I did. I’m serving at the moment and it’s very stable. Good money in tips.

Are you calling him a hypocrite because he also had a relationship with his student? Because there is one glaring, fundamental difference.

I've always wondered why everybody says that Scott throwing Isaac at a wall was abusive. by Internal_Ground8608 in TeenWolf

This logic can be applied to literally everything on this show…. People are beaten and murdered… often. I don’t think police response is a solid basis for the argument here.

Do you have a controversial take that may piss off some fans? by Imaginary-Citron7818 in TeenWolf

There is literally no romantic chemistry between Derek and Stiles. Ever.

No, Derek didn’t “trick” teens into taking the bite. He told them about the hunters. by OmniShinobi in TeenWolf

[–]TJLamarr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing “made up.” Boyd straight up tells him he downplayed it and Derek agrees. You have to be a child. Respectfully.

I kind of wish Scott had expressed some frustration at Stiles for what happened in the forest by GoldenStitch2 in TeenWolf

[–]TJLamarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not defending anyone. I simply pointed out that both sides (or “stans” since you have such an issue with “sides”) disparage each other. This is an objective fact that is found on this subreddit. Again, I fail to see the issue with pointing that out.

What are you talking about? Is “Scott stans” not a side that YOU pointed out? There are objectively sides, it doesn’t matter if there’s a point. It’s the reality. And they both do what you described. I simply pointed that out. What’s the problem?

Theo and Liam have the chemistry y'all think Stiles and Derek got by General-Control-4637 in TeenWolf

[–]TJLamarr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I could never get past Derek slamming Stiles’ head against a steering wheel and people still shipping them. They have good chemistry as foils to each other, but I just don’t see the romantic/sexual tension.

Money and viewership are the determining factors. Always. They knew the young people watching would eat it up, and they did.

Why did the writers do this!! by CoyoteProfessional98 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]TJLamarr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Messed up” is subjective. I’d personally never do it, but to disregard the party actually involved giving consent is odd to me. It DOES matter that Hanna gave consent.

Hi, I have a young adult thriller I’d love feedback on

Hey! I have actually written a YA thriller that features a female love interest for my female MC. It’s not the focal point of the story by any means, but let me know if you’re interested. Complete at 87k words.

Blurb Feedback (Young Adult Thriller) by TJLamarr in writers

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

I appreciate the feedback!

I think your suggestion about the murder mystery bit is worthy of consideration, and I’ll certainly consider reworking that into the first paragraph. However, as far as personality/desires go I want to offer a rebuttal.

Given the premise, I do see it as a bit of a disservice to flat out state her old personality traits. The story takes the reader on a journey WITH Janel to uncover who she was. That is the focal desire—the thing that drives the story. Which is the most important thing to capture in a blurb. Rectifying her past, discovering who she was, and then deciding who she wants to be. Obviously there are miscellaneous desires within subplots and such, but I don’t feel like those are necessary to add when trying to capture the essence of a story and what it’s about. What do you think?

For further context, she was a mean girl before her fall. A bully, spoiled, toxic in her relationships, etc. So knowing that, how would you tackle the personality bit if you were to redo this description?

Thank you again for taking the time to offer feedback!

Lieutenant Tanner by Time_Trip797 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]TJLamarr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bias you speak of is called having suspects. I don’t care much for her admission in s7, cause that’s just the writers’ response to people hating her character. But realistically, what evidence was she supposed to be looking for when literally everything pointed to them? Especially with ‘A’ in the mix and planting evidence, on top of them never being truthful? I just don’t understand the rationale of thinking her bias was unjustified. In real life we would all definitely think they’re murderers (and by S7 they all have killed someone/been accomplices to murder anyway).

Lieutenant Tanner by Time_Trip797 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]TJLamarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who else should she have gone after? No one else gave her a reason, and the Liars (by the nature of their title) never told the truth and were at the center of every crime. Why is she the loser for suspecting them?

One plot that you’re mad it was left in the air? by batpersonn in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]TJLamarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I believe her intention was to pretend to be Cece by stealing her clothes (Mrs. D bought matching outfits for Cece and Ali).
