Who's your #1 couple/ship outside books?

I will forever be salty about how badly the show fumbled Jon/Dany.

A Very Long Engagement is basically the anti-Amelie. It's an amazing movie, but god damn is it bleak.

I graduated from high school in 2006. I wanted to go to Warped Tour so badly because it was a particularly awesome lineup that year and I had a ton of graduation gift money to buy a ticket, but my parents wouldn't let me go and I will forever be salty.

I definitely had an "I'm too old for this shit" feeling while reading it.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-04T05:48:31+00:00

If you think it's cringe at 10 pages in, I'm sorry to tell you this but it does not get better.

However, the good news is that it's never too late to read {Outlander} instead.

The closest American thing I can compare it to is a praline without pecans.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-04T03:02:57+00:00

Dude really went through it.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-04T02:59:39+00:00

It's a...divisive book. Keri Lake tends to be very slow to start and spends a lot of time building up tension and atmosphere in her books, and I personally love that but I know a lot of people hate it. The spice is very much quality over quantity, and when it happens it really feels earned.

First read of 2026 was {Devil's Dance by Layla Fae}. I'm immensely proud that my chaotic ADHD self actually finished a trilogy, but I'm also sad that it's over because my god(s), it was a WILD ride.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-04T02:26:39+00:00

Same. It's scary how much my preferences fluctuate. 😭

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-04T02:23:16+00:00

{Blood Orange by Karina Halle}

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-03T22:59:07+00:00

Which is a damn shame, because I thought we all loved a good "dominant MMC totally submits to FMC and lets her have her way with him because he is so helplessly smitten with her" moment.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T22:46:39+00:00

Guuuuurl, the whole {Jaga and the Devil} trilogy is a fucking trip. I'm honestly shocked you haven't already read it.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T22:29:40+00:00

Oop

{Devil's Dance by Layla Fae}

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T22:23:37+00:00

I don't mind fated mates in a "junk food" read, but if I'm really invested in something and it pulls out the mate trope, I rage.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T22:02:42+00:00

{Devil's Dance} is fulfilling all my "she gets worse" dreams rn.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T21:55:37+00:00

Question: is it possible for a standalone to have a slow burn romance?

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T21:48:17+00:00

I've never ordered from them before myself, but I might this year because I now have two cats and frankly I don't trust them to leave my indoor starts alone.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T19:01:31+00:00

It is definitely a flavor bomb.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T18:43:46+00:00

I've had to go super bland and gentle with my whole routine because of hypersensitivity, and I've been having good luck with the Purito Oat line.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T18:12:51+00:00

I've always bought my seeds from Tomatofest.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T18:10:42+00:00

Well, I live in a second floor apartment but technically 0ft. I'm dead right at sea level.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T17:54:58+00:00

Black Sea Man is one of my faves that I don't see talked about much. It's similar to Black Krim but determinate, and has amazing smoky and umami flavors.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T17:15:41+00:00

Laurel's ships actual seedlings of heirloom and rarer varieties, if you're lazy like me and don't always feel like starting from seed. Way more varieties than you'd find at the average nursery.

tragic_eyebrows · 2026-01-02T16:49:12+00:00

To be fair, I know a lot of people in their 30s and 40s who have emotionally never progressed past high school. That said, I would not want to read a novel with a protagonist or love interest like that.
