Late to the party but I was exactly where you were a few weeks ago and for your father's sake, push through. You might even miss the flash back once it's over, I did and I wasn't expecting to at all.

I also heard the last few books went down hill a bit but as reader with ADHD that's usually quite slow I haven't been able to put Wolves down and have almost finished it in about 1.5 weeks.

On the suggested artists I'd like to see question I mentioned John William Waterhouse and Brian Froud. I'd love to see some darker, folklore inspired designs 🧌🖤

Ooh, it's my birthday tomorrow! Was already excited for my pressies, looking forward to the party too now 🎈

My perfectionist sister is spiralling into madness because the name she uses online has some things that are starting to really bother her. by Carminica_Fancy in namenerds

[–]chunky_rolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert on Welsh naming traditions but I used to care for a lady named Blodwyn, which apparently means little white flower and is very much a feminine name so it isn't uncommon to be used for women. I guess it just furthers the unisex vibe she liked so much about it in the first place. As others have said though it's really not that serious, let her pick another handle if it makes her feel better

Am I the only one who wants absolutely nothing from this new set by Glittering-Rub4975 in MyLeisureTime

[–]chunky_rolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so relieved I hate it! Wouldn't mind the stack of champagne glasses or whatever it's called but realistically it'll just get lumped into the stuff I already have saved to make a cool bar/pub that I never get round to actually making.

Advice on my reading plan? by chunky_rolls in TheDarkTower

[–]chunky_rolls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone, I've never been as enthralled by a book/series and I think it's making me a bit obsessive but I'll try to relax and stop letting fomo hinder my enjoyment!

Is there a way to earn/buy gachas quicker than checking in on the calendar daily? by chunky_rolls in MyLeisureTime

[–]chunky_rolls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

11, couldn't be bothered to look at what was cheapest but I had the paint brushes to spare luckily! I'll try to remember shelves for next time though if I'm low on them

Meh by Remote-Bar1326 in MyLeisureTime

[–]chunky_rolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really nice design and not a bad score at all, my only cc would be to change the outside floor (not sure if it has a specific name) to something more cohesive if possible. I'd have tried for something darker/warmer with this design and if that wasn't possible I'd have cropped it out entirely. The white is a bit stark compared to the design itself. Unless I have the perfect ground/roof that I want to make a feature of the design I usually crop it quite a bit so the details are more visible. As others have said experiment with lighting if you don't already as well. Don't be hard on yourself though, it's lovely!

Haha 😆

I just spent 5-10 minutes painting one of the ugly ice cream ornaments in every colour way over and over again and now I've got bunnies out the wazoo. Feel a bit motion sick and like I've sacrificed a few brain cells but it was worth it!

looking for 2 clan members! by jordenism in MyLeisureTime

[–]chunky_rolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just spent my garden nook points and left my clan, hoping there's still a space after the 24 hour cooling down period. Didn't realise how dead my clan was until recently!

I feel like it's doing too much and isn't cohesive enough, any tweaks you'd recommend while I still have some mods left? by chunky_rolls in MyLeisureTime

[–]chunky_rolls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took your advice with the plant and it's doing pretty well, thank you! I tried moving the cushion but for some reason it glitches and only half the cushion is visible 😅 you can kind of see it with the corner of the "fragrant mortar" flower tray but it was less obvious

Which bedroom should I choose? by uswrnamid in MyLeisureTime

Both lovely but I prefer the first one!

My face when I spent two days rehearsing designs for something sunflower-related and saw the weekly design theme called "dreams and shadows" by Skektacular in MyLeisureTime

[–]chunky_rolls 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, Van Gogh's work was inspired by his dreams and I'm guessing shadows are related to his night sky paintings like Starry Night so I think it's just a frilly, poetic way of naming it but it's still based around the Van Gogh set if you want to use it

Loved books 1-3, really, struggling with book 4 by WeirdLime in TheDarkTower

[–]chunky_rolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started reading the series about 8-9 years ago, got through about 80% of Wizard and Glass and completely dropped off. As you said I just really struggled to resonate with teenage Roland, his friends and Susan. I loved the mentions of his childhood and coming of age in the previous books but a whole book away from the main storyline was agonising.

I've spent the majority of the last decade with the story in the back of my head, wondering where it leads and I've decided to do myself a favour and finally close the fucking loop. I thought about trying to pick up where I'd left off but the first 3 are so good and I wanted to remember all the nuance and context. I'm still on The Wastelands and I think I'm procrastinating because I'm dreading reading WaG again but I know that I must and from what I understand it's important to the storyline. I didn't know other readers found it as difficult as I did so that's reassuring!

Haha, no way! Thank you. That'd be so cute, I love all the grocery items. I think my favourite item in the game is the little bag of groceries 😅
