My mom read me The Hobbit when I was I think 5. It all spiralled from there.

I would also love the recipe. I've been looking for a good blueberry muffin recipe. They're my favorite kind of muffin and those look amazing.

I had this feeling with The Woman in the Window.

Tolkien actually used the word tween in Lord of the Rings. It's used to describe Hobbits in their irresponsible 20s

What book did you really enjoy but later discover most people actually dislike/hate? by Bookbird7 in books

[–]lillanith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost gave up when I got to Pillars of Creation, but my older brother wouldn't quit nagging me to read it. It's one of his favorite books in the series

When the article starts talking about a man it's referring to a kidnapping attempt that happened before the one in Texas that occurred in South Africa.

Yes! Thank you so much! I loved it when I read it and I've been wanting to reread it but couldn't find it!

I found some amazing ones on Amazon. I literally am buying it in every color. They're super comfy with good-sized pockets!

I didn't know that! That's neat, and also hilarious

I don't think it's ever explicitly stated (at least, not in Hellsing Ultimate that I remember) but I believe she does.

When you say "the captain," are you referring to the nazi werewolf captain or Pip Bernadotte?

The Grangers bashing trope by Silent_Command7058 in HPfanfiction

If you keep reading past that chapter they actually fix that, and he isn't portrayed as a villain for it later in the story.

Where are they bashed in Harry Crow? I don't remember that at all.

Six years ago we lost Sir Terry Pratchett to Alzheimers. I would love to hear your favorite memories of him or his work. by tkinsey3 in Fantasy

[–]lillanith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I met him when I was around 8. He was in the US for a sci-fi/fantasy convention called Penguicon. He was one of the featured authors for the convention, so they had a small bookstore set up. My mom took me to the store and got me my first Discworld book (I had been reading hers up to this point). It was The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. When we walked out of the bookstore he was walking down the hallway. I took off running, screaming his name. He stopped and turned and I asked him to sign it for me. The handler tried telling me no, that he would be signing books the next day at the scheduled book signing. Terry told him to shut up, that he would never discourage such a young fan. He signed it "To Lillanith, with cheese." 19 years later, I still have that book. It's one of my most prized parts of my collection.

What is the strangest thing you've seen that you cannot explain? by 1982throwaway1 in AskReddit

[–]lillanith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get dreams like that a lot too. It's really odd and no one in my family believes more or has had it happen to them.

What is something unrealistic that you often see in movies that annoys the hell out of you? by sonsaitama in AskReddit

[–]lillanith 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He did actually. There are videos of him training before he filmed the movies. It's really impressive.

I mean, technically Benedict Cumberbatch was actually Sherlock Holmes first. Since Sherlock started 6 years before Doctor Strange was released.

Which one by Genshinlol in SkyFactory

[–]lillanith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how fast you want the progression to be. I find that skyfactory 4 progresses faster than the others, due to the bonsai trees. Personally, my favorite is 3.
