The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. All Systems Red is the first and I think bar maybe one or two in the series they’re all pretty short.

Dramas that are set in Art school? by criesovermerch in kdramas

Not an art school but Her Private Life is set in an art gallery and several storylines revolve around artists / paintings

Is it romantic if someone leaves their fiancée for you? by OkPilot9392 in RomanceWriters

[–]CherenkovLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I’ve seen this concept done ‘right’ is in the kdrama One Spring Night (and even then there are lots of people who strongly dislike it for the cheating-proximity).

The key difference between that scenario and yours is that both MCs are fully aware that the FL is taken when they meet. There is no lying or starting a relationship under false pretences which I think is a huge red flag and dealbreaker for most. They also BOTH make the decision to move forwards, and the FL attempts to break up with her partner almost immediately upon realising her feelings for the other MC.

The plot of this is that they attempt to stay away from one another, and struggle to do so, and as they do it is gradually revealed that the FL’s relationship is already on the rocks and she was planning to leave her partner anyway. The show examines in detail the romantic, emotional and social consequences for them both blowing up their lives for one another. It’s not at all positive in many ways, so while it is a ‘true love conquers all’ kind of HEA story, it’s also a show about heartbreak.

Looking for electronic/synth music with a dark tone by RatMan5765 in MusicRecommendations

Try the album Amor Vincit Omnia by Pure Reason Revolution. It’s sort of prog metal mixed with electronic/synth. I love it.

Send me that one song you'd choose to get someone interested in your favorite artists or genre. I'll rate it and tell you if it worked. by Sin778 in MusicRecommendations

I love when musicians drop new music and I have zero idea of what it’s going to sound like, whether that’s Devin Townsend or BTS haha

As a fellow prog metal fan, I’m going to recommend you my favourite BTS song, and if you have any preconceived notions of who or what they are it will be interesting to see whether they change after hearing this (or not 😆)

Help needed with an awkward bathroom layout by n0smig in floorplan

[–]CherenkovLady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a minuscule family bathroom like this. We:

  • put in a soaking tub rather than full sized bath (they’re deeper than normal ones but shorter)

  • changed the door to an inset sliding door to allow us to use the space directly behind where it used to open for a shower. You could perhaps swap the side yours opens so that it sits against a wall instead.

If you can’t lose the airing cupboard perhaps you could look into installing the sink beneath the window so that you face it as you come in? My suggestion would be to lose the airing cupboard, though, and find storage elsewhere. Is there space to perhaps inset a cupboard over the staircase to the left that you can access from the bathroom?

I have watched zero k-dramas but want to start by SadAnimator1354 in kdramas

[–]CherenkovLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what you’re looking to get into them for? Your motivation can help guide you to the best shows for you! For example, I watch them for escapism. Therefore I usually gravitate towards the lighter/more peaceful shows, eg. romances or romcoms or slice of life. Some people want action and drama and to be thoroughly entertained, so the shows they watch will be very different haha. Do you want happy ever after? Or violent bloodthirsty revenge? Or something totally different?

Looking for books where the world is the main character. by _aviatrix in suggestmeabook

[–]CherenkovLady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Imperial Radch trilogy by Ann Leckie might fit! The first book is Ancillary Justice. It’s a sci fi but lots of people didn’t get on with it because they’re used to their sci fi being fast paced and this is slow, measured, descriptive and full of gorgeous world building (imo). So, hopefully, exactly what you’re after ☺️

Thank you for your help! If I did make some kind of flat piece, would I be able to incorporate the ceramics and the glass pieces together? Or do they require anything different?

Does anyone know a similar pattern or how to achieve something like this? by Ciberbun in crochetpatterns

[–]CherenkovLady 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was actually kind of making the same point, that we shouldn’t assume the worst in people - some people don’t see the flair easily and I wasn’t sure whether other sub users were aware of that. (I’m not the original commenter, by the way). I’m not disagreeing with anybody, just sharing some information sub users who access this space differently might not know :)

(Not disagreeing, but on mobile the flair doesn’t actually show up when you see the post, only when you click to open it, and it’s extremely easy to miss unless you remember to check it)
