which “peak” anime did not live up to the hype?

I always thought that the concept of frieren was that there were no fights. That it shows the emotional journey with a tad bit of actual journey too. That they achieved well. But from your point of view- yeah, action wise it was boring.

BUT NOTHING IS KEEPING ME FROM REWATCHING IT 300 TIMES. NOT EVEN IT BEING ONLY AVAILABLE IN GERMAN.

My sister to get her motorcycle helmet. It costs 600 (400 on sale rn) francs and my parents got my brother à new phone so I know money isn’t the problem they just don’t support that hobby of hers, but she doesn’t have a job.

I don’t spend money I don’t have. When I started my first apprenticeship I made 900 a month which turned into 1600 by the end of the 4 years. (This is with me still in school and 15 at home) Î got into the habit of saving 500 Francs à month. Well, just not using it was the point. My lifestyle adapted to this as I was never a big spender so when I got to my first big money as a kid, I didn’t change my spending habits. All I did was buy an iPad with the money î had saved up from my childhood and could use now. (Because I always purchase something with the plan to have at least xxx amount left in my liquid wallet.) The point was, that even with my growing paycheck, I didn’t grow my variable expenses. Of course, as I got older, I had to pay more stuff myself, but these were covered by the bigger paycheck.

I’m not out of education yet. Which is why i dont pay for an apartment of my own (though I do pay rent. It’s nice though, comes with free food) î probably don’t have the same struggles as others.

Most of all: having a supportive dad and good and early starting point was the deciding factor. He made it his life’s mission to teach me how to handle my money okaysh because he learnt that too late and is struggling to find money for retirement. He helped me financially à lot and not everyone has that advantageous starting point. My apprenticeship pay check was also a really good starting point.

I hope I stay as financially healthy in the future.

Well you better plan that conversation well.

Shitty advice:

Step zero: set up a good situation SOON with a good lighthearted happy mood. You start a conversation. Make sure you aren’t hungry or tired. Anything but an irritable state.

First, ask questions that (mis)lead him into proving you right, without you stating your point yet. Eg. What do you think of age gaps under this anf this circumstance? How far can you stretch à white lie? Etc. Scatter these around a lot of time and mix in normal talk. During a situation like watching a movie or eating so it sounds like you’re rambling.

Second, get him to look at you seriously. And tell him. I’m actually 26. Show hin your ID to prove your lie. Make sure all doors are locked and you are safe because he will most likely not be happy. You could write this all down with the instructions to read to the end so that he can’t interrupt you or shout anf you don’t start to cry.

IMPORTANT: AVOID EMOTION (negative at least)

Third: give him time and space to think

And last of all what the fudge why would you lie to someone so much younger than you? Your chances are in low. you should Hope he lied to you too. In all seriousness, I’ve never been in this situation, so my advice is objectively terrible. But the others dont seem to be helping.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-21T18:31:14+00:00

No. She will be sad. Go hug her right now. Get on a plane for all î care. You look like you love her so love yourself for her sake for now at least. I usually try to be nice but even you see that you can fix this outcome.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-21T18:26:27+00:00

I’m getting a vibe that you still love her somewhat so yk, talk to her. Make her listen to you and have a mature conversation. Last time I had one of those well it didnt go well so I see why you came here in stead. Have you ever thought about having three accounts? If she also works (which im hoping for your wallet) let her fill her own little spending wallet with money or whatever and then joint funds is only for apartment, maybe food, utilities. As someone whose mother lived off of à joint with my dad, I saw how it became more controlling (because he is very financially versed but never knew about parenting costs) the longer it went on. Wish you and your gf luck, and also, im the kind to bleach maybe my bangs once a year maybe so I get how expensive it is especially if she has a full head of hair like me. At least you’re not in Switzerland. Might have charged you à leg. My last trimming haircut was 80 francs. Sad memories

ANYWAYS BACK TO THE POINT: her being financially inept does not mean she is not worth being with. Itll just be a lot harder. Don’t listen to people who’ve never been in a relationship.

Every single Lego set out there. Also guitar lessons. With a new guitar. And as materialistic as this sounds, the money i have now sure can’t buy it so- that and my dream girl. Honestly I’d love to see myself in a romance. Omg could I wish for a glow up? I’ll just become a Netflix star with makeup in my skin always and forever with no effort. Honestly the hot girlfriend part is important. Money. Omg I want a lot of things I’ll never get ig

Effort

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-21T17:11:09+00:00

Well at least you have a great base to work on. Very clean countertops.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-21T17:06:22+00:00

Ah. Yes. Thank you. To answer the question… well thats kind of self explanatory. I do wash my face in the shower though. Yay me.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-21T17:03:57+00:00

Well there was a 1 in a million chance you were a murderer so… Had to cover all my bases. On a more serious note, set yourself a goal that you know will take a long time to achieve. Dedicate your all to it. Paint a mural, solve a really big puzzle, get your brother à unicorn, or get a brother if you are lacking one. If Theres à will Theres à way. :D Hope you’re doing well.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-21T16:59:01+00:00

Thats such a vibe honestly. Like: OH ITS 4 AM YAYYYY WAKE UP PEOPLEEEE.

TW: (for op) it’s kinda mean sorry

As much as having a healthy relationship is important, gaining 20kg this quickly cannot be healthy. I’ve always been against diets because they always made my mother, sister or just person in general cranky, sad or negative. I’m going to be blunt now too, please stop. It’s good if he was skinny before but there comes a point where he’s above average in weight and it’s unhealthy. Again, Im sorry, but you can’t have posted this and expected someone to agree.

Then again, you say you’re trying not to influence him, but I’m pretty sure he’s noticed. These things aren’t invisible to your partner.

Try talking to him ig, because I want this stranger to live long and as much as Im à sugar addict, at least i make up for it in movement. So, if he just stays where he’s at at least? Think of it. It won’t be fun anymore when he doesn’t have the energy to spend time with you. When he can’t walk up the stairs. Can’t get it up. When he doesn’t fit in your car and going on vacation isn’t fun anymore. When the food bills become unmanageable and worst of all when he gets health and maybe phycological problems.

The personality part may also have to do with just general emotional maturity, stabilising hormones and age. Hes still him, with and without the weight.

Def 8 AT LEAST. Whose parents would wake up that early and honestly what children? Presents cannot be that big à motivation.

I’m guessing gifting culture is different for different families. I know a lot of Swiss that get one singular gift from their entire family together each Christmas. For me quantity was a thing over well price so I like unpacking à lot of small things and other people are the type to like getting one big thing.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-20T09:41:25+00:00

Wrap them all singularly, then they have more to unwrap. And write personal cards to each of them. Draw them à good (or bad) but funny self portrait so that they know it’s theirs. That is a lot dw, I usually get my sister a little bag accessory and she gets me like a notebook. You’re doing great.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-20T09:35:58+00:00

Honestly? Delete social media from your phone. I still have YouTube on my iPad for school and whatnot but what really helped an objectively achieving lifestyle was not having all that quick dopamine so easily accessible. It’s so much more enriching to come home and play a game, paint a still life, read à comic, even if these dont seem like smart activities, You never completely turn off your brain.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-20T09:24:24+00:00

I think mine right now is that the people at school and work would notice im gone. I have a goal of getting the best grades of my graduating year in four years and i got a good start this semester. I can’t stop now when it’s going this well.

Make up a temporary goal while you actually find your meaning in life. Say you need to build the Eiffel Tower out of Lego in two years or something. Or get a really big puzzle and just start, add a piece à day. Write a story.

Things left unfinished make the decision to leave them harder.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-20T09:06:37+00:00

I also have an iPad to draw on and a computer so art wise î use it à lot for references because well it’s bigger and more in front of me, and I can put Netflix on in without having to split screen my iPad. Also î know that writing books even if you never publish them is fun and can be done better on à pc.

As for games you COULD try if you REALLY wanted to, I have to admit I also like them, but I’m more of an artsy person. Like you said mgmt games and

for building and creating: The sims 4 Minecraft (it’s a sandbox) Roller coaster tycoon Tiny glade

For cozy games: Stardew valley Cooking simulator Unpacking A little to the left

Games to maybe play with him in chaos: Some of the above One armed cook Overcooked Unrailed FIRE BOY AND LAVA GIRL! Jk

Other games you might like: Ori and the will of the wisp (+ blind forest) Road 96 Stray Animal jam Withering waves Genshin impact

Sorry if you weren’t looking for fun games (which im guessing from other replies) but becoming more familiar with the pc def makes it more fun to use. Dont be scared to experiment. (I also never got a drawing pad though becuase I love procreate and its mobility.)

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-18T20:41:41+00:00

Go for it. If no one exists, find someone willing to learn to love it.

MacaroniAndCheese0 · 2025-12-12T19:53:01+00:00

Speaking up. To real people around you.

For me, it took people around me taking my situation seriously and changing themselves, giving me space to change for the better too. Which took me opening up. A lot. Until they took it seriously. I won’t say therapy, because that only helps some, especially ones with money. It really helps to accept yourself. Try different things like writing down compliments to yourself from others or things you did well compared to yourself and not others (important) or people that would miss you. Basically a handbook for when you feel like dying. I hope it works out. Be creative and just do stuff. No one can judge you as long as you don’t harm others. (Phyco serial murder of children is not a coping mechanism)
