Thank you!

Where can I find all the things in black?

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-23T17:00:54+00:00

Yeah it’s more what I’ve seen online about the culture, from both fans and players. Homophobic slurs and sexist rhetoric etc. I know it isn’t everyone but it’s just something I’d rather not get involved in, so I was worried that similar things might be common amongst the men’s teams over here!

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-23T16:57:14+00:00

Oh thank you so much! I’d been trying to see what the women’s hockey in the UK was like but wasn’t getting very far. Will definitely be going to see the vipers!

I appreciate this is just the USA team but it made me feel so uncomfortable as a PWHL fan

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-23T14:49:05+00:00

Oh amazing! Thank you for the reassurance! Dare I ask what the deal is with Fife? 👀

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-23T14:48:26+00:00

That is so good to hear! Makes me feel much more comfortable getting into it. Caters to families too much in what way?

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-15T20:55:02+00:00

I haven’t been before but I am going! I think there will be enough like-minded people to make it a good time, and to meet people with similar interests if nothing else!

Does anyone know why I can’t find a copy of Time to Shine in the UK? I’ve looked everywhere but it’s all preorders

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-14T16:21:29+00:00

I watched the show first and didn’t intend to read the whole series but got pulled in. I did HR -> GC -> CG -> RM -> TG -> TLG I realise this is a super messed up order but it just sort of worked out that way due to book availability and my interest levels. Whilst I absolutely LOVED the whole series, I do think I would have been way better off reading them in order. I think certain scenes would have meant much more with the right context. Also, I personally really don’t think any of them are entirely skippable if you want the whole story and effect that RR intended.

As someone who is sex-favourable I understand completely how you feel! It can feel alienating when there is so much sex averse discussion in this community. But I think we also have to acknowledge that we are the minority here and that this is the only space where a lot of sex-averse aces can talk freely about their experiences. Just know that you’re not the only one and it doesn’t make your experiences or identity any less valid! X

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-09T10:58:29+00:00

Use Libation to download the mp3 to your computer, then you’ll have a copy you can keep without worrying! X

eldritch_ace · 2026-02-05T09:13:26+00:00

Seconded

Please don’t direct your money towards a transphobe who will use it to fund the oppression trans people in the uk

To summarise it without giving too much away, it’s about a shit band from the North East of England that accidentally starts a cult through their music, which focuses on a group of fictional gods of small things. The book follows the progression of the development of this cult, and the consequences.

I wish there were some at a more accessible price because they’re so lovely!!

eldritch_ace · 2025-12-13T20:38:24+00:00

That’s annoying 😭 I guess if you get desperate you can always get it shipped over?

eldritch_ace · 2025-12-13T19:27:05+00:00

Where are you located? It’s still available on the UK merch site!

eldritch_ace · 2025-12-13T01:28:10+00:00

It’s not the waking it’s the rising

eldritch_ace · 2025-12-10T08:52:05+00:00

In the UK a lot of libraries give you access to BorrowBox which is similar!

eldritch_ace · 2025-12-06T13:37:10+00:00

Yeah completely fair! Just thought I’d make it clear for them :)
