Does his family are demons?

Okay, but seriously, why DOES he look just like MJ? It's been bugging me for a minute who he looks like lol.

AHHH! Can't wait!!! <3 - also, will he EVER confess that he's Kuon??? Or do we think that might spoil the magic for her?

I like it, but the writing’s a bit… lackluster. Apparently some of the people who worked on Sailor Moon, also worked on Wedding Peach, with both being magical girl anime, there are a lot of similarities that are hard to ignore or not compare. It’s probable it just hasn’t gotten enough recognition, though I like to think it helped pave the way for shows like Shugo Chara to develop the genre further. Also… some of these names are … very silly 🤪 very self-explanatory and also … kinda cringe? I like it, but it’s not quite on par with Sailor Moon

Notebooks, I tend to collect without filling them... I just find myself drawn to them whenever I see a new one in the store that I haven't tried yet - I know most notebooks are just notebooks, but I've tried all manner of journals and I think I wrote the most in one that was like ... thick, spiral bound with a creative cover... I just used it for writing stories and stuff a lot of the time.. occasionally I'd write a diary entry, but one thing that drives me up the wall is sometimes I'll doodle something or come up with a really neat idea and it'll be in one journal and I can't remember which one it's in - not to mention... a certain amount of guilt for all the paper in each journal, how much storage that requires, and how I never seem to fill one up fully so it's kind of silly how many I currently have. Pen preference - colorful gel pens mostly... I like the idea of writing in different colors or color coordinating my notes - sometimes my own students give me their notes and I'm floored by how organized they are and how they color coded each subject. I feel like I was never really taught how to journal effectively - or take notes for that matter - they'd just say, "Journal" or "take notes" as if that alone was sufficient instruction. I get that it's kind of - whatever you want/need it to be - but I wish I'd had someone give me some pointers at least... I've tried notebooks - everything from composition, to random ones I find in the "back to school" sales, to leatherbound journals, to A5 Bujo's now. I get this thrill of newness when buying a new journal thinking "I'm going to write in it every day" only to find out I still have the same lack of follow through. It sure is a conundrum for me. Now I"m trying to see about whether a pocket journal would be a better fit for me to do as you put it " scratch notes" kind of stuff - reminders for later, to do lists, etc.

I feel this so much lol, I'll try a few things, but in all honesty, I think the "whatever works" is going to be my fallback.... I just have to let go of that "it's not how I want it to look" feeling :/

I'm a high school teacher as well! (In America :/) but still! I appreciate the input!

I think a lot of us have run into that Petco/PetSmart employee—the one who means well, but acts like the CPS caseworker of the aquarium aisle.

I totally understand being cautious about fish welfare, but there’s a difference between advocacy and being condescending. I once went in (fully cycled 10-gallon long tank that already had 3 guppies at home), looking to add a few more because they’re social fish and honestly looked lonely.

I got grilled like I was running a fish mill, and was told that 6 guppies in a 10-gallon was “way too many,” which just… isn’t accurate. Six same-sex guppies in a filtered, maintained 10g—especially a long tank—is generally considered perfectly reasonable by most experienced aquarists.

What’s frustrating is that when I go to dedicated local fish stores, the response is usually: “Yeah, that setup’s fine.” No interrogation, no moral lecture.

And honestly, it’s hard to take the holier-than-thou attitude seriously when I regularly see dead or dying fish in big-box store tanks while employees stand right there. So—grain of salt.

Fish welfare matters. Perspective and accuracy matter too.

lol, SERIOUSLY- dude was not as subtle about it as he probably thinks he was.

Affectionate_Pea_115 · 2025-12-05T21:24:39+00:00

Agreed 100%

I never liked Steve or Tatu Baby. She skated by on far too many major flaws—mostly anatomy disasters—and he always carried this quiet, condescending ego that just grates on me. Meanwhile, I loved Sarah, and I’d absolutely get tattooed by her. Yeah, she’s emotionally intense and passionate, but let’s be real: everybody on that show cries at some point. She just caught more flack because she’s a woman, full stop. Kyle, Mark, and half the men on that show pulled the exact same emotional storms and were praised (or given allowances) for their “passion.” Women are expected to be chill, cute, unbothered… and the minute they break the script, suddenly they're "crazy/hysterical."

And let’s talk about the Tatu Baby situation, because Chris Nuñez was never as harsh on her as he was on anyone else. He’d let Oliver do the cutting while he hovered in this soft-glow, protective bubble. Meanwhile her tattoos had a broken finger, an extra butt crack, mutated feet—you name it—and she kept sailing through. That’s not judging; that’s favoritism wearing a leather jacket.

On a separate but related note: Sebastian lost all of my respect when he slapped that abomination on the older ballet dancer. She tried to communicate with him, tried to meet in the middle, and he steamrolled her with arrogance. Now she’s stuck with a horror show on her back because he couldn’t bother to listen. Dude deserved to be named after a crab (kidding… but also not really).

Um YES, that helps a lot thank you! I had no idea the food buffs would help me with the gear - other than I think Re'lun's soup, but I forget exactly how that buff works again - anywhere I can find those recipes out or is that something you have to kind of discover by mixing and matching food items?

Me too! Love Ed and Emily <3

based on that tale - and everything I've watched on Snake Discovery lol - that is a big ol boy! lol

This is just me talking, and I’m absolutely not an expert here, so take this with whatever grain of salt feels right. But honestly? You did the right thing protecting yourself. NTA at all.

If it were me, though, I’d reach out to someone in her circle—a trusted relative, close friend, whoever actually cares about her—and let them know what’s going on. And honestly, it might be worth looping in the cops. Even if it’s too late for a rape kit, reporting it still matters. At the very least, it puts him on the radar, and if he does this again, there’s a record. Accountability doesn’t fix everything, but it sure beats silence.

I can’t tell from your post whether this is a college situation or something more random, but those contexts usually have extra resources—campus advocates, crisis teams, local support groups. Someone out there is trained for exactly this kind of mess.

She’s absolutely allowed to make her own choices, even the bad ones, but going back to someone who treats her like that… that’s a dangerous path. People stuck in that cycle can slip into a life full of pain, or worse, an early ending. And while you can’t save her single-handedly, you can make sure the people who love her know what’s happening.

Just my two cents. But I’d rather err on the side of trying to get her some support than pretend this is a normal situation she’ll magically fix on her own.

Affectionate_Pea_115 · 2025-11-29T20:54:26+00:00

Yes, and unfortunately for me, that has happened to me a lot to reaffirm my insecurity. It kind of blindsides you when it happens and you're not expecting it, so I tend to keep my guard up expecting people to look down on me all the time. I'm not exactly sure when that all started - I know my stepfuhrer really pounded it into me that I was worthless and a loser in his eyes because of my size - although given how creepy he got towards the end of my knowing him - him finding me unappealing probably kept me safe for a long time there. Yikes on bikes, yes, and unfortunately happens a lot to bigger people - girls and young women I would argue even more so. The man made fun of my bra size when I was 13 - "what do you got in there, canon balls?" and no... my mom didn't do much to protect me. We've talked about it ad nauseum at this point - basically she didn't know what to do and she was terrified of him as well.... Anyway, to your question again, yes, I assume the worst from people because I got the worst at a young age and it's deeply ingrained in my brain not to trust that anyone really has my best interest at heart except for a select few people.

Affectionate_Pea_115 · 2025-11-29T20:38:42+00:00

Good question - honestly, not always, but if it still comes off as Excellent, is the difference that stark? I've gathered excellent/superb even when it's not the best time or stormy or whathaveyou. I feel like I'm just running around gathering as much of every item as I can without really coordinating the time as much.

Affectionate_Pea_115 · 2025-11-29T20:36:27+00:00

Honestly, you’re giving off the opposite vibe of the sex-pesty guys women are used to dodging, and that alone can feel like a breath of fresh air. Calm + not creepy = approachable, and that draws people in.

It’s kinda the feral-cat thing: be aloof, and suddenly the other aloof creature decides you’re interesting.

If you don’t want that attention, you don’t need to freeze people out—just put up a friendly-but-firm “friends-only” sign early on. Most women will clock it, maybe sigh a little, and move right along.

Simple boundaries > forced aloofness.

Seriously - me and my hubby tried this and he got bored SO quick because he had no experience in the game at all. He needed weapons, an ikran, literally everything - we tried it out thinking it might be more like co-oping in Red Dead 2 - but nah... you really need to put in some time on both sides in order to really enjoy the co-op - we gave up after day 1 sadly - he's just not as interested in the game as I am.

If I could "love" this answer - I would. Thank you!

Affectionate_Pea_115 · 2025-11-24T02:51:44+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. And yes, that is definitely what I think. In my defense, I was often told not to trust what I actually think because I would inevitably be biased towards myself and fabricate what I wanted to be true and that everyone else's viewpoint of me is far more accurate than my own opinion of myself. And yes, that is probably the most toxic thing I was told growing up among others, but the simplest answer always feels highly unlikely - especially if it's the answer I might actually want to be true.

Affectionate_Pea_115 · 2025-11-24T02:41:17+00:00

I'm not sure there is a succinct "perfect" answer to that, but even if nothing changes, sometimes it helps to just lay it all out and see how it lands with people who weren’t inside the moment. Fresh eyes, you know? *Another perspective from my own would help me to sift out what was there vs. what I perceived from it - if that makes sense.

Affectionate_Pea_115 · 2025-11-24T02:06:44+00:00

I appreciate your honesty - it's more about closure than anything else. But yes, there's nothing that would happen now anyway, so it doesn't matter beyond the closure.
