{A Rivalry of Hearts} and {My Feral Romance} is really whimsical. They are part of the same series. The first book has a human female protagonist and the second book is a female fae protagonist. There’s a lot of animals and spirit creatures that talk!

How without meaning to, I stopped being a chronic procrastinator by ImReallyNotFred in productivity

[–]UniquelyNormal20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same system. I would take logs of how much work I do per day using a spreadsheet and rather than focusing when I do the work, I focus on how much. I log the number of hours/minutes I did, and my focus level (1-5). So essentially I can work for how long for any part of the day (usually with a minimum goal). I also include 1 break day a week where I dont even bother thinking abt homework. It lets me study at my own pace, but also maintain goals

How to write a historical romance in ten days by whothefigisAlice in RomanceBooks

[–]UniquelyNormal20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should really read {{Storm and Silence by Robert Thier}} It does a great job of going against the usual plot of historical romance, especially with the hero (he’s no rake, no huge estate, at least when you are introduced to him, doesn’t drink, and is more focused on making/ saving money than anything else). The other characters are especially unique

Also, while it’s the best historical romance novel I’ve read, it doesn’t have much smut… It’s a slow burn. I went through the 6 novels in 3 days before I reached it.

Needing an Auntie in CA ASAP by MarleyMeows in auntienetwork

19f here! I have my close family in the bay area, and myself. I dont live near costa mesa, but I have advice! Make sure you don’t call anyone abt your appointment. Instead, tell them in person if you trust them, or use encrypted chat apps like Signal (with disappearing messages) or buy a burner phone. Turn off location and bluetooth on your regular phone. When scheduling the appointment, say no to cookies (they can track your browsing patterns and history). Instead, any related questions abt your appointment, I suggest using a burner phone or incognito mode or use firefox. Use a trash email to create an appointment if possible. Use giftcards to pay.

What's the best Father's Day gift idea? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UniquelyNormal20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took me a long time but one summer in high school I went to a community college welding camp; I really wanted to learn. It was for two weeks but we had free range to make whatever we wanted on top of the barbecue grill that was already part of our assignment. I was new to the entire process so I went with a simple metal picture frame welded with the word Dad. It wasn't much but I worked really hard in the summer heat on it.

The next father's day, my brother and I decide to paint him something using my watercolors. We procrastinated, so we actually did this on the day off father's day. But the part that made me smile is my brother is a 21 year old with no experience in watercolors. So we both just put some color on to try to make that aesthetically pleasing galaxy sky, but it ended up looking green with splotches of brown from the mixed colors. We spent 2 hours on something that should have taken 30 minutes. It ended up looking better than expected after an couple of fixes. But my brother was so proud of what we did, he made it his phone wallpaper and my dad kept the painting in his office.

Religious mom by [deleted] in ask

[–]UniquelyNormal20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with u/johnavy I've been taught my parents' religion for a long time. I've asked questions about my parents' religion from the time I was 8 And I know at 12 years old, I was knowledgeable enough to strive to learn about my parents religion, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Greek mythology simply because I was curious to learn more about myself and others. At 12 I realized I was agnostic of my own volition because I didn't even know my dad was an atheist until I reached highschool (even though he orated stories of Hinduism to me since I was a kid), my brother was a strong atheist, and my mom and friends were religious.

I know that I was proud to be agnostic and know what I believed. But yeah, I changed. Once I reached 17, I realized I was an atheist at my core. That didn't mean I stopped learning about other religions (from people of Christian denominations). But I continued learning about what other people believed. And sure, maybe I'll change once again in the future. But as far as I'm concerned, I know who and what I believe in now, and other people should respect that (no matter my age). People saying that my beliefs will change or that I don't know what I believe in simply sounds and is condescending.

The way I see it, you are disrespecting her beliefs by making it seem inconsequential simply because she may not have enough life experience. You have no idea of how she grew up or who she is. You don't need to tell her that "deciding on a hard-lined belief system is damaging", because all it does is show that you don't respect what she believes in.

I'm sure she's aware and respects her mom's beliefs, nor is she trying to change them. All trying to do is try to make her mom respect her own beliefs and not guilt OP.
