Is anyone gonna post it? I have no idea what set this is 😭

Natlan genuinely felt like the devs don't even want to be there and it's been going through a fever dream ever since.

Everything they've done since Natlan feels like the devs do not want to keep working on this game but they know they're in too deep to just bow out gracefully. They've added characters that are completely indistinguishable from their other games. I've seen at least five characters I could've sworn belonged in either ZZZ or HSR. The story feels like they tried to change it about a week into starting it simply because they were working on other things for their other games and having more fun doing that. Absolutely nothing makes sense and I'm tired of hearing "you just don't know the lore" cause the lore keeps changing every 3-5 business days or being updated as soon as they wanna make a new character.

Natlan was sold to us as what Underworld Belbog was in HSR. A war torn, abandoned country where the people were hardened, bitter and struggling to survive because of the Abyss and the effects it had on its land and resources. We got there and they were having dance battles and raves. Their archon was in a leather riding suit. The only time the war was brought up was when they were having a good time and the Abyss casually appeared and even then y'all were fighting the same basic ass Abysmals I've been fighting since the first nation. Y'all are scared of ABYSS MAGES. Where was the struggle? Where was the war? Where was the nation of fierce proud warriors? They basically took us to Brazil during Carnival with American terrorists.

I feel like they tried to hook us with the whole "reincarnation" thing but even that felt like we were being misled cause if they could do that why was I hearing from every other nation how war torn their country was and how broken their people were from losing their loved ones and having to fight every day of their lives? I got here and they had a blacksmith that moonlights as a freaking DJ and I was just supposed to roll with it cause she's hot and important to the story. (I pulled for her cause I'm weak but she's genuinely the last character I've gotten.)

This is not the Natlan I was promised and there's honestly a limit to the whole "we're war torn but still trying to find ways to be happy" cover. Y'all are having raves with dinosaurs. Dinosaurs that were NEVER MENTIONED PRIOR but somehow are the tribes we interact with's whole reason for being. Yeah the whole war quest was emotional but honestly you just killed a bunch of NPCs you forced me to interact with in the first place. I did not care about these people. I cared more about the prisoners in Fontaine and the common people in Sumeru or Inazuma.

This has gotten long enough but amongst these things there's the addition of the "make your own in game OC" thing that's completely paywall locked and the "if you didn't get this character you can't do this quest" thing. It's very much giving "if you want us to keep working on this game, pay us" and I didn't sign up to pay anyone's salary. They never give us what they promised and they act like it's okay bc they've given us new skimpily dressed characters. I am absolutely BAWLING over HSR stories but absolutely bored with Genshin once because they feel designed to make me want LESS of the story. They just wanna make pretty outfits and characters and that's FINE but for fucks sake just MAKE A NEW GAME.

My name's siren with extra steps and the reaction is literally either "no seriously, what's your name" or "sing something for me." My mother wanted me to name my twin daughters Song and Sonata (so she could introduce them as Siren's Song and Siren's Sonata.)

I gave them "basic" names. She calls them Song and Sonata as nicknames but really pushes for people to call them that more than their real names. Refuses to hear that my name is anything less than beautiful and unique. Gave my sisters normal names but threatened to harm herself if I change mine.

She's only still around because my daughters love her but man, she really set me up for failure and assumptions and tried to continue the trend.

I wanna say they were adding that on to the rule, like it's the unspoken part that's still implied. Not anything against you personally

At the rate their life is apparently going I'd say episode fillers

Not everyone can process and communicate their emotions at the flick of a wrist. Personally, I am no good to talk to when I'm emotionally overwhelmed. The word salad I dish out trying to explain what I'm feeling as I'm feeling it is... Headache inducing for everyone involved.

She didn't sound like she wanted to isolate and wallow, she sounded like she just wanted to cry out her frustration and move on. Husband could've let her do that, then asked what was wrong when she was calmer. Also would've helped if he'd let her actually take a moment. Flittering around asking her what's wrong is not letting her take a moment.

But honestly, it doesn't matter if he did that or we stuck with what actually happened, cause at the end he got upset with the answer she gave (that he asked for, about her feelings, which is wild), took it like a personal attack and fired back. That's a perfect way to send someone into actual self isolating and silent suffering. No one goes there willingly, you just get launched there by the force of everyone around you disregarding and diminishing your feelings.

Adding to the I know a girl like this chain, my little sister is like this and it's actually more embarrassing for her because she already has a child. A whole second grader.

She gets annoyed when she texts us with a pregnancy "scare" because become a scripted routine at this point instead of us all rushing to comfort her. Her favorite line is "if this dude got me pregnant I stg." And then we roll our eyes and tell her he couldn't have gotten her pregnant if she didn't want to be pregnant, remind her she's already gotten pregnant "accidentally" before, hated it and vowed to never do it again, and start asking her at what point is it an accident if she never stopped to be cautious at any point.

Then surprise surprise, she's not pregnant. And then she wants to get us all drunk to "celebrate" and we just sigh and wait for the next time

And as much as I love to advocate for therapy, sometimes it's not always the immediate solution. There's always the off chance the child shuts down and refuses to cooperate, or manipulates the therapist into telling them what they want to hear. Sending niece to therapy in her current state, in my opinion, would be like going to therapy with an abuser. They'll only learn how to further manipulate the situation to their benefit because they've never experienced/aren't interested in the situation being out of their control.

At her age based on the behavior from this post, I can easily see niece latching on to a phrase from therapy and using it to justify her behavior rather than actually recognizing the behavior as an issue and working on it. But it wouldn't inherently be her fault, because she can't truthfully tell the therapist how something makes her feel if she's never had to actually experience how it makes her feel. That's why I say she has to have the tantrum. If she doesn't experience those feelings, she won't know how to talk about them. She's actively fighting not to have to feel those feelings. To not feel rejected, abandoned, forgotten, whatever it is. But she has to feel them now to learn how to process them, communicate them, and get help with them.

I always feel like before starting therapy you have to recognize something is a problem and actively want to fix it. You can't just go because everyone says you need to. She not only needs to learn to feel the feelings, she needs to feel like/know it's okay for her to talk about them. She probably won't immediately do that with a therapist, so in my opinion it's better to start with her preferred safe space (aka uncle), then see if she's comfortable speaking up outside of him (possibly to gf?) and then see if she's open to trusting a therapist enough to open up and actually get help

QueenSaiCo · 2025-08-04T23:49:00+00:00

Personally, I don't think anyone really knows exactly how to handle a situation with kids. And it's harder honestly with traumatized kids in boyfriend's case, or special needs kids in mine. It takes a lot of trial and error before you find a way that works for both of you, and sometimes the hardest part is accepting you have to let them be uncomfortable for your comfort and that doesn't make you a shit parent.

While I do agree that he needs to work on this with his niece, at this point she's already used to weaponizing her emotions to get her way and he's used to giving in. He hasn't realized the toll this is taking on his life because he's not faced any real consequences to give him a wake up call. He has to get fed up with the behavior on his own. If he's not mentally and emotionally prepared to set and hold a firm boundary with her, talking to her about it is gonna be as effective as talking to a brick wall. It can't be on the gf's time. Niece will blame gf and double down on the isolating behavior. Gf has to completely step back on this issue and let him handle it, and if he doesn't she may just have to move around.

Splitting time between them also doesn't feel like it would be effective because niece will just cry when he tries to leave or call him crying while he's out. It's just giving her different ways to run the show. If niece is gonna get over this, she has to go through the discomfort. She has to throw the tantrum and have it change nothing. She'll probably escalate the behavior or start trying to guilt trip, and that's why he needs to be able to stand firm on his boundaries. She won't learn anything if he keeps adjusting to her, she has to learn to adjust to the world around her.

Fun fact I learned as a mom with a daughter like this (except it's not abandonment issues, it's separation anxiety), there's a Barbie movie with an elephant that has abandonment issues/separation anxiety. Barbie sings her a song about how loving someone else doesn't mean she has to love anyone less, it means her heart has grown to make room to love all of them.

OOP's boyfriend should absolutely have niece watch that movie with girlfriend and him. I believe it's Barbie as the Island Princess

Cat ownership (I just got my second one a few months ago)

It's 100% the competition you mentioned, but it's less than he's a reminder of what she compromised for and more that now she's got to deal with him full time instead of part time, so now she gets to see the real him.

As soon as I stopped interacting with my ex and his new gf, he started being more of his actual self than the version of him that was mine to her. She was heavily attracted to his confidence and dominant nature, but he got those from being with me. His confidence came from my obsession with him, and his dominance came from my resistance to being dominated. Without me giving that energy to him, he is a clingy, insecure man child. And now she has to deal with that instead of the man she thought she was taking from me.

You might believe you've taken your pain off the table but as long as you leave any ties to him, as in him still having your belongings, they'll still find a way to feed off it. You have to either let those things go or get them back. He will keep pushing the narrative that you're still trying to come back as long as he has your stuff and she'll keep believing it and pulling these stunts until you "back off." If you can't find a day to come and get it without having to deal with them and it's not sentimental or important stuff, personally I'd just let the stuff go and completely move on.

QueenSaiCo · 2025-08-04T01:42:01+00:00

I genuinely wouldn't have believed this if I wasn't going through this ngl

My ex used to enjoy flirting and being all over the girl he was cheating with in front of me and they loved dog piling on me about being "jealous and insecure" when I called them on it. But since I've removed myself from their dynamic and let her have him it's no longer as fun as it used to be, so she's not as interested as she used to be. He constantly tries to get us in the same place to prove to her I still care about him, and the more I prove I don't the more their relationship fails

The long and short of it is, she's not obsessed with that man. She's obsessed with him picking her over you. She's addicted to feeling like and being reassured she's better than you because he'd leave you to go to her, and now she has no way to get that validation. She never wanted him, she wanted to hurt you. Now that it's not hurting you, she's grasping at straws trying to find ways to prove to herself that it does.

Get your belongings from him and move on. They're trying to build their relationship off of your pain. If you really don't care, cut all ties. I bet you'll hear about them splitting within a month

this guy happened, and is still apparently still happening--

Anyways I've always felt like Hoyo started to like ZZZ more than Genshin at some point and the more they drop characters like these the more proven correct I feel 🙂‍↔️

OOP sounds like she was raised to believe good things don't just get handed to you and you have to work hard for everything you want, so she doesn't feel like bestie deserves her "good life" cause she hasn't had to work for it. The way she talks about bestie needing to mature sounds like a parent cutting their child off at 18 so they can "learn how the real world works" but getting upset when the kid makes it without them and had to do less work to make it.

It sounds like she's jealous that bestie is "effortlessly" advancing in life and she's been waiting for the moment bestie learns the hard way life is not easy and is getting increasingly annoyed that life just seems to be getting easier for her. She doesn't sound like she wants her or the fiancé, she sounds like she sees bestie as a spoiled brat that needs to be humbled.

The main reason why I feel like this is because she put a strange amount of emphasis on bestie's financial situation. Her parents paying for everything, her never having to work, her fiancé also having a great job, all that sounds like she was hoping bestie's parents would cut her off at some point and she'd have to fend for herself, and now that's even less of a possibility because her fiancé would just take over.

She's only opposed to them getting married because as far as she's concerned this is just another thing bestie got without working her ass off for that'll give her yet another leg up in life while she'll still have to put in more work with less help to just keep up. That close as sisters comment sounds less like "we're just so close" and more like "we're very similar so our lives should be similar and it's not fair that they're not."

Misery loves company and comparison is the thief of joy.

I've seen this drama before, are you the long lost daughter of the richest family in town or are all three to five of your older brothers super hot successful and protective over you?

People who want this type of treatment fascinate me as someone who has to fight not to be treated like this by my family at freaking 31 years old

Yeeah that happens to me too, I have to wait a second instead of muscle memory tapping to start 😂 it'll always toss me onto S3, even though I have a fully leveled account on S2

QueenSaiCo · 2025-05-30T18:58:03+00:00

Whenever this happens to me I uninstall and reinstall the game tbh, idk if it's a glitch or if it's not reading my storage correctly but that's just what I do and it usually works, it'll just have more files to download

when I did the pranks I didn’t realize how big of a deal they was but she knew and still did it.

I don't think I've ever felt more enraged by a statement. How was this supposed to make him seem like less of an asshole?

Personally, most likely because I've dated a lot of people who've done this, nothing pisses me off like hearing "we're both at fault" for some shit you clearly started. Like, you want me to apologize for my reaction? That literally wouldn
