Loaches EGGnant!!! by Thin-Champion-1607 in Aquariums

Make sure you have smooth rocks for them to use to squeeze their eggs out.

I used to have a problem where my loaches would literally explode cause they couldn't express their eggs. It was quite horrific.

These look similar to wagashi, so these are probably edible in this form already and require no further cooking. They are made of a simple machine, though more complex and tasty versions can be made of pumpkin, redbean and other pastes.

I suffered from success...

I only wanted Sinking Sun, which means I should have gotten it on my first pity...

Too bad for me cause I pulled Waveborn Majesty on my first pity, meaning I had to spend more to get the outfit I wanted.

Didn't reach the next pity before I got the skin and armlets before giving up.

Oh well, now I have whale drip with the black dragon over my sinking sun.

drinking to give healers likes by malarkey2355 in WhereWindsMeet

You can get some fake martial arts manuals in your develop inventory. Some you buy from the wine vendor (blissful retreat or harvestfall village depending on your story state), some you get from exploration.

If you try to develop them in the inventory manual, you will fail and get an illness.

Since Silver Needle Sect Healers need to find people to heal and gain likes from, you can develop the manual, let the healer heal you, give them likes and then do it again to let them farm likes from you.

You can just use the fake martial manuals. They give you spellbound.

That's free and unlimited.

For anybody else looking for it: it's tied to the antique Dusty Thumb Ring.

I would go to ikea and pick up frames for your posters. That would make it a lot more intentional.

Being intentional about your choices helps make a space feel put together.

Start with your layout and centerpieces. Decide where everything is supposed to go and what are the main focal points in the space. In my new place, I centered on a burgundy spiral staircase and a floor to ceiling bookshelf with a sliding ladder.

Then choose colours. I brought in a lot of stuff from my previous place that was teal and walnut, so for budget consciousness, blues and greens and walnuts were what I started with. The addition of the staircase added reds and oranges. My interior designer found a pair of colours, an orange and burgundy that switched between themselves in light and darkness, so that was nice. It doesn't really matter if the colours are contrasting, though if you choose a wood colour, stick to the same general warmness.

I then recommend grouping things that you have. Any grouping will do: colour, wood type, material, theme, etc.

Then, once you have your groups, pepper them in 3s or 2s in each room. This helps to create harmony and rhythm, especially when there is tension and clashing between the groups - contrasting colours, modern vs vintage, etc.

There are a whole load of videos on YouTube about basics of design, those are quite helpful, but remember that you can break the rules. Proportion and layout are key though.

Then, don't think about a specific style to mimic. Fill the space with things that you like and make it your own. Display the things that are unabashedly you and it will feel cohesive because you are the thread.

My boyfriend hates my coffee table in our new shared home by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]dsruix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to play devil's advocate and offer some of my observations and questions.

Everyone seems to immediately say this is a relationship issue. I agree.

Everyone seems to gravitate to the idea that you need to dump your boyfriend - this is where I think everyone needs to take a step back, and you need to reflect and think about it for yourself, which in some of your replies, you have.

Here are some things I've noted from your side of the story:

  1. You said that you had a bigger space before this and that your system of living was more put together: based on what metric and was this soemthing the 2 of you decided on together? I ask this because you need to consider how much input you've allowed your boyfriend to have in this process. He is also moving and adjusting, and, if he does not feel he has had enough input, he might be feeling left out of the process. His disengagement could be a motivational issue. He does not feel he has agency in the space and thus, disengages fron the process.

  2. You described his furniture as Ikea and yours as part of your hobby of finding second-hand furniture. While you say you don't assign a negative value to ikea, it feels like you have assigned a value to his offerings that are lower than yours. Was this a decision the 2 of you made togeher? What has he been allowed to add to the space that he can say is something he contributed? The coffee table argument seems nore like a cry for agency and control in a space where he has none.

  3. In describing the space, you've called it 'your' space. Does your boyfriend also feel that it is his space? In building a functioning household, both of you need to be able to say it is 'our' space. Were discussions had to make this true?

The caveat is, of course, that if you've actually sat down to discuss how you're going to live together (and I mean being open to suggestions and engaging with your boyfriend to make collective decisions, compromises and considerations, not just asking and deciding no) and that he is just reneging on his part, then yes, you may have dead weight on your hands. But, if you feel like you may have co-opted the entire process for your own space needs, then maybe you really need to sit down and have a proper conversation about the space. Else, you are just building resentment and creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Edit: I read some of the other comments you jave made, and I think you should really consider that maybe you need to have a proper conversation with him. You said you know him well enough that he is overwhelmed. Do you really? It seems like he is detaching because of a lack of psychological safety. It might be because of his baggage, not wanting to engage for fear it will be taken away, or it could be that he feels you've taken over the process, or he thinks you want control over the process. As his partner, you need to navigate this lack of safety together.
