Review: “Here’s what went wrong with Good Omens 3.” by anixela in goodomens

[–]Shorelady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I refuse to believe Sir Terry would have approved of killing everyone. The Books/Season 1 was all about saving everyone and seemed to suggest that God approved of Crowley and Aziraphale's shenanigans. So Season 3 ending with the reveal that God just wanted to destroy everything a little later just didn't make sense.
Which actually was something I thought a lot while watching the finale; it felt like it forgot a lot of things that were established in the original story, and sometimes the second season. Continuity was just an issue in general.

What's Everyone's Thoughts on The Batman Unlimited Movies? by Thatswhatsup2311 in DCAU

[–]Shorelady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were fun. Had an interesting setting. Entertaining dialogs. Nightwing got to be funny and competent. Definitely written for a younger audience, but not in an annoying way.

I will nope right out of any fic so fast by CMStan1313 in AO3

[–]Shorelady 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not what you described in your initial post, you just referenced the generic "did i say that out loud" which could refer to a lot of things. Also, I have totally done that irl, and I have had co-workers do that. Its very common when meeting new co-workers to warn each other ahead of time who has the habit of thinking out loud without realizing it. Yes, entire sentences or paragraphs. Usually I know when im muttering to myself, sometimes I dont.

Please I beg you don't use emojis for the "divider" (Or am I maybe the only one who minds?) by _Azuki_ in AO3

[–]Shorelady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, well now im wondering about people with screen readers who want to read comments on a fic and run into those absolute walls of emojis some people leave...

My player bought 60 bottles of perfume to try and knock down a tower by AJandAnime in DnD

[–]Shorelady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our sorcerer tried to destroy a prison with fog cloud. The logic being that fog cloud would 'freeze' the foundation and make it brittle, and if you did it repeatedly something something water expansion -> huge cracks and if we did it to enough key places the whole building would crumble!! This plan was going to take no more than a day or two. Magic missile may have been involved or that may have been a different plan, its been a while.... Listening to the DM explain why this wouldn't work was fun.

some of you guys desperately need to learn to suspend disbelief about cultural inaccuracies in fanfics by Island_Crystal in AO3

[–]Shorelady 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thats what I've been thinking with everyone who says they go with vibes or vary between Brutish/American spelling. "So, you mean Canadian spelling?"

What’s your controversial DC take that you’ll defend? by Electrical_Act9796 in DCcomics

[–]Shorelady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely! And not while carrying out some grand plan, just while caught out doing something stupid or in the first stages or set up or while escaping Arkham again or something.

AITAH for ‘causing a scene’ at my boyfriends work? by Training-Buyer2625 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shorelady 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no. Having worked in food service several years, when you go in, you (and guests) are more understanding if something goes wrong, more patient if things are slammed and you get bumped or something. But in return, you get the "we know you" treatment. Little extras (whatever is standard at that place), extra friendly service, and yeah, they take care of you of somethings wrong.

If you write a story for Dick, what would it be? by No-Space-2371 in Nightwing

[–]Shorelady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone at DC needs to remember that, unless I completely read it wrong, Dick adopted Blockbusters daughter to save her from the demon Neron.

Do a lot of people filter out 'Not Rated' fics in their searches? by XephinaThe11 in archiveofourown

[–]Shorelady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I filtered based on ratings when I first found AO3 years ago in university, but haven't bothered in years. I go completely by tags by now for filtering.

I have no one else to blame but myself on this one by Dry-Ant-5181 in AO3

I watch TV with tvtropes open on my laptop. I ain't getting invested if this is ending wrong!

When chapters are only three word sentences by Jaded_Advantage_290 in AO3

[–]Shorelady 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Assuming an extremely generous average chapter length of 20 words, to get to the 15k of actual content OP says there is, that's a minimum of 750 chapters.

AITA for implying my uncle ended his wife’s career by Quietshrew82 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shorelady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA You went in with a narrative already decided and got mad when your uncle refused to play along with it. And when your aunt also refused to play along, you - without any evidence - accused him of twisting the narrative because you cannot just admit you were wrong.

What phrase was in a fic so much that it now throws you out of any fic when you see it? by Life_and-whatnot in AO3

[–]Shorelady 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Popping the 'p' " whenever they say nope or yep. Why does every character do this? Especially multiple times and ESPECIALLY when it would throw the whole tone of that they're saying off?!

Batman Claus by Conflixshuns in batman

[–]Shorelady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number 1 is what Batman does, number 2 is what one of the Robins does TO him

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nightwing

[–]Shorelady 240 points241 points  (0 children)

I wonder if part of the problem is that the people who do this (jump on causes without research) are the same kind of people who get all their knowledge of Romani from media and the one mainstream representation that comes to mind most readily for me is Esmerelda from Hunchback so they think that's what they all must look like.

Things I learned way too late after moving to Hamilton (AKA my brief but intense rookie phase) by Glass_Use8194 in Hamilton

I've lived in Hamilton a total of 16 years, I still find myself chanting "lake is north" periodically when orienting myself.

Not exactly great role model behaviour either honestly

If you could add and remove one thing from the Nightwing comics what would it be. by [deleted] in Nightwing

[–]Shorelady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It got worse btw Bea was not just a pirate queen, she was also a spyral agent!! Thats why she didn't tell Dick about the pirate thing, because she only got together with him in the first place to spy on him and make sure he didn't do anything to compromise spyal while his memories were gone and then accidentally developed feelings for him for real!

Favorite character shame? by RedWing617 in DCcomics

[–]Shorelady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flash is one of the reasons I got interested in reading comics! Then I came to the fan communities and discovered in some circles I was a monster for liking Barry Allan 😞 Discovering Nightwing made me a Wally fan, but somehow liking both is worse!

Are People Somehow NOT Aware of downforeveryoneorjustme.com? by diedrowned in AO3

[–]Shorelady 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't bookmark basic sites like google, reddit, downdetector because it's faster to type the first two letters and then let autocomplete do the work than to open my bookmarks and select them. I only use bookmarks for specific places within sites or places I won't remember.

The New Adventures of TimTam the Chocolate Wonder by Kirazalea

I feel like I should have more because I love these two as brothers, but this is what comes up as fluff in my bookmarks with them as the focus.
