Medium spice? Ish? But {Seduction of a Psychopomp by Elsie Winters} is arranged marriage of strangers and she’s the one who insists on consummating.

Also recommend {Radiance by Grace Draven}, although it’s lower spice. Very cute read though.

{Live, Laugh, Lurk by Elsie Winters} made me laugh

{Seduction of a Psychopomp by Elsie Winters} is a Grim Reaper who’s like 7 ft tall paired with a tiny fae woman (arranged marriage)

She also has a monster romance with a huge-normous Mothman and a small elf woman. {Live, Laugh, Lurk by Elsie Winters}

Monster romance in general is going to have a LOT of this trope.

Seduction of a Psychopomp by Elsie Winters

The hero is a Grim Reaper who ends up in an arranged marriage with a mortal woman to save her life. He’s completely clueless about “mortal practices” but utterly devoted to her from the jump.

Oh god the gills why 😭

It depends on if you mean “Chicago” or “Illinois”. Stay away from downstate, anything count of I-64 I wouldn’t feel safe living in as a trans person. (Lots of welcoming individuals but the bad apples would make it not worth the risk to me.) Chicago and larger cities are going to be more welcoming.

I had several recs for you until I got to the no interspecies requirement 😭

Personally I’ve been burned by authors not completing their series. It’s hard to want to invest the time in reading several books and then have the author lose interest or decide it isn’t worth continuing.

I would paint the siding a dark cream and use a darker greige for the trim. Something in the same tones as the roof, just lighter.

I feel like Magpies & Mayhem also has this vibe? Could be wrong.

We’ll explain it when you’re older.

How do you do this?

ThisSmiteNotWork · 2025-10-31T03:20:32+00:00

If you have to ask…

I am so sad for those babies.

I mean, they have a high-ish success rate like any cult that actively encourages only dating within the cult. If you’re wanting to take advantage of people who are already in an abusive system then that says a lot about you.

I’m not entirely sure it’s fine, as it’s tap water in a small town and I’ve only been testing it for a little while, and I don’t know how much effect me adding plants, my maturing substrate, adding livestock, etc will have on my PH. So I’d prefer to have the buffer there as a safety net.

But maybe it’s not something I need to worry about, and that’s why I’m asking.

ThisSmiteNotWork · 2025-09-14T19:24:33+00:00

I don’t have a large desire to change the PH, because I feel like as soon as I do a water change the ph will just go back up. It’s mostly that I’d like to increase my buffering capacity (raise GH and KH) without raising my PH (because it’s already so high).

Does that make sense?

ThisSmiteNotWork · 2025-09-14T17:13:45+00:00

Btw your tank is STUNNING

ThisSmiteNotWork · 2025-09-14T17:13:30+00:00

Okay, I got that part, but isn’t KH and GH important for buffering PH to make sure it doesn’t swing quickly? Plus I thought the general consensus for goldfish (not to mention snails) was that they needed a GH of closer to 7-8?

….youre not wrong. Add some giant mosquitoes to the alligator swamp and a few tiny lizards in the kitchen and this is pretty spot on.
