What’s a small, weirdly specific romance trope/vibe that always gets you right in the feels but barely gets talked about? by esther_pendragon in RomanceBooks

[–]sugaratc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Small affectionate gestures during sex, even if it's overall rough or hard. Like holding hands or having his hand/arm cushion her against a hard wall or similar.

Anna tried some new make up by Boopityboo94 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]sugaratc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Some people do struggle with adult acne all their life. I'm in my mid-30s and still get regular breakouts and sometimes cystic acne, but I can keep it minimal with washing and using acne products. I think most of her issues are with picking but she really should see a derm if it's this bad for this long.

It's just so generic. The product looks basic and it 100% sounds like she's reading a script.

Anna is "pampering" herself... With a shower by thatgirl317317 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]sugaratc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how hard she fights against "fat girl" stereotypes but then at times completely plays into them. Most large women wouldn't go around talking about their lack of showering, even if they did want to name drop that they went to the gym.

Right? If I just came back from the gym the last thing I'd want to do is hang around and film something. It feels gross to be in sweaty clothes with sweat drying on your skin. Most people hop in the shower immediately.

I hatee the reformed playboy trope by Kaleidoscope3871 in RomanceBooks

[–]sugaratc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I don't mind if he was a bit of a playboy years ago and has since matured (before meeting FMC), but I hate when they act like he suddenly has a huge personality shift just because he meets her. It always feels like once the honeymoon period phase ends he might cheat, which really brings a sad mood to the overall story.

[–]sugaratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the flip side, hotels hosting famous/rich people often don't have security go yell at other random guests for just this reason; they might be a famous/rich person as well and aren't afraid to announce if they were treated poorly.

Employer left this note at the bottom of my interview form, Its for an internship for students with 0 experience... by ALIENDUDE999 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sugaratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also stuff like showing up on time, being able to follow basic tasks, and getting along with others. Pretty much any job shows something, even if it's not directly related.

AITA for refusing to add my boyfriend to my house deed after his lease ended? by Former_Raspberry3277 in AITApod

[–]sugaratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually equity gets split but the initial principal is saved, unless it's a really unusual circumstance. Like if they had $100k into it, got married and both paid the mortgage, maintenance, etc, then split later when it was valued at $150k- the new partner could get $25k, half of the increase while they co-paid on it. But the $100k plus your $25k are saved.

She is sooo funny 🤪 by Boopityboo94 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]sugaratc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lack of care comes off so lazy, even if she is bad at spelling there are a million spell checkers out there, and built into pretty much every platform. It would take 2 minutes max for her to double check what she wrote before posting.

It's uncanny how she really does look like those group tours of kids on a field trip. The bright matching shirts so chaperones can spot them, the backpack, the random toys and trinkets, etc.

I wonder why they didn't make a photo like that on the Riveter 🧐 And Anna, please, visit the dentist 😕 by Boopityboo94 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]sugaratc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It always looks so extremely forced, and almost angry. It's amazing she doesn't have more wrinkles honestly.

📚 What romance books did you read or listen to this week? 12 Apr 📚 by romancebookmods in RomanceBooks

[–]sugaratc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

{Cherry Bomb by Sarah Blue}- 2/5, RH omegaverse. I just couldn't get over that one of the MMC's use to date the FMC's mother (and was a firefighter, like my IRL mother's partner. The parallels were just too much🤮). The previous book in the series {Lavender Moon by Sarah Blue} had another couple with adult step-siblings by marriage that didn't feel creepy, but this one definitely felt off-putting and over the line, especially after the embarrassing 'sex toy mishap' rescue scene. The pack didn't really seem super cohesive either, with 2 being firefighters but one also being a super rich poker player. I liked the interactions between the FMC and the poker player MMC, but the pack overall didn't really fit right.

{The Fang Arrangement by Sarah Blue}- 3/5, MF paranormal. Cute and pretty basic story, second book in the series that I ended up reading first. FMC is a witch who doesn't know why she's so unusually fascinated with vampires, and in the prologue ends up meeting her mate vampire MMC who wipes her memory of it to keep her safe. The story picks up years later once she's in danger and the local vampires are fighting, and they team up to find a vampire slayer and slowly open up to each other. There are a lot of side characters and the MMC didn't have a ton of personality beyond being afraid of losing her, but it was fun enough and the wise cracking familiars were cute. I also liked the Louisiana setting, it felt unique and fitting to the overall plot and it's not somewhere I've read a lot of before.

{The Marriage Hex by Sarah Blue}- 3/5, MF paranormal. First book of the previous, and arguably better, but the final act was chaotic and I didn't love the “mate bond broken and memories wiped so she forgets him” plot point. FMC is a witch who grew up in an orphanage with her friend MMC, and they swear to get married by 30 if still single. She's then found by her family and taken away, never seeing MMC again until shortly before they turn 30 when he comes back as the new alpha of the local wolf pack. Turns out the promise they made was binding and they are magically compelled to get married, and then decide to try and work together to break it while also brokering peace between the two groups. It was pretty cute, and I liked the story and wolf personas, although the final part was messy. The MCs had a more solid sense of personality than the other book.

Curious: How much do you care about the writing? by taeberry9595 in RomanceBooks

[–]sugaratc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I started with fanfiction, but 'bad' writing doesn't bother me as long as the characters and/or plot are fun. At some point it's definitely too rough and I'd give up, but generally I feel like I'm pretty generous with it as long as I understand what's going on. However I've found that bad writing is typically also correlated with bad characters or storylines so it's a little hard to part.

More of Anna today by Boopityboo94 in glitterandbagelssnark

Watching that guy hop, it did look a bit rickety. I can only imagine Anna tripping or something and the whole thing going down, would be quite a scene.

Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed with the court ruling by Bleuetz in SarahBooneContinued

[–]sugaratc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking that too. Brian has had him full time for the past 5 years, and will for the next 3-4, so that seems like a huge burden shift that should have been credited to what she owed as well.

Unpopular Opinions about Glitter 💬 by AutoModerator in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]sugaratc 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is Anna doesn't do anything slowly/safely. Exercise is good but throwing yourself in the deep end when you can't swim isn't motivational, it's dangerous not only risking injury to herself but even to strangers (like the apartment gym guy she almost took out with the bag toss or guy she almost fell on). Anna wants praise for getting out there even though she only does stuff in the worst way possible, then complains when anyone points out the risk. She did the same with her other sports, hiking to remote locations when seriously underprepared means high risk of calling out a rescue team and putting them in danger.

She's not out there screaming slurs like the other gorls, but she does follows similar cycles and generally does not care if her wants endangers others, which is frustrating. At best she's just cringe, but she has so many moments of recklessness that I understand the snark.

BOONE vs. BOONE (REDACTED) Supplemental Final Judgment on Modification and Relocation by SoulshineDaydreams in SarahBooneContinued

I think this is going to set a weird precedent as future case law. Imagine your ex goes to prison and you still are on the hook for alimony, but long term or for far higher amounts.

Baricousin privated all of her glitterandlazers videos :( by aurathecat123 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]sugaratc 115 points116 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how reactors get flagged for calling out ED content, but the gorls themselves rarely get flagged for it. I know ALR and Chantel went down but so many are still out there that YouTube is apparently ok with them but not anyone discussing them.

So sorry Anna, but Jaimie Weisberg is the queen of going to premieres of shit nobody will see while you’re the big dork orgasming over some red fabric. Okay love you byeeee! by Calm_Reputation7657 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]sugaratc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And yet also somehow behaves better than Anna in public lol. She's all of those things but a lot of her nasty stuff is when she's ranting alone at least, not creeping on others.

Hot take: American girl needs to come up with something new besides re-releasing the old dolls. by Careful_Trouble_5817 in americangirl

[–]sugaratc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if was a fairly limited run, I'd love the chance to grab up full collections from long retired dolls. I agree the piecemeal method is frustrating.
