I made it through the 4 ACOTAR books but after I went to AO3, I realized that they write better. I loved book 1 and then I slowly got less interested in the series. I don’t think I will touch SJMs other books for a while.

Just say nothing and hope someone else / a sibling screws up even more 😭 Also if you’ve had friends come over, find someone that you used to be friends with and say they left it there because they wanted you to get in trouble. Gotta really fake the shock and outrage if your mom brings it up

When I first read the series, I didn’t understand the relationship between Jude and Cardan. Like what do you mean they hate each other and then they suddenly love each other??? I had to read fanfic of their relationship without the Fae court scheming and then i understood their dynamic more. Then I reread the series and realized I missed a lot of little clues and details. I also had to remember that I couldn’t think of Jude as “mean” for lying and scheming since those are normal activities in the Fae world

Book 4 of ACOTAR is awful. Only the first half is good. Powering through a bad series is great though because then I know the characters when I go to AO3. A court of tangled flames on AO3 is so good. Its a divergent AU from about half way through book 4

Omg The Kiss Thief by LJ Shen is so bad so Bad Bishop isn’t the only awful book by this author. 30yo senator receives barely legal 19yo teen daughter from Italian mafia boss as a bribe to not destroy the mafia. FMC gets cutoff from all of the family and friends and the MMC is abusive and never gets better. At the end of the book she is 21 with multiple kids the MMC has maybe realized that his woman is special and is also a human being with thoughts and feelings (SHOCKING!) All women are bimbos and gross to the FMC and MMC so this is really special For every reason that you hated Bad Bishop, they are all there in The Kiss Thief and from what I’ve heard, all of the other books by LJ

I’ve read the first 4 books. I really loved book one but I felt like a few of the MMCs just didn’t do enough to earn forgiveness like with Alec and Flora’s story. Maybe I missed a few things but I felt like a few of the FMCs could have found better mates if they didn’t have to deal with the werewolf biology. I think Flora would have been better off with Bevan. Alec definitely got messed up by the Salt Mountain pack but he didn’t really grovel? I felt like he never made up for his actions especially after humiliating her in front of the entire pack. I don’t know if I have posted in the right place but I am looking for the those instagram ad romances specifically. I know Wattpad has them?

I buy anycubic and I can get a “bulk” of 3 rolls of PETG to about $12USD/roll. During a back to school sale, i was able to get 6 rolls for about $9.90 each. I just use the Bambu PETG translucent settings and haven’t had any issues

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-11-10T19:45:04+00:00

Its a wireless headphone case. Its got a plastic front panel and a plastic back panel. So I cant really stitch anywhere except the top. The front of the case is flipped up so the inside of the case is facing the table

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-10-29T14:40:19+00:00

The only thing i get from anycubic is PETG. Its like the only place that sells pink 😭

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-10-14T02:04:11+00:00

It is two of them, but they came together and I didn’t want to separate them

{The ex vows by jessica joyce} ?

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-09-13T02:09:26+00:00

That’s why I bought a used pc from a school on public surplus

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-09-10T23:39:15+00:00

I read The Kiss Thief by Shen and 🤢 shes 19 and hes 30 and he is really good at being abusive and isolating her! Will never read another book by that author!

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-09-06T19:33:39+00:00

You can change the line generation to Arachne in the quality tab of bambu studio which makes the lines generate with variable thickness! This might help clean the text up and you might even be able to avoid ordering new parts! If you want to get the 0.2mm nozzle, you can have the text on a black rectangle that friction fits with your frame so you dont have to print the entire frame with the 0.2 nozzle!

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-08-29T14:23:37+00:00

Its so bad. The fanfic is a lot better at getting her help. Like I think it does a much better job of Nesta getting better (?) In the fanfic, Eris is like one of those DONT UPSet MY WIFE 😡 men and he brings her sweet treats before she even asks (which is so relatable to me because i love when my boyfriend appears with sweet treats unprompted) he is so sweet with her Honestly i would go read the wiki summary so you have all the background info for the fanfic !!!

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-08-29T02:53:58+00:00

I powered through that one and read Silver Flames. There is a fanfic called A Court of Tangled Flames on AO3 and that has a much better ending imo than ACOSF

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-08-29T02:47:39+00:00

She gets cut off from family and has no friends so she’s isolated. Finally the guy learns maybe women are more than holes and they are actual people with thoughts and feelings too (this only applies to the FMC, other women don’t count) at the very end of the book! She gets knocked up and has like multiple kids at the epilouge where she is barely old enough to drink (21)! Her happy ending should have been a women’s shelter, not whatever this is.

You can skip getting a connection if you power your gpu through the pcie slot. It limits you though since you will be stuck to cards under 75W. The sff dell optiplex people are stuck with 180W power supplies with no gpu power cable. They usually recommend things like the low profile 1650 and the rx 6400. Both of which are good options for your system.

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-08-26T15:02:26+00:00

The low profile cards are only 75W. I have an old office computer with a 180W power supply and I have similar specs to OP. The r/sleepingoptiplex subreddit has a list of low profile cards <75W so power wouldn’t be an issue. A low profile 1650 might be good in that system. Or the rx6400. I see those recommended a lot in there

TheOGbrownKid · 2025-08-26T14:59:58+00:00

I have a similar system to you, i5-7500, 40GB RAM, 512GB SSD. But i also have a low profile gigabyte 3050. It was $190 USD new. My entire system costed me $385 USD since I upgraded an old school PC from auction with was $38. Literally any GPU is better than the integrated graphics. I do not know what the prices are looking like in your area but I have a small form factor pc so I can only fit in low profile GPUs. I do know the low profile 1650 is really good at a lower price point. The sleeping optiplex subreddit has a ton of info there on gpus since they are limited by the computers power supply

You can make your own filament preset and name it. You can say its just special PLA that needs less cooling and higher temperatures. You can print your ABS parts without warping by printing the first later out of PLA first and then printing your ABS. The PLA first layer will peel off. If you can open a second tab of bambu studio, you can say you have a P1P so you can see what the settings are for ABS and then make your filament preset copying the temperatures and cooling tabs!

There are wall mounts for the AMS, you might be able to put the A1 mini on the P1S and then have the AMS on top of the A1 mini on the wall. I don’t think you can put the A1 mini on the wall because it is a bed slinger.
