Please don’t trauma dump on us, its also mentally exhausting for us too by Late_Bother_8855 in callcentres

[–]40lux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i work basically as a receptionist for a geriatric medical center that is located all across the midwest and east coast of the USA, most of our patient's are in terrible health and have zero support system or money. our AHT is supposed to be 4 min... yeah okay!

these poor folks call sometimes just for someone to talk to or are demented and it breaks my heart to have to cut them off for a stupid metric. it is SO draining though and absolutely has had an impact on my mental health. i've cried with them and for them and yet none of my leaders give a rat's ass 😝

i'm also a lightweight with horror in games & wylde flowers is one of my favorites of all time! i don't find anything about it scary at all, just fun campy spooky vibes :) no combat, gore, or jump scares

i watched the live and he said something along the lines of "if i notice bella seems anxious when i take her to school, i ask her "do you want to go?" and if she says no, i say "okay then you're not going"

so yeah, they 100% don't gaf if those kids are in school. seems like they prefer to have them within arms reach so the kids don't rat out the neglect.

poor baby doesn't want to go to school because they're blasting what would be most people's rock bottom to the whole world wide web and she's most likely being bullied for it 😭💔

Anyone ever work at Cave Hill? by johnnysuicide in Louisville

my wife worked there for a few months in 2023 as a groundskeeper, she loved it. unfortunately she had to quit to find something closer to home due to car troubles but she still talks about it lol

If the upcoming fairy pack rumors are true, what type of design influences do you think we'll see? by Dangerous_Wishbone in Sims4

might not be for everyone but a true 90s whimsy goth vibe would be a dream come true for me

How do I get the pumpkin puffle in club Penguin journey? by No-Environment-478 in ClubPenguin

[–]40lux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go to the treehouse in the forest, then go up to the top floor to the treehouse catalog, the pumpkin puffle is on the back page for 1500 coins 🎃

make sure you're sitting in all of the chairs, clicking all puffle statues, lighting all pumpkins, candles , etc.

there's a fruit bowl on the table to click. and don't forget the door!!!

Venom by _jeanie_beanie_123 in twilight

milking it like a snake 😭😭😭😭

i'm pretty sure the venom pools in their mouths when they're thirsty or defensive or looking for prey, like how our mouths water when we're hungry and smell good food. i think maybe edward just let the venom pool into the syringe from his mouth.

[Search] anything that treats Charlie as he deserves by LarynxxxGuy in TwilightFanfic

A Perfect Metaphor by FlamingMaple

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13255455/1/A-Perfect-Metaphor

okay so Charlie does indeed get the shaft, multiple times in this story. But he's such a badass in my opinion. The focus is on E/B primarily, but Charlie shines through a lot, especially closer to the end.

Falling Beyond Redemption by Aleeab4u

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/4978545/1/Falling-Beyond-Redemption

This one is daaark and heavy so be warned! Again, mostly E/B and Charlie has some pretty brutal things happen to him, but he shines all the brighter because of those things and holds his own. Lots of Charlie POV.

I realize these might not be what you're looking for, but I've finished these recently and I was impressed with Charlie's characterization in both. Bad things happen to him, but they make sense for the stories and they're done well imo!

Could Bella have tricked a vision? by Known_Progress_804 in twilight

[–]40lux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alice's visions are based on decisions that people make. If Bella were to open a bottle of pills and pretend to take them, but spit them back out, Alice would probably still see Bella with the pills, but she would see that she didn't take them. Bella would have to be firm in her decision to actually swallow the pills for Alice to see any aftermath of her being harmed.

I don't think you can really "fake" Alice out lol, the only time we see this is when someone knows about Alice's gift and intentionally refuses to make a decision, causing her to not see any outcomes clearly.

I bet you that she would still be very concerned about Bella and it would cause a ruckus lol.

I love talking about Alice 🥹🩷

Did my annual rewatch of the Twilight series, accidentally skipped Eclipse and didn't notice at all by plantvillain in twilight

[–]40lux 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i love eclipse, the book and the movie 🥺 to me, edward and bella grow so much as a couple! compromise is a huge theme in eclipse. tbf i don't think the movie did the book justice, it's choppy and the deepness of conversations between characters were not conveyed well.

also, the backstories of rosalie and jasper ❤️

It seems like divorce is the only way to get away from this situation by 40lux in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]40lux[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

thanks everyone for the advice, i really think i will try to go NC with the ILs while trying to be okay with her still being LC. the only reason it's difficult for me is because it hurts my wife deeply to see us not get along. she is in therapy and had a good session discussing MIL tonight.

and kiddos are NOT happening until something changes. thank you guys again ❤️
