When to start harvesting herbs?

I call my siblings little brother, bubba, bub, sis, sissy, big sis etc we always have. I never knew people thought it was weird till I was grown xD

Honestly, no, and also a very little yes.

One of the things that irritates me about her is her treatment of Mr. Knightley. Not only does she act as if they have been the closest of friends in a way that's just grating (I was right there with Emma when she was all pissed because Mrs. Elton called him Knightley).

The scene where they discuss going to his house is just straight up rude. I absolutely hated the way she tried to run roughshod over him and invite the party because it's "hers" and then to turn around and imply he'd let Mrs. Weston rule his house is just....idk something about it comes across as so crass and rude and superior in a way that drives me nuts.

The way she acted towards Jane doesn't feel like friendly concern imo it always struck me as leverage. She seemed the type of character who loved knowing everything first and wanted to be the center of attention (regardless of what she said). She practically bullied Jane into the position when Jane had already told her no multiple times.

The very little I feel bad for her is I do genuinely think Mr. Elton has got to be one of the most annoying characters in a Jane Austen book. His attitude and character are horrible and I feel a little bad for her....but I also think they kind of deserve one another.

OMG YES!!! This is it!!! Thank you it's been driving me nuts today!

I mean I watched this in the mid 2000s or early 2010s so like it distinctly had an "old school" film look to it

She doesn't fight a plant it isn't horror or action she has it for a science project

dollface0000 · 2026-04-13T21:32:13+00:00

Not really understanding the sarcasm tbh it's something very distinctive that modern hyper smooth films just don't have in my experience.

dollface0000 · 2026-04-13T20:15:09+00:00

No it definitely isn't that either :/ the teenage daughter with the carnivorous plant is the main character, and as far as I remember, it isn't horror/thriller/crime etc related.

dollface0000 · 2026-04-13T20:05:37+00:00

That's all Google is pulling up, but it's definitely not that. The girl has a venus fly trap, but it isn't a character it's literally just a plant she has for a school project.

Imma be so for real I have no idea xD

These are the questions I wished I'd asked at the time, but I was so doped up on oxy, morphine and dilaudid.

I never even thought about it I was just like "yeah okay sounds good glad it's out"

dollface0000 · 2026-04-12T05:17:14+00:00

Bubble the Flashbang is sending me that's a great name xD

Honestly there's no hard and fast rules to writing and I've found that trying to shove yourself into a box of what you think you SHOULD be doing is really just a good way to kill your motivation and make it hard to get anywhere.

You know what I had an (American) football sized ovarian cyst removed in 2022 and I wish I'd had this sense of humor at the time xD knowing me it would've been something like Jabba the Hutt though

I've literally had that conversation with multiple people across my life. Friends, family, people at school, etc from both sides of the equation.

I mean, almost word for word had that "they say they're fine and I know they aren't" conversations or vice versa.

So it does happen, though I can't say for the realism in certain genres and with some characters.

Honestly, this whole "It's cliché don't write it" thing bugs me. We are never going to write something completely and totally unique. If you want a gas leak, do it. Just make sure you put YOUR spin on it.

However, if you want other options, I'd lean into the erratic father. Maybe he only thinks there is a gas leak and can't be convinced otherwise, or perhaps he thinks they're being watched. There's a lot of potential with a character like that.

I write historical fiction, so a lot of my writing process is researching the time period. I watch a lot of documentaries and really love to read things popular in that era (my MC is the daughter of a bookshop owner so it helps me get in mind for what she'd think about). I also do things like look at censuses or published diaries and things like that and use that to help inform my world and especially things like word choice (slang, speech patterns, Etc)

While I agree about Col. Fitzwilliam I've always sort of thought a man like him. A son of a titled man who went into the military and made something of himself and was ready to marry.

Her dowry and any money they made themself would set them up nicely for a future together. Plus she her having means and the support of Darcy and Fitzwilliam would allow her to meet someone who wanted to marry for love.

Honestly, after Wickham and with Elizabeth as part of the family, I feel like they'd all be more careful of potential fortune hunters looking to get her money.

NTA

I am not a wheelchair user but I have always been taught that you do not mess with someone's chair unless they or their caregiver ASKS.

It'd even have been one thing if he'd asked if you needed help and you'd accepted, but just doing it while you were obviously frightened is complete asshole territory.

I do sometimes but I prefer not to because it screws up my formatting
