I did. Though it was a little rushed the last book, i like it when things are drawn out more, I'm used to 800 plus page novels so that's probably just me

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

In history?
No.
She's literally the popular origin of the term though (or at least so commonly credited it might as well be fact).
Whether it's fair to her character that worse versions of the type exist her speech is why it's a phrase.
TIL what a pick me girl is...
I did not learn this from the words above and have no idea what it means or who she is.
you learn something new every day!
I've been binging Grey's (currently on the Covid season) and wouldn't consider Mer to be a "pick me girl". Especially after Derek, she has focused on her career and family and only has occasional flings. Her self esteem doesn't come from any sort of external validation.
A quote from this season about Mer sums it up well: You've always been your own person. A force of nature. You've never needed anyone but you.
Well, the actress herself felt differently, but okay.

The article does not say that the actress felt that Meredith was a "pick me girl". It highlighted one specific scene that she felt was cringe, but fans of the show loved.
Sure, she only said it was cringe for one of the primary reasons that pick me girls are cringe.
Weird hill to die on, but you do you.
I think our definition of "pick me girl" is different which is why we're not seeing eye-to-eye.
I'm the Dragon Lance novels Kitiara is character that has bonded with an adult blue dragon calles Sky i think.
You two areguing makes me think you are about bond with each other, as kitiara didnt start out as one of rhe bad guys but ended up being a major person in the evil army
Just a coincidence in your names but amusing to me for the coincidence of it
Sometimes I think I'm too stoned for lemmy.
I love books though so ::thumbs-up::
Sometimes in think i should be more stoned for Lemmy, or at least stoned more often
I like to read sci-fi. You read any sci-fi? Anything you really liked?
I'm not the guy you're responding to, but if you want a really interesting take on sci-fi mixed with medieval fantasy then check our Jaran by Kate Elliott.
Been looking for a new litrpg. Just finshed book 11 of He Who Fights with Monsters, but dont have a good Sci-fi on the go.
Im thinkin for trying to find where left off reading the Battletech Novels in chronological order
Ide love some suggestions, last sci fi i read was Red Rising series i think it was called.
I loved Seven Eves by Neal Stephenson
I'll have to look into it. A friend of a friend wrote a thing years ago called Tales from the afternow - Sean Kennedy
Sean was a huge fan of Snowcrash and ive had that Stephensen book on my list for while, ill have to check out Seven Eyes!
Eves! Seven Eves!
Do you remember if you liked Red Rising
It's been entirely too long since I read those books!
I didn't think me and the other guy were arguing, though. There were no bad feelings.
