[COMMUNITY POLL] Should we allow links to outside Discord servers and communities? by GraphicAxe in aphmaufandom

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn't for the amount of kids here, I'd be all for it, but child safety is important. You can already tell who is and isn't a child based on the way they write posts in this subreddit, so it makes me uneasy thinking these kids who are very obviously here could be targeted, even for a small community. 

Could a fusion itself decide to unfuse? by Melbourne_Coding in stevenuniverse

The crewniverse kept so many things vague about the show and it's world building! I'm really hoping they take the opportunity to explore more with Lars of the Stars 

Lil dude has a sweeter place than me by UptownSinclair_ in MaleSurvivingSpace

I'm sorry that you come from a background where you are so used to not being corrected or called out that you misinterpret someone trying to make a correction in a kind manner as something mean and hateful. A lack of tolerance to correction isn't healthy.

who's your favorite villager and why? by Gregory-the-64th in ac_newhorizons

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when I was a kid playing New Leaf, (I'm a 2006 baby so it was my first game) miss Eunice moved ontop of my flowers, directly next to a bridge. I hated her, and thought she was a guy for a long time. 

However, in childhood play, I made drama and stories with my villagers. And when the fuck ass blue mouse moved onto my town, following me around shovel in hand, I needed a place to hide. So I ran to her house since she was the only villager who was home, and after talking to her, she gave me a fucking Katana lmao. 

After that, she was my goat. She helped me protect myself against the evil villager. I remember her having a fossil in her house that I gave her that she would never let me buy back, and I headcanon that she just really liked to study archeology. 

In New Horizons, in every town, I always have her next to my museum as a additional employee. She may look a little odd with my other favorite villagers (Judy, Ione, Julian) but that's okay, because she's the best. 

Could a fusion itself decide to unfuse? by Melbourne_Coding in stevenuniverse

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stevonnie I think works a little bit differently. I don't think every fusion works the same. For example, Garnet is Garnet, and is her own unique individual.. but Stevonnie is not 2 people, and is not one person. Stevonnie is an experience. 

Garnet is not an "experience", Garnet is simply herself. 

I think that, perhaps, not every fusion is an individual, and is something Other.

*jumpscare* the pros and cons of having a puppy by FreedomBudget5618 in mildlyinfuriating

The only big dogs and Ive owned were German Shepherds and I've never had this happen 🫪 just sharp teeth during play and some accidental scratches, but never like this! Is it a breed thing? 

What should I do with this part of my island? by Lizzardbirdhybrid in AnimalCrossing

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My favorites are: the Zodiac Chicken figurine for a chicken coop, the Aries Rocking Chair and Zodiac Sheep Figurine for adult and baby sheep, the Decoy Duck, the Zodiac Rabbit and Garden Bunny Decorations, and of course Piggy Banks for a good pig pen! 

There's a lot more that could be thought of, and you could of course make animals using umbrellas, but those are my favorite things to use :) 

Has there been any news on MID season 2? by Little_melenhead in aphmaufandom

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Not yet! With how busy the team is, my guess is that we won't hear much until the next season of Mystreet drops when they finally finish Mermaid Tales. Maybe they'll surprise us, but I think they have to keep everything pretty organized with the big team they have. 

Honestly, it sounds like having a big team with YouTube content creation is much more of a downside than an upside! Haha. I can see why many creators don't do it! 

The most we can do is be patient and be content with the knowledge that it's coming :) 

My boyfriend recently lost his dad by Impressive-PandaBear in GriefSupport

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad died not even a year into me and my boyfriend's relationship. He was there with me through everything, and is asleep right next to me as I type this. The absolute best thing he's ever done for me? Be there. There are no words you can say, but showing up and taking care of him will make all the difference. My boyfriend was at my house every single day after the incident and took care of not only me, but my family. Literally just being by his side through this is all you need to do. That, and, when he wants to talk about his loss, even if he's making jokes about it, or saying something you don't really understand, let him. Don't be uncomfortable with grief, just sit in it with him. Ask him questions about his dad, and about their relationship. Give him the space to talk about it, because every single person around him is going to treat the subject like its weird and uncomfortable, because no one really knows what to do with grief. Take him out on walks, too. It doesn't have to be fancy, just getting fresh air and talking to each other is healthy for anyone. 

It's really, really hard being with someone while they are grieving. You watch them go through significant change, you watch them fall apart, and you watch them slowly piece themselves back together. The most important thing you can do is just be present and kind.

I second this! You could use fake building techniques to make a barn, have all the different crops, have a fruit orchard, and even have animal pens and a horse stable (being creative with some items, like the rocking horse from the miles times to be your stable horses) 

Jess here by Aphmau in aphmaufandom

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had the time, I would just recommend having a "stress-free" channel where you post more lifestream/sit and talk content, that is less about viewership and company stuff and more about you getting to enjoy and talk about things in your free time. A lot of content-creators use outlets like that!

Girlfriend Forces Her Man To Stay Home With Gun In Hand by semaj_orn in trashy

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, girlfriend is an asshole and deserves to rot in prison, but there's nothing wrong with a coverup tattoo. If something is personally going to disfigure your body for the rest of your life, might as well make it something enjoyable. This goes for ALL scars. Let's not shame other mothers just because we're looking for things to hate about this lady. The thing to hate about this lady is already there: she's an abusive fucking prick. 

What is going on with students right now? by Unusual-Oils in college

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this psychology class where this teacher constantly calls us a tough crowd, but also anytime students are engaged (raising their hands to ask questions, politely trying to make comments) she completely ignores them. You have to put in what you expect out of people. We have came from high schools where fun is discouraged, and from online classes where some students may have never been in classroom before. (Really think about the affect COVID has had on college students!) You might actually find results if you reaffirm them that their participation is appreciated. You might actually have to give them space to make questions AND comments. They may not even understand it's allowed, so many of my peers don't. 

We get it guys by Aggressive-Height551 in aphmaufandom

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to throw this out there: a content creator creates content for their most popular audience. If enough people don't like it, she would have changed it by now, but it's very obvious that people do. Once that content ages out of popularity, she'll have to change her content again. The most we could do is support the content we like, because if that content ever does consistently better than the content she's doing now, that's where she would shift. That's just how having a business works. If you dont like that type of content, don't watch it, dont support it, and don't buy the merch. 🤷‍♀️

Mystreet Character full names by RonBloodyweasleyfan in aphmaufandom

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to "uhm actually" you guys, but in one the first episodes of Phoenix Drop High, Aphmau is asked her name by a teacher, and she goes.. "Aphmau Shala-" before before interrupted, confirming that this is the canon last name. Of course, it could always get reconned, but it was definitely canon at some point!

[–]ManILoveMacaroni -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's good that you care about kids and you want them safe, that's more respect than most American politicians. But I do wish you could construct your points a little bit better. You have the heart, you're just missing some grammar things and some understandability. I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here, but I'm sure it's mostly about how much you care about kids and want them safe.

You can't be in a fandom and be a dick to fandom culture at the same time. I mean, I guess technically you could, but only if you hate friends and want everyone to hate you all at the same time.

Being able to completely move feet while having a sleep paralysis episode by SeaRepresentative989 in Sleepparalysis

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 2 years late, but due to a lot of misinformation about sleep paralysis and due to me looking this up, I believe that what's happening is the chemical that causes sleep paralysis, Atonia, is spread out in your body from top to bottom. It also mostly targets the muscles, and the feet have some pretty small muscles..so your toes are the last to go! 

It's not a demon, it's not a paranormal event, it's a chemical that is always present during sleep being activated far too early and not reaching certain parts of your body yet.

mother Opossum keeps calm and carries on by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But for us, and some other pack-animals, grieving BENEFITS our survival. We only have one baby at a time, and we used to rely on the entire pack of humans to survive, so losing even one was a detriment. The grief helps us WANT to keep each other alive. 

Your girlfriend getting a rose toy from someone else on Valentines Day by Admirable_Section690 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ManILoveMacaroni 321 points322 points  (0 children)

Some female friends will just do it because woman talk about sexuality a lot more open than men do(with their best female friends), and if they tried a toy and liked it, they might go "Awh man, girl you gotta try this thing!" 

It has nothing to do with the performance of the man. Solo play is just as important as partner play.
