I used to go to Pigeon Forge as a kid and man it's awful now. Why is there a Shark themed Surf shop? If I wanted to go to Destin, Florida I would. I know it's not the town's fault but I'm not surprised it's the staging ground for a tire fire. Good news the bears are leaving the mountains and coming over here so you don't even have to go over there for wildlife anymore. There's been one wandering around here for a week or two. Second one this year.

I feel like if I had a good time as a kid I can see some nostalgia for it but I don’t get the volume of people obsessed with it at all. Also true the building and just sheer volume of people there is driving so much of the wildlife out toward the middle of the state which is wild.

It's funny, I haven't read Francesca's book, so I didn't realize about the Michael/Michaela thing until after the show was over. I didn't like where they were headed with Francesca because I thought she was uncomfortable with the cousin coming because she was bubbly and a stranger, while she was trying to find peace out in the country, and as an introvert, I understood that.

My main issue with the Michaela swap in Bridgerton is Franscesca’s book deals heavily with infertility which in the regency era requires a male and female to play out, don’t care about any other sibling getting a different gendered love interest but it impacts her story the most

imo i think there's still time to do that next season with john still being alive and then also reconciling that with wanting to be with a woman? if they write a good story that is. to me my main issue was that they showed francesca not really into john + also had violet be so against it the entirety of pt2 + having francesca be flustered when she never fell first. i haven't read the books so don't have an attachment to that but i felt like they really demeaned and ruined the love francesca and john seemingly had in pt1.

I've heard that is a big part of her story but I feel like there are ways to make it work even "back then" with a lesbian couple. I also feel like they have pivoted from the books a good bit already so it just doesn't surprise me if that part is changed either way 💖

I saw Courtney Milan's thread on the Wolff case and tbh from her assessment it doesn't actually look like there is a substance to the claims of infringement. A lot of the points in comparison list are just examples of tropes and tropes can't be (and shouldn't be) an intellectual property of somebody.
@HappyforNow

Her thread was well after I filmed and I do think to a judge yes this case probably wouldn’t go far. Since this is going to trial there is potential for the jury to say otherwise. Tracy may be innocent but there could be some other stuff revealed via emails and time stamps from the agent to the person at entangled who had the IP work request 🤷🏻♀️ time will tell what is said. Either way the agent was doing an awful job 💖

oh my god what is wrong with people???? i think that happy place will work really well as a series with the flashbacks. probably just a one and done limited series deal but I think that's the best option for it. and so excited for stacy abrams book to get an adaptation. i love fanfic. i love fanfic writers and the pipeline that has been created....but i do not read the original ship that these latest ones are based offf of so that's going to be a hard sell for me. it will be interesting to see the reception from the larger public and where the trends go from there.

i'm so not on board with all these fics getting adapted largely because i feel like a majority of fanfiction relies on pre-existing knowledge and care for these characters which causes them to be undeveloped, or using of characterization already made by someone else. idk it feels like a slippery slope. still, i feel like the more AU a fic is the more suitable they are to get picked up, but that one harry potter x handmaid's tale one has me really scratching my head bc... how do you adapt that when neither are in the public domain, both very much influenced your work, and it needs an insane amount of rehaul to not get copyrighted? i hate jkr but imo she'd be stupid not to sue, as well as m atwood unless major rewrites happen

I mean they already are rehauling and successfully so many contemporary AUs. I know I DNF'd a fantasy romance one for another franchise, but I do think it's pretty possible to replace some of the magic systems because most of that is not copyrightable. If they are as good of writers as many say they should be able to manage it so it will be interesting overall to see how it plays out by next summer/fall.

I cannot fathom saying those things about a man who did that. I’m disgusted. I thought it was going to be all teenagers saying those things but the ones you showed commenting look like grown adults. Wtf is wrong with people? Those poor victims and their families. I read romance, but separating reality from fiction isn’t difficult to do. I don’t even necessarily like dark romance, but these people are the reason others think all dark romance readers are this bad. They are NOT! (If any dark romance readers would like to chime in and oppose these people, it would honestly be a reassurance).

The only time one should stan or like a m*work (really... youtube>?).... is the 2d fictional person..... Do I enjoy MCU Loki or Yandere guys... only in fiction not IRL.

I did not expect this video to open with a Bridgerton s3b spoiler. 😂 I was doing housework and now I am intruiged to splurge in July on the netflix sub. Idk how the lawsuit will go, almost every plagirism case I've seen relies on tropes and cliches in the genre, but if they can prove the author had acess to the work, that's abhorent behavior. If B&B gets picked up the one scene I want kept is the cooking at home one. Please, it's so sweet. (And the accidental cannibalism) 🫣🪻
