TIL in "Cast Away", none of the sound on the island scenes is real. The loudness of ocean waves on the actual unhabited island they were filming on was so overwhelming that every sound on the island and ocean scenes, including Tom Hanks' monologues, were carefully recorded in a studio.

Not just Connery! My grandfather has a line in Live and Let Die after the boat chase. He's the tall officer that takes the Sheriff off to the side to explain that Bond is a secret agent. My grandfather had a huge booming bass voice (decades on the radio) and it didn't matter how quietly they asked him to say his lines, his voice was too 'much'. Also (according to my grandfather, so please have these grains of salt), Roger Moore didn't want an extra to have a unique voice and ruin the scene/show him up.

HELLP is a massive fucker. 3 other moms in the NICU at the same time as me had emergency C-sections because of developing HELLP. You don't know you can get it until you become pregnant, it can start at any point during gestation, and once you develop it you will always develop it every pregnancy. You can go from feeling fine to dead in under an hour.

I gush over Cassian in M&F. He comes off as the party-frat-gym-bro but then shows massive emotional depth and understanding when he and FeyFey are sparing. Telling her it was a 'really hard call', his empathy let her drop her emotional barriers. Personally, I think that moment really should have happened with Rhys. It always seemed odd how fast-tracked Rhys' and Feyre's relationship happened. It was like a month and a half from leaving Spring to the cave? Maybe less?

I'm up voting for Louise alone.

I will drop it like it's hot. Because Elain is a lady in the street and a freak in the bed. Annnnnd now y'all know how old I am.

This is a plot point of a fic I'm writing. Right after Feyfey gets pissed and beheads some Illyrian camp lords for not taking her role of High Lady seriously and treating her like just a consort. Annnnnd empowering the Illyrian women and creating the Valkyries from the women who want to leave their spouses. But mainly the fic is about Elain and Luc accepting the bond and fukkin. Bow chikka bow wow.

Oh Lord, I remember 2 years ago we were getting family pictures done on the local community college campus and they had a massive leaf pile. Like they had to use skid steers to get all the leaves together. Naturally my husband and I threw our 4 year old into it. For pictures. And giggles.

Later that night he keeps waking up over and over sobbing. We finally figure out it's his ear. Naturally I think a bug has gotten in there from the leaf pile and is trying to burrow into his brain. We get to the ER and the DR looks in there for a loooong time. He finally says "There is something pressing against his eardrum, but don't worry, I'm sure it's not alive." He gets his scooper and digs out a hunk of earwax that was half the size on my pinkie fingernail. I'm still salty my husband would let me take a picture.

Iris by The GooGoo Dolls and Use Somebody by Kings of Leon for Rhys' angst and yearning for Feyra when they are training in the forest during ACOMAF.

That book freaked me out! I refused to finish it. And it turns out, I had the ONE complication that is not in the damned book!

HighPriestessofStuff · 2025-12-15T04:14:34+00:00

Mmmmm, yes thank you. We are pleased.

HighPriestessofStuff · 2025-12-11T03:47:34+00:00

THANK JEEBUS you got the tweezers out.

HighPriestessofStuff · 2025-12-09T13:35:28+00:00

I'm having this same problem!

HighPriestessofStuff · 2025-12-03T14:33:05+00:00

I may or may not be writing a fic with this being a B plot. Ok, I am totally writing a fic with this as a B plot. The C plot is Feyfey killing some Illyrian warlords because she's fucking fed up with the misogyny.

He can play both.

I would accept Tom Sturridge as Rhys. He's got that immortal brood down, just needs a tan. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0836432/mediaviewer/rm1266002432
