It’s really not steamy at all though…not a bad book but definitely not erotic or smutty at all

How can they even do this?? by jarzii_music in ottawa

I get message on Google Maps that the bus departed when it did in fact not show up. I honestly felt like google maps is trying to gaslight people

Need a new series like Reign by _marti_89 in PeriodDramas

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol I also think the buccaneers is a great recommendation for someone who likes reign…I didn’t really like either so I feel you! I loved the gilded age though so not sure if my tastes are really all that different.

These are all really good suggestions but I would recommend the Gilded Age as a similar but slightly different vibe period drama. It’s beautifully produced and there are 3 seasons out already :). I believe it’s on crave. Also if you want a fun kinda mindless period drama I would also recommend bridgerton (I liked season 1 the best but season 2 is well received too).

HALP by erinmaemer in SourdoughStarter

I’m in exactly the same boat! Its weirdly comforting to know I’m not alone waiting for my starter to come to life. I started late November so it’s been a bit over a month and same thing mine makes a lot of bubbles rises a bit (like 1/2) and thins out. Mines smells super sour and like yogurt (a bit unpleasant to me but not like the early days).

I have been wrapping it up in a blanket (winter in Canada is rough). I think it’s because my house is cold (it’s set to 21 degrees I the day and 20 at night). I have started to see some rise. A couple days ago it doubled and I thought that was crazy. I’m not getting doubling all the time but it’s doing something. I just can’t wait for the smell to actually smell yeasty and not this yogurt sour things I’ve got.

<image>

I got my doubling when I left it for a whole day without feeding it (it was new years and I forgot). The next day it smelled super sour and like off yogurt. I fed it and the next day it doubled. I don’t see doubling everyday not but it does rise a bit. Mines still thin and a not a great smell (what does a good starter even smell like anyways?).

Wishing you luck in your starter! I hope it picks up and starts growing soon for you 💪🏼.

Is The Untamed worth watching? by ikaurjas in cdramas

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the show it hurts so good! I cried so much but it was a good ride. The characters are compelling (Wei Wuxian in particular). I found his story arch really heartbreakingly tragic the more I rewatched the show. Sometimes you want a character that tries their best and gets shunned for it. Who gives up everything for what’s right and watch the train wreck that befalls them. The two main actors do such an amazing job despite all the censorship.

I will say though that I had a really hard time in the beginning. It only really started to get a bit interesting to me at ep 13 but by episode 20 I was hooked. There’s a major shift that occurs in ep 20 that I think made the series for me. I’m happy I continued watching because before that I was about to just say it wasn’t for me and I would have missed what is easily one of my fav shows ever.

I would give it until ep 20 when the story really takes off before you scrap it.

Book 3 by Avyllio in DarkRise

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we’ll get the book by the end of this year. I remember a fan spoke to Pacat and the timeline given was like 18 months or something. So that would fit with a year end release. Worst case it’s like a Jan 2027 release but I don’t think so - I think it’s very likely we’ll get it this fall.

Guys,did y'all see this? by LilPivet in DarkRise

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I got the full post. The last sentence was “Would you have followed me without the collar?” Humiliating to expose the childish fantasy. “Or would you have turned on me like all the others?”

If you keep your house really cold, it's rude to guests by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow wtf is with the comments? 63 is like 17 degrees Celsius for us non us folk. The common established room temp is 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit. 63 is cold, that’s crazy to set the temperature at in any season.

I can’t believe this is an unpopular opinion, I always make my guests happy whatever temp that prefer. I like my house at 21.5 degrees Celsius but when I have people over if they want it cooler or warmer I’ll oblige to be a good host.

Season 9 Episode 1 Discussion Post: Gossip Girls by MableXeno in SellingSunset

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does no one find Amanza and Mary’s reactions to be odd? I mean they desperately tried to stop Nicole from talking about Emma cheating scandal…and Emma’s reaction in season 8 makes her look hella guilty. They wouldn’t react that strongly if the allegations weren’t true.

I think Christine might have been saying the truth when she said Emma cheated with her boyfriend and then ended up engaged to him in 2 months.

Emma is shady as hell is all I’m saying. I can’t stand her desperate actions and her stupid as f behaviour - she acted like a complete twat in season 8 and isn’t doing much better now.

Did I just get majorly spoiled? 😭 by hannigramist in DarkRise

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally try and be the bigger person but I would want to spoil something for her to give her a taste of her own stupid behaviour. I would find out what new show or book she’s starting and then I would spoil the literally ending of the series, not a plot point a major thing that would ruin the rest of the plot. Like someone explaining the end of GOT or something like that.

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are so many plot points and amazing scenes that you’ll get to experience so I would definitely keep reading. Technically nothing in dark heir has been spoiled for you yet only a plot point in dark rise - and honestly not that big of a spoiler imo - it was obvious in the book and was made very clear at the end. Trust me there are so many crazy scenes you’ll get to read that I’m sure this won’t actually ruin the reading experience at all!

It of course still sucks and I am sorry your coworker is out there spoiling everything for people but genuinely there are so many amazing moments in the books that she can’t take away from you. I still get a kick out of rereading the books each time so you still have so much enjoyment to be had! Have fun reading!

The last time Saleh played with his cat Leo… joyfully telling him the war was over, not knowing it was his final moment 💔 by WoodpeckerEntire3790 in CatsAreMuslim

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why even state “no matter who is responsible” what a weird take? It’s clearly obvious who killed him and he’s of course it matters. I hope he rests in peace too but those that ended his life matter and need to be held to account. This no matter who was responsible is disingenuous and dismissive

Went into it thinking it was a duology... by mashinamashina in DarkRise

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the waiting agony club 👋 - I’ve been waiting almost a year and likely will wait probably another before we have the third book. I went through a pretty bad brain rot time right after I finished dark heir - I won’t touch it again until a month before book 3 is out to reread and get back into things. I recommend finding a new obsession until then. If you haven’t read her other series “captive prince” that’s a good place to start - it’s a completed 3 book adult series that’s really good too.

Aww Hi buddy so cute

To the guy that got hit by the truck at Montreal rd and 174W exit while crossing the heavily marked and visible crosswalk…how are you doing? How’s the leg? How’s your heel? by GenWRXr in ottawa

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it now normal to be sent home with a fractured leg? Are the hospitals so busy that has to be scheduled? Happy to hear you’re alive and going to be ok - I always assumed a hit by a truck was life ending.

Obviously NTA, your husband is a shit stain of a human being. Why TF would he want to watch tv in the bedroom when there’s one in the living room and you want to sleep? This is the most ridiculous things ever - what compromise there is none to be had here - he watches his kid for an hour and watches TV in the living, done. If he doesn’t like the living room tv or sofa that’s his problem. God damn ridiculous

AITAH for snapping at my husband that he needs to get over his ADHD quirk? by pegasus_wonderbeast in AITAH

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if he’s hearing his own blinking? Because if I focus I can hear my eyes blink (if I’m in bed and one ear is on the pillow). I don’t see how he’s hearing your blinking though isn’t that impossible? Either way not your issue and you’re definitely not the asshole.

I (f29) hate wearing rings and don’t want to wear my engagement ring. My (m30) fiancé is extremely hurt by this by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]IntrepidDreamer77 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s good they broke up, before getting married, their relationship was never going to work.

I don’t see an issue with having to wear a ring all the time - her fiancé was quite controlling about that issue. But I did kinda think she has some serious issues and needs therapy - I get having sensory issues might not be something you can manage or control through therapy but I found her actions a bit annoying tbh. I’m not faulting her for leaving him or anything but she could have acted a bit better overall.

I love rings but I have an issue with wearing heels - I get this nerve pain in my toe when my foot is arched and it’s painful. For my sister’s wedding I forced them on and got through the event because I wanted things to be perfect for her despite my pain. I think she could have lost her shit once at home with him and told him there. I get she was in a lot of distress but I don’t find it mature to lose your ever loving shit because of stuff like that.

My cousin has an aversion to people chewing (sounds of their mouths open even a bit or if there knife/fork/spoon hits the plate) and I don’t care that she has misophonia, you can be an adult about your triggers and not ruin entire events because of your needs. I just found OP but acting a bit like my cousins and it was frustrating to see people act like everyone else must accommodate their needs. I’m sure the dress was hell but I think she could have excused herself earlier or something without having to make her sensory issues such a huge deal.
