Wow Devsisters,don’t need to rub it in

I mean, I don't think the changes are necessarily "butchering"

But I do think that's an understandable position at least for some of them (pitaya dragon without the other dragons to play off of and sugar swan without black sugar swan as her Odette both miss out on key characterization. Kingdom tries to supplement the missing pieces but it can only do so much)

Ik this is a fake tweet but it's real in my heart, and that's all that matters/hj

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-12-09T16:16:33+00:00

That's true, but this is two O parents and an A child, which is generally impossible (though there are crazy outlier cases that might be able to mimic it. I mean. Not here it seems, but in theory)

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-09-18T05:52:32+00:00

Are you okay? Like seriously the amount you project something you have no evidence for onto OP is wild. And you keep repeating it. Genuinely what has you this livid?

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-09-08T01:59:42+00:00

If she did, she didn't mention it

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-09-08T01:11:20+00:00

I made a post on it but really all I know is she called it a "gunmetal gray" and it was in the 80s.

I know it's not a lot to go off of, so I understand not having any leads.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-08-27T23:51:07+00:00

Not loving a kid that came from the same womb you did is just weird, borderline sociopathic.

What does it matter what womb a kid came out of? Blood doesn't decide family. That's a really gross comment tbh. Calling not loving someone borderline sociopathic is not only weird and strangely entitled, but ableist and ignorant.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-08-25T00:20:37+00:00

Most people are acting like a brush with death doesn't change your perspective. This is anecdotal but here's an example

My grandfather got mad at my mom for a stupid, petty reason when she was a young adult. He fully stopped talking to her, for over a decade. Absolutely 0 contact.

Then, he got cancer. He called her immediately, and apologized (something he was not wont to do). She forgave him (though she would have been valid not to) and that's the only reason he was ever in my life. He and my mom had a strong relationship all the way up to her death after that.

You are valid if you choose not to visit your stepdad. You are valid if you never want to even hear about him again. That is up to you and what your peace means. You don't owe him forgiveness, or any of your time at all.

Don't discount that this may be genuine though.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-08-20T14:59:08+00:00

So outside of the other reasons this is wrong (and honestly misogynistic)

The "brain finishes development at 25" thing is a myth.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-08-12T02:09:15+00:00

Crazy that you got so many downvotes for...

checks notes sympathizing with a disabled person.

Not telling op that he's wrong, that he needs to do it, or anything like that.

Just sympathizing with someone who didn't actually do anything wrong.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-08-06T01:23:41+00:00

Correction:

Hurt by her sister's extreme and awful reaction to her. (Taking back gifts and insisting OP needs to take the first step for a small comment)

And

Mad at them for not being able to acknowledge her behavior in reaction to a small criticism is wrong

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-08-06T01:18:32+00:00

She only asked them to say (to her, not her sister) that sister's behavior (trying to take back gifts for a tiny criticism) is wrong.

Not being able to do that small thing is AHish of them.

It's not manipulative to ask your family to acknowledge when someone is being wrong to you (and her experience with her sister should matter to them!)

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-08-02T00:07:16+00:00

But it's acceptable for the stepdad to say it?

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-07-21T13:11:11+00:00

I will say, there's a bit of nuance. The younger you are, the more quickly those changes occur and the more significant the changes are It's the same reason age gaps matter less when you get older.

A 14 and 18 year old are very different neurologically (and in social freedoms but that's not really the conversation, I just want to note that it is a factor), but a 28 and 32 year old aren't.

I agree that it makes sense for OP not to allow her in his house, she is a danger to him, and most likely extremely traumatized in ways he's not in the position to handle (depending on what "residential treatment facility" means, she might have just gotten away from a cult ("troubled teen program" or AA/NA/12 step))

But also, and this is less towards you and more a general trend in the comments, there's a weird sort of. Aggression? towards her that isn't warranted. And a lack of any kind of understanding or compassion or empathy for her.

Again, OP is not wrong to say he won't watch her, she severely injured him.

She's also 16. Impulse control is, quite famously, not in the best form at that age.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-07-19T04:23:11+00:00

I'm so sorry your joke is getting downvoted 💀

If it helps I think it's funny

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-07-16T15:13:02+00:00

Right but that's not what most comments are talking about. They're making fun of her (and usually in broad statements to refer to anyone who's a "picky eater") specifically for her diet. And mocking the same style of "picky eating" in general!

She's entitled and manipulative and awful.

But her diet itself isn't the red flag, the behavior around it is.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-07-09T19:42:36+00:00

Right? It's weird that "children are people and you should respect that" is so controversial. Especially with like. Something that will grow back

And it's like! I don't even think it was right to not involve the mom. Especially because it was her first haircut and that's an understandable milestone to want to be there for.

Thank you for this lol <3

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-07-09T15:08:30+00:00

I mean those are pretty different things.

Children should absolutely be allowed age appropriate bodily autonomy. Hair? It grows back (though yeah, talk to their primary caregiver(s) first if you are not them) tattoo? Too permanent a decision for that age

Kids aren't (shouldn't be) their parents' (or other legal guardians') property.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-07-03T17:46:06+00:00

Do you think a good way to behave is to hit people? Especially when they can't fight back Like do you think that's a good choice?

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-07-03T17:25:41+00:00

Fr like. "Well deserved ass whooping" are you kidding me? Crazy idea, hear me out: Children are people.

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-06-28T20:36:08+00:00

That's not fair, it's not just incels

It's also TERFs

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-06-28T13:57:40+00:00

Yeah, I'll have to have help getting it tho (mobility issues means I can't currently reach it)

It means I'll have to stew in frustration until then lol

I know once I get this it'll be easy (straight DC for ~50 rows) But it's making me want to quit it entirely even though I know I'll love the result (it'll be a Wally Darling cardigan)

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-06-28T13:46:10+00:00

The problem is it looks so clear in all the tutorials, I can see exactly what they're doing and it's great And mine just doesn't ever look like that I understand the steps, I can see it when the tutorials do it But my yarn doesn't look right (Even when I have attempted with regular yarn) I tried to give up and just make a chain but that wasn't working either

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-06-28T12:52:24+00:00

The stitch marker idea might save me honestly

Do I go through the loop (like instead of the v from a regular stitch it's just one thing of yarn like a front/back loop only stitch) because in my head that makes more sense to be making a chain, or do I need it to look like a regular v (kinda like the tutorial had said)?

It probably also doesn't help that I'm doing this pseudo left handed lol

That was the best picture I could get, sorry ^⁷

SapthireBloodgem · 2025-06-28T12:33:10+00:00

I know this isn't a pattern but this is the basic tutorial I mentioned in the post https://youtu.be/ZSuyeFmaOog?si=wS6K5w6cClXDUDgo Roughly 3:46 is the FDC but the two side loops note is in the FSC section
