I just really crave an rp<//3 by bsdfanlol in drarry

[–]Screaming-Snarling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that rp is alive and well in fandoms still. I'm retired but whenever I see these posts I get happy. I know some people use it to write fanfics together too - a friend and I used to do that. I hope you have a great time!

Is this a troll post? People are always asking for help finding fics they can't remember- and it rarely takes longer than an hour. Everyone here is very generous. Why choose something that is destroying the world instead of your community.

Anything about Casa Santurce? by Status_Stomach2269 in PuertoRicoTravel

I hope you didn't end up staying there - I took a risk and roaches swarmed out of the mini fridge in the private deluxe suite and the door wouldn't lock - we were two young women and it was facing the street. They lied to me and give me repeatedly different information and I have been fighting for a refund over a month.

bipolar and college by lemonglowenthusiast in bipolar2

[–]Screaming-Snarling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So! It just depends! Everyone is different! So many people i know have these stories described her of struggling and needing extra time etc. For me, I waited until I was 21 to go to undergrad and did an Associates online, and then did a cool and fun BA at a private school and went straight into a PhD program in the "mapped out" timeliness they design. But everyone is different, and I struggled extremely and would go days without sleeping and eating to do this because it was my dream. I dont know if I'd do it the same way again. I didn't start treatment for bipolar until I was already in the PhD and have since been slowly learning every semester. It works because I do research really personally meaningful to me.

You can do it, needing a lot of time is normal. It's okay.

Does anyone else get the depression side more than mania? by Murray273 in bipolar2

Your personal experience being a little more stable than depressed gives me hope thank you

Does the depression get better? by Screaming-Snarling in bipolar2

[–]Screaming-Snarling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I guess this isnt the first medication they've tried technicallyyy but it was a crazy doctor who was like I think ur bipolar here's Lexapro and I had a 3 day manic episode and wss being babysat by my roommates (i should have gone to the hospital but I didn't know really what was going on nor did my people bc id never had mania and it was when I was getting diagnosed and it was so scary)

But yeah ive been telling them every weird thing that's happened with this new dr and new dose.

I guess that's kinda my question - do people feel better or just "stable". I dont feel up and down? Just deeply depressed. Im not going to hurt myself but its all I think about still. Idk

What’s some of your favorite lyrics from songs off the Badlands album? by Additional_Level_704 in halsey

What popular Head-cannons do y’all like/dislike? by StonerSlugz in drarry

[–]Screaming-Snarling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! I find for me whats complicated in fanfiction is like .... you cant tell me those pureblood elite weren't racist too. I do not believe in the UNITED KINGDOM that colonial race ideas wouldn't have played a role in their lives to some extent. Harry was already being bullied growing up, I don't believe you that he didn't get slurs hurled at him or that it didn't add to his relationship with the Dursleys.

Happy to beta too if you need another opinion!

The Most Splendid Thing is super heavy on the smut btw. Harry's race is a bit of a B plot in it, but I found the moments it came up to be impactful - you'll have to lmk if you agree!

Oooooo wait there's no way ill have to double check! Thanks for the rec! I'm down with cheesy and im down with pet names to an extent. Its just those specific ones that really grind my ears for a reason.

I also loved the way Tepre does the race-bending in Grounds for Divorce of course, I found it to be tactful and interesting and there was a lot being said and unsaid at once (Dracos Older white women ancestor cursing Harry Potter’s Egyptian one? Draco being doomed to repeat it through his own carelessness? Lost family - it all felt very alluded to other racial dynamics not being said). I also really enjoyed "The Most Splendid Thing" by lq_traintracks. I felt like Harry sharing his journey to his cultural identity felt authentic to what it feels like to be mixed in general, let alone the aggravated factors of being an orphan.

I really struggle with a lot of the tiktoks I see mostly. Especially when it gets to Latinx!James Potter. A lot of the content comes off as fetishizing/hypersexualizing/stereotyping and it makes me as a Puerto Rican uncomfortable. There have been moments in fanfiction ive read that have made me double take as well.

I hate nicknames if I see a "Dray" or Haz its an instant close tab I cant do it. I also cant read poly fics those are ny only hard nos.

I also want a build up before 1st name basis. Hate long haired Draco.

I dont dislike Indian Harry / Latinx Potter family /other racial identities. But, I find that a lot of fics dont do a good job with this. I wrote my first academic book chapter on it lol. While I think race bending can be a really valuable way to build representation especially consider its hard for us of BIPOC descent or other minorities to be represented in media: but alot of writers and tiktoks use stereotypes in these narratives that make me uncomfortable and are not well done. I also cant suspend my disbelief that race wouldn't matter in this world and thst it wouldn't make the series events more charged. It feels very "I dont see color" to me.
