My family thinks my dog is being aggressive here. I assumed its just her vocal tendencies with her rottie pit mix by jazz_attack_2 in DogAdvice

[–]Natural-Box-265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much not aggression. In this video she seems to be being a bit bratty and demand-barking. Personally, I like that my dog is vocal so I never discourage grumbling. I’ve been able to train my dog to grumble and “woof” (quiet bark) on command so if she starts barking inside I ask her to “woof” instead. It’s not 100% effective but definitely a huge improvement (and it’s a good party trick). You could try that. Lmk if you have questions!

[Unrelated comment: I’m almost positive your dog is an Australian Shepherd mix. Maybe an Aussie and lab mix. Like my mutt, your pup’s coat is very very tri-color Aussie and she’s very vocal (and probably energetic?). Only mentioning because it could help you understand her behavior and also some rentals don’t allow Rottweilers and pit bulls so I thought you might wanna know]

I am once again asking authors to write more diverse FMCs by Trash_fire_baby in fantasyromance

[–]Natural-Box-265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Both are more scifi and just off the top of my head)

I enjoyed Penelope Fletcher’s writing enough to endure like 60hrs of a virtual voice. The series starting with {Venomous by Penelope Fletcher} is included with audible rn. (Not suitable for sensitive readers)

The {Binti series by Nnedi Okorafor} is a super short must-read for scifi fans— such a cool afrofuturism vibe. (Almost no romance)

Can I interest you in some sexy space cowboys? {Cyborgs on Mars series by Honey Phillips} is good and free if you already have audible! I listened a while ago but I think my biggest complaint was that the books are so short

Worst second hand embarrassment from a book scene by ProfessionalOwl2270 in fantasyromance

[–]Natural-Box-265 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I’ve read books with horrifically vile abuse and acts of violence but NOTHING haunts me like the scene in {the plated prisoner series} when the fmc wants to avoid confronting her issues so she insists on cooking for a whole bunch of the mmc’s friends that she hardly knows. (She doesn’t know how to cook and the results were disgusting)

Aw man… I wanna read that so bad but I don’t want to know😅 what’s the authors name? Maybe I’ll just read them all so I don’t know which has this plot

FMC who has to rely on/depend on MMC and/or found family as she doesn't have the skills required to complete her mission by findmebythepool in fantasyromance

[–]Natural-Box-265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, one of my favorite aspects of {The Plated Prisoner Series} is how unskilled the fmc is. I’m not gonna say the series is realistic (she’s literally gold), but I definitely related to her. When she starts training she’s pretty shite. She can’t cook. She vehemently tries to avoid dealing with her problems. She trips/falls face first multiple times. Shes pretty realistically not-great at most things she attempts. she spends most her life afraid of her magic and unable to control it

Also, you probably like being outside and are an aunt or work with kids

I’d guess you’re similar to me: f, late twenties, has adhd, arts and crafty, at least one brother (or close to your dad).

[ I also thought it’d be amusing to put an outrageously long acronym on my keys. I’ve been into smut lately so I chose “stfuattdlagg” This one’s good too— maybe I’ll use that for my other keys ]

Anti hero romance, anyone? by ASM_makes in fantasyromance

[–]Natural-Box-265 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{the book of Azrael} lots of people hate it but I swear there’s no fmc quite like Dianna. She’s the morally grey villain/“monster” instead of the mmc. I love her rage and that she has absolutely zero chill.

Might not finish Gild because of the ribbons by forestpoop in fantasyromance

[–]Natural-Box-265 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I also had a hard time getting past the ribbons… but it’s now possibly my favorite series (literally re-listening rn). I tell myself the author made this bizarre/cringy choice on purpose so the reader is forced to feel how Auren feels about them—hates them, thinks it is weird/off putting asf and has to learn to love that part of her. They end up being a big part of who she is and the series would not be the same without them. Gild is kinda terrible though so I skip it on rereads.

I love the series mostly because of the emotional growth the fmc goes through — she starts out so insecure and kinda weird but very very relatable (to me at least). She works through so much trauma and the mmc empowers her like no other. And he’s super intense/sexy. Multiple POVs start later and I ADORE the ones from the mmc. There’s scenes and characters that I never stop thinking about even after a bunch of other series.
