B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@Shorticus
I made a Facebook account once to post a comment on a news article. I've never used it since and the comment was lost without being posted. Guess what? Facebook still spams my email. I'm currently trying to block it.

And the second question?

@Boop_Im_A_Dragon
What is this MS paint you speak of? And does it work on a tablet?

The KFC for Christmas thing is pretty bullshit. That being said, even eating something as absolutely awful as KFC "Chicken" doesn't hold a candle to how devastating anime is to our young American men and women. It's one of those decline and fall level things.

@Vilageidiotx

While we're on the topic of things ruining the youngsters: SOCIAL MEDIA. How many selfies do you need?!

We do have a flag but it is in my mind, I do not have a picture to send you. Should I send a description?

What if we lack a picture?

The Inheritance Cycle is the book series the Illuminati hand down through the generations to preserve their secrets.

I'm inclined to agree with Dawnscroll, because, um...

Some spoilers, naturally

IIRC:

• Lol @ Solembum (or however you spell the weird, shape-shifting cat-thing's name)
• The story with Galbatorix struck me as cheesy
• The weird girl (Angela, I think?) was weird and seemingly there for no plot reasons.
• Saphira was exactly the sort of overprotective mother figure that I hate in stories of all forms.
• The movie just struck me as so hilariously bad...maybe it's just how the wraith and Galbatorix looked, but something made me laugh the whole way through
• Some plot twists (there's a giant, secret trove of dragon eggs!) had zero foreshadowing and just came out of nowhere simply to peddle the plot along
• The secret name of the magic language that makes Eragon into a god was just...on some old stone tablet? That Galbatorix dug up somewhere? REALLY? Christopher Paolini (or whatever the author's name is) had the potential for something epic here, but it was just...that simple? And they had talked about it so much throughout the books...

To balance out that rant with some rare positivism, I really liked the Urgals. Everything about the Urgals as a race and their contribution to the story was compelling, but beyond that the only characters I really liked were the old elf and his similarly decrepit dragon. Can't even remember their names though, it's been a while :/

@Cyclone

Oromis (?) and Glaedr.

Response

Cheesiness is rather insidious and hard to combat.

I like weird.

I found it ironic that she took the role of overprotective mother when Eragon raised her.

Haven't seen the movie but I wouldn't really judge ANY book series by their film adaptation.

Well, one could argue that foreshadowing might have tipped off the baddies but you have a point in the spontaneous plot twist bit.

That last one seems like a bit of an author troll. If it was on a tablet, who wrote it?

Not gunning for an argument.

I never said riding.

I mean you put the dragons in armor.

And have them kill people FOR you.

It's genius.

@poog the pig

A dragon knight who has the hobby of catch and release princess-napping?

They'll give you some powerful object or knowledge, I assume. Or magic.

@Hael

Sounds good.

@The Nexerus I don't believe Trump is a white supremacist or the second coming of Hitler but I do believe he has attracted some rather questionable supporters.
