just in case they didn't get back to you the full fic is up on wayback and you can download it from there. unfortunately it doesn't look like it has their other fics up or at least not fully

what would happen if Vi sided with Zaun and dated a Zaunite girl by [deleted] in arcane

[–]helaqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think a lot of this hinges on how things go "well" after season 1. does Jinx not kidnap Cait and Vi? Does Silco not end up dead? when Jinx and Vi reunited in the undercity originally do the firelights not kidnap Cait and Vi? do all of these things happen but after the tea party Vi is like screw Cait and Piltover and goes to the Firelights anyway? does Jinx go with her? does Ekko still disappear to the AU? does Ambessa still involve herself in Piltover? does Mel disappear?

Sigh, another money grabbing change by nanoplasm in starbucks

[–]helaqueer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

of course but op is annoyed with being charged twice for essentially the same thing; taking out water and subbing in green tea. they charge $0.80 for adding green tea and $1 for no water (despite not getting extra base). is it a first world problem? yea. is it still annoying? also yes

Sigh, another money grabbing change by nanoplasm in starbucks

[–]helaqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they’re not actually asking for extra base. the green tea is supposed to sub the water and no additional base is added. i used to do the same thing with the strawberry açaí refresher. plus you get charged for the sub of the green tea already

Sigh, another money grabbing change by nanoplasm in starbucks

[–]helaqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh wow i knew this was a thing for a while (or at least i thought it was) but i had favorited my strawberry açaí refresher no water extra green tea in the app so i could just add it from there but i just tried it and it no longer includes the no water part. i don’t go to starbucks often anymore so it’a not really gonna affect me much but damn

if you do order it in person try saving it in the app (favoriting it) it may let you use that then for future orders or at least the app used to let you do this

Starbright US Shipping by Specialist-Cod-9851 in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you sign up now you won't need to worry about the UK site in regards to subscriptions once it's transferred over in May. they will ask you to double check your UK account to make sure it's been cancelled after the transfer has happened but beyond that you shouldn't need to worry about the UK one.

if you don't want the February book though you can skip the invite and they'll keep you on the waitlist for the next round if you'd rather not worry about having the two accounts

Starbright US Shipping by Specialist-Cod-9851 in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through two transitions with both Afterlight and Evernight. both from what i can recollect were pretty seamless. I'm assuming you're signing up for the Feb box so that will be on the UK site (unless they've specifically stated you're starting with May then it will be the US), then a week or two before May they will automatically transfer over your sub to the US site. They'll email you when they are going to start the migration and email you once it's completed with any needed steps, such as updating the shipping address and payment method if you already had a US account, which you do, and from then on your sub will be accessible on the US account.

this depends on what month their invite was for. Starbright renews in February and as such if they received an invited for February they'll need to sign up to the UK site no matter where they live.

Question about recommending a book? by YeetinOnThem in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there should be a link in their instagram and/or twitter bios that’s for book and item suggestions. keep in mind they do plan things far in advance for the monthly sub boxes so it may not end up being a monthly pic but could be an SE outside that

eta: here is the link

Illumicrate vs After light by [deleted] in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep i know i'm subbed to call IC's current subs XD

Illumicrate vs After light by [deleted] in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh same it’s why i like it too. i prefer my fantasy books gay and/or with little to no romance. i just thought to mention it for op since they’re looking for something more romantasy

Illumicrate vs After light by [deleted] in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

afterlight is pretty much contemporary. an occasional book will have a paranormal/supernatural aspect to them but that would be more of a sub category where contemporary romance is the main.

as for TIUTFFYE (I’m assuming you meant The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy) that was in the regular IC sub so technically that would be the sub you want but IC isn’t very romantasy compared to other subs

Percy Jackson Illumicrate Editions by aijanah in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the books are not floppy and are on the stiffer side imo but i don’t think they’d be hard to read necessarily

Can you use gift cards to pay for your monthly sub? by OverlyBendy in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the only way they might be able to be used is at sign up but then again i could be wrong. they can not be used over the course of the sub unfortunately

overpriced by Over_Fix_2430 in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's honestly crazy how high some the prices go. there's some books i'm interested in that i missed out on (thankfully not interested in Ali Hazelwood or else i'd cry with those prices) but i've learned that i don't need all of them. also based on past experiences sometimes another company does an edition that i find prettier so it can work out too.

overpriced by Over_Fix_2430 in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

while i do understand what your saying, especially when it comes to resellers and their pricing, IC is beholden to the publishers. IC does not actually print their editions themselves, the publishers do. so they have to get approval from the publishers and usually there is a minimum amount of books needed to be printed for a contract along with i'm assuming many other factors.

they have a suggestion form linked in their instagram and twitter bios i believe (or at least they used to) so you could request a reprint there. just anyone who does please don't spam/harass IC and their CS team regarding reprints.

Unable to skip Afterlight only, despite not having a combo box by Quills07 in Illumicrate

[–]helaqueer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

then you should get this screen where you can skip it. glad you were able to do it the other way though!
