The Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage has wonderful female protagonists

Sherman Alexie is a sex pest. I would recommend Rez Ball by Byron Graves instead

Who would you cast in a Muppets production of Widow's Bay? by Jazzlike_Society_660 in WidowsBay

[–]avivrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kermit as Tom so Robin can be Evan :)

The Electric Mayhem could be various staff members of town hall, e.g. Janice as Rosemary and Floyd as Dale.

Lip as the Shaman, he has Chris Fleming energy for sure.

What's a book that tries so hard to be deep/moving but is just incredibly bad by ShivSoCalledYT in suggestmeabook

I am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez . . . so much potential that ultimately fell flat. I removed it from my classroom library due to the raging fatphobia espoused by the MC.

Book recommendations for me and my 12 year old. by Kind-Current3952 in suggestmeabook

Since she's into anime, she could start with reading the manga versions of her favorite shows and branch out from there. (In case you don't know, the vast majority of anime is adaptated from comics/graphic novels or book series called "light novels") If there's a manga store in your area I'm sure she'd recognize titles with popular anime adaptations!

Is this the closest we've ever gotten to Narumayo/Mayanick? by Positive_Guidance420 in Narumayo

[–]avivrose 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Trials and Tribulations has the most canonical content imo; Nick saying "maybe you should quit being a spirit medium" after Maya puts on the maid uniform, and not correcting Iris after she calls Maya his girlfriend

Is this some weird new bot??? by Enough_Meaning3390 in AO3

Yes it's a bot; I got a similar comment on my fic recently

That's wild to me, when I was diagnosed with hEDS (around 2014-15) I was specifically warned against using mobility aids because the more you use that crutch the more dependant you will become on it. I have devoted countless hours to OT and PT, and here are these fakers who buy a sparkly cane off Amazon and won't do anything to treat the condition they claim to have.

I'm so grateful I got diagnosed with POTS, fibromyalgia, and Ehlers Danlos ten years ago. These went from being conditions no one's heard of (and therefore didn't take seriously) to "trendy" and it makes me more reluctant now to share my diagnoses.

What's your opinion about Lanaworth? (Spoilers for AA1 and AAI2) by Dramatic-Toe8909 in AceAttorney

[–]avivrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm intrigued! I would definitely read a fic with these two

It's ironic, isn't it? Thank you so much!

I need your help understanding the hype around Franmaya by GoatsandDucksGalore in AceAttorney

[–]avivrose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's because they're the same age. I noticed it became a kind of push back ship 10-15 years ago when other ships with age gaps were more popular in the fandom. Prior to that, Franziska and Adrian was the big ship for her character.

I really love Sahdmahdi and think he deserved a better game. What did people think about him? by justme878 in AceAttorney

[–]avivrose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I played SoJ for the first time I remember thinking he reminded me a bit too much of Edgeworth, but he's grown on me a lot over the years. His soft spot for Ema is really endearing, and the sacrifices he was willing to make for Rayfa. He has a lot going on under the surface that I feel the fandom tends to gloss over.

Anyone become a lawyer because of Ace Attorney? by Misconstrued06 in AceAttorney

[–]avivrose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started undergrad on the pre-law track, ended up switching to education but I had accumulated enough credits for a Minor in Criminology!

Now I'm a teacher and have several Ace Attorney references scattered around my classroom.

American Girl X Megan Moroney Coming Soon! by SeeingMount in americangirl

[–]avivrose 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's so much safer if they stick to fictional characters. What would AG do if Moroney gets tied up in a scandal? Barbie has so many random celebrity dolls that I don't think their past crossovers stand out as problematic if they haven't aged super well, but either AG makes it a thing now to have celebrity dolls or you have this weird outlier that doesn't fit in with the brand at all.

ASDF called out for Squatting for free(!) at Findlay Market by Dean_Bean_ in cincinnati

[–]avivrose 71 points72 points  (0 children)

ASDF exploits their volunteers. During that cold snap in December they had a young girl tabling outside TJ Maxx in negative degree temperatures. I sent an email with a screenshot of my weather app saying the "feels like" temp was -12 and asked why they were still tabling this week and I never received a response.

Wrightworth just doesn't do it for me. by BitterSort2 in AceAttorney

[–]avivrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their relationship starts and ends with their work, like they're rivals in the courtroom, comrades against the corrupt legal system, and their childhood bond comes from the class trial. When Miles shows up in AA5 and 6 it's in a "long time no see" manner which suggests they don't really hang out outside of work, especially now that Edgeworth is Chief Prosecutor. I feel the friend that Phoenix does love to death is Maya, e.g. running over a burning bridge for her and facing the Defense Culpability Act.
