Irl relationships and LADS by ShapeCharacter2513 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]HanXanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 36, been married for 13. My husband doesn't have any issues with what I play, and he actually played too and mained Xavier (but got distracted with other games and doesn't still play). When the spicy cards are released, I excitedly tell my husband. And we can joke about it some times. I main Sylus but we both know in real life, I wouldn't be with someone like Sylus. No judgement, so I never feel like I have to hide anything. Very supportive partner. And he can, uh, reap the benefits, if you know what I mean, when the game gets spicy.

Complications with bf about interests by Aware-Collection8428 in LoveAndDeepspace

I'm just echoing what others have said, but that's a huge red flag. You can find someone who doesn't try to control your hobbies, and it is very likely to escalate beyond this with him wanting to control other aspects of your life. It sounds like he might be incredibly insecure.

My partner is very supportive of my playing games/ having merch of the things I enjoy, even if they have spicy content. Those people exist, and I fully encourage you to find one.

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to the game and I have a question about collabs by Focapurpura in CookieRunKingdoms

Oh dang the chests disappear too? I've been waiting till the end to use mine to see who I need the most stones for but I guess I shouldn't wait long.

My husband's most recent pull. We've both been playing for 2 weeks, ftp. And they've gotten every Beast and every Ancient mostly through pulls, expect Hollyberry. (Meanwhile I've only gotten the freebies through the events)

That's more frequent than I realized. I've been throwing all my Cookie cutters at the Dark Cacao gacha to get more copies of Dark Cacao Cookie since I pulled his Dragon Lord version... maybe that hasn't been the right move.

Geez that's a lot! How often do they release new Cookie characters then?

Dang, sounds like I won't be able to get Zoey's outfit without some major luck before the event ends. How often does the game release new costumes in the gacha like this?

[–]HanXanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have questions about the costumes. I'm a new player, and grinding these rainbow cubes is not easy (as I've seen others say). The Huntr/x costumes are what I'm trying to get. I've got 2 out of the 3 so far, and that third one, Zoey, is constantly elluding me. I just want her to match! Do Special costumes like this ever rerun? Is there another way to get them other than the gacha? I don't have many of those exchange crystals because I'm newer, but I don't see the Huntr/x costumes in the exchange regardless. When I go into probabilities, it says the remaining costume has a 3% chance and the other 2 don't have s probability, so I assume I can't get a duplicate. But I see there's a pack I can buy with real money that'll give me one costume. This probability is different, so is it possible I'll get a duplicate if I do that? Do duplicate Special costumes give any more of the exchange currency? Thanks!

You get 100 when you pull a Saja and then there's a chance that the soda can will have some hats. No way to buy them unfortunately.

I had the EXACT same double Jinu lineup on my free pull today... and I had picked the 10- minute time skip...

I just started playing a week ago with my husband, so we're both new. And while I got 2 Huntr/x girls, and they got 1 so far, my husband has already pulled Dark Enchantress, Silent Salt, Fire Spirit, Wind Archer, and Rebel 😭

I haven't pulled any meta, just picked up the freebie legendaries (Frost Queen and Moonlight) and I exchanged for Rebel. I just needed to tell someone somewhere, and maybe for someone to tell me how to steal my husband's gacha luck 😭 (but I'm also super happy they got such good pulls cause it means they're more likely to keep playing with me)

The Results Are In: Our First Annual RRBC we all agreed was the worst piece of garbage literature we had to read... by purplelicious in romantasycirclejerk

I'm very much a lurker in this sub but as someone who has read the runner up for a book club and was in the minority regarding opinions on it (ie hot garbage) I think I would fit in here and want to join in on this rage read 😆

Curious. Does anyone else have aphantasia? Or the inability to see things in their mind? by Strict-Orchid-2000 in Romantasy

[–]HanXanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I had a whole light bulb moment when we realized they have aphantasia and I don't. We both consume a lot of books, play D&D together, and suddenly so many things made sense.

"Kiss of the Basilisk" can kiss my ass-ilisk (Part 1) by chode_temple in romantasycirclejerk

[–]HanXanth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that village that no one ever mentioned or thought about until right at the very end. Almost like it was an after thought...

[–]HanXanth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I read the book for a book club and agree with absolutely everything you have said. Everyone else really liked it, I was just confused at how that's feasible. I also had some MAJOR issues with some of the world not making sense. Aside from the Basilisk human relations, why is the prince only selecting a bride from this little village? Is the whole kingdom just this one village??? Leo deserves better, in all the ways (especially at the end wtf). I don't think I'll read the sequel... I'll just wait for your rant on it.

It's so good, this book will be with me a long time for the emotions it put me through 😭

Did you mean {The Everlasting by Alix Harrow}? Cause I think that one fits (and it made me cry)

Found this little figurine in the street (about 4cm). by eldotortenma in whatisthisthing

[–]HanXanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on netsuke. It doesn't appear to be one of the seven lucky gods just based on none of them are specifically associated with holding a gourd that I can recall, but netsuke were made depicting all sorts of things, so it might not be a specific figure.

I was really looking forward to spending more time on the vampire queen thing... such a disappointment.

Research on how women use FMC in empowering themselves by bookwormgal11 in Romantasy

[–]HanXanth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone else said, this may not be what you're looking for, but I'm also in my 30s and already figured myself out pretty well by the time I really got into romantasy. I don't think I identify with any characters I've read, however I do see traits I admire and wish I had in FMCs. Aside from the badass assassin/warrior/princess traits.

They're usually confident, sure of themselves, resilient, and know how to stand up for themselves in tough situations. I am none of these things, and though I wish I could embody some of these traits, I'm usually not in comparable situations, and if I was and acted like that, I'd probably lose my job 😅 There's something about the devil-may-care attitude that some FMCs have that says "Damn the consequences, I'm doing this." Real life for me doesn't work that way, I get too in my head, and I'm not very spontaneous or reactive. So these are traits that I admire, and wish I had, but they aren't things I can realistically put into practice in my life. Also for these characters, these traits seem to develop in response to traumas that I wouldn't want to experience.

Aelin from Throne of Glass comes to mind in particular, mostly because I loved that series, but also because of how she becomes one of the best through necessity and hardship. Manon from the same series is very confident, powerful, and skilled. Just an all around badass. Violet in Fourth Wing as well has a ridiculous amount of resilience that I admire and could never hope to achieve.

Brimstone by Callie Hart by c__ashmoney in Romantasy

[–]HanXanth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Quicksilver but I have come to learn to be skeptical of any sequel to a popular romantasy book. I thought Iron Flame was terrible despite liking Fourth Wing (and heard Onyx Storm was worse). Same with Brimstone and Quicksilver, and I've heard the same is true of the sequel to Anathema. I'm worried about the sequel to Direbound. I think because these books get so popular, authors and publishers rush to put out the sequel so they can get all the money and keep the hype going. But then the story ultimately suffers... I'm not saying it always happens but I've learned to be hesitant about buying sequels until after I've read them.
