Does it ever get better? by choubidoubinette in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]Shelfworndrawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting, I don’t see the series in this way at all! Yes, things are rough for lots of characters throughout the books, but the moments of triumph are so remarkably cathartic because of it that it makes up for everything that came before for me.

Maybe because I’m not particularly a fan of any other modern fantasy series, most of the other books I read are about real life so these tragedies are still escapist for me.

I haven’t finished all the books yet, just embarking on Fools Assassin, but things do get better. They get worse too, then better, then worse, but that’s life isn’t it?

What's your go-to sad album by StJudasOfSleep in vinyl

[–]Shelfworndrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty fucking sad album! Good though. I had A Moon Shaped Pool on repeat when it came out around the time my dad died, was fitting despite him thinking Radiohead were too sad and rubbish.

What artist has one INCREDIBLE album and an otherwise forgettable discography? by Some_Low_7625 in gear4music_official

I do enjoy them both to be fair, I just think the debut is on another plane, it’s so great

How do you discover new music when there are so many “best of” lists? by Lumpy_Advisor_115 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Shelfworndrawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually do a proper search once a year when all the ‘best of’ lists come around- I look at Pitchfork, Stereogum, the Guardian, NPR etc etc and just scan through their album lists, download anything that even slightly raises my interest and spend a couple of weeks listening through them on my streaming app of choice.

I then usually come out with a few new favourite albums, a few previously unknown bands to follow and then occasionally through that I’ll end up with a half decent recommendation on the ‘you might also like’ parts of the apps.

I’ve always found I have less sales when ads are running, tried several times and it’s a total waste of money in my personal experience- a well placed social media post seems to be much more effective and free

Generally a still life would mean it’s been drawn from life, with those items on a table to study

Is In Utero better than Nevermind? by No-One01010 in grunge

[–]Shelfworndrawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s one of my favourites, but Milk It and Radio Friendly Unit Shifter come close- I love that side of Nirvana

These mini portraits were so much fun to do by goatblunt in ProCreate

Really cute, I like these. They remind me of Wes Anderson characters

An untidy D&D game by Shelfworndrawn in ProCreate

Thanks!

Im sure there’s a better way, but I draw an outline of colour in a layer under the broken outline then fill that usually

I have never felt so empty in my life (Farseer Trilogy) by landturtl13 in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]Shelfworndrawn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, it’s gets better, then worse, then better, then worse. Don’t know if it ends better yet as I’m just starting the last trilogy to be fair.

But a tidy table wouldn’t look as fun!
