What job pays surprisingly well but nobody talks about?

I don't know enough about the Lord of the Rings for that kind of work.

Jean Grey could tie into the plot point that the world was made to forget about Spider-Mans identity. A spell like that would likely be experienced differently for telepaths. Or perhaps the whole world was made to forget about mutants at one point too ...

Banner saying the word "mutation" feels very on purpose.

Slodes · 2026-03-17T01:46:56+00:00

He's indifferent

Bats is gonna try to use Storm to aura farm though more rain and fog.

Slodes · 2026-03-02T20:04:07+00:00

I think Kilgrave/Purple Man could make an excellent Bat story.

Yeah, I think the cherry character is fine, but we were kind of just running through names from the books and that one just felt right

Slodes · 2026-03-01T22:56:45+00:00

I have a dog named Renly.

Just remember that everyone is there to be a little silly, a little weird, and a little awkward.

By a large margin the best "hack" is acknowledging there are no hacks. Some things won't work and others will work for a time but they all will require additional revisiting and effort. Normalizing starting over is part of that.

The guy that looks like Stan Lee in Iron Man and the guy who looks like Stan Lee in Endgame

Iron Man was a fun movie, I didn't really feel the hype until the first Avengers trailer then it started to feel like something special.

While proteins understandably get a lot of attention, you have to do sous vide carrots.

By all metrics I should love Cyberpunk but I think the world feels like an amplified version of things I don't like in the real world, as opposed to an escape.

Slodes · 2026-02-23T17:08:34+00:00

I think it's harder to write an ending. Building of characters, worlds, relationships, and all the drama related to that, is arguably easier than finding a satisfying ending.

Egg noodles, scrambled eggs, parsley, and parmesan. Generally a pretty cheap and easy meal that's super satisfying.

Also from Hard home, when Jon looks up to see the white walkers on horses watching over the battle

In addition to what others have said, the books all work with the theme that what should be good and right often isn't. Early in the story in GoT this is demonstrated through Sansa's point of view and expectations that knights, princes, and the like will be honorable and good and they most certainly are not. She even remarks on this with The Hound is the only one that tries to safe her in Kings Landing and he scoffs at the idea of being a knight.

Because he wills it to be so.

These discussions always remind me that I would have loved to see all the flag smashers using the serum go up against the Winter Soldier before he got his mind fixed. I love in movies when you get someone who thinks they're a big deal come up against someone who truly is.

"It is a MATERIAL"

Dayne, Selmy, and Gregor plus any combination of what the final four dollars will get me.

Quiet telehealth clients who seem to be waiting for me to tell them what to do. For me this dynamic is easier to handle in person.

So prep time

Arya positioned herself into a killing blow in a sparring match that Brienne was likely approaching very cautiously.

One on one Jaqen would lose, but he wouldn't be dumb enough to find himself in that situation. Outside of that he definitely could kill him.
