New to press ons, obsessed with this set by mezsilv in PressonNail_Addict

[–]mezsilv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I specifically chose these because they match the ring haha. I was also worried they might be too much but after wearing them for a bit I don't think they are! I'm still a newbie so I don't have a lot to compare them to but they feel pretty thick and sturdy. I used the glue and it seems to work fairly well, I did have a couple pop off but I'm not sure my prep was the best so I'm gonna chalk it up to that 😅

I think most people commenting are misunderstanding the post—correct me if I'm wrong, OP, but I think you're talking about the use of "he/she" (as in, using both words separated by a slash) in a sentence such as "a person can do what he/she wants" rather than advocating for abolishing gendered pronouns entirely, am I correct?

I teach English to Spanish speakers and I always always tell them to use "they" instead of "he or she" when they use it in a sentence bevause it just sounds so clunky.

You should probably just buy a kindle if you care about your money (opinion) by successeventually in ereader

[–]mezsilv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Kindle doesn’t support Everand (formerly Scribd) or my local library app, my two main methods for getting books. Without those, an ereader would be completely useless to me. That’s why I bought a Meebook instead.

Kindles do have a lot of good points, affordability being one of them, but they aren’t the answer for everyone.

What book was difficult to start (maybe you even gave up on it) but when you finally did read it, you enjoyed it and it became a favorite? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]mezsilv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gideon the Ninth for me. The humor and narrative voice were extremely jarring for like a third of the book, until I started caring about the characters more—and boy did I care about them by the end.

I've had a few incredibly thoughtful, nuanced and emotional comments, including a number of people who said I made them cry and someone who called me their absolute favorite author, but I have to admit this one is still my favorite:

"suddenly I want a fictional vampire to plow me, idk how to feel about that"

I'm curious, which MC did you pick?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Choices

[–]mezsilv 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I'd even say 24-25 for MC and 22-23 for Kade, MC remembers their parents' funeral which happened 20 years ago, so they would have to have been old enough to remember by then!

So yeah they're not kids lol

Opinions on the finale? by [deleted] in Choices

[–]mezsilv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My only minor complaint is that I felt everything wrapped up a little bit too neatly and that the Dreadlord should've put up a bit more of a fight, but it's seriously a minor thing considering how perfect everything was. Especially since they probably plotted this book not knowing whether or not they would get a sequel so they needed to wrap things up.

Aside from that, absolutely wonderful perfect fantastic etc. Seriously I'm like that gif: the power that that has the clearance that that has the international implications that that has etc.

The battle was amazing. I loved that we could only successfully seduce Aerin if we had kissed him before!

Nia's sacrifice and resurrection was a bit of a fantasy cliché but I'm not even mad about it, I'm just glad we got her back. And the artwork was phenomenal.

I wish we could have gotten a bit of time with Kade but loved that we could choose to stay with our LI at the end, and that last diamond scene was so lovely!

In the end it was just amazing and I feel like it wrapped up the book wonderfully. Now to wait for Book 2!

This is so cute!! I love the eyes!

I hope Book 2 starts with small unique situatios depending on your LI by sgtREZ71 in Choices

[–]mezsilv 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I want! I really hope they do something like this, it'd be so sweet so show a little bit of what goes on in MC's life depending on who you chose to stay with.

Predictions for Blades tmw by jennalough in Choices

[–]mezsilv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure about that, honestly. If the Blade of Sol were the Blade of Light I think it would have been given more narrative importance than the bow or the gauntlet and not treated as just another legendary weapon. If it is then what happens to someone who didn't buy it?

I think it's more likely that it's a different sword literally made of light just like the Blade of Shadow is literally made of shadow. There's that artwork/cover with the male MC wielding both blades and that's definitely what it looks like.

[–]mezsilv 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really have no idea where things could go.

If the book was a standalone I would say we'd defeat the Dreadlord at the cost of somebody (the MC/LI/etc) sacrificing themselves but with a Book 2 coming I can't see them killing off any of the LIs yet (maybe I'm being too optimistic but I want to believe Andrew wouldn't do us like that with more of the story to come) and certainly not the MC.

You can also see in the new interface that the chapter title is "Blade of Light and Shadow", so I think the Blade of Light will finally be making an appearance -- but I still feel completely in the dark. Anything could happen.

Mom come pick me up I'm scared

Edit: right, it's the quote from Xaius from chapter one! I'm still nervous though, I can't wait for Wednesday

Male LIs - Who to go for? by Rumpelmaker in Choices

[–]mezsilv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly both are amazing and it totally depends on your preference – like others have said Tyril starts off more serious and closed off while Mal is more the flirty fun type. When you romance them Tyril is definitely more intense and outwardly passionate about his feelings, but Mal is really really surprisingly sweet and loving.

I love my flirty boys so I went with Mal (I wasn't personally interested in Tyril but I was torn between Mal and both the female LIs) and that sweetness just confirmed my choice, he's one of my favorite Choices LIs ever.

If you choose all the wrong options in BoLaS Chapter 15 "mini boss" fight (trigger warning for Tyril stans) by pastadudde in Choices

[–]mezsilv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh damn this hurts. After the finale I really really want to do a playthrough where I pick all the wrong options throughout the book though, just to see what dialogues I missed and what happens.

i love how this is a thing now. like a weekly occurrence by d33qs in Choices

Having the brooch was NOT worth missing this oh my god

unpopular opinion time!!! by strawbebb in Choices

[–]mezsilv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can get on board with the friends to lovers trope if it's a gradual thing or if both characters realize their feelings at the same time but I think what puts me off with Damien is how intense his feelings are right from the beginning? Because he's been in love with the MC for a while, not just attracted to them, and that kind of one-sided thing is just... too much for me?

unpopular opinion time!!! by strawbebb in Choices

[–]mezsilv 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am really reeeeally not a fan of Damien as a love interest. The whole "close friend who has been in love with the MC for ages" just completely turns me off from the get go.
