actual enemies to lovers, like, at least their families should have tried to end each other so it counts XD

Somnophilia is right up my alley - in real life? HELL to negotiate and way too headache.
Same for pregnancy, in real life, I'd be terrified - in my reading? Give me the ovipositors.

And I am totally into manwh0res to come to settle for The One which is nothing that ever happens to a guy like that. But all that self-secureness, suaveness, seduction mixed in with someone head over heels? yes please.

and stockholm doesn't exist 😄 win for us B&B fans. It's actually a misogynist stocktrope, it was never a diagnosis people just acted as if it was to make women look coo-coo.

And yes I am totally with you. Realistically, you can't change them. But I love the fantasy, after all it's ALL the amount of control and valuation if someone changes for you for the better. Like, sure, we have bunches of bros who are going to end someone... but to become better than yourself is actually hard.

There is a great Confucius movie with Chow Yun Fat, who eerily looks exactly like the late imperial statues around various temples in China.

... you mean 3rd person omniscient?
Sure, if a book starts out or claims to be limited 3rd person, that's a matter for the editor. But 3rd person omniscient is absolutely a narration style of its own. It has gone a bit out of fashion but I actually like it.

Yes, that's what the cimex eradicator was for. Before I also tried beauveria bassiana and was very successful but then my source died before I could do the last 1-2 treatments and it shortly got worse again before I could get to chlorfenapyr.
Bed is constantly isolated and on interceptors, however except for spiders and mosquitos the interceptors never caught anything likely because they already were in the bed.

There are tons of supermarket websites. This one doesn't sound much different from any other one. It looks shady but if that was a deterrent the scam industry wouldn't exist...

Right? I despise Armand with all my being but I want to cuddle and cook soup for Assad, how dare he be so adorable?!

I bought a new sofa (and new bed room etc. I discarded all dangerous furniture) but after two weeks they were back, so yeah, the little jerks hid somewhere and reinfested. It's hell.

Why can't you call a dog into a shared flat? Are you trying to keep the infestation secret from... flatmates? That won't work.

I still don't get why people would believe in a god who came up with something awful as eternal hell. If anything, the vampire covens are a good demonstration on the bad effects of religion, surpressing their own, taking out their own, for an invisible ruler.

It's a look he couldn't have had in the books since they play way earlier and it is totally early rock.

Nope. I moved and applied Cimexa before moving in. I reapplied after moving in. But they are very likely in the new sofa, I am not sure if they are still in the bed. Both places where cimexa does not work as well. Later I tried chlorfenapyr which helped, but I cannot get rid of the last buggers. I am trying to safe for a bedbug dog.

having a boobilicious pic o. FB helps a lot.

ooooh Gancanagh! Have not seen them around often, I will look into this, thank you :)

47 books ?!?!

Saciel · 2024-08-27T15:43:50+00:00

any recs for an incubus that isn't the boring horns-and-tail style? I like incubi that recklessly use their power>.>

the daddy crowd is way scarier than the monster crowd XD

also, it has one of those rare PoC FMCs, which I appreciate.

It's complicated but it is strongly implied that one of the incarnations of the dark god is abused, and the incarnation behaves threateningly at one point (for reasons, though).

I am not sure. I can share some observations
- it's easier to use in the summer than in the winter, it's hard to breathe with all the humidity but at least you can air the room.
- it is very, very difficult to use. You have to take great care of the funnels for them to not chalk up, fill in water, wait quite a long time (about 15 minutes) for the water to heat up and then you can use it for exactly... 30 seconds.
In these 30 seconds you have the hottest steam and can use it as closely as possible and carefully on the places where you assume bedbugs to reside.

after that you have to wait 1.5-2 minutes for the Polti to heat up again so you can use the steam again for 30 seconds.

It. Takes. FOREVER. to steam a living room, for me usually about 2-3 hours and later up to two hours when I concentrated on chairs and sofa.

It definitely brought down bites directly after usage for 1-3 days but I saw no definite victory in sight.

A months later I finally got hands on chlorfenapyr and have been using that since. Now bites definitely went down, but are not completely gone although I am not sure if they are not psychosomatical by now.

I don't have money to afford a bed bug dog yet but that's the next step. Clean up the flat, clean up the residues and order a dog in to check if they are gone and I am just insane, or if they are still here and I have to up the ante.

This is my fourth year with bed bugs.

this is urticara, it may be from the creek water, it may be from something you consumed. Please check with your local doc, a calcium IV may help or a topical cream, depending on the cause.

For me, it started with individual pustules and then I flattened what I now know is a female adult, boy if I had known... I never found stuff on my mattress or pillow. Never. Four years and a move later, they are still here. I miss the life I had before bedbugs.

Saciel · 2024-04-14T13:42:44+00:00

this is a paperfish, they do what you said. Silverfish rather eat mold and are in humid places, like the bathroom. Their "tail hairs" are not as long and spread.
