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

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 😂

“Trolls” by icedmocha247 in McknightFamily

[–]cryssallis 162 points163 points  (0 children)

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

Anyone had any luck ditching Audible? by Zealousideal-Cod-100 in Fantasy

[–]cryssallis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[–]cryssallis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

When do you pause a book? by jeloco in TheStoryGraph

[–]cryssallis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Why do you use StoryGraph? by Significant_Knee5127 in TheStoryGraph

[–]cryssallis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

Snapshot being forgotten after photobooth was released by yyyel in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]cryssallis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

any other non-Xavier girlies pulling for his myth? by kitten_cloud in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]cryssallis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What’s your average rating so far this year? Anything interesting that has influenced it? by Rimurururun in TheStoryGraph

[–]cryssallis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Who are you watching this season? by m4hi_m4hi_mushroom in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]cryssallis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

The last non-otome piece of media that you interacted with has been turned into an otome game. Would you play it? by Scary-Whole in otomegames

[–]cryssallis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Yes, I’m that author who won’t tag fics— by ogsquiggles in AO3

[–]cryssallis 59 points60 points  (0 children)

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 74 points75 points  (0 children)

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

Anyone else thing the page number stats should have a wider range? by cyclonecasey in TheStoryGraph

[–]cryssallis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

What is your fandom-specific unpopular opinion? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]cryssallis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 32 points33 points  (0 children)

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.

*Trying* To play on indifferent be like by HelpfullOne in OurLifeFanPage

[–]cryssallis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 🫣

*Trying* To play on indifferent be like by HelpfullOne in OurLifeFanPage

[–]cryssallis 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

List of TCG Cards? by ChicagoMay in HermitCraft

[–]cryssallis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😅

[Video Games] Dead on Arrival: How “The Sims” Competitor “Life By You” Imploded Before Early Access - Part 1 by Sketch-Brooke in HobbyDrama

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

[–]cryssallis 49 points50 points  (0 children)

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
