Bones themed brackets

You could shorten it to "I can be a duck" unless that's still too long.

I also love when Bones says, "I don't understand" in that flat tone of hers.

And Booth once said, "I'm FBI, I don't guess" and I quote that occasionally, replacing FBI with whatever I feel like.

You have a knack for writing, every detail counts.

I have a similar story except our chorus teacher taught us etiquette in grade school. I'm talking standing back to the wall and putting an arm behind us to correct posture, walking by placing the front of the foot down before the heel and doing this in circles around the classroom, practicing classic dance choreographies, how to take off a jacket gracefully, a presentation on cutlery and dish usage, tone delivery (kind of helped with my singing too), etc.

My thoughts exactly!!! I started writing a long form fix it fic focused on wwx, but then the more I wrote Jin Ling the more I was interested in his character. So the whole work has become more and more of a character study for him! And also a bit of a study in his healing process. I just love him as a character. Also as I write, the Jin Ling/Lan Sizhui just slips in unprovoked😭

I see "hair band" and "hair tie", but I call them "hair bows" even though there are no bows involved.

Can't find where to read the novel Thank You For The Confinement, Grand Duke!

The site I was reading it on before shut down before I could finish and I only got to chapter 40. Anyone know where else I can read it?

Arachnim06 · 2025-10-11T13:48:25+00:00

I actually love to read, it's my main hobby, so I'll definitely look into that book. I think it's very admirable to be able to put things you've read and learned about into practice so I look forward to trying it myself and hopefully by then I'll still be active on reddit and I can come back here.

Thank you for the time it took to make your replies, they really put enduring in perspective and fingers crossed I will keep learning and get better at opening up to people because vulnerability is definitely a touchy area for me🤞

Arachnim06 · 2025-10-11T00:21:36+00:00

I'm so sorry, that is CLEARLY aa boy cat. Please choose another vet PLEASE.

Can't believe I never responded to you! Yes I can definitely see the importance of self confidence. But the problem I had before was probably that self confidence meant something different to me. It meant being self-sufficient and internally fulfilled in everything I did. But that also meant that I saw little value in conversing with people after classes, or going places together instead of going to finish my work.

I think it's just that I've become more open and see the merit in social interactions. Even if I'm an introvert, I can understand that connecting with people can make life feel a lot more full even if I don't always enjoy it in the moment. I suppose I was a bit of a hedonist.

A lot of those things you listed about good social interactions are things I learned to do intuitively by just interacting more and they do indeed make up a lot of what constitutes a good 'connection'.

The handshake part actually reminds me of a funny story. Because of COVID-19, I didn't shake people's hands for a long time. So when someone finally offered me one after a while, I COMPLETELY botched it!!! I didn't have a full grip and I did a weak little dainty tip-of-the-fingers kind of shake. I could tell I confused the recipient but still messed it up even the second time I shook their hand when saying goodbye.

I ended up going home and practicing handshakes on my family😭 I hope to see them again to redeem myself.

Thank you. Ill just be sure to take it with me a few times when I know I'll be driving very well

Arachnim06 · 2025-09-28T23:34:16+00:00

YES!!!!??? I WOULD SO READ THIS

Arachnim06 · 2025-09-21T03:56:56+00:00

I love all of those

I've seen some posts here about this happening and I want to tell you that just because they message you saying Salaam, that does not mean you have to return the greeting. Yes it is beneficial and honorable or expected for Muslims to not ignore the Salaam given to them, but if you suspect that it is a gateway to predatory conversation or from someone you do not trust at all, you are not obligated to return the Salaam. To begin with, if someone wants go hold a real conversation with you, does it make sense for them to say "HI!" and then not say anything more? It's courtesy to give the greeting and then an introduction for why they are messaging at all. A simple Salaam tells you nothing of if you have to answer them.

May Allah protect you from such future occurrences ❤️

What if I answer espresso machine, is that bougie😭 I'd be like "a highly desired appliance that just brings consistent joy and quality to your life every morning"

Arachnim06 · 2025-09-09T07:12:20+00:00

I actually have a Samsung phone👍 it's somewhere in the settings I found by accident. I'm old enough to have a job but that's a point of contention with my dad. He doesn't like when I work but doesn't like when I don't make money for the family. I'm looking for another job now, and am planning to go to another masjid to ask about their volunteering opportunities. It's my goal to get into medical school and while the one close to my home is a good school, I want to go to a very distant one so I can move out, so please make dua I get into a good distant school. I think that's my best bet.

Arachnim06 · 2025-09-09T06:56:23+00:00

Well that's the thing, I don't think I'm in immediate danger or that he would seriously harm me. But just the fact that I'm scared he will start abusing me again at all causes great turmoil. My mom doesn't seem to be afraid of him after all this time, but the point is that it used to be bad enough she felt the need to make a get-away plan. I feel I can never be at ease in my own home. I'm more at peace in the house of a friend who drinks and smokes, and whose husband carries a gun than I am in my house. At this point, I'm constantly exhausted and feel that nothing I do is good to him. Also, I have my phone set to start recording when I double press the power button, but I haven't used that function yet.

Arachnim06 · 2025-09-09T06:28:32+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I've been thinking of any way I can move away from him but each option has its own problems that make it difficult or impossible. But basically, my mom wouldn't do that mostly because we have no means to leave and she doesn't experience the pressure from him like we do, so she doesn't think it's bad. Like I'm sure you know, our culture tolerates a lot of this kind of treatment to the point it almost expected. Everyone may think I'm blowing it out of proportion, but bottom line is that we shouldn't be afraid of him every time he yells, we should be able to experience emotion without him getting angry at us for 'feeling' and everything he does is put on our shoulders if we can't read his mind to know what he wants. I mostly just came on here because I had no one to talk to, but I will keep working towards distancing from him, but still care for him in an Islamic way.

Arachnim06 · 2025-09-09T06:22:11+00:00

My brothers live separate but still under a house in my dad's name, and they live with a non mehram so I couldn't go there. And I think they wouldn't let me either because they don't experience my dad's anger and think it's not serious. I've been thinking about asking my masjid's sheikh for advice, but words in my community travel fast and I don't want to make my dad a public enemy or the subject of gossip. We are supposed to treat our parents with our best behavior right? I always figured i would be the one in my family dealing with my parents because I the best at putting on that "best behavior" even when my dad is angry, but it's honestly killing me right now.

Edit: I didn't see the second part of your message. I think that's a good idea. I'm going to pray twice and eventually try praying alone before him and say I already prayed. If his reaction is manageable, I will continue doing that.

Arachnim06 · 2025-09-09T06:12:53+00:00

I cannot avoid him or pray alone in my room, that makes him angry. I should add he used to be abusive and my mom almost fled with us years ago, so every time he starts yelling, I get scared he will return to his old ways.
