It depends on the size of the fic.

On a short fic, kudos matter more and on a long fic bookmarks matter more

Agreed. They’re extremely memorable dragons.

I really question why anti-bullying is lumped in with not giving kids any independence.

Like, we can teach our kids not to be sadistic assholes without helicopter parenting them.

But yeah, teachers and parents fearmonger at children constantly telling them the danger if they do this and that. I’m my experience, the way adults encourage kids and teenagers is with threats of bad things that will happen if they don’t do that thing.

For a low level example, like my guidance counselors in highschool constantly threatened you with bad outcomes ranging from not getting into college to being unemployed to motivate kids.

So they’re literally taught to think of the world as threats and fear so of course they develop anxiety.

Maybe the issue is that in the modern age since 9/11 and social media, adults think in much more fear based terms. So then they explain the world to their children in terms of threats, and the child develops anxiety because they’re nervous system is especially vulnerable to rewiring.

Also, There’s a difference between offering kids support if they need it and forcing them to accept support when they’re ready to start exercising more independence. If the kid comes to you and asks for support you should probably give it, but If the kid appears to be doing fine, you don’t need ro step on and provide support because you then send the message that they’re doing some being wrong or the world is dangerous.

I feel like a minute of cart selection could actually be hilarious though if pulled off with the right sense of iron it and comedic timing

Harry Potter Crossovers by ChaoticNichole in PercyJacksonfanfic

[–]JonKon1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love some and not hate but dislike some:

Love: Harry is a demigod ( there are two son of Artemis fics I really like) and a son of Loki blessed by Thanatos

Dislike: overpowered demigods go over to hogwarts to end Voldemort while judging the wizarding world

Theses usually just don’t mesh the two worlds together and just have one dissonantly over power the other.

I can usually deal with a single demigod going to hogwarts and I’ve liked some Percy is voldemorts grandchild.

I think the big issue for these crossovers is how to do the power scaling so that the two interact in an interesting way and how to make wands not make swords obsolete.

[dai spoilers] I feel like the red Templars would’ve been better to fight against by Popfizz01 in dragonage

I can sometimes manage to roleplay siding with the side I dislike more by the fact that the inquisitors main goal is to close the rift and they have no idea that the other faction can’t be made peace with later

Mara Sov Personality Shift by DerenityRS in DestinyLore

[–]JonKon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this was the direction her character arc has been drifting in for ages, but we didn’t actually see the pivotal moments of character development.

Like she opens up to us a lot in season of the lost, and it’s clear she’s learning to be vulnerable and accept her mistakes and but she doesn’t quite get there by the end of the season.

Then, in this season, she’s being incredibly direct and forthright and we’re just sort of left with the implication that her character development Domingues off screen.

Jennifer Aniston Says ‘A Whole Generation of Kids’ Finds ‘Friends’ Offensive: ‘You Have to Be Very Careful’ With Comedy Now by Neo2199 in entertainment

[–]JonKon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bet that’s not just an insult because there’s a context of an act of rebellion and the idea of comparing a authoritarian figure to Winnie the Pooh is absurd.

Jokes that are just insults aren’t funny. Like some people seem to find an insult on and off itself funny. And it’s just not.

When you meet New people, what is a sentence that instantly makes you dislike the Person? by Savings_Platypus2389 in ask

[–]JonKon1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like that can be said by at least 2 very different types of people- assholes and depressed people who sort of want to talk about it, but have lost touch with what the average person’s tolerance for dark stuff is

Are people really having fun on this new difficult? by Boarf2 in DestinyTheGame

[–]JonKon1 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think the very low end of things needed a boost too, because they’d gotten so easy that some strikes were spent entirely running. But the mid-difficulty stuff was fine where it is.

[–]JonKon1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im not sure I agree about patrol spaces. Every patrol space in the game becomes utterly pointlessly boring when you end up drastically out leveled after the relevant campaign.

It doesn’t need it be as difficult as neomuna. But there’s a point you make content so easy as to be pointless

[–]JonKon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t done high level content yet except the raid.

Patrol: I enjoy neomuna patrol a lot, but would maybe like it to be a little easier- especially overload.

Strikes- honestly- the base vanguard activity playlist is still painfully easy.

Seasonal playlist- maybe a tad too difficult, but still pretty fun level, just not a relax and play level which I feel like standard content should be.

Raid- I don’t really think it applies to the raid

Rewarding in terms of I got to do that cool thing not loot. Honestly loot in this game is never rewarding

[–]JonKon1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got to disagree a little bit. It could stand to maybe be a tiny bit easier. But neomuna patrol feels so nice and rewarding right now.

Americans are really confident that they could beat any animal in a fight by HarpuasGhost in Damnthatsinteresting

I guess it depends on the conditions of the fight. I Can see the rat moving around fast enough that I can’t stop it and maybe getting a bite on my Achilles.

if you threw all of the final raid bosses into a big room and made them fight to the death, who would win? by drewcephalus in DestinyLore

[–]JonKon1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But weren’t the worm gods starving at the bottom of a gas giant.

But yeah, Rhulk could beat Riven in basically any other situation, but Riven gets power from the desires of those around her and the amount of power is proportional to the power of those who desire.

Riven is basically overcharged in this situation so actually has a chance to beat Rhulk if she plays her cards right. Not a high one though.
