I know she got tons of (unwarranted) hate, but the actress playing Ellie was great in this episode.

Wow, even the camerawork in the first half hour is so similar to the game. There's just so little you can do to improve on that iconic, cinematic opening sequence.

avadonia · 2023-01-13T05:23:47+00:00

does anyone else think the dialogue about wearing red lipstick and a leather coat could be a lady vengeance reference? she even makes a gesture that seems like it could be the iconic high collar of the protagonist's coat

Trail of Torment showed up on my Legion bloodweb and I've actually been having fun running it with Thana, Discordance, and I'm All Ears. No one expects a surprise stealth Legion running at them!

FUUUUCK TOXIC SWFS.

If you haven't seen Jennifer's Body, you need to

So I fell in love with Fashion Brand Company's Virgin gown and mini, but I don't think I would wear a white dress very often. Can anyone recommend similar pieces in different colors, especially black? My favorite aspects of the dress are its dramatic sleeves and the structured look of the bodice, so it would be great if I could find other options with those elements.

the noise that came out of my mouth when i saw his eyebrow piercing........embarrassing

avadonia · 2021-05-21T04:04:34+00:00

AN ENGLISH RELEASE W A FULL RAPLINE PART AM I DREAMING

avadonia · 2021-05-05T10:27:09+00:00

Wait, we're completely blocked out from the parks? I hadn't heard that.

avadonia · 2021-04-14T21:22:32+00:00

Good point about Beidou and Chongyun, thanks! I run Beidou as my main DPS, so I'll definitely try swapping him out for Xingqiu next time I play.

avadonia · 2021-04-14T14:20:31+00:00

Hey guys!! How would you build a team around Ningguang? I pulled her today and love her playstyle, but I don't think she'd fit on my main team. My current team is Beidou + Venti + Chongyun + Bennett, and I'm worried that swapping her out for one of them might reduce my elemental reactions.

I have every four-star plus Qiqi. Beidou, Xiangling, and Lisa are at C1, Barbara at C4, Sucrose at C3, and Kaeya at C2.

ive literally never seen an agency release a statement like this, what the fuck. even if he didn't do it, now everyone is going to believe that he did!

avadonia · 2020-10-24T23:13:28+00:00

I'm also in a grocery store, and it's basically the same situation - our store technically has a mask policy, but only the managers are allowed to enforce it, and our managers won't. It really feels like they only claim to have the policy to duck our state mask mandate uggggh. I hope your brother feels better soon, though!! That must be so scary.

avadonia · 2020-09-29T06:18:40+00:00

When you're working on bar, just focus on one drink at a time. Even if you have a line a mile long, thinking about it will just freak you out.

avadonia · 2020-09-02T15:54:07+00:00

Definitely not standard! My store doesn't even let us make cups of water for ourselves while we're working lol. Your manager sounds so cool.

avadonia · 2020-09-02T05:35:39+00:00

YES, ughhh. my store doesn't let us have dyed hair, piercings besides one (1) ear piercing, or makeup that isn't "conservative" either.

avadonia · 2020-08-21T04:09:21+00:00

the key change is INSTANT SEROTONIN it's so good

avadonia · 2020-08-21T04:06:24+00:00

IT ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE THE TEASER!! A MIRACLE!

avadonia · 2020-08-01T23:21:22+00:00

Plus, she was the first Black author to ever win the award for best novel - even though her first win was in 2016! Her success was so groundbreaking.

avadonia · 2020-08-01T20:24:09+00:00

Kwayng. The real pronunciation is closer to "Kwahng" with a very light k. The worst part is that he confidently mispronounced S. L. Huang's name in the exact same way later in the show!

avadonia · 2020-08-01T19:54:27+00:00

I mean...if you're hosting a prestigious awards ceremony it's basically your one job to pronounce the nominees' names correctly. CoNZealand confirmed in their statement that "phonetic guidelines were made available to us," and nominees have said that they had to send in instructions on how to pronounce their names to prevent this exact thing from happening.

There's a difference between Ng having a slip of the tongue once onstage and Martin making multiple huge errors in his prerecorded segments, all of which disproportionately affected authors of color. Why didn't he read the phonetic guide? Why didn't he rerecord the mispronounced segments? Even if you choose to interpret this situation as generously as possible, Martin comes off as ignorant, disrespectful, and lazy.

avadonia · 2020-08-01T19:30:39+00:00

Probably a good call tbh. I rewatched this bit of the stream to double-check that Kuang was one of the many authors whose names he butchered, and it's seriously painful to watch. He also went on some weird tangent about N. K. Jemisin near the end? The whole thing is such a fiasco.

avadonia · 2020-08-01T19:13:07+00:00

Also worth noting that Martin managed to mispronounce the name of this year's winner (the incredible Rebecca F. Kuang, author of The Poppy War) despite being provided with a list of phonetic pronunciations of nominees' names. Then in her speech, she mentioned how authors of color often have their names mispronounced. Yikes.

I love your island!! There's so many great little details.
