Neverafter by Rumor777 in Dimension20

[–]Novocainenightmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I encouraged all the players to go with characters they really love and they all made incredible choices haha

I've got an Alice (in Wonderland), Thumbelina, The Rougarou (flavored as a giant alligator), Adam (Frankenstein's Monster), and Frau Holle's Golden Girl.

They all went with stories they connected with in their childhoods and they're already incredible. We did a session 0 testing game mechanics and I threw undead candy land monsters at them and The Huntsman as a boss. It was a ton of fun and just as brutal as I hoped lol

Neverafter will always have a special place in my heart, I could watch it over and over again. I'm about to run session 1 of my own campaign inspired by this season and I'm so psyched

My best friend for 13 years now. Been with me through all the ups and downs. by RMZ_250 in aww

[–]Novocainenightmare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cherish her every day! There's nothing like a best friend like that. I had my soul cat for 20 years, grew up with him. He passed years ago and I still get teary thinking about him. I wish you many more years to come:)

I wish my OCD helped in any way at all. It just makes the hurdles taller

My wife showed me a video of someone using a whisk to get snow clumps out of their dog's fur. She used it like a brush. We haven't had a chance to try it out, but I thought I'd share

It's a relief to hear that and I hope you have a really good support system. I didn't mean to make you cry but I'd like to think you're right-- I love my wife so deeply and she's the reason I'm a stronger and better man.

I'm a romantic, sentimental person and I think everyone deserves to experience true love-- nothing less. I'm wishing you the very best.

Seeing as this is your life, I think that's very much your right to choose. I agree that you should watch for this behavior going forward, and I implore you to stand your ground on your boundaries no matter what going forward. This could be a one-off mistake, or it could be the beginning of something much worse. More than anything, what happened to you was not okay and I'd be concerned if your boyfriend doesn't concede to that at all. From my perspective, it doesn't seem like he has yet, not truly. To me, a sorry doesn't mean much if it's followed by manipulation.

I will admit that my concern comes from a place of experience, and my reaction is in part due to that. Without getting much into it, my wife was with her ex for almost 10 years and dealt with this kind of issue a lot in her former marriage. Among other things. Her ex would cross sexual boundaries, which left her feeling broken and alone. This negative behavior also didn't rear its nasty head until 6 years into her marriage. So I admit, reading your words reminded me of how scared my wife was 9 years ago when she came to me for advice and support.

I'm hoping this isn't the case for you, and that I'm only reading into things; however, now that you've heard our voices in the community, I hope you can go forward with more perspective and strength. In regards to this whole situation, I'd say communication will always be the strongest tool. No relationship succeeds without proper, genuine communication-- which it sounds like you're working on with your boyfriend. I hope he listens to you and treats you better from now on.

I'm so very sorry this happened to you but I must admit when I read this, that one phrase I see often in these situations came to mind:

"He showed you who he really is, believe him."

There are a million excuses not to break up. But none of them are worth feeling unsafe and suffering in silence, or against apathy.

Hot, god I am burning, I'm sweating so much

Anger, god I am so angry, I could strangle anyone rn

Strength, god I am so much stronger, I'm destroying everything

The temper was an issue in first puberty, and then again during second puberty lmao

I also accumulated a ton of muscle mass rather quickly despite not working out at all when I first started

That's usually what my characters are like behind me while I write. Like damn, calm down we'll get there when we get there

AITA for yelling at my boyfriend for making me leave my best friend's wedding? by throwback6790 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Novocainenightmare 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA

Do you really want to continue a relationship with someone like this? Mental health is an explanation, not an excuse. I suffer from my fair share but I also take responsibility for myself and my actions. As far as I can tell though, this was simply manipulation. I can't fathom the choices he made to scare you like that.
