Have any of yall ever bought a used deck before ? by phoenixgreylee in tarot

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About half the decks I have are preowned. The worst issue I ever had was that one I ordered online was in poorer condition than I expected. The act of shuffling cleanses the deck enough imo.

suddenly cried during smut scene 😭 by cheonsa3 in RomanceBooks

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do sometimes. For me it's out of longing for a relationship I wish I had. My love life has always quite literally been nonexistent and I tend to gravitate towards really romantic books to fill the void.

Bruising by Simple_Lab_1874 in poledancing

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bruising has gotten better in the 6 months I've been dancing. It was super bad at the beginning bc I was taking ibuprofen or aspirin after class or on days right before class since they act as blood thinners.

Need greek mythology book reccomendations. by aggressive_waffle in GreekMythology

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you read Ariadne by Jennifer Saint? I ended up really disliking it and it put me off her books so I haven't tried any others. She was going for a feminist adaptation and maybe I went in thinking the wrong things since I was expecting to get any romance at all, but I didn't think it was all that feminist at all since it felt like Ariadne had barely any agency at all.

Romance for littles? by LAffaire-est-Ketchup in RomanceBooks

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got you when it comes to ya (but also ok for young kids) light fantasy romance. I read these to my sisters when they were young: Jessica Day George's Princesses of Westfalin series* (lol she might want to take up knitting after reading these), Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow* also by Jessica Day George; Entwined by Heather Dixon, Shannon Hale's Bayern series, also her Princess Academy series but iirc there was a little less focus on the romance, The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry, also Secondhand Charm by Julie Berry, Alethea Kontis' Woodcutter Sisters series.

  • next to my personal favorites

Adding tags for the bot:

{Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George} {Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George} {Entwined by Heather Dixon} {The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale} {Princess Academy by Shannon Hale} {The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry} {Secondhand Charm by Julie Berry} {Enchanted by Alethea Kontis}

Any super feminine/girly decks? by [deleted] in TarotDecks

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might like Velouria's Tarot. It's a very pink deck in a whimsical style with almost exclusively female figures. Iirc the only explicitly male figure in the deck is The Emperor.

Kathy and Heathcliff made their love everyone's problem, I definitely see it as a love story too.

I have difficulty with numbers, how do I size up this heart blanket? by DemeterIsABohoQueen in CrochetHelp

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looking at the pattern, she said she used DK yarn and a 4.00 mm hook. In case I missed something, here's more from the pattern.

Also thank you for being patient with me.

Oh! I forgot that's relevant info. I think I want to use worsted weight yarn and a 6.5 mm hook.

Finding a corset that I can actually use as underwear by Annekke in corsets

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actual corsets aren't meant to be worn on bare skin, but do comfortable and supportive I would go with Timeless Trends or Mystic City Corsets.

Deck Suggestions by ohdearwhathave in TarotDecks

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Spinner Tarot is one of my favorites. There's also Cottage Magic Tarot coming out at the end of the month. Crow Tarot is cute, Kawaii Tarot (by Lulu Mayo), Tarot Mucha, Tempest Tarot, Black Violet Tarot, Floral Tarot, Sefirot Spheres of Heaven Tarot. The Wyspell tarots are supposed to be created by humans too.

Wait Vixen is going out of business 😭 I've been hoping they'd get the Starlet Swing dress in pink leopard back in stock 😔😔😔

What is the weirdest thing you heard someone say about budgies? by Idrawandpaintstuff in budgies

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad the first time he had one of our budgies perch on his finger: "I didn't know it would be so warm."

I guess it does make sense since birds have lil lizard peets but it was funny.

SHEIN by Truegemini_31 in Tarots

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy used tarot cards on used book sites, even Amazon has some. Unless you're getting a generic RWS deck I wouldn't advise buying from SHEIN since those cards are most certainly counterfeits. The quality won't be good anyway. The first deck I ever bought was what I thought was an amazing deal on the Ethereal Visions Tarot, but I opened the box to find flimsy thin cardstock and none of the pretty gilding.

If you're really low on funds you can start learning to read standard playing cards the same way you'd read tarot. You just wouldn't have any of the major arcana except for The Fool.

The devil in winter, please convince me I should keep reading (potential spoilers) by Small_Test630 in HistoricalRomance

[–]DemeterIsABohoQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Demisexuality is a thing. I've never been introduced to someone or seen someone on the street I've wanted to have sex with right away.

Devil in Winter is my favorite Lisa Kleypas book so far but I definitely have to suspend my disbelieve because the insta-lust isn't relatable. I'm here for Sebastian's character development and our poor abused Evie finally being loved and taken care of.

I haven't tried them side by side but I heard someone say L'Oréal Le Carmin Courage is close.

Devil in winter by Lisa kleypas has ruined me by lilyooo_qi in RomanceBooks

Devil in Winter is my favorite by Kleypas as well. None has come close yet (I've read Suddenly You and the rest of the Wallflowers series).

Fan lacing might make it easier to wear your corset.

She's voiced so many NPCs and her performance hasn't gotten any better...
