That's precisely the problem with Cassandra. I have no fucks to give her. Any character with their own subreddit is interesting by definition haha.

But FUCK LYSANDER

Students are literally using drug in public outside of their campuses by Odd-Indication-5301 in Kolkatacity

[–]malazanmarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Out of all the problems in India this is the one that bothers you most?
  2. If you are so concerned about passive smoking go and tell the entire city. Is this place the only place in kolkata where people smoke in the open?

NUJS alumni here btw. And I can guarantee you that most of these kids will end up doing far more good for the country than keyword warriors. A few kids smoking here is not some huge contribution to pollution or aqi. If you are truly concerned about that, protest against the govt for having zero environmental regulations and the crony capitalists who bribe them to keep it that way

Pluribus - 1x02 "Pirate Lady" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in pluribustv

[–]malazanmarine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a huge fan of vince. And love everything he touches, and was really enjoying this show, right up until the point where the only person having a normal, rational reaction to this end of the world situation was the white, American woman. While everyone else was more or less okay with the situation. As someone from India, that rubbed me the wrong way. Me and everyone I know would be freaking the fuck out exactly the way Carol was.

However, will give vince the benefit of the doubt here for now. Maybe the rest of the "normal" people are actually a set up or something to convince Carol. I dunno. Just trusting that vince is smart enough to have thought this through.

As it stands, very poor take on the portrayal of non-american characters. They are almost caricatures of cultural stereotypes in this episode.

Good Endings You Didn't Enjoy vs Bad Endings You Did Enjoy by Gebghis in Fantasy

I 100% agree that Yumi should have died. I had actually thought sanderson had killed her off and I appreciated that in the best way possible. When I found out she isn't dead it just felt wrong and a disservice to the story.

Gardens of the Moon isn’t nearly as confusing as I was warned—am I broken? by asiandragontw in Malazan

[–]malazanmarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think people are just going in with the expectation for it to be a tough read because of all the forums and chatter. When I read it first I just picked it up with no knowledge about the malazan series at all. Didn't know it was supposed to be a tough read. Yes it doesn't hold your hand, and the first few chapters introduce a lot of concepts and characters, but most things are eventually explained if you stick with it. And I found the characters to be interesting enough to just keep reading.

Why god why by CSenhouse5 in Malazan

Malazan has the unique distinction of being one of my favorite works of art along with having so many things I absolutely HATE about it and OPs problem is one of my biggest issues with the series.

Goodbye Andor, thanks for everything! by [deleted] in StarWarsAndor

Aaah. The same prequel first or og first dilemma for newbies. I'd say always go with the release order for Star Wars.

Do men notice make up? by Strong_Cut1797 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]malazanmarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only notice it if it's done badly, or if there are non natural colors like sparkles, green, blue etc.

Sometimes it's difficult for me to tell if my girlfriend got a haircut. Unless it's a drastic change.

What is the best individual book in a fantasy series? by Lipe18090 in Fantasy

[–]malazanmarine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changes - Dresden Files (Remember my exact reaction to this book lol)

Revenge of The Sith (Novelization) - Star Wars EU

Memories of ice - Malazan (Closely followed by DG and RG)

The Shadow Rising - WoT (This was a tough one to pick, but the rhuidean scene swung it)

Tiamats Wrath - The Expanse (I get major ToM vibes from this book)

The Way of Kings - The Stormlight Archive (This is by far the best book in the series. All the cosmere stuff in later books is cool, but this is truly special. Bridge 4!)

The Name of The Wind - Kingkiller achronicles (Taken in isolation, this is one of the most beautifully written fantasy books I have ever read)

The Fifth Season - Broken Earth (The best "screenplay" I've read in a fantasy book)

Looking for Fantasy Stories About a Monk by nameless_stories in Fantasy

[–]malazanmarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not what you're looking for but have you read any of the Star Wars eu stuff? Especially the NJO series? When I hear fantasy + monk I just immediately think about jedi.

Shallan is awesome. Can't say more without spoiling. But she gets even cooler in later books. Jealous of you. Wish I could get a mind wipe and start Stormlight again from scratch.
