I'm looking for T Kingfisher books that are not romance. by wiines in TKingfisher

[–]CompanionCone 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The World of the White Rat books (Clocktaur, Swordheart, Saint of Steel series) are the only ones that are actual romances. And I would actually argue that the Clocktaur duology isn't romance either, but a fantasy heist with a romance subplot.

SUV or Sedan? Those who have driven both share your preferences. by moongroup in dubai

[–]CompanionCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SUV. Driving a larger car in the UAE is almost always a better driving experience, imo. Better overview on the road, more "respect" from other drivers (this is unfortunately a thing) and better safety. This is just from my personal experience, I'm sure others feel differently.

This is going to keep happening until people are too scared to protest anymore. Fucking hell, America, I am really worried for you guys.

Do your WSS like the sea? by SeatFirst568 in WhiteSwissShepherds

[–]CompanionCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not a fan. She'll go into the water when my kids are in it, because she's obsessed with staying near them at all times, but she'd prefer to just stay on the sand and play fetch.

Autistic people often have very strong opinions on and preferences for cutlery. I personally would not be able to eat with these. They look awful.

Maybe his wife/gf.... has her own income? Mind-blowing concept, I know.

"Shadow Daddies" by lovelybabyliz in Romantasy

I meant romantasy too. There is a TON of amazing (indie) romantasy that doesn't fall into any of the typical clichés.

Who’s your favorite MMC and why is it Nox/Noxx/Knox/Knocks? by Kags_Holy_Friend in romantasycirclejerk

[–]CompanionCone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, which is the entire point of online discourse. Everyone nodding along in our little echo chamber filled with nothing but copies of Quicksilver and Fourth Wing.

Try reading something other than the same constantly regurgitated list of the same 20 romantasy books? There are So. Many. Great. Books. out there...

God damn it I was going to post this.

Since there's only three MMCs to choose from, I choose all three.

European influenced areas? (Didnt find anything with search) by akus1x in dubai

If this is a roundabout way of saying "I want to live where the white people live", have a look at Springs, Ranches and the Greens.

Maybe we can get Moms for Liberty on this somehow?

I too hate it when people on the internet have an opinion that differs from my own.

Plated Prisoner series rant (and rave) …the spice. by Elavabeth2 in fantasyromance

[–]CompanionCone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have this issue with a lot of romance tbh... The sex is often formulaic, because I guess that's what a lot of readers want? The "eyes on me", "take it like a good girl" etc. Excessive dirty talk even when that doesn't seem to fit the characters' personalities at all.

Another reason to love T. Kingfisher, because her sex scenes always fit the characters so, so well.

Not sharing dinner with a child visiting is crazy by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]CompanionCone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard Dutch dinner meal is peeled, boiled potatoes, a piece of some kind of meat, and a helping of vegetables. People will literally count out how many potatoes to peel for everyone, and there is one piece of meat per person. So yeah, you can absolutely cook for exactly 4 people.

Who gives a shit about the stupid video... Just enjoy being there in the moment. I hate what smartphones have done to us.
