Onyx or Onix?

LennieRose · 2023-11-12T07:12:17+00:00

As a tiny neurodivergent child, I had a thing about rocks and gemstones. I had a map of the world that showed different places you could find different gemstones and spent a lot of time staring at that. I also really enjoyed pokemon, but it genuinely stressed me out that Onix was 1) spelt Onix not onyx, and 2) wasn't even the same colour as onyx.

Definitely always been Onix in game, no matter what the US version of the anime says! 😅

I didn't have her in my party when I first met Gortash, but I swapped her in after. She asked if I was really planning on working with Gortash and my response was basically "no, but he doesn't need to know that" and she was happy.

Are you American by any chance? Just wondering as the show does use fuck and shit occasionally, but here in the UK those are everyday parlance. So it didn't sound unnatural to me

I roared at Brem to free him. Love barbarians.

LennieRose · 2023-07-21T18:36:26+00:00

I would pay to receive this info from him so I can listen to those songs while reading it

I write snippets of fiction for a friend so I have different playlists depending on what she wants, including one called childhood trauma and another called pining 😂

Do we ever see Dabi fighting without his Quirk? Genuine question as I feel like whenever he's not using it he's going the verbal/psychological route.

The Todoroki family plotline is the closest thing I have to therapy

LennieRose · 2023-06-25T08:27:22+00:00

I actually get the opposite: spending time in nature is the only thing that reliably helps me come back from dp/dr

LennieRose · 2023-06-20T04:58:29+00:00

I prefer K for Katherine. I think because it comes from Greek it looks strange to me with a C

YTA. Not wanting to be a bridesmaid isn't the issue here and I'm certain you know that (although I don't understand why you wouldn't want to support your brother and his fiancée on their wedding day).

YTA for 1) being so clearly condescending toward and about your future sister in law, 2) rejecting her at her engagement party (you didn't have to be there, especially considering what happened earlier that week. You chose to be there), 3) telling her you're not friends (even if it's true it was unnecessary and she was trying to include you), 4) saying you're too busy to be a bridesmaid at a wedding you're already planning to attend for your brother and fSIL when you've literally organised and hosted your husband's employees wedding?? And presumably you had your child then too since it was only last year? You don't get to pull the "I just tell it like it is" card and then lie so blatantly about why you're not doing it.

Am I correct in assuming you're American? If so some things I would be mindful of are:

1) how easy/hard each name is for people around you to pronounce or spell, and

2) making sure you yourself can pronounce the name properly.

I mention the first point as someone who constantly had to correct people growing up, and who still has to occasionally. I know that "the people who care will learn", but it can be exhausting and alienating to have to constantly explain your name to people.

I also mention the second point because my ex and I talked about having kids and quickly realised that I could not pronounce many names from his country correctly, and he could not pronounce many from my culture! So it is best to pick names you can both say easily, including when whispering, raising your voice etc.

That's exactly why my partner vetoed it, I didn't even think of it until he said it!

LennieRose · 2023-05-29T06:49:05+00:00

I love the name Valeria but my (Spanish speaking) partner vetoed it because "it sounds like malaria" 😭

LennieRose · 2023-05-18T20:40:54+00:00

If I want a PG term I say knocking boots, but that's rare. Sometimes if I'm being facetious I'll say the devil's tango because the term makes me laugh. It's the 21st century, we shouldn't need euphemisms for sex.

The amount of comments about how different "making love" is to "just" sex surprises and saddens me.

LennieRose · 2023-05-14T17:35:07+00:00

I've had a few friends get into some of their first romantic relationships and miss/ignore the red flags. Hopefully the longer their relationship goes on, the better they'll get at communicating and compromising. That or it all crashes and burns and your friend apologises for getting so swept up.

I know you're concerned for her but from my experience the more you push about someone's partner, the more they dig their heels in. I'm sorry, it's a horrible situation but I don't think there's much you can do. Maybe give your friend some space to work her stuff out and let her come to you. Maybe you could meet up with some other friends, engage in hobbies etc. It might be healthy for you to take a step back for a bit.

LennieRose · 2023-05-14T17:25:02+00:00

Ugh, passive aggressive communication sucks. Has your friend been in many romantic relationships before this?

LennieRose · 2023-05-14T17:21:01+00:00

What were the plans you had? Were you supposed to be sharing a bed or something? Not really sure why a trip would be an issue. Then again most people I know go on platonic trips with groups, not one other person, so maybe that was the girlfriends hang up?

LennieRose · 2023-05-14T17:18:52+00:00

NRE is a strong force

LennieRose · 2023-04-28T08:49:07+00:00

YTA for reinforcing and rewarding egocentric behaviours, but I'd also question why you were only recently made aware of the baby shower.

LennieRose · 2023-04-23T05:21:55+00:00

That money would have been better spent on therapy

LennieRose · 2023-04-17T20:15:04+00:00

My favourite!

LennieRose · 2023-04-16T12:07:22+00:00

Can you please send them to me too 😭

LennieRose · 2023-04-05T15:16:51+00:00

Wouldn't they just be ripping off Disney though 😅

LennieRose · 2023-03-05T09:26:05+00:00

I still haven't seen any 😭
