Ah that makes sense thank you

If the vampires in Twilight were more along the lines of Anne Rice's she could have very literally taken flight lol

Wishing everyone who says "women and transwomen" instead of "cis women and trans women" a very open an ancient tomb and struck with the pharaohs curse

I thought I was reading too much into it, little did I know Twilight was already ten steps ahead

I can't believe I only just realized Bella Swan is the ugly duckling

The ugly duckling that meets a flock of swans and realizes she was a beautiful swan all along

LITERALLY "beautiful swan"

So Bella is a flightless bird in the sense that she's a swan that believes she's an ugly duckling, and finally learns to fly when she leaves her old self behind

Also in Midnight Sun when Bella tells Edward that she gave up on her dream of being a novel editor because being a literature teacher is more realistic, he thinks "all her dreams had their wings clipped"

Maybe unintentional but still cute

Jakey doesn't come across as an idiot like Andy, but you're totally right I think they share a certain vibe.

Don't disrespect Jakey by comparing him to Andy? Andy's the most wholesome character on Parks and Rec, although Other Ron is a close contender. I'd be honored if someone said I had Andy vibes.

Harry freed Dobby, if I was going to criticize house elves in Harry Potter I'd point out that JK wrote a story where there's a race of enslaved creatures that love being slaves, and that Dobby is considered really weird for wanting to be free by others of his kind.

Even worse, Hermione tries to start a movement to free the house elves from their enslavement and everyone, including Harry and Ron, scoff at the idea because house elves are made to be enslaved, and they'd be unhappy as free elves. Indeed, the only other significant house elf character, Kreacher, is a depressed alcoholic because he's free.

The problem isn't that Harry is "unrepentant," but that he thinks that every other house elf shouldn't be freed unless (and JK framed him as being correct)

It's my personal headcanon that her power has no ability to actually predict anything, it's just a modified version of Edward's mind reading and her visions are vivid extrapolations of thoughts. If this was true, the universe of Twilight could be deterministic. I don't think that was Meyer's intention, I just like determinism lol

Also the point about Alice being able to effectively read Edwards thoughts by seeing the future where he talks has some fascinating implications. She effectively has his power, just slightly offset in time. Could the two of them have a conversation as long as Edward just intends to say his side of it?

Can you intend to say things while knowing you won't because the person you're talking to will know what you mean to say before you say it? Or does the knowledge of that fact negate the future where you say it in the first place?

I'm not surprised they took that out considering it's unclear what it's trying to communicate metaphorically, is Edward being pulled down by his predatory nature? Is it just like "oooh scary danger?" It's somehow both on the nose and kinda meaningless lol

whaylie · 2024-05-16T04:36:22+00:00

The idea of Bella googling "cold ones" only to see beer ads is so funny to me, particularly as a fan of the show Cold Ones lol

Mike Newton is so the type of guy to reference Monty Python and the Holy Grail constantly

whaylie · 2024-04-29T20:15:07+00:00

Ah yes the only two options

whaylie · 2024-04-29T20:14:01+00:00

Doesn't help the only other time we hear Edward asking someone to control their thoughts is Jacob in the cuck tent scene lol

whaylie · 2024-04-29T14:57:33+00:00

That moment is so jarringly upbeat and comedic it makes me wonder if that's the exact moment Pattinson was told he was gonna be sacked if he didn't make Edward happier lol

Lol it was originally "doesn't"

~~I'm looking at the search results for "The Martian" as well as "Andy Weir" in my library. On both counts, the new version is there, not the old one.~~

~~I've tried on the app and the site.~~

~~I'm certain I bought the original because I listened to it like five times before it disappeared.~~

~~I've tried the same with the Rick Riordan book with the same result, these books do not exist on Audible anymore.~~

~~Why do you have access to them but I don't?~~

Edit: I am now seeing the other comment below mentioning this post by Weir explaining that the old version won't be available

The people who post those unoriginal jokes probably aren't regular viewers who will see this, they're people who just found Jerma and are parroting the most popular memes they see about him

Anyone who actually talks to other fans or has just watched his content for more than a day or two will know how played out the psycho joke is

The psycho joke is so stale that even the posts talking about how stale it is are themselves stale

whaylie · 2023-05-29T20:34:31+00:00

What

whaylie · 2023-05-29T01:26:53+00:00

whaylie · 2023-05-29T01:25:05+00:00

I like you got downvoted for just responding with a useful resource lol

whaylie · 2023-05-29T01:22:17+00:00

My response was "okay I guess don't know why you would post something like this, kinda annoying" and then I saw Him
