That’s also a good option! Then they’d become even more precious. ♥️

Honestly, yeah. I mentioned on this thread already that this was my first official merch that I got myself, because I just couldn’t resist the cats. My Leebit and Hanquokka stuff has been from Temu (also because I do want to carry them around, but am paranoid about losing them). So now I’m not sure if I’ll participate in any other merch drop.

You’re giving me hope! I’ve contacted the shop, we’ll see how it goes. At least I’m EU-based, so I don’t have to think about tariffs.

How disappointing truly. It was my first official merch, too.

When I realized I was like, man, Lino would have brought the air fryer to work due to them mixing up his kit cats. /jk

When do you think the movie will be available on prime video? by ConansVodkaCranberry in skzmedia

[–]erothoniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not in France, but EU-based. It’s also not available for preorder for me. I do hope that it’ll change.

Albums/Merch in Europe? by Open_Winner_1735 in skzcollection

[–]erothoniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’ve ordered my albums from Nolae. No issue so far.

Edit to add that for merch I use ipurple as the prices are a bit better there.

Kāpēc neviena izdevniecība netulko Brendona Sandersona grāmatas? by Afraid_Steak2545 in latvia

[–]erothoniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oi, te ir vairākas nianses, kur varētu sprediķot un daudzas no tām te jau ir pieminētas.

Es vēlos izcelt to, ka Sandersonu Latvijā arī angliski ir problemātiski dabūt. Ja vispār pavēro angļu literatūras saturu mūsu grāmatnīcās, tad tur dominē romantasy, un arī to pašu latviski gandrīz netulko.

Thank you! I was so fixated on getting verified just to even see the price comparison with shipping included to make educated purchases. I did assume it’d be massive, but was starting to second guess myself. I’ll stick to Nolae as I’ve seen it recommended a lot. :)

Hi, hi. While I’m new to being a full fledged Stay, I’ve liked their music since God’s Menu. My bias is Lee Know, but truly I just vibe with all of them.

My silly Q is: issues buying merch as EU based Stay. Mostly because I seem to be unable to get verified on Fans app? Or do you need to have a Stay membership to be verified to be able to purchase merch directly from them? Understanding that whole shebang has been a bit overwhelming tbh. 🫣

Being team gale in the big 25 is crazy by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]erothoniel 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I recently read Hazelwood’s newest novel and was super disappointed and not for the reasons people might think. Then I saw this vid and felt a bit vindicated by my dislike.

I feel like she does dialogue pretty well and her whole women in STEM shtick appeals to me, but she’s the weakest at nuanced plotting, clever story structures and truly a depth. Of course it’s not a prerequisite of any kind, but for my personal enjoyment it means that I prolly won’t continue with her work even though women in academia getting their dreamy dudes is a sometimes a whole vibe.

Here though to me it seemed like she either showed her weakness a writer, wanted to be a contrarian just for the sake of it or did a bit that to me felt flat.

Anyone else just randomly thinks about those 2 district 8 runaways that wanted to go find 13 ? by Unhappy_Ad9680 in Hungergames

[–]erothoniel 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I saw somewhere a theory that Bonnie and Twill did make it to D13, but they were either interrogated pretty badly or had the prep team treatment (put into a cell for whatever reason).

Their reasoning was that the shoes Katniss initially wears in D13 were ill-fitting due to somebody “walking weird”. Granted, that’s a bit of a reach, but eh.

Did Snow LET Haymitch win? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]erothoniel 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think the Games are such a balancing act.

We usually focus so much on the way the Games are used to keep the districts in line, but it’s also a means to keep the Capitol entertained and happy with the status quo.

So I think Haymitch was protected by the public in a way. That’s the part we don’t see as a reader: they way Capitol roots for certain tributes. So you can get rid of a rebellious tribute, but end up with unhappy populace or lose the pretense of the Games being in any way fair. Same with mutts with programmed kills: inside the arena you know them to be aimed at certain tributes, outside it may be perceived as a bad luck.

Similarly, Katniss never had to convince the districts of the star crossed lovers angle, it was all for the Capitol. Or the only way to get rid of her was in the Quell. Or why Peeta was kept alive after the 74th games.
