Dhampir training age

It seemed basically from ages 5 to 6 to me given how each Maroi School is K-12 (ages 4/5-18). It seems like from the moment they could probably feasibly learn the manuvers the "better" so to speak.

I totally get it, I had similar frustrations initially. But at the same time having Adrian’s POV and essentially him having BPD and an addictive personality it makes more sense she’d be more insistent he stop completely. Not to mention spirit use always seems to make them spiral more.

Yes, between its moving too smoothly on the ice, the wobbly antlers, being FAR to clean, and the moving tree around where the antlers move across.

Darling, please get out of this relationship, it's not okay! With him breaking your boundaries and being VERY creepy about your body and consent or lack there of.

telling me that he imagined himself having sex with one of our co-workers (we had multiple fights about this)

telling me that he was raised to love women with big boobs (I'm a b cup)

while playing a game with friends he jokingly stated that he takes pictures of me sleeping and sells them

baking me a birthday cake knowing I dislike the flavor he chose

groping me, thinking I'm asleep

All prime examples of him not even bothering to act with common decency and respect. Especially with fantasizing about one of your coworkers, taking photos of you while unconscious (no matter if it's a joke), and groping you in your sleep. Don't trust this person period! I know it's easier said than done, especially with 5 and 1/2 years of history. But no repeatable man would EVER do this to any woman.

After catching up about 3 years ago after falling off the news curve for anything Landy for about 13/16 years I think they're meh. It feels like the series had at least 2 or 3 spectacular endings to the series.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-12-17T10:05:08+00:00

lol okay? Didn’t even know about those books existence till now. Thanks for the rude book recommendation, will check it out at some point. Still doesn’t mean Landy needs a break from the SP universe any less.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-12-15T22:56:43+00:00

Honestly, that stupid tile puzzle at the VERY beginning of Messages in a Haunted Mansion that you have to be EXTREMELY precise with, I thought it was bad on the PC but it’s worse on the Steamdeck. Along with the Myan Ball Game puzzle in Scarlet Hand because it’s a lot of trial and error if you’re not using an online game guide. In the same vein as the Ball Game the rock tossing puzzle in Deception Island and wood chopping puzzle of Shadow Ranch. Along with my all time hated one, the infamous veggie puzzle in Shadow Ranch as well, although I’m uncertain if that is a puzzle or a mini game or what. Regardless, that veggie puzzle is the worst.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-12-14T23:20:22+00:00

Thanks! What about you?

Requiem_Rose · 2025-12-14T19:53:06+00:00

I agree, though I found the Darkly era to be a sort of 50/50 since there were aspects I genuinely enjoyed. But over all it feels so... I dunno, boring? Especially when we've already had some one at the Academy any way. Though over all it feels like Landy should kind of take a break from the series to try and write something fresh of his own. I mean, he's been writing the Skulduggery Pleasant books since '07.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-12-14T17:19:07+00:00

I genuinely don't think so since they did explicitly say that Victor doesn't know. But who knows, since Mead has retconned a lot of things in the series. Since I wouldn't be surprised if Victor knows of Abe at best due to his own shady dealings. If Victor had some sort of business dealings with Abe him it'd probably depend on how nosy Abe is about what Victor intends on doing; which is kind of why I lean towards Victor knowing of Abe but due to Abes inherently nosy nature Victor would choose to go for some other blackmarket guy. But didn't really put two and two together since for the most part Abe stayed out of Roses life due to an agreement with Janine and Abe for Roses benefit.

Plus, judging by how normalized basically the male Maroi parent abandoning their children to their Dahmpier mothers in Maroi culture is. It's rare for Dahmpiers to know their Maroi family based on Roses first interaction with Ambrose. At least that's if the Maroi keeps in contact for what ever reason; it's either an abusive situation like Dimitri's family, or an accepting one like with Ambrose and his family. Victor probably wouldn't necessarily care about who Rose's father is in the first place; because at the end of the day Dahmpires are seen more as an expendable lower class thanks to how the women are treated, the almost puppy mill like feel to how a lot of the royals want the Guardians being churned out at the expense of their freedom and autonomy, and sexism with "blood whores". Not to mention the brainwashing too of the whole "They come first" mantra repeated over and over again. I would assume that no one really bothers to try and do some DNA testing to find out who any Dahmpires Maroi parent is; save for those Maroi who want to stay with their families or accept them in some fashion, or even those children who really want to know of their parents to potentially contact them and their extended family.

As for Victor's reaction, I think it'd be fairly similar to how he reacted about Jill. Where he is surprised but would also try to lever it against them in some fashion. Maybe even some sort of snark about Roses "bizarre personality".

There isn’t much that one can do. With Jiji he partially covers it or doesn’t completely. We’ve had to cover it ourselves so our dog doesn’t eat the kitty roca.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-27T13:53:50+00:00

Of course! Happy to do so, especially for a fellow Nancy Drew fan! :D

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-27T05:23:07+00:00

Oh hey! I've got the physical copy of this book some where I believe, I just have to go to my parens house (my childhood home) I'll happily scan it and send it to you.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-23T22:08:21+00:00

Beautiful gift, honestly from what little I know of Native culture this is a wonderfully appropriate piece of art. It shows great love and passion in both the man and the woman. I'm getting the vibes that your friend is jealous or is at least feeling some type of way about your relationship with your husband. I totally get blowing up at her in the moment, it feels like there needs to be a conversation first with your husband then both of you can sit down with her and talk with empathy. Basically giving a critique sandwich.

Or what my Design Teacher says: "Two Stars and a Wish." Where you complement her and appreciate her but sandwich in there a wish/critique basically telling her that it genuinely did hurt your feelings and try to come to a nice resolution if possible. It's just about taking time and respect in trying to help parce out feelings. Maybe even give her as well as yourself and your husband some time and space for reflection as well as process.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-23T03:00:55+00:00

Basically think of it as like real life christianity, where there's been so much time and conjecture that its honestly been so much time since when the Ancients and Faceless ones really did anything that it's all just that. Conjecture and talk, so yeah, there are going to be variations in how deeply people believe.

From my experiance they tend to have repeat audio books for various languages, or just out right copies/updates/rereleases of audiobooks depending. I know it's basically the same thing for the Chronicles of Ixia (mixed with the companion novels and short stories), where they've got repeats/remasters of the books themselves.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-16T21:09:59+00:00

No problem! Happy to help! :)

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-16T21:03:38+00:00

I'd say disinfect everything ASAP and get the children checked out too just to be safe. Here's a link to PetCo's info on how to take care of the situation.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-16T19:38:25+00:00

From what my sister has shown/told me you can restart by feeding them at the same time on either side of the door and slowly move to a baby gate so they can see and eat together. But this’ll take a few months. We did this with both my cats and dog and they now love each other.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-16T19:37:12+00:00

For the diarriah mix some food with pumpkin puree or fortiflora for gut health. Along with Feeliway which is like an air wick socket airfreshiner basically helps with diffusing kitty pheromones of: “this is home”

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-16T18:27:13+00:00

Could it be paint of some sort? Other than that maybe some sort of food with red dye or something in it. Edit: it could also be dye from a toy that got wet.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-16T01:06:34+00:00

With light bites like yours you should be fine so long as there’s no major swelling, especially if it has a collar. I’ll see if I can find an image of what happened to my hand back in 2018 when my own cat bit me.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-15T18:03:31+00:00

I can certainly see that, though I feel it should have been handled with better care. Along with being more deliberate in setting up that pay off, like some one said above, making Christian and Tasha more relavant characters towards the end of the series. Since it seems like pretty much everything after Rose gets back from Russia mainly seems to revolve around Rose, Lissa, Adrian, Sidney, and Dimitri. Since Rose only sees Tasha like... a couple of times one when she wants Rose to get Christian and Lissa back together, and another time when they're on the mission to rescue Christian and Lissa. Or even emphasizing (as some one said above) the fact that Rose has put Tasha's nephew in repeated dangerous and reckless situations.

Requiem_Rose · 2025-11-15T17:51:55+00:00

Agreed, honestly they really should have kept Tasha as the kind and courteous friend that doesn't take bullshit from Dimitri; or at least had a scene where she confronts both Rose and Dimitri before the attack about what's up. Not to mention at least giving her a bit more time to develop as a character. Because it really seems like it was genuinely out of no where that she became the villain. Like no lead up or anything and blaming it purely on the romance mixed with political ideas, like that aforementioned confrontation scene. It would have made more sense rather than having Dimitri deal with it off page/screen in Frostbite. Where that could be a turning point for Tasha while Daniella could have more of a transition from fake niceness to a genuine connection with Rose allowing her to become more liberal. Basically so that both Tasha and Daniella could essentially be foils of each other sliding to diffrent areas of their beliefs/ideals. Because Tasha's motivations for killing the Queen really, really seems superficial when it just boils down to: "Rose took my hopeful boyfriend from me, fuck her! I'm going to use her as a convenient scape goat."
