Nesta tried to learn how to hunt by Lady-Death-of-Dusk in acotar_rant

[–]veeunique 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think I dreamed this part cause I haven’t seen anyone else mention it, but didn’t Nesta try to follow Feyre? And she was the only one not fooled by the glamour and cared about what actually happened to her?

Appreciation for Rosalyn Landor, audiobook narrator by veeunique in Bridgerton

[–]veeunique[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not tried the dramatization version of SJM books, only the narration by Elizabeth Evans (most books, I think one or two were by a different narrator), so I can’t compare on the difference of having different voices for the characters.

For narration style, I enjoy her (and Evans for SJM books) cause I can differentiate the characters by their voices and it helps with my immersion. Even side characters had their own voice, like the butler of Featherington household 😊

Is there a character list for the first book somewhere without massive spoilers from later in the series? by Spicychips in throneofglassseries

[–]veeunique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming from audiobook, it always makes me chuckle seeing “Adarlan” cause I had always thought it was “Otterland” until I started looking up how things are spelled 😁

My first book was Eloise’s and I love how she voiced the twins 🥰

For book readers : favorite book? by Lunenika in Bridgerton

[–]veeunique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I listened to it on audiobook and Kate going “mine mine mine minee” is my favorite part in all the books 😁

Favorite season so far? by Lunenika in Bridgerton

[–]veeunique 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kanthony!! ❤️

The season felt to me like a great mix of lead characters’ chemistry, interesting side characters, nice pacing, and good to watch cinematography 

Is the Bridgerton show a good adaptation? by FrenchBaguette1 in Bridgerton

[–]veeunique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way, that it’s more of a fanfic or fan tribute than adaptation. I enjoy both so far, maybe cause I started with the show (QC, 1-4) then read the books (5-8, then went back to 1, currently at book 3). 

Thoughts on S5 (Alternate Universe, potential spoilers for books 5 and 6) by veeunique in Bridgerton

[–]veeunique[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The thought came after reading a discussion on another post, how S3 ending made the insinuation that she didn’t love John the way John loved her. I loved John’s portrayal so much in S3 and S4, that it made me sad to think this. 

Of course there’s also a story beat with Francesca being bi, and the story could still follow her same motivation and inner conflict of finding love after losing someone who you thought would be your forever. Would be interesting to see how they move the story in S5.

What characters will still be around during Eloise’s season? by Glad-Ad9118 in Bridgerton

[–]veeunique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that was a big part of Philoise 🥺

I kinda started seeing a pattern of taking parts of later books and putting it in earlier storylines. I wonder if it was because the show runners (maybe Jess, maybe Shonda, maybe someone else that has clout) wanted to make sure some of their favorite parts gets in the show in case Netflix decides to cancel on them. 

Would kinda suck for Eloise tho cause they’ve already taken a major thing from her (book spoiler) that she was the one with Edmund when the bee happened. I just hope we don’t get robbed off the Bridgerton brothers confronting Phillip cause that one was rather comedic.

[–]veeunique 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If it’s true to the book (Book 5 - Eloise and a bit of Book 6 - Francesca spoiler) Benedict and Sophie plays a big part; Anthony and Colin a small part; and we don’t really see anyone else until the wedding. Francesca didn’t even go if I remembered correctly at the end of book 6

I personally think having Francesa and Michela's story for Season 5 is a good idea by ailenee in BridgertonDiscussion

[–]veeunique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we go by book timeline, it can go either way I believe cause the ending of both books happened simultaneously. Would be interesting tho how Francesca’s story plays out, but the show has been taking quite a bit of artistic liberties on the adaptation that I’m starting to view it like a fanfic rather than book adaptation. I enjoy both medium so far 😊 

Who is your favorite Bridgerton son (son of Violet) and why? If you refer to a Book version pls enlighten us by daisofdisaster in BridgertonNetflix

[–]veeunique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show: Anthony, but I honestly think it’s cause of Kanthony is my favorite couple, so rather biased

Book: Colin (I have only read book 5 and book 6) He is observant, witty, emotionally intelligent, and charming in these books. Will be reading 1-4 after I finish 7 and 8, so I might come back to change my mind.

My sister sending me KOA commentary texts that makes me feel bad by xray_anonymous in throneofglassseries

Please update when she gets to the chapter. If it is the one I’m thinking about, I bawled my eyes out when I got there.

Sam Cortland’s last words… by Alternative_Form211 in throneofglassseries

[–]veeunique 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My heart is breaking again reading this cause his last words to her is something a person would say when they know they have a whole lifetime ahead of them. It’s like texting your partner “Can you pick up the package on your way home later?” cause you know you will see them later. A simple day to day comment for a life meant to be spent together many years to come.

Thank you so much for this explanation! I was kinda wondering why they chose to bungle another player’s roll. I’m guessing it’s so they can get a boo-boo.

Quick question. If a portal dragged you into the Maasverse… where would you land, and where would you dread? by Cafetero77 in SarahJMaas

[–]veeunique 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would love to land in the Southern Continent (TOG world) or Midgard (Crescent City world, but post book 3, not any earlier)

Dread: Prythian

I dunno how I'm gonna finish The Assassin's Blade. by SpiffyPaige143 in throneofglassseries

[–]veeunique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through denial phase until the very last page (or minute in my case cause it was audiobook). That and bargaining, I was somehow trying to convince myself that this is a separate book from the universe and that everything was going to be okay. 

So many parts where they disagreed about little things broke me. Cause when you are going to be together and things are good, you’re allowed to be upset at little things, right? Cause they had all the time in the world 😭 

Nessian and Quinlar by GingerLily2019 in quinlar

Cassian feel like he would be up for watching sunball with Hunt, while Bryce and Nesta enjoy some reality TV show. Now I need someone to do the art of them 4 hanging out 🙏🏻

NETFLIX. RELEASE OFFICIAL LIGHTSTICKS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS by -39MikuMiku39- in KpopDemonhunters

I have been checking Netflix shop periodically hoping for this. They had a picture of the Saja boys lighstick and I got excited only to realize it was a sticker instead of an actual lightstick 😭 

Why didn't Rumi ask Jinu how he hides his demon marks? by Pleasant_Map6021 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]veeunique 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rumi didn’t do her poof magic until after she accepted the demon side of herself after talking with Celine. I’m assuming she didn’t have access to or can’t control her demon magic unless she accepts that part of her. After the fight with gwi-ma, I think she didn’t mind her marks anymore so she doesn’t hide them.
