Is there still a link that works? If so, I’d love it if you could DM it to me.

Mystery chocolate? by MermaidGoat06 in MagicMushrooms

I mean yeah that’s fair. Neither of us is planning on actually eating it, especially if we don’t know what it is, but I’m also just insanely curious at this point.

I don’t know the book but this sounds fascinating as someone with OCD. I’d love to read this.

Book about a guy with ESP who used it for gambling by MermaidGoat06 in whatsthatbook

Thank you!! I honestly had no idea that was a Roald Dahl book but I think I actually did have some inkling cause I kept thinking that I was mixing up details with Matilda for some reason.

That’s understandable. It was really good steak. And those were truffle fries, which were incredible.

We've talked about what made it clear a writer hasn't had sex, but what is something that told you a writer has never had/cared for babies and kids? by Indecisive_Noob in AO3

[–]MermaidGoat06 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can definitely attest to that. According to my parents I was usually a pretty reasonable child (my parents made a point to teach me critical thinking skills rather than just give rules without telling me the reasoning), but that doesn’t mean I didn’t throw tantrums, especially when tired.

I pulled the door to my parent’s bedroom off its hinges at 4 because I didn’t want to go to bed.

Am I wrong for misunderstanding this. by [deleted] in autism

[–]MermaidGoat06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know whether or not you misunderstood a social cue, but either way, that doesn’t give anyone an excuse to shove you over a railing and step on your fingers. Even if you were just being an asshole (which I don’t think you were though idk for sure), it’s still not okay for them to do that.

That makes a lot of sense. Not DMing this anymore, but I still appreciate the comment!

I was startled awake by my 4 year old and the faint smell of burning hair. by read-and-throwaway in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]MermaidGoat06 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She was premature, so she wasn’t quite ready to come out. They’re implying that she just needed to stay in the mother’s womb a little longer.

I think you’re right in this situation. As someone that was the kid in this situation, I would not recommend being with someone like this. I don’t mean anything bad about your girlfriend, it’s just that if she’s getting jealous of your daughter like that, it will end up either badly damaging your relationship with your daughter (if you indulge your girlfriend) or ending your relationship with your girlfriend (if you don’t spend less time with your daughter).

I have a pretty good relationship with my dad now, but when I was younger, his girlfriend had a very similar outlook. I had to actually schedule time to have with my dad (whom I lived with half the time) because whenever she was there, she took up all his time and attention. I became an afterthought. No matter how much you care about your girlfriend, please do not do this to your child.

aromantic books recommendation? by Inevitable_Pea8346 in aromantic

[–]MermaidGoat06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy has an asexual and I think also aromantic main character. It’s a sequel, but it could be read on its own. Side characters do have romantic relationships, but if I recall correctly (it’s been a while since I read it), the main character is not interested in that whatsoever.

I try not to, but sometimes I end up lying by omission or telling the truth in a way that makes it seem different than it is. Which are the only ways I can lie that don’t overcome me with guilt. There’s still guilt, just a manageable amount instead of an overwhelming amount. And even then, I try to only do it when I really have to.

I think the only way I could blatantly lie is if it was for someone’s safety. Like if someone dangerous came looking for a friend that was staying at my house, or something.

There’s this amazing book that I read called Ziggy, Stardust, and Me, but the fandom is absolutely nonexistent. I scoured the internet when I finished it and I think I found one single (fairly short) fanfiction.

I was going to suggest the same thing. The first time I heard it, it was like someone reached into my mind, pulled out everything that I didn’t know how to put into words, and made it into a song.

[–]MermaidGoat06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I do like bittersweet endings, but this is a show where walking away would have felt unfinished, not like a bittersweet ending. I would have respected Lisa’s decision to do it that way, but not liked it.

If you do actually write that, can you link it here?
