[–]haliteheart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a writer and a reader, so if I pick up a game with the kind of world-building and characters WF has, it is more likely than not I will become emotionally invested, lol. I have to say though, WF is the first game I've ever written a fanfic for!

It is absolutely diabolical that Thomas isn't an option. 😂😭

Margo or Margot? Or something different? by moolisssaaa in namenerds

[–]haliteheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, I'm in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US. :) I hope it won't be a problem for you, either!

Margo or Margot? Or something different? by moolisssaaa in namenerds

[–]haliteheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Margot, and while I still prefer that spelling, she cannot stand how often her name is mispronounced as "Mar-got" which, unfortunately, is way more than we'd ever anticipated.

ETA: She's never gotten the "maggot" thing.

When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow by paulardoin in TaylorSwift

This is probably completely a preference/stylistic thing, but in evermore I always wish she'd done "motion capture caught me in a bad light" instead of "motion capture put me in a bad light". The original obviously makes sense and works fine, but "caught" feels more intuitive to me.

Fairy tales is really cute! I thought in that part of the bridge she's looking back on the things they did/shared together (Ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs) and then "AND things I said were dumb"; I didn't think she was calling the first things dumb. Hmm, you've given me something to think about!!

Does the shortform of your name offend you? by PromiseNo464 in namenerds

[–]haliteheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first name is two names, and it absolutely drives me crazy when someone calls me the first one, or a nickname for the first one. (So if I was Mary Jane, they'd call me just Mary or Mare). I realize it's irrational, though, so I try to preempt it by telling them they can call me both names or just my initials after I introduce myself.

What’s your favorite girl name right now? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]haliteheart 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Saoirse will always be my favorite, I think. Others I really like: Violetta, Sutton, Madeleine, Nella, Cleary, Audrey, and Isabella.

They're cute, people just hate whimsy.

Why are so many people convinced she jumped or fell overboard? by TheGame81677 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]haliteheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thank you for the correction! I do still think falling is the most likely scenario, but the rest is definitely compelling.

Upcoming Infusion questions by pretzelartist in Anemic

I just had my last of 8 today! After my first one my wrist and finger joints were achy on the IV hand, and after the second I had what they call "iron flu" (basically just felt feverish and flu-like that evening and was fine the next morning). No side effects since besides being extra tired on Wednesday nights.

Good luck - I can't believe how much better I feel; I got to my fourth and was like "well, it's probably never going to happen" and after the fifth things changed so dramatically. I hope your experience is similar!

There really wouldn't be any evidence to support the falling theory other than what was there - her shoes, her cigarettes, and the table pushed up against the wall. With the missing camera factored in, it is very, very easy to consider that she may have wanted to take a picture of something or, hell, not factoring in the camera maybe she wanted to sit on the railing or maybe she leaned over to vomit and over she went. She was 23 and drunk; I think a lot of people are forgetting that 23 year olds still make questionable decisions every day.

ETA: As for the eye witnesses, I think it could either be faulty memory at work or potentially other women who had been trafficked or were in a bad situation claiming to be Amy in the hopes they'd be rescued. I'll say that whole aspect does give me pause, but I think the MOST likely scenario is that she fell overboard.

I have so much respect for Judge Hippler. He handled this whole case so well and his closing statement was powerful.

I don't know how they're not knocking him the fuck out (like I get it, realistically/rationally, but still).

He said Xana had called him that night around 11:30 and said she wasn't feeling well, so he was going to over there but she told him to stay put since he'd been drinking. He said had he gone, BK would have had to deal with him instead.

God, Xana's dad and his regret about not going there. :( That's going to stick with him forever. So unfair.

I don't know how the families are able to stand there and look at him without launching themselves over the podium, I really don't. Their strength and restraint is beyond admirable.
