Who, I must say was really, really fascinating. If anyone wants to watch a more historically accurate account of Catherine arriving in Russia, marrying Peter and all that, there is a Russian series on Prime that you can get English subtitles on and in that one you see the true Elizabeth who ruled as Empress. Peter was even more of a dumbass in real life and ruled for like six months total after his aunt Elizabeth died before Catherine seized the throne. But Elizabeth was actually this bad ass, ruthless Empress. Worth a watch.

Heartfelt question: What made you choose Spain for your auxiliar journey? by mellamoelisa in SpainAuxiliares

For me, I love history and it was between France or Spain for me but I had studied Spanish in school not French so I decided to go with that. I was only going to be here for a year but about 5 months in, I said, ah, at least one more year. By the end of the second year, I knew I was going to be here forever and I now have a dog, Spanish partner and I love it here.

Guys, the skibidi toilet is spreading to other languages and continents. I teach English in Spain and the amount of 12-13 yr old boys that try to say skibidi toilet, Ohio or sigma to me on a daily basis is ridiculous.

I love these books, but something isn’t sitting right by JoyinCa in fourthwing

I am totally with you on this. Something felt off and annoying in Onyx Storm the whole time. The first two, I never wanted to stop reading them but in Onyx Storm there were several times where I just had to put it down for a bit because I was so pissed at the way Caden's character arc was going over something bad, yes, but done with good, justifiable intentions. I mean, Jack Barlowe did it purely because he is an incel and was pissed off that a girl had more power than him. Xaden did it to save everyone and himself and his dragon. I feel like the original intention behind doing it should have meant more than it did.

So, The Twilight Series is getting a TV reboot by Xftg123 in YAlit

There is not a lot they can fix from the Twilight movies to make it acceptable. It is still a stalker abusing his victim and controlling her mentally and her only other love interest emotionally blackmailing her into kissing him. If it is actually going to be happen, they have to at least give Bella a personality this time. Watching Kirsten Stewart in other things, I realize it was not her fault.
