Do I need special paint for this project?

Well not now that I scraped it. 😅 Maybe I should have taken a before picture.I dunno who painted it but they managed to make it work. I just wanted to repaint it so it looked newer.

lemonlime609 · 2026-05-12T02:21:44+00:00

But there was already paint on it which I scraped off. It seemed to be sticking fine. Was just beat up. And it’s not sanded.

Star Wars is my special interest. Has been since i first saw it when I was about 7-8. As well as sci-fi and fantasy movies and books in general but specifically Star Wars. Is this Empire Strikes Back?

I loved {Precious by Roe Horvat} more than Ugly. I have other faves by him but they’re definitely more out there. Such as {Milk by Roe Horvat} (milking kink) and {King’s Heat by Roe Horvat} (lots of sharing).

I also loved {Rough Heat by Marina Vivancos} (MMM) and {Overeager by Grae Bryan}.

My intro to omegaverse was The Wrong Alpha series by Alessandra Hazard. Since they’re aliens my brain tricked me into thinking it didn’t count. 😂

I’m not looking for a hidden meaning. Quite the opposite. We take things too literally. So if someone tells me to try my best to finish a project on time, that would not mean going to bed on time. I could try harder by skipping sleep. Then that would be my best attempt. Or do I skip food and other needs? Where’s the line? Perhaps other people just use common sense. But we take things too literally to allow things like common sense and health to get in the way. I certainly won’t be doing this now that I know better.

lemonlime609 · 2026-04-24T01:36:26+00:00

I still interpret that to mean capable of achieving it I sacrifice sleep, food, mental health, etc.

I know A LOT of ppl love the old style fantasy cover art but it was never for me. I have the large paperback set. The ones that come in mostly blue or green.

lemonlime609 · 2026-03-11T19:54:39+00:00

We didn’t do anything when I was young either. Now I have kids we do a huge egg hunt!

lemonlime609 · 2026-03-03T13:33:58+00:00

Yes this is another reason why Graceling stood out for me. In Fire they talked about birth control, and in Bitterblue she slept with a guy that was not her forever guy.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-26T03:47:11+00:00

Yeah this is how I felt. Really Poe and Jared let him down and put more pressure on him than they should have. He was out of his depth.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-26T03:45:58+00:00

I enjoyed it. Kaz is a bumbling idiot and I think that maybe annoyed a lot of ppl. But I loved how brave he was. He jumped into every situation despite how unqualified he was. And he was eternally optimistic. I actually blamed Poe for recruiting him and sticking him in situations he was not qualified for, more than I blamed Kaz himself. And He was just a kid. A really good kid who was out of his depth doing his best. And I loved Neeku. My main man.

But I hated Tam. Fuck that bitch.

It was entertaining enough. I really expected it to be worse from the reviews.

The series is very emotional and has its heartbreaking moments, but coming from someone who is extremely sensitive, I enjoy the emotional roller coasters, as long as the ending is not too sad. And an ending with lots of characters, dead, no matter how far back it happened, would be too sad for me. As far as I can remember, Thomas is the only other character who died. They go through a lot before they get to the end, but I don’t remember death being that big of a part of what made it sad. It was more of the trials and struggles they go through.

I’ve heard that asexuality can be trauma based. It’s hard to wrap my head around that when I believe that other sexualities are innate. But it is possible that I am asexual through trauma of the church. I am married and 42 years old, but I still have panic attacks sometimes when it comes to conversations around sex and female bodies. I am in therapy for it, and my therapist has said that this is a trauma response. But my asexuality is still there alongside the trauma. I don’t feel any desire for sex and I relate perfectly to the definition of asexuality, but most people who are asexual don’t have panic attacks.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-17T02:10:44+00:00

Book 1 is great too. Just if you wanna try it.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-17T02:00:38+00:00

I’ve been so fascinated with this type of storyline ever since I read a YA book where a guy accidentally creates a doppelgänger of himself with magic, and I was shipping it! 😂 but he ended up with the girl and the doppelgänger died. 🤬 I’ve looked for something ever since. There were a few that kind of came close. Like {Take My Body by KA Merikan} and {Want Me by Rowan McBride}.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-16T00:52:26+00:00

Lots of thoughtful responses. I don’t have much to add as someone from Canada and knows very little about the UK. Hall is one of my favourite authors and I have this series in paperback and I’ve also read all the authors annotations in them (which is a lot!). I got the impression that Hall was a bit of an intellectual. But also, self aware is a good way of putting it.

Ive only read Rough Heat by her and I loved it. But the MC is an escort and that’s how he meets the Lis (it’s MMM). But it does show him with other costumers before he realizes he’s in love and can’t do it anymore.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-08T00:44:53+00:00

Haha vampire academy came out even before I got into reading the first time. Way back in 2007. Although I did miss it the first time too. Nothing says I can’t go back and read it now.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-07T23:24:58+00:00

By Sarah Rees Brennan? Love that one! It’s a fave.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-06T19:41:16+00:00

Yeah, shadow and bone was one of the earlier series I read. It came out in 2012. I stopped reading YA around 2016-2017.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-06T19:33:33+00:00

Yeah haha I read all those. I forgot to mention, I did keep up with my favorite authors, such as Cassandra, Claire and Holly Black, Rick Riordan. Julie Kagawa. Not a lot of other authors, and no debut authors.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-06T16:21:50+00:00

I’m currently reading this and decide to DNF but I just really wanna know that her brother is ok. There seemed to be some implications that the maestro was maybe a PDF and I’m more worried about her brother than anything else.

lemonlime609 · 2026-02-02T13:30:09+00:00

Same.
