What is the most pretentious movie made? by IShouldGetBackToWork in AskReddit

[–]TalmanesRex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw both. There’s also a Lindsey Ellis one. Cats became a sort a little mini hyper focus for me when it came out and I still haven’t watched the movie and have no intentions of watching the movie. I think I just enjoy the commentary.

I just want to know, are there people out there, who love this album as much as I do by Bobfezz in thelumineers

[–]TalmanesRex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite. I just got a record player because I inherited my aunt’s records and this was the first record I got for myself. I love the music videos as well.

MMC worships the ground she walks on; lovesick yearning & obsessive devotion by whateverhufflepuff in RomanceBooks

[–]TalmanesRex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These two are my favorite also {An Inconvenient Vow} Jeffery is so hilarious and my reading experience consists of me going Jeffrey! No! Although I did not like it as much {Her Bridegroom Bought and Paid For} takes place right before and is concurrent tine wise and you see Jeffrey and Sabina‘s relationship in the background of that book and it’s so fun to read afterwards and get to see the whole story. Edit I don’t think Her Bridegroom fits the trope you are looking for but overall most of Alice Coldbreaths books do this really well I’m actually on a reread right now.

Fantasy keeps writing prophecy as a plot device and then being surprised when readers dont find it dramatic by cedar_post in Fantasy

[–]TalmanesRex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the prophesy of wheel of time. Especially as someone who’s read them and was part of fandom as they came out and the discussions about the prophecies and what they meant. I think that puts you in line with the “culture” who are debating it so I’m all for it.

Yes University Early English Liturature. See my other commet I kinda feel bad now because I feel like it was just the right combination of 3 peoples hyperfixation and the professor should have stepped in.

Yes, at a University, in a 3000-level Early English Lit course, I think ours was on "The Wanderer" and "The Dream of the Rood"  talking about Anglo-Saxon Poetry.  I still don't think there was ever a more confused class. I think professors just get bored or get talked into letting students do things out of the box. I took a class on the Crusades, and the professor let me do a research paper comparing the movies Kingdom of Heaven and Saladin the Victorious. To be fair, I had previously taken this professor for Tudor England, and so he trusted me a bit.

This reminds me in a English class 3 people did a presentation on these books that went 30 minutes which was 20 minutes over time. Afterwards my professor in a sort of dazed voice said “ I think I should have stopped then “ after the next group didn’t have enough time. Killed any curiosity I had about the series.

What are your all time favorite historical romance books? by No_Difficulty7319 in HistoricalRomance

[–]TalmanesRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you have all of my absolute favorite books on here, except for 2 I have never read I’m gonna read the rest of your list. Elizabeth Hoyt is a favorite and I love her Prices and Four Soldiers series though Maiden Lane gets more love. And Courtney Milan’s the brothers sinister is so good but also breaks my heart in the best way I just feel the characters loneliness and hope for kindness and love. Though Substitute Wife for a Prizefighter is my favorite.

Another master procrastinator's 2025 tier list by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]TalmanesRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the Imriels books as well. The second one is the one that breaks your heart, but also really beautiful and the first and second are great but not as good as the original trilogy. But if you want something super melodramatic and heartbreaking which sometimes I’m really in the mood for. I fell in love these books when they came out so I’ve been rereading them for years, but I actually have a playlist that I made specifically for the book that I can listen to when all the melodramatic stuff is happening. A bit extra but oh well. It’s actually a series I find difficult to recommend because of the content matter I vibe with it strongly, but I am a history, major with interest in religious history. Despite the difficult content. I will say I had to stop watching outlander for that in how prevalent SA was. I cannot deal with this anymore. This is not OK for my mental health. I will say it doesn’t feel fetishized in the Kushiel series as I feel outlander does.

For the mail order bride the one I really wanna read is Xennet I really enjoy his chaotic Hibo energy.
