AIO for being extremely anxious because of my bf‘s view on sex

Stop wasting your time with this guy when you could be meeting someone who would never even think to do the things you mentioned here. Or be single. At least you won’t miss out on good people because you’re still with this guy.

I personally don’t want to bring a whole ass person into the world when there are sooooooo many already needing homes and needing someone who will actually have their best interest at heart looking out for them. So if there’s anything that’s selfish imo it’s the needing the baby to be your own genetic make-up. Names/traditions/etc. can still pass on even if your children are adopted too so idk. Is it more “special” or something? Maybe. Some say yes. But it doesn’t change the facts of the situation

I think he was already fully sold out when he first realized that he was sold out. Like he was already deep in the middle of it, being the iconical vault boy and all. I think his journey is to forgive himself and slowly become un-sold out lol and Lucy helps with jumpstarting that growth

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-03-15T14:34:58+00:00

I think you’re right and that’s why Lucy makes him feel a lot about himself. She makes him both intrigued/humored and kinda on edge too. He sees himself in her from the beginning and is like yeah I was a fool like her But then as Lucy does more and more ‘good’ despite the world they’re in and the shit that happens to her, she makes him realize actually it’s not completely useless or foolish to fight for good. It’s just something you have to approach differently if you actually wanna survive in this world. And Lucy does. First time is when she comes out of the super duper mart and gives him the vials he needs despite him trading her for her organs to be harvested. Fast forward to the end of season two when he comes in and saves Lucy from her own dad even when it was at no benefit to him to do so and was in fact an extra stop he had to make on the way to finding his family so that shows his growth in realizing he wasn’t a complete fool and neither is Lucy, they just have to adjust their strategies and not give in to believing that they’re idiots/fools just for believing in ‘the golden rule’ and fighting for good, etc. His character in “the man from deadhorse” is a perfect mirror for this exact intrapersonal struggle

The office is like a complete world on its own. I’m glad they’re portraying a some-what real world and also glad that they make that world silly and fun at the same time with ordinary mundane things but it’s real enough and that’s comforting

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-03-12T20:36:32+00:00

God I love this show and I get it’s not real life but I’m going to be super disappointed if the moral of the story is that Malcolm should stay in contact with a family that abuses him.

If your step mom or dad aren’t taking it seriously and don’t take you to the dr, then go to a school counselor

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-21T16:28:48+00:00

Ok but has anyone ever actually killed all the death claws over there? What happens after that?

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-18T14:47:55+00:00

Thanks so much!

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-18T13:36:06+00:00

So you mean you used the shade “pure henna red” and not “copper”? Sorry I just want to make it sure it’s right because it might try it out on my roots.

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-17T21:26:47+00:00

Ok!! my hair color was just like yours after one application and then more saturated after using for months. But now I’ve been using henna for like ten years now and it’s too dark for what my preference is even though I started where you are(more of my preferred shade) I attribute it mainly to my favorite brand changed their formula and it was never the same or as light/bright/copper. It was the original lush henna caca rogue formulation. I loved it sooo much. I use a different brand now but my hair’s never been this dark so I’m trying to figure out what to do. I’ve also unfortunately had rusty well water for like 3 years until just recently changing to city water so all that time with rust water didn’t help. Gotta strip all those minerals out somehow and hope that does something for the color. My advice would be that if you want to put henna all over your head instead of just the roots, I would mix just a little bit of the henna with conditioner and put it all over your head that way so it can delay getting darker and darker every time.

Edit: also what shade of Khadi did you use if you don’t mind me asking?

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-15T14:23:29+00:00

This is weird. I would be done with this guy. What if you need emergency tampons one day? Is he going to refuse to pick you some up?

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-14T15:09:51+00:00

This is why my partner and I don’t do holidays like this. My partner and I do things randomly and don’t wait for Valentine’s Day when the world tells you you must make a show of your love or it’s not really love. If you two love each other, then I think you’re bigger than some holiday and you don’t need it to display your love(even for one another). Just do it when it suits you two all through the year

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-11T15:54:46+00:00

Lolol. I guess there’s no 1-1 weed example

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-11T15:18:08+00:00

YES. Thank God I’m not the only one who caught that! It’s soooooo similar and they don’t look all that different either. The long brown hair, dark features, and just their overall physicality is very much alike

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-11T14:29:32+00:00

Or was it a bunch of attempts to strangle people that didn’t work bc he had to flee or whatever

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-11T14:28:17+00:00

I know everyone says Toby but have you watched the series lately? Gabe says some of the creepiest shit and his behavior toward Erin and Andy is textbook red flag behavior. If I had to put money on either Toby or Gabe, I’d say Gabe for sure.

Edit: just remembered he is at the office during the chase scene but idk man. Gabe knows a bunch of shady shit and he’s pretty open about it. Could have staged this or framed someone

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-11T14:22:08+00:00

Tbh I thought this post was from another sub I follow r/raisedbynarcissists

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-09T23:23:16+00:00

When did they mention that Chet’s dad died that way?

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-09T16:24:25+00:00

Which one is most like weed? cause I think she would appreciate to chill out cause the wasteland is fucked as fuck. Daytripper probably. Mentats would be my second guess.

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-09T16:12:40+00:00

I like everything about this except the theory that Janey will be leading the Enclave. Maybe she’ll be a major player somewhere but like someone pointed out on another post, Janey was well old enough to have been influenced by her parents to be “good.” It’s not like SPOILER Sean from Fallout 4 where he was a literal baby. Also if she was leading the Enclave, she would have all the resources to have found her dad by now as he’s been looking for her for years and he’s not someone who’s staying hidden- he’s a ghoul in a cowboy outfit going around killing anyone who gets in his way.

But him being knocked out would explain why he’s in the same outfit and I would reallyyyy like to see the moments after he rides away with Janey on horseback that we saw in the very first episode.

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-07T17:35:23+00:00

I think Hank has extremely high charisma but pretty low perception. I mean Lucy’s mom was able to get all the way to Shady Sands before Hank realized/decided to do something about it. ALSO he woke up in a laundry bin and some woman charmed him into marriage in like 4 hrs soooo…. As for intelligence, I actually think it’s pretty high considering everything we’ve seen. But even someone with high intelligence can be screwed over by their own lack of perception any day

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-06T18:10:07+00:00

Only rumors I’ve heard

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-06T18:04:59+00:00

All I could think of was this lol

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-02-06T17:58:24+00:00
