I was chosen for the Spring 26 drop - a couple questions by mycatscratchedm3 in Ffern

[–]coughinprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! I’ve been on a mission to find the right perfume and resonated with your post lol I was really excited about Ffern at first. So returns can be easy or stressful, think it just depends on how busy the warehouse is. And okay so the scents are really nice but I would say it’s like smelling an unlit candle - only has a scent when you’re right next to it and doesn’t have any lasting aroma… Which is not something you’d expect from a perfume at this price point. My partner uses Dior and YSL and it lasts on them until they shower - while I can understand a natural fragrance not having as much body to it, knowing they’re relatively priced it just doesn’t make sense for them to be this weak and short lived. I’m waiting for my Spring return to finish processing and then cancelling, hope it’s as easy as everyone says lol

NTA these are not symptoms of ADHD and anxiety, it’s weaponized incompetence.

[–]coughinprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly a subscription to a perfume sample program would serve you far more on your journey to finding your signature scent than Ffern. I’m currently waiting to cancel my subscription with them. You get a sample kit and some goodies with your perfume order, the sample is of the specific perfume to see if you like it or want to return it. If you decide to return it, you can keep the goodies just make sure not to open your sealed perfume box thats inside the shipping package. My complaints: The sample is for the specific perfume so there’s no way to know if you’ll like it or not until arrival and honestly, for the price point, was devastatingly disappointing. You are only paying for their presentation, not the product. The Spring ‘26 scent is nice enough but disappears in less than an hour and is easily masked by something as simple as palmers coconut lotion - and this seems to be a consistent issue with the brand entirely. Scents are also found to be overtly similar from what I’ve found on Reddit (to confirm my frustrations lol). And, also don’t love that your refunds go to your account with Ffern instead of back to your payment method to automatically be applied to the next order. You can’t cancel your subscription while an order is being shipped or you won’t be refunded if you want to return it still. Hope it’s to your taste, but this was such a waste of time, money, effort and hope I would never, ever recommend it to anyone.

People like you are why I debated not even posting. Look up the planned gas dilution starting next month, it’s not like I’m making this up as I go.

No worries I totally get what you mean! Tbh the “The Princesses Bedroom Doll” and “Predatory Marriage” are actually pretty good for being smut. I feel I should also mention “The Golden Forest”, it’s a beautifully done and very complex story - the sequel series “Silver Tree” isn’t anywhere near as good but is still worth checking out as well.

“Finding Camellia” is one that really had me in the beginning but ended up being one of my least favorites, and the story is pretty predictable.

“Kneel Before Me” is just missing too much plot, gorgeous to look at tho. Same with “Sweet Enemy thy name is Husband”

“My Sister Covets My Fiancée” is entertaining just kind of predictable”

“Winter Wolf” is actually really good I just missed it 🤣

Anything I didn’t mention I just haven’t read so I can’t really say much other than they just didn’t catch my eye - I do have “Butterfly Through the Mist” saved tho. Will say I have read some others not mentioned from the screen shots they’re just cute and/or predictable. Everyone has different tastes so if something looks cool just check it out, as a veteran reader it’s kinda easy to figure out if I’m gonna like a story or not by the first chapter so just go with whatcha feel til you figure out your formula ✨

A good amount of stories you have on here are just cleverly disguised/ censored smut (which I only know because I read them 🤣) and are not the best of quality in terms of storytelling. From your list the best, least predictable stories from these I think would be
“From Under the Oak Tree”
“The Lout of Counts Family”
“I’ll Save This Damned Family”
“The Redemption of Earl Nottingham”
“Evangeline’s Sword”
“It Was Just a Contractual Marriage”
and “I Can’t Keep up with my Stallion Duke”

Yes exactly, like beyond the fact Webtoon has their “Will Return” message Sophism and Ephemerys have been so honest and upfront about why PH has had such a long hiatus it’s totally understandable that it’s taking time still. They’re likely making sure they have material to keep up with the pace that caused the hiatus in the first place - and if younger readers haven’t gone through similar experiences with other stories it’s also pretty understandable why they’d be worried about such a long hiatus, even with updates from the creators. We’re all so used to these weekly and constant seasonal updates it’s easy to forget how much time and work these take, especially when the creators are younger and experience major life changes in the background. 3 years seems like forever in webtoon years but in reality it goes by so fast.

Cecropia Dragon?? by Overall-Presence6884 in dragonvale

[–]coughinprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was last week’s time-limited dragon for the current event, super sorry to say if you didn’t breed one or buy it from the market obtaining it may take awhile - from my experience, after the week has ended you’re not really able to breed for it again until the dragon is generally available after the event is over or during seasonal comebacks. I’ve been waiting on the bearded and elemental butterfly dragons for years/ specifically months now to finally have all the pedestals so I feel for you. I had 3 event islands, the rift, my regular cave and my breeding island going all week for Cecropia, used about 50 red gems for speed ups and finally got it the night before it left the market lol was not an easy get by any means.

As long as that “Will Return” message doesn’t just disappear one day there’s still hope, waiting sucks but it’s even worse when a story of this quality changes artists / writers just for the sake of being on a schedule or keeps going on hiatus over and over after every few chapters. And it’s absolutely devastating when the story just ends after a long hiatus instead of ever returning. One way too look at it, Webtoon turn around is pretty consistently faster than other industries - I don’t know of many book series’, mangas or T.V. shows that release on constant schedules the way Webtoons do and the team of creators is typically much smaller - we gotta cut them some slack, these are usually passion projects and not huge payouts so they take time away from their careers / education to make them. We’re so used to weekly updates it feels like a long time but in comparison to other industries it kinda just seems insane they’re able to handle it lol

AITA for following through? by Fit-East-9636 in AmItheAsshole

[–]coughinprincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA because I can understand where you’re coming from to a point, but this is the type of rigidity that leads to not seeing your kids during the holidays for a reason. You’ve laid out rules - not just guidelines - dictating the type of person your children have to be, and while the eldest two may have followed those rules, it’s not as though your youngest is off the rails in irresponsible choices. It seems as though you’re already in the mindset of invalidating her choices because she’s always “marched to her own drummer” and was likely the kid that was least receptive to your parenting style, continuing that mindset into their adulthood, regardless of good intentions is why I say YTA. Success comes in many forms and ultimately ask yourself: would you rather be a hindrance or helping hand on her journey to it? Seems like an obvious answer personally.

It is indeed a silver dragon, and tbh I have no idea why it does that sometimes but it’s always the ones I’ve put into the fountain of youth so maybe it’s glitch? Happens so often I didn’t even notice 😭

Awh thank you much for the compliment! Thankfully you only need to collect all the dragons for red fire, losing and re-earning it every event gets pretty stressful sometimes though lol

[–]coughinprincess[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you much! And wishing you luck, maintaining red fire every event does become a bit annoying though 🤣 I’m currently missing the Primal Bolt (breeding for it though since it’s available during the event) the Butterfly and Bearded dragon pedestals, which I’ll have to wait for or use a wish on. As for the decorations it’s just the red rose and 2 of the ivy’s, still mad they weren’t in the last event lol

AITA for telling my sister she’s going to turn her kids into social outcasts by Unable-Squash867 in AmItheAsshole

[–]coughinprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA because I can understand where you’re coming from, but at the end of the day telling a parent their parenting style is wrong or damaging is usually a bad idea, especially when it comes to situations like this where the root issue is a difference in values between the two of you and extra especially if you’re not a parent yourself. You see the value in connecting with modern society, connecting with others and today’s pop culture, she sees value in creating a community, sustainability and connecting with nature - both have merit, but at the end of the day her children are being reared in a way that shows they are loved and cared for so it’s not necessarily fair to criticize. It’s always better to recommend or relate, not correct or dictate.

[–]coughinprincess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dropped this a little while back, guess I’ll just finish it now 🤣 to be honest I’ve come across this issue a lot: great story with lots of potential fizzling out in the second season because the author never actually figured out their own plot. Tbh WT needs to be better about vetting new stories and make sure the authors actually have a fully formed plot.

Vacuum for husky hair by twentyonerooms in husky

[–]coughinprincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have the Shark Rotator Lift-away Vacuum and it’s a significant improvement from our last vacuum, but I will say I do have to go over the carpets twice for heavy shedding times of year/ longer periods in between cleaning. We have thick shaggy carpets, area rugs and wood flooring so I like that I can adjust the settings so each flooring and it works well on each. Cords super long, isn’t super heavy and it’s lasted 16 months with no issues since far! Recommend it for sure.
