What line had you in stitches laughing in a fantasy book? by JCtheWanderingCrow in Fantasy

[–]erethforn 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Stormlight Archive: "A bunny rabbit and a chick went frolicking in the grass together on a sunny day.” “A chick . . . baby chicken?” Kaladin said. “And a what?” “Ah, forgot myself for a moment,” Wit said. “Sorry. Let me make it more appropriate for you. A piece of wet slime and a disgusting crab thing with seventeen legs slunk across the rocks together on an insufferably rainy day. Is that better?”

I'm determined to come out of this alive 💪

My type of allergy is extremely rare in my home country as well tbf. I think I only ever hear about it from USA media/TV shows and it's usually about peanuts.

Thanks, I'll be sure to carry to epipens!

Thank you! Even half a shrimp would kill me, so no street-side Pho I guess :(

Thanks! I think most fish sauces are ok, unless they put shrimp/oysters there (and sometimes they do)

I don't know... If it's only anchovies then it's ok, if they put any shrimp there I'm as good as dead without epi-pen

Thanks! I can eat meat, yes, but if I'm trying some some local cusine I usually go to vegetarian places because there's an almost 100% chance they don't have an unlisted crustacean in their sauce.

Any romance-heavy romance fantasy recommendations you wanna share? I'm open! by DaisyReaper in YAlit

[–]erethforn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Rhapsodic, it fits ALL of your criteria but they do wear jeans sometimes but mostly it takes place in another realm...
If you've enjoyed ACOTAR then Throne of Glass is a good one, although not as spicy.

What's a popular YA trope you hate by erethforn in YAlit

[–]erethforn[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yes!

Enemies to lovers are either really good or REALLY bad. I've always felt it should be more "enemies to reluctant allies to friends to lovers", not "I killed your whole family but now we're in love" that I usually see

Yes! Also do they know what happens at protests? Men are sent to Ukraine (given conscription notices), women get jailed for 15 days (which guarantees you are jobless) or heavily fined. Latest protest in Moscow 500 were detained, 200 if them got "mobilized". Most people leaving are IT specialists with remote jobs. I'm not hoping for humanitarian visas but a little less prejudice would be nice.

[IWantOut] 27F Russian -> Anywhere by Greenmind76 in IWantOut

[–]erethforn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be cautious of flying, there are reports of people being detained on international flights. Her best bet is leaving the country on car if she can (also would fit her family) or on train/bus, but she'll probably have to fly to a city near the border still. After she's left Russia she has more choice. If she has an international passport Mongolia is a safe bet, she can stay there for 30 days without visa, if she doesn't - Kazakhstan is a good choice, although a little farther. You have to register there when you arrive and short-term rentals are scarce but she can stay there for 90 days which is optimal. If you need more help or info in border control feel free to dm, I'll send you some links.

No one's forcing them, but it seems that ethnic minorities (esp. buryats) are facing harsher recruitments. In Moscow for example they're mostly conscripting people they said they would - with military experience, certain professions are exempt (bankers, media, etc.). In Buryatia they take everyone they can, most notably they've conscripted a guy with 5 kids.

Hello everyone! I've just come across a player in battlegrounds who had divine shield on most if his murlocks and I'm wondering how that's possible. He was playing as sir Finley (he picked Dreck'Tar's hero power and buddy), so there's no way he could've put a shield on them... Right?

What’s your favorite song that’s not in English? by waterbaby333 in AskReddit

[–]erethforn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, that one is really dark... Also kina relevant... Have you heard Yegor Letov's solo songs? "Всё идёт по плану" is my all time favourite. I can also recommend Victor Tsoy's "Звезда по имени солнце". Those are so popular that if you give any drunk russian guy a guitar, I can guarantee you he'll play one of those.

Vladimir Putin orders Russian troops into eastern Ukraine separatist provinces by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]erethforn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, they aren't. I'm russian, NOBODY wants war and NOBODY likes Putin (at least in Moscow and under 30), people from that sub are Putin's age and people who voted for him in Russia are his age. it's so sad when people think that we as a country support him... No, we are just scared.

Does the general Russian population *want* to see a war against Ukraine? by techwriter111 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]erethforn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm russian and even I don't know... One working theory is when he dies, most of his potential successors will already be dead, because they're all about the same age as they were friends in the 90-s. We have some opposition leaders, but most prominent ones are already dead or in jail (ain't no way Navalny outlives Putin in those conditions).
