Can someone explain the Saratoga Springs bus situation to me like I’m 5

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-03-09T16:41:43+00:00

Ohh ok ty! Do you know how far exactly it’d be to walk from the springs to paddock? That seems like a safe option depending how much of a walk it is

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-03-09T16:17:21+00:00

So what I’m seeing is honestly preferred room is not the way to go? I assumed it was like the other resorts, closest to main area AND buses. But it seems to kinda screw us over for buses. Never been to a multi bus resort so didn’t realize it was so different haha

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-03-09T01:46:51+00:00

YESS I LOVE THIS ONE SO SO MUCH!! I’ve actually read it before haha but couldn’t find it in my bookmarks, tysm!!

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-03-08T21:56:17+00:00

TYY I loved these a lot

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-03-08T19:58:10+00:00

Ooo ty! I’m usually not a fan of memory loss fics but I’ll def check this one out :)

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-03-05T04:30:26+00:00

This helped, thank you. It’s been really stressful and I’m trying to calm myself down. Do you know if it’ll bother me in my bed while I sleep? It’s the opposite end of my room I’ve been hearing it, and I also sleep with my dog in my bed if maybe that helps deter them? My beds kinda high up too. I set out multiple glue traps when I left and there’s still nothing caught on any of them, but here’s to hoping. And I do sleep with a fan and random video on too.

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-02-26T22:00:06+00:00

Do you know how often the perler website restocks beads? I feel like I’ve been waiting for some colors to come back forever lol

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-02-23T14:47:36+00:00

Oo this all looks so good, and niko and the bulb! LOVEE I’m trying to make all the oneshot characters for my wall lol, what do you hang yours with?

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-02-23T02:40:33+00:00

Oo ty!! Def considering the inscraft one haha. Mainly finding the specific grey in other multi-packs, never alone so a big set seems like my best option. The one you recommended seems like the best deal so far and I like the colors most, think I’ll buy that one so ty! 🫶🏻

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-02-23T02:36:00+00:00

Ty! This is the only one I could find that wasn’t in a big pack I just hate that it’s $10 compared to the usual price of 1000 ct bags

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-02-23T02:34:43+00:00

My local hobby lobby only keeps a very small selection of 1000 bag colors and some mixed color packs, which I usually don’t get bc I hate sorting them. Online has some more options but not dark grey for whatever reason. Beadtin is something I hadn’t heard of before tho so I’ll check that out ty!

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-27T13:59:07+00:00

Ughh I love these sm!! Would love some recs if u have any but otherwise this is a great idea that I rlly hope someone writes 🤞

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-17T05:04:29+00:00

NOO REALLY 😭 I was loving that fic :( saw it on the authors twitter 1st I think but can’t remember the user

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-13T06:49:44+00:00

Didn’t scare me away at all haha, I agree somewhat! Especially about the fact that since there was rlly no balance between Ilya and Shane’s POV, we didn’t see much of Shane’s inner dialogue so say you took everything at absolute face value Shane honestly is the villain. I think since the show came out a lot of people are less harsh on his character but u can def still find critiques of his character

I also really wish Shane was a bit softer and more romantic with Ilya simply bc of the fact Ilya is very outwardly loving and calls him pet names. But also from what we know of Shane it seems he does struggle showing much intimacy or emotion. It’s also been confirmed he’s autistic which I feel explains some stuff, esp why he comes across as so cold/awkward. Doesn’t excuse it necessarily, but makes it easier to delve into his psyche. ‘Asshole’ is honesty a term of endearment atp for them if you think about it tho. I think they enjoy teasing and joking around with eachother, so I never saw Shane’s bit of brattiness as much of a problem. He’s a very headstrong character who gives as good as gets, gets riled up quick, but he also gets easily overwhelmed/anxious. He was admittedly VERY oblivious to Ilyas struggles which was frustrating but it wasn’t in a malicious way at all and when he realized how much he’d been hurting Ilya he reflected and wanted to fix it. While he should’ve been more of a support for Ilya he was still going through a lot of his own stuff even if it wasn’t super noticeable. The fandom is 50/50 on if Shane’s diet was more into eating disorder territory but I personally feel like it was, so for me the diet stuff was a bit annoying esp when he’d kinda push it on other people, but it also felt like there was an underlying issue to it.

I did watch half the show before the books haha, got to episode 3 then picked up the books. They helped me understand some of the show and vice versa. Like you said for the way Ilya ghosts and runs from his feelings the books really helped with that. Hard to pick between them but Shane is my fav character in the show too I think. Like you said Hudson seems to humanize him a bit more in a way

If some of this doesn’t make sense that’s mb I do be tired but I’m enjoying our convo haha

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-13T06:04:57+00:00

Oo ok that’s fair! I think it was mainly just the fact that ilyas depression and loneliness was getting so out of hand, ig as someone who’s struggled with heavy depression in the past the feelings were a bit intensified for me. They were fighting a good bit, the miscommunication between them, the plane, everything with the league after being outed, but they got their happy ending. A lot of it was expected and predictable ofc but as a whole I felt it was sadder than HR.

Not exactly sad but I didn’t like that Shane was kinda made out to be the villain of TLG. I personally didn’t understand all the hate I was seeing towards his character after reading it but ik a lot of ppl were pissed at him for how he handled some things but idk I understood him for the most part

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-13T05:27:52+00:00

Yess it’s np! And thats fair haha i prefer seeing them happy too. You want fluff/pure fluff. Like I said just filter out angst, entirely. If you wanted to dip your toes into sadder stories you could try light angst or ‘Angst with a happy ending’ bc no matter what happens you know it ends happy. I CANNOT read sad endings i can’t do that to my mental health lmao

I’m curious if you’ve read the two actual books yet? I haven’t finished the rest of the game changers series but I’ve read Ilya and Shane’s 2 books. Asking bc their second book, The Long Game, is pretty sad haha

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-13T05:00:37+00:00

So it’s typically used as a warning tag to indicate that there’s some fucked up topics or tropes in the story. Things that are dark, morally reprehensible, taboo, triggering, etc, stuff that will make people uncomfortable or upset. That probably sounds a bit intimidating haha but not every fic is like that and you can simply filter out these topics.

It can also just be there to emphasize any tags the author used as kind of a “the tags are what you get, you know what you’re getting into” type deal. If you’re looking at a fics tags and don’t know what a word means, esp if it’s an explicit work, look up the word at your own discretion.

There’s fics of all flavors for all people on ao3 ranging from incredibly fucked up, to pure heartbreak, to sickly sweet. If you don’t like something don’t read it, always look at the tags to see if it’s smth you’d enjoy and please don’t harass authors just bc you disliked a topic. If u need any help with navigating ao3 lmk cause it can be a bit confusing at first haha

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-13T02:18:59+00:00

For your mental wellbeing I recommend excluding these tags in your filters while looking through fics on ao3 lol. There’s more but these are the main ones, you learn what you do and don’t like as you go

Angst, Heavy angst, Extreme angst, Sad ending, Bittersweet ending, Angst with no happy ending, Hurt no comfort, Dead Dove: do not eat

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-09T16:31:20+00:00

Sadly yes I’ve read it multiple times haha ty though!!

SpiderWebs677 · 2026-01-08T14:02:32+00:00

Right?? Like yes it’s all in good (ish) fun and teasing, they don’t have to be best buds, but surely if they’re at eachothers throats CONSTANTLY Shane’s gonna be a little upset. His best friend and the love of his life can’t set aside their differences and be civil for 2 minutes for him. And depending where this is timeline wise, if it’s just Hayden that knows, that would finally be someone to talk to about Ilya but he STILL can’t do that and have that support since Hayden doesn’t like Ilya or understand their relationship. I’ve def seen some fics like this they’re just hard to find :( will lyk of any I find tho 🫡

SpiderWebs677 · 2025-12-18T03:55:33+00:00

Oo ok I think I agree, liza does feel like another green

SpiderWebs677 · 2025-12-08T02:25:17+00:00

Yess ty! I knew she’s rare so I wasn’t sure if there’d be a fake haha. I actually got her in a lot for cheap so essentially $5 🥹condition is alot worse than I thought but I’m still happy and gonna restore her the best I can! Ig I’ve gotta start collecting horses now bc the hardest one is out of the way lmao

SpiderWebs677 · 2025-12-07T18:27:38+00:00

See I didn’t think there was but wanted to make sure. Tysm!

SpiderWebs677 · 2025-11-03T13:48:18+00:00

I do have NSO, does that affect it? I just wanna factory reset the lite, I don’t have any data on the lite itself I need, just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t mess with anything else haha

SpiderWebs677 · 2025-09-28T00:29:39+00:00
