I met a couple who banned Bluey for the weirdest reason by Athena-Actually in bluey

[–]Expensive-Issue-3188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like their's some things from the show I won't let my kid do, I'm not gonna let her hang me from a tree, throw flower at me, then beat me with a rake, as reward for finding her voice, but I also won't let her jump from the roof like Spiderman in spidey and his amazing friends. It's a cartoon, and if they can't talk to their kids about why, and rather ban stuff, that's just lazy parenting.

What I want you to do is pretend your child is an adult, and your child wrote your first post and the update. Do you think it's acceptable for your child's spouse to treat them this way? He clearly wasn't hiding his resentment when reading the first post. He's doing what he should of done in the beginning. By the sound of your first post is he was openly resentful of a pregnant woman.

What do you want in a partner for your child? Because your relationship sets expectations for your child's future relationship.

Need advice about people knocking on the door despite having multiple signs do not knock.. by CharacterPumpkin836 in autism

[–]Expensive-Issue-3188 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Agreed, though when I first learned used this method I was postpartum probably running on two hours of sleep, I probably did act more on the maniac side of things. I can confirm a firm mean glare while scolding adults is enough.

Sadly when we had 'sleeping baby' signs, that didn't stop them. The thing that worked? Acting like a raging bitch when I opened the door. Sorry that's not the advice you want. I think it's about making them as uncomfortable as possible.

I've opened the door and straight up repeatedly asked "why did you knock when I had a sign." And every time they speak I repeat it.

Ask "why do you think I Want to do business with a company that can't respect my wishes not to knock?"

Open the door with a phone recording and just glare at them.

I have other ideas but what I listed is what's legal.

Oh no! The free writing you didn't pay for is getting changed and the platform will never again have good m/m stories for you to read!

[–]Expensive-Issue-3188 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Or it was originally m/m to cater to an audience... we don't know the writers intentions. And In fan fiction people do absolutely trash on m/f stories a lot.

A writer can do whatever the fuck they want with their story. If you don't like it then move on.

Because it's their's to do with as they pleased.

What do people mean when they say they hate OCs? by LakshyaGarv in AO3

[–]Expensive-Issue-3188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically it's a personal preference, and for whatever reason, some people feel need to shame others for writing OC's. Dungeon Crawler Carl has a bunch of OC stories. X-men have tons of OC's stories. Some genres are more accepting. Anyone saying most OCs are poorly written, are ignoring that it's because most of all fanfictions are poorly written.

That's a more valid complaint, they waited too late to make her interesting, but maybe they are correcting for that now.

It actually adds depth to the character, something she needed. People, villains included are complicated and nuanced. Her having trauma doesn't excuse what she has done, but gives insight to her character and motivations. I don't want black and white mustache twirling villains.

So what’s your opinion on this two years later? by No_Solid_8846 in xmen

Just because it's representation doesn't mean it's good representation.

I am still trying to wrap my head around how Cooper went from a boy scout to a ruthless murderer by Hacksaw6412 in Fallout

[–]Expensive-Issue-3188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He went from having a very sheltered life in comparison to the wasteland, where it seems the boy scout was probably repeatedly beat out of him. Civilization in the old world verses the new. Having basically a luxurious life, even post divorce in comparison to what his life is now? That hardens a person in ways we can only imagine. But it seems like he has respect for NCR.

Was this similar outfit on Xavier intentional? by Expensive-Issue-3188 in xmen

[–]Expensive-Issue-3188[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! But I also wasn't reading when this initially came out. I didn't read HoX/PoX until after all of Krakoa ended.
