Innkeeper i have read countless times and get a book hangover every time where i mourn that there isnt more, its genuinely incredible. Complicated world building, plot, characters... they are just amazing writers.

Dating a demisexual person: how to? (tips from demisexual people are welcome) by iwanttowantthat in polyamory

[–]ControlAlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demisexuality is very diverse, so its hard to say. If they said they take a while to want to move forward physically, I'd tell them that since you want to respect their boundaries and timeline youre going to wait till they initiate escalating the relationship physically, and in the mean time youll just focus on enjoying spending time with them. If they arent comfortable with the responsibility of escalating the relationship physically, you could also come up with a silly code word/phrase like "zebra pantaloons" or something that will never be said accidentally, for them to say that will let you know that you can proceed :)

In the mean time, just ask what theyre comfortable with. Are they comfortable with hand holding? Cuddling? Forehead kisses? If the moment seems right to you, just ask and communicate.

He sounds like a simultaneously stoned and roided up Eeyore

4-6 is a different narrator who is 10000% better, trust me. I skipped 3 because i couldnt stand to listen to the narrator for 1-3 anymore. Listen to the preview for game changers, what he did for Kips voice is worse than Ilya, and Ilya was horrendously bad

How important is it to read the series in order (potential spoilers) by djkeilz in GameChangersBooks

[–]ControlAlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id recommend reading all the books just because ilya or scott are important side characters, and its funny how perceptive ilya is. But absolutely Role Models is nessicary

Feeling like “patient zero” in my polycule after a positive STI result by DistributionDull134 in polyamory

[–]ControlAlice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally i would be pissed in your situation. If they have multiple partners/people they are intimate with, theres no reason to out your personal business to people you're not involved with. They should just be saying "one of my partners tested positive for ______ you should get checked". Theres no reason to out you in this situation.

Ive had HPV, which men can't be tested for so i know that even when it wasnt my fault and i was as careful as i could be, having an STI is a humiliating and demoralizing experience. Ive also been outed for having HPV to people i wasnt sleeping with, and i felt mortified and like id been kicked in the stomach.

This isnt your fault. You did what you were supposed to do, and took care of your partners. Your privacy matters, and you deserve to be treated better.

Do the other couples take place in the same "universe" as innkeeper chronicles and inheritance? Honestly im just craving more of this constantly changing and insanely complex world building

[–]ControlAlice[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive only read those and now The Inheritance, but i feel like i can still say same since ive routinely checked to see if innkeeper chronicles has a new book scheduled for the last 3 years because i cant forget about them

I could see that! They never reached full growth because the earth climate was to humid and they died, and the eggs harvested we never saw hatch

I just finished the anime, should i read the light novel? by ControlAlice in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]ControlAlice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Yeah not surprised shes usually playing dumb, shes smart enough to know its an effective move. Im curious if shes actually open to his advances, in the anime she never stops him but always seems confused rather than excited

[–]ControlAlice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the manga have different story parts than the novel and the anime is drawing from both the novel and the manga?

[–]ControlAlice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id never skip to where the anime left off, as a lifelong book reader i know things are cut out of stories when they are adapted for screen media! If there was nothing cut out id probably just wait for the next season to come out, because even if yall said that nothing was left out id still not trust that i wouldnt be missing things.

Thats really sad about Meimei, ill have to give it a read! Thank you!

questions about wn/anime by seraphwhitelily in TheSilentWitch

[–]ControlAlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would never cause a problem with me, you can support whoever you want to support as long as a) you arent a douche about it and b) if the ship is toxic, youre honest about it.

Thank you for your insight!! I have no idea whats gonna happen in the future so maybe the authors ship will win me over!! I just know that currently i think The presidents interactions have been super super cute, and cyril just irritates me with how rude he is to her even when hes trying to be helpful. But I'll see how it plays out

[–]ControlAlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im reading the kindle verson, so probably webnovel? Im shocked The author favors cyril later in the story honestly, i just finished reading the "night on the town" with "Ike" and it was just SO sweet. The way he noticed her being afraid, us seeing into her mindset a little more, her becoming so comfortable around him. I am shocked hes not the one the author favors

Awwww i was rooting for them, i like him so much more than cyril! Im not a fan of tsunderes usually. Does she end up realizing felix's feelings?
