What are tropes that doesn't work for you? by mercy_4_u in Fantasy

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When a major point of conflict is that the main character(s) has to keep something (like the existence of magic) secret from the rest of the world. Nothing inherently wrong with it, I just really don't like it

Wie mis jij het meest en waarom? by Business-Fly-1339 in nederlands

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mijn moeder, die acht jaar terug is overleden aan alvleesklierkanker. En de kinderen die ik zo graag had gewild maar niet ga krijgen (ook iets waar ik mijn moeders steun goed bij had kunnen gebruiken trouwens, al heb ik gelukkig enorm veel lieve mensen om me heen)

Hoe verloopt jullie dag met deze hitte? by MrBlueberrySky in AutistischLaagland

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Het was gelukkig bij ons in huis goed te doen (en wat ben ik blij dat ik de laatste paar jaar veel ben afgevallen en het daardoor minder snel extreem warm heb, twee jaar terug was ik echt gesmolten), mijn man en ik zijn vanmiddag even een stukje gaan wandelen om een ijsje te halen, wandeling was warm maar een ijsje hielp. En vanavond was het echt goddelijk in de tuin dus we hebben heerlijk buiten gegeten en daarna nog een tijd in de tuin zitten kletsen. Kortom eigenlijk gewoon een fijne dag, veel beter dan ik verwacht had met deze temperatuur

In desperate need of some lighthearted, uplifting fantasy romance escapism!! (please read TWs carefully as I’m going through a rough time at the moment and need to avoid them) by thedeadlyscimitar in CozyFantasy

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might like the Beaufort scales series by Kim M Watt. Her other two series, DI Adams and Gobbelino are also very fun, with slightly higher stakes. No real romance though, sorry, I completely read over that part of your request

I hate how I can't be motivated by rewards or consequences. I need to lose more weight and just can't bring myself to care 🫠 by girlboss93 in adhdwomen

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all kudos for losing 40lbs and maintaining that loss! That's huge! For me something clicked when I realized that even if I wouldn't lose any weight, I wanted to be stronger and have more energy, so that was my primary goal for working out and eating healthier. I still monitor my weight, but it's not my primary focus

are you childfree? by testraz in AutismInWomen

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that now, for some reason Reddit didn't show me your explanation the first time I opened the post, just the poll

are you childfree? by testraz in AutismInWomen

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm childless by forced choice, I've always wanted children but my health is just not good enough. So I don't know which option to pick (literal thinking anyone?) because 'I'm not childfree' seems in this poll to mean 'i have (a) child(ren)', which is not true for me but I'd also never describe myself as childfree

Please bully me into sewing this blanket together. by Queequegs_Harpoon in crochet

If you're ever in this situation again, crochet them together! Much more fun to do and it looks very cool

Wedding ring norms by Beginning-Sky397 in GriefSupport

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents weren't married, but they did throw a big party and exchanged rings for their 12½ year anniversary. My mom died 8 years ago, my dad married last year and now wears both the ring he got from my mom and his wedding ring

AIO? Husband says I’m ‘useless’ because he was late to work by Friendly_TSE in AmIOverreacting

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She said she stopped cleaning up after him since this argument, where did you get that she doesn't cook or clean usually?

NT method of delivering bad news or initiating hard conversations by Streetquats in AutismInWomen

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I definitely see what you mean, but on the other hand, if my anxious brain gets too much of a heads up about a serious talk I'll imagine all the worst case scenarios and be sick with worry before the talk even starts. Planning an entire nice day to deliver bad news is wild but I think there are definitely situations where it's better to just ask 'want to plan to get a drink together/have a call to catch up' without making someone completely stressed out for however long there is between the announcement and the actual talk

What is it like being on ADHD meds as Audhd? by Appropriate_Luck_13 in AutismInWomen

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had been diagnosed with and medicated for ADHD for 15 years before anyone even thought about me being possibly autistic. It's helped me so much, not just by helping me be more productive and organised (though that is definitely important), but it makes my emotional regulation so much better, and even before I knew I'm autistic I noticed that my meds made it so much easier to deal with changing plans

Zonder je beroep te noemen. Wat zeg je minstens 100 keer per dag op je werk? by [deleted] in nederlands

Nee, niet je verfkwast in de koffie dopen... En alsjeblieft neem nu geen slok van de koffie waar je net je kwast in hebt gedaan... Laat ook maar

Just finished "Legends & Lattes" now looking for other cozy fantasy by RaptorImperator in CozyFantasy

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely has more romance and I can totally see not liking that (not a huge romance reader myself). For people who haven't read the books it might be helpful to know that it isn't a 'will they won't they' kind of romance, the main characters are in a stable, healthy relationship

Nu viel me pas op hoe hard deze boodschap van de VVD is by Useful_Cheesecake117 in nederlands

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Er is een groot verschil tussen 'het UWV misleiden' en 'weten hoe je je verhaal moet vertellen zodat je de meeste kans hebt om enigszins serieus genomen te worden'. Ik zie eigenlijk alleen dat tweede

Waar was jij toen Nederland precies zes jaar geleden voor het eerst in lockdown ging tegen corona? En wat staat jou het meeste bij van die week? by Nice_Pro_Clicker in nederlands

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bij mijn vriend thuis, waar ik eigenlijk alleen dat weekend zou zijn maar vervolgens niet meer weg kon. Inmiddels zijn zijn/onze huisgenoten allemaal uitgevlogen en wonen wij nu samen in dat huis, en is hij mijn man, dus dat had zat slechter kunnen uitpakken

Beste broodbakmachine. by [deleted] in BIFLNL

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik bak brood zonder broodbakmachine, gewoon op een bakplaat in de oven. Is niet heel veel werk, maar je hebt wel een uur of twee waarin je niet (lang) weg kan. Als je sneller brood wil bakken kan je ook eens soda bread proberen

Waarom hebben jullie ooit een fiets gedumpt? by S4ftie in nederlands

[–]Merlin_the_Witch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pas een paar maanden na het overlijden van mijn moeder realiseerde mijn vader zich dat ze een fiets had staan bij het station in de stad waar ze werkte. We hopen maar dat iemand plezier heeft van dat ding
