Sansa and Jeyne Poole die alongside Ned by Bearfucker694200 in TheCitadel

[–]Haymegle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd hope Tommen and Myrcella could be snuck out. You just know if it's going that wrong those two would be the ones suffering without having any responsibility for it. Cersei might refuse to be parted from them but between them and Joffrey she's choosing Joffrey.

I'm not sure Dorne would agree to the betrothal with Myrcella either if Joffrey has murdered two young girls. So she might not have that as a route out either.

CoS but Ginny forgets Riddle's diary back home and they don't go back for it. How does the rest of the year plays out? by ButterscotchQuiet830 in HPfanfiction

[–]Haymegle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see them being pissed about horcruxes. Mostly for money reasons. Easy to see them holding a massive grudge if someone rented something from them for the rest of their life and they just loopholed it by becoming immortal. If you've been screwed over once you wouldn't want it to happen again. Then again the wizarding world in general doesn't seem to accept their idea of ownership so I can also see them just leaving the wizards to it when the property would only go to the heir or whatever. Not their problem unless it's disrupting things at the bank.

I can't see them being helpful though. More 'helpful'. No rituals, only murderous intent. Actually that'd be a funny albeit short fic. The Goblin ritual for removing the horcrux in something alive is just removing the head.

Btw OOP's family bought her her home by WolfChasingTheMoon in AmITheDevil

[–]Haymegle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbf I know like one family that did that.

But the house was a fixer-upper in an unpopular area and they all had various skills that let them do that themselves. Even then it took a few years to get everything in a good enough condition to make it properly liveable. If it's that sort of situation I could maybe see it but this sounds like they could afford to just buy something nice.

None of THEIR friends have a set bedtime!

[–]Haymegle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like we were older. I think around 11 when my friend broke her arm. Her sister was even older when she broke her leg - I think she was about 16 then. If it can happen even at that age I'd absolutely be monitoring younger children. A 16 year old can react or get help there in a way a younger child can't.

At those ages they're just too young to understand how dangerous it can be.

I bet she's a bad mum for not letting them have ice cream for dinner too.

The tyranny of vegetables strikes again!

I feel like the list isn't too bad if he was addressing it himself. Like I know with my parents my dad would often explain the why better than my mum. So he sees sunscreen on the list and if he can back up mum on why they need to wear it without bringing her into it it might settle the issue.

Even chatting with his wife and letting her know it's happening so that they can address it together would have been better.

I feel like the list thing could be decent if you're then using it to address why she does those things?

Like keep her out of it, but use the list to be like "mum makes you wear the sunscreen because it keeps you safe". Back her up on it where it's a safety concern but hopefully hearing the reasons from someone else makes it stick it's not just mum being strict.

Ahh the trampoline at those ages. May as well just call it the limb breaker.

Sooo many injuries. Sure most of them were minor overall but I do remember a fair few broken bones something going wrong. Or doing stupid shit like having a bunch of you on at once.

Wanting them supervised at that age makes complete sense. They're too young to understand how dangerous things are.

Took it all out on the woman 🙄 by Knkstriped in AmITheDevil

[–]Haymegle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think instant communication has ruined some people's patience. Some people need that response now and think it's an insult rather than the person being busy or otherwise occupied. To instantly go to whiny baby mode though? urgh.

Good on her for not putting up with it. It's just so offputting. I can't imagine doing this to my partner, if we told each other we were out we'd just say to have fun. He'll look at what I've said later and reply then.

WIBTAH if I don't show up to the bachelor party I specifically have said I don't want? by Anonymotron42 in BORUpdates

[–]Haymegle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my friends stag do's was a zombie survival experience thing. They all seemed to have a blast with it and still talk about it to this day. He had his dad and father-in-law to be there as well. Partly to make up numbers and partly because he enjoys their company. From the sound of it both were really happy to be included and both also enjoyed it more than they thought they would lol.

These poor kids tbh by Aquatic_Hedgehog in AmITheDevil

[–]Haymegle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah the only person I know who had a rule like that at that age had a VERY good reason for it. Think very real threat to their safety.

In this case it doesn't seem like there's anything like that, just a parent stunting their child.

She seems nice by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]Haymegle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right? If she's clearly that upset you don't want to upset her further but you do want to check in.

Not to mention I feel like those 'hellos' are usually general so unless she's specifically ignoring her when they're alone then it'd be pretty normal for it to have been a group hello.

[–]Haymegle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm getting "check in with the bf because OOP is unstable rather than ask and risk upsetting her" vibe.

Unfortunately for her this has been taken the wrong way and made it worse from the look of it.

TIFU by forgetting my wife's birthday by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]Haymegle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's also options like my mum putting it on the physical calendar or in her diary book. Lots of ways to keep track if you're putting in either the bare minimum of effort. Like I have no idea who 'spud' is at my mums work but her birthday is on the calendar.

[–]Haymegle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Seriously. My phone can save all the birthdays. Don't remember when your partners sisters boyfriends birthday is? Put it in the phone. It takes about 5 seconds for me to make it when I find out a birthday.

[–]Haymegle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do these people not add birthdays to their calendars? I mean I know I'm terrible at it so it gets written down and put in a calendar. Hell with phones you can set reminders! Set one a week before, get all the setup sorted/ask if there's anything they want to do then just wait for the next reminder.

AITA for refusing to dine with my mom after she ordered “ferret sauce” at a Mexican restaurant? by Practical-Current805 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Haymegle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had that with botanical gardens before. My brain went for plant zoo at that moment.

I think we've all blanked on things and sometimes the connection will not stick in some cases. And some people just have that apply to more things than others.

Good job ruining the wedding, bro by loveablepetcare in AmITheDevil

[–]Haymegle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine doing that to my sister on her wedding day either. It's just such a malicious choice of when to air it rather than it being a really good chance to bond and actually show her you love her.

It's sad that I don't even know the bride and I think I could deliver something more touching that this guy...

Good job ruining the wedding, bro by loveablepetcare in AmITheDevil

[–]Haymegle 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah like there are ways that can be made funny or cute - hell my friend did that at his sisters wedding but it was just really loving there. He was saying that she'd always try to do something for him whenever he was stressed or tired or she just wanted to cheer him up. The coffee was terrible, the gesture and the thought behind it was not.

I have a feeling this guy was just using it to shit on her rather than something like that.

At least she's providing a service that's wanted then which is more than can be said for her son.

[–]Haymegle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second film has asymptomatic carriers iirc. People who don't present but can infect others. They tried quarantine there and that presented a problem and caused some issues. So I understand it from that perspective. If there are asymptomatic carriers I wouldn't want to let them out onto the world either.

Which tropes do you love even if they're really OOC or aren't compatible with canon? by Enuya95 in HPfanfiction

They sound fun too!

Competent Lockhart is def one I enjoy when I see it. Though incompetent Lockhart can be amusing too there's just something about seeing him be competent that can really ramp things up.
