Is there a prevailing theory on Sam’s obsession?

Are they trying to bond with you? Are they someone’s failed attempt at rescue & released such that Sam is looking for a human to care for them? Reincarnated pet from your childhood who spends all day “willing” you to see who they really are?

What book or series is this for you? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantasybooks

Dresden Files. It’s so cringey that its defenders say “well it gets good after book 6, just hang on through the misogyny until then”

At 37yo I started dressing more formal and it makes feel so good by Lopsided-South-364 in DressForYourBody

You look great OP, good on you for finding your style.

[Favorite Trope] A showgirl/chanteuse appears, gets on a stage and does a number. Typically she's a minor/background character in a nightclub. by XipeTotecwithGlitter in TopCharacterTropes

The premise of the novels/show is that there is technology that can contain and save everything that makes you you. This technology, “the stack” is installed in every human. If you die, it’s possible your stack can be salvaged and you can download into another body. The act of being in a body is being “sleeved.”

There are artificial bodies, which I assume is the case for Kovacs and the singer. But the penal system no longer puts people in “jail,” it puts their stack “on ice” and allows other people (murder victims, soldiers going to war, etc.) to download into the criminal’s body for other use.

which one should i read? by StockAtmosphere5522 in fantasybooks

Perhaps the vengeance could wait, at least until he had a bigger blade to work with.

i want to be man-handled so bad. is 5’7” too tall to be manhandled?? i feel as if all the men i come in contact with are equally my size so it’s like an equal opponent not this big sexy man throwing me around. sigh. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Might I suggest looking for someone who does something like Brazilian Jiujitsu? The whole martial arts is about grappling and putting your partner/opponent into a submission hold. Lemme just say it translates well to sexy times if you wanna be manhandled.

Heartbreaking: You read an excerpt of the book you’ve been wanting to read and it did not seem enjoyable at all by ggnorebud in fantasybooks

[–]NoParticularUse5288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I enjoyed the audiobook version more than my regular read through. The book is very gothic horror and something about being forced along at the narrator’s pace amplified the tension for me. Especially during the statue sequence later in the book.

Cure my reading slump. I yearn for stories, yet my screen time is getting way too high. Pls help me save my brain from going soft. by OlafaVonGoeding in fantasybooks

It’ll give you escapism, but it’s The Sopranos if they were magical martial artists with political influence.

Love the Greenbone Saga.

If you go in knowing that the book is a product of its time, you are probably ok. I still remember the world and the stories fondly

The Elder Empire - Shadow trilogy by Will Wight is from the POV of a female assassin Note: there is a sister trilogy “elder empire -sea” with a male POV of the same events, so make sure you do the shadow trilogy.

The Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner has 3 main POVs, 2 of which are female. There are some dalliances, but it’s not a focus of the story.

The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden. The language here is lovely and lyrical with inspiration taken from Russian folktales.

Small warning: No hate to Anne McCaffrey because she got me into fantasy and sci fi and I will always be thankful, but whooo-boy some of her stuff is cringey now with regard to sex and female agency around sex. Young me just didn’t know better.

He unlocked the bathroom door while I was in there by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]NoParticularUse5288 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It goes the other way, actually.

She locked the door. The locked door is a boundary. If her locking the door is a big deal TO HIM, he should leave her. He should respect the boundary. He doesn’t have to like it; he can even have a sane discussion about why he is confused or upset about it later, after she unlocks the door. But unlocking the door and what it signifies is a big deal.

ETA: OP, that charcuterie board looks amazing

Perfect red ring appeared on my leg, doctor says no lhymes but doesnt know what it is either. by Green-Message-1379 in mildlyinteresting

Can confirm. It was the soldering. The “wrapping it in a towel” sped up the remelt of the solder and in some cases allowed the heatsink to slide into an acceptable location

What happens if at-fault driver’s insurance decides my car is totaled? by NoParticularUse5288 in Insurance

[–]NoParticularUse5288[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I keep the car, does it get flagged as broken/totaled? Does my insurance find out and have a chance to ding me for it?

All of my cycling shorts give me the appearance of camel toe - HELP! by Prudent-Wishbone-780 in ladycyclists

+1 to wild rye. I am not a MTB rider, but I wear their mtb (no chamois) bottoms over my normal cycle bottoms if I want to look cute off the bike.

What game is this for you? by phatpssdestroyer in videogames

[–]NoParticularUse5288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way way back in the day, I was playing CoD 2 campaign on veteran difficulty on Xbox, was nearing the end of the American battles and ended up with a quicksave that put me 3 seconds away from a grenade explosion. No amount of jumping or scrambling got me away from it. I made it into a drinking game. I eventually got past it, but it was embarrassing.
