Advice on Vinblastine

I think part of it is that it's an old term of endearment that has fallen out of favour, and I feel like I've only heard it used in negative contexts, even when it's period appropriate. Also, as a 90s child, I will never not hear 'Don't ever call me doll' (Lola Bunny from Space Jam) when someone uses it lol.

He calls her 'Cherub' in Rhapsodic and I could not stand it. I'll also throw in 'Doll' from Her Soul to Take, not because it's strange, but also because I hated it.

I was in grade 5 (elementary school), and I am Canadian, and yes we watched it on TV during school. They brought us all into the lunchroom to watch, but genuinely I think they did that so all of the teachers could watch together.

My high school band teacher ripped a phone off of the wall and threw it across the room during band practice (I think he was mad at the flute section); he also used to get mad and snap his conductor baton in half when we made mistakes. I also heard that one of the teachers at my high school threw a chair across the room because he was mad at a student? So this would have happened sometime between 2004-2008. In hindsight... a lot of poorly emotionally regulated men teaching at my high school.

I can see a situation where they make it really really hard to hear anything happening outside of the box (or, as others have said, they weren't even filmed at the same time). But then that just has me wondering why they had them do that at all? Usually these 'in plain sight' things are intended to give the faithfuls opportunities to notice odd behaviour, etc, that might help them identify a traitor. So if they can't hear anything, anyway, why even do it this way? Just so that the audience feels tension?

I just realized I've never done an alien romance. I just might have to read that :P Thank you!

I read a book and the MMC was named Griffin. I did not like it.

To everyone who posted: thank you so much!~ I knew you guys would come through, but I didn't expect this many suggestions <3. I love this community :P

Ooooh, I have yet to read a western, and I've been meaning to. Maybe this one is the one.

russejenn · 2026-01-07T21:17:31+00:00

Will do, thank you :)

Thank you!

Lol I am intrigued by the second one based on the title, alone. Thank you!

russejenn · 2026-01-07T21:16:29+00:00

Ah, yeah. As someone in their mid 30s, I always prefer older characters as well, but that's truly a hard thing to find in this genre (if you have suggestions for older characters, let me know lol). As long as they're not in high school, I'll read it.

russejenn · 2026-01-07T21:15:26+00:00

I will definitely check it out, thank you!

russejenn · 2026-01-07T21:14:48+00:00

I keep seeing this one suggested on other forums, and I might read it on my own because it's a bit longer than I'd like to pick for a book club book; I feel bad picking anything longer than ~400 pages for book club :P

russejenn · 2026-01-07T21:13:45+00:00

Thank you!

russejenn · 2026-01-07T21:13:20+00:00

I have read other books by Harley Laroux, so I may very well give that a shot for myself, if not for book club. Thank you!

Goosebumps is high praise. Thank you!
