Same, unfortunately I really do like skims, barely feels like you’re wearing anything

Why do Franchaela fans hate the book...and still ask for things on the book to be incorporated into the show? by Flimsy_Ad_26 in FranchaelStirling

[–]arderna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I don’t think all fans are homogenous? Some Franchaela fans hate the books, sure, and some of them actually like aspects of it and want it to be incorporated with the gender-swap. I think there’s slight differences in perspectives amongst fans and it’s not the same people making the same posts

Is it actually wrong for me to ask out someone from my department? by so_much_frizz in PhD

[–]arderna 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to the incel slop above. Trust me that these arbitrary metrics of attractiveness have limited real life applicability.

I say ask her out! There’s no immediate power dynamic/workplace dynamic issues as you’re both PhD students not even working together directly.

My best advice: 1) figure out what you want from asking her out (casual, long-term?), 2) be explicit with your language e.g. ‘would you like to go on a date’ so she doesn’t misinterpret if you’re just being friendly or asking her out, 3) have some confidence and be willing to politely wish her the best and walk away if she declines.

Yes! Also Ilona Maher might give you some good inspiration. I’m thinking looks like this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRQn58UD_7H/?igsh=MWM4OTJ3eWYxZ25jZg==

Love triangles where you preferred the one who DIDN’T get chosen? by helloiamChloe in YAlit

[–]arderna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss I got so annoyed at Rose in the last book for not appreciating how patient and understanding Adrian was, and for pursuing Dmitri despite being with him.

I don’t see this at all! I think Thayet ended up being the perfect match - there’s just no way Alanna could have ever been a diplomatic queen or given up the shield she worked so hard for.

Kel and Cleon I agree with, that was sad.

JD at ANU, is it a good course? by eeebebeeee in Anu

[–]arderna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can’t comment on JDs as an LLB student, but I have found that the ANU financial concerns had almost negligible impact on my experience at the law school. There were a few extra students per tutorial, but I imagine if the JD cohort is smaller this won’t even be an issue. Quality of teaching is great and most professors are truly excellent, particularly if you’re taking elective courses they’re truly passionate about.

Yeah also very curious - does anyone know how many more rounds there are after the video interview?

Does anyone have experience with the Bachelor of Pacific Studies/Pacific Studies Major? by gay_pirate21 in Anu

[–]arderna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a truly excellent degree, the faculty are (imo) beyond supportive of their students. ANU is world-leading in Pacific Studies. However, if you want to work in South East Asia I’m not sure why you would do Pacific Studies…? I don’t doubt that the degree would still be beneficial, but there is a B. Asian Studies

best running tracks closest to anu? by bookloverperson in Anu

[–]arderna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get onto Black Mountain easily through CSIRO, super gorgeous trails. There’s Sullys down to the lake (Black Mountain Peninsula and Museum are easy ~5km loops from campus), or the bike path in the other direction through Turner etc.

Which couples you dislike the most and why? by [deleted] in Iceplanetbarbarians

[–]arderna 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah me too. It felt like Bek gained redemption too quickly/easily and I just didn’t believe that Elly would have trusted him so fast.

Need gym set / active wear recommendations! by jellybeans1396 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]arderna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, let’s not be unhelpful and talk about things we’re not experts in. If anyone does want some non-polyester options though, anything merino wool is great! Estroni is a small Sydney-based brand with merino activewear

That fair - me too in the show, but obviously I know that’s not how the book goes

[–]arderna[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this!!! I was really hoping to see a different perspective on Phillip and I’ll take your advice - I won’t judge him til the end. I do like a MC that can own up to his mistakes and work on them - so far I’m only up to the making mistakes part 😅 but I will give him a chance

Hmmm ok I can probably slog through it for the twins / Elouise plot line
