So, I know they ain’t cheap, but who would consider getting one of the limited editions of Blood of Iax when it comes out in September?
Wives of tumblr, please aid me.
Hahaha!
earlier on my twitter feed:
*sweats*
This ‘funny’ joke in the community where women resent their partners’ spending needs to fucking die.
I’m not sure they resent it though? I suspect it’s more of a “be responsible with your silly plastic addiction” thing.
(We all need to admit this addiction is silly — it’s okay and nice and we love it but in the grand scheme of things, it’s silly).
I told my husband to be careful with his silly plastic addiction.
Until the bastard got *me* sucked into the hobby and now I have to be careful with my silly plastic addiction!
I did the same with @40kshadesofpink. But another problem arised from that : Now we have to buy for two!
@adallhisausterenhost, I don’t think anyone in this thread is being facetious when they say they’re checking with their wife before splurging £40 on a fancy book, which seems about right to me.
Even more if you’re in the colonies. It comes out to about £50 in the US. £46 in Canada. And £51 in Australia. (65USD 80CAN and 90AUS respectively) thank the emperor for free shipping.
@a-40k-author Like I said, I’m not commenting on the specifics of resentment, just this repeated ‘joke’ in the community where women are long-suffering harridans who resent their partners’ hobbies. It’s not funny.
However, seeing as you’re here: £40 is too much for even a nice copy of a 40k novel, Jesus Christ. And an extra £10 for Australian customers is insulting (albeit less than the usual GW markup for Australians). I know you don’t set GW prices (and I like your writing!) but that price point is crazy cakes.
Oh, ok! I don’t think anyone made this kind of comment in this particular thread, but if you’re simply referring to the often (or sometimes?) heard in the local store “my wife is mean, she doesn’t let me get it” then yeah.
Frankly if your wife is a Harridan:
You got bigger problems then just affording a new land raider.
There’s probably a fanfic about that out there. At least, I hope there is.
