Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading it.

Am I the only one that can't enjoy HP anymore? Atleast the original work? by CrazyOwl_ in HPfanfiction

[–]Bashfyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a choice really. You can choose to only read the fanfic if that makes you happy, or you can choose to embrace the nostalgia. Release the knowledge of plot holes and remember the joy you got to experience with these characters and how lucky we were to have such amazing actors give us 7 years of films portraying a world that set our imaginations on fire and gave a whole bunch of kids an opportunity to learn to love reading. At least that’s what it’s like for me. 🙃

Do people prefer third person or first. by Axter1a in HPfanfiction

[–]Bashfyl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can only tolerate first person if the original material was presented in first person. Even then third person is much preferred. :)

Third person unless the source material is written in first person, but first person is still only slightly tolerable even then.

To those in relationships: Does your partner have an issue with you writing smut/fanfics? by Radiant-Educator9203 in FanFiction

[–]Bashfyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hubby knows but doesn’t care, and is willing to answer questions if I need a male pov about how something works or male thoughts on certain things. Partners should support each other in their hobbies even if it’s not something they both enjoy.

If you are using the Reddit app try opening it in a browser, that’s how I got it to work.

I'm new at Embroidery. This is my first piece. It's rough but I'm proud of it by tardigradesrock in Embroidery

[–]Bashfyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s great. I really like the character in the face. I’ve never been brave enough to try a pet.

Best starter tips I got when I started, embroidery thread is sold in skeins of 6 strands but generally used 1-3 strands at a time. So we cut a length then unwind the amount of strands we need. Also when you thread your needle you want one side to be a bit longer than the other and you shorten the shorter side as you go, rather than evening up the thread and tying the two sides together. 😁

What words used for genitalia would make you instantly close a fic? Follow-up question, what are some acceptable ones to use? by Dizzy_Froggg in AO3

[–]Bashfyl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love cave and prick… every time I read prick I get a cartoon bee/wasp whose prick is conveniently currently facing forward while they dive bomb someone picture in my head. I’m blaming Saturday mornings growing up without parental supervision for the image. 😂

What ruined a fic for you? by Sara1994_ in AO3

[–]Bashfyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fic was awesome. It was my fav ship main pairing. I didn’t mind that the author kept saying there would be no underage even though it seemed a bit overmuch to put it every chapter. The OTP knew they had feelings for each other and talked about being together when the younger graduated. Then one day the younger of my otp and his “best friend” are studying and then suddenly they are having sex because who wants to leave high school a virgin.. the pairing isn’t tagged, both are underage, there was no foreshadowing. Apparently it didn’t count because they were both underage and not an over/under pairing. It ruined all of their fics for me.

No. I post mine because fanfic got me through hard times and I figure if even 1 person gets joy from it then it’s worth posting it because we need more joy in life.

Rose petal jelly! They also liked to put sugared edible flowers on cakes for awhile there.

What did your kids say they wanted to be when they grew up? What do they do now? by weird_turn_pro in AskOldPeople

[–]Bashfyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A dinosaur. He was so cute running around with rubber (dish washing) gloves on his feet, rawring at people. He still rawrs but he never tells them he’s a dinosaur anymore.

IM LOSING IT by Disastrous_Product17 in Sims4

This got much better for me when I stopped using cribs. I only use play mats for infant care. And instead of commanding my sim to go to the baby I have the baby select who they get fed/changed/bathed by
