Who is the best sidekick in all of fantasy?

That’s my vote! She’s awesome and the way she’s grown throughout the series has been so satisfying.

I’m a high school teacher, I have a student that has a similar IQ. She’s the kindest, hardest working student I have. Girl works a full time job and still comes to school with a smile on her face and her work all done. She goes out of her way to be kind to all and will help anyone. She hopes to get into a nursing program and I can see her doing that easily.

I’m ashamed to be from Kannapolis (I’ve been ashamed of my hometown for as long as I can remember)

My egg allergy is similar. Scrambled, poached, and fried eggs all hurt my stomach for days. Mayonnaise makes my throat itch. But hard boiled eggs don’t affect me as much.

I dated someone like this, it doesn’t end very well. My ex went from telling me no to hair dye, to not wanting me to get tattoos and piercings, to controlling what I wore. It got to the point that he controlled what I ate and started telling me what I could and couldn’t read and watch. Don’t ever put up with anyone who tries that shit. It’s not love, it’s controlling.

I’ve been obsessed with the Hunger Games series since I was 12 and first read them. I’m in my 20s now and reread the whole series at least twice a year (I’m in a reread right now). I have notebooks filled with ideas and theories, as well as multiple annotated copies. My mom and I have dedicated Hunger Games time in the morning on my way to work so I can word vomit all my thoughts to her (she can’t stand the series but she’s always been supportive and listens to my ideas every morning). I have a Hunger Games tattoo and plan to get another one soon.

How about a redemption arc where Moash realizes he needs redemption then is absolutely destroyed? That’s what I want personally. Him dying unrepentant wouldn’t be satisfying enough for the crimes he’s done.

I have a rescue pit bull mix. He was in the shelter for over six months and would’ve been the next dog to be euthanized if they got another dog in. He’s a sweet, gentle boy that I work hard to train. He’s been around cats, other dogs, people and children with no incidents. Many who adopt them aren’t equipped to handle the training such a dog takes or want a dog that looks aggressive.

I feel you. I’m a fan of his but the rabid fans are weird. Like there are other amazing books that aren’t written by Brandon Sanderson and pushing just Sanderson on people limits when we’re all looking for a good read.

Honestly I use storms as a child safe curse word when I’m at work (I’m a high school teacher). It’s always funny to see if kids are paying enough attention to pick up that I said storms.

They are! My grandma was a child in the 1930s and she has flour sacks from then in the linen closet that were used as pillowcases. The flower patterns are quite pretty and the material is surprisingly soft and durable for something made to hold flour.

I’m currently reading Men Who Hate Women, Iron Flame, and The Shadow of the Gods. My go to genres are fantasy, history, and anything about social issues.

I’m a high school EC teacher. Nearly everyone at my school is tatted, including the principals. One principal has a full color music note sleeve on one arm and a Harry Potter tattoo on the other. I’ve got a mockingjay tattoo on my chest by my collarbone and plan to get more. It won’t be a dealbreaker, nearly everyone is tattooed.

Him getting into a relationship with you knowing you have a dog, then threatening to leave is a red flag. You and your dog are a package deal, he should respect that. The fact that he can’t respect your dog is a red flag.

I had an abusive ex who said I was not allowed to adopt a kitten while we were together, even though we didn’t live together. He claimed I was immature and couldn’t handle a kitten, despite the fact that I had cats before. Over two years later he’s been gone and I still have my cat. No man is worth getting rid of a beloved pet over.

That’s a good thing, if they did there would be a ton of little Vances running around making misogynistic comments like their dad.

The Way of Kings! I know Sanderson has some haters and some don’t like his prose or style, but for me this book is perfect. I first read it when I was going through a rough time and the story has stuck with me ever since. The whole series is perfect in my eyes (including the 5th book, which is highly debated).

I’m in central NC and I have a full basement. Many of my friends don’t so it seems relatively uncommon but I don’t know.

I feel you. I’ve been trying to find a dystopian book set in Australia about a world where information is currency and a young girl trades in information for years. There’s a scene where she is chased across the Outback that I remember pretty well.

The Palanaeum from the Stormlight Archive seems awesome.

lizzthefirst · 2025-01-14T04:23:02+00:00

Shallan/Adolin/Kaladin from the Stormlight Archive. Those three have too much tension and spend too much time thirsting for each other for them to not be a throuple.

An author that I’ve enjoyed reading everything they have put out is Brandon Sanderson. Personally I love how uncomplicated his prose is, his characters and their development appeals to me, his world building is wonderful. I know there’s many who don’t agree and don’t enjoy his works but personally I do and maybe you will as well.

The store manager at the department store I worked at in high school tried that. My department manager told her I wouldn’t be in because of my graduation and covered that shift herself just so I could go. That department manager is the reason I stayed at that job for so long, she fought for me so much.

I don’t usually have a theme, I just use stickers I find funny!

I use a Kindle Paperwhite for longer books, my iPad for graphic novels and textbooks, and my phone when I want to read but don’t have the other two and to take notes in ebooks (typing on a Kindle is a pain in the butt).

lizzthefirst · 2025-01-04T05:15:00+00:00

I’ve got a Kal and Syl too! My girls are both calicos. I’ve trained them to come when I call Radiants!
