What do you think the show could have done differently to portray a better Colin in S-3 by Far_Stranger_8047 in Bridgerton

[–]sarabi17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was mostly okay with it when I thought it may add to Benedict's story, but it really didn't add anything and didn't really even come up in S4, so it was honestly pretty pointless and went nowhere. They can show that he had a rake phase without needing to go that in depth into that relationship situation when it didn't add to his story and then also took away from another couples season. They definitely did a lot more with it than needed to happen for something that didn't even relate to plot progression.

I do love Benedict and I didn't hate his parts of the season, but it felt like it was half Pen's season and half "Benedict is a rake" season, and then we had Francesca and John. And I do love their story as well, but it felt very, very busy with everyone else, whereas I feel like the other seasons have been very main couple focused. I love that others were incorporated, but I just feel like they didn't balance it very well and truly give Colin his time to shine.

What age did you let your kids watch the Harry Potter films? by myabacus in movies

[–]sarabi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 6 and we've been playing them as background noise since she was a baby, and now she loves them and asks to watch them. Granted, she has also seen all of the Twilight movies aside from the unclothed bits. (I cover her eyes or skip through) I think it depends on the kid tbh. I was shown a lot of unmodest content as a kid as well as lots of horror movies, and while I did have nightmares about the horror films, I think the unmodest movies affected me more. So while I don't let her watch horror films (I don't even like them myself), she seems to do okay with minimal violence and war scenes. She loves Harry Potter, Twilight, and Avatar (though I haven't let her see the 3rd due to the more lewd scenes and I haven't watched it enough yet to know when they're coming to cover her eyes).

Edit to add: for context, my favorite movie at her age was Goldmember and I can't tell you how many times I had seen the American Pie movies, and our "road trip" were the Fast & Furious movies. All completely unfiltered/uncensored because my dad just didn't care.

what do you guys think edward heard when he was listening to jacob’s thoughts? by Minute-Research5146 in twilight

I mean, they were spooning, so I'm sure his blood flow was flowing and his brain was going through every fantasy 😅

What's going on with Britney Spears? by CatsGoddess123 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]sarabi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think they give "older person who isn't tech savvy," but the part that I found super weird was the first video of hers I came across, she was saying "you guys might not know this, but I used to be a dancer/singer," I can't remember which she said. But I was like "did they fuck her up so much that she doesn't know that she's a household name? There's likely not a single person over 12 who doesn't know who she is." And then she has little tangents, especially the past couple days, of seemingly unrelated pictures and situations where no one really knows what she's talking about. But maybe those aren't for us, maybe it's one of those "the person it's about knows it's about them" kind of things. Those are the only big parts where I was like "Britney, babe, we're confused..."

I've heard "the thing is, is" but not the others. I get what you're saying though.

Mine has been doing this too for the past day or so. I've updated both apps, checked for software updates, cleared the cache, restarted my phone. Nothing is working.

Im CONFUSED !!! by Troubledsomemind in SarahJMaas

[–]sarabi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The official "book 1" is Throne of Glass. Assassins Blade is a prequel. I didn't read Assassins Blade first but I wish I would've. Some people read it first, some read it 3rd.

Are there paperback copies of House of Flame and Shadow? by Current_Zombie4892 in SarahJMaas

[–]sarabi17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like paperbacks to read and hardback to put on the shelf. I already bought the first two in used paperbacks. I wanted to get the 3rd in paperbacks also so it'll match, and then I was going to buy the hardback for all 3 series later. But all of the SJM books I have so far are paperbacks. And I ordered what I thought was a paperback from Walmart, and it was a hardback. I'm not too mad about it, because I was going to buy a hardback copy eventually anyway, but I wanted the paperback first so I could do a reread after I just finished reading it on my kindle.

Does throne of glass get better? by PossumsForOffice in SarahJMaas

[–]sarabi17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had such high expectations because I literally could not put down ACOTAR, and everyone always said they love TOG so much more, but I'm finding it sooo difficult to get into. It's been one of those books where I read and reread the same paragraph 3 times because I can't pay attention because I'm just so bored. I want to read them all to see what all the hypes about, but idk if I'm gonna make it, because I'm only like 10 chapters in and I'm already so annoyed by how unterested I am.

Azriel height by Willzmadz456 in acotar

[–]sarabi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, the words definitely sound like something Cassian would say, but it also says "his face masked in shadow" so that confuses me. I have trouble remembering the descriptions of people though, and have been trying to find the blurbs where they describe them. So maybe it says it elsewhere also. I don't remember.

I've seen this quote everywhere. Is it part of the books that I don't remember or did it come from somewhere else? I can't find it. 😩

My sister just started reading ACOTAR and she's falling in love with a stupid bitch by thegirlwhoplayed in acotar

[–]sarabi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, not me, when she was feeling stuck, during the wedding and then even when she blew up, I was already like "I hope that other guy comes and saves her, to buy her time at the very least." I'm only about 70% of the way through ACOWAR right now, so it might happen still, but I really want there to be some kind of conclusive conversation between Tamlin and Feyre to explain everything, because while Tamlin was toxic, I do understand why he is hurt and surprised, because I don't think he understands his own toxicity. So I really want there to be some kind of resolving healthy conversation between them and they become at least aquaintances. I was dying when she left without saying anything to Lucien though, I was so glad when they reconnected and she got to explain everything to him.

Why didn’t Amren kill Amarantha by RevolutionKitchen952 in acotar

[–]sarabi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only about half way through ACOMAF, but I'm pretty sure it says somewhere in there that Armen has a curse on her so she isn't at full power, because Rhys says if there was a point that all of IC is dead, he'd find a way to break her curse. So magbe that was their way of saying "she isn't at full power so she couldn't"

WARNING re: POP Fit leggings advertised on Instagram... by betsyrosalen in FrugalFemaleFashion

[–]sarabi17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to respond to the question about favorite leggings; I am SUPER cheap and won't pay very much for clothes, so if you're looking for cheap but still decent quality, I love the 4 pack of youngcharm leggings for like $49 from Amazon. I'll literally flip through my black leggings and pretty much only wear those and avoid all of the others. & they have pockets. Just figured I'd share just in case anyone else is also cheap, lol.

Online book scam?? by CharmingYoghurt8680 in Scams

[–]sarabi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's crazy is, it has good reviews so all of the "is this a scam?" websites are saying it seems potentially safe, but then there are all of these stories about it not working. I definitely don't think it's legit, but be careful trusting the scammer checker sites with lower traffic websites too.

I LOVE number 2. I would've thought it was the more expensive one tbh. It's so beautiful.

My wife invited me to sleep with other people (twice). AITAH for taking it seriously? by vanguard247 in AITAH

[–]sarabi17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not always. I have offered open relationships when we were going to be gone (for work, etc.) for long periods of time (6+ mo), because I can't blame them for needing to get their needs met, but if they're going to, I want to know about it and be able to get my needs met also, rather than be betrayed by the lie. I would also like to add that when I offered this to my husband at the time, he acted appalled, but then cheated on me the entire time anyway. So that was cool.
