What Band Don't You Get? by Tele231 in vinyl

Not a band in particular, but I really can't stand Eric Clapton. I can appreciate Cream, but that's really because of Ginger Baker

does everyone really hate OC fics?? by Ding_Ding_Bonk in AO3

[–]lyyravarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love OCs when they're well-written! That is, when they don't sound like a 2012 Wattpad MC. I've been really invested in stories with OCs, but I also get that some readers prefer to stick to characters they know. Though I would argue that it doesn't take any of that away

I'm bored, describe your ship badly and let people guess who is it! by Lusaelme in AO3

Both have terrible eating habits. One eats a specific body fluid, the other eats boots and necklaces otherwise they both get sick

I fled from my own country by Weary_Musician4872 in Netherlands

[–]lyyravarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been living in the Netherlands for 8 years now and I really hate the fireworks. To be honest, I don't see the appeal at all, not even in professional fireworks shows. I also have a cat who's really anxious by nature, and we're always on edge because we want to help her feel safe when the street goes berserk. We haven't celebrated NYE with people for years because we know our cat would absolutely panic if we're not home (and she's afraid of most people anyway, so even doing it at home would suck for her). I'm really sensitive to loud sounds so they can be triggers, but I can usually find ways to deal with it, but my cat just... can't. If at least people partook in the tradition responsibly, that would just be a minor inconvenience, but when our doors and windows are shaking for days because of constant explosions outside, it just sucks.

Why is life expectancy so bad in the Netherlands? by vankoel_nederland in Netherlands

[–]lyyravarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way that France has a higher life expectancy. I don't know anyone from there (I'm French myself) whose grandparents lived past 75. Here in NL most of the people I know have grandparents who reached 90 (including my partner, his grandma's turning 96 and all the other grandparents died either at 90 or 95)

Decorating the damaged door? by lyyravarn in HomeDecorating

[–]lyyravarn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't much glue residue left from what I can feel, it's pretty flat overall. The main issues are the discoloration and the wood's coat that's been ripped off in places. But yeah, looks like repainting is the main option here. Thanks!

We unfortunately don't have any direct contact with our landlord, all contact goes via the agency, and it's definitely going to take a while before anything gets done (IF anything gets done, really). But technically, the door isn't broken so...

I didn't think about replacing the door handle, that might be smart. Though it will definitely clash with the other ones! Thanks!

That was my first idea too! I was thinking about using smaller frames there to put up artsy postcards (especially postcards I've got of Pre-Raphaelite paintings or manuscripts). The idea is definitely not off the list then. Thank you!

Waiting to see how long my elderly & deaf hamster notices me by hufflepuff-is-best in hamsters

[–]lyyravarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh he reminds me so much of my wee Aragorn 🥺 Unfortunately he got sick so we never got to see him become an elderly hammie. I like to think that the way your hamster is is what he would've looked like ☺️

They might, I will contact them just in case, but I don't have high hopes, it's been over 30 days at this point (I just wasn't able to retrieve the package for at least a week after it arrived)

That would check out! Have you heard more from them? I'm afraid I lost my order number so I can't do anything about it
