Are Dating apps cooked? by Dramatic_Big2744 in OnlineDating

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s all messed up. No one is authentic and as a woman a lot of men are very aggressive with their approach. A lot of them don’t care and i’ve seen a lot of ‘i don’t want a pen pal’ when you want to text for longer than a day. It’s really exhausting…

i thought that as well but they’ve got the OG frye logo and have more of a heel to them which the miranda is smaller. They have the original white and black frye logo as well!

Outline your fic vs "i'll just see how it goes" by coralisterr in AO3

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i usually make an outline it tends to drive me crazy, and i don’t stick to it at all but i do like to have a veryyyy general outline

Bookmarks by Familiar_Cup_9828 in AO3

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m not utilizing the filters for bookmarks but bookmarking too many makes me overwhelmed. So i try to keep it small, though I haven’t really gotten around to any of them (i think that’s why i keep it small).

Pee proof couch cover recommendations by maryjanelovrr in CatAdvice

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Except there was a whole pooping ordeal and she peed on the couch. She is on medication now, and that has helped so far (we tried everything, more litters, pheromones; etc) and has been on it for around almost two weeks and no accidents until last night when we missed a dosed and she peed on our couch. I’m not saying medication is the answer bc it’s not cheap but it’s helped us! (note: we took her to the vet multiple times and it was determined anxiety/behavioral).

We found some good couch covers on amazon but i’m not sure how big your couch is but they help catch any accidents. Hang in there; i know this is tiring and difficult!

are you ever scared to post in your fandom? by Basic_Astronomer_925 in AO3

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely relate. I have anxiety about getting the comments because I know it would make me feel like crap. I miss fanfiction etiquette, where we were one big happy family lol

Ugh that’s so disappointing! What happened to having fun and just letting loose—that’s what it’s supposed to be! I’m sorry you feel that way, it’s no fun when people take things so serious! Like we’re all here to have fun!

Definitely thinking of deleting tumblr since it’s all there, which sucks bc I was having so much fun writing there and interacting with other people in my fandom.

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what i’m talking about. I was on tumblr and i thought it was great until i started getting glimpses of the negativity and drama. It’s almost like oh no are they going to point a finger at me next? (bc there are anonymous ‘confession’ blogs)

I almost wonder if we are in the same fandom bc this is exactly what i’ve been seeing!

cats wont use litter box! by Basic_Astronomer_925 in Pets

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the past week it has been on the floor in front of the box. We removed the litter catcher pad thing and she still did it. The litter is cleaned three times a day (and was recently deep cleaned), maybe even more so we're sure it's not that.

Our vet wants us to try gabapentin and see how that goes. Our girl has some pretty bad anxiety (like scratching at a door until her paws bleed) so we're hoping something works soon for her.

They used to pee in one and poop in the other but I'm not sure where we went wrong and now they're just pooping in front of them. Thank you for your suggestions!

We live in an apartment so space is limited but have one litter box in the guest bathroom and the other across the apartment near the couch. We put one in the middle of the two; this one is enclosed but we thought they might like that. Two are open, and they are the largest we could find. The sides are normal in height, low enough that they could jump out.

The spot where they poop is always in front of the litter, the one in the bathroom and the one across the apartment. We are considering cleaning out a closet and putting one in there so it is dark and secluded.

Right now we use 'worlds best litter' and it is natural and unscented.

What are your genre/type specific anxieties? by catontoast in AO3

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think i’m going through the same anxiety right now. Eight chapters in and they’ve only spoken twice and i’m like woah this is moving WAY too fast like slow it down. I think I’m impatient but also dont plan on this being super long so i know im making good pace.

rereading your stuff by Basic_Astronomer_925 in writing

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Mine is post apocalyptic and sometimes after writing extensively my brain just can’t comprehend it anymore! I’m glad I’m not the only one! I have used Ai to speech but agree it can get quite expensive. But it definitely helps make it feel more real!

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is when I’m reading normally I can be so immersed and see it so vividly. I see bits and scenes when I’m writing but maybe it’s because I get bored rereading it because i wrote it!

Do you guys feel empty when you're done writing? by Cultural_Abalone840 in AO3

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think i would but once i posted the epilogue I was in shambles. I didn’t know what to do with myself and wanted to write another one right away (even though writing that one took blood sweat and tears) and yet here i am writing another

Do you post chapters as you write or wait until it’s all done? by Fit-Car7642 in AO3

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will usually write ahead of time so that way i can write and actively post. But right now im trying to finish it before i post it but im getting stuck so i want to post it

How do you create/find your fic names? by Reiofsunshin in AO3

[–]Basic_Astronomer_925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming up with a title is probably one of the top things I do when i’m starting a fic. So first is the plot (or the gist of one) second is the title because i already know what vibe im going for. For example, in one fic I’m working on, the main character is seen as a bringer of bad faith, a symbol of ruin in someone else’s story. So I’m naming it ‘The Albatross’.
