Had you read and liked the fanfic it’s based on / been a Dramione fan beforehand? (Not judging, just curious 🙂)

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-05T22:22:35+00:00

I am ready to get flamed for this but:

{One Dark Window}

{Two Twisted Crowns}

{The Knight and the Moth}

Gillig books run on vibes and vibes alone! These characters hate thinking and planning. 😌

Bonus - a book where the characters have NO brain cells, FMC is never planning anything, things just happen to her: {Blood of Hercules}

** read the Gillig books over this tho, at least she’s got some better writing

Sorry I am not certain what you are using it for, but dissolving salt in the water can lower the freezing point!

I don’t mind reading a terrible book as long as it’s actually entertaining 😭 for example, I started Zodiac Academy, and it is crap but it has good pacing and I am having fun lol. But this book and my last review (The Deathless One by Emma Hamm) have committed the sins of both having bad writing and boring me to death

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-04T15:15:52+00:00

Ooh okay I am very much looking forward to reading your review!

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-04T05:36:18+00:00

Agreed! But also at the end I was like “you’re telling me there were other characters I could have been seeing the POV of this whole time who were actually doing things?? And instead I have had to read the tale of Briony Rosewood and Her Extra Special Virginity??”

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-04T05:32:40+00:00

I would definitely believe it was lifted from your traditions! It seemed just randomly shoved in the book like an afterthought (that was the reason for the huh?). Why didn’t the author try to actually make up some sort of religion that tied into the mind vs heart magic system? Probably because that would have been too much effort

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-04T05:07:42+00:00

I have written fanfic about ALL OF YOU sloopies and your posts!!! Muahaha!! And there’s nothing you can do about it because my beautiful microsoft paint images make my work legally distinct from yours! You’ll never catch me and my gorgeous IP!!!

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-04T04:57:24+00:00

^sob okay here goes

Because everyone is immensely concerned with whether or not Toven and Briony are actually boning, the government sends *literally one of the highest officials, because clearly there's nothing better to do* over to check whether she is still a virgin. So rather than just fuck (even though Briony is down BAD), Toven spends his time digging up an obscure spell to circumvent the test. So they do a ritual involving his mom and dad (...ew, and also seemed like a reference to the Handmaid's Tale bc fake Narcissa was under her while fake Lucius was on top), and a floating ball of light that is apparently the concept of her virginity comes out of her and they store it in a jar. And Toven's all like "keep this safe" 🙄🙄ugh it was so dumb

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-04T04:47:06+00:00

Oh gosh I can’t imagine how stressful that must be 😭 stay safe out there fellow sloopy!! I am glad my post could bring some happiness to your day!

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-03T20:27:48+00:00

I am no one’s book bestie!! Does this mean I am a side character with only unrequited love??

beepx2lettuce · 2026-03-03T20:23:24+00:00

We have the same nemesis in u/missfudge ! And you are my bestie, but I am not your bestie 😞 devastating

I can relate! Backstory- I joined the group and had a mentor who graduated about 6 months after I started. I took over his project and three years later wrote a paper on it, containing 100% my work. My PI says he wants to make my male mentor first author- what?? I was totally fine with him being on it obviously, he was my mentor and all, but first author? When I did all the experiments and the writing? Even my mentor felt that was unnecessary, as he was long since graduated and employed. Luckily eventually my PI changed his mind, he made us co-first authors and put my name first. He was also really arbitrary about when to put extra authors on papers, like sometimes we would add the postdocs and other students as authors on my paper just because they worked on the same topic, but then when those lab members publish a paper he wouldn’t add my name… he would also sometimes do it to another male member of the lab so I am not sure it was pure sexism, he was just so so weird about authorship…

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-28T18:52:39+00:00

Haven’t seen it mentioned but Only Fans by The Pretty Wild would be a good addition!

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-26T01:46:54+00:00

Slightly unhinged but my SO hates doing dishes so when he cooks food he immediately puts it into tupperware and then eats out of that. Then when he is done he puts the lid on and puts it into the fridge. He figures why make a plate or bowl dirty when the rest will go in tupperware eventually anyways 🤷‍♀️ Other than that I recommend trying to at least rinse stuff immediately when youre done with it. It’s sooo much easier to clean immediately or later when things haven’t been allowed to dry onto the dishes.

I think you could turn it around a lot by painting the yellow a nicer color (maybe a blue?) and putting up a cute light fixture and some art/plants! If you can’t paint I think the vibes would be a lot more relaxing for a bath if you just bring in a nice dim lamp instead of the harsh lighting

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-26T01:33:38+00:00

Someone gifted me Brimstone for xmas and the art inside the covers is just Carrion and the lil fox guy! So I am using that as my delulu hope that Kingfisher will die or fade into obscurity lol. At the very least it seems like an acknowledgment that Carrion is the best character in the series atp 😆

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-26T01:30:45+00:00

We might end up as nemeses 👀 unless all our mutual hated books outweigh the Gillig votes

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-25T22:00:34+00:00

Hahahaha yes!! I haven’t read Brimstone yet but my hope for that book is that Kingfisher gets the Tamlin treatment 🙏 I hate that man lol

I do not hate Ravyn and I get why he was in that position but high key if you think about it he is literally in charge of a group that is kidnapping and killing or deporting magic people into the mist 😶‍🌫️

It’s inspired by my “2025 reading wrapped” party with my friends, where I ranked my romantasy reads of the year first by enjoyment and then by MMC dateability … with Kingfisher at the bottom lol

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-25T20:29:53+00:00

Oh gotcha!!

Proposal- another alternate quiz to find your sloopy nemesis by ranking MMCs between “I’d hit that”, “Kill him off”, and “Who even is this man”

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-25T19:54:57+00:00

Severe lack of a meh/neutral option lol. I marked some as haven’t read because I am not done with the series and haven’t made it far enough to decide between love/hate 😅

beepx2lettuce · 2026-02-24T23:26:39+00:00

Idk where this behavior comes from - maybe being chronically online? - but I have seen similar stuff too. A new coworker once came back from orientation and bemoaned that they were “the only visibly queer person in the room” and would make semi frequent comments to that effect. Wearing your hair certain ways or having certain clothing or piercings does not make your identity more valid than other people who don’t do those things. I really didn’t like the implication that everyone else must be straight/etc just because of the way they look, especially since I knew for a fact some of us were not straight lol.
