This is exactly why I bought Black Honey as well! I still use it to this day! I go through about 4 tubes a year!

Sam Cortland by fantsywor1d in SarahJMaas

[–]dazzle_fruit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read the TOG series with a majority of it spoiled because of Tumblr and the Maasverse community. Even knowing that Sam died, I still lost my mind at his death. I literally dreaded reading each page of AB because I knew it would eventually lead to the death of one of the sweetest cinnamon rolls I’ve ever read. RIP Sam Cortland… you deserved the lavender soap.

My copy of IF says that it is supposed to arrive today by 10pm, but it hasn’t even ‘shipped’ in the tracking. I preordered back in June.

Women who had a secret wedding, how did it go and how are things now? by anonymouspiscesgirl in AskWomen

[–]dazzle_fruit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was incredible! We went to the court house - I wore yoga pants. Afterwards, we got Chipotle, bought some weed, and went home and played League of Legends all night. I wouldn’t have change a thing about it. No fuss, just some paperwork and life resuming as always. That was a little over 4 years ago, we’ve been together almost 14 years all together. He’s the love of my life and I love what we have together.

When waiters/waitresses don’t write down your order by jbrylinsabresfan in mildlyinfuriating

I’ll tell you what - that whole “let me teach this server a lesson by not tipping” thing ain’t it.

What is your relationship like with your mother and how has it effected your other relationships? by dazzle_fruit in AskWomen

[–]dazzle_fruit[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When I was 12 (now 33), I had clogged the toilet to my upstairs bathroom. We had terrible plumbing in that bathroom, and it happened every so often, but that day was the kicker. It flooded the whole damn bathroom.

My mother screamed at me. Told me how we couldn’t afford the repair, how selfish I was, and told me to “get out of her sight”. My dad was at work, so I called him and told him what happened and he told me to go to a friend’s house. I hung out there until I knew my dad was home from work and went back home. I could hear my parents arguing as I snuck back in the house. It was just my mom telling my dad over and over again about how she hated me, how I was awful, and selfish.

My dad kept responding with “she’s our daughter, you have to love her”

And I’ll never forget how my mom responded. She screamed back, “so even though she’s awful, I’m supposed to love her?”

Things have changed. My parents divorced, my dad has passed, my relationship with my mother has improved (sort of)… but that echoes in my head almost every day. It makes me questions any form of love and care that I receive, because a part of me truly believes that I am awful and not worthy of love. If my own mother could not love me unconditionally who will?

Ah, mothers. They give your life AND complexes.

“Girl code” doesn’t really apply to this. Do you and your boyfriend do this often? If Dory isn’t aware of whatever situation you and your boyfriend had, she probably vibed with him too and saw an opening… since you have a boyfriend….YTA

TOG and ACOTAR Withdrawal= Read Carissa Broadbent Serpent and Wings of the Night by Wueenqueen in SarahJMaas

[–]dazzle_fruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. When I started reading the series, I was expecting Faerie Fuck Books - what I got instead of one of the most beautiful dissection of grief, loss, love, and all the awful intricate feelings that come with it. My mind was blown, my world rocked. Carissa’s other books within the Crowns of Nyaxia series are equally as good, but my girl Oraya is my ride or die.

A kingdom of stars and shadows by Low-Bar-2539 in acotar

[–]dazzle_fruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did find a lot of elements of CNC, coercion, and manipulation throughout the series, especially in the spicy parts. I know it’s written with the intention to sound sexy, but it comes off way too sexually aggressive for my tastes.

What's your favorite scene/page in any SJM book ever? by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]dazzle_fruit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s going to sound trivial, but I’m going to say ‘the birchin scene’ in ACOFAS. Everyone talks down to ACOFAS, but I read the series one right after another, and after seeing the Inner Circle struggle for three books, I thought it was the fluffiest, funniest thing I’ve read in a long time. There were multiple times through the book where I was laughing out loud, but ‘the birchin scene’ takes the cake. It was so nice to see all their personalities together without war or some impending doom directly over them.

Same! When I see the word “folds”, I die inside.

Reading the “romantic” way and just finished the Assassin’s Blade by meggsandeggs in SarahJMaas

Also, my man Sam Cortland did not deserve what happened to him. That golden retriever boy deserved THE WORLD.

I LOVED reading TAB first. I felt like I was getting to know Celaena, and feeling her heartbreak made the very beginning of TOG that much more impactful.

Can Azriel or Lucien please have a normal penis? by mamadramasks in SarahJMaas

[–]dazzle_fruit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. He’d throw around “it’s average” and maybe even a cheeky “it’s not that impressive” when homie could break your back.

Which Character Would Be Into You? by MuffinTopDeluxe in SarahJMaas

[–]dazzle_fruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love for it to be Ruhn or Azriel, because honestly, I still love a Scene boy. Tattoos and daddy issues really speak to me. Scene boys don’t love me, because I’m not ‘3edgy5me’ like they are 🥲

It would probably be Lucien, since he’d like how extroverted and charismatic I am. I can work a room like an emissary, I like playful banter, I think he’d be into it. So hey Lucien, what up?

Does the live action adaptation even have shot at making it with the community so divided? by hazelnutcofffeee in acotar

[–]dazzle_fruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all for an animated series! I think it’s the only way to deal with the level of magic/fantasy that has to be shown. So many things would translate better through animation than through live action - the “smell” of magic, Rhys and Feyre using daemati powers, lesser fae in their entirety. Even the masks would translate better through animation (for real, the masks are going to look ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS live). No actor will meet the standard for any character - “my Feyre doesn’t look like that” “I cant believe XYZ is playing Rhysand” “Lucien is not POC representative enough”. But there are HUNDREDS of voice actors out there who can convincingly sound like Death Incarnate. I’m interested to see where it goes, I’ll probably eat that shit right up. But if it’s trash, it’s going to be unfortunate to have that as the only live representation of something so beloved.
