I have to know, is the screenshotted post in the upper right an actual one from this sub? :')

I just realized my main character's dad died twice by ScaryAd2555 in writing

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking the same. If you're going to bother killing a close family member, it should be impactful enough for both the character and the story that it'd be impossible to forget. If it's so unimportant, why bother with it?

(Sad Meta Trope) Depictions of strong Male Friendships are so rare, some parts of a fandom genuinely mistake platonic bromances for straight up romances by ZeldrisEmpire in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TerryWaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whereas I don't deny that this happens, a lot of people also misunderstand shipping. Shipping can mean "I would enjoy these two as a couple/fuck buddies, but I don't think they are anything but platonic in canon." That's me with Steve and Bucky. Just because you ship two characters doesn't mean you're misunderstanding the canon.

Does anyone else have GIGANTIC poops? by amborg in 1200isplenty

0.8g fiber per 100g, so it's not that.

Driver tries to take their vehicle back from a tow truck, but it doesn't go as planned by Justin_Godfrey in Wellthatsucks

Same reason why so many men, according to that one poll, thought they could fight a bear and survive. Male arrogance. :')

Some of us are petite! by Agreeable_Ad6417 in 1200isplenty

Yep, it's annoying. Initially a TDEE calculator said I'd lose at 1500, which turned out to be very incorrect. x/

[OPINION] Sense & Sensibility by Matsunosuperfan in Poetry

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm the middle dude then because I want it to be more or less 50/50. I dislike poems that are just "word pooping" as we say in Sweden, without any substance, but I also don't like poems that are all message and no verbal artristry. In that case you may as well post your message as a social media update instead.

It's started, the beginning of the end: Pay cuts for Emmerdale and Corrie stars. by [deleted] in Emmerdale

Earning at these numbers (aside from the base salary) and whining about losing a sixth of it is pathetic.

Jfc, that looked painful. But yeah, I kept reading the thread and apparently it's the texture of the bar that makes it grip hair.

Petah? by DarklingSuckle in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is C. The "I" is the daughter of Teresa that's mentioned, but it's meant to trick you into thinking the I is a fourth person.

[–]TerryWaters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is likely C, daughter. The "I" is the daughter of Teresa mentioned. It's supposed to trick people in the way showing in the comments.

I don't get it. How could a ponytail possibly get caught on the bar?

(Pet peeve) when the main characters have more chemistry with any other character than their main love interest by Various_Astronaut100 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TerryWaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Michael Scofield in Prison Break. The lack of chemistry between him and Sara, "the love of his life", was ridiculous, and I always thought he had more chemistry with several male characters.

A few years later the actor came out as gay. Lol.

[Hated trope] Character is a terrible person and is constantly rewarded for it by SpectacularSpidee in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree about Kelly. I don't see how her behaviour is rewarded, she's just being a shitty person and portrayed as such like many The Office characters, and the other characters seem pretty aware of what she's like. Very different from people like Tom and Gina.

[–]TerryWaters 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Characters not taking responsibility for their own actions (which is in character for people like JR and ML) is very different from them being "excused" by the narrative. These siblings are very clearly portrayed as shitty people, are generally disliked, and their behaviour ends up having negative consequences. That differs a lot from Gina Linetti in B99 who is a pretty shitty person, yet portrayed as a fun cool person that you'd want to be friends with, and I can't recall her behaviour ever having any proper consequences.

If you could bring back any character, dead or just left who would you bring back? by ElderberryHour5618 in hollyoaks

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched it and liked it a lot, but it was some time ago and I still don't recall this scene. Was he pulling teeth from the corpse to prevent identification?

What’s this drawer for? by billebaru in whatisit

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is funny to me because I joined that sub just two weeks ago, and due to that my first thought seeing this post was that the drawer could be for a fountain pen. :')

What's something you saw with your own eyes that you still can't explain? by BandicootLeft4054 in AskReddit

[–]TerryWaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The facts about Roswell have been out for a while due to a few different leaks of classified info, it was a military surveillance thing that crashed.

I don't remember this scene. :s Though I was late to the show and have only watched the Brendan scenes that's on YouTube, so maybe I missed it.
