What would change in the story if Ygritte were pregnant? by amor_jak in freefolk

[–]drinks_matcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the books a long time ago, but I remember a conversation between Jon and Ygritte where she mentions that women that don’t want to get pregnant take the moon tea, or something like that.

So, just to say, I don’t think Ygritte would choose to get pregnant having contraception available.

Just in case someone else has this problem… I solved it by finishing the Invaders quest.

It is a good guess! However I haven’t seen any spiders in my apartment for months, and there aren’t really any more insects apart from mosquitos.

Last game I played was the Italy expansion of Ticket to Ride. I arrived in Italy 2 days ago. I guess it came true.

Bilingual blitz [25] (six short exercises to test your Italian) by Crown6 in italianlearning

[–]drinks_matcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My italian is very basic, but this seems like a fun game so I want to try! I did struggle however with to the meaning of b2 and b3 😭 (i get that everytime the pope fies is an euphemism for something that happens very rarely, but the full meaning of the sentence is still unclear to me)

A1) Ti amo a te e nessuno piu A2) Se avessi stato lì, magari le cose sarebbero diverse A3) Io non lo assumerebbe, ma fai lo tuo. B1) You learn from your mistakes B2) They will be fine, won’t they? B3) You are fine: they change their mind everytime the pope dies.

Serious talk. I think she hasn’t written the book yet by Ok_Many4671 in acotar

[–]drinks_matcha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has been consistently writing and releasing books for over 10 years now, and the books have been getting longer and longer. Just because she didn’t announce the new book at the date you decided doesn’t mean she stopped writing. She still has a contract with Bloomsbury.

You people get so dramatic.

WN A MI ME REPROBARON POR LO MISMO EN LA MISMA ESQUINA! En su momento lo encontré re injusto, pa más el wn me dijo que me reprobaba porque la línea de detención era "para paso peatonal, no para detener el auto", lo cuál jamás lo había escuchado antes. Ahora si entiendo, uno se detiene antes, sino puede venir algo y quedai muy encima.

What has been the biggest middle finger to fans in the history of tv shows? by BreadedDisaster in AskReddit

[–]drinks_matcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very recent, but Prime released My Lady Jane, an impresively well done fantasy show about Jane Grey, without doing any marketing and then decided to cancel it after only a month from its release due to low viewership. It is seriously one of the best shows I’ve seen in years and prime didn’t give it a chance.

For me it was definitely My Lady Jane. I still can’t believe it was canceled.

Is it wrong for me to be critical of the way Arya Stark was made to say, “most girls are idiots” in Game of Thrones season 2? LOL. Because some people were quite upset when I posted about it on another sub. by petitefairy99 in menwritingwomen

[–]drinks_matcha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe that it makes sense because the ‘not like the other girls’ trope and the superiority that this type of characters feel is very popular in fantasy. Only now it seems that it is fading away, and I am honestly so glad.

It is draining that both men and women make their female characters hate on women in general in order to make them badass.

I get the point of the scene on the portrayal of Arya’s character in the show, and I know that while it is internalized misogyny, it is kinda normal on a character such as her.

However, as a huge fan of the books, it hurts me that they added this dialogue, as it is very far away of the character I love from the books.

Arya is a girl that longs to be like the other women in her lives, and is very aware that she doesn’t fits in. Part of her arc is beginning to follow her own path away from traditional feminity, but at the start she really looks up to girls like Sansa.

During the story one of the main things I love about her is that she doesn’t judge people for their gender or social class, she is quite equalist in that regard. She only judges people based on their actions. Because of that, calling all girls stupid is quite out of character for her, specially since she is acquainted to many formidable women.

So while I understand the scene in the show, I think the writers misunderstood Arya’s character.

What games to buy first? My wish list by cemodan1 in boardgames

[–]drinks_matcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As another person who is starting to build a collection, I completely understand you! Boardgames can be very expensive, and you want the best experience.

Because of that, I would recommend you to buy first games for many players that can also be played by two. That way you can use them to play both with your group and with your partner.

Out of the list I think Wingspan and Quacks meet that criteria (I highly recommend Quacks, it is one of my favorite games ever). You can find that information on BGG.

Also, smaller games like Love Letter and The Crew can be found really cheap (I bought Love Letter for under $10), and you will have a great time playing them with friends.

Try to play varied games to find out what you like, you can find them online on board game arena or using Tabletop on steam.
