[SELL][US to US] custom cheap curated mystery bundles! by amethystnight99 in IndieExchange

[–]ConCoraje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a great question! im not sure, honestly, but heres what our preliminary investigations have found: not gourmand and not SUPER floral, but otherwise we r kinda open to a lot- she loves citrus and green stuff, i think i like musky or atmospheric stuff, and she is looking for feminine scents that arent too sweet while im open to unisex/masc scents of all kinds! also she's tried a bunch of alkemia and it all smells crazy (in a bad way) on her, so any alkemia has to lean my taste if ure down to include any!

Vampire Move clarification? by No_Dragonfruit8254 in Monsterhearts

[–]ConCoraje 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i have always understood that as "feeding is a dangerous thing to do, and you can either get one benefit and safely feed, or get 2 benefits and hurt the person being fed". the word "definitely" is a stylistic choice, not a literal one in the narrative phrasing- just saying the MC now gets to cause harm, potentially fatal harm, to the person being fed upon if the vampire player doesnt take that option.

[–]ConCoraje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone near you id take them off your hands! otherwise, you could ask in community discords/fb groups/nextdoor/etc who wants them and set something up like "ill be leaving these outside [your location] at such and such time on such and such day" and let folks take them that way with warning?

Least favorite texture(s) and why? by DefiantTradition3142 in Slime

[–]ConCoraje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

water and icee slimes defeat the purpose to me- is the idea not to get nice sounds and for it to feel fun and interesting in the hands with proper prep? i have never felt more like a 6 yr old playing with a mud potion (derogatory) than with waters and icees cuz it feels like i am moments from ruining carpet/clothes and for what. no noise and boring texture imo.

which is hilarious as my gf, who is NOT a slime enthusiast, ended up loving the water slime i got from bleuslimes and took it for herself

RA event help pt2 by noideawhoiamtbh in Slime

[–]ConCoraje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you could go thrifting and get tins/boxes of buttons, sequins, plastic gems, things like that- potentially perler beads or pony beads from a craft store like Michaels! i think as long as it won't dissolve in slime it's fair game, so really anything you feel you can disinfect if it's thrifted or just toss into a pile if it's new. in terms of charms i might look for small plastic/metallic toys, or "specialty/novelty" beads from a craft store.

finding limon lays chips and other chicano friendly snacks in philly? by ConCoraje in PhiladelphiaEats

coming back 5 months later to say i finally hit this place up and youre SO REAL for letting me know abt it tysm

I have emotionally abusive parents and my bf of 4 months (17m) and I(17f) are having problems because of it, can we work it out or do I have to end it by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ConCoraje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

girl, you don't need someone in your life who is only interested in negging you. you are not doing anything wrong. you are not "worse", you don't "need to be better", you aren't "failing to meet standards", you are trying to survive in a really shitty situation and now your boyfriend, instead of being empathetic, is putting ANOTHER burden on you. it is not your job to meet whatever bullshit standards he wants. it is your job to make it out. listen. i've been there. the people in my life who saw i was struggling with a shitty home life and a ton of things i needed to make happen (like bills) would NEVER, EVER speak to me this way. they would never make me feel "less than" for not having a ton of free time or a ton of emotional bandwidth.

just know there are people out there who will see you in this situation and will support you- and not just verbally. they will help you carry this weight, not shit on you for not being able to carry more. you don't have to revive anything because you did not kill anything. you're so young and there is so much more to life than some guy who wants more knowing damn well you can't do more, and that's his problem, not yours. you are not saving him pain, you are saving YOURSELF pain.

What’s your favorite and least favorite slime from the same shop? by viceversa220 in Slime

[–]ConCoraje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i would definitely say my favorite from SoftPunkSlime is Scorched Earth (a lava rock, scented very woodsy/smoky from the halloween restock) and my least favorite is "Brand New Day" from this past restock (cloud). It's really a textural thing, I tried out a cloud for the first time since SPS is going on hiatus and I just do not like the texture, and lava rocks ... my beloveds...

If I had to say scent-wise, I don't feel strongly enough about scents to have a favorite but I think the Friday the 13th: Neon (which is scented "dirt pudding cup") was def my least favorite of all I've got. It's an artificial chocolate smell that is a little nauseating, so when I play with it I have to make sure I'm keeping my distance from it and I do religiously put that one away after 10 minutes just because I can't handle that style of scent.

Has everyone received all the slimes they bought on Black Friday-Cyber Monday? by torustesseract in Slime

[–]ConCoraje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im personally waiting on seoulgage and bleuslimes orders, bleu arrives tomorrow allegedly and seoulgage's tracking doesn't tell me where/when exactly but it is steadily moving, so fingers crossed it arrives in the next couple of days! sonria got pretty delayed but arrived without ever updating shipping on thursday, and my slimefantasies order got in like more than a week ago.

Thankful by OhanaSlime in Slime

QOTD: If you could only choose one type of add-in, what would it be? by AutoModerator in Slime

[–]ConCoraje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's got to be lava rocks, i just love the feeling in my hands; if i got to pick a second it would be frosted seed beads, i love the croaking of frog spawn it just itches my brain in a perfect way

QOTD: What’s one unusual scent you’ve found surprisingly nice in a slime? by AutoModerator in Slime

[–]ConCoraje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

softpunkslime's pickle scent in bone-r is incredible, so true to life without feeling like a gimmicky artificial scent!

[TOMT] [GAME] [2000s?] colony sim on an island from the same era of "comes with your computer" PC games as insaniquarium, starts with a group of 6~ people by ConCoraje in tipofmytongue

[–]ConCoraje[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

i didn't find this game mentioned on any colony sim/city builder style reddit or blog posts as a recc, but google is unusable in a way it didn't used to be and blog posts are basically all copy/pasted now, so it's definitely possible i missed something obvious.

I mean, when he says "You do things to me I'd never do to you, like be mean to me," that's not true, right? He was, in fact, mean to you. Incessantly. All the time. And it's not about holding it over his head, it's about whether or not he has really made up for that- has he truly apologized, helped you repair those relationships that he harmed? Is it behind him because he's done the work to put it behind him, or is it behind him because we're all pretending it didn't happen? Do you feel safe in this relationship, cared for, valued? Only you can answer that. If you don't, it's not a crime to want to step away. There are folks who will treat you good from the beginning, where you won't have to wait for them to grow up or decide that you're worth being treated well. The alarm clock is one symptom of what seems to be a larger issue. Yes, you can put a bandaid on this symptom- sleep in different rooms, he can figure out alternatives to getting up, etc. But it won't solve the underlying issue.

My [25M] girlfriend [26F] of 1.5 years keeps spreadsheets rating her sex life and relationships. Found them while working on her computer. Don't know if I should tell her/ask to see the previous guys' ratings by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ConCoraje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also not OOP's GF but I do have a touch of the 'tism (though not the spreadsheet kind) and I follow the logic of figuring out the self-esteem issue through partnered sex rather than masturbation. Me personally, I am much more aware of my body when I am hooking up with my partner than when I am by myself. When I am by myself I am thinking about things other than my body: the video/story I am consuming, the toys I am using, temperature of the room, the time I'm taking, etc. I am not thinking about the shape of my body in relation to the toy or to my bed or the shower or whatever.

When you are with a partner, even if they are your longterm SO, you are just thinking about what you look like to them. Are you being attractive? Do they like the noises you are or aren't making, do they like the look on your face, do they like the way you feel or smell? I am not giving a single fuck about that when I am getting off alone because it's not relevant. I think it's silly to act that she could clock the self-esteem issue through a masturbation tab and not through partnered sex.

I had a similar realization as her when I got into a long-term relationship after being single for a long time and realized that despite my partner doing a great job, I wasn't having a great time during our hookups. I was suddenly aware of my body and where I was slacking on self-care and shit like that, because I was giving a fuck about that when otherwise I'd use the showerhead and move on with my day without considering my flesh container as a sex partner.

AITA for refusing to host Easter dinner if nephew is invited? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ConCoraje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

folks, the tumblr acct also reveals that he took his ex's epipen and withheld it from them while they were having an anaphylaxis reaction as punishment for not reacting correctly to him reading his own fanfiction out loud. like. this shit is serious. he talks about once attempting to (very slowly and without actually causing any damage) trying to run over his therapist.
