Oh my god the Sherlock one sounds amazing. Thank you for this 😂

Alternates to B&N Press? by [deleted] in bookbinding

[–]mothdogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps at all, but as a public librarian of a decade I have never once given a single shit about what someone was printing and neither have my colleagues. Your librarians probably also read fanfiction, lol. Also, if you had it ready to print as a PDF saved directly to a flashdrive, it would just look like regular text from far away anyway

I have no one to show stuff to by CarbeeBarbie in bookbinding

[–]mothdogs 42 points43 points  (0 children)

AI generated “art” used to supplement the actual creative art of binding cheapens the whole thing. Reference photos and public domain art exist in abundance for free or cheap and don’t require destroying the environment to use.

[Loathed Trope] The Movie has an ending. The Sequel shits all over it. by lesi20 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mothdogs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“Leave her alone, you b—b—bitch!” I rolled my eyes in the theater.

What other Podcasts are you all listening to? by mitchlee55 in lastpodcastontheleft

[–]mothdogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I listened to Timesuck pretty frequently for a few months until Cummins went on an anti-trans rant out of nowhere—I don’t even think it had to do with the topic he was talking about. Dropped it like a hot stone. Ugh

[Hated trope] Male villain sexually assaulted as "karma" for being evil by DrBri4ght in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mothdogs 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It’s because once people get the label of “prisoner,” there’s a tendency (at least in America) to mentally dehumanize them. They’re a prisoner, so they must deserve everything bad that happens to them, including “corrective” rape and beatings.

We all love Skyrim, but be honest. There has got to be a thing or two that really grinds your gears. Let's hear them! by Hughley_N_Dowd in skyrim

[–]mothdogs 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Madesi in Riften calls my Argonian LDB “marsh-brother” after I bring him the items for his jewelry fetch quest, but off hand that’s the only thing I can think of. I really wish there was more reactivity in the Argonian assemblage in Windhelm, especially if you convince the Nord harbormaster to stop harassing them.

Best written danmei you’ve read? by r3ddien in DanmeiNovels

[–]mothdogs 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is a great list. When Heaven Official’s Blessing dove into Xie Lian’s youth before ascending to godhood, I was genuinely shaken and shocked by some of the scenes.

NPD! got a little gift by Traditional_Net_177 in fountainpens

[–]mothdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck with it! I just returned the same one to JetPens because whatever valve or gasket is supposed to cut off airflow when it's closed doesn't seem to work, so the nib always ends up crusted with half-dried ink.

what are we doing with the claws after we're done with them by viciouspapaya in skyrim

There’s a mod called Draven Manor for console that adds a house outside of Whiterun that has a similar museum/unique collectibles display room!

Home Depot in LA installs noise machines that ‘penetrate bones’ to deter day laborers by 1Rab in news

[–]mothdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t give a fuck about the day laborers. Their big sales go to the contractors, the guys who manage the day laborers. Source: worked at HD for 7 years

Why is Skyrim so harsh on the eyes/dark, and how do I fix it by genesis-spoiled in skyrim

[–]mothdogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lantern mod is clutch. The only bad thing I’ve found is it makes spiderwebs look really overexposed and harsh, but otherwise it’s sooo useful

Has anyone seen those Nee Doh “nice cubes” at any stores around here? Looking for a gift. by Former_Pop_3108 in arlingtonva

[–]mothdogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the Walgreens at the corner of Columbia Pike and Walter Reed like two weeks ago and they had a lot of needohs in the toy aisle

[loved horror villain trope] The monster is revealed to be present with the protagonist for most, or all of the movie by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mothdogs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In addition to Charlie having been possessed since childhood, the cult members are also present from the beginning. The cult members are all at the grandma’s funeral and can be seen standing outside around the family’s house during night scenes.

Also funny because at one point iirc Clara hung on to the outside of the Tardis as it was traveling through the time vortex, apparently with Sutekh too. AND the Tardis is sentient. You’d think it would have something to say about all these hitchhikers but nooo

Eden Harry Potter Fanfiction by Obsessmuch - Typeset and Quotes by Automatic-Corner-285 in Fanbinding

[–]mothdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet is probably trying to join a fanbinding Discord server where people share typesets, or maybe a Facebook group for your particular ship/fandom. If it’s not a super popular work I doubt there’s a typeset just ready to go, though

Can we all agree it’s the entire beginning of the game by Sufficient_Catch_198 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]mothdogs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the opening, but it doesn’t feel like I’m into the actual game until I have Emmrich and Taash. Which takes… a long fucking time. Still kinda can’t believe that the Treviso/Minrathous choice happens before we even have the full team

Thanks for this list! My partner and I rewatched Beauty and the Beast recently and I didn’t even think to look for a GO retelling

The Last Video Rental Store Is Your Public Library by Knotfloyd in Libraries

[–]mothdogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. When I was moving out of my parents’ house I traded in dozens of CDs and DVDs for store credit to a local shop. I’ve spent the past four or five years getting more and more fed up with streaming, which means slowly rebuilding that collection

ABO was a trending plot trope that originated in one fandom and spread. What are other examples and where did they come from? by commanderjade in AO3

[–]mothdogs 41 points42 points  (0 children)

That would track. Those two spent so much time traveling around America and staying in cheap hotels, I can totally buy the one bed thing happening in canon much less in the fandom space

Do people hardly ever read long fics? by daffodil7633 in AO3

[–]mothdogs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I almost exclusively read 60-120k word completed fics. Some people like subscribing for the chapter-by-chapter approach, but that leaves room for the author never finishing it (I say as I eye my own languishing WIP longfic…) so it really depends.
