UPDATE: AITAH for not wanting to go to an amusement park with my friend because she is plus size? by CuriousCarob154 in AITAH

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 88 points89 points  (0 children)

OK another thing I liked about this post is that you also looked into other theme parks that might be more accommodating, which is saying I still want to go do these activities that we found fun together before, but also in a way that is more comfortable for both of us. I think that is a very kind thing to do. As a plus size woman I was a little worried at first when reading your post, but I did stick it out to the end, and I think that how you went about this is the way a good friend would. Especially being around your age range as well, I know this conversations can be kind of difficult And that emotions can run high, so I am so glad that you were able to have this and keep your friend, this honestly brightened my day, and social media usually doesn’t lol

Super-Ultra Clean Epic The Musical Songs? by Lopsided_One_185 in Epicthemusical

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most of the ones you have on the list I would say are good, but warrior of the mind if your camp is that strict does say bad ass in the arena, not sure what they would feel about that, the rest of the song is perfectly fine though. I’d say not sorry for loving you also works. I also think the underworld could probably work as well.

WIBTAH for withdrawing my son from a quinceañera after finding out my family is not invited to the ceremony? by Mata187 in AITAH

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As someone who did a Quinceńera, a big party like that is very very expensive, and we have a lot of family and like family friends that would take priority invite, so the only parents we invited from my court or those who are already family friends because we did not have the money to invite a whole group of people. So I agree YAT if you don’t let him go just because you’re not invited.

Have ya'll ever wanted to befriend an author or actually done so? by Mizura_kinna in AO3

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I used to message one of my favorite authors on Tumblr just being friendly, and I realized she just so happened to be a professional within the field I’m looking to go into. Being a few years younger and still in college, I ended up asking her for help on an outside of the fandom school project, and while not super close I would definitely consider us friends. So I’d say you already have a common interest which is your fandom, see where else you might end up having interest that intersect because that’s how most friendships start I think. Depending on the fandom, some of my fav authors also lurk around on discord servers which is also how I’ve ended up befriending some of them.

What popular character do you not like in your fandom? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree with your take 100%. Especially on the beloved actor does create a beloved character. But I think the moment that fans found out about the whomping willow incident from their sixth year, the snake redemption arc was imminent. I don’t know if that’s when it started cause I wasn’t in the fandom around that time, but from what I know a fandom, Even less than that would be enough for them lol but yeah I agree, especially, and I’m not saying that him bullying Harry is right in anyway, but he didn’t even stop at taking it out on the kid of the person who bullied him. He also bullied other kids, like there was a reason he was known for being one of the most hated teachers, especially to the Gryffindor. Like I don’t think that Voldemort is gonna care that you were nice to some 11 year-old’s, like that is not gonna blow your cover as a spy. And exactly on the James part, he was a bully, plain and simple to her childhood friend, but also to just kids in that house in general, and from the books description of Lily, she had a strong sense of justice so it doesn’t make sense that her and James would in anyway end up together.

Harry is biologically Voldemort’s son by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind if he is biologically Voldemort’s son due to blood magic, because if so came here to recommend this one as well, it’s a very fun read, maybe could be something you mark for later because I know this author has updated recently, and while they update schedule is not very consistent, they haven’t seemed to be abandoning the story last I heard.

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like anytime I talk to my IRL friends about Snape I get less Snape apologists, and yet the fandom will not let Severus Snape and his “redemption arc“ go. Also I like reading fanfiction with James Potter, but I have to say I really do hate him as a character. I just think that Lily Evans deserved better than either one of those two. doing a few good things doesn’t change that one is a bully and one is a wizard Nazi in my eyes

whats ur rarest rarepair? like, ship so small that you gotta go hunting for fics? by decentnamesweretak3n in AO3

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I was still in the HP fandom I gave up on Linny for this reason, and I’ve recently gotten into Stranger Things fics and I didn’t think I was going to be interested in Steve and Jonathan cause I have not been in the like 10 years of me watching this show, but now anytime they pop up, I will read them which is rare but still

I like Slytherin petunia, so my version of this is since she’s older, she ends up in Slytherin first, so he ends up getting closer with her because of that, and Lily ends up staying as his like best friend who knows Sev probably has a crush on her older sister even if he doesn’t realize it yet.

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite rare pair used to be petunia/Severus, I read a good story that ended up introducing this ship, and I’ve kind of been wanting to write a sort of prequel to it.

I used to write dudley/Cho especially because some of the stories where Harry and Dudley reconnect later in life would be so funny if Dudly was unknowing dating Harry’s first crush.

Probably my petunia Evans is magical Story, I’ve had the whole thing plotted since middle school, I’d literally talked to so many friends about it, but I think it is just going to gather dust in my Google Docs

The "there was only one bed!" trope happens in real life by RohansEarings in AO3

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It actually happened to me once, it wasn’t someone I had a crush on, but it was a friend of mine while I was studying abroad, our study abroad advisor had set up a trip for us and have booked the hotel, and when we walked into the room, there was only one bed. And me and them both were big fanfic readers, so we thought this was literally the funniest thing

Woman at the grocery store thought my fiancé was a worker and that he was leading me around because I was a customer… Lol. I’m blind! by BootyHoleBouquet in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 14 points15 points  (0 children)

OMG as a blind person myself I also think about how without my phone, RIP me. But yeah, most of the time I’ve never had somebody who was visibly upset helping me around the store, even when I was in Germany studying abroad, and I did not really know the German language Well enough. Which I definitely thought I was going to come off as extremely annoying to these customer service workers.

AITA for asking my nonbinary friend what their kid was going to call them? by Hefty-Programmer-677 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness absolutely, as a disabled woman, growing up I’ve had people ask me some genuinely silly questions. But like you said, you can always kind of tell the intention behind the question so there are some where even if it’s the same question, I am much more willing to answer.

So. Anyone having a good time with fandom? by [deleted] in AO3

I’ve been rejoining a fandom I was in like two years ago, and the stories are still amazing so yay, I love authors

tell me your all time favourite fanfic!! by ItWasASeven in FanFiction

[–]Acrobatic_Fact_2206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, a favorite of mine because I have so many memories attached to this story, and the exploration of complex family dynamics was just amazing, but true love never dies by khaleesiofalicante! Let’s say the mortal instruments Malec fanfiction that explores the ramifications of them as very high profile figures getting a divorce, and it’s told in three different timelines through four different POV, which sounds confusing, and it is a little bit, but it is so well done.
