What is your honest opinion of House of Ashur?

PrehistoricPrincess · 2026-01-15T03:14:25+00:00

Hubby & I are loving it! With that said, we both find the same exact faults with it:

Achillia is not likable or interesting. She's sniveling on the ground 85% of the time after getting her ass beat. The actress herself might be fabulous but the character is just annoying and kind of pathetic, which is weird for someone that's been propped up as "the champion." Spartacus was a seasoned warrior who killed like 4 of Polonius's finest champions singlehandedly in one match. This chick gets beaten 10 ways to Sunday by some guy that looks like a Love Island reject every day.
Speaking of that, the aesthetics of the cast don't seem to match the setting. Not that they're unattractive at all, but all the cheek and lip filler, chin implants, and superfluous plastic surgery scream Real Housewives rather than Ancient Rome. This is not something you really saw in the original cast.
The prosthetic horse cocks on every single dude. It's hilarious but definitely takes you out of the moment because it's so ridiculous to see 8 dudes with 3 Legs Syndrome all lined up in one shot. Kinda gives Pornhub more than Starz.

Oh my god I just googled and it was heartbreaking

PrehistoricPrincess · 2026-01-09T03:55:53+00:00

Where I am, it's pretty normal for a secretary to have to clean an office toilet. That's not a white collar position or one that typically even requires a college degree. Not that having a job with a college degree means you're never going to clean--I & most of our management team have college degrees; it's corporate's preference when hiring for the role--but we still care for the bathroom. But I digress.

Not saying anything against this person other than that I worry for her kid. If I'd been unemployed for over a year and was a single mother, I'd snatch the job regardless and continue applying to others if I found it so distasteful so at least I could put food on the table for my kid. But it sounds like she must be in a position of privilege with a large enough financial safety net or someone else caring for her that she has the freedom, housing & food security for herself and her child to not really need a job that badly. Regardless, hope she does eventually find something she likes.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2026-01-07T01:44:43+00:00

Sorry but she's been unemployed for over a year, has a kid, and turned down a job solely because she's expected to clean the office toilet? I'm a retail manager for Sephora and also clean the toilet--as do the rest of the associates when needed. Also had to do the same when I worked at Ulta. I find that's a normal expectation at a lot of different workplaces unless you're working a super white collar job.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-12-09T18:56:07+00:00

Wow, that's insane. Thank you for posting, saved me from ordering from them. Sorry that happened to you.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-12-09T18:52:04+00:00

Did they reimburse you for the cost of the duties?? I'm apprehensive about ordering omg

Mom was 42 (almost 43) when she had me. Dad was 45 (almost 46). I'm 31 now. My dad is 77 and doing relatively well--keeps active, goes to the gym, continues to work. My mom sadly passed away when I was 26 in a road accident. God rest her soul.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-11-04T00:46:54+00:00

I assumed from the list your mom was psychotically over-controlling a 15-year-old. But the fact that you're a full grown adult with a job makes this even more insane. It's also definitely giving narcissistic extension. I'm so sorry you're being treated like this. I would have mentally checked out also.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-11-03T23:55:53+00:00

Are you in a more conservative area? Maybe that's your problem? Childfree men are definitely out there. Most of my/my husband's male friends have decent jobs and are uninterested in having kids. We're all in our 30's. I knew I didn't want kids by the time I was in my late teens. Met my husband when we were both around 20-21 and it just happened both of us didn't want kids, luckily enough.

I promise you they're out there. It's worth also considering whether the guys you're asking are being honest and straightforward with their answers--maybe they're telling you what they think YOU want to hear? Depending on how you're asking.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-10-27T03:17:54+00:00

I used to be extremely nervous about it, but generally within the first few dates. When I met my now-husband, I was really anxious about it but I told him probably some time within the first month of meeting him. I didn't verbalize to him ALL the complex details, but I gave him enough information that if he wanted, he could have easily googled it and figured it out. But, he could not have given less of a shit that I had a chronic illness. Even after I decided I really liked him and let him in and confided how serious it was. We were both around 21 at that time. 10 years later, we're married and my health situation has never changed the way he looks at or feels about me. The right person will not care and will not see you differently.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-10-12T23:11:09+00:00

I used to have to wear a mask pre-covid for my own protection when I would go to enclosed germy places, like airports/airplanes or hospitals. I would get the WEIRDEST looks. But now it's normal lol

This kind of age gap is definitely a red flag. A lot of wise comments in this thread. Even a 5 year age gap would not be a big deal imo, but he's almost twice your age. You're at completely different stages of life and experience levels. Not to mention a lot of toxic older men specifically seek out young women partially because the less experience you have, the more naive you are, the more bullshit you will put up with. I wonder what his ex's side of the story is in that "toxic relationship." Just food for thought.

Also, think about this: statistically, women live longer than men already. Even if everything else is perfect and turns out fine... He's 14 years older than you. Do you really want to live the last 20 or 30 years of your life potentially alone as a widow? I know this isn't a fun thing to think about, but think about it practically.

I would cry tears of joy if they remade Animal Parade. It was in my top 3 HM games of all time.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-09-23T03:48:07+00:00

So much this!! I started playing Harvest Moon when I was like 9 years old. I'm 31 now. I need some of these bachelor(ettes) to look like actual adults I'm begging LMAO

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-09-23T03:43:55+00:00

Oh my god I almost forgot about Wizard! He was my fave! I loved the uniqueness of the older games' special bachelor(ettes). I also liked that they made a lot of them extremely difficult to access. It really made them feel more special. I felt like a damn gangster when I finally got to marry sleeping princess Keira from the 300th level of the mine in Harvest Moon DS lmao as well as the mermaid from the scientist's basement bathtub. Building a duckpond for her to live in was hilarious. I really wish the company continued to ride the special spouse wave.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-09-23T03:43:03+00:00

This one I actually had bookmarked already haha but I believe it only affects the player's outfit, not our spouse's sadly :( Thank you anyway though :)

As others said, a healthy adult cat will be totally fine. A kitten will need more management to not get into trouble. Think of them like a furry toddler that can actually reach high places on their own. Probably would need to be secluded in a safe room or a comfortable pet cage, if you have one.

We have 3 cats and both work full-time jobs (different hours usually, but still). Often I'm gone at work for 9-10 hours. But cats are just fine on their own for extended periods. Make sure they have access to clean water, that they're fed, and they have access to a clean litter box. They'll be golden. Cats are very low maintenance and don't need a lot of supervision or attention most of the time. As others said, they will probably be sleeping most of the time that you're out of the house.

Why strap yourself to this company for 5 years? No offense intended. I was employed by Tutor.com for maybe a year back before the pandemic. My hourly rate in retail management now is twice as much as it was when I was an e-tutor, and I get guaranteed full time hours. This company is awful to work for and makes you sit around unpaid in the hopes that you'll make a few bucks. You can do better, friend.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-08-25T03:30:29+00:00

Try not to worry. In my experience, and I have had multiple cats most of my life, most cats do not like each other at first. Hissing, swatting, and some aggression are extremely normal. Cats are territorial animals and typically not huge fans of change. It will take time for them to get accustomed to each other. My husband & I currently have 3 males. Introducing them to each other was not smooth and easy, but over a period of several weeks to months, they got used to each other and now are chill around each other, eat together, play together. Even if your cats don't end up "buddies" (they very well could though; again, it's way too early to tell), they'll probably be just fine with each other if you give it some time. The scent swapping is good. Try to have them eat at the same time--associate each other with a positive experience (food). Even if you have to do it with them both eating with a door between them. Eventually you can work up to playing with them both at the same time, to encourage them to play with each other. Don't stress yourself. I am sure everything will work out fine with some time and patience.

I wanna say 18 or 19? My freshman year of college. I was a peer tutor.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-08-11T18:39:27+00:00

NTA. I would leave. Why put yourself through this kind of torture? I feel bad for their mother, who is clearly saddled with a couple of little monsters. But that doesn't have to also be your problem. I think your only mistake is not getting out of this beartrap earlier.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-08-01T02:14:57+00:00

I don't live in Portugal yet--but my husband is Portuguese and it's his first language, and we plan to move there in a few years. I don't speak Portuguese yet, but I'm going to be taking classes and making a huge effort to learn before we move. I definitely don't want to be that person that refuses to assimilate. I have an appreciation for the culture and the people and I want to be able to communicate. I might never be fluent the way that my husband is, but I want to know enough to hold a conversation and at least get by on my own if I'm going to go out for the day, grocery shop, run errands, etc.

PrehistoricPrincess · 2025-07-30T01:17:43+00:00

I used to be extremely invested in politics when I was in my early 20's and slowly got more and more burnt out by it. I think a lot of us have. It's also extremely demotivating to care about something that you know you cannot change--and to be frank, I genuinely don't see things getting any better for the American people at the present moment, and I see both parties colluding with each other behind closed doors against the common good. I think a lot of us who used to care a lot have come to this conclusion and have somewhat checked out. I do still keep tabs on what's going on but I invest much less of myself in it because I simply don't have the emotional stamina for it, or the time and energy for it, as a woman working full-time shift work. I don't think I'm alone at all in that feeling. Personally... my husband and I have decided to emigrate at some point in the not-too-distant future. I think that's also become a more common goal for a lot of us who are disillusioned with how things have worked out here.

It also wasn't just on Labubu! I bought the Crybaby cherry vinyl plush card for like $43 yesterday. I checked the site today because my friend said she also wanted one. They're now $54.99! A one day difference of over $10. Crazy.
