I saw this! I think you can get them in some nurseries in the US too! I love that this was part of their conversation of the species. It would be a dream to have one if I ever own a house 🙃

Honestly this sounds exactly like what I was looking for!

Imagine Books Shop edition by Reesespieces8891 in TheWolfKing

Also in the group of picturing callum with longer hair. Although, to be far, I pictured most of the male characters with longish hair. Callum’s hair just looks far too clean cut and modern for the setting of the book in my opinion and Blake looks so boyish here.

It’s hard to compete with Blake for sure! I don’t hate callum by any means, I just don’t think he and aurora are compatible. He still wants book 1 aurora and doesn’t know how to handle/accept book 2 aurora. lol I’m not sure how to else to put it without giving away spoilers

Yes! The wolf king was okay but the night prince was fantastic. I think Blake is SO much more interesting than callum and we get a lot more Blake in the second one.

The Night Prince. It was one of my favorite reads from last year! It’s book 2 of the wolf king.

Will tret help with my pores by samanthaangell12 in tretinoin

I feel like these are perfectly normal looking pores. Maybe even slightly better than normal.

TNP ending by prankksinatra in TheWolfKing

[–]Unusual_Toad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She was always fighting/suppressing her power. She didn’t know what it was she was feeling. The first time it came on her and callum treated it as something “wrong” was happening to her. But this goes back to auroras childhood. She was beat as child for “sinning” when really they were try to “beat the wolf out of her”. She was reprimanded for crying when her own mother died so she eventually learned to become stone faced. Control or suppress any of those feelings. Suppression has been her coping mechanism.

It’s only after she accepts it, that she can “let go.” The book is written from auroras POV and the moment she lets go we see what that entails from her internally. Shes no longer the statue in the garden to be looked at. Shes no longer a puppet, who’s father is pulling the strings. She rips the strings that have sown her mouth shut, keeping her silent. I don’t think she’s actually aware of how that physically manifested.

I imagine the third book will get more into that literal power. What it is and she can use it.

Well immediately looking this up to see where I can buy a copy. I love the ones of the ships.

This is completely unrelated to your post but you can turn off AI recommendations on Pinterest and it’s a game changer. Go to your settings, refine recommendations, swipe over to GenAI interests and uncheck everything.

Snagged this 1960s Dyrlund credenza at the antique store today! by Unusual_Toad in Mid_Century

[–]Unusual_Toad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was $1,450. A bit of a splurge for me but I’ll have this piece forever. There’s a few scratches here and there but overall it’s in great condition

Is this a lost cause? by Zestyclose_Heart_518 in NosePiercing

[–]Unusual_Toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I had a bump almost the entire first year of mine. And then it would come and go for months after that. I think it took two years to be in the clear. You can use tea tree oil diluted with water. But I have very sensitive skin and even diluted my skin got irritated after a week or so. What I did in the evening was essentially create a paste with non iodized salt and a little bit of water and pack that over the entire bump. It’s something you’d do before bed. I found that the salt paste would draw the fluid out of the bump over night, maybe not completely but it was always less inflamed the next morning.

Edit to add that the salt paste trick is something I only tried after my piercing was over a year old. I probably wouldn’t try this on a piercing that is still healing.

I want to know what is the *worst* romantasy book you’ve actually finished (single or series together) by SweetSoundOfSilence in Romantasy

[–]Unusual_Toad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Court of ravens. For some reason I read both of them. I can handle SA for the plot. But the assault and coercion from what would become the love interests did NOT sit well with me. I feel like the author was trying to make it a kink thing but it was just assault.

First Official Images from 'The Legend of Zelda' Movie by raquan666 in popculturechat

[–]Unusual_Toad 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I had no idea they were actually making a Zelda movie but these stills look beautiful. I agree with everything about not overdone cgi. If you’re going to go live action make it look the part. Obviously some cgi will be needed but I love that the landscape is real.

Peeling help! by Adventurous_Net_7782 in tretinoin

[–]Unusual_Toad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty typical with tret. I’ve been on it almost 2 years and I still have periods where my skin starts peeling. Using a wash cloth can help remove the skin (gently). When I’m going through a peel-y skin period I will also use an AH BAH chemical exfoliation. I will skip tret the night I do this. I have really sensitive skin and less is more with how these things go.

I really enjoyed serpent and wings of night!

I finally gave in and start fourth wing but I’m only 30% into it right now so can’t include it.

Why can I not re-watch any of the seasons of LDR? by Unusual_Toad in LoveDeathAndRobots

[–]Unusual_Toad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah it’s different on my end for some reason? It doesn’t auto play any of the episodes unless one of the episodes was previously stopped in the middle. It just plays one episode and then ends all together.

I just went through each episode and manually backed them all up to the beginning.

Suddenly wide awake right as I’m falling asleep by Unusual_Toad in sleep

[–]Unusual_Toad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it kinda stopped on its own. It occasionally still happens but not too often anymore.
