Yeah, his character in Horns isn’t exactly a Harry Potter type. Neither is his next role, Igor in Victor Frankenstein.

Bug Juice was a Disney Channel reality show about kids at summer camp. Eve was sent home for reasons never explained, but I always assumed it was pot.

Oh my gosh, are you Eve from Bug Juice?

Being a 9 time girls camp attendee myself, may I say, HA!

THIRTEEN!

I can objectively look at his actions and be like, hmmmm... that is problematic... But I don’t care and I love him and I want him and Olivia to live in stupid fucking Vermont and have all the sex on a stupid jam covered table.

You are correct if she had asked her dining companions about what swiss cheese was, but asking the server makes her a pain in the ass.

Yeah, I realize now that I misread your initial comment. I skipped a word or two and thought you were saying it was a common name for Hobbit lasses. Just ignore me.

I have a 3 year old who changes his name regularly (not legally, obvs), and it’s usually whoever his favorite superhero is that week. (My favorite was the time he was Luke Skywalker for like 4 days straight, then suddenly whipped his shirt off and yelled, “I’m Han Solo!”

Not to be a total nerd, but I thought the point of Elanor was that it was not a common Hobbit name. Sam wanted to use one of the beautiful and complicated names he’d heard on his journey, but they would seem strange in the Shire, so Frodo suggested an elvish flower name? Actaully, whatever, I am a total nerd, and that…

Um... what was cliche about the Robin/Jonno backstory, exactly? Is that old hat where you’re from?

I usually think they look pretty different (like related, but not identical), but I actually thought the picture up top was a picture of Bonet at first glance.

I recently found out that when I got engaged my husband’s longest term ex messaged him and asked him if we had done premarital counseling and if I had read certain relationship books because she wanted to know “if it was really something to be happy about.” I was fucking livid. (The message was sent almost 6 years…

Yeah, the whole “Atticus is racist!” outcry isn’t surprising to me because, did you read the things he says about black people in TKAM? Like, he was against the mistreatment of black people, but he wasn’t for equality. Scout tells that pretend drunk who’s married (although, I think not legally) to a black woman that…

The book is pretty sympathetic to Mayella, actually. Not for lying, but for what a wretched, empty, hopeless life she had when she was just smart enough to want more.

Atticus hated the Ewells because they were white and didn’t have any “excuse” for being the way they were. He didn’t “hate” black people because he saw them as inferior.

I don’t think Mayella was a good time girl at all. I think she was completely starved for any type of affection and she latched onto Tom because he was kind to her.

I love TKAM, and I read it for the first time when I was 9 (on my own), but I am a big re-reader, And I have revisited it maybe ten times since then. It is a lot more nuanced than I realized when I was 9.

I think the book makes perfectly clear that Bob was the one who beat her then, and I don’t know if he raped her at that time, but Atticus asks her if she has ever kissed anyone, and she slips and says something about her father doing things to her. I don’t have my copy of the book on me so I can’t pull the exact…

She is a terribly sad character. The book is mostly sympathetic to her except , I think, at one point near the end of her testimony when she gets really nasty about Tom. But even in the first introduction to the Ewells it mentions her coffee pot geraniums.
