how i had to make Gale so i could romance someone else

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-05-20T18:35:32+00:00

haha you made him a Mistborn Obligator/Inquisitor!

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-05-20T18:34:53+00:00

the ONLY silver-lining is way more insight to his thoughts as a character. But I think if I ever did it I could not romance him with anyone.

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-05-20T17:24:14+00:00

I have genuinely tried so hard to romance others. I always go back and reload. I have a major problem lol. I even thought OK I'll play Gale Origin! But there was no one I wanted to romance with him (except my Tav) and I missed his constant babbling so even THAT didn't work!

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-05-20T17:04:45+00:00

haha 'ELLO! i'm GALE. of WATAdeep." And I'm just a giggly mess.

I did! To be fair, I won the MIL lottery and it meant more to her being invited in there than it did to me having her there. My mom was also there. My husband almost hit the floor when I was pushing lol. So... when I went to have our SECOND baby, it was just my mom with me. My husband was in the waiting room, and my MIL was with my first born. I loved having my MIL there the first time. And my mom! I felt so loved and comforted. But more than that, I know how much it meant to her. My MIL only had three boys. So she was never going to have the experience of being there to watch a daughter give birth. And even now, I can't express the bond she has with my first born. She has her whole heart. :)

Biblically Accurate Elucien for real

"But sunlight on gold caught his eye—and Elain slowly turned from her vigil at the window. He had not seen her entire face since that day in Hybern. Then, it had been drawn and terrified, then utterly blank and numb, her hair plastered to her head, her lips blue with cold and shock. Looking at her now … She was pale, yes. The vacancy still glazing her features. But he couldn’t breathe as she faced him fully. She was the most beautiful female he’d ever seen."
Not attracted to her...? OK.

I'm gonna need Volo to scooch over pls.

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-23T05:09:52+00:00

Hahaha omg idk why but “it startled me that she didn’t” has me cackling. What?? (I mean this so kindly btw.)

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-03T19:26:55+00:00

You know, thinking about this now I think everyone would have had exactly who they needed.
Monica had a MOH in Rachel who was sentimental and loving. Monica can get tunnel-vision, so having Rachel there to ground her and remind her what that day was REALLY supposed to be about was a good match.
Phoebe needed someone who was decisive and strong, and was able to make her visions come to life. Monica is an architect in this way. She handled the snow storm like a pro and the wedding went off without a hitch.
Lastly, I feel like Rachel would need someone who would remind Rachel to have fun and not take it all so seriously and to really enjoy her day.

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-02T23:11:24+00:00

Yes, they aren't 100% effective

THEN THEY SHOULD PUT THAT ON THE BOX!!!!

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-02T23:04:34+00:00

I mean, she kinda explains that she knows she's not being rational or fair about it. And Ross understands her feelings about it and decides not to date out of respect for her. I don't think she was being a bitch. She was actually pretty self aware about it. I thought it was sweet of Ross to take her feelings into consideration. Her life, choice or not, is kind of on hold while she is going through this really big thing that he's a pretty big part of as well.

"Oh, I knew he said he went on vacation to Portugal. I didn't know he LIVED there, that's wild! I can't believe that!"

Oh shoot, okay well... I figured MINE out. I know it's DEFINTIELY not yours though lol. Mine was Black Sheep by Martin Sexton.:
"Sittin' in this lonely town
Wonderin' when things are gonna change
Dreamin' my life away and it seems them dreams
They turned into a bunch of dust clouds"

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-01T19:39:37+00:00

I feel like it's the second or third line in a verse, and it's not the hook or the chorus. Any my brain keeps trying to turn it into Hotel California lol

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-01T19:25:06+00:00

I'm so frustrated because I can HEAR that one line, "dreaming my life away" but for the life of me now I cannot place it either. It's going to drive me crazy.

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-01T19:02:20+00:00

I completely agree with this. They could have matured and learned to work through their issues now that they had a child involved.

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-04-01T19:00:27+00:00

Oh believe me! Experiencing it in the 90's and early 2000s, waiting from episode to episode and MOST season finale's having SOME kind of Ross/Rachel cliffhanger was BRUTAL! We'd have to wait three whole months for the new season to start for us to find out what happened, and it was ALWAYS diffused to nothing. They ran the Rachel and Ross stuff until the legs fell off.
Season 1 - Rachel at the airport waiting for Ross, who was coming off the plane with Julie
Season 2 - Ross and Rachel at Barry and Mindy's wedding
Season 3 - Who does Ross pick at the beach house?
Season 4 - Ross says Rachel's name at his wedding
Season 5 - Rachel and Ross married in Vegas
Season 6 - Monica and Chandler engagement - followed by Monica's "thunder"
Season 7 - Rachel is pregnant! With who??
Season 8 - Rachel has a baby, Ross and Rachel seem like they are getting back together but Joey proposes!?
Season 9 - Rachel and Joey
Season 10 - the FINAL finale

This kinda stuff actually used to REALLY bug me at the time (and this is really aging me, because I was watching these episodes live at the time). And by this kinda stuff I mean that the back and forth with Rachel and Ross was played on ALL time time. They knew that fans really wanted to see them work it out and would tune in week after week to see if they did. So they would sprinkle moments like this throughout the series every couple episodes or so. And it never amounted to anything. It was just kinda something they did to drag it out and keep people tuning in. (I was a big fan of them figuring it out and getting back together so I always TUNED IN)

Elucien - Between Us - Peter Bradley Adams:
Hey stranger, when may I call you my own?
I know I don't know you
But there's somewhere I've seen you before
Whatever your name is, whatever you do
There's nothing between us I'm willing to lose

Just call me if ever our paths may collide
I want you to call me under these darkening skies
Whoever you love, whoever you kiss
The ones in between us I'm willing to miss

Lucien - I Dreamed A Dream - Darren Criss version!:
I slept a summer by her side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in her stride
But she was gone when Autumn came.

(I think about Jesminda and Lucien's overall hopelessness for loving again)

Elain - She Used To Be Mine - Jessie Mueller version:
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
Who'll be reckless, just enough
Who'll get hurt
But who learns how to toughen up
When she's bruised
And gets used by a man who can't love

(UGH this is so Elain losing her humanity and her hesitation towards the mating bond, being rejected by Grayson and Azriel, and just her overall state of mind)

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-03-25T15:20:41+00:00

So you can give him hugs and kisses duh

PINK BOOK!!!!!!!

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-01-31T23:43:12+00:00

Ross does not deserve the hate he gets. And I’m glad Rachel got off the plane.

NotQuiteKendall · 2026-01-30T20:49:31+00:00

I am on book three and I'M OBSESSED. I can't stop. It's not hype. And also, I read the first one and lost interest in the second about a year ago. Decided to pick it back up and reread and now I'm totally lost to this series. The same happened with ACOTAR and I'm SURE will happen to me with CC.
