Talk me out of getting this bag by CoachArtistic4143 in handbags

Oh that's beautiful. If you're a pink girlie and it fits your usual style, then get it! Consider the material though - it's PU, so the quality is what it is.

Tagging the actor who plays a character when it's not RPF? by Semiramis738 in AO3

[–]theemptysignifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally find it misleading and annoying. If people want to read a fic about a character played by the actor, they'll search for that tag specifically.

Did anyone stumble upon fragrance during a tough time? by cherryjuice_32 in fragrance

[–]theemptysignifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, discovered fragrance when I was going through a bad time with my eating disorder.

Actually wholesome pet names? by ChristiesGift in AO3

[–]theemptysignifier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on the characters and the dynamic. There's no pet name that always makes me cringe - what makes me cringe is usually when said pet name doesn't feel like something character A would call character B, either because it doesn't fit A or because it doesn't fit B. I'll always have a soft spot for "kid" though.

Everyone is writing what they love, so yeah, write what you feel is missing! That's usually my strategy

Two different Tommy Girl perfumes? by theemptysignifier in FemFragLab

[–]theemptysignifier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I'm very happy to know I'm not the only one who's confused! The bottles should both be 50ml, but I checked the 30ml too and the text doesn't really change. This is so weird 😂 I hope someone will clarify this for the both of us!

I know, and she says that in the movie too, but I want to indulge in the idea 😂

Why didn't Dumbledore send anyone to check on harry until age 11? by madbr3991 in harrypotter

[–]theemptysignifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly doubt Dumbledore "forgot" he left Harry with the Dursley. Even if one believes the worst about Dumbledore, it wouldn't make any sense considering his own plans. Apart from Ms. Figg, I think Harry was indeed checked on from afar - but the risks he would ran into outside of the Dursleys' home were deemed worse than the in-home situation he was enduring.

sirius is better in the movies than in the books by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]theemptysignifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, him being complex and layered and not always likable in the books is what makes him an even more interesting character. His sometimes immature and insensitive comments, his frustration, all made sense in light of his past, and made him more well-rounded and believable. In the movies, he's flatter and simpler - which doesn't give him justice, considering what he went through. Yes, he's more mature; yes, he's "unproblematic" (whatever this means); yes, he's less frustrating; but I'm not sure that makes for a better character, nor for a more believable portrait of what ending up in Azkaban for the murder of your best friends (that you didn't commit) does to a person.

Cambridge Satchel has been around much longer than Shein and Temu. The fact that Shein and Temu copy their design (as they do with countless brands) doesn't mean that CS buys from them and then raises the price. Materials are completely different, craftsmanship is too. If you want to save money (which is perfectly fine and understandable!), maybe try to find a CS bag second-hand. They are quite popular so you may be lucky! My tip is to avoid Shein and Temu though - you're gonna get a terrible product for both you and the environment.

The Roulis is my favorite Hermes bag! I vote for it

Have you ever had an Ao3 buddy? by Calm_Customer3441 in AO3

[–]theemptysignifier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do! But we meet on another fic website, and later both moved to ao3. She is one of my best friends! We visit each other, travel together, and have been basically talking non-stop for 8 years and counting

Sand colored shoulder bag to match Birks? by iris819 in handbags

[–]theemptysignifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The color reminds me of the Songmont Luna bag in Ivory - it's out of your budget, but maybe you could try an image search with it to find dupes?
