Kind of based on 3

[(Anonymous)]

What silly things break immersion for you when watching or reading something?

Re: Kind of based on 3

[kaijinscendre]

When people don't say hello or goodbye on phones.

Re: Kind of based on 3

Hard to describe, but I hate it when a scene I'm reading just ends with a someone saying a dramatic cliffhanger sentence (queue duffduffs). Then it picks up with the same characters different day and you *never get any payoff for the cliffhanger*. I keep feeling super cheated. IRL there's no magic zoom in to shocked face: cut to new scene - you have to somehow field responses, leave the room, etc. I get it in soap operas but get *so mad* when it's chaptered narrative. Freaking finish your scenes!

Not quite breaks immersion but definitely distracts me when they have kids in the fic but no details. Like what age they are, who the parents are, if they do anything and dont mention who is watching the kid while they are off doing stuff, etc.

Obvi not just any kids but I mean when they write in one or both characters being a parent/caregiver/guardian.

When the wrong type of language is used. If they're characters from any historical era before, like, the 1870s, they should not be using the words "dude" or "totes." Victorian ladies of class would not be referring to moon powers as if they were 70s flower children.

Anachronisms, like potatoes in mediaeval Europe. Of the latest one, Shakespeare's wife hawking with a Harris hawk. Did the filmmakers not realise that falconry nerds would be interested in the film, but pick up on an American SW hawk being used? It made me giggle, which I presume is not what they were going for.

Re: Kind of based on 3

Anachronistic names. Unless they're so egregious that I know they weren't going for realism. I can watch Xena and accept a Gabrielle in Ancient Greece because it's Xena. But I can't watch a movie from 2000 set in the modern day with an adult woman named Madison without wanting to scream.

Canon inconsistencies!

I'll come up with a work around so I can keep going, but "having" to come up with that work around takes me out.

Weekend Plans?

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

It is going to be cooler here this weekend so I'm hoping I can go on a longer walk that usual. Not really doing anything unusual. Though, Sunday we will have some family over to eat spaghetti for Easter (we don't do much).

Re: Weekend Plans?

[dani_phantasma]

Probably finishing up the last leg of my IT fundamentals course so I can get to the next ones and take less time to get to certification level. Working toward getting certification for IT computer jobs so I can land a remote job like my brother has.

I finished a good chunk of the first course in like... a few days since starting the coursera course. It would be so cool if I could get a whole course in by the time the free week trial is up. I've been so excited about this since I started . I really think I could go far in this career if I learn it well. After months of unemployment in retail jobs this is a ray of hope.

It’s a 4 day weekend here so I’m going to be playing a lot of WoW or ff14, me and the gf went out shopping today and then we got some snacks in a dessert shop. So just a chill, relaxing time.

Re: Weekend Plans?

[(Anonymous)]

I was invited to my cousin's house for Easter but am opting to stay home as there will be too many people there so it'll be too noisy, and since one of her bathrooms is out of order there will be only tiny half-bathroom for everyone to use. :/ I also can't get this guy from my past who I once had a chance with (and didn't take) out of my brain.

Re: Weekend Plans?

[(Anonymous)]

Hoping to move some daffodils and tulips now that they are done blooming. I want to have them concentrated in one area where right now they are kind of randomly popping up in different gardens.

I...did not know it was Easter this weekend. I don't celebrate but I'm not usually that much out of the loop. This one snuck up on me!

Re: Weekend Plans?

I got quilt designing software so I’ll be playing with that all weekend. I’m still facing months of recovery for my ankle and discovered that I can’t sit at my sewing machine to do real quilting. So I’ll just do it virtually for now and maybe in a couple weeks we can move my sewing machine to the dining room so I can arrange myself comfortably and use the knee pedal to sew quilt blocks. I’m learning that I enjoy piecing blocks more than joining completed blocks and am only kinda half kidding when I say I wonder if I could get my husband to sew the blocks together…

Re: Weekend Plans?

Just came back from a DEVO concert (very enjoyable!) and will probably just be chill.

Re: Weekend Plans?

Yard work and knitting. I’m trying to get ahead of the weeds, get some new plants in the ground, and finish a sweater. I doubt I’ll have an opportunity to wear said sweater this spring, but it will be a nice surprise for future me.

If you've ever had and left a shitty relationship, did you ever get over it and want to try again?

[(Anonymous)]

I wasted over a decade of my life on a relationship that was extremely unsatisfying and left me miserable. At this point, I feel like I never ever want anything to do with this ever again. It's been awhile now and I still feel this very intensely. It's kind of sad, because I used to consider myself to be pretty romantic, but I just want to be left alone. I don't want romance, I don't want sex, I just want to be left totally and completely alone. I just wonder if I'll ever get past this? Honestly, I'm kind of ok with NOT ever losing this feeling and just being single for the rest of my life. It feels like it's not worth it and it's too hard to find someone who you're compatible with and who treats you well and who meshes with your life, etc.

And just being FREE is so delicious I can't even express it.

How long is a while?

I don't think I could be in a relationship where I didn't feel as free as I want to be. It is possible to have both though, especially if that's what the other person wants, too. My parents who have been married for like 40+ years have always basically done their own thing and are housemates that meet once or twice a day to chat over food

Re: If you've ever had and left a shitty relationship, did you ever get over it and want to try agai

I know it’s not the same thing, but I’ve heard very similar things from some friendly acquaintances whose spouses have died. (After they’ve moved through most of the grief.)

Those weren’t even bad relationships, they just involved a lot of compromise and sacrifice and constraints. I see them feeling this sense of freedom for the first time in decades and I think they don’t want to give it up. One especially seemed to do half-hearted dating because that’s what widows her age are supposed to do, but it’s becoming clearer and clearer to me that she isn’t actually interested.

As an aromatic confirmed bachelor, I empathize with the feeling, but that’s been my normal for a long time.

Re: If you've ever had and left a shitty relationship, did you ever get over it and want to try agai

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not out of one yet, but I know the feeling. I was never that much of a romantic, but I did want that married to your best friend situation. I thought I had it, but I was wrong. Some men like to try very hard and put their best foot forward, and then after you commit, they think it's time to relax and stop trying so hard. I cut him way too much slack because I loved him and I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, I wanted to be a patient, supportive partner and give him time to figure his stuff out. He did not use that time for anything productive, and just got whiny and defensive when I decided I was done waiting for him to grow up.

So after this? No more. I'm not interested in dating anyone, not even casually, not even for sex. I don't want to rule it out completely but tbh, I don't think it's worth my time and effort to dig through the landfill for a good man. I don't have the energy to screen and vet all the sexual predators, incels/redpillers, secret MAGAheads, repugnant manosphere dudebros, tradwife hunters, manchildren who don't know how to take care of themselves and need a woman to do their cooking/cleaning and sexytimes, and THEN try to find someone whose interests and life goals match well with mine. It's too much, and I'm tired. I will enjoy being alone and free and to have my space (no matter how humble or small) that is MINE and not to be violated or dirtied by some idiot who doesn't respect that.

Crossovers

[(Anonymous)]

What crossovers or canon mashups do you think would make a legitimately good canon?

Like not what-ifs or one-off special episodes, but a solid season or movie or series or book

Toe fungus (warning for grossness)

[(Anonymous)]

I've been battling toe fungus for the past 2 or so years. Tonight half my toenail came off. :|

I don't have health insurance so just hoping it heals and wondering if anyone has tried home remedies with any success.
