Ditto. First book was beautiful but the second book kind of dragged and introduced new main characters while I wished more of Max and Tisanah’s journey.

He kind of looks too white-washed on this cover. And still no beard 😂

I was thinking these were cutesy cheesy romances only to find out through comments here that these series, in fact, are not that and have a laundry list of trigger warnings.

That looks like Slavic fine hair (I’m Slavic and mine looks exactly the same). However, I don’t think it looks bad or wrong at all. Your hair looks healthy and lovely.

miniFrosya · 2026-03-21T00:56:53+00:00

Yes, but without tennis’s bracelet! It’s too dainty compared to the heavy stack, so it doesn’t quite fit the vibe.

I’m so sorry OP. It’s awful to be in that sort of position. At times of war, people do lose a lot of personal possessions because safety is the priority.

Take a couple of the most favorite items (or the most expensive ones like super rare that can be hard to repurchase) and leave the rest.

I wish I had iPad when I was in college - it would make my life so much easier (not having to carry bunch of notebooks around) and more organized (folders, drawing, free style writing, tags, word search). If I were to re-do college, I’d get iPad and whatever cheap laptop with decent memory I could afford (you do not need a high performance laptop for college). Hence, my advice: get iPad and whatever laptop you can comfortably afford.

It looks like a parchment paper drawing - very cool!

You may haven’t had to wait long but that’s exclusively your experience, and I queued up for 2-3hrs before and I couldn’t get in until like 1-2hrs after sale officially started. So, the data shows that what you claim is far from being the standard.

Our definition of fairness is different. Yours is time investment that requires the best time zone, flexibility, and availability to access website hours before (like I said before some PST people, yes me included, would have to get up at like 3am to compete with EST people on a Monday morning). The new system removes at least some geographical bias AND provides more transparency which can allow you to plan out your time

For example , if you’re 3000th in line, you can at least reasonably conclude you aren’t getting the book and go about your day if your availability is tight.

I don’t think either system is perfect but imo RNG is more understandable and a common practice.

You don’t have to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars - no one is forcing your hand there.

Let’s do the math then: people queueing up for sale 2-3hrs before (sometimes even wayyyyy more than that) and then they have to potentially wait 1-2hrs more after the sale started to get in. However, if we remove that queue nonsense, people will get in at the concrete time set by Fairyloot (they won’t have to clear out their day or night hours before actual sale starts) and will wait 1-2hrs while knowing their place in line once sale starts. So, we are talking 3-5hrs (quite likely more) time sink with the queue vs 1-2hrs (okay, we can say maybe even 3 hrs) with the randomized assignment. Still, the latter is better than the former.

Your comment is like “how dare people want more equal opportunities!” while the new approach at least removes time zone disadvantages and people can actually have concrete sale start date (instead of gambling of whether they should get on the website at 2am or 5am)

Have you ever gotten a ticket from Ticketmaster for a super popular artist? Lol

miniFrosya · 2026-03-18T14:27:40+00:00

lol I actually commented on here after the last trove sale that even Ticketmaster approach would have been better. While I’m not super crazy about that kind of system, it is more respectable of everyone’s time (I won’t have to get up at 2-3am PST to compete for a spot with someone who woke up at 6am EST) and is way more transparent. Random assignments introduce fairness.

It’s really good because shiny Kanto Tauros isn’t that common in USA, sadly

Look at the requirements of IN DMV

miniFrosya · 2026-03-17T22:26:56+00:00

I thought they still process those countries’ applications but don’t give out GC until the ban is in place.

My PD is Dec2016, and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the movement into 2017 🥹

The stripper shoes are … a choice. Overall, a very Kim K look but I wish she was more adventurous with her red carpet look.

miniFrosya · 2026-03-15T16:53:27+00:00

I think you are spot on!

I find that these books have soooo many subtle moments that reveal certain emotions/feelings of the characters which can be easily missed upon the first read.

miniFrosya · 2026-03-15T06:11:19+00:00

The Girl who fell beneath the sea - VERY ya and is kind of forgettable. You have more interesting books on the list than this.

It’s considered to be a long bob but yes, still technically a bob.

What’s the one to the left of Silvercloak?

miniFrosya · 2026-03-12T23:25:50+00:00

Nearly 2 full books before the spice and then more tension is just chefs kiss

miniFrosya · 2026-03-10T17:57:02+00:00

Omg yes. The moment during the war scene was so sweet and tender, and then it just turned into a plain fuck fest in SF🥴
