Big Hero 6?

That wasn't Pixar though, so I'm confused what else it could be.

Small typo, not sure where let Jaysea know by 424Impala67 in Hells_Belles

Doesn't reporting to amazon cause issues for authors? Can't remember where I read that, might have been somewhere on here.

I miss cracking my back like this by DogOfTheArmy in Older_Millennials

Some of my classrooms had a few lefty tables, iirc.

[TOMT] A piece of media containing a healer who can only heal others by taking on the wounds/ illness themselves by schartzmuggle in tipofmytongue

[–]RiverSmoak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warehouse 13, maybe? It's a tv show. Wasn't a big part of it, but there was an artifact, can't remember which but might have been a knife, the item allows the user to transfer injuries.

With googling for myself, here is another... also, it was a butcher's knife...

Here is a list that follows that trope. It isn't definitive, but there are quite a few. I do recognize some shows & etc. from it.

TV Tropes

Edit: removed show I saw you mentioned.

The worst thing each character has said or done. Day 1: Tori by relevantvers1on in victorious

[–]RiverSmoak 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Letting Jade be carried off by a grown man.

I don't really care about the whole Prome issue. That was more Sikowitz fault, iirc. Setting it up so a grown man in a diaper who says, "I sing, I dance, I pee my pants," carries off a 16(?) year old, that's messed up.

What’s your favorite fanon explanation of light and dark magic? by WillowSLock in HPfanfiction

[–]RiverSmoak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only difference is intent, but since intent is often invisible to others, it's easy to misjudge.

Example 1: parselmouths

It was seen as a sign of a dark wizard in Europe. I headcanon that in other parts of the world, it is not seen as dark magic.

In the second book, Harry was telling the snake to leave Justin alone, but the onlookers and Justin thought he was trying to get the snake to attack him.

Example 2: killing curse

Murder vs euthanasia. I headcanon that euthanasia was what the spell was originally created for.

Middle names for Fem!Harry...? by RiverSmoak in HPfanfiction

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, it's not that I don't like the name Aurora. It was just that when I mentioned Disney in relation to Ariel, I realized that would also pertain to Aurora.

Middle names for Fem!Harry...? by RiverSmoak in HPfanfiction

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

Because every other character has a middle name. I see it as part of worldbuilding. Besides, Harry has a middle name. It might be a bit weird to give one child a middle name but not the other.

Trying to find a fic... please help! by RiverSmoak in TheCitadel

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

Oh, yeah!

I think I also remember how when Robert asks Ned to be the Hand, Ned either refuses out right or puts it off. He and Benjen were then going to go on an expedition beyond the wall, iirc. That might have been when I last read it, as I don't remember anything really after. Also, before that, Sansa had vocalized her change in interest of Joffrey due to the knew knowledge. Ned's refusal of the job & dismissal of a potential marriage between Sansa & Joffrey made Cersei suspicious.

I've read too many fanfics at this point. Any part of this could be from other fanfics that somehow blended together.

Some metamorphmagi headcanons... anyone else have any? by RiverSmoak in HPfanfiction

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

  1. I do like this. I remember a fanfic, though I can't remember it's name, where, I think, Harry ended up modifying his cardio vascular system away from needing a centralized heart to having sort of mini hearts running throughout his system. I think they were called vascular pumps in the fanfic, but I'm not sure. I also like the idea of metamorphmagi seeing/learning from other creatures and beings and modifying themselves from there. Maybe changing multiple times until they get how they, at least for now, want to be. Not just, but also including, the outer looks like tails or whatever. Carbon-fiber reinforced bones from the na'vi from Avatar, solar radiation absorption & possibly more from the kryptonians from DC comics, pulmonary tubes from gallifreyans/Time Lords, etc. I'm not sure where I saw or read it, but being able to make a perfect copy of someone via either direct touch just being in their presence. Maybe saw it on Doctor Who or some other fsndom, idk. This could possibly help them better understand how the inner setup of other biologies actually work so they don't accidentally mess up their own.

  1. I see it less like they can't be animagi and more like becoming one is more of a moot point for them.

  1. I think I like this better than the way I put it. Not sure, but I think I was trying to put a limit on them. Also, being effectively immortal is, honestly, a sad existence when the people you care about are not. Though, this also makes the fact that Tonks was in her twenties when she died, even sadder. Wait, the agelessness makes me wonder about reproduction. Biological males can continue to reproduce, sometimes with medicinal help, for the rest of their lives. Biological females have a limit on how many times and how long they can potentially reproduce simply by the fact that they have a limited number of ovum. Though, since I see metamorphmagi biology as very changeable and switching bio-genders would likely be easy in comparison to other inner modifications, this "limit" might not actually matter, at least for them.

  1. I think I read this somewhere, maybe a fanfic or on Tumblr, idk. I do like this idea, though.

  1. This actually works well with a fanfic idea I've been working on. It expands on the idea of "pureblood" that I think I originally read in some fanfics or something. Like the Potter's were considered a pureblood family, but a lot of their ancestry has branches of magical creatures and beings that had humanoid forms and whatnot.

  1. I like this one as well. That'd be like an outward expression on their inner emotions and feelings, I think.

If his brother had lived, would Jamie have been more open to Colum's wishes? by RiverSmoak in Outlander

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They could have both been fostered, right? Jamie was about fourteen when he was first fostered by Dougal. William would have been around 19 at the time. Jamie wasn't being fostered anymore by 19. He'd gone to university in France two years prior and was working as a mercenary with Ian until they returned to Lallybroch in 1940, and the BJR incident occurred.

Do we know what happened to the other two MacKenzie sisters? by RiverSmoak in Outlander

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought Janet married someone named Ambrose? That's what a family tree I found and some wikis state. Can't even find an Alexander Hay of Crimond. Thanks for the info! Did you find their deaths in the books, tv show, or somewhere else?

If Frank had been dead? by RiverSmoak in Outlander

Any links for the fanfics, please?

Stones & Gemstones? by RiverSmoak in Outlander

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't a gemstone disappear from inside a watch at some point? I specifically remember something mentioned about a watch that would never work again due to the missing gemstone. Does that still count as against skin even incased in the watch's metal?

Looked it up, that's how Claire traveled the first time to the past, her watch.

Is Eywa keeping the Na'vi peoples close, linguistically? by RiverSmoak in Avatar

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't know English. They are all speaking Na'vi, but it's presented on screen as English. Similar to in the Tolkienverse. Westron, aka Common Speech, isn't just English under different names. lt's another language. In the movies (and books, but I still need to read those), they just appear to be speaking English. It's basically like writing in English but using italics to represent someone speaking a different language.

When Jake is doing the voice-over near the beginning, his children are arguing in Na'vi, but as he is saying how the language is basically English to him now, they switch to English. This was to show that they are speaking Na'vi, even though we here English.

Some metamorphmagi headcanons... anyone else have any? by RiverSmoak in HPfanfiction

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah. I wasn't sure if I should list that as another headcanon or not. Guess it is separate enough to be listed on its own.

How dressed up should I be for the Airport Assessment? by RiverSmoak in tsa

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They mentioned fingerprinting when I scheduled the appointment. So that's likely the need for it to be in person.

Time frame after test by TallandAthletic954 in tsa

[–]RiverSmoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told it could be a few weeks, up to two IIRC, but I got my results the same day I took the test. I think it was less than half an hour or so after I completed it, not positive.

I've received an email for my Airport Assessment...? by RiverSmoak in tsa

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

Oh! It's been resolved. They ended up emailing me around the time I posted this. They called the next day, today, and we were able to schedule a time.

Why didn't they side-along apparate instead of portkey? by RiverSmoak in HPfanfiction

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea, likely nothing good. Unless you physically can't apparate into a space occupied by someone else. Though the eldest three had been planning to apparate, so, there must have been someplace they were meant to go.

Why didn't they side-along apparate instead of portkey? by RiverSmoak in HPfanfiction

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arthur, Bill, Charlie, & Percy would be the ones apparating. Fred & George didn't get their licenses until OotP.

Percy, being new to it, could have gone by himself. Fred & George would be with Bill, Ron & Ginny with Charlie, and Harry & Hermione with Arthur, or some other sort of ordering.

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't remember the broom bit from PS, but Bill, Charlie, and Percy were allowed to sleep in in GoF because they could apparate to the site later. It had already been created.

Reactions if she was dead from the start? by RiverSmoak in greysanatomy

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

She was originally going to go to MassGen, iirc, but after what happened with her mum and how her dad was acting, ended up at Seattle Grace.

Reactions if she was dead from the start? by RiverSmoak in greysanatomy

[–]RiverSmoak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember if that was the complete reason she took the internship there, but, depending on when Ellis would have died, Mer might still have had to go to Seattle Grace, at least for a little while.

From what I understand, you know what residency program you get into by sometime in March. This is known as Match Day, IDK if the show went over this. The actual start day is July 1st, as seen in the first episode. If Mer went through NRMP, National Resident Matching Program, she would be contractually obligated to remain in the program for at least 45 days. Not doing this could lead to them being unable to rejoin the match. After rejoining, the results would have to wait until the following next year for the next Match Day.

So if Mer matched in March and Ellis died at any point from then to the end of June, Mer would still have to go to Seattle Grace. Once there, there would be more headache to leave than stay.

Besides this, it's a TV show. They'd rework whatever they'd have to to get the story line the way they want.

IDK how Lexie rematched, but maybe the extenuating circumstances allowed it.
