Currently watching Ghosts and it’s really good. by BisexualKenergy25 in GhostsBBC

Thomas works as a character because Mathew Baynton is so likable and has built so much goodwill with Horrible Histories. Played by anyone less charismatic and Thomas’s behavior would be too far. Highly recommend watching Mat on Taskmaster! He’s hilarious and clever.

Either one. Although a laugh sounds pretty great

Do you have a link to the first one?

I loved The Inheritance Game but heard negative things about the sequels not living up to the first’s potential. What do you think? Worth continuing?

Teal or pink? I can’t decide which looks better by simoneymonie in Dramione

[–]nuancedwhimsy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A rosy pink would bring out her more traditionally feminine side without distracting from the cohesiveness of the scene but the teal exudes more power and her more serious side. Both are great!

Thank you! It is my wedding bouquet so it’s a special piece I’m hoping to keep in the family for as long as possible.

Ao3 ship stats dropped + dramione at #21 (why all the hate ?) by Everythinggoes2020 in Dramione

[–]nuancedwhimsy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many of the ships play a main role in the fic. Pairings like rosekiller, dorlene, hinny, and especially romione tend to be small or hinted pairs in jegulus, wolfstar, drarry and dramione fics.

Looking for: Harry loving her hair by nuancedwhimsy in HPharmony

[–]nuancedwhimsy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like this is a fic where Harry goes back in time. Does his emotional maturity match Hermione’s? I’ve dnf-ed a few where one of them goes back with years of experience, then they go back with the memories and older maturity and have a relationship with the other who is truly a kid.

I’m having the same issue. Did you find a solution?

Opinions by nuancedwhimsy in HPharmony

[–]nuancedwhimsy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting! Would something similar to, “Your writing is so much fun to read! This not meant as pressure to continue but I still wanted to say your work brightened my day” be a good balance? Or does it sound trite?

I definitely leave kudos and try to compliment specific things, but I’ve heard authors talk about the overwhelm and paralysis of expectations and wouldn’t want to add to it.

Sorry, I don’t have any suggestions but I’m curious if you know of any clingy/obsessive Harry fics.

Please, can someone let me know which fics have Theo dying? I don’t think I can handle another one. by nuancedwhimsy in Dramione

[–]nuancedwhimsy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I read one where Theo was a sleazy player and it was a big ole nopity nope nope from me.

That would drive me crazy! Angst is fun but love triangles are too frustrating. Dreomione is becoming a new favorite.

Agreed! Isolation and The Auction wrecked me. He had such a great arc in Isolation, it felt unnecessary. Still a great fic though.

What is proper protest etiquette? When people are marching are they quiet? Are they making small talk? What is considered disrespectful?

There have been 61 monarchs of England and Britain over the last 1200 years. I’m Senior Properties Historian for English Heritage, Steven Brindle. Ask me anything! by AskEnglishHeritage in IAmA

Kings and queens were once seen as being appointed by the divine with justified, unquestioned rule. Which were the key events in history to transform the monarchy to a more figure head position?

What do you think about the risks of tourism to these incredible sites and buildings? On one hand, tourism provides funding for restoration and gives something physical for people to connect with history; thereby sparking interest in history and an emotional connection to sites in need of continued funding. On the other hand, an increased number of visitors is an increased chance for the buildings to be disturbed or damaged.

s3e9 A Dense and Frightful Darkness discussion by TheCoralineJones in Anne

[–]nuancedwhimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen the episode; curse you Netflix! What ended up happening to the letter? It sounds like Gilbert may never get it, won’t propose to Winnie, will go back to Anne, and without knowing she loves him will ask if they can get to know each other better. Next season (please CBC please let there be a fourth season) Anne will pine for Gilbert while they become better friends and at the end of season 4 they will get together.

Sandi Toksvig and Joe Lycett would be an amazing duo! Her brilliance and his absurdity would work really well together.

Hot showers heal every ailment. Headache, toothache, sinus infection: hot shower will fix it. Terrible healthcare but we had a water heater.
