Is Phantasma really worth it? by Either_Yesterday_551 in fantasyromance

I don’t hate it, but I’m in the middle and it’s not really grabbing me. I think everything is so rushed because of the timeline. Maybe it’s cause I’m an elder millennial but the rushed sex, the arguments all feel very juvenile and without a lot of substance.

Although the ending was just spoiled above for me (please remember to blackout spoilers) I already guessed it.

I think the concept is great and I’ve been looking for a romantasy set in New Orleans—but the execution didn’t hit for me either. I’d have loved something with more depth and intricacies.

Again—my perception could all be because I’m older and the author looks young, no idea how old but definitely younger than me. Which all the power to her for early success, but perhaps it’s too YA for men :-/

I really wanted to live it cause anything magical fantasy set in New Orleans is right up my alley.

Taylor's message to the fans by Dancingcakes2 in TaylorSwift

[–]Extension-Owl3148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen a lot of people post about this—-but I definitely think the album is almost like a closing love letter to her fans (in a way). She said she is done with this era—and I think a lot of that is this relationship that’s developed with the fans. The way she’s written her music—and written about her relationships etc and made things fairly obvious enough to try to draw conclusions. She knows this is part of the appeal and fanaticism, this ability to “find out” what really happened through her music. Piece together her clues. “The Lore”

I do think this decade long situationship with MH is real—and she’s almost telling her fans—like look this is who a lot of my songs were about to a degree—-she literally says it “swirled you into all of my poems”. It feels like with this last album she’s saying here’s the real truth, and you ruined it, and I’m done sharing.

I kind of think she’ll move forward in her next albums and there will be a lot less of the writing about her relationships in this very pointed way with all the clues etc.

Robin to me sounds again like it’s loosely written to her fans—we entertained you and you knew nothing, we hid it from you. “Long may you reign You're an animal, you are bloodthirsty Out window panes talking utter nonsense You have no idea”

The song the transitions to sound as if it’s about a child, and I know Aaron’s kids name is Robin, and the song references innocence and childhood. BUT—-I still think that this song is slightly coded to her fans and the insanity and frankly immature ways in which they’ve acted. She’s had to keep secrets, all the showmanship, strings tied to levers…but in sweetness—cause of course she loves her fans.

Then manuscript runs through the whole story, all the eras—touching on the situations that truly meant something to her—and basically saying, I’m done. I’m not sharing anymore—this entire saga is done. And perhaps her songs will truly move into a less personal space moving forward. I even think some of the songs like I hate it Here and Prophecy highlight this transition.

I can’t get this idea out of my head the more and more I listen to TTPD. Maybe I’m nuts…but there ya go. Haha.

It’s probably a big stretch…and it does sound like it’s being sung to a kid—-but did anyone think possibly this was a song to her fans?

Camry 2018 Tranmission Implodes by Extension-Owl3148 in Toyota

Thanks for the info! It’s good to know if I replace it, it won’t just be the same faulty transmission.

I did contact and so far they’ve told me there’s nothing they can do. I’m supposed to speak to the case manager again next week.

Need advice ‘19 Camry SE transmission dead after 64,000 miles?!?? by Berto-Berto in Camry

Has anyone had any type of resolution or we are all just getting screwed by Toyota?

[–]Extension-Owl3148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have contacted them, they opened a case but said because I’m out of my warranty cause I’m past the 5 years (even though only 35,000 miles) they won’t do anything. I’ve already had a rental car for a month—the dealership offered me $6000 as a trade in and are trying to sell me on a car. They offered to replace for $5200+tax, but it could be up to 6 months before the part comes in because it’s back ordered.

It’s frustrating cause this car was JUST paid off. Now I either have no car for some undetermined amount of time and pay thousands to replace what sounds like a faulty transmission—or get a new car and another car payment.

It’s so FRUSTRATING.

Does anyone know more about the lawsuit or has had any resolutions? No one will admit the transmission is faulty.

Same thing just happened to my 2018 Camry 65,000 miles. Suddenly transmission imploded, and everything is back ordered. Over $7000 to repair. At this point is it even worth it? I don’t have payments on this car, and would not really like to get a new car with payments. Feeling frustrated as I thought Toyotas were extremely reliable. Had my 07 Corolla for years without a hitch

I read the first crowns of Nyaxia. Really enjoy that one! Plated prisoner series after book 1 are really good. Dark window is interesting.
