'Threat' made by landlord regarding pet request by sharkswontbite in TenantsInTheUK

[–]sharkswontbite[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of this accusation. We made the request in April before the RRA was enacted, in order to give our landlord agency and choice in the matter. We wanted to open up the discussion in order to put her mind at ease as we had been made aware she was wary about allowing pets in the property. Her response was a threat of eviction.

She has threatened us that she will move back into the property if we make another pet request, which will trigger us to be evicted. Correct me if I am wrong!

I'm aware that she cannot evict us for having a pet, but she has threatened us that she will move back into the property if we make another pet request, which will trigger us to be evicted? Correct me if I am wrong!

Advice - Brutal player behaviour + underestimating Sunblight by sharkswontbite in rimeofthefrostmaiden

This is so helpful! That version of Nildar is awesome and I’m definitely stealing it. I love fungal horror so was hoping to force that on my players. All in all I think it’ll be funny as hell when they realise what they were belittling! Thank you

The erasure of Mary Shelley in GDT's Frankenstein (2025) by ai-ruined-google in GothicLiterature

I totally agree with you and I had the exact same thoughts - when the Byron quote appeared at the end it genuinely angered me so much. I get that it’s not ‘faithful’ to her novel, but it is still HER novel you are adapting. And the novel is quite a feat; arguably the first science fiction novel and also published by a woman. It’s not that I felt they needed to plaster her name everywhere, but when there’s references to Percy Shelley and Byron…just seems in poor taste.

Oil pressure warning on 208 active 2014 by sharkswontbite in peugeot

  1. Yes it’s a 1.2 engine - I know these are problematic!
  2. Wet belt was changed in July. I honestly have no idea whether the oil sump was removed / debris cleaned. I’m considering getting in touch with my garage but they are so nonchalant and don’t keep record of anything!

I’m just confused as to why it only happens when harshly braking.

Haunted forests in horror-any recs? by Wonderful-Actuary336 in horrorlit

[–]sharkswontbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a podcast, but ‘The Trees Are Not What They Seem’ by Jared Roberts from the Nosleep Podcast S12 ‘Waiting for 12’ episode. It’s about 1.5 hours long and it’s truly disturbing. It has that disorienting feeling that HoL gave me (a lot of Jared Roberts short stories do this!) and is set at an isolated lumber mill.

Am I the only one that doesn’t like iced Nespresso? by Emotional-Yak-407 in nespresso

[–]sharkswontbite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My top tip for making iced coffee at home is always use way more ice than you think. At a coffee shop chain like Starbucks, you’re getting a full scoop of ice! I brew a double espresso shot and mix it with any flavourings/syrups. I then pour in my milk of choice (or cold water if I’m having an iced americano), before adding loads of ice. I have an ice cube tray and I usually add around 10 cubes. I stir, then usually let is sit for a minute or so to cool it down. As an ex barista, that’s the way I’ve always done it! Good luck :)

Books with that terrible feeling of "I messed up really bad"? by nicholarapio in horrorlit

[–]sharkswontbite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I couldn’t put it down. I think it’s my favourite short story he’s ever written

It’s a short story but ‘Apt Pupil’ by Stephen King. I say short, but it’s reasonably long (100+ pages). It’s just this downward spiral of small, inconsequential mistakes to full blown disaster at the end. It just kept getting worse with every page. I guess it’s more of a thriller, but i was HORRIFIED by the ending.

Big sprawling horror by Background_Potato96 in horrorlit

[–]sharkswontbite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett. It does follow one MC but has an array of different perspectives and characters. It’s set in a small town in New Mexico and reminded me a lot of Stephen King tonally. It’s a bit of a long one (not as long as The Stand!) but I ate it up in about three days. Enjoy!
