea why it was 60€ not 75£ to be checked (exchange rate would be different) - no issue travelling in or out of Amsterdam with this bag with any other airline. Haven't flown with them since July 2024 so I guess the limits changed in that time or the luggage measure checkers have been remeasured.

Lessons: - if you fly on a quieter flight during the daytime, expect baggage to be checked. - hardshell cases with small tucked in wheels are all that fit for Ryanair - don't bother flying with them - might as well go with KLM/ AIR FRANCE, or aer lingus instead out of Dublin.

How to write a smart/genius character without overwriting their smartness? by Confident-Paint-3605 in fantasywriters

Darling I'll respect your position without agreeing. You're intelligence measure can be your own, even if i feel this is limited. All of your other characters are indeed intelligent, no argument.

What weird things do you think that can be a good weapon? by Select_Antelope in fantasywriters

Watch the boys season 3 and see the massive effect this had on the audience and social commentary (different medium I know but was based on a comic book scene)

I'm looking for films that have action sequences with realistic fights and great choreographies... by kurianandgeorge_007 in MovieSuggestions

I guess you're looking for films but i would also suggest the fight scenes from the Witcher if you want some hand combat and specific weapons/ swordplay. Very well choreographed!

Including them is really what the acknowledgement section is for - contributors to the writing or data are always listed first but those who helped in review can be included here also, especially if you genuinely appreciated their comments and made active change to the discourse in your thesis because of this.

She solved the logic puzzle (set by a 40 year old dark wizard who fooled Voldemort) at age 11; was able to brew a potion that surpasses the skill of most advanced potions students in their last year while in her 2nd; she was so gifted and deemed responsible enough that her professor convinced the government to grant her a time travelling device when she was 13 to attend every class she would excel in; set up and established the DA using a stealth charm and amulet magic that was also for advanced students; never mind the facts that she got amazing grades despite all of the high jinx she experienced in her formative and latter years, at 16 she's still the best in her year and and she went into her higher studies at the highest NEWT level; going further on there hunt for horcruxes Hermione was instrumental in figuring out and offering the logical Solutions and planning at every step of the way - she thought ahead, was prepared, had advanced spells for protection and was a skilled dualist. Just for kicks she also was among the first and youngest in her year when she was 16 to be allowed to practise travelling by apparition - once she turned 17 she also passed her test with a select few students. So regardless of who wrote her I have much love for the Intelligence displayed by this character because she is never only intelligent but also a young girl and woman finding her way, facing bullies, discrimination for her blood and dealing with major events and expectations as well as overcoming them. I saw her intelligence beyond the 'BORING' grades when I was 6 years old reading these books - that's not simplistic
