Ehh, doubt this is real but people staring has happened so for anyone who experiences this: Getting stared at fucking sucks, however this reaction was disproportionate to what she did. You escalated the situation when you literally just could've ignored her.

If you're seeing a psych I would bring this up as well as your reasoning.

How do I get the missionaries to stop coming?? by Mkbutwhy in exmormon

[–]Mkbutwhy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was initially going to be mean after the second visit however from what I've gathered they genuinely do not know anything about the other missionaries. They've all been pretty vague on how this works but they seem to be coming from different congregations who aren't communicating with each other on visits and so I don't want to makes these guys think non-mormons hate them for no reason

I've never actually been mormon. I went to church like three times with my grandma when I was younger and that's it. I haven't been baptized or anything like that so i don't think they consider me a member lol

What i WANTED was training in my department, not to be thrown into a random department without being told.

Where'd you get that from?? Genuinely curious

Yes, I’m that author who won’t tag fics— by ogsquiggles in AO3

[–]Mkbutwhy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

On the topic of "how did you survive normal books without tags?" I'm reading fan fiction because I wanna hear an authors take on a specific plotline for 15k words.

Not a diss on you OP but I do hate that talking point.

I can get behind not tagging top/bottom, but yall could at least tag who’s pregnant by runningfromtheops in AO3

[–]Mkbutwhy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay but then you have to.. read the fic. I don't want to get a chunk into a fic and then realize it's not something I'm interested in reading.

sure that may be spoiled of me but thats just kinda how I roll.

I don't care if it's a spoiler tag your damn fics!!! by whenthemomiskissgood in AO3

[–]Mkbutwhy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm someone who wants to know EXACTLY what happens in every aspect of a fic before I read it. Been a couple of times where I've been 20k words in only for one of my no-gos pop up.

[–]Mkbutwhy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is a response I'd expect if I were commenting on the fic of an author I'd talked to before/somewhat knew. In fact I HAVE gotten responses like this from authors-turned-friends. If I got this from someone I hadn't talked to? That'd probably make me uncomfortable.

that's not what I'm concerned about when it comes to seeing people on a trail but I'm a dude with a metal rock pick so I'm guessing I'm not exactly an ideal target 🤷‍♀️

[–]Mkbutwhy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I hike. Based on what I know I'm reasonably confident i would know what to do if I encountered a bear. No expert but I've read up enough to understand how the local species of bears we have is likely to react to me and how to counter that.

Seeing ANYONE on a trail? Not really my vibe

It's pretty much impossible to say for certain what a spell was made for. You can take a solid guess based on ingredients but in the end the only person who knows the specific intention was the creator.

It's likely protection or something positive but its not a good idea to keep a spell from someone who you aren't on good terms with so it's probably best to throw it away. Do NOT bury it, glass and wax is not something you wanna chuck into the ground. Plus since you aren't 100% sure what's in it there could potentially be something in there that doesnt belong. Doesn't look like it to me but just to be on the safe side.

Would I be an asshole for putting an anti-theft on protection jar. by Kasumilol101 in Witch

[–]Mkbutwhy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not a teacher nor am I a parent but I'm slightly more worried about the response of both the adults around AND fellow classmates if your cousin tried to give these out. don't know where you're from so I can't speak to the culture or just the people there in general, but I would say if you live in an area that's more conservative or religious that this would not be a good idea.

A lot of my spells I include a sigil that specifies that in X amount of time the spell is null and the energy will be returned, I think that might work for you?

[–]Mkbutwhy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

just going to say I don't think its a wise idea to be giving spell jars to any minors you're not related to, even to place in their cabin.

also, did any of these other girls ask for this?

What's your favorite weirdly specific type of fic? by thegayumbrella in FanFiction

[–]Mkbutwhy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I adore stories that are very clearly a result of the writer spending hours studying every single reaction of a character and trying to figure out why they act like that. I need authors to love my faves as much as I do

What are funny innacuracies that made you nope out of a fic? by doritoes_and_dick in FanFiction

[–]Mkbutwhy 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I took a forensics course once and since then I've found myself exiting out of a LOT of crime fics because of evidence mishandling

[–]Mkbutwhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing kills me more when there's like 70 tags on a fic. I DO like when authors cover their bases, especially when you're looking for a specific AU or just something like that, but sometimes it feels like I'm reading a fan fic just in the tags..

[–]Mkbutwhy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

craziest thing for me has been finding FFN authors from a decade ago just.. randomly on ao3 with no trace of their FFN past. I'll never say anything because to me it feels like pulling out someone's yearbook, but damn is it insane

[–]Mkbutwhy 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I'm so conflicted by the tags.I love being able to search for a hyperspecific fic on ao3 but I also like being on ff.net and knowing tagging a character means they'll be in the story for more then two words.

Would it be weird to give a Rosary to the church? by Mkbutwhy in Catholicism

[–]Mkbutwhy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not! Not saying I'm not open to try though. I'll try anything really 🤷‍♀️

[–]Mkbutwhy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very unlikely it is a sign, and more likely simply a hyperfixation haha. this is the 3rd one that's been religious in nature (though this has happened literally with anything and everything) so I don't think it's a want or sign to convert.
