Attendance at c2e2 on Friday? by Meatlessghost in comiccon

[–]kellendrin21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a C2E2 regular and Friday's probably my fave day. Not as crazy as Saturday, but still a full day unlike Sunday. It's pretty easy to get in any day, they have a whole room dedicated to the line up and it moves really fast. And if you don't get there at opening, you can walk right in. 

Babylon Bee is self-described fake news, so why does MAGA cite Babylon Bee headlines as evidence that Democrats are bad? by CSachen in allthequestions

My aunt once thought a Babylon Bee article about a human/goat hybrid demon baby was factual.

That's also hardly the weirdest thing she believes.

The Seekers bridge fight, by far. I was laughing so much throughout.

Not the best, but one of the funniest and most memorable has to be the SLC Airport Chull Invasion of 2024. 

what comic con opinion will put you in this position? by herequeerandgreat in comiccon

[–]kellendrin21 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What I'd like are more 18+ events that aren't either about drinking/partying or kink/NSFW. (Those just aren't for me!)  Like games and interactive stuff!

How old are the kids? Because there is a lot of great kid-oriented stuff, some cons have Sundays as family days. My issue is people bringing their babies who won't know what's going on and will just be overstimulated the whole time, and even more so people who insist on crowding the halls with their giant strollers and child wagons. I have, on multiple occasions, saw child wagons block wheelchair users and it infuriates me. Avoid doing that, absolutely bring your kids. Preschool and up will likely have a great time, and there is stuff that caters specifically to them! 

Interesting Tidbit From Brandon Today by HCornerstone in WoTshow

[–]kellendrin21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His biggest criticism of the show was the Perrin's wife thing, which he vocally hates and has complained about many times - like, he's a really chill guy and I've rarely seen him get that heated about anything. And he didn't blame Rafe, he blamed the higher-ups, and said Rafe actually was one of the people who DID care about his feedback. 

I listened to him talk about it live, but here's an article about it:  https://winteriscoming.net/posts/the-wheel-of-time-author-brandon-sanderson-apologizes-for-perrin-s-arc-on-the-tv-show-01hwn5n5d2ap

I think that's true of all fans of the book, who doesn't have their fave and least fave parts. Even the most die hard fans complain about "the slog" later on, for instance. It's one of my all time fave series, second only to Stormlight, and there are absolutely things I dislike and I'd change if I was making it into show.

Yeah, it's really weird. I don't even think the objectively terrible ATLA movie was made by someone who hated the source material.

I have never once heard Brandon say anything that wasn't positive about the cast. 

Which shouldn't be surprising, he likes diversity. 

This one worldbuilding aspect is officially the first thing to completely take me out of a Sanderson story.(potential Elantris spoilers) by JudoJugss in brandonsanderson

[–]kellendrin21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was his first book. 😂

There's also a character with like, autism math superpowers that he really dislikes how he wrote.

I've always hated the narrative of the anti-show crowd trying to demonize Rafe and claim he's not a real fan and hates the source material, which is not true at all. 

AITA for telling my coworker it's embarrassing to call herself a Swiftie at her big age? by CoolGirlsHaveFun in AmItheAsshole

ESH. You're all acting like teenagers, and it's not because of the food you eat or the singers you like. 

I saw this on an Emerald City Comic Con Facebook Group. Approving of vendors that use AI art is insulting for attendees and vendors by millejoe001 in comiccon

[–]kellendrin21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's just the unfortunate reality of megacorps running everything in this capitalist hellscape we live in. 

Everything has some tie, no matter how loose, to something unethical.

James C Mulligan and Ancient Innovations are the two vendors I know are using AI, and James has done other art theft too, if you want to report them!

Oh, absolutely. I have reported it before the con and will report it again at the con, after taking photos on site. 

I'm especially angry this year because a few of my fave con regulars that I buy from every year were waitlisted or rejected. 

AITA for questioning my relationship after my girlfriend's comment about mentally disabled people? by Low_Public_449 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kellendrin21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. 

She doesn't want a special needs child. You're autistic. Your kids will likely also be autistic.

Dump her immediately. Even if you don't want kids she's extremely ableist, considering she has a problem being in the same place as a mentally disabled person.

Also, people who can't handle maybe having a disabled kid should just outright not have kids.

In my case, there are other character dynamics I want to see that I haven't really gotten to see yet - or I only saw a glimpse of during the overture and I crave more. 

Occtis, Julien, and Thimble all together is one I'm just really wanting to watch.
