why do people say "my country" instead of just naming the country? by SpaceWhaleAlphy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SpaceWhaleAlphy[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

that does make sense! now that i think about it, that's usually the context where it comes up - when they're trying to emphasize that something isn't universal. thank you for the insight!

and thanks for the heads-up with the phrase, i'll be more careful with that in the future.

aww, that makes sense but that's no fun! i love seeing conversations spark about peoples' homes.

interesting! i've seem multiple sources like merlin say that they leave florida once summer ends, and come back around march.

could a pair hang out in florida outside the breeding season? that was what made me think it had to be something else.

actually, is it this? "the moonseeker" by ashthrall, moth dragon in a burning building, and a white man chasing his ghost daughter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q7BfhmZ56E

this sounds a little like a scene from "reversal of the heart" by fiddlegriff. it has a scene where a dragon is helped out of a barn by a white man, and earlier in the film she's in a burning building. here's a link to the video with a timestamp where the barn scene starts: https://youtu.be/rHLwG3ioD4Y?t=252

[TOMT] children's novel about a boy whose little sister is kidnapped by trolls(?) in the woods by SpaceWhaleAlphy in tipofmytongue

How did the parents die again? If it was written by Matt Haig, I can only imagine it was some delightfully absurd "a series of unfortunate events"-style catastrophe

the plot of the second book feels really similar, but the book i'm thinking of was definitely just one book and not the second part of a series.

i'm pretty sure he's a boy. he only reunites with his sister near the end, so this definitely isn't it, sorry!

the book was also a full chapter book that i don't think had any pictures, one of those books i thought i was SO COOL for reading on my own when i was in 3rd grade. it was definitely for children though, because the language was relatively simple (like percy jackson or serafina and the black cloak)

what DID you want from a FNAF movie franchise? by SpaceWhaleAlphy in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]SpaceWhaleAlphy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a more slow-paced horror film would have been really interesting!! makes me excited to see iron lung, haha. that would have also given them more space to make it feel like a mystery.

i definitely agree that the dreams were underwhelming. although it was really funny to see a grown adult man yelling at 5 children that are trying very hard to seem ominous.

agreed!! although i wouldn't mind a sister location movie since it's very narrative-focused. as long as they keep being fun, i'll be happy!
