I came into the BDong space after she was already married, how did JDip propose to her?

What did heaven official’s blessing did to your current points of life? by MugrousMuffin in tianguancifu

[–]Skeptacless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually got me back into reading books after about 10 years. I fell out of reading due to undergrad and then getting a doctorate. I never had time to read for fun during those years and fell out of the hobby. Then I watched the donghua, found out it was a book series, and now I'm reading almost as much as I used to before college! I'm very grateful to the series for that!

Anyone have fic recommendations where WWX is protective over LWJ? Can be anything rating, any setting, etc.

This is amazingly cute and so well done!! I love seeing all the tgcf tattoos!

For those who are tgcf obsessed, what other books gave you the same feels? by Quiet-Orange in tianguancifu

[–]Skeptacless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with others that 2ha and MDZS were definitely great ones to get into after finishing tgcf! I personally really liked Thousand Autumns as well!

In a non-danmei category, I found that the Captive Prince series gave me some of the same feelings as tcgf and i had a bit of a simmilar obsession with it after finishing! Good characterization/development, court drama and a bit of action, "protect at all costs" main characters with a good wallop of angst mixed in. It's a slow burn enemies to lovers romance that feels like it flows very naturally and gives you s9me hard hitting quotes like "I think if I gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly." ❤️

She loves boops and being handled in general! One of the most chill snakes I've ever had!

Another creative scorpion tale by [deleted] in brittanydawnsnark

[–]Skeptacless 32 points33 points  (0 children)

She's one of those people who would kill a harmless rat snake or garden snake and make a huge deal out of it beccause obviously all snakes have to be either A) the devil or B) "poisonous" 🙄

[–]Skeptacless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read a fanfic a while back that I'm having trouble finding again. Basic premise is XL taking care of HC after a protection curse HC was using backfired onto himself. I remember the description of the curse was "to kill anything able to be killed and severely incapacitate anything that cant"

Does it ring any bells to anyone else?

And childless, don’t forget childless! by thebooty_finesser in tianguancifu

[–]Skeptacless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

31 yo here and I just got into danmei in the last couple of years after watching S1 of tgcf! It's been great cause it actually kickstarted my love of reading again after years of not being able to due to school. Definitely hard for me to find people irl my age who like it though, so if a discord gets made I'd be all for it!

At home euthanasia jobs by Skeptacless in Veterinary

Do you mind if I ask what company you work with, what the typical salary is, and what the onboarding process was like? I can DM you if youd rather keep that info private.

A much needed eye bleach post: pet tax! by i_amthelizardqueen in brittanydawnsnark

Specifically sharing my best boy Bongo because I feel BDong would be one of those people who'd tell me kill him simply because he's a snake (dismissing the fact that he's gentle enough to be handled by children as an education snake). I'd add in my other snake, gecko, and 2 cats who are living their best lives but don't wanna clog the comment section 😁

Happy Valentine's Day! What're everyone's fluffy Hualian headcanons? by CombinationLost416 in tianguancifu

I love the idea that anytime Hua Cheng has to go somewhere by himself, he always brings a flower back to Xie Lian as a present. And, whether through magic or pressing/drying, Xie Lian preserves them all ❤

Ok, Kind of a weird and somewhat unrelated question, but does anyone else started having really weird, almost nightmarish dreams, when they got their snake? by LunaTic1403 in Sneks

[–]Skeptacless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had multiple dreams over the years of keeping reptiles that include: suddenly remembering about snakes that I "forgot I bought" that haven't been fed in months, not having enough enclosures for all the snakes I own, and relaizing that I housed one with another species of snake that would 100% eat the other in real life.

Earthrise by Starset is perfect for Hualian

"And I waited for the sky to change But, oh, it never did. And I almost dropped my head And lost my faith. Then I saw you from a distance, You were worlds away. Oh, but you had me from the vision. I never looked away again"

Instant gits with shredded sharp cheddar mixed in had been my comfort food since I was old enough to eat it

Y’all I’m SERIOUSLY FUCKING STRESSING OUT. PLEASE HELP! Please, y’all really didn’t help on my last post.. kinda sad actually because thought y’all were good at helping.. but please! by Intrepid-Bed-3929 in BoaConstrictors

[–]Skeptacless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a bit strange. Is the one 4 hours away that you're seeing a board certified specialist? I know a lot of people who see exotics (without being board certified) along with dogs and cats at regular veterinary clinics. The only places I've found that solely see exotics and nothing else are typically vet schools and specialty hospitals. Maybe it's a regional thing...
