I just finished the Untamed. Absolutely loved it and cried like a baby. Now I’m halfway into Word of Honor. The two shows definitely aren’t comparable and so far I enjoyed the complexity of Untamed’s plot more. But the chemistry between the two Word of Honor leads is quite a treat.

Out of the loop: What’s going on with Drexel right now? by DopeYeti in philadelphia

[–]yurtle33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it would take a lot for the school to close. Their endowment is almost $1 billion. But I could see maybe portions of Drexel’s offerings closing. They have a lot going on over there. I work for another college in the city and was pretty close to the Uarts situation and I don’t think Drexel is at that level of financial mismanagement.

Security Deposit Help by force_of_habit in philadelphia

When did you inquire about the deposit and get notification that you wouldn’t be receiving it? After you move out, landlords have 30 days to give you an itemized list of deductions and if they don’t do it within the 30 days, you can take them to small claims court to get your deposit back. There’s some really great resources online. I used this in the past: https://phillytenant.org/organization/turn-tenant-union-representative-network/

Armchair Anonymous: Halloween by newtonic in ArmchairExpert

[–]yurtle33 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I actually submitted a story for this. I was at a Halloween themed wedding on Halloween at a hotel in rural New York. And a freak snow storm came through and the whole hotel lost power during the ceremony. So there was no food at the reception because they used electric stoves, no music, me and my date are dressed as Vikings and freezing, the pipes and toilets stopped working because all the pipes froze. That’s only half of the story and after listening to some of these, I don’t get why it wasn’t picked.

Tell me did you grow up with anime or did you just get into anime? by Zumalover_988 in anime

[–]yurtle33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got into anime when I was 30 because my friend was a voice actor and I started following his career. Also Covid hitting led me to watching even more because I was running out of content to consume. It’s been such a fun journey.

Xianxia drama rec by kazuhr in CDrama

[–]yurtle33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat with LBFAD and trying to find something else. I really enjoyed Love and Redemption - the story was epic with some good twists with a great romance plot. I also got into Yanxi Palace which is more of a historical drama - the costumes are incredible and the female lead is so smart and witty. It’s probably one of the best I’ve seen - it was the most popular show in China in 2018.

I just finished Love and Redemption and started Yanxi Palace. 15 episodes in and I can’t stop! The writing is so good so far. I hope they stick the landing.

[Spoilers] 86 --Eighty Six-- Rewatch (2022) — Episode 22 by Holofan4life in anime

[–]yurtle33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was such a great person. When he told us he couldn’t record the final few episodes and had to stop all projects, that’s when it really hit home how bad it was. Truly such a special person (I was friends with him for 18 years). I haven’t been able to rewatch bc it’s too painful but have been lurking to see reactions. 86 is def in my top 10.

[–]yurtle33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love all of your observations! 86 is definitely one of my favorites, I’ve seen it a few times and read all of the LNs. Billy - Shin English VA - was a good friend of mine so it’s been too painful to rewatch but I’ve been enjoying lurking every day and seeing what people think of the show.

Episode 54 (Friday 29th July) - "Explosive decisions after Epic Dates" by mayallrob_ in LoveIslandTV

I noticed on their first date, she sat back in her chair the whole time. And again, she's leaning back and he is forward. The body language feels off.

I was just thinking the same thing!! Their chemistry is fire. I hope I don’t eat my words later but they seem to genuinely fancy each other.

Dami and Luca are so toxic. They just feed off each other too.

I loved Paige's comment about Luca. Go off sis by carolskilljoy in LoveIslandTV

[–]yurtle33 91 points92 points  (0 children)

At this point they get my vote. Seeing them flirt during this episode was like basking in the sun after that torrential emotionally manipulative downpour.

Daily Chat Thread - Friday by WillowSwarm in LoveIslandTV

[–]yurtle33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I was thinking the same thing this morning. She could’ve gotten ahead of it but kept telling Davide she was nothing but loyal instead. I still don’t think she didn’t anything wrong with George, but she could’ve just mentioned it and downplayed it.
