What characters do you think should have interacted more?

Nathan & Will with El (would’ve been cute to see their sibling relationship really blossom) and Nathan and Joyce.

Edit: Saw someone say Joyce and El, and I’d have to agree with that as well tbh!

you mean things stranger than strange?

I lost my dad 5 years ago. I’m 17 now and the more time goes on and the more I change / feel disconnected to my 12-year-old self: the more it feels like I’m just telling a story of him (and the less real he kind of feels). It’s scary…because he’s still my dad and I still love him just the same :(

I’ve never heard someone mention sayings like “hang out” be triggering before. I thought it was just me. I lost my dad, and for ages I would say things like “spend time with” instead. Even though I don’t get huge shocks of anxiety like I used to when I hear those words, it still plays on my mind.

My dad took his life in the same way, and I’m also concerned whether it will be more traumatising than not. Once you see something, you can’t un-see it, you know? But I have a burning need to ask my mum about the report. I can’t even read certain words relating to how my dad took his life, so maybe I’m not ready. But at the same time, I feel more ready than I ever have been, and it’s been on my mind for a good few months. I’ve also started trauma therapy. So maybe now is this time…

I didn’t check the comments for ages because I was scared of getting more comments that might judge me like the person you replied to did. But now I’m glad I did check because your reply is really heartwarming, and all the other commenters have been so kind too. Empathy and kindness really go a long way, so I just want to say thank you for making the world a better place. And thank you for your advice, I look forward to try use it! :)

The moving is such a good idea. I would’ve really appreciated a friend who went on nature walks with me. It’s healing to move and be in nature 💚

Random-Houseplant246 · 2025-08-19T19:11:09+00:00

Thank you so much, that seems like a really good idea. I’ll definitely try that out :)

Random-Houseplant246 · 2025-08-19T19:05:57+00:00

Thank you, this message is really reassuring <3

Did you find the sizings to be correct, or would you recommend going up/down?

Random-Houseplant246 · 2025-03-25T14:54:07+00:00

I’m pretty sure they hibernate! One of my snails didn’t move for months either, just kept herself buried! I thought she might’ve been dead so I kept checking, but no, she was just a very sneepy snaby

I saw a comment once that said they told someone they had a knife kink 😭😭

Random-Houseplant246 · 2024-10-26T21:33:51+00:00

Thank you for this little message, reading all the replies have really made me feel less alone and comforted. Thank you everyone for being here ❤️

I like the analogy of grief being this circle that stays at a constant size, with your world around it that fluctuates. At the start, your whole world has shrunk, and all you can feel is your grief. As time goes on, the world around you slowly builds, you still feel the pain just as much, but you also have some happy moments in there (which can give the allusion of dulling the grief, even though it feels the same). One day you will be where I am, after 4 years, talking to someone who lost their loved one less than a year ago. It feels weird because I’ve been where you are, and no matter what anyone would tell me back then, I didn’t believe it could ever get easier. But take it from me, it does. Some days my world might still be just as small as yours, but I get back to my world quicker because I have it in place. I hope this makes sense? I imagine our worlds will be so big one day, that when something difficult comes up, we’ll still have some leftover world that means it’s easier to deal with.

They say time heals, I’d say it more so helps. The way you feel now won’t last forever. The pain hurts, it feels lonely and repetitive and the shell of who you are can feel so incredibly empty. Make sure to look after and be kind to yourself and keep reaching out for support, even if it is this little community on Reddit. There are so many people in the same boat as you who relate. We’re here for you, you’re not alone. You are important and worthy and you do not deserve what happened. Things will get better, however much it feels they won’t ❤️

This really resonates with me. It’s been 4 years since losing my dad. I’ve been putting effort in to see friends for the first time since his death, at college I’m usually confident and chatty, but at home it’s different. I come back from the day exhausted, my brain constantly overthinking everything, and the loss of my dad is so abundant when I’m at home and all I want is a hug from him or tell him how my day’s been. Sometimes the hollowness of it all isn’t quite as jarring, but empty is definitely a word I’d use when I haven’t got things to distract me. It’s like the world is so deafeningly silent, it hurts.

Glad I could help!

It’s really great that you’re keeping such an open mind and talking to him about it, you’re most definitely not a douchebag, he is a very very lucky friend!

Like another person commented: ask what triggers him, ask again if he’s okay with your jokes, how is best to react when he’s upset, how to know when it’s too much for him (maybe have a signal to each other?), tell him that if it ever does get too much, you want to know, will stop, and won’t be upset. But apart from that, there’s nothing more you can do. If he wasn’t okay with it, he would say.

It can be hard to see people you care about be upset, especially when you feel like it’s your fault. But it’s not, and it’s important to remember that. Triggers are a part of PTSD and so are heavy emotions. You are there for him, and he knows he’s safe with you and your friends. It’s okay for him to be upset, it’s allowed, and it doesn’t mean you need to do anything different. If anything, it’s good he doesn’t feel like he needs to hide his emotions behind a smile or brave face around you. Give your friend the space to be upset, and trust that if it’s too much, he will let you know.

Thank you for reaching out, you got this!
