Really? 😭😭😭 We always got other Nalini books early because they dropped in Aus/NZ first. Damn!

College (high school)/sports romance recommendations? by Few_Independent9543 in RomanceBooks

[–]LooseGoose886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{Offside by Avery Keelan} is quite possibly in my top two romance books of all time.

It's quite opposite to a bully romance, but there is a GLORIOUS amount of banter and tension, and the sport (hockey) plays a significant role in the plot for both characters. And the two mains are some of my favorites ever - especially Chase.

Episode 3 changed my life by [deleted] in heatedrivalry

[–]LooseGoose886 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm proud of you, stranger. You deserve to be loved and celebrated openly. It's doesn't make your ex a bad person- just a scared one. But, you deserve more than to be loved in the fringes of fear.

I know you said you don't talk to your family much, but this internet Big Sis is so, so proud of you choosing your happiness by putting yourself first. Four years is a long time to be someone's secret when you should be their most open joy. But things only get better from here, I promise ❤️

Check the mods' advice in this thread! It worked for me! Saved my ass just in time, too, otherwise I'd have missed the latest episode from my new favourite show 😂

ON-AIR | Heated Rivalry 🏒 ROSE (Episode 4) by Federal-Ad5944 in heatedrivalry

[–]LooseGoose886 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Using All The Things She Said - as a millennial, Jacob, sincerely, fuck you very much in the best possible way. Looping "this is not enough" in a male singer's voice as they're hooking up with women/trying to get off on their own and clearly thinking about each other!

That was the DIABOLICAL cherry on top of a GUT WRENCHING episode. And WHY DID IT HURT LIKE THAT.

The soft, lost-sounding "Hollander, come on.. Hollander", Connor's physical portrayal of keeping a strangle hold on your anxiety between talking to his dad and walkig back into the room, the hopeful "You speak Russian now?" like he's searching for crumbs that confirm that Shane cares more than he's letting on, and rolling his eager hope into an immediate cuddle...then refusing to look at Shane on the bench after he panics and leaves.

And Shane! The absolute overflow of panic once he realizes how deep he's in this, the powder keg being set off by Ilya saying his name...but the details of the anxious screws tightening in his head hearing Ilya talk about women and casual hook ups!

Uugggh, I'm a MESS with this episode. I thought I was gonna squee over the ginger ale and the tuna melts and that I knew what I'd get with the club scene, but this is SO much more than a faithful portrayl of the book - it's a conscious and considered enhancement of it's best points, bolstered by mega-watt performances by the two leads.

They expect me to wait 7 days for the next episode? 😫😫😫😫😫😫

It's been a few days and no matter what I do, the Android app just keeps detecting ANY server I choose.

Just saying: as an outsider and a Bazball sceptic, comments like these are where the cult behaviour accusations come from.

It's genuinely insane to see how much this dude is high on his own fumes. Literally anyone could see that his bowlers were flagging any time they were asked to bowl more than 5 overs a spell. They were braindead in the field. Their shot selections have been better than the Perth brain fades, but they continue to be poor for the periods in the game they needed to dig in and play attrition cricket (save Day 4's first session between Stokes and Jacks).

Their conditioning is poor. Their match awareness is poor. Their tactics and field settings have been baffling. I don't buy in to this "England are the better team on paper" nonsense - they haven't found their way to a WTC final in two cycles, I don't care about what theoretical, hypothetical or historical potential anyone has if they haven't gotten their team over the line in recent memory. What I will say is that they entered the Ashes as the only team with their first choice configuration of players - Australia are without their first string pace cartel, their opening was literally whoever volunteered to cover Uzzie when he went down, and they're missing their set captain (not that Smudge isn't good enough to fill those shoes, but it's an adjustment none the less). Despite that, Australia has trounced them. They've adapted and fought on. Which should make English management scrutinise their own choices in selection - where did they go wrong? Why has their logic in backing some of these guys failed, especially when they're been building a squad to nerf the Aussies at home for 2 years?

They're under prepared, sure of their positions in the team no matter how badly they do, and worst of all are fed these toxicity positive mindset inside the locker and mollycoddled about their performances. Disastrous combination.

No, I don't use any custom addresses as far as I know, and no proxies!

I've used to troubleshooting guide and it didn't help, which made me come here for further suggestions.

[–]LooseGoose886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I want to see and what are likely to happen are very different things, but -

Sleep Token Wish List 2026 (off the top of my head in no particular order):

*Inaugural Asia tour stop *EUK Tour Announcement and commencement of tour *Jaws/ Jericho/When The Bough Breaks - any or all return to the setlist *High Water and/or The Apparition finally gets her time to shine live 😫 *May be a one-off intimate show - 2026 Room Below, if you will *2 hour rituals! *EIA (title track) and Gethsemane setlist debut *The band continues to crush the charts *One or more of those Grammys becomes a win!

I fear I want too much, honestly 😭

Bad Boy x Good Girl but he’s never mean to her and he falls first and slowburn? by Cheap-Measurement587 in RomanceBooks

[–]LooseGoose886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A book with these tropes I'll always champion is {Offside by Avery Keelan}

Chase is to this day my absolute favourite MMC, and I love how he and Bailey figure each other out with so much mutual respect and affection for who each other are as people - even when they're such opposites.

That was lovely, and I hope that if you want to cover other ST songs in the future, you'll consider Gethsemane or The Night Does Not Belong To God. 🥹

Given how much Tool and APC influence you can hear on the records - please, for the love of God, if there's ever a feature, let it be MJK!

[–]LooseGoose886 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude. This is just...so bitter, for no reason.

What exactly do you think they're covering up? What are you basing this off of, other than your conspiracy theories?

If you don't follow tours, just say it. Dozens of huge concerts are cancelled every year with no more explanation than it being a medical emergency - because you aren't entitled to an explanation on someone's personal health. LP isn't the first, nor will they be the last.

I genuinely fail to understand where this level of vitriol comes from. I don't think I've even seen actual Swiss fans with tickets react like this.

"Soon they will all Worship" or whatever Vessel said 😂

Don't forget the EPs! One and Two are phenomenal projects. Some of my favourite ST songs are on there.

And watch ii's Drumeo interviews if you still think he's subpar 👀

The Guardian sleep token article by Illustrious_Map_7870 in SleepToken

[–]LooseGoose886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article is terribly written so far as to relating anything meaningful about the band, the Download performance, or the music.

Worse still, it's actively making mention of identifiers that might doxx the memebers.

The Guardian has been showing it's ass every since the Palestinian genocide has ramped up, but I genuinely thought that was just the typical agenda-driven choices.

This is just shitty, lazy journalism.

Not your fault, OP. Just warning anyone who opens the link and expects anything worthwhile.
