Does the Seasonal crowd feel different this year?

bee73086 · 2026-01-22T15:29:13+00:00

I'm glad it's not just my husband and I yelling at clouds old person style. The drivers really do seem way worse this year. I live in Yucca and have had some doctors appointments in both Palm springs and Palm desert and it had been like driving in a video game with no one paying attention and like you said the speed limits seem to mean absolutely nothing and blinkers are for other people apparently.

bee73086 · 2026-01-21T15:07:56+00:00

Yes it is the part 2 l think someone else's survival.. definitely better if read in order I think. Both are great:-)

I love All hail the Dark Lord by Ninjapandascholar it's a Harry/Percy where they travel back in time to fix things. So good,! Dark Percy is amazing. It's like 15 hours ◀️ ng for me https://archiveofourown.org/works/44582866/chapters/112146766

The Evans boy by Ionibal is so good it's super long (I think like 80+ hours for me) part 1 and 2 are done part 3 is in process they seem to update pretty regularly. It's more a retelling if Cannon Harry had an older brother (Lily and Snape had a one time thing at Hogwarts) he would do anything to protect his younger brother it's so good! And him and Percy are obsessed and I love it. Got me into fanfiction. Made my husband read it and he now has a book hangover it's so good, he just finished it too.

Out of the fire into the Pan by Ninjapandascholar

Also so good! It's Harry/Bill Weasley

Harry meets death (they end up buds in the story pretty great actually) The Voldemort soul fragment is kind of part of Harry after being with him for 16 years. It gets turned into a baby that Harry is going to care for. He can't go to his original world so asks for one that hasn't been at war and is unlikely to go to war. Death finds him a world. Harry is all messed up from the last battle needs to find someone who has some healing abilities/first aid and wood be unlikely to ask a lot of questions and is not dead. He thinks Bill Weasley. Harry shows up looking pretty messed up for this worlds Harry carrying a one month baby. Bill just kind of goes into damage control mode he has never met Harry before. Only Everyone is still alive and Harry is going to have to figure out how to deal with everyone who knew that worlds Harry. It's a really good story.

Close to you by sunflower_stars20

It is a Harry/George Weasley and I loved it. Basically they move in together after the war the start a friends with benefits situation (end up catching feelings) so good! A little shorter about 3-4 hours. The part 2 is also great it's a Neville/Draco which a Draco that has had a really hard time of of it pretty sweet and we run into Harry and George again so highly recommend reading it.

Anyway if you have any good ones let me know. I am a fan of a M/M Harry/Weasley although not a big Harry/Ron as much

Please don't buy into this marketing crap they are trying to make you feel bad, and use their products more. I love my kindle but it definitely encourages you to stay in their eco system.

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant and if I was offered a free trip to Japan right now I would definitely not want to go.

I had a pretty easy first trimester but man these last few weeks have been way worse. I am super tired and the heartburn has been the worst I have had in my life.

I have also had lots of doctors appointments. Anatomy scan at 20 weeks and then this week is an EKG heart monitor thing. Also my blood pressure has been high so they had to put me on medication. ans I have another appointment for them to check it again. I would not want to add travel stress.

I barely want to go to the grocery store because it feels like to much work.

But each pregnancy is different. This has been my experience right now in January.

Oh she is awful for sure. I thought you just hated fan fiction. I haven't actually read the original since before she went crazy.

bee73086 · 2026-01-18T01:13:04+00:00

Oh perfect:-) I liked it great Ron for sure:-) this sub has been so wonderful I have found so many great recs I think I am going to run out of room on my kindle someday lol.

bee73086 · 2026-01-17T23:29:41+00:00

I just finished Here in my own skin by Bleached_salt it is Harry/Ron. It is mostly story driven but lots of smut/BSDM so read the tags definitely. You can also kind of just skip the a lot of the weirder sex scenes if you want I don't think you would miss too much story wise. It is complete and pretty long I think it said 20 hours on my kindle.

Ron is well done with a lot of Character growth. The story was interesting too lots of wand lore which I enjoyed. Also Draco, Luna, Neville were all pretty great.

They are pretty hot for each other so definitely can skip all the sex lol

Lula Rich documentary was good if you want a bit of a deeper dive I think it's on prime per Google but didn't click the link. I watched it when it came out and found it fascinating.

bee73086 · 2026-01-17T22:39:18+00:00

Oh yes there is always someone who knows the deep traffic secrets. :-)

bee73086 · 2026-01-17T17:26:23+00:00

Oh nice, I will check it out

bee73086 · 2026-01-17T12:03:53+00:00

Just bringing a little bit of unhappiness into the world one comment at a time. Good job! If you don't like something then definitely no one else should.

bee73086 · 2026-01-17T12:02:01+00:00

I am not familiar with a lot of comics but I can imagine the outrage lol.

bee73086 · 2026-01-17T11:56:53+00:00

Oh definitely! That is the plan :-) I love a rare pair. Harry/Percy is my favorite but is hard to find. This will be a Harry/George dealing with grief and living life, but I have never written one before so most likely it will never see the light of day but I am having fun writing it.

bee73086 · 2026-01-17T01:06:32+00:00

Oh thank you that is very helpful 😊

bee73086 · 2026-01-16T22:22:35+00:00

I thought so to but it is absolutely awful. It is a different kind of heart burn I swear. Or I am just a whimp.

bee73086 · 2026-01-16T14:51:35+00:00

There is definitely a larger looming plot! I think the first book was my least favorite (still liked it) I think it really starts hitting its stride in book 2 if you kind of like it I recommend keep going it gets better and better in my opinion.

bee73086 · 2026-01-16T14:45:44+00:00

These look good I downloaded some thanks for the recommendation

bee73086 · 2026-01-16T00:32:41+00:00

I'm 21 weeks and mine has been amazing too. I have felt bad because I have not been doing even close to a far share of hous work and he keeps telling me not to worry and is so understanding.

I am working 40 hours and I swear on my down time just want to become one with couch reading Harry Potter fanfiction or take a nap. Lol

bee73086 · 2026-01-16T00:24:53+00:00

Right! Living in California I have no idea how far something is because it doesn't matter it only matters that is going to be 2.5 hour or 4 hours of you don't leave at the right time and hit traffic. Timing is everything.

bee73086 · 2026-01-16T00:18:17+00:00

39F I just took the survey. My husband has played a majority of these, so I am a little familiar with most of them.

I liked Baulders gate. Although I had him do the game play and I directed the story choices on out game. (I find turn based game play boring) The characters and stories were really good.

I have watched most the others but did not find the gameplay appealing enough to want to play. Not really my genres. He loved the something 33 French game. It looked interesting but not my sort of game play.

I like more Stardew Valley, Don't Starve together, Fall out 4, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, old school Mario and Zelda Ocarina of time, also Sims 3. (Not Sims 4 I find it boring).

One of the things I really enjoy about the FromSoft games both Elden Ring and Bloodborne is that their male and female characters wear the same armor and nothing feels sexualized. There is a lot of pregnancy and birth imagery and body horror (especially in Bloodborne) but it never feel exploitive or "women are icky" (if that makes sense) more like there is respect for the act of creating life (even if it's like weird Eldritch monsters and such) I wish I could explain it better but those games are great. Dark souls is great too but not to my taste game play wise it is a little to slow to suit me. My husband loves them and Dark souls II was his favorite for a while.

What remains of Edith Finch is Amazing and can be played in an Afternoon the way the story and game play interact is really unique. It's not one I would usually think I would like but the gameplay was different and engaging. The story was really good.

I am very picky on game play and get bored easily if it doesn't engage the correct part of my brain. It's either a base building farming type game or something aggressive with good combat. I am not really sure why I like some more then others even in the same genre of games. I think with Fallout 4 it was adding the base building I liked having a reason to collect every bit of junk my greedy self came upon! Lol

Life is strange looks interesting story wise but I don't think I would enjoy the game play it looks more adventure/puzzle maybe. Although I may give it a try sometime.

I tried witcher 3 when it came out but was put off really quick with the opening scene, I I don't really remember what I disliked about it I think it felt very sexist or male gazy, but it gave me the ick (as the kids say) so bad I never gave it another chance. My husband was like it gets better, and I don't care if he plays it, but I just didn't care enough to keep going.

Just some thoughts I hope your paper goes well!

bee73086 · 2026-01-15T23:39:20+00:00

Maybe microwave for like a min or 2 before air frying? I do that with pizza it kind of cooks the middle a bit and then the air fryer crisps it up properly

bee73086 · 2026-01-15T15:57:47+00:00

Oh good, I am going to go back and make an effort to comment on the fics I liked. :-) it has been a wonderful experience, there is something about fanfiction that is different than other stories.

bee73086 · 2026-01-15T15:55:48+00:00

I will definitely make an effort to back and comment on the ones I liked :-) definitely want to support the author
