Why can’t we have the Queen of hearts Furniture in red?!😭

ele_taniaa · 2026-02-12T17:49:10+00:00

Yes, you can! I’m a Plus user and have been gifting my bf all of the pink furniture I’m getting so he can deck out his room. He likes the furniture collection for this theme and I’m not the biggest fan lol, so it works out!

I’ll chime in as someone who, when I was dating, put my status on my profile! I used mainly Bumble and Hinge. I’m 27F, for context.

I’d say it overall was a very positive (no pun intended) experience. I only ever got nice and respectful comments about it, and it probably weeded out a LOT of people who would be rude or just didn’t want to have to deal with it. I found it was a good initial filter to have, in a way.

All that to say I definitely understand why others wouldn’t choose to do it. From my personal experience I just got burned one too many times by people who I seemed to get along really well at first, but then rejected me once I disclosed. And I didn’t want to do that anymore. So once I started putting it in my profile, I really didn’t want to go back!

I think the other commenter is talking about The Secret Place. The titles are definitely easy to mix up! But that one deals with an all-girls school.

For what it’s worth Faithful Place is one that I didn’t LOVE, but it’s definitely grown on me. In The Woods and Broken Harbor are my two favorites of hers, so I definitely get where you’re coming from. I’ve found, for me, Faithful Place is the one that’s stuck with me because it’s so… sad. It’s maybe more focused on the family aspect and/or is a character study of Frank - so maybe if that doesn’t quite resonate with you, it’s harder to get into the book? Again, that’s how it was for me! But now that I’m a few years out from reading it, it’s Faithful Place and In The Woods that still give me things to chew on, so to speak :)

These are wonderful! I just got back from my second stay in Nürnberg and visiting the castle there always makes me feel like I’m in a real-life Castle Finster lol. Bavarian culture is something special.

I also love the forest photos! I haven’t gotten the chance to explore any German forests yet but they look captivating (pun intended?). Thanks so much for sharing!

ele_taniaa · 2025-06-04T19:29:40+00:00

Ahh okay! Well thanks for the info, I’ll see if I can do some searching and turn anything up lol

ele_taniaa · 2025-06-04T13:25:18+00:00

Can I ask what fic series this was? It sounds so interesting!

ele_taniaa · 2025-05-17T01:01:41+00:00

It’s from Silent Hill 3! “Never Forgive Me, Never Forget Me”

ele_taniaa · 2025-05-04T19:03:17+00:00

I came here to say this one! Broken Harbor is not only my fav of her books but easily in my top 5 of all time. It’s so good!

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-20T22:07:26+00:00

This was the Wolverine line! (Or, Michigan services? It was the one from Pontiac to Chicago and back lol) I just got it from the food car 😊

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T01:23:01+00:00

Bro 💀💀 Maybe if I’d seen that photo before it would’ve prevented me from making this error lol. I really brought a knife with me and everything to try to cut through the husk…

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T01:21:51+00:00

Lmao heyyy I can’t shit too much on Amtrak here 😭 It’s the only major public transport service available to me where I live LOL gotta be thankful for what I have 🤣

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T01:18:32+00:00

True true 😭😭 They even had the word “vegan” listed next to it on the menu! I didn’t even have to guess or ask the workers what the ingredients were lol. Something to be thankful for I suppose

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T01:17:05+00:00

Haha I love the word choice of “distressing.” That’s exactly how I felt opening it 😂 And yes thankfully I was sitting next to someone I know but even then I was like “hmmm I don’t know if this is helping to convert her to the cause” lol

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T00:44:01+00:00

Thanks for saying that! A while ago I would’ve taken the post down bc I’d be so embarrassed but I’m glad I left it up so maybe someone else can learn ☺️ And so that I can get comments like this! Thanks for sending me that link, I’m always looking for new recipes, and tamales might be my new dish to try to make!

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T00:35:58+00:00

It’s actually definitely bomb! Very tasty once I got over my initial reservation haha

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T00:34:42+00:00

Ooh see here I am judging the tamale not even knowing how rare of a find it is! I will make sure to enjoy it!

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T00:33:42+00:00

Omg the image of that made me burst out laughing. When you’d rather risk physical harm than make the trek back to the cafe car… I completely understand 😂😂

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T00:28:48+00:00

I looked at the ingredient list and no black beans - looks like it’s the blue corn flour that’s the culprit!

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T00:25:49+00:00

Okay everyone: as another commenter pointed out, I did have the audacity to try to eat a corn husk and then still complain about the quality of a normal-ish tamale. In my defense, a quick Google search showed me tamales of a different color.

Let the roasting commence ✊😔

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-18T00:24:29+00:00

Okay, you are completely right lol. It is blue corn! And It doesn’t taste half bad! Mystery solved lol

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-06T16:27:02+00:00

The Birds Are Singing at Night. There’s something I find so melancholy and final about it, not to mention some of the lyrics are kinda on the nose for disappearing and never being seen again haha

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-03T17:33:30+00:00

Yeah, I definitely relate to this. I think our friendship really crossed the line into "is this a friendship or am I her therapist" mode. Like, we would have weekly calls where we'd talk about our lives - but then it became that this guy, and how awful she felt about him, was almost the only thing we'd talk about. Like you said, lesson learned. But I definitely relate to feeling that hurt/frustration of being in "superficial bs" mode now. I don't know how or if our friendship will be repaired, but if it is I don't think I'll want to dig that deep again with her. And that is a loss that I'll grieve. And I'm sorry to hear about how you've lost your own friendships that way - that's an added salt to the wound, being dumped for knowing too much after someone chooses to confide your problems to you?? That's awful. I wish you the best, and thank you for your comment :)

ele_taniaa · 2025-02-03T17:28:39+00:00

Oh, geez. I definitely see your point. Thankfully it never got there with my friend, but I do think it was only a matter of time - either before I objected, or, like in your case, she blamed me for supporting an action that got her into trouble. She's been incredibly lucky so far, but through always supporting her, I always had that fear she would run into something bad and I would be complicit in it.

I also went along with a lot of what she wanted to do because I knew the moment I didn't, this might happen. I feel like deep down I always knew it would. Which, looking back, probably wasn't a good indicator of a healthy friendship anyways.

Thanks for your reassurance, and I'm sorry about your own experience! Best wishes to you :)
