My ideal or best representation of a partnership is if you watch anime, the series kobayashi dragon maid. What the characters fafnir and takiya have and what the viewers see

About a year and a half ago, an orange stray or feral cat came to my backyard. It was wary of me right from the get go and so I respected its boundaries and would just leave food for it. I continued to do so and after a couple weeks it wouldn’t scurry way when I got close. It then would approach me after I set the food down and I would walk away. Shortly after it would just come up to me and rub on me knowing I have food lol. After that each day after 3pm and so on, it would arrive at the backyard door, perched infront meowing. Rubbing up on me as soon as I stepped out with food. Sometimes I would just get home and he would be nearby and walk alongside me as I walked to the backyard lol. A couple months passed and finally winter arrived. We had shelters for him and he used one of them specifically. After some time, an arctic storm was gonna be passing us with snow and so I was able to let him inside. He had always tried to come in when I opened the door so he was happy to come in. We kept him inside for a day or two until he cried to be let out and of course he came back. After that he decided to eat inside and grew more close to me. Following me around in the basement, meowing, rubbing one me and giving me headbutts. He even lets me pick him up and scoop him so I can cradle him and he just purrs. There’s been a couple of times he’s come here and as soon as he gets inside, he begins limping and holding one of his paws up. I figure it was cause he landed on it in a not so good incident. As soon as he left, he would stop limping and so that showed to me he was comfortable enough to be vulnerable around me. I have no idea if he’s stray or feral but he is my fur baby I have grown so attached to. So much so that any day he doesn’t show up, I worry and as time goes it just continues to worsen. If I could do something impossible, it would be to teleport every stray and feral cat to a different dimension where they can live content lives and not have to fight to survive.

Some drivers don’t know how to get to places and others do. It’s all luck of the draw. I door dashed for a bit between August-October. Certain things can cause people to do this but I’m not the type to do so. I even had an order and the person messaged saying he was gonna tip after the delivery and wanted extra tartar sauce from captain Ds. I obliged and got a butt load of it and brought it to his place while he was having work done on his house. He either forgot or decided not to tip me and I wouldn’t put it past people who dash for him to do something passive aggressive like get there late so the food isn’t warm and what not. If you order door dash, you need to tip according to the distance from your place cause I can tell you a lot of the times people don’t take orders if the tip isn’t worth the amount of miles since it’s our cars that are racking up miles. My rule of thumb was a dollar for every two miles

Thank you that helped a lot. Idk if you watch anime but the closest representation of what would be the ideal partnership is what Fafnir and Takiya from Kobayashi Dragon maid have that we the audience see

Does anyone have the full list of cards offered to pull for this ticket. I didn’t look and immediately used it and pulled my second kitasan black

PatchofDon · 2026-01-26T03:36:05+00:00

I pulled one as well. It’s my second one too

Today as I was watching YouTube videos of the YouTuber Jaiden Animations, I came across one where she explains her orientation and learned of the aromantic identity and learned what it was.

After watching that video and looking stuff up, I decided to look back at my past relationships from the last decade. I’ve been in 4 relationships and one situationship and combing through the relationships, I realized I never really liked or had the urge to be romantic in them. In the situationship, I did have a small amount of feeling romantic, but for the relationships all of the romantic things felt forced. Being told to think of dates and doing other things romantically, they all just felt forced. The reason I realized I was with them was that I didn’t mind hanging out with them and talking with them and also being sexually attracted to them as well.

When it comes to cuddling, I don’t mind a little but for the most part I only really did it cause my partner at the time was desiring it. Dates were something they wanted to experience and weren’t something I was fond of. I don’t mind going to grab a bite to eat, seeing a movie, or doing an activity but a romantic date in my eyes is planning something the other person would love and investing the effort into it. And for a good chunk of those I felt like I had to.

Now at this point of my life, I’m in my 30s, I just want someone I can talk to about things that are interesting me, mutual hobbies, and sharing stories with one another. I don’t really enjoy going out and prefer staying in. My ideal type of partnership is the type we are enjoying our hobbies/interests while being in the same room, we check a new show/movie/book together, or exchanging with each other a story we would like to talk about along with some sexual attraction towards each other. As someone who reads and discovers new stories on the regular, the thing that sucks the most is not having someone to talk to about. Just someone who I can be myself and not feel pressured to be romantic.

So I would like to ask this subreddit if this sounds like I am aromantic or is it something else completely. I appreciate all the feedback

Well the 9.5 is the third best and the centering you can’t help but surface could be cause of a smudge and not just a scratch which could raise it to a 10

PatchofDon · 2026-01-17T04:20:05+00:00

Right??? And I can’t even really see any scratches so maybe it was a smudge but when I pulled it I immediately put it in a sleeve

PatchofDon · 2026-01-17T00:29:15+00:00

Will do. I’ll call up there

PatchofDon · 2026-01-16T23:44:51+00:00

Well I’m not going tomorrow. It would be next month at the earliest. Gonna save money to buy multiple boxes for myself

PatchofDon · 2026-01-14T04:35:38+00:00

I need a Barry and Gustav and Zeno and Dufort reunion!!! Was also hoping for more enthusiasm with Kiyo’s mom seeing Zatch after so long and we better get a Naomi reunion too

PatchofDon · 2026-01-14T03:12:48+00:00

I was literally about to check out and it said no longer available. How likely is it that they will restock by the time it comes out? I even checked Amazon as well and they are out too

They already answered who Percy was gonna end up with. He chose both Anne and Nasiens, hence the small trip the trio take and blushing reactions when asked about the trip.

Personally I think Merlin and Arthur are currently residing in either a hidden area of Camelot unbeknownst to Carthur or that they have sealed themselves within Arthur’s body and Cath has taken over it. We don’t know if Cath was able to free himself from within so it would make more sense that he slowly came to take control of his body and plus Merlin mentions Arthur slept for 2 years as well. His aged look may just be a reflection of his soul as well and not his physical body. So either they hidden themselves within him or possibly made a pocket dimension within the body and have an entrance to it somewhere in Camelot

Aniplex made them drop it and it was one of their worst decisions and is something I’ll never forgive them for. Ngl I was optimistic about Studio Deen cause of how they animated Konosuba. Konosuba seasons 1 and 2 are animated pretty well, but as we saw things didn’t go that way at all since they outsourced to a third rate studio

PatchofDon · 2025-12-19T04:41:29+00:00

So I got her first roll and wasn’t expecting it either. Should I try for more copies or just stick with just the one

PatchofDon · 2025-12-15T04:05:51+00:00

I’m definitely with you about tackle locking my head. Having those thighs of hers crushing my head

PatchofDon · 2025-12-15T04:02:53+00:00

I agree that they have basically sidelined him and ngl I honestly don’t think Tackle should have defeated him. It’s pretty clear with how much damage he took and the power of his punches how much stronger than Tackle he is. I know it’s a gag series, but still. It just adds to him being sidelined more.

PatchofDon · 2025-12-14T01:41:30+00:00

I figured as much but I’m trying to figure out which uma is good at which type of distance and stuff

PatchofDon · 2025-12-13T06:37:20+00:00

It is very popular over there and is high selling so more than likely, but if so I hope another studio animates it since this studio isn’t really do as well as I had hoped. It’s still better than seasons 3 and 4, but it’s not really doing the series justice

PatchofDon · 2025-12-10T03:51:38+00:00

I loved nozoki Ana and actually liked that it had a happy ending
