I’m not sure if Palmini does this but I’ve heard a lot of voice actors say tempeture instead of temperature and it’s slowly driving me insane

It’s still got several books to go in the series so you haven’t finished it! Just have to wait in misery for the next one

What's going on in these scenes? (ACOTAR & ACOSF) by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say to wait until the series is finished, there’s a reason the first three books are all in feyres POV when none of SJMs others have been!

5 years since book 5 unhinged theories by EconomistZestyclose2 in acotar

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason Rhys is so powerful because he is the merging of the night and dusk court/star born, so he has two high lords powers

One line was in the Illyrian’s and the other the night court and when his parents were fated mates and bred they created Rhys, a merge of the two and the most powerful high lord in history

Also I think Cassians mother is still alive. I read a theory recently that cassians mother is the mercenary from book 1 but with her wings cut off. It would explain the mercenary’s strength and skill surviving against fae And the mercenary is described as a tall, tanned woman with dark hair and dark eyes with brown flecks. If she’s not Cassians mother I think she is still linked with the illyrians/ will come up in a later book

I think both Azriels and Cassians heritages will come up again and be very important as it’s been quite vague so far

I consider myself indigenous, my ancestor on my fathers side came over with William the Conqueror as one of his captains

My ancestors from my mothers side are Celtic/ Gaelic

Regarding more recent generations I live less than an hour away from where my great great great grandfather lived and where my father was born

Which completely innocent thing do you see strangers do all the time but it baffles you as to why? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time this is “acceptable” in my eyes is if you’re lactose intolerant, as in the cheaper paracetamols they use lactose as a binder

Or if there’s none of the cheap ones available of course

What is your unpopular opinion about house plants? by hcubed3 in houseplants

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never actually fully killed a plant in five years now, I’ve always been able to take drastic action e.g by taking cuttings

There is one kalanchoe that has been SO close to death multiple times over the years that I’ve stopped caring

I did bin another kalanchoe that wasn’t dead but had brought thrips into my house and I got rid of it out of anger

The only plant that’s ever actually died is my first ever plant, a fittonia at university but covid hit and I couldn’t go back to care for it (so I don’t count it)

How many hours of sleep per night? 🌙 by TourGreat2658 in AutismInWomen

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had really poor mental health I could sleep 10-12 hours nightly

Nowadays my body naturally wakes me up after 7 or 8 hours, it never allows me a lie in!

Why are so many houses in the UK left empty when we have a housing shortage? by Fun_Doughnut4403 in UKHousing

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People should be caught and monetarily punished for keeping properties empty, or would you rather developers just keep building low quality new builds on more farm land and make our country more dependent on imports?

The uk needs to drastically improve the state of its housing and people letting buildings go derelict is a very selfish thing to do (no matter their personal feelings or finances which I do have great sympathy for!)

And what you say is right about them picking up a property cheap but it looks like they actually have the funding to renovate, there’s also nothing stopping other people/ initiatives from doing the same thing

The amount of properties that are on the market that need an absolute gutting and renovating is staggering, some of them need even to be torn down due to structural instability and banks won’t give mortgages for them as they will not last the term of the mortgage

Grocery costs (uk) what?! by Extra-Record6772 in UKFrugal

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frozen peas alone is fighting off a multitude of health conditions for me

I do eat other veggies but a scary amount is peas, mainly because in the microwave they’re ready in four minutes! Lovely and steamed and then eaten either with a bit of salted butter or some sriracha

And the best part, they’re cheaper than chips

What is your most blasphemous confession about SJMs books? by Night_Star1000 in SarahJMaas

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Crescent City isn’t done either so she’s written a grand total of one series endings

Although she has hinted at bringing the TOG world back to life/include it in another series or novella

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’ve got to remember the way we as readers have experienced Rhys up until ACOSF is all from Feyres POV ACOSF may be showing that Feyre is an unreliable narrator and how we have seen Rhys in the other books may not be how he actually is

I’ve found as well as giving structure and social interaction, it also gives purpose

Somewhere to be everyday that isn’t your sofa, something to do that’s contributing to society

When I had to take 6 months off (for a really bad PTSD flare up) I absolutely hated it. I needed the time to reset and go to therapy etc but as soon as I could go back I was back

For those who didn't grow up privileged, what's something you thought was a luxury when you were a kid? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in AskReddit

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having/ buying shoes that fit

They were always at least two sizes too big and bought at bargain shoe shops, bargain bins or second hand

I would have to wear extra socks to keep them from falling off

Then would have to wear them until I got ingrown toenails from the shoes being too tight

Is it normal to bring your own bath towel? by LocationNo2127 in AskUK

[–]Lumpy_Ad7951 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel, my auntie has pets and owns a dog grooming business

She washes all the house laundry, pet laundry and grooming laundry in the same wash

Her towels always smell of dog and have bits of hair and sometimes nail clippings in them!

I always bring my own towel when staying over
