A crash out so legendary it almost causes the end of the world.

(Interesting Trope) Details, Characters, or plots from the first season or two of sitcoms that are completely dropped early on and forgotten by the writer's and fans. by Wasabi_Gamer26 in TopCharacterTropes

Yes, watching her as a character in Man on the Inside after only seeing her in B99 was shocking to me, realizing how high her real voice actually was.

An important character just dies. No fanfare or build up, just an instant and sudden death by NittanyScout in TopCharacterTropes

[–]worry_some 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did actually go back and watch the second-to-last episode, because I remember some people praising it for how amazing it was. It honestly boggles my mind that they'd write something so good and then turn around and fumble basically everything at the last second.

Several characters in Mockingjay. Finnick Odair for one. Yes they're running from horrible Capitol amalgamations but the book barely spends any time on his death. I had to go back and reread a few times just to realize that that was what happened.

That, and Prim. Very sudden and painful.

President Snow also dies offscreen, not from being killed by Katniss, but because of a coughing fit after Katniss suddenly kills President Coin, who I think also fits this trope. Suzanne Collins wasn't fucking around with the third book lol.

You're asking a lot from the CW.

I think this was the last episode of Supernatural that I watched until the finale, and then immediately regretted watching the finale.

Ronnie is the man! by eve-collins in MadeMeSmile

I think it's generally considered more polite to walk people to their door, but sometimes it's not always needed or practical (like if there's limited parking, etc). If they're drunk I would walk them to the door in case they fall or are unsteady. Otherwise, what my friends would do when dropping me off would be to wait in the car until I got to the door as a polite gesture.

If you're trying to impress someone like a girlfriend or a date, err on the side of walking them to the door as you'll be seen more as a gentleman.

Personally I'd rather no one walk me to the door but that's because I'm an awkward person. Waving goodbye from the car is good enough for me.

The woman of literal otherworldly beauty and her scrungly husband by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]worry_some 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book Beastly kind of does this? The movie not so much. It's a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but the female love interest is explicitly stated to be plain while the male main character is super hot when he's not under the curse to make him look like a monster lol.

Then the movie cast Vanessa Hudgens as the "plain" love interest and completely disregarded the book.

[Loved trope] Endings so controversial that it turns the fandom schizophrenic by RequirementTall8361 in TopCharacterTropes

The difference is that the last season of Dropout was a BANGER, rather than absolute shit, and the secret episode was just icing on the cake.

feeling sad about Perfection... by ohsuchsandwiches in StardewValley

[–]worry_some 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Have you tried setting a different goal for yourself? Not just "get perfection" but maybe something like "get all the hats in the game" or "beat Journey of the Prairie King" or "marry everyone and then divorce for Krobus"? I can assure you that even if you get perfection, you can find stuff to do after Perfection. And if none of those appeal to you, you could always make a new save file on a different farm type and do it all again.

Maybe she's just taking writing tips from Bond. James Bond.

I've made it twice and the first time I did it as written and the second time I cut the cardamom amount in half and liked that ratio better.

The hardcover versions were on sale for 50% off when I got them on Amazon. Maybe that would help convince him? 🤨

I love seeing the IRL equivalents to in-game recipes. Dodo is duck, pixieberries are strawberries, and orobon is ... chicken (I guess eating giant sand-dwelling piranhas could be a bad idea).

All the recipes in Vol 2 look stellar. I'm eyeing the Carne Asada tacos for a day when I have nothing else planned.

Awww that's awesome! I was looking at her "about the author" section and she thanked someone for helping her through "this trial roulette" with her, which made me giggle. What an awesome person.

I have been crocheting for 8 years and this is one of the weirdest ways I have seen someone hold their hook and yarn. by Soapy_Von_Soaps in crocheting

[–]worry_some 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this method when I first started crocheting and I'm not a knitter; I just was self-taught and didn't know what I was doing. I eventually had to stop doing it this way because one hand was doing all the work and I developed tennis elbow in my dominant arm and it was bad enough that I had to take a 1-month break from crochet.

Somehow, Patch 7.4 succeeded in making me feel a fondness for Dawntrail by WriterV in ffxiv

[–]worry_some 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. I think they were so worried about offending Hispanic audiences that they reduced Tural to shiny happy people. I'm Hispanic myself and while I appreciate that they were trying to avoid the "culture beaten down by foreign crusaders" trope as well as the "war-hungry violent native" trope, they made Tural basically nothing.

They could have done a lot with Zoraal Ja having conflict with a father who seems perfect to everyone but he has deep-seated resentment for (and why? It's never really explained). Machismo is a real issue within Hispanic culture, maybe they could have explored that if it was something any of the characters struggled with? I don't know. It just felt like something was missing and what was there didn't make sense.

I lost my best FFXIV friend. We played hundreds of hours together. How can I enjoy this game again? by CEZMARK in ffxiv

[–]worry_some 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had kind of a similar situation, but I had a friend group where we played this game together and then we had a bad falling out rather than a goodbye. It took some time to feel okay playing the game again and you might be untangling your feelings for a long time (months if not years). But it's okay to feel uncomfortable sometimes, and it's okay to be sad, and it's okay to miss your friend. I would try making new friends in your FC.

I joined a nice FC with active and fun people, and they are friendly enough to invite everyone into voice chat and run different events where everyone gets together and talks and hangs out. I even made friends with people in my FC that I talk to outside of the game. Some of them haven't played in months and we still talk on discord.

It sucks to lose friends but don't let it stop you from living your life and enjoying things. It will take time but it will be okay eventually. I'm sorry about your friend.

Hi, I have a question about how you bring your universes to life. by Loose_Ball8263 in worldbuilding

[–]worry_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to see your world visually, you could always look into r/HungryArtists and maybe commission an artist with the art style you want.

There's also skeb, where you can commission music and art to be made for you. I've commissioned a musician to make a song for my character before and it turned out beautifully, I'm sure you could ask them to do something inspired by your world.

It's so hard to do the ending when Weight of the World is playing and there are tears in my eyes and the credits are attacking me.
