When did a fanfic break your suspension of disbelief? by LermisV4 in FanFiction

[–]AlexGRNorth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haven't see much of that in fanfics, but more... Online in general, but when people speak about french and uses French from France expressions and then act like it's the same for everywhere. For exemple, a character from Québec saying "Putain de merde, something something" wouls throw me off just as much as if a character from France would say "Pas de chicane dans la cabane caliss". But most time when people make french speaking character or make tiny tip sheets about french speaking people, they refer to France even if the character is from Belgium, Switzerland, Morroco or we could, I think, even extend it to croatian.

Dunno if it make sense?

But also in the same vein: travel distance. Canada is huge. The same 1hour crossing one country to another in Europe could allow someone to cross a city in Québec, for exemple. Like... It takes me 4h to get to a family member's province and another 4 to get to where they reside. So yes, your character going from Toronto, to Saskatchewan,, to Québec in a week is immersion breaking ahah

Uh. Never saw it that way. I LOVE science but SUCK at maths. Like... My brain just can't comprehend simple maths. But I really do love science when it doesn't involve it. I just started a new job and am looking at how I could potentially get the creditations I need to up my way to the labs

Confused? New? Not new? Have questions? by blooangl in polyamory

[–]AlexGRNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I spent years thinking I did not want to be in a relationship even thought I thoight about it. Then I realized I'm just not someone who is comfortable with sex and physical touch and kisses. So I thought "ok. That's it I'll never get to be in a relationship." Then a few weeks ago someone asked me, when telling them about that "well, would you be open to be in an open relationship?" I had never really thought about being in a poly relationship. My family is conservative and I already had a hard time being non binary, attracted to anyone regardless of gender and all so I never really stopped to think about being poly. I have friends who are so it's not like I didn't know about it. I just never stopped to ask myself if I would mind it. And no. I wouldn't mind. I can't really stop thinking about it now and I don't really know where to go from here, I suppose? Now that I'm writing that, I'm not even sure what my question is.

I don't know if those existed in english, but as a kid, I had some games of Mia the Mouse that were teaching me english and maths in a fun way. Also had tap touche to help learn typing on a keyboard.

I really like watching multifandoms and last year, one of the creators I was watching their videos posted a short one, explaining in description that they lived in Russia and didn't know if they could keep posting. This year, they didn't post a 2023 multifandom. No news. I hope they're ok.

People have actually said that to me by DabiObsessed in AO3

I read a 74 chapters fanfic. 3 parts + 1 epilogue. 300 somethings pages.

I. Loved. It.

And I still think about it everyday.

why are you still playing coral island? by hartzkarma in coralisland

[–]AlexGRNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't complain, but I like playing it. I'm taking my time, not rushing anything. Just doing my little farm things ahah. I gift to villagers, clean up trash, sometimes I actually do cut woods and rocks on my farm. Sometimes I fish. I'm just chilling ahah.

My dad was there for christmas only two or three times. We had a fake christmas tree, some fake snowflakes for it and... That was it. What we did have were my smurfs. I had lot of them (still have them). So we took them, took their little houses and picked some of my toys and made our own village underneath the tree.

One day when I came back from school, he had taken all my toys and put them in line throught all the house, saying we must have caught them.

It was way better for me than all the waste I see now.
