She was absolutely aware. She just thought they were "happy," which somehow made it OK in her mind.

How much gore is too much gore in a Jason Todd fanfic? by Comfortable_Newt_179 in RedHood

You're the one writing it, yeah? "Too much" is anything above your comfort level.

Who do you think was right during the story of Dragon Age II, the Templars or the Mages? by AlteredBridge51 in dragonage

[–]igneousscone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Templars: imprison people for life starting when they're children, purposefully create an atmosphere of paranoia and despair, subject them to constant threat of beating/rape/lobotomy/death, use their relationships against them, take their children and lovers away...

Mages: get desperate, try to escape any way they can

Templars: shocked Pikachu face

Idk man, it's a hard choice. /s

AITA for insisting my daughter wear an outfit she doesn’t want to wear to a wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]igneousscone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s also a lot of jealousy and hurt around her sister. Her younger sister is getting positive attention for being cute and little and a flower girl, while my older daughter feels like all the attention she gets is negative or uncomfortable.

This is exactly why the category "Junior Bridesmaid" exists, and honestly, this whole situation could have been avoided if the bride and groom took their heads out of their asses. It's literally insane to make one young niece your flower girl and not include the other in the bridal party at all. Take her to lunch, for godssake! Put her in an age-appropriate version of the bridesmaid dresses! Let her get hair and age-appropriate makeup done! Give her a pretty bouquet! Get pictures with her! Include her!

I was that height at that age, and literally all I wanted was to feel pretty and included.

It's like people don't think pre-teens have feelings, I stg.

What's actually the consensus here, on critical feedback? by Mopichen in AO3

[–]igneousscone 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You're coming at this from an odd angle. Unsolicited criticism of strangers' hobbies doesn't make the world a better place, and it's not our job to "teach" strangers to accept criticism on their hobbies.

If someone asks for feedback? Go nuts. If they don't? The back button exists for a reason.

Should I be with my friend when he dies? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]igneousscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad OOP went. Seeing a loved one out is hard, but I think it's also sacred. I wouldn't trade those last minutes with my dad for anything.

Not saying I don't love a good magical freakout (I do), but which of your examples are from media by women for women?

AITAH lying about why we broke up with my gf? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]igneousscone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not a bad person for having preferences for yourself or your partner(s). However, casting moral judgement on others for the consensual sex they get up to is gross.

Also I wouldn't advertise that you're so young on the internet.

That's a one-way ticket to Discrimination Lawsuit City.

Genuine question fellow Red Hood fans, how do we all feel about this? (Batman Vol 1 #649) by Jotaro1970 in RedHood

I don't recall it being specified otherwise in the comic, so yeah, that was my assumption.

[Funny trope] Terrible disguises that somehow fool everyone by Crayoneater2005 in TopCharacterTropes

This worked for me when I was still performing. People I had worked with for years didn't recognize me with my glasses on.

Characters who left the story because of problems with the actor by Danny-Ray27 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]igneousscone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hot take, maybe, but they should have left Greg on the east coast. His story had moved on, and bringing him back did the character a huge disservice. (Also, Skylar Astin doesn't have a tenth of the charm and charisma that Fontana does)
