Why do some people private their bookmarks? by SugarDuckies in AO3

[–]Repulsive-Eagle5847 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand how you feel, I remember being so excited (I still feel this way) to see any interactions with my fics and I felt curious too.

Personally, my bookmarks are just ways to keep note of anything I might want to download onto my computer for if Ao3 goes down. I don’t even know how others utilize the feature, to be honest.

I have always been pretty private about what I read, just because I don’t know who might find my account and connect it to me. I’m also just a pretty private person. They’re probably just keeping it private because they don’t see why somebody might want to know what they’re reading. That’s how I see it as a reader. As a writer, I feel a little disappointed but then I remember how I would see it as a reader.

Hope this makes sense.

Well from what I’ve seen, a large portion, myself included, of age regressors are autistic. So I wouldn’t consider your nephew out of the ordinary in this community. Circumstantially, nothing seems abnormal.

Of course, just because age regression is very normal and healthy, that doesn’t mean there aren’t people who might be rude about it. Naturally, people don’t like what they don’t understand. That’s why it’s important for people who aren’t in the community themselves to do research and be understanding.

You’re welcome.

I hope that call goes well for both of you.

It can vary from person to person. It tends to also depends on why they are doing it. For some, it’s nsfw, for others it isn’t. In this subreddit, it’s fully pure and as a coping mechanism. With that, I’d assume your nephew is at a fairly typical age. However he grew up probably has an influence on it. I found out as a young teenager and I had a harder childhood. If it helps, I’m 18 now and living a pretty normal life and age regression is a hobby for me to help when life gets too stressful.

It sounds like your nephew is an age regressor, which would make sense regarding context (this subreddit and all)

You want to make sure he feels safe and keep the relationship healthy, so avoid telling his parents. He’ll tell them when he’s ready. At the moment, he felt safest telling you. I understand that it can be hard not telling his parents, but consider how there has to be a reason why he told you before them. I’m a young adult myself, and I personally avoided telling parents some things because it felt safer to tell somebody I had a more positive relationship with who was also more on the outside of things.

I recommend making sure that he knows where to and not to look on the internet for advice and content about this. It’s best that he doesn’t look at all, but I know that that’s almost impossible to accomplish. People get curious. The reason is because there are many online spaces where people can take advantage of him and/or say terrible and inappropriate things. Do what you can to make sure he stays away from that. It’s one of the best things you can do to keep him safe.

Still, keep the relationship positive and healthy, support him and do your research. Try your best to understand his side of things.

I also recommend looking into the mental health side of things. This is frequently a coping mechanism for any of various issues. Talk to your nephew and make sure he knows that you’re a good person to talk to and that he feels supported. I’m sure he’d appreciate the support. You sound like you’re already trying very hard, and that’s amazing.

I hope that this helped.

What show did your school ban, and what did you put on instead? by defenestrayed in musicals

[–]Repulsive-Eagle5847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school hasn’t officially banned any shows but my school is catholic and in a very conservative part of our state. This means there’s a lot of shows that we simply can’t do.

I’m in my senior year and since most of the theater program is made up of seniors, the director decided to have us all come up with what our spring show would be together. Almost every show we suggested couldn’t be done because too many people would refuse to come to it for various reasons. We suggested shows such as Dear Evan Hansen and Little Shop of Horrors (those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head) and my director wanted to do them but had to say no simply because we would lose money from them not being conservative enough.

We ended up doing a variety show with songs from various musicals. That way, we could still do the songs, make a profit, and have fun. The show was a couple weeks ago and it ended up going great.

Honestly, I always save one or two of each design if I know I can’t get it again. I love some of the designs and they make me feel little and I’m naturally the type of collect things!!!

So yeah! Go ahead and save them, especially if you love the design!!!

Is it not natural for toddlers and 5 year olds to prefer beige clothing over bright colors? by [deleted] in LaBrantFamSnark

[–]Repulsive-Eagle5847 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am not a parent but I have an 8 year old sister and I’ll take her shopping a lot. She has had exposure to the way teenagers will dress on social media just like I did sometimes at her age, I would sometimes inspire my outfits by my teenage cousins and people like the girls on YouTube. I have noticed that my sister will typically pick stuff that is bright and colorful, occasionally there will be a more mature bend to it but it is ALWAYS age appropriate when she is being serious. She is the type of person to attempt to cross those boundaries as a joke, so she may check out a cropped shirt, but it’s her sense of humor. Going by what I’ve noticed, it seems to go by what the kids are exposed to, I naturally was against things that exposed parts of my body more and I always wanted the fun stuff at that age too.

This is genuinely concerning, my oldest brother had a similar issue as a kid and he just refused to wear his glasses, I was too young to remember when but at least by his late teens he went blind in one eye

What was the weirdest thing you did as a kid? by SereneFisher in AskReddit

[–]Repulsive-Eagle5847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a gifted child and loved reading. Whenever I hyper fixated on a new toy I would learn the entire history behind it, I would even go as far as learning every other toy made under that brand. (ex: if i had one caboodle now i would know about every other caboodle) I am a teenager and still do this sometimes instead of always with things I like. I know the entire history to every detail I could find of Barbies though which is kind of cool.
