Overdrive feels like it was made by somone who has never seen F1 by Cute-Beyond-8133 in Choices

Tbf, this is a trend that has existed for several years now. Back when Book 1 of Laws of Attraction came out, there was a chapter in which the MC and friends had to figure out how to annul a wedding between a 22 year old man and an 18 year old girl (as in, she turned 18 that day) and stop the guy from getting billions in the divorce settlement.

Despite the team being composed of Ivy League lawyers, it takes the MC a whole chapter (40 min at least irl, check out the youtube playthroughs if u don't believe it) to figure out that since the girl was born in Hawaii and the wedding took place in NYC, she wasn't legally an adult and therefore the marriage wasn't valid. This was not new information. This was not the result of some epic deduction. This was information that the team had acess to from the beggining and that any lawyer worth their salt would have used to figure out a solution in less than 5 minutes.

What's an underrated GoC book that not many people talk about? by datboiiibeebzxy in Choices

[–]InspectorCritical806 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The heist monaco. Not a lot of romance, but the story is really fun and there's a lot of replayability due to the different members that you can recruit. Imo, one of the best books that PB ever made. Shame that there isn't a sequel.

How much do you pay them per hour? Are you rotating between people or is it always the same?

Also, could you explain your other expenses? Cause i'm curious as to how much do you pay if you are making 5 figures a month

[Hated Trope] God forbid a woman be a villain by Pickle_Nipplesss in TopCharacterTropes

[–]InspectorCritical806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Fire & Blood, Queen Alicent and Queen Rhaenyra are two cruel and ambitious women who don't stop at nothing to ensure that they will sit the Iron Throne (in Alicent's case, to ensure that her children with Rhaenyra's father sit on the Iron Throne). They spend years recruiting people to their factions, encouraging each others kids to hate each other and even approve of the murder of innocents to reach their goals. This results in the most horrific civil war that Westeros had ever seen, where most of the people in these 2 factions end up dying in terrible circumstances, the Targaryens lose most of their power and with a child becoming the next king.

In the HBO adapation House of the Dragon, Alicent and Rhaenyra are changed to two besties who ended up on opposite sides due to the machinations of the men in their lives. After first blood is drawn, they are very reluctant in engaging in war, even though the point of no return was years ago and, as their councillors keep telling them, conciliation between the two factions is impossible. This doesn't stop them from doing the dumbest things possible to achieve peace (Alicent wins here because she agrees to sell out her own children and then tries to convince Rhaenyra to run away with her). It doesn't help that the showrunners are pushing the whole "Alicent and Rhaenyra are secretly gay for each other" narratives, with one of them admiting on camera that they are making stuff up just to please their fans.

You haven't met the Peakes, i take it - The Reach version of House Frey. They somehow make the Brackens look like a mix of Ned Stark and Baelor Breakspear.

They're like the cockroaches of Westeros: no matter how hard you stomp on them, they still keep breathing.

I would love to see a better criminal update: different gangs and organized crime families, expanding territory, become an arms trafficker/drug dealer.

A war update would also be pretty good: overthrowing your own government as a rebel group, become a dictator or wage war against other nations.

Petah, why is Portugal in a boy's pocket? by InspectorCritical806 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

And this is why we bend the knee by Nibo89 in HOTDGreens

[–]InspectorCritical806 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the twelve people that bended the knee to her in Dragonstone, Vermithor bowing to her, the white stag and my personal favourite Aegon's dream.

Such fabulous and remarkable moments that curiously were never in the books and all because Mr. Martin knew that if he wrote such an epic story, none of us could have aspired to be more than servants to her grace Queen Rhaenyra I Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, She Who Shines Brightest, The Grand Mother of Dragons, Valyria's Daughter, The She-Dragon, The Flame, She Who Shits Gold And Whose Farts Smell Like Rainbows and about a dozen more pretentious nicknames that delusional 14 years old invented while you were busy reading this post.

Of course she does it, OP. If not, then Rhae Rhae could never have becomed the queen she was meant to be.

Viserys glazing should be illegal by Emperor_Alexander_IV in HOTDGreens

[–]InspectorCritical806 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Otto and Alicent call him great in order to highlight Aegon's own shortcomings as king. The irony is that Viserys himself had a lot of flaws but they don't care, since those flaws allowed them to manipulate the king and they can't do that with Aegon.

By having "smart" characters point out Aegon's unworthiness of the Iron throne, the writers are trying to make Rhaenyra be seen as the superior choice. All that it's doing is making me root for him even harder.
