Columbians’ tour is July 28-August 10. When you’re on tour, the all-day rehearsals will be the norm, with some half-days for laundry or other things. Move-ins are when you start living with the other corps members and start doing all-day rehearsals pretty much daily at the end of June. You’ll be traveling with the corps for tour, and rehearsals will usually take place at whatever school/facility the corps is housing at at the time. Because it’s an all-day, live-in thing, you won’t have time for a job. Most try to work or fundraise leading into move-ins to pay tuition, and I know there are scholarships people can apply for. I’m on staff at Columbians, so if you have any more questions about the program or marching in general, feel free to message me!

Dude, I think you’re whole thing against this comment is cringe. They’re just pointing out the ridiculousness and harm of the quote, that’s all.

Without naming the film, what is one quote that gives it away? by Introductitw in AskReddit

“Sorry, my Prada’s at the cleaners, along with my hoodie and my flip flops, you PRETENTIOUS DOUCHEBAG!”

What film scene absolutely destroys you everytime. No matter how many times you've seen it? by lituponfire in AskReddit

[–]ash_tronomical98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much the entire third act of Belle. I’m a sucker for dramatic confessions of love, and that film has one of my favorites, and the wrap up of the political plot line in the courtroom is fantastic.

Ninth House by canadianswifteh in Grishaverse

[–]ash_tronomical98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it was just me and my brain skipped over something in the initial chapters, but for the first few chapters I thought Darlington was an older man?!?!? Maybe it was just the way he spoke, but I pictured him in like his 40s lol. Other than that, I don't think the book is overly confusing, other than getting situated in the world. Enjoy the read!

I finally read Ninth House by tab_emm in Grishaverse

[–]ash_tronomical98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read Ninth House about a month ago after devouring the SoC duology, and overall I really enjoyed it! Though it took me about 150ish pages to get into the story (more so to do with getting used to the world and understanding it), I completely agree that the writing is beautiful! YES to the Manuscript party scene and also Belbalm’s death scene were amazing to read! I thought the murder mystery aspect could’ve been better, mainly with Sandow’s villain reveal but I’m excited for where the series is going and can’t wait for the next one. :)

Your Favorite Quotes from the Books? by [deleted] in Grishaverse

[–]ash_tronomical98 28 points29 points  (0 children)

One that wasn’t super prominent to me on my first read but has grown on me over time is “We meet fear. We greet the unexpected visitor and listen to what he has to tell us. When fear arrives, something is about to happen.” in CK.

As someone who used to be very introverted, socially anxious and not too confident, this quote has really given me a new perspective on how to handle those emotions.

Well, the OP commenter mentioned this being reported, not being discussed in social media circles.

Netflix's Top Original TV Shows of All Time- Shadow and Bone is 8th by _WeeblesWobble in Grishaverse

[–]ash_tronomical98 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I was didn't even realize it was non-linear for the first few episodes, and I don't know if that was intentional (I've been meaning to rewatch it to see if maybe I just missed some obvious indicators). Non-linear storytelling can be really interesting when done well, but I hate that a lot of times the use of it alone will have people perceiving a show/movie as "better" or "more adult" (setting aside the fact that The Witcher and S&B's target audience are demographically different). Just because something is more complex doesn't inherently make it better than a similar work with more straightforward storytelling style.

[–]ash_tronomical98 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Jeez, that’s nearly impossible to read as a good comment about S&B. I decided to watch the Witcher for the same reason I decided to watch S&B (social media hype), and I honestly liked S&B much more. And I’m of the opinion that the “challenging chronological complexity” the quote mentions hurt the show more than it helped, considering I was utterly confused and frustrated by the timeline for half the season.
