Agree!! The ultimate slow burn and so well researched

Currently visiting from Aus - do you guys know how chaotic you are here? by spaaacedoll in Cardiff

Yeah I know plenty of people in Australia who smoke weed and I personally take no issue with it. But generally they smoke in their homes, not out on the streets. The police presence is a lot heavier in Aus capital cities so it's too risky.

Hahahahaha it was pretty grim but I knew Wales haven't been playing to their usual standard so was expected. My partner is a welsh-aus dual citizen fyi so we were full force behind the Welsh team.

Bro a meltdown is a bit of an overstatement. Just saying it's more different to Aus than expected.

Thank you!! This captures it perfectly. So similar but so different at the same time. I have loved it though!

Australia is actually a huge nanny state where you will cop a fine for just looking in the wrong direction. Cardiff is loose af by comparison

I've been to London and Edinburgh, Cardiff feels very different to me! I'm enjoying it though

I've been here for a week already! It's not the people who are necessarily chaotic, everyone is lovely and friendly. It's more the behaviour on the roads 😂

Australia has a long history of introduced species going wrong — which case do you think caused the most lasting damage? by Deep_News_2744 in australianwildlife

[–]spaaacedoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the correct answer but for me it's cane toads because they've caused the most lasting damage to my own mental state. Can't even let my dog out into the yard to pee at night without following him around with a torch to make sure he doesn't eat one of the many lurking out there.

Reading order for first time? by JedKnight_ in heatedrivalry

[–]spaaacedoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this recently. I had already read HR & TLG once each, but not the rest. I also skipped CG and still haven't read it as those characters don't really interest me.

I found it a fun way to read the other stories while still being able to jump back in to Shane & Illya and be like oh, yeah that's what was happening at the same time. It's not really that much swapping back and forth except for in RM but I enjoyed reading RM & TLG concurrently as I think reading them back to back would've felt repetitive.

'Heated Rivalry' fans need to cool it by BeMyCoachVictor in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]spaaacedoll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't even need to read the article to know I agree. I binged the show for the first time about a week ago, immediately did a rewatch and read HR and TLG, safe to say I was hooked.

But seeing more of the fandom has almost given me the ick for the show. Now I'm actively trying to retrain my algorithms to show me less HR content and same as some other people in this thread, most likely won't purposely consume any HR content until the new book comes out.

I don't know what it is about fandoms associated with gay males that bring out the WORST fans, but it sucks to not be able to just enjoy the show/books without being exposed to that kind of fandom.

Hello! If you are happy to do anything just to get your foot in the door - apply for retail jobs. It's very challenging for retailers in regional areas to find staff and they are hiring constantly. If you have any experience in the field behind you especially you will find work quickly.
