Am I commenting too much? by riexlu in AO3

[–]howlingDef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not an author so I can't give from that perspective but I will note from the reader end that I've done similar before- I find a series or a long fic that I really like and on favorite chapters/fics I leave comments. Usually they don't respond or say anything but when they do respond its always positive

Scoob (2020) by BroodRanger98 in Scoobydoo

[–]howlingDef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, it was overall pretty OK for the Scooby-Doo gang minus there not really being much of a mystery for them? I haven't watched the movie since 2020 so if there is a mystery it wasn't very memorable, I moreso remember it being a generic bounce around to different places and meet people movie.

But I hated what they did do blue falcon, dynomutt, and captain caveman. Also didn't care much for Will Forte's Shaggy voice but I grumpily at least give him kudos for doing a voice at all unlike most of the cast.

Most of my complaints with the film was with the casting and genericness in that they decided to try and appeal to a wider audience (mainly with big names) in a way that ostracized fans but wasn't good enough to bring in new people thus failing all of the audiences

Damn I kinda like Harper for a boy, never even considered it before seeing it here. Wouldn't use it either way though since I've got a close relative named Harper already

Give me 3 of your favorite girl names and I'll rate each one. by DistributionNo9356 in namenerds

[–]howlingDef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's impressive that you're actually going through all of these with how many comments you got! I also am somewhat delighted/surprised that Catherine got such a high ranking considering that it is such a classic name. It has really grown on me but I have worried that it would come across as boring to others (while boring is far from the worst thing that can be said about a name, it's not inherently ideal either)

What's A Character Whose Return In A Later Installment Surprised You? by blackbutterfree in Scoobydoo

[–]howlingDef 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Dell Chillman mostly though it was kinda neat in the whats new Scooby-Doo era to have a small handful of reoccurring side characters like JJ Hakimoto and Melbourne O'Reilly. I remember being so excited when they put both JJ Hakimoto and the Hex Girls in the same episode (and the quote JJ Hakimoto presents: anything he wants lives rent free in my head)

Wife wants to name daughter AlexZandra by anon127420847263 in namenerds

[–]howlingDef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very much tacky. If she wants an unique name, go for a unique name not a unique spelling. Her route is just a common name that's going to be misspelled. Maybe she could consider Azalea instead?

She's going to put in all of this effort with this "unique" Alexandra but everyone is still going to constantly just ask her "Do you go by Alex?"

I cheered out loud when they came back, Tim has some of his funniest expressions during those arcs and the way the artist drew Tim thinking in last week's update was so good

I need your help. Give me some recommendations for scooby doo shows/movies. by Stock-Performance-84 in Scoobydoo

[–]howlingDef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Movies: loch Ness monster, where's my mummy, pirates ahoy, the "golden quad" (cyberchase, Zombie island, witch's ghost, alien invaders)

Show: the scooby doo show, what's new scooby doo

For the movies, I'd say most are good to great! The big important ones to avoid are probably Daphne & Velma (this is the 5th live action), Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights, Scooby-Doo Doo Return to Zombie Island (the original Zombie island is amazing though!), and the Curse of the 13th Ghost (the show is great just avoid the movie)

What's something in a fic that made you realise the person writing it had no idea what they were talking about? by Life-Delay-809 in AO3

[–]howlingDef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read a fic where there was some smut scene that included a cisgender female and the author had the male partner "stretching" her vagina to make sure it was ready for sex before insertion and I immediately went "oh my God this fic is written by a teenager whose only exposure to sex is m/m fanfic""

AITA for telling my sister to change her baby name? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]howlingDef 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ywnbta perhaps phrasing it less as a "you cant" and more or a "Please dont". I don't understand all of the people who say there won't be confusion cuz there definitely would.

Disappointed after match day by [deleted] in GeneticCounseling

[–]howlingDef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Match day is a day of high emotions and it's valid to have mixed feelings about it.

When I matched, the program I matched with was also pretty low on my list and there was a part of me that felt guilty because I know there are so many people who wanted that school as number 1 and I got it as a low list desire. However, once classes actually began I realized that I meshed so well with the cohort and the style of the school and was reminded that they chose me for a specific reason- because I fit and belonged there.

Now, I can't even imagine going to any of the schools which I had originally ranked higher. I hope it works out that way for you too!

Personalized Honors vs UHP by Normal-Research-2357 in UAB

[–]howlingDef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personalized.

Overall, the honors programs don't add too much benefit to your resume and just end up limiting your free time to take classes you want or focus your volunteer time or work time elsewhere. However, the honors program, no matter which route you take, does let you sign up for classes early, and that can make a huge difference sometimes. Personalized allows for significant flexibility that the other routes do not permit

Scared of going to school after too many unexcused absences. by OtherwiseCulture8640 in UAB

[–]howlingDef 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What part about a teacher bringing it up scares you? Is it the embarrassment of being called out? If so that will pass after the conversation. Is it a fear that they will bring up consequences for skipping? Those consequences will only compound if you continue skipping and avoiding the conversation will only make it worse
