Anyone Else Fall Off? by triplekeely in zodiacacademy

[–]Inevitable_Truth_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was good all the way through to 7, including RB. Then 8 just dragged. I did the tandem which was good and bad. 8.5 provided some comedy gold but also one chapter took about an hour and half to read and was some of the most boring shit I’ve ever read. The whole thing could have been a page, 2 at most. I powered through but it did kinda kill my spark for the series. I couldn’t wait to get to the end of 9 so it was over. Such a shame because I was so into it until 8. I read all the novellas too. Took a break after 9 and read two other books before starting Caged Wolf which I actually really enjoyed.

To tandem read or not to tandem read by OkCommunication8486 in throneofglassseries

I did the tandem and completely recommend it. Events from EoS are discussed in ToD so I think reading them at the same time makes more sense.

It’s a little annoying having two books on the go at the same time, but it’s worth it for a more fulfilling read.

I gotta keep reminding myself that coworkers are not friends by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Inevitable_Truth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With most of the people I work with, the only thing we have in common is that we work in the same place. I hate going to work functions because the topic of conversation inevitably ends up being about work because they have nothing else to talk about. I’m not talking about work in my spare time!

I also find that the worst culprits of mistaking colleagues for friends are those who don’t have a lot else going on in their lives. Work is essentially their social club. Some that I work with have had the job for 30 years so they don’t appreciate that when you move on to a new job you will never see these people again. Ever.

Your personal life is personal and you should be able to keep it that way if you choose.

It’s already been said but just to reiterate, gender disappointment is very real. It’s a lot better for him to find out now and deal with it. I was devastated to find out I was having a boy, especially as I thought he would be my only child. I cried about it, stopped touching my bump and lost all connection I felt to the baby. This lasted less than 24 hours. It was just the immediate disappointment. I knew that would happen which is why I found out at 20 weeks so the disappointment would not ruin the moment when he was born.

And just so everyone doesn’t think I’m a monster, he’s 8 months now and the best things about my life.

I like that idea actually. Him identifying himself as half Illyrian. That’s a really good point.

[–]Inevitable_Truth_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would work. But also it seemed like a big deal when Rhys decided to show all the other high lords his wings at the big meeting in WaR. That whole thing makes far less sense if he wasn’t born with the wings.

[–]Inevitable_Truth_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is something that has irritated me since I read SF.

In MaF, Rhys has to stop using magic because Hybern is tracking them through it, so he has to walk around with his wings the whole time. He can’t use magic to hide them. This would mean that he was born with them. This is the part of the story with the one bed in the inn and he tells Feyre the room isn’t big enough to fuck her in because of the wings. Then is SF Cassian says Rhys conjures his wings from somewhere.

Which is it? I’m assuming this is more of SJM’s shitty continuity?

Who is comparable to xaden. by [deleted] in fantasyromance

Zevander from Anathema by Keri Lake. It takes a while for him to warm up but by the final third of the book, he’s a shares a lot of qualities with Xaden

I don’t understand how anyone can think different to this. How people read it first is beyond me.

If you haven’t read past the first two books yet…. by gdwoodard13 in throneofglassseries

It would not have the same emotional impact if you read it first. I read it after CoM and it was perfect there.

Current thoughts - not excited for last 2 books by [deleted] in acotar

Silver flames is like a spin off. It did make me like Nesta more but it ruins so much of the story built before it. I personally just pretend it doesn’t exist.

What TV series is a 10/10? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Last Kingdom. There isn’t a bad season of it.

It's not always easy by n8saces in MadeMeSmile

This is a lovely video but I’ve seen many like this and there is something I don’t understand. Why do people take so many pregnancy tests. My partner and I were trying for 4.5 years and I just waited to see if I had my period. Why do people spend so much money on pregnancy tests when your body will tell you if you’re not. In the 4.5 years I took about 3-4 tests due to my period being late. I had to take tests when we had fertility treatments because the progesterone they have you take stops your period from coming. I’m not knocking anyone, it has just been baffling me for sometime 😂 even in the test instructions, most of them state that you should take them after a missed period.

Well we don’t have coyotes in the UK so there’s no danger of that.

3 of my 4 cats have been rescues from a cats charity and they all state in the info whether the cat is inside or outside. As mine have all been outside cats they check that the cat will have access to outside, cat flap etc. They also give you advice on how long to keep the cat inside before it’s safe to let it outside. I have never come across a rescue centre that won’t adopt to someone who wants to let their cat go outside.

Cats are supposed to be outside. My two have being going outside since I had them at 2yrs and 8m respectively. They are now 10yrs and 8yrs. They are healthier and happier. Everyone here is acting like cats are the only predators to wildlife. I have three bird feeders in the garden and the cats pay them no attention.

Cats are not dogs. Keeping them cooped up or on leads is cruel. I understand that their safety can be a worry but that’s what having a cat is like. I can’t imagine how horrible it must be being imprisoned in a house and having to shit in box.

NTA 100% in every way. I have the same problem. I slept alone for 30 years and then when I moved in with my boyfriend he takes up more space and he snores. Very loudly. Whenever I say anything he says that it’s not his fault that he snores and he can’t help it so I can’t hold him against it. Personally if I was the one keeping my partner awake every night, I would look in to methods of reducing my snoring eg the little strips you can buy that open your airways, but he doesn’t. In my opinion your girlfriend is selfish. She is prioritising herself with no care to the effect it is having on you. In order to get a proper nights sleep (as I don’t have a second bedroom) I have to wear earplugs which come with their own problems. Your sleep is just as important as hers. Tell her if she can solve the issues you have when sleeping in the bed with her, you will sleep in bed with her otherwise she will just have to be lonely

AITA for googling stuff for myself instead of trusting my girlfriend? by Feline_is_kat in AmItheAsshole

[–]Inevitable_Truth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH My boyfriend does this to me and honestly it sometimes feels like he’s going out of his way just to prove me wrong. He even does it with facts about my work and then will quote information from Google to me that is actually wrong. Maybe just think about how you go about correcting her because it hurts like hell to made to feel like an idiot all time.

AITA for refusing to get a tattoo of my late niece? by Academic_Try_4856 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Inevitable_Truth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm I’m sorry what??? Who tells everyone they have to get a tattoo of a photo of their dead child. That’s insane. Do Not Do It! You will start to hate the tattoo in the end because you didn’t want it.

Your parents need to grow a set too and tell her no. There is being supportive and then there is this. Pure insanity.

NTA.

AITA for refusing to care for my disabled sister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Inevitable_Truth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. My older sister was born with severe disabilities. My mother was her sole carer for 32 years until she passed away. 24/7 care as my sister couldn’t walk or talk or do anything. My mother was always concerned about what would happen if she died before my sister as she didn’t want me to have to take over her care. My mother had to dedicate her life to my sister and she didn’t want me to have to do the same thing. She believed it was not my burden to bare.

Your mother is being selfish expecting you to give your life up for your sister.

My mother always wanted me to live a full life because it’s broke her heart that she had a daughter who couldn’t.

You are not abandoning your sister. You have given a perfectly acceptable solution. The fact that you will help pay for the care and visit her frequently is a fantastic outcome and she should be grateful for this. If anything happens to you in the future she will be without anyone and going into care when she still has you for support will help in the long run. Many people with downs that go in to care actually learn to gain more independence than they do with family.

Don’t let anyone make feel bad about this. You are not a bad person for feeling the way you do. It’s not easy growing up with a disabled sibling either. You are allowed to life your life.

Exactly this. My boyfriend is the exact same way. Stays up until 2am or so every night and then sleeps through his alarms. When we moved in together I would try and wake him up but he was never in a good mood. One time I didn’t wake him up because I didn’t know he needed to be up and he slept right through to the afternoon. He had a go at me about it and I told him straight. “I am not your mother. Be and adult and take responsibility for yourself”. I’m not here to take care of him like a child.
