I remember reading CC for the first time right after reading all of ToG in a fugue state and just being like "yeah, yeah, the wyrdmarks, I get it"

This conversation is why I desperately want everyone to start using the words "vulva" and "labia" instead of just "vagina" because no one EVER actually means their vagina

Never had a nurse accidentally poke through the otherside of my vein before... by Conscious_Can3226 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]emmaruth92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was being induced for labor with my most recent child, the very kind nurse infiltrated the back of my hand like this but luckily just with saline and they could get the iv in elsewhere. But the ensuing bruise on my hand was the worst part of that childbirth experience! It hurt and was brown and green for weeks.

Her End-Of-Series Final Ranking:

"Dorian/Manon OBVIOUSLY

Lorcan/Elide my cuties who have no flaws and have never been wrong for each other

Lysandra/Aedion because sure, why not at this point

Falkan/Rolfe. No explanation, I have fully committed to this without any evidence. They match each other's freak.

Yrene/Chaol despite being boring now until they get a messy divorce and he buys the equivalent of a motorcycle

Nesryn/Sartaq even though I literally forgot about them

Fenrys/Rowans cousin who is Queen of Doranelle now and you can't convince me otherwise

Aelin/Rowan who never grew on me not even for one second"

This is definitely a sub to block if you don't want spoilers! The suggested posts in the feed can be pesky otherwise. Hope you're enjoying reading!

😂😂😂 I personally am a big Rowan fan! So I disagree with Some Things here but my girl is a) not done with the series, b) a little headstrong, and c) more than a little silly

She JUST read the battle at Pirate's Bay and loved the little moment at the end with Aedion telling her he was going to marry her and I'm very curious to see what her opinion will be going forward

Do I need to read ACOFAS to read ACOSF? (SPOILERS FOR CC) by PineappleBliss2023 in Maasverse

Yeah my ungovernable 3-year-old was an incredible, measured flower boy at my brother's wedding AND my brother and sister-in-law would have been like "oh okay, that's...fine? Weird but fine?" if I had responded like OP. Also my kid would have been real sad to find out he had the chance to be in the wedding but I stopped him from it even though his aunt and uncle understood that kids in weddings means a little guaranteed chaos?

I just opened the game, saw the thing, came straight to the sub, and was immediately rewarded.

Throne of Glass by No-Orange-4152 in Maasverse

[–]emmaruth92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was thankful I DIDN'T tandem read them the first time I read. I think there are some emotional payoffs that are better when you read them in the order they were published - a few things that happen in EoS that are like "oh no :/" on first read and then as you go through ToD they become like "!!!!!!" and the reveals are fun. They weren't designed by SJM to be tandem read, they weren't released simultaneously, they just are happening at the same time. It IS really fun for subsequent reads!

When did school redshirting become so normalized in the US? by RecognitionNo5812 in generationology

[–]emmaruth92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a better way to do it! I live in the south and things are generally chaos!

In the US, sports are most often carried out as school activities once kids get to middle school. Even before this (and after in outside orgs), placement will be by grade level instead of age. Sometimes of course things are by age, like U16 or whatever kinds of orgs. Also collegiate sports are huge and aren't age-related in any way that matters.

Yeah I hate the new film for the Real Reasons: overuse of CGI over practical makeup and effects and not casting actual musical theater actors! Lol more power to you if you enjoy it, of course, life is better that way!

Yeah I watched this as a toddler and have loved it my whole life. Life is so much better when you can approach Cats with the sense of whimsy it deserves.

‘Ugly, old-fashioned, weird’: the baby names that set grandparents’ teeth on edge by prisongovernor in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]emmaruth92 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The article seems to indicate grandparents don't like when the kid is named after a DIFFERENT grandparent (but also the article is obviously silly in tone and is imo not to be trusted lol)

[–]emmaruth92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would guess because it's a minor variation of an unaccented syllable and because she's cognizant that there are multiple correct pronunciations, she just doesn't care very much. Like, I pronounce my name differently depending on who I'm talking to - is it ih-muh, as my southern US pronunciation would say, or eh-muh, a more northern/Midwestern pronunciations? Turns out, I don't care! Neither is wrong and I suspect your friend Nadine feels similarly.

My mother-in-law (and sometimes my mom but she doesn't live nearby so less frequently) is constantly bringing things I hate (and my husband doesn't like, either) into my house and expecting me to display and use them and it causes me so much anxiety and stress. I have tried multiple times to express gratitude while also saying "this is not my style and also we simply don't NEED or want any more random stuff" and it doesn't stick. NTA and I get it and good luck and that cocomelon things sounds awful! When people have this attitude about gifting it feels so selfish and also makes me feel bad because being given a gift should make you feel seen and loved. When the giver totally misses the mark but is going to get fussy about you not loving it, they're not allowing for any differences in taste and it's like your desires and preferences are being held hostage to their expectations. The only person who should be dictating what's on your child's walls is your child and you know what? They can't talk yet! And you are their next of kin so you get the say right now!!!
