Have you seen this entire thred?

[(Anonymous)]

I have no idea what you mean by that, so I will :D

DA

Damn, that's crazy; I thought he was just raping. To be honest, I really thought he just raped her for the normal (bad, evil) reasons, as an act of pillaging. I thought he was a pathetic and sad character, which his regret only reinforced for me. It was a little uncomfortable for me (which I figured was the idea) but didn't hate the episode because I thought it was funny at the end when Geralt just walked away saying something like, "You can kill yourself if you want. Bye." I thought that was a kind of interesting fatherhood moment because it showed that he considers that type of behavior worthy of ending a friendship over and acting very cold towards someone, but did not kill him for it or anything. I don't know. It was interesting for me to think about what it was like for a sheltered young girl to witness that.

Well you gotta admit, this secret certainly isn't getting ignored.

[(Anonymous)]

Well I've been on here long enough to know how sensitive people get about not commenting. All we can do is get the popcorn and read the shitstorm.

[(Anonymous)]

A+

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed \o/

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah sorry I had a cat in my lap trying to rub herself in my face because she's in an affectionate mood.

Hope all your favorite fandoms stop posting fanfics and you have nothing to read except squick fics.

[dani_phantasma]

Yeah it stresses me out too sometimes and I tend to overthink about why they disliked it and I torment myself about some stranger possibly thinking I'm this awful person or how they HATE me. Aughhh also it messes with my ADHD in another way, screwing with motivation to work on my stuff

I don't even fault people for disliking it , I'm annoyed with the site for shoving it in my face.

[dani_phantasma]

Yeah it also frustrates me a lot because I'm often putting a lot of work into these whole comic pages. But it is what it is. I try to see the positives.

lol.

I was gonna say, I KNOW there's a way to turn off notifs. Mine have been off since I created an account. I hate being emailed about every little goddamn thing so I've been trained (by LJ/DW ironically) to shut down as many notifs as possible. I only get them for comments, because I get so few that having one notif every couple months isn't onerous.

OP, take a moment to curate your space before you start screaming.

Re: My aroace people, how do you deal with being the 3rd wheel?

[(Anonymous)]

When I hang out with couples I'm never the third wheel. Usually the girlfriends/wives hang out with me and we kinda force the guys to hang out with each other lmao.

Aww omg

For some people, it really is a struggle. I don't personally have that struggle, but I've known enough shy people that I recognize that it's hard for some of them to "talk to strangers" even if it's just leaving a comment from one pseudonym to another pseudonym. Also going from some people I've known, some folks think of their fave fic authors much like celebrities, and are intimidated at the thought of actually speaking to them.

Or, as I said, it could also be motivation/mental state on any given day (sometimes I want to leave a lengthy comment but do not have the spoons to pull my thoughts together coherently; I try to go back on another day to comment), or culture (a lot of younger readers grew up with social media, where there was always the "like" button to show that you approved and you didn't have to think of a response).

As much as I do appreciate comments, I recognize that there are a lot of people who just are not going to leave them for some reason or another, and thus I appreciate the people who do click the button to let me know they liked it.

I may be waaaaaaaay out of the loop on musicians but I would assume there's a physical fan-mail or agent address for Enya that you can write a letter too? I know she's wholly out of public contact and never performs live but if there's anyone who would still have some sort of publicist to which fan letters can be mailed, she seems like the most likely.

What are you out, a piece of paper and international postage that is probably under a dollar? It may just end up in an office somewhere but at least you've put your thoughts on paper that may, someday, be appreciated. Very low stakes. these days, I'd rather write an old-fashioned fan letter than an email or comment to a website that will almost certainly be seen by the wider world. A physical letter is between you and the envelope, and maybe the recipient if you're lucky.

Re: Weekend Plan

[pantswarrior]

The ones I adopted are quite settled in and relaxing and living their best life!

...The ones I started fostering last weekend have been getting in little fights today for some reason, and I'm wondering if I'm going to have to separate them overnight. -_-

[(Anonymous)]

Not so congrats on not understanding the idea that you can care about people who aren't like you...

[(Anonymous)]

Doesn't mean you have to join in, my dude.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt Eh, I get get really anxious. It's been diagnosed. It isn't going to stop me from saying thank-you to people who've put themselves out there. Life has to be lived, both irl and online. Politeness, pfui or not? Not, in my case.

Re: Do you speak more than one language?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not fluent but I can passably communicate in Spanish and Japanese, and I have some versed learning of Irish Gaelic. I have a degree emphasis in linguistics so I love langauge - my senior thesis was on Gaelic, hence the knowledge - but I also grasp the functionality of it and how it intersects with social issues. Conlangs are fanscinating but functionally useless, while learning another language in order to function in another country in any capacity feels, to me, more valuable. I would become fluent in Japanese if I could ever move there to live. I would make the effort to learn Swedish or Danish or god knows what other language if the country in question would take me as an immigrant. I'm eternally angry that my schooling in Spanish was Spain Spanish when Latin American Spanish would be 1000000x more useful right now. I'm also annoyed that human brains don't like to be trained in multiple languages past a certain age because "doko wa el ban~o" is not a sentence I need popping up every time I need to pee in both Mexico and Japan.

Re: My aroace people, how do you deal with being the 3rd wheel?

[(Anonymous)]

Not aroace, just weighing in from a perspective of when I've been the single in a room of couples, hope that's OK. I would be comfortable with this if I was friends with the couples, and could hang out with each person separately. Couples who I don't know, who are more likely to hang out on their own, I would be shy around. What you described sounds awkward unless you're very confident around strangers. I would totally go for this if I knew everybody or even most of the people but in your circumstances I'd pass!
