A friend told me to stop forcing fight scenes into my stories

I was writing this fanfic for Attack on Titan. Every chapter had a big action set piece. My buddy read through my first three drafts and said 'your characters are just stuntmen.' Hit me hard. Realized I was skipping all the quiet moments between fights. The conversations, the planning, the dumb jokes. Changed my whole approach after that. Now I write scenes where nothing explodes. Feels more real. Has anyone else gotten feedback that totally flipped how you write?

Spent 4 hours arguing about One Piece filler arcs and got nowhere

Ngl I tried to explain why the G-8 filler arc is actually worth watching to someone who skips all filler, and they just kept saying 'but it's not canon' for 45 minutes straight. Has anyone actually gotten through to a filler-hater without losing your mind?

Subbed vs. Dubbed finally clicked for me...

I used to be a hardcore sub-only guy, thought dubs ruined everything. Then I watched Cowboy Bebop with the English cast at a friend's place in Portland... Steve Blum as Spike just hits different, man. The timing and emotion line up perfectly in a way I never noticed before. Anyone else have that one show that flipped your preference?
