I’m cat sitting and just discovered I’m allergic to them.

I’m cat sitting as the title says, super excited. I’ve been around cats before and never had much of an issue. It’s been brief, and sometimes my hands have tingled but I’ve never thought much of it.

I played with all 4 cats, cuddling, burying my face in their fur, the works. One of the cats was laying on my legs and the other got jealous and started rubbing up on my face. A little while later? Hives, watery eyes, runny nose and itchy galore.

This is the worst news ever. There got my dream of owning cats with my several dogs.

Took a mild allergy tablet and now I’m better. No bad symptoms or anything concerning. I’m camped out in the bedroom because they’re not allowed in here.

That’s my rant. A rant about how sad I am that if I get cats I’ll need allergy meds or get one of those hairy ballsack lookin ones.

Are there hypoallergenic ones? I’ll have to look that up.

I miss the spring court whimsy

I’m a full blooded Celt hailing in from Scotland who touches down in Donegal for a season a year.

I currently live perhaps 40 minutes from Edinburgh in Scotland, and I can appreciate its beauty and argue it’s one of the most beautiful historical cities in Europe, but good god nothing is like home.

I remember first reading ACOTAR and falling in love with the spring court, for the first time in ages I saw home in a story. Character opinions and biases aside, i genuinely read that first book entirely for the spring court. Yes, it may rain in both countries non-stop but that short transformation from spring to summer is the most breathtaking thing you can experience. And it’s how i imagined Tamlin’s land.

It felt whimsical and fun, and there was Tamlin in his prime with the sexiest redhead ever that I fell in love with.

Then Velaris came, everyone fell in love with that city and the romance but I literally couldn’t enjoy ACOMAF to its fullest potential because I missed my whimsy faerie land 💔 even re-reading it now I’m so not ready to move on again.

The series itself hasn’t left its mark on me — I enjoy it — but the spring court always stuck with me.

Whatever happens in the upcoming books, I hope the lands of spring come back again.

Velaris feels like a shitty college district. Who wanna come home with me???

Favourite KU romantasy?

Hellooo! Asking for what the title says basically. I’m with sapphic or hetero or even MLM, there are no bounds of my love here.

I can lean darker if written well but definitely don’t prefer it per se.

My sweet spot is 450-500 pages and I appreciate the art of a trilogy, it will take a lot for me to commit to a long series.

I won’t grudge YA but I prefer spice. HEA’s or tragic endings are both welcome.

19F I’m back again. Let’s be friends!!

Hello! I’m Martha from Scotland. I like to watch football, read and write. My responses can be infrequent due to time factors but I promise I won’t go ghost unless you are miserable and dull.

There are so rules, apart from the expectation that you’ll be nice and not a tart.

I’m a little worried at the moment. I’d like to have someone to speak to about anything fun and interesting!!
