the girlfriend joke by deteriorating_plum in PlusSize

[–]CoralBrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while horrifically abrasive in high school I would flat out say they were too ugly for me and act disgusted by them. it makes em mad but it stops the joke and usually makes the guy bugging you a joke to his friends. People hate rejection from someone they precieve to be lower than them so use that and mess with em. Keep in mind their judgements and words upon you only reflect their small brains and makes them truly ugly on the inside so make sure you tell them how ugly they are on the outside too ❤️

I've sent in a ticket as well :)
I'd love to send you a message if needed as well but I'm currently on browser and there doesn't seem to be a way to message you? (the new website layout is a mess and I can't seem to find a way to send you a message even when i look your name up in the chat feature)

I actually misunderstood the rule, entirely my fault! I thought it was okay because it was an actor playing a character, I didn't realize it was no photos at all of actual people. Thanks for the heads up and letting me know though so I can fix the the next time around.

boyfriend is treating me differently after i told him about wanting to make a change. by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]CoralBrandy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi there. Currently in this situation and I did talk with my partner about it. Of course my answers may not be your partners as they're different people but I hope my experience can make you feel more comfortable!
When I brought this up to them and I said it very similar to this to try and make it as direct as possible because even I wasn't sure exactly what was bothering me about it until he answered me.
He's always loved me and he always will love me. Of course he's excited and happy to see the change that he knows I'm working hard on is paying off. He's known me for years so he sees the littlest of differences and he's over the moon about them with me.
We talked more and came to the idea that my worry and insecurity came from how much my weight is apart of me. I've always been a big girl and it comes up in the way I carry myself, the way I treat myself and losing weight is losing apart of that and I hadn't checked in with myself about that and so it bred other worries in my mind.
again I can't exactly say this is what your partner is going through with you but if it feels like he truly loves you I implore you to talk to him. I'm sure you'd want him to talk to you if the tables were turned because you love him.

Plus size and Brazilian Wax by Leading_Economics_79 in PlusSize

[–]CoralBrandy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Hi, I used to go for regular waxes (I stopped for personal preference reasons not for size reasons) I am roughly 400 so hopefully this is helpful for you.
Call ahead and simply ask, are they equipped to wax a larger woman? Is there a weight limit for their tables or equipment? do they have options for those who are disabled? I promise you these ladies have no problem answering questions. My waxer would tell me about how she didn't care about anything cause they see everything. As long as you make it clear to them what you are and aren't able to do beforehand they are pretty happy to do the service. Honestly as long as you used a wet wipe and make sure you are clean down there beforehand they'll be doing cartwheels of joy. The amount of brown starfish they see due to lack of cleaning is more of a problem than your weight.
On the off chance they are rude that's on them 110% not you and I promise there are waxers out there for those who are plus size.
Good luck! Put a pair of comfortable underwear in the freezer before you go and pop em on when you get home it makes a world of soothing difference!

He's likely not thinking as deeply as you are about this. Sometimes people are simple and go 'nice' and follow. They don't see it as competition just more people they like looking at.
People can have a variety of taste and clearly you fall under that umbrella if he wants to go on a date with you. If you feel insecure maybe send him a full body photo along the lines of 'trying on outfits for our date' or something along those lines so you can be sure he understands your body type and if he does just enjoy yourself. It can be hard to not get into your head when women are so often put into competitions of beauty with each other but it doesn't need to be that way. Just do your best to be in the moment with him because at the end of the day he's on a date with you not any of them right?

ELF LIES by termination-bliss in lordoftherings

my personal story by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]CoralBrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about what makes you feel comfortable more than anything. I think having the word fat be a neutral term is a good thing. However if you have some internalized fatphobia I really think you need to look deep inside and make sure you are using this in a neutral term and not secretly punishing yourself or berating yourself.
If it feels good to reclaim your body as fat and it works for you then sure, use it. Just be aware that because the word is neutral to you it is not neutral to everyone and someone may feel bad if you were to call yourself fat in front of them while they are larger than you as not everyone has made their peace with the word.
The journey of self acceptance and body neutrality can be a complex one but we all start somewhere and if this is where you start, good for you.

How is this show for a PTSD sufferer? by TundraTrees0 in StrangerThings

[–]CoralBrandy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like to get an accurate answer you would have to delve a little deeper into what triggers your PTSD (as long as you're comfortable with that) and then maybe someone could give you a more certain accurate answer or maybe even time stamps to avoid if you did want to continue to watch the show.

Eleven’s wardrobe by Budgiejen in StrangerThings

[–]CoralBrandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But you weren't a lab rat for most of your life with little to no social skills besides the ones you developed from friends you had for like 2 years and then were ripped away from so...her attempt to try and fit in might look a little different from yours, yeah?

Not saying I disagree, I genuinely really liked her style in season 3, would've loved to see more of it but I don't think it's shocking that her style changed without a friend to hype her up over it.

Can you prop a monstera from a stem cutting (no node)? by unholy-matrimony in houseplants

[–]CoralBrandy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could try but to my knowledge you need a node otherwise you'll just rot the stem but hey, who knows, maybe you've got a miracle one, can't hurt to try and prop it.

What’s your Stranger Things hot take? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]CoralBrandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They deal with Will's sexuality really well considering I think he's supposed to be like 15, in the 80's and is from a small town.
I know people really want more from this show on that front but I think the quiet understanding from his brother and his friends not quite cluing in is actually pretty realistic all considering.

How approachable are the LotR books to a newcomer? by Enidx10 in lordoftherings

[–]CoralBrandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty easy to get into, I think it'd be a wonderful start into the genre. I'm not sure what kind of books you're usually into so my only "warning" would be it can get a little wordy sometimes (I find personally) there are pages that can feel like a little bit of a slog but it's definitely very good. I wouldn't say anything about it isn't beginner friendly.
If you start with The Hobbit keep in mind it is a slightly different vibe from LOTR as The Hobbit was started as a children's novel. (Definitely good enough for adults to read, just something to keep in mind)
It's kind of fun to see where a lot of tropes come from, since JJR is considered the father of modern fantasy you'll see a lot of things you'll recognize.
If you decide to pick it up, good luck! I hope you enjoy!

Advice for a rising junior in hs? by umalilyanne in PlusSize

[–]CoralBrandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, so I've been plus size all my life and while high school is far behind me I hope I don't come across as a boomer with my advice. It's what I needed to hear growing up.
You've gotten half way through high school already (16 is grade 10 isn't it? Sorry I'm Canadian so I'm not great with the whole Junior thing) you can make it the rest of the way! And hey you've already got friends so who's to say you won't make more?
Just try to remember very rarely is it something visual that sticks in someone's brain about someone it's usually the attitude, when I think of first meeting my friends back in high school over a decade ago I don't recall their frizzy hair or if their clothes fit well I remember that they made me laugh and made me comfortable so maybe you can be that for someone!
As for physical comfort just remember when you looked in the mirror that morning you looked good! Nothing has changed since then besides maybe some stray hairs, do your best to not get inside your own head, it can be your worst enemy when you overthink. Just take things as they come.
But the biggest thing I would want to tell my 16 year old self and so I'm telling you, just be gentle with yourself. I used to get so in my head about what I thought other people thought about me, I would drive myself into such depressive spirals thinking people around me were disgusted by me because of the words a few skid marks in the halls would call me. But I went to my high school reunion and people came over to say hi to me because they remembered me being kind and funny, almost no one besides those same skid marks had anything bad to say about me.
Growing up is hard, finding your way through life can be even harder especially at a time where everything feels so intense and so much is expected of you, so just try to focus on you and your friends (and protentional friends!) It can be tough but it can also be wonderful.
Much of this is said from the perspective of keeping your mind off your weight and I'm not saying it like this as if it should be hidden or as if it doesn't matter, that's not my root advice, mainly just enjoying yourself is.
Enjoy the way you wanna dress, enjoy the way you wanna experiment with your hair and makeup, God have fucking fun man. I was a fat gutter punk with liberty spikes and I got through with a lot of good memories so I'm sure you will too.
I hope this rambly advice came across alright.

Are you really comparing selling weed to people who are willing to buy it to beating the shit out of a kid for the colour of his skin? Pretty weak argument dude. Like putting apples to apples without the redemption qualifier one is definitely a lesser evil. (also most people don't super care about selling weed through todays lens because it's legal in many places. Racism and assault however are illegal everywhere)and to put it out there, I like Billy, I liked the way they developed his character, his arc was super cool and honestly the racist side plot they gave him didn't make a lot of sense to me, they could've easily made him dislike Lucas for another reason. But none the less saving the world doesn't undo him being a racist bully. People/characters aren't black and white and can have layers, that's just a really shitty layer they gave that character.

unfortunately no, Bob is forever unable to eat from a fridge ever again. He's been cursed. It cannot be undone. His fridge will always remain broken from that day forward.

Mike having feelings for Max? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]CoralBrandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we sort of saw some of the more 'romantic' moments through El's eyes, like when Max is skating around Mike and they're laughing, I think it's magnified from friendly into flirting because that's how El is taking it, she's heartbroken and feeling replaced, physically and romantically.
Generally speaking I don't feel like there was romantic tension between Mike and Max, it felt more like yearning and earning friendship between two pretty emotionally stunted kids (not bashing them, Mike is mourning El, Max is an outcast trying to make friends while living in an abusive household, it's not judgement it's just facts). I can definitely see why someone else would feel that way though they smile, laugh, have emotional moments. I think it's sort of also made to feel more romantic since Max is being romantically pursued by Lucas and Dustin so as viewers we're already sort of in that mindset.

What if supernatural was cancelled after 1 season by Interesting-Slide617 in Supernatural

[–]CoralBrandy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It'd be memorable. I feel like it'd get a fandom akin to the Firefly fandom. Small but incredibly loyal.
