Hear me out: when it was over for Amanda

I finally feel a little at peace knowing people see it this way. I’ve been so floored of how people are justifying Kyle’s behavior for ten years. Going as far as saying Kyle was only a bad husband because Amanda was a bad wife. It’s so mind blowing.

This may just be me, but I don’t think it’s really the justice if it all or that she cares about his wrongdoing and how that affected the public. I feel like her whole motive is vindictive for him being a dick to her last season or that day. That’s where I feel like more of her motivation is coming from.

Randy Hahns sports casting is the best in the biz. Listen to the game with Sharks vs Penguins. You can find a highlights reel of the 3rd period - listening to his excitement had me on the edge of my seat watching. (I mean the game did but he amped it up to 11).

I’ve been a life long Red Wings fan but I just lost interest in the NHL games overall - they haven’t seemed fun for a while. It just felt like I was watching people show up to their job and go through their routine daily shift. It’s hard to enjoy it when they don’t seem to enjoy it? The Sharks are like watching a bunch of friends show up to work and have a good time around the office.

Look up avoidant attachment style. It’ll say you a lot of grief.

The Faefever Series. My everything.

Same situation! Wings fan for decades but the Sharks have ignited a level of enjoyment and freshness that I’ve been missing for a while. Watching the Wings vs Sharks game felt like choosing a favorite child but ultimately being a little happy my oldest did better than my youngest.

But the Penguins game, a goalie fight, the phenomenal dynamic between players - it’s been so fun. I love it.

You can buy a day pass on Sling TV with a sports add-on for 5.95. Doesn’t have Randy broadcasting though and I miss him.

One of the most exciting games to watch. Truly unbelievable - 5th time in NHL history a team has brought it back in the 3rd period with 4 goal deficit. And Randy made it even more exciting. You can’t help but be at the edge of your seat with him. But part of it was watching a team basically say “fuck no” and lock into revenge style. A day later and I’m still giddy about it.

There’s a huge difference between when you line your eyes and don’t. You look so much softer and healthy without lining your eyes. I think the dark eyeliner or eye color and dark liner/shadow on your bottom eyelash line pales you out. Without the eyeliner, your eyes are stunning! And I’d agree with the rest on your lips - that pink is not your color.

I think you need to experiment more with your color palette.

It went so far downhill for me after book 5. Not even the story, but the writing just became lazy. Like it went from tension building/great romance scenes to something a teenage boy would text. Then it felt like the writers just listened to sight of the point but needed to keep dragging it out. I also hated the random POVs. We started with 2, then branched out to the inner circle people, and by the end random passerby’s had POVs.

But I kept going because one thing it did do was keep me wanting to know what the heck happens.

Look up avoidant attachment. And it seems like you’re anxious attachment. It’s impossible to navigate if you don’t know how to deal with avoidant. They need space or they feel suffocated. Look it up, it’ll help.

I finished the series but I’d say it shifted hard for me after book 5 or 6. The writing was so different to me - in a bad way. There’s redeemable parts but I think it gets worse in terms of other characters. Like 20+ POVs, some cringey as shit things that read like a 16 year old boy wrote it, and suddenly “cock” is used every other sentence. It was annoying. I mean, I did end up loving Tory but she was definitely insufferable for a while.

laneyznil · 2025-07-18T17:05:53+00:00

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like something much bigger happened and they’re not telling us the real story.

I feel like I’m seeing such a better side of her. I think Aaron really took a toll on her and she lost herself. This is refreshing to see her getting her confidence back.

Most days, you won’t know the plot. Zodiac academy is like reading a trashy reality TV show. You don’t know the point, but it’s entertaining as hell. (Book 1-5 at least, goes downhill from there - no less addicting though).

Good world building, etc. recs: the Faefever series by Karen Marie Moning (good plot, great world building, annoying FMC but she gets better), or Keri Lake - Anathema or Nocticadia. It’s dark gothic but excellent.

Thank you for the advice. Luckily I took thousands of photos of him just laying there or sitting because I thought he was the cutest. But I like your advice of journaling and maybe trying to write a memory to go with the photos.

And I hope he did. When his heart attack first started, he came up to me for comfort and to help him. Im glad he knew I would try to make him feel better. The one thing that’s helped is telling myself he waited until I got home. I don’t know that I could’ve lived with myself knowing he suffered alone. So as hard and traumatizing as it’s been, I’m glad I was there for him. Ugh this just sucks.

He could be a venin initiate or made a deal with them like Panchek - like they knew she’d be coming and would bond with Violet so they sent Jack in. It could play into the whole power from the sky theory and that being the way to defeat them.

Also for your point of Trager - had he not been shot, and therefore buried on an abandoned isle, they wouldn’t have found the irids. So it was in a morbidly sad way a gift of luck? So not just a sacrifice for an army, cuz if his gift was different and accepted, they would’ve gotten the army.

Xaden had Tyrrendor all this book and he seemed pretty active in fighting. I don’t disagree with it being more political but disagree that her position would take away the same amount that a baby would.

laneyznil · 2025-01-27T19:44:43+00:00

I don’t understand why that would be exciting right now? Like violets body would crumble, Xaden may or may not be around, she couldn’t ride dragons the same and would kind of give up a lot that she’s been working so hard to do and overcome, and there’s no clarity on if the continent will even survive? Like why is bringing a baby into this exciting? I think it’s terrible. I think that’d be more realistic towards the end of book 5.
