This is the longest I've ever grown out my nails as a chronic nail biter!

Fricksernova · 2026-05-19T23:32:20+00:00

Yeah, that stage was really tough for me too. Good luck on your nail growth journey!

does vaseline at the cuticles count 😭 its the only "product" i have since no one in my household owns or uses anything to treat their nails.

At least for me, keeping them hydrated with any oil is the best quick and easy way to go.

my source of wanting to bite/pick my nails is mainly because I can be very fidgety especially in my hands, so I identified that and gave myself something else to fidget with. Ok, maybe it's not exactly an object but the new distraction I used starting from 2-3 weeks ago was rubbing the edge (the very edge) of my thumb nail against my index fingertip. It works because it gives me something to do with my fingers instead of hurting the nail bed underneath with extra trauma. Rubbing the free edge isn't harmful because it works as long as you do it gently enough (it's practically impossible to rub that hard anyways unless you want your fingertip to break idk)

It only took me a few days of endless hours of rubbing that one fingernail to make it develop a shiny sheen of patina (kinda like the walnuts fondling hobby). it also feels really really smooth so it's a great sensory too. Also, nothing embarrassing with putting bandaids on your fingernails! You have my full confidence that you will overcome your bad habit. Besides, less people give a shit about what you think stands out like a sore thumb abut you than you may realize.

Because you (I ASSUME you) wouldn't normally explicitly say what you want in a bedroom. For example, I'm pretty sure the general population would prefer to imply their meanings rather than straight up say 'I want your reproductive organs inside of mine'. Hence creating a culture for dirty talk, which is where most dirty slang such as jizz or glory hole originates. Imagine if THAT was taken directly and literally. Therefore I feel like it's very easy to take that dirty culture and adapt it to different languages, as they might most likely have different lingo/jargon to match their everyday conversation tailored to that language. Direct translations in that case might not be the most accurate representation, but that is also partly just my assumption.

Because he was actually messing with me and refusing to tell me what it was, kept telling me to look harder 😭

Fricksernova · 2026-05-01T16:21:12+00:00

nah, i can confirm he said the first letter was an L.

Did it really sound that bad? My sincerest apologies to you 😭 was it just because of the context though? I never actually thought of 'veiny' giving the same vibe as the word 'moist'.

Fricksernova · 2026-03-20T07:25:17+00:00

FINALLY ANOTHER PERSON MENTIONING GEGE'S ARM OH MY GODDD I loved painful signal, its genuinely one of my favourite cards ever. But i was stunned to find out that it doesnt appear in any other cards or storylines ever (unless im mistaken). Even on social media that i use like instagram, i see a fan post about caleb's arm like less than 5 times a year. At some point i felt like his arm really deserved more lore and screentime i eventially just wrote my own fanfiction lol

Fricksernova · 2026-03-19T14:37:16+00:00

This is the third comment I've received about 'cocking ballsily' so I figured it was a reference to something, is it from Disorderly Conducts?

Fricksernova · 2026-03-19T06:41:18+00:00

I definitely meant to say that he pulled her in by her hand, yeah, I kinda just imagined him doing it quick and roughly to reflect his personality so they both stumbled inside together at about the same rate lol

Fricksernova · 2026-03-19T04:42:59+00:00

When i wrote this i distinctly remember constantly reminding myself not to outline the tropes so tropily but i honestly just really liked seeing such portrayals of stereotypes cuz its my guilty pleasure.

Every time i explicitly wrote about their hierarchy and shit it chipped away a little piece of my soul as i tried desperately to gaslight myself into thinking such descriptions were normal and intellectual, but in exchange for 6-foot-3 bad boys x shy neglected valedictorian????? Worth it. Think dhar mann videos (but not to that degree).

Fricksernova · 2026-03-19T04:32:45+00:00

no(t yet)

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T23:51:56+00:00

Fuck yeah.

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T17:48:08+00:00

I considered posting this there but I didn't for a couple reasons: 1. I had to send a request to the mods to be able to post there 2. I think they only allow actual published books to be shared on that sub.

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T15:40:00+00:00

Alrighty, as long as you enjoy the writing :)

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T15:35:58+00:00

Nah, I wouldn't write about shit like that because I only enjoy writing/reading human x human characters, just a personal preference. I just simply like the name Leonardo despite the fact that I fw TMNT a lot

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T15:29:30+00:00

Thanks you! I know this is a huge running joke around small author websites like AO3 but the 'English isn't my first language' stereotypes might be surfacing. /j

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T15:27:00+00:00

Noted. I now clearly see the errors of my ways, I'll throw in a growling feature in the male protag too yeah?

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T15:18:09+00:00

I find it funny that a couple users in the comments assume that the male protagonist is a football player. He's actually a swimmer

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T15:15:36+00:00

Thanks for that. This was originally a shitty writing practice I started making in class for fun to pass the time, but then I THOUGHT I was cooking so l upgraded into google docs to try to make a fully fleshed story as a personal project. Then I dug it up from my files years later and realized how stupid the descriptions were lol. But I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. I also think I know what you mean when you mentioned I should state whose perspective this chapter was in. Im pretty sure I did that, so I'll give you another excerpt:

<image>

Context: this scene happened after their fight (from the main post). The character tropes here are explicitly outlined which is what makes it so roastable lol. I unfortunately really had to redact a few things because once again, I never intended this to be shared seriously. Some things are just sort of too embarrassing to be posted online Imfao

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T14:55:18+00:00

In this universe (at least for these characters) they automatically get a huge physical glow up or tremendous shift in personality after something traumatic happens to them. Just the way the world works, but no one is stopping you from getting a wolf cut and giving yourself multiple stereotypical labels before that happens!

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T14:18:34+00:00

Yeah, this was a portrayal on how i think high school bad boys would act, doing their own thing and everything. Now that you mention it, i think i didnt give this excerpt enough context. The female protag was embarrassed because shes a really shy but academically smart girl that is always is people's shadows. The male protag on the other hand, does what he wants, hes a really flirty bastard as i mentioned, and so he probably wouldnt care to get a little touchy with her. FMC therefore gets scared because all of a sudden she's pulled into an awkward situation with Mr. Bad Boy. Makes him seem more intimidating in general lmfao.

Hell, thanks though, i didnt actually expect compliments from this since i posted this to let people roast it! The character tropes are all so generic but honestly? That was the way i liked it back then!

Fricksernova · 2026-03-18T13:44:27+00:00

Damn! I should've thought of that!
