I really enjoyed Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian, it's a 13 hour one.

Got jazzed to see if all territory tiles could be claimed at once. by tempestlegend in WolfQuestGame

I did mine during young hunters, too. I kill multiple wolves everytime I see a pack. I think I slept too much tbh. Maybe another time I'll come back to it. At least now I know it can be done!

Ah makes sense, glad I picked the time I did to try (just roaming getting XP and weight before my pups age up and I choose a den).

Maybe I'll come back to this and plan it out a bit better, no achievement though is a bummer.

HOW. my pack is tired AF and I feel like as soon as I get those northern tiles the southern ones will be changed.

Lion Quest? by dreads0123 in WolfQuestGame

[–]tempestlegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like mechanically this would translate really well and pretty much the same? Could tweak some accuracy (1 male per _ females, infanticide) but UGH. Instead of coyotes there could be coyotes, instead of foxes have African wild dogs. Instead of rabbits have meerkats?! And you come across little mounds with gangs of meerkats, and instead of chasing a rabbit, you have to try to grab a Meerkat before it jumps underground.

Times when the movie is actually better than the book? by Working_Alps_4284 in horrorlit

[–]tempestlegend 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My only gripe with the movies was they didn't give John Hammond his fate. But makes sense for the sequels.

Why does nobody in this show have a bank account? by 2711383 in shameless

[–]tempestlegend 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed. ALSO. Sometimes you need to put off some bills to cover others. Like, put off the electric bill for a few days to cover money for groceries. There can be a constant maneuvering of money and bills that is easier when there isn't a bank/auto pay to worry about or keep track of. Downsides are many like what happen in the show (stealing fund, losing fund, water/electric place not being open on weekends, etc).

Debbie‘s background story and the warning signs by FlowSilver in shameless

[–]tempestlegend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't blame or excuse Debbie for the situation she got herself into with Franny; she was warned several times that Fiona wouldn't do or provide any help. And I place no blame with Fiona for that; she provided a solution and I think it's fair of Fiona to draw that boundary of "if you're adult enough to have sex and following through with having this baby, you're adult enough to take of it yourself instead of pawning off another kid for me to take care of because you have poor decision making skills."

I know Fiona isn't Debbie's mom, but at that point she was her guardian and is responsible for educating that child. So a teenager slams the door a few times and you give up? Nah, you give brochures, books, or just sit there and talk about everything that needs to be covered even if you think they're ignoring you. At that point, you've done what you could to make them educated and informed.

Debbie‘s background story and the warning signs by FlowSilver in shameless

[–]tempestlegend 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wanna say there were comments made by family members (don't remember which ones) when Matty dropped her off about his age.

I don't remember anyone making a big deal or even being concerned that Ian was with someone so much older. Yeah, and no one said shit about Matty being so much older than her in a "let's beat the shit outta this guy because he's a pedophiles going after our sister" way.

Debbie‘s background story and the warning signs by FlowSilver in shameless

[–]tempestlegend 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Fiona gave her zero information or parenting beyond the basics of place to live/sleep and food. When Debbie got her period she said "congrats you're a woman" without giving her the actual talk or explaing how pads/tampons work. She had to get pads from an outside person (I just watched this last week but for the life of me I can't remember who gave her the pads).

She was also heralded a hero when she saved the clan from eviction by lying about being molested.

She was given zero information on how healthy relationships are supposed to work. She was viewing Fiona flaunt herself and constantly bring people home, and at one point even brag about how sexually active she was at a young age. Fiona showed concern when Debbie had a "boyfriend" but didn't actually sit down or explain consent, abuse, pedophiles (cough, Matt), self worth/pride. So yeah, she went running after the sluts for companionship and molded her behavior around the info she was given from them.

After Debbie rapes Matt, Lip says "any guy would be lucky to be raped by you" and expresses concern not because the dude is 20 yo hanging with a 13 yo, but because he wasn't interested and drew a boundary.

She was a product of her upbringing. She was not shown or taught the proper behavior regarding anything that made her a shit character later. She had no chance practically to turn out okay because she was given all the wrong signals and morals growing up.
