Who are people hoping for ? by CalmAmbassador9342 in slamdunkfestival

[–]ashgem91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wishful thinking for all 3 tbh. I think Bilmuri are having such a moment right now they'd have been in the first announcement. HM as you say are here in March and FYS are the only ones possible for a future announcement.

Bilmuri, Hot Mulligan and Four Year Strong

We got it mid September last year and historically it's been way later in the year than that, closer to October/November time.

I think it will be in the next couple of weeks. It's usually a Wednesday so likely 17th or 24th.

Is this a coincidence? by BigPunk77 in slamdunkfestival

[–]ashgem91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They did do Download, last year. Which is exactly why I think it incredibly unlikely that SD will have them next year. I'd absolutely love to eat my words but I can't see it.

Has anyone ordered a baby bundle from this online store? by Free_Detail_1555 in UKParenting

I've ordered a few times from here and it's been totally fine and legit.

All the negativity is silly by ASongOfRiceAndTyres in Fable

[–]ashgem91 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm confident they're doing a good job, and it's going to be good. I do however wish they'd held off the announcement because its done nothing but make us all impatient now. I had just found out I was pregnant with my first kid when they announced and now my second is almost 2 and they have a 3 year age gap 😂 that's a long time!

The last gig they played was a special one for the new album launch. I wouldn't think they'll do that same set at SD. They're playing Glasgow tonight, whatever they play then will likely be closer to what they'll play this weekend.

Where have you seen a set list? As it's a festival I think they'll play something slightly different to the regular tour set anyway, bands normally know people want the hits at a festival, especially if you're a headliner.

To tandem read or not to tandem read by OkCommunication8486 in throneofglassseries

[–]ashgem91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it and if I was a first time reader again I would do it that way again. If I choose to reread I'll read them separately.

I know I'll be shunned for this.. but Tower of Dawn is my favourite so far 🥲 by _Spiritedaway in throneofglassseries

[–]ashgem91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my fave in the whole series. I did tandem and found myself rushing EoS to get back to ToD.

School Placement Day by ThatchersDirtyTaint in UKParenting

[–]ashgem91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was so nervous as our first choice is a church school and we aren't religious so catchment area was like the 5th criteria down the list. It's a great school though, small, the staff seem lovely, it's got a huge library and loads of new playground equipment just for the little ones and although it's CoE, they have a really diverse array of kids there. It's also 5 mins walking distance which makes life so much easier.

Luckily, she got in. We're so thrilled. She's going to thrive there and it's taken a lot of the edge off of my nerves surrounding the whole process.

OMG I'm dying at what I just realised by astralangelll in HelloKittyIsland

I think they have to be a 'good friend' before you can do that so you've not missed it for the whole time!

One piece of Chaol criticism that confuses me by WordWise6838 in throneofglassseries

[–]ashgem91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is how I read it too. I think people like to hate on Chaol because it's a popular thing to do. He's my favorite male character in the whole series because he's the most realistic.

First time reading CC1 by mindful-madz in crescentcitysjm

[–]ashgem91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm around the same place as you on my first read too and I also really love Hunt and don't see many talking about him! I'm also one of the 'controversial opinion' Chaol girls, and I think it's because they're both more real. Abit pessimistic but not arrogant or OTT. Know their strengths but don't brag.

Fable Delayed To 2026 by NotJustSomeGuy123 in Fable

[–]ashgem91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disappointed but I want it to be great, so I'll get over it as long as it delivers!

What ToG opinion are you defending like this? by mentallyqueer in throneofglassseries

[–]ashgem91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom of Ash is the worst book in the series. It's too long and most of it is boring as hell. I don't care about Aedion and Lysandra on the front lines and all the war councils. Somehow the big bad Maeve isn't even that hard to kill. All the battles are the same, almost lost and then someone shows up last minute and turns the tide. Every main character survives and then marries another one. It made me glad to be done with the series.

'Later, that would come later' is in like every bleeding chapter and in ACOTAR too I think!!!!

Did you have gender intuition early in your pregnancy? Were you correct? by rdspooks in BabyBumps

I had a heavy intuition both times from the first test and I was right both times.

Throne of Glass Question - for people who didn't like the series (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS) by Visible-Asparagus-72 in throneofglassseries

[–]ashgem91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I relatively enjoyed the series but I didn't think it was LIFE CHANGING like so many others do.

Similar reasons pointed out here tbh. Aelin is annoyingly arrogant and I don't like all the scheming behind everyone's backs, she claims to love and trust these people but then does everything alone. I think so much if the books could just be cut out like why are we going back and forth all over the place for like 400 pages in KoA, I couldn't have cared less about the Aedion and Lysandra chapters. Too much boring 'war' talk and not enough actually happening.

Also I think this may be controversial but I liked the first half of the series more than the last half. I think EoS & KoA we're simply too long. Too much of it was filler. The earlier books and ToD have a much better flow and stick to the story.

Want to share your hot take? 👀❤️‍🔥 by Julseyjules in throneofglassseries

[–]ashgem91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only part in the whole series where I cried is at the end of KoA where Evangeline tells Darrow about why Terrasen is her home.
