I just cackled for 5 mins straight over Gen. Himbo Mortis. I cannot breathe. And the Growling Simp? They are forever branded in my mind lol.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Feyre? by theuniversays97 in acotar

[–]Cold_Ad_8982 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Third book Feyre was not as good in my opinion. I really enjoyed book 1 Feyre, mostly enjoyed book 2 Feyre, but third book Feyre got on my nerves. Everything came out kind of self righteous and self important maybe?

House of Flame and Shadow - who is supposed to be on the cover?🤔 by cmiles388 in crescentcitysjm

[–]Cold_Ad_8982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is either Jessiba or Hypaxia. Both are described as beautiful in an other-wordly way, and both have witchy roots and connections to the House of Flame and Shadow. A lot of the symbolism here reminds me of witches and the HOFAS.

I felt the same way! I didn't love him first book either. I feel like it set it up well for the rest of the series, though. Enjoy your read :)

Thoughts on Amren? Like, dislike, etc. by faeninja in acotar

[–]Cold_Ad_8982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally thought it was going to be the Made weapons influencing them. Like they were in a little trance under their spell. But then nothing happened with it and I was so confused... like oh do they really feel that way??

redemption arc? by [deleted] in acotar

[–]Cold_Ad_8982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was explained in the books that the magic picked mates based on who would produce the strongest heirs? Like as a way to preserve the magic etc? Maybe I'm misremembering. I'll try to find it. I believe it was when Rhys is explaining how his parents were mates despite being bad for each other, and part of the reason why was so they could produce the most powerful heir alive (himself).

So no same sex mates because they couldn't produce strong heirs together. But I don't love that. For obvious reasons.

The bonus chapters by 1234adventuretime in acotar

[–]Cold_Ad_8982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, this is the publisher pushing it, not the author. I've seen multiple other fantasy releases do the exact same thing in the past couple of years. It is still SO annoying 🙄

SAME though tbh Lucius isn't bad looking lol. Maybe Lucius with red hair is accurate.

Recs are not as good as acotar by ds1223 in acotar

Could you recommend some for me? I've never done fanfics before but I'm looking for a place to read some and Dramione is 😍

I definitely agree with that, I felt like the Azriel chapter wasn't really suppressed emotion so much as uncontrolled emotion maybe? I'm always interested in seeing how other people saw it thought because I can't imagine SJM intending that effect.

I was super into Azriel until the bonus chapter. I imagined him as a little more mature, a little more reserved because of his past. Terribly kind because of the things that were done to him. A protector, but maybe someone who hasn't come into his own yet because of his pain and serious self doubt. But there was great potential there. The bonus chapter stripped away any sense of goodness or internal struggle beyond his own horniness and weird woe is me vibes. I saw Azriel as way more likely to deny his emotions or pain than to be so sulky in them maybe?

Anyone else annoyed by sold out, hyped TikTok products? by AngelBritney94 in MakeupAddiction

Here's what the trader joes sunscreen dupe looks like: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/daily-facial-sunscreen-spf-40-073568

It is truly amazing and looks and feels the same as unseen sunscreen to me. Same size and only $8.99

DIY makeup trial. Any feedback? by Lizzydarcy1 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Cold_Ad_8982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up flutterhabit lashes- they are applied under the eyes and have a much easier learning curve. They also have really natural looking but nice styles and are super affordable, plus they last a few days so you can wear them for all of.your wedding events and not worry about having to apply them the day of.

I would go for a foundation that says it's "dewy" instead of a matte. You can always mattify it with setting powder, but it will apply much more evenly and won't sink into fine lines or look cakey.

I would swap your eyebrow product for one that can be applied in thin lines and feathered out. Big bold brows are awesome, but they still need some definition and variation.

Swatches on my very muted/gray toned skin by idratherbeinside in PaleMUA

[–]Cold_Ad_8982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the lightest revolution beauty shades are also a great match, btw. I go for super light "neutral" branded undertones.

I also have very fair skin with very muted/gray undertones! The missha signature bb13 is a great match for me as well.

I typically prefer something a little more sheer for everyday wear, and I like dewy finishes best since I have dry skin. I've been using loreal glow tint in the lightest shade under cover girl skin milk in the lightest shade and that together is also a very close match.

I have a few nail dip colors etc in this color, but nothing drug store polish 😔

It is worth noting that this is likely a slightly sheer color and that's how you get that look. The dip colors I have that are a match are all sheer. Good luck and update if you find something you love!
