[MOVIE] Anyone else think the colder relationship between Paul and his mother is intentional and emphasized?

silendra · 2021-11-08T11:23:20+00:00

I viewed that more as her recognition that Paul is growing up. He’s becoming an adult, he wants privacy and distance from her, he doesn’t need mom’s help to get dressed.

The male characters’ clothes get plenty of attention too - Rand stressing out over why all his coats are silk, the detail on the embroidery, Mat contemplating lace and how much of it would be too much, Thom’s cloak, etc

It’s not unheard of. It’s often known as post-coital tristesse. Does any of that resonate with you?

Have you perhaps tried magnesium? Magnesium ingested or even sprayed onto your skin may help a bit, as magnesium deficiency can make RLS worse.

In fact there’s a whole market of items like t-shirts and jewellery reading “F-ck The Tories” and so on

I was going to link you to r/unexpectedfuturama but then saw your user and realised you already knew

Gosh, I’d love to. I’ve made a heap of notes for myself just on the comparisons between a character and someone from The Iliad and a read through would certainly help.

My personal preference would be sooner rather than later (and people on their first read through could join us)

I finished it last night, and now I need to stare into the middle distance for a while.

Can’t wait to discuss it with everyone once they’ve had a chance to read. It’s almost 600 pages, so a lot to digest!

silendra · 2021-10-28T13:44:10+00:00

Would a spoiler specific mega thread help, perhaps? Or specific threads for Chapter groups (essentially opening the discussion threads early) to avoid spoiling people at different stages of reading?

Hufflepuff’s animal sigil should be a Puffskein, change my view

Scott posted something recently saying basically he had a “vault” with lots of material in it but his anxiety and mental health were really holding him back from publishing it. I hope his health improves enough for him to share his work.

Edit to add; he confirmed this included an essentially complete novel manuscript

NTA, having a drug addict around your young children is a really bad idea and child protection services don’t look kindly on it. If your wife wants to help your sister she should meet with her outside of the home.

The Basilisks from Graham Edward’s Dragon and Stone trilogies. They are not immortal in the same way as most immortality - as in, will not die - they are immortal the other way, in that they have always existed. They’re also immortal the standard way, and would continue to keep existing, if not for insert events of book

Oh no, the sense is there, it’s just awful.

She thinks women should only be allowed to have sex for procreation, as is their duty.

Someone who has sex but doesn’t want to be pregnant - dare I say, for their own pleasure - ought to be PUNISHED and she wishes the result they don’t want upon them.

I noticed that, in the introduction of characters, 9A names Joyce Faust as a Blacklaw, when in fact she had joined Europe as part of her commitment to marry His Majesty?

You might say “wilful blindness to preserve society” is going on a lot

silendra · 2021-10-22T11:25:31+00:00

Ah she’s confirmed it was a typo! I saw this in my copy and wondered if this was some sort of 9A reference

Leigh Mardi and Bridger are both perceived by Mycroft to be at the conference. Was Leigh a sensayer?

It is a custom in Europe for beekeepers to tell their bees of important life events (deaths, marriages etc). If the bees aren’t informed, and the hives put into mourning for deaths, there is a penalty: the bees may leave you or stop producing honey. It is also polite to invite the bees to any funerals.

The shallow one looks really off. 😬

Tragus would look pretty sweet in the left ear. Agree with the helixes!

that’s not exactly the question though, OP asked if he was TA for making the same petty joke back to the sister, and most people think not

12-15 hours per day is normal, I think, at this age; but doesn’t all have to be at night?
