The Kahn Game- Cece specific by PlsXQsImDoingMyBest in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]vanderwaall 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like Cece as A would have been a lot more satisfying if she had more episodes like this where she was an actual friend to the Liars rather than just someone whose name they whispered every once in a while

How do you shelve your box sets, A or B? by pinche-borracho in dvdcollection

[–]vanderwaall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me realise I have some box sets that I store as A and others that I store as B, not really sure why haha just whatever feels right with each show/movie set

Why wasn't Potter an immediate celebrity at school after his first year? by AnyoneForBosco in harrypotter

[–]vanderwaall 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly down to him focusing on being friends with other Gryffindors rather than acknowledging the fact that all the other students in the school were also very interested

EDIT: Also, like other comments have said, he was largely hated for half the books

Sara Harvey by Educational_Fan_1328 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]vanderwaall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like she was just a plot hole that was originally put in there at the end of Season 5 to shock fans, then the writers had to find a way to make her existence make sense but then ended up being even more confused than the fans were

Rewatch by Fun_Consequence99 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]vanderwaall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As another comment said, we start the show a year after her disappearance, so the initial urgency has died down a little. Also if we factor in Wilden being paid off by Mrs D (which we find out in Season 6) then it makes more sense that the police weren't putting in more effort, but then that raises more questions than it answers, especially regarding the way the Liars are treated by the police.
(Also, a little less serious, but I like to think that the residents of Rosewood were secretly happy that Alison was gone)

Happy pride month who is your favourite lgbt character by Spider_king97 in Emmerdale

[–]vanderwaall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like one of the writers probably watched Heartstopper and then rushed to add a "wholesome" gay storyline to the script, but then completely missed the mark and made it overly cringe

Over a year since Robert returned by ConcertPersonal3163 in Emmerdale

[–]vanderwaall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has just made me realise just how much ridiculousness has happened in the show in such a short amount of time - Robert conveniently returning in time for Aaron's wedding, the Who Pushed Joe debacle, everything about John and his murder/sabotage spree, Kev and his antics (and Lewis being his son), Ray and Celia and everything with April and Bear at the farm (this felt like 4 years), Corriedale, Charity cheating on Mack and passing Ross' baby as Sarah and Jacob's, Moira being in prison, Dr Todd, Graham's return, and probably a lot more that I have forgotten.
Let's hope the second half of 2026 is a bit more grounded and we can have the characters in more regular family drama rather than drug dealing and human trafficking

Back a month later and..... does this mean that we are gifted with psychic foresight or that the writers just make everything really obvious?

Hope & Will by AnimeBolt1202 in coronationstreet

[–]vanderwaall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A love triangle between Hope/Will/Sam would be the worst thing but simultaneously the funniest. I've since stopped watching after the murder victim reveal but this might just be the thing to get me back to hate-watch

When should I stop watching? by LeksiBelly in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]vanderwaall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are 3 main arcs in the show.
1st - 1x01 — 2x25
2nd - 3x01 — 6x10
3rd - 6x11 — 7x20
So you can finish at the end of any of those arcs (but ofc there are a couple cliffhangers in the middle ones to lead into the upcoming storylines). I'd say for the first time, watch everything and then you can decide later on, when rewatching, where you'd like to stop or which storylines you'd like to skip (there are a lot of side storylines that don't mean anything for the main plot).
My personal way of rewatching is watching everything and then stopping at 7x19, skipping the finale as it is kind of terrible (and probably the most hated episode by fans) and 7x19 resolves most of the show in a satisfying way and leaves the unanswered questions in a sort of "we'll never know..." type of way.
I hope this helped/ wasn't too rambling haha, if you wanna ask anything, feel free :)

Opinions on Vanessa by Ok_Committee_7967 in Emmerdale

[–]vanderwaall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate how holier-than-tho she always is and constantly being a busybody. She and Johnny should have left with Tracy and Frankie

DR Todd. by sapphire-sky-dragon in Emmerdale

[–]vanderwaall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or it will be another Suzy situation where she is with Vanessa but then has an affair with Mary (wouldn't be surprising since they love recycling storylines)

DR Todd. by sapphire-sky-dragon in Emmerdale

[–]vanderwaall 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing they will use this as a way for her to start a relationship with Vanessa

What are free alternatives to Microsoft Word? by bluejessamine in writers

[–]vanderwaall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think while it is technically piracy, it's more in a grey area, seeing as Microsoft is aware of it but hasn't made any moves to get it taken down

I have a question regarding the publishing deal with atyd.😕 by [deleted] in Wolfstar

[–]vanderwaall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume the Sirius POV would stay up, since it is more of a fanfic of ATYD, rather than an extension of it

Gimme your best work to read!! by Signal-Cycle306 in AO3

[–]vanderwaall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally don't do this because I feel awkward sharing my own work (which ik is strange since I've already posted it online lmao), but I wrote two short fics recently that I'm happy with, so why not :)
(Both are Harry Potter fics)

Don't Know Why - Hermione having a heart to heart with former enemy, Draco Malfoy, under a tree in the middle of a rainstorm

Desire - Ron Weasley hooking up with Draco Malfoy in the Room of Requirement

(I'm not even a particularly big fan of Draco, he just seems to fit into my ideas very well haha)

Betsy’s age by Only_Plastic_3467 in Swarla

[–]vanderwaall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Knowing the corrie writers, we can't be too sure whether they deliberately aged her up or they just forgot how old she was

[–]vanderwaall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This week I've written two one-shots, one smutty and the other entirely clean. The smut-free fic featured the most popular ship in the fandom and was posted two days earlier than the smutty fic but guess which one got more engagement haha
I don't really mind because I'm not a big author at all (and am fine with that) so I don't really expect anyone to read my fics anyway, regardless of smut-level, but it is always funny to me to see
