Not book or fic, but this is one of the reasons I quit watching daytime soap operas. One can only use poor communication as a plot device for so long before it gets old.

Castle, this is Castle.

I think that's my #1 example of Slow Burn gone wrong. At the end of season 2 was the spot they needed to get together and of course, by the time they did in Season 5, the writers never knew what to do with Beckett so the relationship quickly fell on its nose.

But yeah, this is exactly the opposite way than I'd write a slow burn. Miscommunication is one of my pet peeves since childhood trauma yadda yadda.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeahhhh been there. It's especially annoying when they finally get together but it's at the very end so you don't even get a rewarding conflict resolution and the fic is 90% miscommunication/angst and 10% actual relationship.

Omg, this, this, this, this.
I get it, sometimes it's hard to talk about stuff or face your emotions or WHATEVER, but stop making the assumption that your crush is madly in love and marrying random person because they sat at a table with them and laughed/called them/had them in their phone contacts/made eye contact.

Seriously. Just no.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, exactly. I don't have much patience for idiots in real life, and I definitely don't want to deal with it in the media I consume. Especially when it's idiots and idiotic misunderstandings labeled as "slow burn". THAT'S NOT WHAT SLOW BURN IS.

I have a higher threshold for most for bad communication and wild assumptions (because i wondered in rl how bad people are just using my own surroundings.....and they are really fucking bad omg), but narratives simply can't sustain rl terrible decision making like real people imo and still feel realistically happy. You gotta build it into character very well if you're going to let your pairing be miserable about nothing for that long.

I've got AFoIaF. It at least seems like they attempted to replicate what was in the books, but they also provided alternate recipes with substitutions. Because honestly, not all stores carry the ingredients listed.

[(Anonymous)]

Have you checked out the Redwall cookbook?

[chamonix]

I have the Elder Scrolls one. Making sweetrolls is a singular delight.

[(Anonymous)]

I have Nanny Ogg's Cook Book, but I've not tried to make anything from it yet.

[(Anonymous)]

I love the concept but I always tend to assume that the actual books are just 100% rip-off no-effort moneymakers. I should be less cynical

[(Anonymous)]

I’ve got the Street Fighter one that just came out. Apparently Akuma likes Fruit Sandwiches...

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit the Star Wars cookbooks are egregiously bad about this. "Tatooine French Toast" is not a thing. It's just french toast. The fucking stupidest french toast recipe I've ever seen, too.

I run into this a lot when I do themed Halloween parties and try to look up what other people have done, it's never canon foods and just regular food with cute names and vaguely canon-related decorations on them. I made full on New York style hot dogs for my Ghostbusters party, not just green jello.

I redownloaded Sims 3 recently and it's super slow on my computer so I didn't get to really enjoy the experience and I'm content with Sims 4 but I do miss a lot of the old features. The mod community though is exceptional and is the one saving grace of this game.

I guess something about the character rubs them the wrong way and they feel the need to express that somehow. But yeah, I don't really get going on and on about a character one hates either, especially if it's in a serious story and nothing meant to be satirical.
