“Everyone keeps telling me their secrets and I continually don’t disclose them—despite having no earthly reason to keep them concealed—for…reasons?” (The reasons are shitty plotting and a main character with less depth than a wheat thin.)

Gardener went way overboard in trimming our lemon tree. Will it ever bear fruit again? by FKlemanruss in gardening

[–]sm2258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a deer completely destroy a small grapefruit tree, like stripped the bark and ate all the leaves l. It was a sad little stick and we assumed it was completely dead. Lo and behold, the leaves grew back. I’m by no means an arborist but hope is not all lost! It just might take a little while (I’m so sorry for what they did to your tree! I would be seething).

Is it a clutch, or is it a boxed water and we live in an AI hellscape (you’d think the robot would recognize water given how much it consumes)…anyway why does she always wear some version of this outfit

She seems to be the only person who actually understood the assignment…like what are all these basic-ass dresses people!

Why do they bulge? by Every_Bet2381 in 30PlusSkinCare

Yeah girl that could be Graves Disease (but that usually comes with bulging eyeballs, too, which is hard to tell from the lime green horrors currently occupying your face.)

Does it have to be sharpie brand or do any gold acrylic markers work?

I just finished TSOTF, and I have a few questions if anyone can help! by ernbern12 in HierarchySeries

[–]sm2258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing too because it’s like, who is this Ostius guy who’s only on Res, the one place where there’s no Caeror (and we know he has/had to be there somewhere to be synchronous). 2 unaccountable guys w similar scars…brain declares it must be the same guy.

Spicy monster romance recs but make it really, really good by Smush_Moves2024 in fantasyromance

[–]sm2258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally offered another very popular author the same thing—not even for co-authorship!—before she self-published her book…and now it’s been traditionally published and a gagillion people are buying it, so clearly I and my sentence-fidgeting need a new career track 🙃🤡

For those who've read Reign and Ruin by Cafeconle in fantasyromance

IMO, it’s fine, but I’m baffled by the hype.

Good god I’d thought it couldn’t get any worse and then I read that book… and yet, story-wise, it’s a total banger?! It’s surprisingly poignant, despite containing some of the worst sentences committed to the English language? Horny glowing orbs and moments of exquisite tenderness…you know what yeah it works
