I’m very very jealous of people who have books that were impactful to them when they were younger, and that started to read interesting books early. Not only did I struggle with learning reading, personal reasons, but my parents didn’t particularly incentivize me and I attribute this to me being such a slog of a reader despite liking books.

- Rarely finishing books or not reading that many a year -

I’m an aunt, and I try to compensate by getting books for my nieces and nephew to keep at my mother’s, who stays with them a lot, but no dice outside short-lived passing curiosity. I know you can’t force it, not trying to, but it’s one of the few things I wish I could “live through them”.

The person I have been fandom friends with since Markiplier in Space came out has not been taking the news of Markiplier getting married well. Since the images dropped of the wedding, she's been doubling down on posting and reblogging thirst posts of him.

I'm still sticking around because I like her fics on Markiplier's fictional characters, but I hope it doesn't spiral into something worse.

I never got into Breaking Bad.

I watched the first two seasons, and found it too bleak, and the characters too unlikable for me to want to follow them.

At least give me interesting lore like Game of Thrones or something.

Supernatural was the worst thing to happen to fandom culture.

It was the great destroyer.

I think LJ going insane and tumblr becoming the main fandom spot was far worse. It was easy to forget Supernatural even existed if you weren’t in the fandom but every fandom was rocked by what went down with LJ.

Health of partner concern

[(Anonymous)]

I am concerned about how to move forward with my relationship. We are currently long-distance, and they want to move in together. There are several reasons why I am hesitant, but the biggest is simply their health. They are quite overweight, around 500 pounds, and very nearly as sedentary as it is possible to be, without being totally bed-bound. (They only get up to go to the restroom or to get food. No trips to stores or anything.) They don't work due to mental health problems and also not really being physically up to it either, and live with their mom. They have high blood pressure, and were prescribed two different meds for it, but, due to not wanting to go to the doctor or to the pharmacy, they aren't taking them.

They are in their 30s and struggle with high heart rate and dizziness from cleaning. And not in-depth cleaning, but mom asked them to clean some of the trash in the bedroom, and it was difficult. I am genuinely concerned about their health, I mean, even short-term that is really concerning to me. They want me to move to them, so that they can escape their mom's house. I am not feeling inclined to blow up my life for this, when I am HONESTLY concerned they won't live for much longer. Like, it's scary. I'm terrified that I may get a call from their mom any day that they've passed away.

And trust me, I'm not in the best shape myself. I am overweight and have high blood pressure too but I do take the medications I was prescribed. I love this person very much, and I want to stay together with them, but I don't know how to handle this. They say they have severe hip pain that prevents them from exercising. They clam up/get angry/make excuses any time I bring up their health, which I almost never do because it is understandably such a sensitive topic. This is eating me alive right now.

I'm really sorry, anon. I've been a reader ever since I learned how, and I'm really thankful that my parents encouraged me. I wish all parents did. I think it's awesome that you're encouraging your nieces/nephew, maybe it will sink in somewhat over time. These days in particular, it seems as though it must be really difficult for books to compete with screens and all the electronic gadgets all over the place.

Re: Health of partner concern

That's a big, fat no. The weight is an issue but the no working, cleaning, or motivation? No. You will be that person's mother until they die.

[(Anonymous)]

I had to stop buying them because of financial reasons. I was forced into it. And honestly? I'm glad that it happened. I have a tendency to hyperfocus on things I want and feel as though I simply cannot live without it, but I have been forced to see that oh yes, I can in fact live without it and it's been freeing in a lot of ways. Plus, I don't feel like I have to play to get my money's worth out of the battle pass.

This is wild. I won't ever understand people getting this parasocially invested in the lives of strangers. Having a minor reaction when they hear about something, sure, but doubling down and not getting over it in a few days? That's wild.

[(Anonymous)]

I watched a few episodes, but I couldn't get into it either. I'm really a baby when it comes to gore and violence, and like you said, it was just so bleak and depressing. I didn't feel motivated to keep watching, so I didn't.
