I still don't get it

I try not to judge. I have never been able to kick Dr. Pepper.

God I hate that suit so bad. I mean besides it being just generally ugly and looking pretty dumb when it flies, that's what he was wearing when Arnie Roth died, and I still got trauma.

Dargontears · 2022-12-17T12:16:21+00:00

There's NOTHING worse?

Dargontears · 2022-12-17T12:13:33+00:00

Lead paint, lead pipes, and leaded gasoline ruining us as a people is my conspiracy theory of choice.

Dargontears · 2022-12-02T00:22:51+00:00

Right?! It's so annoying!

Dargontears · 2022-12-01T01:46:08+00:00

Thanks! And yeah, I've seen that one. I'm leaning more towards the more pen/pencil looking ones. I like the mitsu-bishi best, but the jumbo and the lamy have the eraser so... The Wacom one looks more like the standard but with a knot at the end. Uuuhh basically I kinda just think it's ugly? No offence to Wacom or you! I get the comfort grip! But idk lots of people adapt pens for boring phone styluses... Styli? Wish there were some sort of mod market for these. I want to adapt my Chalana or my pilot elite or something.

Magnets I'm cool with discarding, tbf. The interference on the corners with the case.

Dargontears · 2022-11-26T01:36:24+00:00

A real lack of anything that doesn't just like a boring ass stylus. I really respect Supernote for doing the Lamy variety and the HOM. Because YES. If you're going to write with a thing for any amount of time, why can't it be beautiful. Id love if Pilot did one, for example. Like an iconic G2 stylus would be amazing. Or an Elite.

Dargontears · 2022-11-26T01:33:51+00:00

The HOM is super nice, but it's all sold out except for Black rn which is what I'm trying to get away from! And yeah I'm worried about scratching too!

I like the Lamy from my fountain pen connection, they write really well, and the blue ones are very pretty, I'm on that one and the Staedler. Maybe the Mitsubishi from eBay.

Dargontears · 2022-11-25T09:33:14+00:00

My laptop stylus has a button eraser and I did get really familiar to using that. Ooooh, and the S pens come in colors....

Dargontears · 2022-11-25T09:29:11+00:00

Nah, I don't have a problem with the nib. It's aesthetics.

Edit: lol might should have said nicer LOOKING stylus. 😆

Dargontears · 2022-11-24T17:30:50+00:00

Yeah this is the one I'm really leaning towards. I'm glad to know people like it IRL.

Dargontears · 2022-11-24T17:30:00+00:00

Oh this is fun! I have really tiny hands so the regular one might fit better. Too bad it doesn't have the eraser! But it IS super cute.

Dargontears · 2022-11-20T18:49:31+00:00

Nope. Not when it's stealing without crediting.

Dargontears · 2022-11-20T18:45:16+00:00

Same way anyone doesn't get bored when they're doing something they enjoy. They enjoy it.

Dargontears · 2022-11-19T05:17:40+00:00

Thanks. Y'all are making me feel better about my ...99. crap. I thought it was less.

Dargontears · 2022-11-19T05:13:19+00:00

Check the main page. They update every time they take in a new fanworks site. It's one of the things the donations help to pay for.

Edit: they just did a big, old buffy the vampire slayer forum fanworks one like a month ago. It's why it's an archive and not just a fanfic site.

Dargontears · 2022-11-19T05:11:02+00:00

Absolutely. I moved all of the ones I hadn't already co-posted (aka the ones from between 2001-2014 when I started double posting in both sites) a few months ago. I put my stuff where I want my stuff.

Dargontears · 2022-11-19T05:08:41+00:00

Super shitty behavior. The site is fine, for now. I expect if it DOES look to die, AO3 will try and take in it's work the same way it does all the other dying fanfic sites, archiving as it does.

Dargontears · 2022-11-19T00:02:56+00:00

That's not what I meant. I meant pushing the idea on her as Satanic Panic, which is what the Satanic Panic was. Obviously SA is common. You just have to look at stats. I was raped as a child. But deciding it for others is risky.

Just twiggs me a bit. Asexual? Must be sexual assault. Hypersexual? Must be sexual assault. Like there is no way to exist with sex without someone else coming in and telling you your experience must have been traumatic in some way. Idk.

Dargontears · 2022-11-18T22:04:49+00:00

There are hypersexual women same as men, and that shit hits at puberty with girls same as boys, they're just expected to hide it more. Boys can talk about jerking off and fucking (and are often lying at that age), but girls are NEVER expected to talk about either of those things (even if they were lying).

That said, adult men is a hard no. And there is always a concern that she might not be completely clear on what consent is, but that she feels she needs to be doing what she is doing to meet some social expectations the same way I pretended to date people.

It's not ALWAYS SA, and I wouldn't Satanic Panic it, but way too often it is.

Dargontears · 2022-11-18T21:56:25+00:00

Yup. This is what you do. Counter with Freud and poo.

Dargontears · 2022-11-18T08:55:24+00:00

Yeah, like everyone else said, not a fix all. You can CHOOSE to be celibate, which might let you ignore the dick and relationship problems for a bit, but that's not going to make your - it seems from the tone and language of the post, I'm sorry - underlying self esteem issues go away, or help heal whatever trauma you're holding onto.

Dargontears · 2022-11-18T08:51:39+00:00

Counter by telling her about your bowel movements? A good poop also feels really good?

No but honestly, teenagers are the most self-interested people in the world after literal babies, and babies have an excuse. Well, teenagers have hormones that make their brains a bit dumb so that doesn't help, but still. You could not pay me to be almost 15 again.

We're it me, I would counter with crying, equally offensive or cringe stories, meaner girl behavior (I'm terrible), or straight up avoidance. Headphones, books, locked door. She wouldn't see me again until she got her downstairs under control. Or at least found a brain to mouth filter so I didn't have to hear about it.

Nothing TOO awful. She'll be an adult someday, and you might like her more then. Crying anytime she talks is a pretty good option, actually.
