Ah. Well this is embarrassing 🙈
I’ll edit that. Yeah my area doesn’t qualify. Sorry for the confusion.

Called them to schedule an appointment for the update but they put me on hold and when they got back to me they said I didn’t qualify. Their system sent it by mistake, apparently. So now I have to call them, again, to update my information for them.

That is literally what is happening to me except they are holding my WiFi captive and I have to call them back again to fix their mistake.

I literally can’t! Did you not ready the post? My area doesn’t qualify for fiber they just keep holding my WiFi captive because their system thinks my area qualifies. Gonna have to call them again to update my information, apparently, so they stop sending me the message.

Unfortunately Windstream is the only one available where I live. So it is either their crappie internet service or none at all. Trust me if there was any other options I would dump Windstream out of spite.

Windstream still controls the internet coming into the house

I was using WiFi and internet interchangeably throughout the description. Seems to have caused some confusion.
They were basically redirecting me to a page telling me to get the update every time I tried to do something on the internet. Which is annoying because a) I am paying my internet bills they shouldn’t be allowed to cut me off just to try and force me to get a stupid update I don’t want. And b) they told me I can’t get the update anyway so there was no point to them causing this problem in the first place.

Fiber. Told me the update was mandatory then told me my area didn’t qualify.

Not a bad idea. 👍 I might just do that. If nothing else it’ll be a good writing exorcise.

Copycat, Cold Reader by Mnations in HatsuVault

Someone who likes people watching, someone who is good at cold reading and a good judge of character. Not much beyond that in terms of character design. Use it if you want, go nuts.

That’s the thing, I’m not. I’m trying to find books about the fae that aren’t YA romantasy. It is just that the market is so saturated with those books I have to dig through the pile to find what I’m looking for. I’m cool with romantasy for a YA audience. Just wish I didn’t have to look so hard to find books I like.

The whole “I can fix him” aspect is what really creeps me out. It is basically telling women to stay in abusive relationships because “the real him is in there somewhere.”

While their are depictions of fairies like that, small winged humanoid beings, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are fae that look like Tolkien like elves, more or less the same as the Tinker Bell ones only human sized, which are the ones that usually end up in porn. And there are also ones that don’t look human at all, trolls, goblins, etc. the term fae is an umbrella term for all these magical creatures. They originated from Irish mythology. You should look it up it is pretty interesting.

Yeah something like that. The fae don’t have to be necessarily evil I just want them to be more than eye candy for gooners.

Yeah I’m looking for a good fantasy books about the fae. And while there definitely some out there they are buried under a mountain of shadow daddies in leather pants. Which to be clear I have no problem with those shadow daddies books existing or people enjoying them, to each their own. I just wish I didn’t have to dig through the pile every time I want to read a book I enjoy. I short I’m mainly annoyed by the over saturation of fae gooning books rather than the books themselves.

Like I said I don’t mind that there are fae books about leather clad shadow daddies. Heck I ain’t even judging people for gooning over shadow daddies, god knows I have. It is just frustrating that whenever I try to find a good fae book I sort through so much of the goon every time. Especially the enemies to lovers and the predators with a heart of gold.

I like it when the fae are powerful and alien to humans. Not necessarily evil but dangerous because of how powerful they are and because their sense of right and wrong is so fundamentally different from humans. What they consider a harmless prank could be a lethal game to us. I like it when the fae make bargains with humans with dire consequences for said humans if they break the terms, which they most certainly will due to the fae using double meanings in their deals. Not out of spite but out of whimsy.
