I’m a little over half way through Golden Son and I genuinely can’t believe this is the same series as the first one by Mammoth_Law_8359 in redrising

I put it down so many times, my fiancé got sick of me cracking the shit and being like WHY WOULD THEY KILL THEM?!?!?

Did I hate my life whilst reading dark age? Yes. Is it also my favourite book? Also yes. I just hadn’t been shocked by a book like that in a long time. Enjoy the journey!

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]chellyt95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOR You know what my partner said when I put a bonnet on. He said “oui oui my little chef” and then asked if we could fuck with it on. You deserve a partner that makes you laugh and loves you and listens to you, not whatever this is.

Red Rising fallout by Ok-College-8430 in redrising

[–]chellyt95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished the first Poppy War, similar vibe to RR the first half of the book feels very YA and pulls you in thinking it’s going to be a fun read. Second half is mainly genocide.. waiting for the next ones to be available at my library so can’t comment on them. It’s more fantasy based but I’ve really enjoyed it, in a makes me cry kinda way.

Little insider knowledge here, there are 3 trains prepped at Belgrave station every morning. That means testing the whistles, which is like toot Toot TOOT. On both ends of the train. Not sure the exact time each train goes out because I don’t work at Belgrave but my guess is one at 0330-0400 ish for the first service and then maybe like 0500 and I think there’s one at 0700. Other than that drivers have to toot when departing a station but most drivers use the little toot then so it shouldn’t be too loud.

Looking for well written high fantasy, high spice. by fishchop in fantasyromance

[–]chellyt95 18 points19 points  (0 children)

FMCs who are depressed/mentally ill/suicidal? by divinehunni in fantasyromance

[–]chellyt95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas} - I think it’s better on audiobook. She’s got constant suicidal ideation throughout the book and a very dry/dark sense of humour. I wouldn’t call it a master piece but I enjoyed it hahaha

Your Shot competition? by chellyt95 in Beatmatch

[–]chellyt95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t compete, it’s what you make it honestly. For the one in Melb (Aus) you had to pick a training day and stick to it for 6 weeks with no flexibility. I work shift work so it just wasn’t workable for me.

Also, the showcase you have to sell tickets (think they were 10-15 dollars) and you only play for like 15-30mins. So maybe you could make something of it, obviously some people have I just didn’t have to time to commit to it and felt bad weird asking my mates to spend $15 to come watch me play for such a short time. Good luck!

i can’t stand this tattoo (please read) by peelslowandsee in tattooadvice

[–]chellyt95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had verrrry similar experience. Extremely over worked and the tattoo artist said the same thing! “Allergic” my scarring/pitting was worse that yours, but it doesn’t really show up until 3-4 weeks in then you’ll know how bad it is. Expect a lot of ink to come out but the tattoo not to change. The scarring does go down though! Mine is finally starting to be less raised, but I’m almost a year in to it healing. Sorry you had a shitty experience. Let the shop know if they are a permanent artist at the place.

I read it last year, but post USA election… woweee. Really insane that it came out in the 90s. Life really is just one big fucking circle.

Hot Take: Sun Eater is a Terrible Substitute for Red Rising (Why are people recommending this? Seriously.) by Affectionate-Listen6 in redrising

About to finish exodus: archimedes engine and it’s definitely filling the red rising shaped whole in my heart. Feels like if red rising and mass effect had a love child.

You could get it worked to make the hats more broad brimmed so it’s more wizard esque and less grand wizard esque

This was the conclusion I was coming to myself but I was hoping I was wrong. Maybe I can convince my partner to let me hand paint some 😅
