No. Should I?

Depends on your spice tolerance and if you like fantasy, but if both are high, I recommend

Sooooooo question

Anyone read Throne of Glass?

YES

[Akimikoisthecutest]

Would you all like some Brandon Sanderson facts?

Spoiler

When Brandon Sanderson finishes a book, he doesn't use the save button; the computer uses the "Brandon Sanderson" button to save itself.
Brandon Sanderson doesn't get writer's block. Writer's block gets Brandon Sanderson, and he uses it as a minor plot point in a novella.
When a character in the Cosmere needs to achieve a sudden burst of power, they aren't using Stormlight or Allomancy; they're channeling Brandon's daily word count.

Brandon Sanderson can divide by zero, but only after outlining the entire mathematical system it creates.
Some authors take years to write a single book. Brandon Sanderson once finished the Wheel of Time series using only Robert Jordan's notes and still had time for four "secret projects".
Brandon Sanderson's novels aren't actually written; they just appear on the page because reality is trying to keep up with his outline.

Brandon Sanderson doesn't need a search engine for research; he just writes down what he
thinks happened, and history corrects itself to match his lore.
Chuck Norris can roundhouse kick a wall down. Brandon Sanderson can roundhouse kick a plot hole shut.
The speed of light is the maximum speed anything can travel. Brandon Sanderson's writing speed is the speed light wishes it could travel.
Brandon Sanderson once arm-wrestled Father Time. Brandon won, and now there are two Novembers in his publishing schedule every year.
Brandon Sanderson doesn't need the Metallic Arts to be a Pulsing Iron Compounder; he just walks into a room, and the weight of his published works pulls everything towards him.
If you spell "Brandon Sanderson" backward, it doesn't spell anything; it just finishes writing your current manuscript for you.

Brandon Sanderson can write a 400,000-word novel in less time than it takes George R.R. Martin to write a grocery list.
When a Fused tries to possess a Kholin, they end up getting a three-volume outline for their own character arc instead.
Brandon Sanderson once finished his daily 2,000-word goal using only his mind, dictating directly into the cloud, which then spontaneously generated three new Cosmere planets.
Nightbloods don't ask, "Hello, would you like to destroy some evil today?" of Brandon Sanderson; they ask him to please slow down his word count before he destabilizes their entire physical realm.
Brandon Sanderson doesn't need to Soulcast matter; he just finishes a draft, and his editor transforms it into a bestseller.

Smh most of it's for straight people.

And it could never rival the plots I come up with in my head.

Alright, I'm not saying gay stuff doesn't exist, but that's honestly not my real gripe with the genre. I feel like the combination of high fantasy and romance/erotica just makes both worse. If I want a good romance, I'll read a romance (or create my own in my head). If I want a good fantasy story, I'll read high fantasy that's known for being a good fantasy story, not a good romance.

This reminds me, I was wondering to myself earlier whether Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey did more damage to society. But that's when I remembered: Fifty Shades actually started as a Twilight fanfic, therefore, Twilight is responsible for all damage that Fifty Shades did.

Hiiii

I'm so sorry I didn't answer this when you asked it, but I'll see what I can do.

 

And if anyone else has issues with dysphoria, feel free to read this as well.

So, dysphoria suuucks, I don't feel it as much as I used to, but damn used to be bad. The main things I would do to help were to put on gender-affirming clothing (I would be locked in my room) and to listen to music I enjoyed. (My most common pick was "Finale" from Undertale) Sometimes, I would just use force of will. I would talk to myself and say "I am a girl" (obviously you might have different affirmations) to myself, and stop myself from arguing.

Edit: Hawks (Are we supposed to call each other by our Ookla names? I'm not sure.), I am amazed at the coincidence that we posted our responses at the same time.

Thank you very very much for the advice, I will give it a go!

I’d rather read a good romance and a good fantasy than a crappy combination
