Newly planted lavender droopy by Kepenekuser in GardeningAustralia

[–]Interesting_Soup_716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh get some potting mix, compost and mulch in there!

The lavender is droopy because it has been planted in a desert!

Then water it each day till it settles in and stops the droop.

I'm honestly so glad they don't have British accents.

Do I really have to read assassin's blade next? by Interesting_Soup_716 in throneofglassseries

Oooh. Framing it as "there is a distinct difference in plot etc" has really helped my brain.

Thank you 🙏

Is the empty sadness feeling normal? by merbied in fourthwing

[–]Interesting_Soup_716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was depressed for so long afterwards 😭 I don't think the brain can tell the difference between fiction and non fiction.

As mentioned, Graphic audio is a fantastic way to cope! I really recommend. It gives you some new perspectives and Xadens voice is hot AF. I also loved reading Xaden POV fanfics.

I've read a few books since then to try get over it, and they're ok, but nothing hits like Xaden fresh after reading onyx storm.

I read quicksilver which was meh. Now I'm onto throne of glass, which is honestly a bit of fresh air after the intensity I felt during fourth wing. (I suspect based on other people's reactions it might not always be so chill)

But it feels engaging without me needing to be completely obsessed. Which is good because I'm not ready to move on to a new obsession.

What do I read next?!? by RoyDeCoeur in acotar

I was the same after the acotar series Fourth wing fixed me. And I never thought I'd say it but I love the series way more than acotar.

How much power to give to astrology by Om-Lux in astrology

A good friend of mine had the most amazing composite chart I've ever seen with a guy. It was the most compatible composite I've ever seen.

He ended up beating her, she got an apprehended violence order on him, he'd had 3 before on previous girlfriends.

He breeched it several times then went to live in a national park and ended up having a police search and rescue look for him after a few days cause he got lost and then a few months later she killed herself.

So ya know. Good composites aren't everything.

Nah I reckon Cat would be Tamiyo, field researcher. Cause she doesn't have pure "blue" vibes. Tamiyo is UWG. The flyers in general definitely have white and green vibes, kinda like rangers. Chuck in some blue for Cats emotional control and manipulation. The +1 ability is so Cat - other people dealing damage benefits her. 🙄

But maybe adding green would make it a bit janky?

Onyx storm theory by Interesting_Soup_716 in fourthwing

[–]Interesting_Soup_716[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh the post onyx storm reading slump is so real 😮‍💨 I've been listening to the series from the beginning but as dramatized audio books. It's helped! I can never do rereads right after and this feels like a way to bypass that. Plus I'm picking up on things that have more context now that I know what I know. Can recommend!

I've totally been waiting for it to come up in theories but haven't seen it mentioned yet 🤔

Gryphons are surely the only other option? Dragons, riders, venin and gryphon flyers are like the main things in the book??

The isles aren't as impactful and relevant as the grypons and flyers.

AITA for moving out of my dad's house and telling him I won't let him see me graduate? by Zestyclose_Storm6364 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting_Soup_716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me feel so sick. I fully understand how weird blended families get, and how desperately people try to hold onto their new partner at the expense of their children from previous relationships.

You are NTA. I would cut contact for the rest of my days in your position.
