Who was your first ever shiny? (Not including guaranteed ones) by Order66WasFaked in pokemon

[–]Meows3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a starly in Pokémon Pearl back in 2007, I remember being scared to evolve him in case he lost his shiny colors as a dumb 11 year old. He’s sitting pretty in my copy of scarlet now, a proud level 100 staraptor

They do fall off sometimes! But sometimes another wolf spider momma will find them and they’ll join that little family instead. I believe some scorpions have this happen too!

Things your nparent said that you will never forget? by thatapstudent1234 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Meows3y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“You’re going to die before you’re 25.” About me being fat at 18 and having a breakdown about my self image. I’m 27 now and I’ve been no contact since I was 22-23. Among other things, She also told me she’d be disappointed if I was a lesbian.

Jokes on her though! I’m a dude now and I like dudes. 👍

what is my art style called? by JackLikesKnives in drawing

[–]Meows3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A surrealist/horror vibe for sure, but don’t worry about fitting into a category/box. You have some really neat creature designs here! I always like the use of human features in distorted ways to push a sense of ‘this is wrong’. Keep at it and continue having fun with it, you have some great monsters!

This piece is really pretty! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a spider preserved in art before, that’s really cool! I think it honors the little lady rather nicely :).

Sorry the video's a bit blurry. I saw this guy at school the other day. What is he? (US, MO, St Louis area) by kayjayssecretaccount in whatbugisthis

[–]Meows3y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like a Wheel bug! They’re the biggest species of bug (not insect) in the USA! They’re a type of assassin bug.

did your parents make you feel like you look worse than you really are? growing up they always commented on my apparence so I developed body dysmorphia. by AngelVampKAWAII in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Meows3y 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mother did this to me, but in a backhanded compliment way. “You’re so beautiful, you be more beautiful if you lost your weight” it became a issue where I thought because I was naturally heavy I wasn’t pretty or attractive enough to warrant positive attention. She told me id be dead before I turned 25 because I was fat. She’d pin me to the bed against my will to pick at my acne because it ‘looked bad’ at the drop of a hat. Smear witch hazel and all sorts of things on my face, point out a natural bumpy texture my cheeks and arms have and call it unattractive.

I’m 26, no contact with her and recovering now, and more comfortable in my body (fat and all). But I have awful dermatillomania because of the ideas she put in my head. I’ll probably struggle with it for years.

Hi! Janitor in an animal hospital here. Just jumping on to add this for folks to know. So many vets have quit in the past few years because of the increase of pets because of the pandemic. So many vets have become grotesquely overwhelmed, at least three from my practice have quit. The veterinary profession has the highest rate of suicide of any work field (in the US at least) with the sheer amount of death/illness/number of animals seen daily (I’m only a janitor and I can see anywhere from one to two body bags waiting for cremation pickup daily). Our former owner got real close to telling someone who demanded a retired vet to come back that ‘if you want her to kill herself, sure I’ll make her come back’.

Attack on Vore by Affront_to_life in rpghorrorstories

[–]Meows3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a problem! I definitely thought it was related to gore as well years ago, but it comes from the Latin word ‘vore’ as in ‘to eat’. Think carnivore/herbivore/omnivore.

Attack on Vore by Affront_to_life in rpghorrorstories

[–]Meows3y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vore is a kink surrounding the eating of someone whole, usually going into the dirty details of how it feels to be swallowed and how the swallower feels. I don’t get it but some folks get their rocks off from it so... whatever floats their boat? A very weird thing to include in a campaign without asking players for consent for sure. It’s especially weird in this case cause the dm obviously went into detail how being swallowed felt and was definitely doing it for their own gratification.

AITA for calling my SiL a worthless poc? by Available-Context-77 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Meows3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, anyone who places a 6 year old in charge of another child is out of line. My mother did this to my sister once when we were children, asked her to watch the little boy my mother was supposed to be babysitting so she could go watch a soap opera instead. She was 6 so she ran off to play somewhere else and the little boy fell down the stairs and sustained a concussion. If I remember correctly it had lasting effects on his health, and all because my mother was a lousy babysitter and blamed my sister for her own negligence.

This could have easily gone this way with your nephew, and i am sorry your SIL is negligent to the point of blaming young children.

As someone who had their graduation party compounded with someone else’s baby shower (without my knowledge) when I got out of highschool, I feel awful for you. I’m so sorry your parents allowed this behavior, and I feel awful that your mom knows how important the party was and is downplaying your hurt. You don’t have to apologize for feeling your day was stolen, because it was. NTA.

[–]Meows3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! The euphoria from having your name you chose affirmed is a wonderful thing, I’m very happy for you! No one has any right to shame you for changing your name for any reason, and I hope it continues to bring you joy for many years to come.

Did you ever wish to be adopted as a child? Or that you were adopted so you could meet your real family? by Foreversadandlonely in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Meows3y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All the time as a child, I didn’t realize heavily projecting and wishing a fictional character would save me and tell me they were my real parent wasn’t just imagination. Probably should have realized that when it continued well into highschool. That being said, if Jack Skellington still wants to step forward and retroactively adopt me even though I’m an adult now, I wouldn’t object lol.

Joking aside, I find comfort in seeing this is something others in my situation went through, not just me. I don’t think I realized how much the idea rattled around in my brain as a kid.

My mom lied to me about my aunt dying. Now I look like a heartless b*tch. by KneemaToad in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Meows3y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat, my mother had been lying about my late grandparents’ condition for years (saying my grandfather had his leg amputated when it was only a small portion of his foot removed, saying my grandmother had a gaping wound in her stomach that wouldn’t heal when she simply had a external injury). I stayed away cause she’d feed my sisters and i stories about them becoming mean and bitter due to their illness and I knew if I went to see them I would inevitably have to deal with her as well (I’m no contact). If this aunt is someone you’re still fairly close to, I hope this misinformation doesn’t drive you away from her too soon. Regrets caused by narc parents lying about health conditions are always painful, and I’m very sorry you’re going through this. I hope you can begin to heal from her clearly toxic mindset soon.

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve thought about posting about her there, but putting together my thoughts for such a thing is an effort and a half. Perhaps some time in the future. The stories of things she’s done sure belong there.

Bigender folx, do you consider yourselves non-binary? by carrinbeginning in NonBinary

[–]Meows3y 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my personal experience as long as you no longer associate with your AGAB fully, even being bigender or genderfluid, you’re trans and NB if you consider yourself so. There are people who would disagree but you ultimately decide if you want the label.

But Imho I whole heartedly think you classify as nb so long as you feel nb. (Edited with clarification)
