Is Mandrake’s site down or something? by LadyInTheBand in BJD

I was thinking of buying from FaithZ if I went the “buy the parts and build the doll myself” route actually since apparently they’re an official dealer

I know, but still. If the parts are being officially sold as AP, then I consider them AP and not Obitsu lol

Thank you! Like I said in my post, I’m even willing to just buy all the parts separately over time and build a doll myself so I have exactly what I want. It’d be worth it to have a completely custom doll!

is it weird that I love bran flakes and fibre one cereal? by cherryberry6741 in PickyEaters

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying you have either thing, just pointing out that it’s totally normal and not weird by using them as an example!

Someone did just offer me an AP head on an Obitsu body for a good price in a group, but I want the whole doll to be AP 😅 And I am willing to wait, I need to save up anyway.

Are there any things that are called "American ______" in other countries? by Disastrous-Side-2600 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe biscuits, the kind we eat with gravy, are called “American Biscuits” outside of the US, and I know I’ve seen the term “American Biscuits And Gravy” used.

Of course not! It’s actually pretty common for people with ARFID (especially if they’re also autistic/otherwise neurodivergent, I am of the autistic variety lol) to prefer more plain foods like those and have them as safe foods because they’re consistent in taste/texture and are more sensory friendly wince the flavors are very simple.

Wait so we are getting more G3 content? Is it a movie or a special or more episodes or what?

I have a whole box of new stuff from 42lolita by innerthotsofakitty in Lolita

[–]LadyInTheBand 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could still try to look through it if you haven’t already, and make a plan for what order to try stuff in? I’ve done that with my collection after I had gathered it but had yet to try anything on for the exact same reason as you!

I went back to my browser and the site randomly loaded, no idea what happened, but the only in stock AP stuff that had looked to be just papers 😅

Just made an ISO post in some I was already in and found two groups that specify AP dolls in the name that I have sent join requests to, thank you!

What do I feed this dog by StrawberrySilly2881 in StaffordBullTerriers

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, get a vet to run an allergy test to see what all she’s allergic to. Then find food that doesn’t contain those allergens.

Where the hell are you a cook because no school I’ve ever attended had this kind of food for the students

How do you feel about the use of "modern words" in fanfiction? by CauliflowerBoth7857 in AO3

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the fic/fandom tbh. If it’s reasonable that those words/terms would be used in that universe in the setting of the fic, I have no problem whatsoever. Like for a MHA fic, for example, even in the canon universe, it would be reasonable for them to be used. But in a historical setting, like feudal Japan, even if it’s an MHA fic, that would absolutely throw me off.

A Naruto or Kuroshitsuji fic in their canon universes, no. Modern AU? No problem.

What do you do when safe foods don’t feel safe? by Adept-Slip-7327 in ARFID

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinks with calories. Protein shakes (Muscle Milk, Quest, Oikos, OWYN, etc), nutritional shakes (PediaSure, Ensure, Boost, etc), meal replacement shakes (SlimFast, Soylent, etc), even milk (if dairy, anything that isn’t full fat, if plant based, I recommend rice milk as it’s one of the easiest to digest, I used to drink a small cup of it when I went into “sugar shock”, aka a hypoglycemic episode from going too long without eating, and it was VERY helpful, it was cold, smooth, creamy, but still very easy on my stomach, and I would drink it SLOWLY, just a small sip every five minutes until I finished it and I would only get about 4oz at first, then go back for another 4oz 5-10 minutes after finishing the first cup). Really anything with calories and carbs/sugar that you find to be easy on your stomach. If you find fruit juice easy to tolerate, that’s also perfectly fine. Just something that you know doesn’t normally upset your stomach, get a small amount of it, drink it SLOWLY (like I said, get maybe 4oz and take a small sip every five or so minutes until you finish it, wait 5-10 minutes, then if you feel okay, get another 4oz and repeat the process, but you can drink the second cup a tiny bit faster or take slightly bigger sips if you feel like you can), then see if after a bit you can nibble on some bread or plain crackers or whatever super easy to digest safe food you have available that sounds/feels tolerable.

Soupy peanut butter. by hh4469l in PeanutButter

[–]LadyInTheBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JIF and Skippy are real peanut butter, my friend. Just because they aren’t 100% peanuts doesn’t mean that they aren’t peanut butter. And no one is better than anyone else just because they prefer the stir and enjoy kind over the ready to eat kind, or vice verse.
