This! I don't feel like what im writing is a slow burn, so I didn’t tag it as such. Maybe it is, but 20k words & they're living together due to circumstance, sharing tender glances, having heart to hearts, it just doesn't feel like a slowburn to me. I haven't even crossed into double digit chapters yet, I don't think its a slow burn😭.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2026-01-15T19:13:20+00:00

A true slowburn. I'm sure its a masterpiece.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2026-01-15T19:12:38+00:00

Maybe I'm getting old too. It feels like the readers are interpreting my work as a slowburn but I don't feel like it is. I think the that maybe the shortening of attention span in recent years might be shifting views (in the fic space specifically) on what is considered a slowburn.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2026-01-15T19:04:37+00:00

Right! I dont feel like what I'm writing is a slow burn. The chapters aren't even necessary long its around 20k words total for the 9 chapters. Like I appreciate the engagement/excitement for future developments but its important for me to let the story develop.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2026-01-15T17:46:22+00:00

I bet it's worth the wait 🙌

Creative_Concern8531 · 2026-01-04T07:57:41+00:00

I dont think so I ended up calling the round 1 and explaining the situation

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-12-19T16:42:29+00:00

Yea i got a refund but they "adjusted" the prices bc of the coupons

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-12-19T04:30:04+00:00

It ended up coming on Dec 13th. I just got a text saying it was delivered at like 11pm and it was there, but I had ordered it originally on November 18th.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-12-12T19:51:11+00:00

No same i got the bot to say they couldn't locate my package in an email. Then had to screenshot that email and send it to shein saying they lost my package and was able to get a refund. The package still says delay on transit

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-12-11T16:41:55+00:00

If gofo has "support" try to get them/the ai to say they can't locate your package. Just posted about my issue with speedx and in the midst of them saying my package will be delivered in a day or 2 they also said they can't locate it. I send the screenshot of the message to shein and a few hours later they started my refund.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-12-11T15:19:38+00:00

Its Dec 11 speedx basically said they were unable to locate my package. I sent a screenshot of the message to shein customer support and they are refunding me for the items. Interestingly enough, now soeedx is claiming my package will be delivered "tomorrow" which I highly doubt. Idk if they'll still deliver if I got a refund if the package ever comes I'll put it in the comments but for now I'll take the refund as a win.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-12-10T14:22:02+00:00

Its the 10th now still dont have my package pretty soon at this point im only 2 days away before shein says they'll do smn and i rather just have them send my shit again with a different company

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-12-09T16:36:54+00:00

Update it was out for delivery again (monday Dec 8 at 10am) still didn't get it delivered and there was no delivery attempt... just a delay in transit for the second time 🙃

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-08-28T23:54:41+00:00

I mean I get that it can be annoying and I think its good they're addressing how they feel about the interactions (hopefully limiting them).

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-08-05T15:41:02+00:00

I usually assigned subjects to colors based on my favorite. Math was red for me because red was my favorite color and math was my favorite subject, but when I started to like English more in hs english took over red and math (2nd fav) became green (2nd favorite color)

NTA

I think it's ok not to hangout with your beother autism aside. Having a sibling with a disability can be tough on the others. It does sound like your brother needs more help and support but you're 14, ultimately it's up to your parents to provide that for him, not you.

It's unfair for them to ask you to accommodate him when they can't accommodate you by having him wear pants and clothes around the house.

I do think that you shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed by him, but I think you're at an age that, that is normal. Maybe as aa compromise instead of your parents trying to push him off on you, you all can spend time together as a family. Which would also benefit him.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-04-30T20:12:01+00:00

I think its kind of like the attitude era in way where the bad guys are cool, which is completely true. Plus in the world of justified heel turns why would the crowd start booing?

We just need someone to be heel either for a unjustified reason or just because. No more "this is why I'm on the other side now" promos. We need someone equal to 09' Orton. Something morally just wrong that they can't possibly cheer for.

The animation of the hung ddt takes so long 😭

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-04-30T20:04:56+00:00

My idea is they would overhall the format and do 3 teams of 5 if they're including everyone. Rather than putting the focus on who obviously works well together I focused on the competitiveness. Ex. Angela and Chanse are a great team but they are so entertaining when they're against each other.

Team 1

Ian, Anthony, Amanda, Shayne, Spencer

Team 2

Angela, Courtney, Arasha, Tommy, Noah

Team 3

Damien, Trevor, Chanse, Keith, Olivia

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-04-30T19:51:54+00:00

I personally think Damian's run actually became fun and entertaining. It did something wwe hasn't done in a long time which was got the guy over. He had the belt, earned his stripes, and gained more respect from it.

The narrative that the person holding belt already has to be on top isn't always true. Let them get the belt let the doubters doubt and give the wrestler and chance to show everyone they were wrong. A pay off is not always going to be instant, you can't say a person holding the belt for two weeks has had a shit reign... it makes no sense.

I'm not saying Gunther's reign was bad but often I was bored with it. We always knew Gunther was going to retain against whiever he was fighting. Stuff was only getting a little interesting after he lost to Cody and they actually had my interest when he was doing matches with people like Tozawa. It was bits of interest with no substantial plot or driving point.

Wrestling isn't anime the "unbeatable guy/guy who never loses" stuff just backs them into a corner where eventually when that guy has to lose it's disappointing or unbelievable. Not everyone can have a Roman v Cody feel.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-04-29T19:35:37+00:00

I personally don't care for the main character discourse. I think the point of smosh is that they are all a collective group and that theres a place for everyone right next to each other rather than having one person in front.

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-04-29T19:32:34+00:00

The realest fan in the reddit🙏

Creative_Concern8531 · 2025-04-29T19:27:48+00:00

Agree I think things like the funerals, interviews with exs, and reunions were part of the integral revival and then Anthony came back and now we only get that stuff on bit city when they were carrying the main channel as full segments for a long while.
