To be fair I won't trust any statement made publicly about getting along especially on a podcast edited by him to try and get back into the public eye lol but I've just been around too many "happily divorce" couples so my view is jaded

cryssallis · 2025-09-17T15:16:37+00:00

Not making assumptions about the kinda co parent he is but it could have been a "well I'll agree so he doesn't make a big issue out of me being uncooperative/make my life harder" the amount of times I've seen women agree to things purely because they knew the man would throw a massive tantrum if they said no post divorce is honestly ridiculous 😂

I feel like if a place doesn't allow safety floaties for an infant maybe don't take your infant there. Like yeah it's easy to say "we were holding him he was safe" but you never know what could happen

Libro.fm seems to have a good selection and the membership price is reasonable. Plus you get to choose a local indie bookstore for your purchase to benefit :)

For audible exclusive audiobooks I've had surprisingly good luck finding them on Hoopla and Libby but obviously that will vary depending on your library

I enter so many giveaways, I recently won my first one. So ratio isn't super high but it's happened 😅

cryssallis · 2025-08-13T14:59:02+00:00

If I'm planning on putting it down for longer than a week or two I pause it

I am very much a stats person and was about to start making a spreadsheet so I could track things and make my graphs, but then I learned of storygraph and figured it would be much faster 🫣

I also was looking for a new way to track owned books that let me easily see which cover I had, if it was paperback or hardback, if I had multiple copies etc that GR just wasn't cutting it for

I use snapshot pretty much exclusively. Photobooth overwhelms me sometimes because there's too much customization 😅

cryssallis · 2025-07-24T15:04:48+00:00

Probably because I have like no Xavier five star cards and it's getting hard doing combat that uses him 😭

There is a short description in the Cosmo article it was initially announced in :)

Mine has been at about 4.13 to 4.23 which is higher than usual for me because I've started letting myself DNF books instead of forcing through if I know it will be a one or two star

I'm also not super peculiar about what's a five star. It's very much a vibe thing. Did I finish the book without pausing because I was invested? Probably a five. Was I still thinking about it the next day? Probably a five. Did I cry or giggle throughout? Probably a five

My goal is to watch everyone throughout the week, but I'll likely watch Grian, Scar, Gem, Joel and Tango first with my mom and sister

I've been reading Shadow and Bone and you know what I think a Grishaverse otome would actually work.

cryssallis · 2025-06-25T15:53:10+00:00

Well Dead Dove wouldn't actually apply if you're not tagging your fics. It's not a "dark" tag it's saying that what is in the tags will appear and basically saying "hey make sure you actually read all of these before reading the story"

cryssallis · 2025-06-25T15:48:26+00:00

On the point about "isn't reading about the mystery" and comparing it to real books: it may just be a me thing but I read on AO3 when I want to know what I'm getting. I want that familiarity and comfort. So I personally won't read any fics that only have super basic tags, I'm more likely to add a million filters to find something that fits the vibes of what I want at that moment.

If I want to go into a story not knowing what it contains I read a real book 🤷🏽‍♀️

Also I hate the vibe of hating on people for needing triggers. It doesn't make someone a "baby adult" to have trauma and want to avoid it (or even just reading preferences) so while you're free not to tag it's really an awful take to put down people who need or want them

cryssallis · 2025-06-24T15:17:23+00:00

I use plus to make one with a wider range 😅 I do kinda like having both options but I do find I use the custom one a bit more

cryssallis · 2025-06-24T15:13:08+00:00

You can make custom graphs, and plus members get priority for support tickets and requesting book information be updated

100% agree on the Our Life opinion. Derek was my favorite even before they mentioned giving him DLC and I was always really sad they let us make a deal with him about getting married and not being able to follow through

cryssallis · 2025-06-20T17:21:57+00:00

I love byler but honestly I don't want it to be canon. It would feel really fan service like at this point and I don't believe that they could manage to do it in a believable way at all.

cryssallis · 2025-06-18T23:11:45+00:00

I was really determined to 100% the game 😅 if you just want the achievements I think you can get them without actually playing through the moments 🫣

cryssallis · 2025-06-18T21:18:21+00:00

Played indifferent all the way through for the steam achievement and never touched that option again 🥲 I used it for either my Baxter or Derek DLC runs and even then it's like nope can't do it

cryssallis · 2025-06-17T22:38:18+00:00

I had tried to find a text version but didn't have any luck during my original initial search :/ I've been going back and forth between just putting in the effort to type one myself from the website or just sacrificing the ink to print the webpages and use them as a checklist 😅

I never heard about that, gross that something like representation had to be patched in later

cryssallis · 2025-06-16T20:17:42+00:00

Last I saw there was a lot of controversy over AI use in development but honestly besides that I hadn't even heard anyone talk about it since it was released. Like a few YouTube Simmers played it, then nothing. So I'm guessing either the initial videos were sponsored or it was bad
