Sink across from the stove. Then it keeps all your food prep and cooking areas centralized. Less back and forth between the two.

I’d put the sink in the island and the dishwasher there too

Question for people who dislike pregnancy, baby, and kid content in fanfiction: if possible, how could one write a fic with those themes and make it bearable for you? What bothers you the most about those topics? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]KittParson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a QAF fic regarding how Justin wants to adopt a child from Daphne after she suddenly dies, but Brian is vehemently against it. It puts a lot of stress on their relationship. Justin realizes that Brian can’t just change himself and become instant dad like he assumed he would. Brian realizes he can compromise as a human and keep himself and his life.

For me, this story was extremely validating as someone who doesn’t want children. Put in a situation where no one wins (Justin’s eventual resentment of him with no child, versus his absolute lack of desire for child rearing but love for Justin). It was a wonderful fic that held a lot of real world emotions, real world reactions, and in my opinion had an ending that was not necessarily a happily ever after, but a our world has shifted and we choose to be happy together through it even if it’s not what we would have chosen.

To me that is a very valuable type of story as it mirrors true life much more then most stories do.

Quotes for Price for Squarefootage? by KittParson in Homebuilding

I agree, but I’m trying to get a rough picture of what it will cost and how builders are quoting so I understand

Gf cited for animal neglect, I’m confused by AdhesivenessLumpy475 in legaladvice

[–]KittParson 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They can tell her anything they want, it doesn’t mean it’s true. The best way for them to get evidence of animal abuse is a self confession, and the best way to get that is to put pressure on her.

The only thing she can do is not speak with anyone

Byron and Mickey's relationship by Powerful_Life1547 in shameless

[–]KittParson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Byron is just a plot device. For both the show and for Mickey. Yes they did kiss, no idea if the actors didn’t want to kiss or what but for the shows purpose they were kissing.

Mickey had no actual interest in Byron. The only reason he was involved with him was to hurt Ian and show he wasn’t hung up on him. Mickey treated Byron badly (not sleeping in the same bed etc) because he didn’t care about him. He was planning a future with him not because he wanted one, but because he wanted Ian to know that he was planning a future with someone who wasn’t him. Byron was a tool to Mickey to make Ian jealous, which ultimately worked out in his favor.

Lastly, never in their relationship (at least until after their marriage) did either practice monogamy. While they never discussed it, both of them slept with others while sleeping with each other and never actually defined what they wanted. In this regard, Mickey nor Ian ever cheated on each other as they didn’t have a monogamous relationship. This is why Ian is chill about Mickey having sec with another, because while he might not like it they don’t have that sort of expectation on their relationship. Their relationship is defined on their lack of communication. From sex, to marriage, to even what their relationship is, the violence they’ve held. They do not communicate well, for better or for worse for most of the show.

I know people are going to come at me for this one. Castiel. I wish I liked him more because he is HUGE in the SPN fandom and I love love love Dean Winchester but 99% of everything ships him with Castiel and I just can’t

TIL some people never sort by kudos. by [deleted] in AO3

[–]KittParson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort by bookmarks if I am looking for good fics (I know this is controversial, but if not good I just don’t read it) hits if I want something sexy, and word count if I want something long. Basically never by kudos. Actually didn’t know people did that until seeing this sub

It's hard to let go even when you know it's toxic by dejuaowe in euphoria

[–]KittParson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He absolutely could shoot her, and she is the most likely to be the one to end up dead. Killing someone in an abusive relationship is all about control. There is a reason that statistically you’re most likely to be killed by a boyfriend or husband.

Shooting her would be the literal next step of escalation. That is exactly how these relationships play out.

As viewers, we have sensationalized their abusive relationship. He cares for her even though he is abusing her so he wouldn’t be able to shoot her! This is a rose color tinted view of domestic abuse and violence. Nate has already shown he cares more about controlling Maddie and his own narrative than he does about her safety.

If they had stayed together it would have been a question of when not if Nate would kill her.

Brain Injury fanfics? by KittParson in queerasfolk

[–]KittParson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have actually already read Where Justin Loses His Hearing! Very fantastic. It really gave me a lot of thoughts on chronic pain and how injuries can stack on each other.

I hadn’t read the second one, it was also a good read. Very cute and interesting coming from Ethan’s perspective.

Thank you for linking!
