yes, that's all the names!! I liked valiant best.

Holly Black wrote some others waaaaay back in the day, I think they were called the Ironside series? the first book of the trio was called Tithe, I loved it.

Cassandra Claire's other books don't have nearly as many fairies as the dark artifices, but they're still good.

i dont think they degrade-- I had Ben at 7 hearts for two seasons and no change.

You're welcome! my first playthrough I played sooooooo many games of darts because I couldn't handle how sad Mint and Arlo were

You'll have to get the apology bear from Django's store and give it to them while they're still heartbroken. I think it's different for each character if they forgive you or not.

I told my very new boyfriend that I had tore a hole in my dish gloves, and I was going to buy another pair on the weekend when I went shopping.

he came by the next day with a pair of dish gloves because he didn't want me to go without.

it'll be three years married on the 19th.

she definitely knocked me off of my feet.

I hated talking to parents when I started and I still hate it 15 years later lol. however, i did eventually get better at it.

I practiced with my co workers, and then physically stood next to the door so parents walked right by me. that way, I could start the conversation easily (this worked for me since I wasn't in ratio, ymmv).

I also turned back on my cashier voice, and I found that helps a lot. I sound so delighted by everything and so disappointed when things go badly and it's all so fake.

I have such a soft spot for 60s and 70s pop and rock, so either Janis Joplin or Meatloaf lol.

told my husband one time that I needed him to use his listening ears.

it is actually Pearl from the movie based on the book Lonesome Dove!

the chicken didn't live long.

that happened to my oar fish 😩😩

wow that thing is OLD. good find, thanks for showing us!

ate less food, moved around more.

it sounds so silly when put plainly like that, but that's what I did. I used an app to figure out how many calories to eat so I'd lose weight, and then started exercising.

it's boring, it's hard, and it's a looooooong process. but, someone on reddit told me-- it's hard being overweight, and it's hard to lose weight. choose your hard.

the whole concept of this one scared me as a kid lol. I was so confused, I didn't even know this was a thing to be afraid of!! I think it influenced my 'being chased' nightmares.

lol now I know your pain.

eh, it really was for me. I realized it wasn't the furniture-- it was the fact that I was living my life, perfectly happy, while he felt that we were in the 'waiting' period of growing up. while I can look back and see that yeah, 23 year old me was still a baby, at the time I felt so insulted.

it was a realization that what we wanted in life were two very different things.

I had that problem on prime! turns out that for some reason, the double-length episodes were considered a different TV show. they're under a DIFFERENT Steven Universe heading, which only had like five episodes (however many long episodes there were).

it was confusing and i paid $5 to watch Lapis's first episode on my most recent re watch cuz I couldn't figure it out in time lol

grown enough. we were living in an apartment, we both had jobs.

red flag for me. it wasn't even just the furniture-- what did he mean by grow up? that comment made me realize that we weren't on the same page, and maybe never had been.

it took forever tbh. he was my first real love, until he wasn't. however, in the years that followed, I found someone who is so much better for me. we have a horribly mismatched house full of second hand items.

I left mine open while going out for a smoke, but only missed one day. HOWEVER the one day I missed was one of the new special ones from 1.6 , one of the most important days (I don't know how to do spoiler text lol). I'm STILL waiting for next summer so it'll swing around again.

nah, nothing really changed quickly. but it was a moment where I realized i don't think I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

we lasted another six months lol

we were casually talking about the future-- no real plans, just kinda chatting about what we would like our lives to be. I was like 23, he was 25.

all was good until he told me he was excited to get real living room furniture. I was confused-- what were we sitting on then? we had a couch, two arm chairs, coffee table, and big old entertainment stand. I asked him to explain.

he told me that all our furniture would eventually be junked, so we could buy the huge matching set of couches, arm chairs, dining room set, curtains, the whole fucking house. I asked him, what about the cool stuff I find at thrift shops?

"well, that will stop once we grow up and get married."

I realized I hated the concept of having such a matchy-match house. AND, silly me, I assumed we already were grown up and living our lives.
