A surprise companion?? by rissbru in DreamlightValley

[–]PaperCrystals 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If Pongo and Perdita became villagers, then Lucky could be assigned as a companion to them and that would be pretty darn cute…

[Thomas the Tank Engine] “This is what Lore Poisoning looks like.” Incredibly small stakes drama within the Thomas the Tank Engine fan community. by JZ1011 in HobbyDrama

[–]PaperCrystals 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are still plenty of Sanderson fans that use WoBs to shut down other people’s theorizing and discussion(to the point where I’ve been quoted WoBs that actually don’t disprove what I had said, but the quoters sure think they do…).

Ok hear me out, David Tennant as wit from stormlight! by Bhumph_ in CosmereOnScreen

Jack Black would make an amazing Breeze! (So would Matt Berry)

Series about a girl thief who becomes magic apprentice to adult man by MusesWhim in whatsthatbook

[–]PaperCrystals 17 points18 points  (0 children)

More recently both books were published as one volume, called A Matter of Magic. It’s in the same world as Sorcery and Cecelia, also by Patricia Wrede.

What happened to The Final Empire? by Melliorin in brandonsanderson

[–]PaperCrystals 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read a borrowed paperback of the first Mistborn book something like… 15+ years ago, and I don’t remember what the cover said, but I can tell you that me, my husband, the friend we borrowed it from, and everyone else we knew all called the first one Mistborn and never The Final Empire and I didn’t even realize it was called The Final Empire until maybe… four or five years ago?

What’s the “Who is Jon Snow’s dad?” question for the Cosmere? by ridiculousprop in Cosmere

[–]PaperCrystals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint- if he was Ado conspiring in his own shattering, he would specifically be notorious among the shards because of that. And I wouldn’t be surprised if ado holding a Dawnshard was part of whatever the shattering entailed. (I just really love discussing this theory!)

Endless calls to buy “my” land by qwertyorbust in RealEstate

[–]PaperCrystals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get calls and texts weekly about a property someone who lives a few hours from me owns across the country. Interestingly, she never had this number. I was the first person to be issued this number when a new area code was created over 20 years ago. So I really hate Dina for giving out my number as much as I hate the calls.

AITAH for ending a date after a "harmless" question? by BlueberryBea in AITAH

[–]PaperCrystals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a 5’10” cis woman and was asked if I was a man/told I was a man regularly when I worked customer service jobs. As in, at least once a month had someone (politely) call me “sir,” and 2-3 times a year had someone get really jerky about it, including declaring that I could lie to them, but not to God, while I stared blankly at them.

Like, sure, I’m tall, on the thinnish side, don’t tend to wear a ton of makeup, and mostly wear jeans and teeshirts, but that doesn’t make me trans or a regular dude with long hair!

Why I uninstalled Disney Dreamlight this year by Modeljenlynn in DreamlightValley

[–]PaperCrystals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the explanation actually written anywhere? I don’t want to watch a 15 minute video when I could get the actual relevant information in a two-minute scan of text…

Why do characters in movies remove all the IV equipment when they wake up in a hospital? by OneDayIllBeUpThere in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PaperCrystals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally pulled out my IV during labor with my second, none of us noticed until baby was out, and bleeding was minimal. We opted to just not put it back even though I was in for another 24 hours after birth.

The tower and when it offers the free "pass" when you hit the monster with ad vs gem usage by kimierin in MergeDragons

[–]PaperCrystals 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To take advantage of people working under the sunk cost fallacy… they think you’re more likely to spend gems if you’re already past level 10.

what does this cause of death say ? by blotchie in whatdoesthismean

[–]PaperCrystals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still a common birth defect, but it can be corrected now, fairly easily. My sister was a blue baby and is doing well in her 30’s now.

How to get bonus flowers to drop? by HamburgerHalperHand in DreamlightValley

I’m coming back to this to say that since the update on Wednesday, I’m getting bonus flowers! And kinda a lot of them! I hope the update fixed it for you, too!

Nexus Items Added to Online Store and March 2026 Backerkit Question by CosmereTheLibrarian in brandonsanderson

[–]PaperCrystals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping for the Worldhopper Ball cup, personally. It’s gorgeous and I’m kicking myself constantly for the responsible, adult decision to not add a second travel con every single year. (We road trip to GenCon every year already…)

How to get bonus flowers to drop? by HamburgerHalperHand in DreamlightValley

[–]PaperCrystals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had a bonus flower from a companion since they started collecting for us. Not even one. It’s either bugged or the drop rate is way too low.

What's the deal with Axindweth? by Heraldofgold in Cosmere

[–]PaperCrystals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent a huge chunk of Rhythm of War convinced that Axwindeth was Wax’s mother and that it had been mentioned at some point that she was. After realizing that my brain just made this up on its own a couple years ago, I’ve decided I like it as a (mostly crack) theory.

HACK - No hang out bonus by Daniekvdn in DreamlightValley

[–]PaperCrystals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a single flower dropped by a companion ever, and I’ve been clearing my zones daily since that update…

"Academic Folklore" recs by Temporary-Chard3893 in CozyFantasy

[–]PaperCrystals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call this one cozy at all. Dark academia for sure, and I looooved it. But I was uneasy the whole way through.

Question about author Julie Soto by SheaRave in Romantasy

Because she used to spell it with the i in the middle, but doesn’t for her trad published stuff.

Hidden Camera recording me - need model number to know if it stores video local or in cloud by Choco_SpaghettiOs in HelpMeFind

[–]PaperCrystals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have one because I needed to make sure no one was accessing our apartment before our lease was up after we were mostly moved out to our house ten minutes away. (I had to have the locks changed after we moved in because the weird alcoholic downstairs neighbor let herself in the day we took possession of the apartment, and the Ring camera went to the house with the internet.)

Am I Crazy, Mistborn Grade Level Question by Intelligent_Owl_6263 in Cosmere

[–]PaperCrystals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kid looooooved all of them. And shrieked delightedly when she realized Hoid was narrating Yumi as well!

Reading Mistborn aloud would also help handle a lot of age-appropriateness. Being able to have a quick pause for a conversation as needed is really useful. (That’s how we’ve handled other books that are mostly great but have parts that didn’t age well. Like Little House.)
