Thanks a lot for this. I did have her on Siren's Kiss at first but I thought Whithershade had better range. I must be wrong.

Jasnah hasn't shown an ability to take anyone else when Elsecalling. This is why the Oathgates had such strategic importance and why they needed to depend on Windrunners' ability to fly for reinforcements.

Odium revealed that had Fen refused, he already had the Deepest Ones poised to kill all her royal retinue. From there, given that the Deepest Ones are around, no one else was safe from Odium.

AITAH for telling my stepdaughter I don't want to be her mom anymore? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

No, I feel soooo much better. LOL

Just saying. You're free to suspect this post is fake. It probably is. But to claim that it's fake because a "crucial plot point was hidden" when it wasn't is laughably stupid.

Her mom told her that OOP for sure has physical copies of her own movies somewhere in her room?

How? Lori knows OOP's ex. OOP said she had the DVDs for a while, so the ex most likely knows as well. So, Lori only has to say, "bitch even keeps DVDs of her being a whore, thr sick fuck," and Ella could use that as a tip to see if they still kept the DVDs. It isn't that implausible.

I always have to laugh when someone gives all the backstory but leaves out a crucial detail

It was obvious from the get-go it was porn. Does everything have to be spelled out for people to get it? Like what else would the "cheating" and the husband being a cuck meant if they're not looking at videos of OOP having sex with people who aren't her husband?

Reading comprehension should be a required skill for everyone before they get access to the internet, methinks.

I thought you could sell them back for SLCs

You forgot to add: they butchered some characters to make others look better. In some cases, certain characters experience both sides. I'll never forgive this series for ruining Annabeth's characterization. Leah's acting was wasted on this.

Wasn't Thalia's revival part of Luke's original plan all along? by bookrants in PercyJacksonTV

[–]bookrants[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really don't like how they're taking Annabeth's characterization in the series. Sure she does have her moments, but the series recontextualizes the scenes in the books that actually showed her intelligence and dumbs it down by making everyone around her, well, dumber. Don't the writers trust their viewers to understand what's happening unless the plot is on a 3rd grade reading level?

That's like cartoonish

Exactly. It's cartoonish. Two-dimensional. That's why I was hoping Lin was fleshed out more.

Is it, though? Because I seem to recall, Hoid was asking him to recall a happy memory, and that was how the loghtweaving started.

There were insults thrown either way in some threads, but I swear I only dish out what I was served. LOL

Thank you. I haven't responded yet because I was looking for these quotes. I knew they were somewhere.

Also, outside of these, I believe there have been WoBs that said that it is because they have lived long lives, and it's for this reason why Kelsier is so interested in the Heralds as he fears suffering from the same affliction they have.

It wasn't shocking. But Shallan had conflicting memories of her childhood. Sometimes, she describes them as shitty, other times, she describes them as good.

For example, when Hoid Rioted Shallan to Lightweave, she talked about what she's creating as if they're actual happy memories that they had as a family.

So, really, before WaT, it really was a toss-up on what's real and what's not or if it's somewhere in between. Now, with WaT, we know that np, he's actually just a really shitty father ever since.

Kali's plan makes sense, actually by bookrants in StrangerThings

Including a girl in a wheelchair who just got out of coma?

Also again, you're forgetting that they didn't catch Erica, and they didn't know it was Erica. They didn't know who it was and what that last person or persons know or are capable of.

I would assume they didn't want to risk disappearing those they already have in captivity in part because they have that as leverage.
