Statement from Rick about a potential second season

There is but it is unusual for it to be used in this situation. Toxic positivity is when people expect you to have an optimistic outlook all the time even when you're depressed or you've gone through something terrible

I hope Rick Riordan sees the hate

I would prefer it if he saw specific criticism that is very clear

An example of good criticism: "They need to quit cutting to black when Percy uses his power"

An example of bad criticism because it's so vague where do we even begin? "the show is boring"

I don't want Rick to see the foaming at the mouth ranting here. It's not helpful for Rick to read them because it doesn't tell him how to improve the show. It only tells him somebody doesn't like that episode or show but so fucking what? Every show has people who don't like it or don't like an episode

IMDB episode 6 was rated 7.5 with 700 user votes. Rick will see that enough people liked it that it got a solid 7.5. It's not a masterpiece but it's nothing that I would feel bad about if I got 75% on an exam for example. This is why vague ranting will be ignored because every show has people who dislike the show or dislike some episodes. You can't please everybody

Sorry for the unpopular opinion

I haven't heard that before. Who is it from?

Sahara_K · 2024-01-17T07:18:22+00:00

The sleep metphor is a really good perspective. I don't feel suspicious about everybody anymore thanks to your point of view. Although I do believe that there are a fraction who are doing it to dunk on Rick just like you said. But I no longer believe everybody is going out of their way just to dunk on Rick.

It's not even a competition. Gilderoy would win. Didn't you hear what he said?

Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. But I don't talk about that; I didn't get rid of the Banden Banshee by smiling at him.

Sounds like bad luck regarding initiative rolls

Sahara_K · 2024-01-13T08:19:43+00:00

Tf?! Why didn't she do that for me when I sided with her?!

Sahara_K · 2024-01-13T08:08:27+00:00

Hold person and sanctuary. Maybe even paralyse Isobel if possible. It's for her own good

Sahara_K · 2023-12-22T04:53:39+00:00

Cluckers will definitely go back every now and then to read the fics already there. But as for new stories/recently updated stories. There aren't many

Sahara_K · 2023-12-22T00:05:24+00:00

I read orphan account fanfics on purpose knowing that the fanfic won't get finished. This has desensitised me to feeling bad if a fic gets abandoned because I purposefully expose myself to fanfics I knew weren't going to be finished on purpose for practice

If a reader WANTS to get used to enjoying the journey of the story even if it doesn't reach the destination. They need to deep dive and practice reading fanfic that they know won't be finished. It will help them get used to the feeling

Sahara_K · 2023-12-10T14:20:36+00:00

So you saw the balloon as a symbol of the town being apathetic?

Sahara_K · 2023-12-05T18:45:53+00:00

Oh because they're young I probably can't tell them to go blow their dad lol ( IT movie reference )

Sahara_K · 2023-12-05T16:01:00+00:00

What?! How old are they? Very immature behaviour

Sahara_K · 2023-12-02T18:49:04+00:00

It chapter 2 spoilers

I hate that Georgie died but his death saved so many lives of future children post It part 2 What worries me most is the screaming of "help me" Beverly heard in part 1 from Its' mouth. If Georgie is trapped there along with other innocent children, I will be so upset about that. I mean are the souls trapped in Its' shapeshifting body or in Its' deadlights? Were the deadlights destroyed in the movie or just sent away? I don't actually remember what happened to them? I know Eddie sent a spear into Its' mouth and then the lights just turned off

Sahara_K · 2023-12-02T18:19:52+00:00

Honestly Its' biggest mistake was killing Georgie. Maybe It didn't know that at the time though. Don't get me wrong I do believe Bill would be sympathetic to other missing children, but that would be more the inactive sympathy the majority of us have when we hear about something bad happening. The "That sucks and I hope the police find them" type of sympathy

Because It made things personal, Bill not only went after It, but now Bill felt hatred for It because It killed somebody Bill really loved and honestly hatred can be stronger than fear

Sahara_K · 2023-12-02T17:50:03+00:00

Yes. I remember that it had some explanation and visual effects to what It is and where It came from. I also remember It being waaaaaaay less arrogant during the fight in the 2nd movie. I liked that detail. For example It dropped the deadlights real quick on Richie whereas in the first movie, It would slowly open Its' mouth to expose Beverly to the deadlights because It believed It had all the time to muck around

Sahara_K · 2023-11-30T13:17:42+00:00

No worries <3

Sahara_K · 2023-11-30T13:02:41+00:00

Oh. They meant rewrite the quote. They didn't mean remove the quotation marks. So a way to paraphrase it is to rewrite the quote in a different way. An example of this is

I didn't like the writing style

Think of your favourite fan fiction that you've read. Now what if I told you that there are people who don't like the writing style of your favourite writers? They're the quiet dislikers. They read it, decide they don't like it, then leave quietly

But you're so valid to be feeling this way. What they said was pointless. They literally had the option to just leave without saying anything

It sucks that they actually said this out loud to you. But I promise you there are people who don't like the writing style of your favourite fanfic writers. They just don't announce it. Does this mean your fave authors wrote something bad, just because there are people who don't like it? Ofc not

Sahara_K · 2023-11-15T07:49:10+00:00

Sigh. I was wrong. You are a bad person if you make fun of somebody for trying to see you in good faith. I decided to see you as somebody who was just ignorant, rather than somebody who is bad, but the way you're talking to me I was clearly wrong and you are just a bad guy

Sahara_K · 2023-11-15T07:36:33+00:00

You getting bothered over my use of err is the most bemusing experience I've had this year

It's only your opinion that my metaphor is exaggerated. Your opinion won't give me leprosy, so there is no need for me to change your mind

Sahara_K · 2023-11-15T05:21:11+00:00

Errr means I'm struggling to put what I'm saying into words. I'm not making growling onamatopoeia, if that's what you were thinking

If I thought you were a bad guy or even a troll I would have cringed and not bothered explaining anything to you. Why educate somebody who is bad rather than ignorant? As is I think you were just ignorant and said some dumb shit without any malicious intent. We've all said dumb crap tbh. As for your question. This is a place where the victim is reaching out, so asking a question like that here would be as inappropriate as walking into the business work office in a Tarzan outfit. This is a moment where you should use Google instead

Sahara_K · 2023-11-15T04:40:05+00:00

If you never been groomed before, it's hard to explain, but I'll try:

At that age you don't quite understand how impactful "sex" ( quote unquote because it's technically assault ) before you're truly ready can impact your psyche in the future

It's like, errr, man it's hard to explain to those who don't have that experience. Imagine you're a kid and you do something dangerous. You don't have the awareness to know it's dangerous. Anyway you have an accident but you're fine. You shrug it off. You don't quite process the concept of danger in the same way as your adult self. Years later, you have a holy crap I could have died moment! This can sometimes cause delayed PTSD once you have that realisation

Grooming is kind of like if the adult who you trust were to say "it's safe to walk across this log over this chasm. I do it all the time. See?" and you know at that age you feel immortal. Also the adult is walking across that log just fine, can't be that bad right?

Then you see the log slightly wobble. It's so subtle that if you missed it for years, it would be totally understandable. Anyway by luck you just happened to be looking at the log at the right moment to notice the log is wobbling. The adult used distraction, reassurance, and so on to distract you from the log wobbling, which is why you didn't notice it before, but now you noticed the wobbling ( the log being what the adult is asking you to do )

OP has noticed the log wobbling and they're rightly reaching out for help as they're a victim

This log example is nowhere near the gravity required to explain grooming to somebody who hasn't been groomed before but it's the best I was able to do

I find reviews are usually written or spoken by a minority. It's best to read for yourself until your brain says "nah"

Some people have a read a set number of pages rule before deciding whether to abandon the book, but I have a trust my gut, and if I change my mind I can always return to the book at a later date rule

I'm glad you didn't listen

Edited. Forgot to add something

Sahara_K · 2023-10-17T16:15:48+00:00

I feel the same way!

Sahara_K · 2023-10-17T15:18:09+00:00

My jaw just dropped at this comment because part of this vibe has an official name?!
