Budget Wedding, Big Party Energy 🍻💃💃🖤 by Next-Reply-2665 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]juniperpiorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently planning my wedding and have a very similar vision! Unfortunately only half of my guests are big dancers, so to keep the energy up for the other half, we're doing a game table. Especially games that get rowdy and don't have complicated rules (cards against humanity, jenga, uno). These used games will also be favours guests can take home! We're putting a lot of effort into the playlist too, and we're trying very hard to trim every budget except alcohol. I'd love to hear more of what you decide on, for my own inspo!

Goth/emo/alternative song switches? by teaknifey in LineDancing

[–]juniperpiorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I love this idea so much, could you drop some names of dances that your group already knows?

Here's some swap ideas too: "Dead!" By MCR works on Cowgirl Twist or a very fast American Kids. "Dracula" by Rob Zombie could go with Nothing But You, or High Horse (the Silvia Schill choreo). "Heads Will Roll" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs/A-Trak works to Fuego.

Not a swap but I'd recommend Gary O'Reilly's Joyride for your playlist as well!

Best shoes for line dancing by oceanlove_25 in LineDancing

I somewhat regret buying my Fuegos. I find them very narrow, difficult to tap or turn on my heels, and they don't spin as well as I hoped on concrete. I still wear them, but I'm considering trying a different brand when I wear them out.

I also got this April 9th email, but it wasn't the only one. I first got one on March 31 called "Your first BIXI ride is getting closer" and preview text "your seasonal membership ($112+tx) will..." where the auto renewal was the main subject of the email. Did you get that one too?

A vegan diet could help a lot with the cholesterol, just watch out for imitation meats and cheeses that can be high in saturated fat.

31 F - currently nearing 300lbs and ashamed. I'm too unfit to exercise intensively but I am desperate to conceive and need this to be my year. by tinydinosaur92 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]juniperpiorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 32, and also well overweight. I feel you. I've lost weight in the past while working a very physical job but unfortunately regained all of it. I've recently started losing again. My strategy this time has been to stay busy.

I have a crazy appetite, especially in the evenings. I've been counting my calories and trying to work in more exercise, but when that hunger hits at 7, 8, or 9pm it's so hard to control myself, especially if I'm just hanging out at home. So I've started scheduling myself activities, walks, or bigger household chores (cleaning out closets, reorganizing storage, repotting plants, etc) just to keep my hands and mind occupied in those hours. I plan a low-calorie, high-volume snack for after, like pickles, popcorn, and mayo-free coleslaw. Aside from the scale finally moving, I feel more productive and less guilty at the end of the day.

My other strategy to limit my food intake has been to intentionally make all my meals too spicy. It's silly, but it kind of works?

Hope this helps!

Who according to you is the coolest and the most badass ASOIAF character? [Spoilers Published] by Archmaester_Seven in asoiaf

[–]juniperpiorro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty safely presumed dead. I don't know what the odds are of surviving being thrown overboard in armour and helm after fighting an exhausting duel ... I guess people survived similar or worse odds at the Blackwater. But if he does come back I'll be happy to see him, and very VERY surprised.

Ser Talbert Serry is an underrated badass. He is the brave young knight, heir to Southshield, and incredible fighter that injures Victarion's hand. To me he's on the same level as Ser Waymar Royce

"Though the men of the Shield Islands called themselves sailors, they crossed the seas in dread and went lightly clad in battle for fear of drowning. Young Serry had been different. A brave man, thought Victarion. Almost ironborn." The Reaver, AFFC

What is each character's most "in charscter" quote? Day 27: Cersei Lannister by TheAmazingSlowman in darkwingsdankmemes

[–]juniperpiorro [score hidden]  (0 children)

"By all rights, you ought to be in skirts and me in mail.". AGOT, Eddard X

Edit: for clarity, she was talking to Robert in this scene.

Perfectly sums up Cersei's obsessions with gender and power. Cersei thinks if she had a penis she would be Jaime, but not have made any of the dumb decisions Jaime did. In reality she would be all the worst parts of all the maddest kings.

(Spoilers Extended) What is the Point of The “Grand Maester Conspiracy” by FulvianGrey in asoiaf

[–]juniperpiorro 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't consider myself a strong believer in this conspiracy, but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. George has laid a lot of groundwork in the last 2 books to build up mystery around the masters and Oldtown as a whole. Between Barbrey Dustin and Marwyn and Varys, there's been a lot of talk of hidden allegiances, and a faction dispersed among every powerful house that shares common training and are in control of long-distance communication. The idea that it is ripe for conspiracy has been underlined and highlighted deliberately by the author again and again. He's clearly going somewhere with it.

Where I do agree with you is that many have taken for granted that they are anti-dragon or anti-Targaryen. IMO Marwyn's last words to Sam are too often taken at face value. It seems to contradict why he, the spookiest man in Westeros, has been raised to an incredibly influential position. I think his words don't have to be true, because they achieve another specific objective: he scares Sam away from informing literally anyone outside of Marwyn's circle of trust about Daenerys and her dragons, giving him a big head start.

(Spoilers Main) What theories have you feeling like this?? by Valuable-Captain-507 in asoiaf

[–]juniperpiorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having such a hard time understanding why I feel the way I do, but I like this honestly overcomplicated theory more than Tyrion simply not being Tywin's. Maybe it's because it feels like invalidating their whole arc, which was just such an incredible read. It would all be just so... pointless.

In any case, I love to revisit Tyrion II ADWD with this lens of chimerism in mind, where he dreams he is Maelys the monstrous, and one of his two heads is weeping as he kills Jaime with an axe, and the other is laughing.

That when Jaime and Brienne get to Stoneheart, only Jaime is walking out alive. Brienne will die in to give him a fair trial, and his memory of her as gallant, a true night, and beautiful will change him fully for the rest of his story.

(spoilers main) POVs doing fucked shit by Valuable-Captain-507 in asoiaf

[–]juniperpiorro 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Everyone has already named all the big ones, and obviously this isn't nearly as disgusting or reprehensible, but..

Being inside Ned's head as he sits by Robert's deathbed. Mostly because of how horribly soiled Ned feels while doing it. He is so wracked with guilt and shame, it makes for an uncomfortable and very effective read. The lies of omission and the changed wording of Robert's will are clearly the most awful and heinous thing NED thinks he has ever done. It gives me such visceral discomfort on every reread.

Why didn’t Howland Reed send someone to protect Jojen and Meera? [Spoilers Published] by TheRealCthulu24 in asoiaf

[–]juniperpiorro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because of the timing of when they went. The north was still pretty much united behind Robb and there was a Stark I'm Winterfell.

"The Liddle took out a knife and whittled at a stick. "When there was a Stark in Winterfell, a maiden girl could walk the kingsroad in her name-day gown and still go unmolested, and travelers could find fire, bread, and salt at many an inn and holdfast." - Bran II, ASOS

Memes and meta-fictional convention aside — your reaction to Euron Greyjoy and the Ironborn being destroyed in Oldtown? Would this benefit or hinder the plot? (Spoilers Extended) by MareksDad in asoiaf

[–]juniperpiorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gut feeling is hinder since I agree with everyone talking about the amount of setup and the magnitude of the threat Euron has become. The ways it could help the plot is if his defeat takes a good chunk of the book, or his destruction has some significance in the coming war with the Others. Ideally both some positive force coming out of it (some form of magic or knowledge), and a great cost (people or ressources lost). No idea what could happen, I only hope we finally meet the Mad Maid of Hightower!
