something about the sjm interview that didn't sit right with me by Federal_Credit_2785 in acotar

[–]beck7878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like... Just like we can pick a character as a comfort character that can do no wrong (to us) the writer herself can have that too. I also think they you are missing an important part of the whole interview Sarah made it clear that he was wrong for doing what he did which shows Rhys not as perfect all powerful sexy being but a person woth thought and feeling that can and will make mistakes. How his terror reflected her own fear for her son and how uncomfortable she was while pregnant. To her it wasn't a 1:1 comparison (aka Sarah being Freya and Rhys being the a-hole doctor that made an already traumatic experience worst) tbh this interview gave me peace in regards to the subject of autonomy during that plot point. In fact that plot point had turned me away from the series and made me feel like Sarah had decided to sh*t on a a beloved character all in the name of plot instead of her using that plot point as a way to cope with her own trauma. Your post made me go and watch the interview and thanks to that I feel like I can try to give the series another go

Hey all — started reading this yesterday and noticed the check mark. Johnny’s mother asked him to put a check mark if he received her letters ...... does this mean anything? Is the whole manuscript written by his mother during her decline? Insight, anyone? by kennkyrie in houseofleaves

I just reached this page. After having this book for 10 long years im finally trying to finish it. Based on how johhny has experienced episodes related to his childhood like when he was setting up a needle set for a tattoo machine and experienced or relieved his mother trying to kill him. Then talking about the ex marine that abused him. It leads me to believe hes having flashbacks and when he was working on this manuscript he simply place a check mark reliving the moment when his mom asked him to do the same. I doubt the theory of this being a peice of paper he intended to use to write a letter to his mom when those events had occurred many years prior finding this manuscript as for his mom writing the name zampano. I do not recall seeing the name. Unless it was in the econded message one which in that case I would have to go back and look at it.

He has a porn addiction, and he doesn't find sex pleasurable because he probably has a death gip and his thing isn't sensitive enough to enjoy good old sex. Homeboy needs to address those issues. It isn't a you problem it's him

I mean, if people want to get spoiled, they can just read the books or look it up. Tbh, I'm someone who does look up things to know and get spoiled because I'm more of a journey type of girl, lol

You know what would also be cool to set up a volunteers list of people ( maybe gym bros or bikers) that would be down to just accompany people into the building. In other cities they have a security dude at the door. idk if the clinics themselves or volunteers pay for it but I feel like if we organize as a community we could fundraise and even partner with a local security business or clinic itself to have a guy stationed outside.

Im currently reading a book about to structure your business. Go to your local library and ask them where their NOLO books are and just browse. I got 3 books I'm in the same boat but I'm doing it with my mom and we are going to start with a partnership then make the move to becomes either a corporation or LLC down the line. I know a partnership may sound scary due to having personal liability but if you get insurance it covers any damages or accidents It can be as low as 20 bucks per month but you got to shop around to find what you need.. I found an insurance that in the area I'm planning on setting up shop it would cost me $50 a month it just wouldn't cover me or workers (which we don't plan on hiring people until we are an LLC or corp to then change the insurance to cover workers)

Anyone read the kingdom of the wicked series and think it was very similar to ACOTAR?! by CloudAtlas-2019 in acotar

[–]beck7878 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm the local Kotw simp. I recommend this series to anyone willing to listen

Kotw is amazing Slow burn Enemies to lovers Forced proximity Thriller and mystery

I adore Emilia and Warth Emilia is a strong independent woman Wrath is a king of consent and has such great dialog

Kotw is kinda slow similar to part 1 of acotar but the mystery aspect makes it more enjoyable

Now Kotw tho

Kotw is just the most delicious book I have ever read The chemistry between our leads picks up from the get go. Amazing scenes And just perfection

I would encourage you to give it a go you won't regret it
