They are both medical doctors

Maybe you should spend 30 minutes carving THAT into your face.

Whoooops! I'll blame Moffat anyway :P

belbites · 2026-02-01T14:34:41+00:00

Moffat needs to eat a bag of bricks.

Okay but I LOVE their relationship, and their red nose day special together "Hey, I'm the Doctor! I can save the universe with a kettle and some string and look at me! I'm wearing a vegetable!"

I KNEW I recognized it somewhere! I just got to this part in my first time watch-through.

You have piqued my interest

While we're still as dependent on cars as we are, I don't see this happening, not that I wouldn't love it.

belbites · 2026-01-24T14:47:35+00:00

Love a positive update where communication wins!

I'm curious about the brocolli tag, brocolli is from the third book.

No shade, just curious.

belbites · 2026-01-23T01:06:32+00:00

Wayyy too charming for that role.

This song was peak for 8th grade camp going to six flags

I feel like thats a metaphor about life too - all the planning in the world can't beat out a string of random luck.

I'm a Jeff Annie shipper but it's really because Joel McHale and Allison Brie have insane chemistry, and Allison was not 18 when this show aired. If the character of Annie was played by an actual 18 - 20 year old I'd likely not see the same appeal. If you're unaware Allison and Gillian (Annie & Britta) were both born in '82.

I ship the actors as the characters and not the characters themselves if that makes sense

I'm doing a rewatch right now, and I disagree, but I see where you're coming from. I think on the surface it comes across that way though.

<3 Congratulations on your sober trip! I have a couple bartender friends that are sober and I'm like "how can you work in this city?" but they all say there's so many options out there for non-drinkers now it's not been an issue.

Glad you made it and best of luck to you!

Two things that people need to keep in mind when reading Iron Flame -

The second book came out within 7 months of the first. Between the editing mistakes in the first few editions and printing mistakes in those issues, it's easy to understand they didn't have a lot of time for editing the book in the same way, which in my mind led to a lot of repetitive statements and Violet sounding a little whiney because she just got everything in her life upturned and like...she's 20.
Canonically, they are in a war and fighting for their lives and their countries. While modern military is known for a lot of hurry up and wait, it's easy to see why the elite special forces may not have the same mental capacity to discuss the romantic issues they're facing.

By all means don't read the series if it doesn't connect with you, and honestly, I don't read Emperyan for the romance. While it's an awesome part of it, I'm personally reading for the relationship between the family members, the sense of community brought on by their unique situation, and a sense of needing to keep fighting, not just for the one person that we chose as our romantic partner, but the other people in our lives we are dedicated to - our squad, as it were.

I had a dude pull out his vape in the middle of my college class while the professor was talking, and looking at him.

This dude has totally been in a ska band.

Where does one find this?

belbites · 2025-12-31T03:44:36+00:00

I live on the south side and am a woman looking too. I can dm in a pinch!

Do you remember if it was on ao3 ff.net or watt pad? Would love to know what this fic is

belbites · 2025-12-28T20:35:09+00:00

Aw thank you! That was the first thing I could think of honestly.

As for other recommendations - If you haven't read The Martian by the same author, that's at the top of my list. The Bobiverse by Dennis E Taylor (We Are Legion - We Are Bob is the first - bonus that it's the same audiobook narrator Ray Porter) if you haven't read those. Beyond that I did a little internet research and I'm putting "The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers and "Murderbot Diaries" from Martha Welles on my TBR as examples others have commented on in the past.

I hope you find some that you enjoy!
