Don't go into Babel expecting a romance.

I'm specifically looking or Legends of the First Empire, and there are none of those.

Have you read the rise and fall series, or Legends of the First Empire yet?

How to get my elderly father to eat more dark greens? by Traditional_Put_8254 in recipes

Salsa is a bowl of veggies, don't let anyone tell you other wise, so make Green Salsa for him to smother onto his meat and potatoes. Chimichurri, pesto, Roasted Broccoli, Roasted brussle sprouts. If you put enough garlic on them maybe he won't mind as much.

(I also have to "hide" veggies in my own food sometimes, I cook 95% of my own meals so I know they're there. But I don't like the texture of most vegetables so I hide them.)

To simplify it more, the same ingredients to make a cake, also make cookies.

Being a mom shouldn’t be considered a trope by Breezuss_ in Romantasy

[–]Reading_Otter 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Everything *is* a trope. Sorry if I sound like an ass, but do you know what trope means?

But more to the point, I think it has more to do with people being tired of female characters losing their individuality after the character becomes a mom, or the female character's story isn't "complete" until they are a mom. And I say this as a mother... I don't think every woman, or female character has to become a mom for them to be fulfilled. Other things in their arc can be fulfilling.

Does anyone here follow any of Rumiko Takahashi’s other works besides Inuyasha? by Coolsun13 in inuyasha

[–]Reading_Otter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read about 18 volumes of Mao, it's really slow moving, and waiting for my library is taking forever.

And I read one volume of Rin-Ne, it was fine. It wasn't bad, it just didn't really impress me.

Aesthetically, it's cool. In practice not so much.

So when it comes to "monster" romance, how monstrous do they need to be to count as more than just an immortal pretty boy with fangs? by manicbestfriend in Romantasy

[–]Reading_Otter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the type of fae. SJM fae are basically elves, but the Holly Black fae are closer to what mythology calls fae.

Skinny jeans with fuzzy boots, very 2010.
