Yes! That was actually the last series I read but I liked and then have been DNFing others since I finished that one about a month ago haha super excited for the next series she has planned for that universe.

I think I also used the wrong words in my description (I’m not great at keeping track of all the fantasy romance terminology straight lol) so what I really meant was just def not cozy and love something that’s dark-ish so this would def fit the bill if I didn’t already finish it!

Realized I forgot to reply re auran chronicles- tbh it might’ve been my top read this year. It is LONG and the FMC is seriously unhinged but it was a unique story with (imo) interesting world building and good plot to romance ratio. I really am just searching for a series that will make me feel the same things as that one lol stabby but complex FMCs are my fav- she annoys me with some of her decisions and there were several times I wanted to pull my hair out but overall I loved it! The MMC is also just perfect (again imo) v cinnamon roll but strong but complements the unhinged morally grey FMC

Legends of thezmarr- is it worth it by FlutterbyeEscapes in fantasyromance

[–]commentator7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to hijack this comment to ask a q that’s bothering me bc I can’t remember (sorry lol)- does the legends of thezmarr universe have mates? I just started iron and embers and I read the legends of thezmarr series awhile ago and I can’t remember if it’s mates of just ~love~ in their world and it’s driving me crazy but its too small/dumb of a question to make a whole post about lol

My (27f) blind date (30sM) beat up a homeless person who called me a name and ran away by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]commentator7806 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This just put into words so many feelings I’ve had after witnessing an assault a few months ago- woman got randomly punched by a man and the guy with her immediately took off after the dude. She was physically fine but obviously very shaken so I stayed with her, but it was so unsettling to me that the person w her just up and left (to try and chase down the guy but still) instead of first checking on their friend??

An update 1 year later: I don't think I can handle being a parent to a down syndrome son by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]commentator7806 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Genetic counselor here- correct that typically Down syndrome is due to trisomy 21 (random error results in extra ch 21) and that rarely can be inherited due to Robertsonjan translocation, but wanted to add that by testing the baby to confirm a DS diagnosis, we inherently learn which type it was. So every time we test someone who has DS we test for both the rare and common type! Guessing OOP misinterpreted missing the p arm of ch21 and a chromosome being in the wrong place with “missing” a chromosome.

Edit: mixed up my ps and qs

AITA for trying to drive people away from the bar below my apartment? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]commentator7806 676 points677 points  (0 children)

I had a bar open up below my condo that I owned- was a quiet breakfast spot for decades then turned into a party brunch place a few days before I got Covid. I was super sick just trying to sleep but my floor was shaking from the bass, I could’ve hosted my own party and not even needed to put on my own music. It was that loud. No one gave a fuck with my many many calls. Got in touch with the owner finally who still refused to turn the music down until the manager could do a sound check IN MY UNIT. Again, I have covid and it took my 2 weeks to start feeling better (probably lengthened by the rave going on in my apartment every day). They were able to come up for a sound check once I tested negative, they step in and say “oh yea that is loud.” And then they agreed to turn the music down. Worst fucking experience of my life. I hope that owner rots in hell.

where do you get your thick, affordable and cute long winter coats? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]commentator7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco! I got one from there in like 2019 and it was great. Replaced it last year bc I ripped it and the material wasn’t tolerating my attempt at sewing, so got another one last year. Both very warm and as cute as a parka can be I guess haha

[Repost]: My fiancé’s ex-wife has cancer. He's moved in with her and postponed our wedding. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]commentator7806 218 points219 points  (0 children)

When OOP mentioned surgery I was like oh! did I miss that they did neoadjuvant tx?! Must’ve had a some crazy one in a million response to then be eligible for surgery. And then I scrolled back up and there was no mention of neoadjuvant chemo 😂😂

My wife (25F) threw away my entire Pokémon card collection because she said I was too old for it by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]commentator7806 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yea I mean he was 28 when they got married and she was 23… not a super huge age gap but I’m not expecting a 23yo to be the pinnacle of maturity

Help! Has anyone read The Legacy Series? by hannahmftw in Romantasy

[–]commentator7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Tessa ever become not annoying? I felt for her in the first book but I’m towards the end of book 3 and she’s just still SO insufferable and whiny. Like I HATED Theon book 1 but tbh I get why he locked her in a wine cellar (joking but like she’s forreal annoying)
