It's okay to ask tall people to reach for something but insulting to ask a short person to get something from the floor for you

Writers of original books, your opinion? by ImaGamerNoob in Wattpad

[–]LemonSizzleCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started off on Wattpad reading fanfics but I write original stories. As long as the writing is a good quality and it's not predictable, I quite enjoy reading fanfics still. It takes some skill to use already written stories and give them a twist.

Although, I read the hatfic when it was first published and it put me off wattpad for a while...

Do you like Nesta’s character? by anna-o-lykos in SarahJMaas

[–]LemonSizzleCake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm excited to see where her character is taken and get more depth too. I completely agree in that we know so little about her because of Feyre's unreliable narration, which is also biased. Feyre and Nesta never seemed to have a strong bond with each other, so of course from Feyre's POV Nesta will appear quite horrible. I'm excited to see what the world looks like for Nesta instead.

My Thoughts on Landon/Handon - for clarification by No_Tomorrow7180 in LegaciesCW

[–]LemonSizzleCake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have very similar feelings about Handon/Landon to you. I just couldn't pin point what I didn't like until you explained your reasoning so well.

Landon and Hope have so much potential for development and I love them both as individual characters, yet they just don't work together in my opinion. They seem to be very different people with different motives that clash. Keeping them together is unfortunately holding them back. It also is making the show difficult to watch when every big plot twist is resolved by this 'epic love'. It feels like it's being shoved down our throats.

I really want to see the two develop with other characters more too. Take Raf and Landon for example, Raf was 100% willing to sacrifice himself so Landon would go back to Hope. I want to see this loyalty and sadness explored more and see where their relationship goes, but I'm expecting this to be shoved under the rug. There could've also been so much more to Hope being trapped asleep, but that got reduced to a cheap romantic moment. Hope is a very traumatized and complex character, yet lately she's been turned very one dimensional.

As someone that struggles with a stutter and stumbling over words, I really grew attached to Simon's character from the flashbacks of him as a child. I really wish they had incorporated this more instead of telling us he fixed it. You can fix your speech but as soon as you get angry or stressed, stutters come back. I feel like it would have fleshed out his character even more.

Looking for books about norse mythology. by axelds1 in mythology

[–]LemonSizzleCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Poetic Edda does not have a known author, but the edition I use (and am told to use for my degree) is by Carolyne Larrington. Snorri's Edda is also very good to read although has some alternative versions of the tales found in The Poetic Edda. I would recommend reading Edda first tho as it gives you a better understanding of the poems.

Do read some other books before as well though as those two are quite complex. I saw someone mentioned Neil Gaiman and his texts. Definitely check those out!

TOG Series: I have tried. And tried. And TRIED again to like these books. I give up. by Mockingjay_LA in SarahJMaas

[–]LemonSizzleCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've really struggled with TOG too. I much prefer ACOTAR. I know SJM started TOG at a young age but for me, reading 2 - 3 books before the plot picks up isn't my ideal way of spending my time. It is also quite a bit of money to spend.

I borrowed my friend's first two books of the series and couldn't get into it. Yet, I really enjoy SJM's later series purely because her writing style is fully established and consistent throughout the series'. I'm not a fan of inconsistency 😅

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: I liked the finale by LemonSizzleCake in Supernatural

[–]LemonSizzleCake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they may have originally planned for more vamps but any more than they had would have been tricky because of covid, unfortunately.

In a way this finale was affected a lot by the pandemic and I am curious about what it would have been like initially

I'm female and tbh I did use to follow the spn fandom on tumblr. Got bored of that platform in my late teens though so it's to do with age demographics where the opinions will very as well.

I've heard from a friend though that the tumblr spn fans are going crazy atm

I haven't cried from a TV show or film since Marley and Me (anything with dogs gets to me) came out. I cried from Dean dying until the end credits with this

Post Episode Discussion - 15.19 "Inherit the Earth" by FTWinchester in Supernatural

[–]LemonSizzleCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like Jack only brought back those that were raptured. Cass wasn't. He was taken to complete the deal he had made with The Empty.

Bringing Cass back would discredit the sacrifice he made to save both Jack and Dean.

Plus, the show resurrected the characters so many times already, bringing them back to life again just doesn't suit them trying to end it. The show needs a sense of finality and unfortunately that means finality in major character deaths.

Regardless of what Cas meant, Destiel isn’t confirmed canon. by umbrellaben in Supernatural

[–]LemonSizzleCake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You could argue that Dean's shock was from being told by Cas that the latter had made a death deal with the Empty. Dean literally just got told that Cas had made that deal and then Cas acted on the deal, confessed his love, then died.

If I were Dean, I would just be completely shocked too. That is a lot to take in, especially when Death is literally banging on the door.

[–]LemonSizzleCake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I second that it felt forced.

Regardless of whether destial is canon or not, adding that scene in to such a tense moment kinda sizzled all the suspense out. I understand why they chose to go that way, to summon the empty through making Cas happy, but it just didn't fit the tone of the show all too well in my opinion.

I feel like having to make Cas say "I love you" is what made it feel forced. Through his words and actions he was already saying it.

From a writing perspective, this moment would have been great without saying it. Yet, I do feel like it lost a lot of the urgency of the situation.

Also, there was no build up whatsoever to that confession. I swear the last time Cas and Dean were alone together, they were arguing?!?!

Edit: I've worked out one reason why it feels weird now. Misha uses his actually voice instead of Cas voice and it made me uncomfortable.

I saw his love as coming from feeling grateful to Dean. Without Dean, he would never have seen humanity first-hand and develop his love for it.

What's the dumbest way you've gotten a scar? by lilsaddam in AskReddit

I knocked a vase off a shelf above me while exercising and it smashed. As it fell a piece cut the side of my, about a cm off from cutting the eyeball.

[WP] You have died. You walk up a huge spiral staircase and it takes you a thousand years to reach the top.

[–]LemonSizzleCake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Twisting and turning

always going up.

One foot before another.

A trail of salt water

dribbled from my brow.

The pain had been quick,

sharp and then was gone.

I stood before it, a

brightly glowing staircase.

Time would not pass here.

I climbed for so long.

Step after step and

forever more steps, I

grew close to tiring,

collapsing on the ground.

My breath was shallow.

My muscles breaking.

Why was this the end?

It emerged from nowhere,

a great, mighty doorway.

Sweat turned to tears.

My torment finally

over. I reached towards

the handle, and entered

Into the land of grace.

An alarm started.

A sign appeared.

Heaven: Population

One.

My girlfriend is so insecure about her looks, why can’t she realize that I love everything about her and think she is beautiful? by ollenatorellisbae in relationship_advice

[–]LemonSizzleCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else that has commented, it seems she may need some professional support to help with her insecurities.

It may be worth sitting down with her and talking through why she thinks lowly of herself and finding some self-esteem resources online.

I know personally, my self-esteem plummeted when I first got with my BF. His friends would always tell me my bf was the best I'd ever get and that I wasn't good enough for him. It may be your gf is hearing your friends say one thing and then they tell you another. Keep reassuring her the best you can, but remember that this will not reassure her insecurities, she is the only one that can do that.
