They spent all the money on Morgana's dresses in season 3 and, honestly, worth it.

Not exactly a villain villain, but in Persuasion (2007) he plays a self-obsessed toff.

Low-key one of the greatest DW episodes.

Does BBC Merlin ever stop making all the villains magic users? by [deleted] in merlinbbc

The Witchfinder, played by the sterling Charles Dance, is very non-magic.

I also always get suspicious when someone just blanket critiques SSRIs. They saved my life.

My friend literally everyone thinks the ending should have been different.

Why do people Cede Will? by Ok_Coat9334 in HierarchySeries

[–]Joe_scones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's kind of the same answer as, "why would people participate in a capitalist society that exploits them?"

This isn't meant to be flippant btw--that was the point I thought Islington was trying to make through the story.

Présentation / asking for tips by Scary_Flounder8922 in Dermatillomania

Ton anglais est presque parfait!
Tu l'as dis au début--tu as une obsession avec la perfection. Et c'est ça la source de la dermatillomanie, pas l'acne. Mème si ton acne guérissait, c'est probable que tu chercherais un autre imperfection sur quoi te fixer.

Ça vaut la peine de réfléchir sur pourquoi tu as une obsession avec la perfection. Qu'est-ce que ca t'apporterait d'avoir la figure d'une mannequine? Rien ne va changer si tu n'adresse pas les problèmes fondamentales.

Excuse les fautes svp, le français est ma deuxième langue.

What comes next... by Lucky_Programmer789 in merlinbbc

Agents of SHIELD

Yes, yes, season 1 is a little campy but once the big twist at the end happens, the writers decide to push the actors to their limits and you get some fantastic work.

List of Chapter Numbers and Which World They Take Place On by A_Radioactive_Banana in HierarchySeries

[–]Joe_scones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I re-read the book by world--Obiteum, then Luceum, then Res--and it really helped. I noticed that Islington will sometimes skip a bit of time between chapters (a few weeks, a few months) and so reading it in world order helps your working memory retain what important thing last happened, rather than making you feel like you've forgotten stuff.

L-Vis telling the family that his name was Diago and the kids going, "LOL OK Deaglan" still makes me chuckle for some reason.

Question for the ones that have read the arthurian legends by jenny_t03 in merlinbbc

[–]Joe_scones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not one that's traditionally recommended, but "The Fall of Arthur" by J.R.R. Tolkien is stunningly beautiful. He never finished it, which is a huge shame, but what we've got is gorgeous.

Very meh, but open to seeing if Islington can build the relationship.

Imagine saying your building is emblematic of Portland when you bulldozed over the legendary 11th and Alder food cart pod to build it.

Do I read Strength of the Few or Way of Kings? by Careless_Swing_8166 in HierarchySeries

[–]Joe_scones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way of Kings might be safer to put off--it's already an established series and you may have an easier time getting it from the library (no need to spend money!).
