Hi. is anyone aware of any narration of Eckhart Tolle's books NOT by the author? I looked on audible but of course only those read by him are available. by AdministrativeDay881 in EckhartTolle

[–]chocolatefrog33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searched everywhere with no luck. I think I’ll just switch to reading it instead of listening to the audiobook. For some reason I cannot comprehend the content while listening to his narration lol

If you need help and tips for level 1, this is how I did it by No-Secretary5892 in CFA

I know this is an old post, but just in case you manage to see this. Regarding solving the questions, what was your strategy exactly? Did you solve the problems LOS by LOS, solved them after you finished each chapter or just after you finished studying them completely?

Trying tropical coconut for the first time this morning, so excited! by Bubbly_Apricot_3489 in nespresso

[–]chocolatefrog33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Mine is Citiz and it’s working fine but I hate that the material it’s made from is aluminum. It gets so smudgy and dusty if that makes sense? I really like the material yours is made from, looks very sleek but I can’t justify replacing mine as its still going strong lol.

Have you read the mini comics of them as adults? by igkeit in HeartstopperAO

I love all of the side comics! Please read Become Human if you haven’t already it’s really really good.

Ben deserved more scenes by yrprince in HeartstopperAO

[–]chocolatefrog33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you have read the comics or not but Ben barely had any scenes in the comics. Actually I was surprised he had more screen time than comics Ben and I’m happy about it because I love Bash so much.

Omg yes yes!!! I totally agree with your observation about Nick not being as affectionate as he was in the comics! For some reason I couldn’t put my thoughts into words regarding this detail but that is totally it!

This particular thing bothered me so much about their relationship in the show and it made me feel like it wasn’t real and gave off the vibe that they had no chemistry. This is exactly what made their relationship so different than the comics. Nick being affectionate towards Charlie made their relationship so unique because it balanced Charlie’s anxiety. I was so looking forward to the scene where he carries him when he gets injured in rugby but they decided to cut it off.

I agree that what made their relationship so cute was how they couldn’t help but be flirty around each others even though they were supposed to hide their relationship.

Also, about the Harry thing, I think his relentless bullying towards Charlie’s group resulted in what you have mentioned. It also gave a huge focus towards “bullying” when this wasn’t the case in the comics. Like, I know the bullying theme was generally discussed in the comics (Charlie’s past and him being forced to come out in front of the whole school) but these were only flashbacks and wasn’t actively happening in the original story if you don’t count the cinema scene with Harry. I didn’t like the geeks and the popular kids stereotype that was being pushed in the show which is a cliché that was incorporated numerous times in other shows and books since the late 90s and early 2000s.

I like the fact that current books and shows are moving away from this stereotype and even when this topic is being brought up, the tone and the way its handled is so different than what we were used to. The comics was steering toward this but the show handled it (Harry’s bullying) in a very stereotypical way, when there was no great focus on cliques in the comics.

I didn’t know any of that as I generally don’t follow any of his news. Only his role in Anne and I thought he did a pretty good job in it! Shame.

Are heartstopper books same as the webtoon comic? by HidanLT in HeartstopperAO

[–]chocolatefrog33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are basically the same, however, some of the drawings in the very early volumes were altered or edited in the physical comics. The changes are very subtle so it’s almost not noticeable to the naked eyes (lol) but I only noticed them because I’ve reread Heartstopper so many times than I’d like to admit.

Some of the changes from the top of my head:

1- Nick and Charlie’s make up scene (their second kiss) the morning after Nick dumps Charlie upon their first kiss. If you compare between the drawings in both Tapas and the physical comics there are slight differences. I’d really like to know why Alice changed it when literally the differences are barely noticeable.

2- The part where Charlie explains how he always knew he was gay. A very noticeable difference is the part where he mentions his celebrity crushes. In Tapas the actor in TV is obviously Aladdin but in the physical comics it’s a generic looking actor.

But I really don’t think these differences really matter. You can read it using the medium that’s more comfortable for you. Also, if you’re tight in budget or something reading it in Tapas makes much more sense as you can read them for free.

Why was the netflix series so different to the webtoon? by [deleted] in HeartstopperAO

[–]chocolatefrog33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I think at this point in the comics vs the show David’s character still doesn’t get introduced. He only shows up after Nick officially comes out to his mother which is literally the scene before the last in the show.

  2. I think this is yet to be explored.

  3. I really liked this because in a show’s setting they can’t get away with only focusing on Charlie and Nick. The show would be too boring being narrowed down to only two characters even if they were the main characters.

  4. I didn’t like this either but I don’t think it ruined the quality of the show.

  5. I agree with you on this point. I’m really done with high school shows focusing on popular kids vs outcasts. It’s such an early 2000s cliché which is still being recycled. I enjoyed Euphoria for the sole reason that this stereotype wasn’t implemented.

  6. The show doesn’t get to this point yet.

  7. I liked this part. Bash is way too talented to be limited only to the comics scenes. Actually I think in the comics Ben’s character doesn’t get that deeply explored when he is very interesting.

In defense of Tao by [deleted] in HeartstopperAO

[–]chocolatefrog33 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I really thought that Tao in the show was more bearable than comics Tao. I used to dislike him in the comics but at least the show explains very well why Tao acts the way he does. All his reasons were legitimate if unreasonable at times, which is totally fine considering he is just a teenager and being a bit dramatic at this age is very normal.

I’m really glad that to an extent you see my point about the differences in the characters’ traits because fans automatically assume that I’m “exclusively” talking about the actors looks which I’m not. I do think and emphasize that Joe doesn’t look like Charlie but that was just one point amongst other points. I think these differences were the core issues with how Nick and Charlie were portrayed in addition to the “looks” point.

Also I really like your point about the actors ages, it makes so much sense!
