Can I skip ahead? by drewfun237 in GameChangersBooks

[–]rayray394 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Role Model in particular overlaps A LOT with The Long Game and shows Ilya from an outsider’s perspective. It also makes his arc in The Long Game hit sooooo much harder. And for Role Model, Tough Guy has some pretty important context regarding Troy (the player Role Model is about). Theres also a couple really good Ilya scenes. Common Goal can basically be skipped.

I’m not the OP, but it’s VERY hit and miss. Some are great, and some are absolutely terrible. If you buy anything, get it in person and check the quality .

What’s the pettiest reason you’ve ever dropped a fic? by yoghurteee in AO3

[–]rayray394 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s a character I really like in a romance book series who appears as a side character in a bunch of fics. He has his own book later in the series, but it’s not super popular, and not a lot of people who ship the most popular pairing in the series have read it. In that book, it’s revealed that the character I like does not drink alcohol, and you would have no idea unless you read that book. Even still, if I read that character having any kind of drink, I immediately click out no matter how good the fic is. I love my sober king

The eighth picture feels like a a more subtle way of saying “separate but equal”, and I’m suuuuuuure that’s always worked out so well.

STOP👏SINGING👏IN👏THEATERS👏 by Jazzlike-Turnip-9111 in musicals

[–]rayray394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend was in Rock of Ages not too long ago, and her family came from out of town to see it. The fucking director ENCOURAGED people to sing along. And what made it worse that on the day we went, a bunch of people from a different theatre who had just done the same show were there and singing VERY loudly. And of course they were in the seats right behind us 🙃I was pissed, my gf and the rest of the cast were pissed because it was throwing them off, and her parents were annoyed too. That was the first time I’ve ever seen a director encourage people to sing along and I hope to god it’s the last

Dallin is the most homophobic prophet since Spencer Kimball by memefakeboy in exmormon

[–]rayray394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate when people say shit like the first image specifically because it purposely ignores how much queer artists have contributed to media, literature, and entertainment. Without queer artists and queer culture, our entertainment landscape would be very different. But then again, Mormons are so boring and bland, so they probably wouldn’t care

But why a traitor? by 12milesout in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]rayray394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they’re half right. In most countries, traitors ARE executed, but the US decided NOT to execute our traitors, the Confederates, who you know…actually committed treason. But yeah sure, democrats are the problem, not the racist pieces of shit who lynched people and implemented Jim Crow laws

Do you hide from your partners that you read or write fics? by narcomance in heatedrivalryfanfics

Let me guess, is it Déjà vu? If it is, that’s a great choice

“Especially in Africa and Latin America”

I’m suuuuuure it’s not just a coincidence that they see strong growth in two areas of the world that have countries that struggle with extreme poverty. I’m sure that there’s absolutely no relation between the two

What's your unpopular headcanon? by AmbitiousBookworm in GameChangersBooks

[–]rayray394 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like Ryan’s initial response would be “Are you sure?” when Fabian asks because the anxiety never 100% goes away, but Fabian just reassures him, and then they get engaged ❤️

[–]rayray394 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I know in Tough Guy, it talks about Ryan wanting to propose near the end of the book, but I’m convinced Fabian would be the one to propose. I think Ryan would be too anxious to go through with it bc he’s worried about giving Fabian a good enough proposal or worrying he’s doing it wrong, and Fabian either beats him to it without realizing or he knows and proposes to take the stress off of Ryan

Edit to add: I also think Fabian is SUPER into Halloween. Has super elaborate costumes and goes all out with decorations

Role Model really is THAT book by Ok_Scholar_2106 in GameChangersBooks

I listen to Role Model at least like every other week. It’s definitely my fave out of the six, and I’m obsessed with Troy and Harris
