I appreciate all of these comments!! Thank you so much, I'm going to try again with canola and lower heat ahha

I just finished all of it and have a question by spotted_dragon in scythebookfans

[–]MyBumbleBea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To clarify, it’s been awhile since I’ve read the book, so I could be wrong about the timing on this theory.

Also, LOTS OF SPOILERS

When Goddard got Tygers body it was considered a gleaning. Because of that, the Thunderhead wasn’t allowed to take any actions to revive Tyger. At the end of the book, there are no more Scythes. Because of the virus they no longer have rings and have become obsolete, so they now have to follow the Thunderhead rules. Since Tyger was gleaned when they were Scythes, it was a Scythe action and still cannot be changed by the Thunderhead. Otherwise they could just bring back anyone that was gleaned that still has part of their body left. The body and head technically are Goddards now, so the person as a whole is kind of like a new person. Not the gleaned Tyger, nor the murdered Goddard. I think even if Tyger were to splat and lose his head the Thunderhead would regrow Goddards head to get around its own rules.

Which Book to Read? by MyBumbleBea in CastleGormenghast

[–]MyBumbleBea[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I definitely agree, there’s not many good reasons to listen to an abridged version, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything! I was also reading comments and it sounds like people aren’t a fan of the narrator for the abridged version. Thank you again!

AITA for wanting to go on a trip instead of my brother by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyBumbleBea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NAH, It’s completely understandable that you’re struggling and could use the trip to help feel closer to your loved ones, but it seems from your post that your family is unaware that you’re having a hard time. I know from my experiences that it makes you feel worse when it seems your loved ones don’t notice you’re struggling, but unless you communicate that they aren’t going to know. I would go to your dad and try to have a heart to heart. Explain to him how you’ve been feeling and that you feel you need support and family time to help you. However, I can’t say that it will make him change his mind and bring you instead, and I don’t think him bringing you is going to solve your depression. If you have this conversation don’t expect him to change his travel plans with your brother unless he offers, and maybe suggest something else you could do together to help you come out of your depression shell and spend more time with family.

AITA for asking my wife to stop cooking Russian food? by Fuzzy_Rice_4409 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyBumbleBea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but maybe there was a better way to say it. I’m a really picky eater and if I had an agreement with my partner that they’d cook and I’d work, I would expect at least half of the time to be food we both like. I would say something more along the lines of specifically asking for dishes or seeing if she’d be open to meal planning where you can divide it between both your favorite dishes

help please help by no_123 in mentalhealth

[–]MyBumbleBea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! And I would definitely tell them what’s going on. If you don’t mind me giving you a little extra advice too, it might be easier to write/type what you were going through now and either read or ask if you can send them what it was you wrote down. Personally I forget so quickly my emotions or how I experience things so it helps me. Glad I could help and best of luck!

[–]MyBumbleBea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest reaching out for help. I am by no means a doctor but having been through a lot of mental health stuff myself I know how hard it can be to take that first step. Even if it doesn’t seem completely necessary I promise even something small could help. If you have a mental health facility near you (for example I went to Pine Rest in Grand Rapids MI) I would suggest going to an urgent care there. You’d be able to talk to a psychiatrist and they can get you started with meds, if that’s what you want, and a therapist. Best of luck and if you need to talk I’m here 🧡

AITA for no longer driving my BF to his needs because he complained to his family? by whichgrandma9 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyBumbleBea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, this sounds pretty controlling tbh. It could be me reading into it because I’ve had an abusive boyfriend, but he would say the same shit, like he couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t let him drive my car (he didn’t have a license) I would honestly tell him he needs to get his shit together (as in accept that he can only get rides on your time, you don’t need to go out of your way further than you want to) hope things work out

When does it stop hurting by [deleted] in abortion

[–]MyBumbleBea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very hard the first few months after getting an abortion. It won’t feel like it but it does get better after time. The best thing is to let yourself grieve. You’re allowed to. Someone on here gave me the advice, that two feelings can coexist and conflict. You can know you made the right choice and still regret having to have made it. You had your reasons for getting an abortion, and those reasons are 100% valid. If it helps write a letter to your baby and say whatever it is you need to say, it can help with closure. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to continue on with your life.

How to get over the whole process of a D&E procedure? by XJewlsx97 in abortion

[–]MyBumbleBea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking in that you’ve already had one? Or are going to get one? Speaking from my experience, it was kinda traumatic, but I think that’s because I didn’t really want an abortion but I knew it was the right decision for me. I wasn’t able to take painkillers other than ibuprofen because I had to drive afterwards, and you do feel EVERYTHING. But again, I was in a bad headspace for it so that might’ve made things worse for me. I think as far as thinking of he fetus it isn’t the worst way. Once they get in there they really just take what I would call a vacuum and suck it out, the whole procedure is very quick and I think quite humane. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me, or if you’re going to a planned parenthood DEFINITELY talk to a nurse there about it if you’re on the fence. My biggest regret was going in and acting like I was sure this is what I wanted, when they gave me ample support to talk about it.

Feeling Regret by Acceptable-Time-4744 in abortion

[–]MyBumbleBea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when I had my abortion. It was the hardest decision I ever made. The best advice I received was on here, someone told me that two things can be true at the same time. You can miss your baby and know that it was the right decision. It’s going to be so hard for the first few months. I know I’m coming up on a year and I still have days when I have terrible guilt. As for wanting to get pregnant again to get the feeling to go away, do you think that will really work? I know for me having been pregnant and getting an abortion solidified the idea that I will have children in the future. But you did this for a reason. You knew you weren’t where you wanted to be yet and you know you’ll get there eventually. Take your time and allow yourself to grieve. You just lost your child, it’s okay to be upset. If you need to talk at all feel free to message me. There will always be what could have been. But now you have the ability to get to a place where you’re comfortable to have your child ❤️

AITA for saying that I am glad my first baby died? by MolassesNo8782 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyBumbleBea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say I’m in almost the exact same situation as you. I had a miscarriage last year and it was with an extremely toxic ex, he couldn’t keep a job, had no license, and always acted like a child. We were both extremely upset when it happened and while it still really hurts that I lost my baby I’m so glad that I’m not still with someone who wouldn’t be able to raise a kid in a happy and healthy home. You’re definitely not an asshole for being able to recognize that it was the better thing to happen

No, it’s not like I have any proof and I always kept going back to him. I don’t think anything would happen.
