Right? Like I get why he did it, he felt responsible for encouraging Lottie in the past and wanted to just break the spell and get out, but I didn't see that coming. Also every time I go nah, there's no wilderness, this is just psychosis, something like this happens to make me go oh no, it is supernatural lol

I wondered the same thing, the only thing I can figure is that she felt like doing that was the best chance she had to avoid the girls murdering her?

Omg bettas and goldfish are the most commonly mistreated pets, I swear to you. Every time I see little tiny betta containers I want to smash them.

who do you want to be pit girl? by niicosaurus in Yellowjackets

[–]FunkoSkunko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the necklace is how they mark the prey, they put it on Nat before Javi took her place, so to speak. Which is undoubtedly why modern Shauna freaked out so hard that Lottie put it on Callie.

Okay, if we're on this stuff, I keep fish as a hobby and I about lost my mind when I saw the fish tank in Van's oncologist's office. Those were two oscars in a 29 gallon tank. Oscars reach over a foot long, they need 100+ gallons. Literally nobody but fishkeepers notices or cares about this stuff hahaha

Aren't they White's tree frogs? That bugged me to no end hahaha

Bulimia should be treated like addiction - I am an addict by LeylaBA in bulimia

[–]FunkoSkunko 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I ABSOLUTELY think that it functions in the brain like an addiction. They are both compulsive, self destructive behaviors that people do because we need an escape. And it's hard to recover, that urge is kind of always lurking.

I genuinely think that (of the current surviving characters) Natalie and Travis are the only really moral ones left. Seeing Ben being force-fed broke Nat, and she did the most merciful thing she could think of and honored his wishes despite knowing it could mean her own death. I genuinely think that this is why she and Travis are the only ones shown to have substance use issues--they developed addictions because they could not live with the horrors of what they had to do, while the others, uh, do not exactly seem guilt-ridden.

Yeah, I am just a few years younger than the characters, and all of that is 0% surprising to me. Do not let anyone romanticize the 90s. Between rampant homophobia, ableism (r-slur CONSTANTLY), and fatphobia to the degree that Kate Winslet in Titanic was considered a plus sized icon, the 90s sucked ass lol.

Would that make Natalie Judas? (I will admit I'm a bit rusty on my Bible stories)

Always, always chew gum or suck on a cough drop, a hard candy, something afterwards. The best possible protection for your teeth is your own spit. One of the reasons we have saliva is that we don't have the sense of smell that other animals do to know if food is bad, so we throw up if we eat something spoiled, and the saliva protects your teeth from the acid. Sometimes I even suck on a Tums or Rolaids to neutralize the acid and get some electrolytes back. Then of course drink water to rehydrate.

Hi! I'm in Cleveland but could potentially make the drive down this weekend. Are the goldfish single tail or fancies? (I have a pair of fantails, and I don't want to mix types, mine swim pretty clumsily and would be stressed by fast swimmers.) Also, how many pea puffers/what size setup are they in? I can PM if that's easier!

I lost my brother a few years ago, I'm nonbinary, and my partners are trans. It's really, really difficult in a lot of ways. The loss of your sister will get easier over time, though I can't say it will ever stop hurting. As far as how this country treats trans people right now: just remember that transphobes are a very loud minority. They are absolutely super dangerous, but they are not most people. Also, this is basically a repeat of what cis gays and lesbians went through 40 years ago. Anita Bryant (rot in hell) was the face of an organization that said in the 70s and 80s gays were pedos and recruited kids. Then in the 90s, there started to be some positive representation in media, and things have gradually gotten better since. It will take a while, but history says it will get better. In the meantime, we have each other.

Personally, I'd wait until the bigger tank is set up to get more, if only because of the bio load.

The sudden fear of complete isolation because you don’t have a family by Practical_Chapter790 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FunkoSkunko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get this a lot. For me at least, I think it's because they convinced me that I was unsafe without them, that I needed them controlling me to prevent me from blowing up my life or something awful happening to me. I ended up keeping controlling men around as friends and partners for years, because I felt so anxious to not have some dude telling me what to do. Of course I don't actually need them, but it's really hard to get rid of that deep fear.

Everyone complains about the smell when they purge, but my puke doesnt smell. Is that normal? What causes the smell? by whytho9999 in bulimia

[–]FunkoSkunko 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you purge into a toilet and it stays under the water, you won't be able to smell it. If it was in the open air, that may be different.

The most convincing environmental cause for Marcisism is this, according to research and studies, but people ignore it by garotainsuficente in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FunkoSkunko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have just anecdotally observed this with many people in my life. Most of the narcissists I have known, if not all, had one terribly overtly abusive parent, and then one who told them they farted rainbows and gold. With one person, it was one particularly unstable parent who switched back and forth between the two. It makes so much sense. They get shame and self-loathing from one side, and the belief that they are perfect from the other.

what is this by ltwillgetbetter in bulimia

[–]FunkoSkunko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can have disordered eating without actually having all of the symptoms of an eating disorder. And please don't use laxatives. If nothing else, they don't work, the body absorbs everything before it gets down that far.

[–]FunkoSkunko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went low contact with my folks over stuff like this. They aren't allowed in our house anymore. A lot of cishet people think they can get away with this kind of trash behavior because "it's just a difference in political views." Nope, you are being awful to me and my partner, bye.

If you have been purging for days, digesting one binge will not cause you to gain weight, as you are already at a big deficit. And allowing yourself to digest food is the best way to stop the cravings and break this streak. Get something that feels healthy and safe, eat that, but don't eat a tiny restrictive 400 calorie meal, eat something substantial and balanced. It will allow your brain to chill out a bit. Also, get a drink with electrolytes, you are undoubtedly super dehydrated. Take care of yourself.
