I don't care if they're right there within spitting distance, I would tell them in no uncertain terms that the ferry was closed, come back after the storm passes.
But author forbid the "heroes" not get their own way in everything.
We get it, Douglass. You really don't need to have every NPC tell us how beautiful the girls are. We figured that out the first dozen times you did it.
Shades of California Angel (feel free to ask for a link to my review) in which even traumatised little children won't stop obsessing over how OMG BEAUTIFUL the self-insert Mary Sue is.
Plus, it's a little weird that everyone who notices them seems to have the same taste in women. There is no universal standard for beauty, even if you're speaking objectively.
Yeah, that annoys the hell out of me. I had a character get aggressively hit on by an attractive blonde, and he was immediately just not into it and tried to politely turn her down because she's just not his type. It's as simple as that.
I can't wait until Yr meets someone who has absolutely no interest in women or sex. It's going to blow her mind. I know Douglass would never let that happen, but it's fun to imagine.
Yeah, like if gay guys were actually allowed to exist, sooner or later she'd probably end up hitting on one and losing her shit because why doesn't he want to sleep with her??
But for Timozel to demand that he let them cross for free is kind of scummy.
He doesn't even give any reasons as to why they should ride for free. Like Faraday is an important noble who's going to freeze to death or something like that.
At least she calls it out as bad behavior. I would half expect her to act like her characters are entitled to free things wherever they go, but I'm not giving her any points for this.
Me neither, because if Timmy was one of her favourites it would be completely okay for him to go around expecting free shit. It's only because he's a side character who's already been designated as the future Traitor In The Ranks that he's called out on it. If this was Axis, it'd be crickets and tumbleweed. And Axis would have been WAY douchier about it.
She's pissed me off too many times for me to grant her any good will.
Oh, believe me, she hasn't even gotten started in that department.
