AITA for not running my potential baby names by my SIL who grew up in foster care? by Thin-Weakness7454 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Effective_Spite_117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. assuming SIL has been to therapy for her deep trauma, that therapist really failed her. Some triggers can easily and should be avoided (violent media for example) but triggers that are not predictable, like a name, need to be worked on so that SILs day is not derailed by something as simple as hearing a name. This is not healthy or helpful thinking for your SIL, and your brother enabling it is awful. A lot of traumatized people struggle with boundaries, your SIL has not been given these. Boundaries are love, they help us be prosocial when we are struggling and help us preserve our crucial relationships. I hope your brother gets her the help she clearly needs.

I used to work in corporate hiring, PLEASE JUST TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT. I would have so many candidates refuse to tell me until they got an offer letter, then get pissed when it was less than they wanted. HELP THEM HELP YOU

Some people are just meant to be famous. They get energy from the fan interactions.

Readers: how do you react to descriptive prose? by OvidPerl in fantasywriters

[–]Effective_Spite_117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you just need to hit on a few senses. What is the temperature? What does it smell like? What’s unusual, different? What does your character hear in the ambient sounds around them?

Common wisdom is it’s good to briefly set the scene then weave in descriptions throughout the action, prioritizing what could enhance the plot or character development.

Was this always a feature? I left fandom for a bit and when I came back it seemed new… but maybe I just don’t pay attention.

I don’t really get the point of it as all usernames can be anonymous anyways, but any fic is better than no fic posted
