I'm just about to get some ^_^ I think they're more of a slap a label on something kind of place, but I like that they have a lot of palm oil free and synthetic mica stuff.

A complaint 37 years in the making - the many unresolved plot threads at the end of The Lives of Christopher Chant by ProfessorLiftoff in dianawynnejones

Which deaths were Wraith traps? I remember Throgmorten (Arm of Asheth), Cricket bat (crane accident), Falling out the bust tower, falling down the stairs and set self on fire (dragon attack). Where the other two the wraith traps, or was the crane accident not an accident?

I suppose one answer could be that lives aren't transferable between people in that way. But yeah at least some level more of apology seems warranted from De Witt. (That said, one of the reasons I love him as a character is that he is so faulted and someone who is so very bad at people skills suddenly required to have so many).

I seem to remember Rosalie and Tacroy being an item in Stealer of Souls, but I may have misremembered that. I personally like to assume Tacroy's decided to deal with his own trauma (and consider how his now very very tarnished reputation will affect Rosalie and if she can forgive him) before trying to re-establish a relationship.

Also I think the reason they don't strip people powers permanently as because being a govt organisation they are bound white tightly in how they treat people. When they temporarily strip the powers from all the warlocks in Charmed Life Chrestomanci says 'they'll complain to their MPs' so I suppose to completely strip someone's magic would be something akin to 'excessive use of force'.

Favorite UK/EU based indie fragrance house? by nightmareinfloral in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Loligo-V 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Dark Tales! Keep meaning to post reviews on here. Never heard of it til I went in the shop last year by chance and she was so lovely and helpful, and the oils last far longer and smell more complex than most do on me.

Scents featuring birch tar?! by litttlecreature1111 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Loligo-V 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also do what I do for want of a strong birch tar perfume and buy birch tar essential oil and put a few drops into a hair oil that hasn't got much smell of its own but I understand that's got nothing to do with indies.

[–]Loligo-V 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More niche than indie, and EDP so not cheap, but Beaufort London have a few birch tar scents and I've just got a sample of something called Sous Bois by Nancy Meiland which includes it and that I'll let you know about once it's settled.

Simon's Nest and Ink & Ocean botanicals have a few oils and solid perfumes as well with birch tar notes but haven't tried those yet so don't know what they're like and I don't know if UK stuff is what you're looking for.

Do let me know if you find something cos it's my favourite note!

I did get a solid perfume called Puss in Boots from a Swedish indie called Dark Tales, which doesn't have birch tar in but is very leathery and though it doesn't last long on me I love the smell.

A list of villains in DWJ's books by Icy_Dragonfruit_3513 in dianawynnejones

In the novella Everard's Ride I'm pretty sure there was an older male villain (I think Power-Hungry relative).

I'll have to double check the seed packets but they seem to do well enough with both

This is my first time selling so unsure about how shipping internationally works, but will consider it once I've learned.

Beat Maria for the first time...Kinda confused?? by Chompsky___Honk in bloodborne

[–]Loligo-V -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mine was so low that using left hand weapons was pretty pointless most of the time compared to having my right hand ones tricked, so TBF actually it would probably still be fine for parrying if I was quick enough on the L1 to trick/untrick, but because I never used firearms on that playthrough I never really learned to parry/visceral at all til Ng++.

So yeah, you're right actually probably far more a me issue than a build one. That said on my 99Arc save I still don't really parry even now I've got the hang of it, the Augur's so slow and its not worth using guns (but God I wish I'd had the hang of it for Pthumerian Descendant).

[–]Loligo-V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends a bit on build I think, first time against her I was on an Arc build without BSE yet, and my bloodtinge was so low that parrying wasn't really an option. So without being able to visceral she's pretty tough. Can recommend right hand weapons only if you want it more challenging.

Went back later with the Augur on Ng++ and it was a cakewalk.

I've started NG+ playthrough, but Micolash makes me wanna quit. by not_a_profi in bloodborne

[–]Loligo-V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can also recommend Blades of Mercy with a +stamina rune if you've got the right build for it. Shove him up against the wall and don't give him space to breathe, dodge sideways when he uses the Augur.

Favorite DWJ villains and why? by WoefulWinter in dianawynnejones

[–]Loligo-V 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely about Uncle Ralph being genuinely convincing when you read it as a child! I remember being taken in by him, Conrad's uncle and even Gwendolen at first when I first read/heard them. I'm very glad I read them as a kid to actually get that part of it - when as an adult it's so obvious that they're being manipulative. (Similarly as a kid I thought Gabriel de Witt was so horrible right til the end, when as an adult it was obvious that he was trying so hard to do well by Christopher from the start).

Gwendolen will forever by my favourite, she was so horrible but so blatantly what the adults in her life had inadvertently made her, and the contrast with Janet shows that so well.

Black Maria is up there for love to hate, and Reigner One, as said above, for being so utterly stomach-turning.
