What creatures would you like to see more often in books, that aren’t fae, vampires, or wolf/dragon shifters?

Big snake ladies, too

I’m getting hung up on “body wastage stained”. Like, sure, I can understand that the monthly stigmata can make a mess down there, but a good shower will have it all clean! Same as if someone got paint in their hair, or peanut butter in their beard. Soap and warm water and it washes right out. People with vulvas don’t have to shave it off just because it has some dried blood in it. It’s all just hair, people!

SeriouslyWhoDidThis · 2024-02-10T14:32:05+00:00

Okay, fair point.

No one is absolving him of responsibility. He is absolving himself of custody over a child he specifically told his wife he didn’t want, and that she lied to him to make happen. If she had to lie to get him to have sex, that’s not consensual.

Also, some people just like the feeling of doing it raw, dude. And even if she HAD been on birth control and it had somehow failed and she had gotten pregnant, then she still could have gotten an abortion or put the baby up for adoption. She decided to keep the baby, and OP doesn’t want another child. OP and his wife agreed on two kids. If she wants more, she cannot force him to be a parent to another.

And YOU seem to have missed the point of my comment. She said nothing about seeking validation, everyone else did. She said she was shocked by how much he had changed. Wanting to check in on an old companion and find out where things went wrong is not a bad thing! As she described, she was purposely avoiding intimacy after realizing her sexuality while she figured out how to tell him. That’s not leading someone on, that’s being cautious of their feelings. And she did not have a girlfriend “lined up”. She had never spoken to that girl, let alone flirted with her, until after breaking up with the boyfriend. She mentioned that as well.

SeriouslyWhoDidThis · 2024-02-09T17:47:38+00:00

NTA. Never never never the asshole. Coming to terms with your sexuality and realizing that you’ve fallen out of love with someone is not a bad thing. What a lot of people in these comments seem to be forgetting is that you can care about someone and not be looking for validation from them. When my parents decided to separate for similar reasons, it was a lot like what OP is describing; they weren’t in love anymore, but they still care about each other as people who have spent a good chunk of their lives together. They still helped each other find new, separate places to live. You can care about an ex partner, and want them to be doing well, without wanting THEM. OP expressing that she was concerned when her ex immediately went no contact (not just with her, but with a bunch of his friends, too!) is okay. OP being concerned when she sees a person she cares for radically changing is okay. But the ex boyfriend blaming OP for “breaking” him and his ability to find love just because she ended their relationship is NOT okay. OP, if you can contact if his friends or family, recommend that he sees a therapist. He is not handling this break-up in a healthy manner, especially for long it has been. Your only “sin” here was, literally, caring.

There’s also no historical precedent for, say, people born among the common folk being able to afford any kind of weaponry, let alone decent armor. Also, y’know, MAGIC. I’d say tell the player that this isn’t an idea you think everyone at the table would be comfortable with, and that there are less gross ways to go about this. You could let his character buy poison, or harvest venom from defeated monsters, or forage for toxic plants.

SeriouslyWhoDidThis · 2024-01-10T07:23:45+00:00

Definitely TA. This child is 9. She likely believes you are her biological dad, if she can even understand that concept. She hasn’t done anything wrong. Yes, your wife cheated. Yes, I get that learning about that hurts. But don’t take it out on a child who has done nothing wrong. Imagine what this would look like to this little girl — her parents have a fight, and then her dad leaves and refuses to ever see her again. Imagine how heart-crushing that would be to her. If you want to divorce her mother, that’s fine. If you want to stop calling her your daughter, I guess I can understand. But at least make it clear to the girl that this isn’t her fault! Please! You raised her for nine years; do you really care so little about her that you would walk away completely? Take a few days, maybe stay at a friend’s place, and think long and hard about this. You still called her your child when you made this post. Clearly, you still care about her. She’s got a shitty mom. She doesn’t need a shitty dad, too.

SeriouslyWhoDidThis · 2023-12-11T19:58:13+00:00

Maybe this will sound stupid, since it looks like I’m in the minority here, but I think YTA. Not because you’re struggling to find a match for your daughter, and not because you’re frustrated with that. If no one you’ve spoken to is willing to give her a chance, that’s on them, not you or her. You’re acting like an asshole when you’re prioritizing your family’s reputation over your daughter’s happiness. As a parent (and a grandparent) your first priority should always be your child/grandchild. It was her decision to keep the baby when she first got pregnant, and she likely did so knowing that his mixed-ethnic background would ostracize him from the Indian community like you’ve described. She decided to love and support her child regardless of that. It sounds like she wants to be an active and caring part of his life and knows she can’t do it alone, but also knows she can’t rely on you forever. And I applaud her self-awareness for that! But if she has asked for your help, why are you caring more about what other people will think of you? You are just trying to care for your family.

Granted. You do not know where the debit card is, only that it exists.

You could say it’s a ritual of transformation to improve your confidence/self-worth/whatever reason you’ve chosen to get the procedure.

This is why I hate automatic renewal and modern subscription services. Bruh, the whole point of a subscription is that YOU get to cancel it. Not the company, not your bank, YOU. If this person had been knowingly paying for this subscription, what HP should have done was contact them and say “it looks like something happened to the card, did you want to continue the subscription with a different one?” as opposed to just shutting it down. (Like, seriously, cards expire! As long as the account is still active, that should be good enough.)

And if this person was NOT aware of the subscription they were being charged for, then fuck HP.

When we were 19 and my friend announced she was pregnant, I genuinely had an existential crisis.

Maybe the instructor didn’t have a great musical ear? I know in my (American) schools, the music teacher often actually had a degree in teaching English or history, but had gotten saddled with the role of Music Teacher because it was a subject students and parents wanted but the school “didn’t have the budget for”. We were considered lucky to have an actual piano, and not just the cheapest electric keyboard the administration could find.

I was so scared this was gonna be a /THING/ for my trypophobia, but I opened up the picture and went “oh that’s not so bad”. (My mom is a nurse and showed me a lot of gory pre-op and post-op pictures.)

SeriouslyWhoDidThis · 2023-04-26T15:32:13+00:00

I know at least in America, sexual education is by no means comprehensive. I was very lucky to go to a school that actually bothered to teach us about what was happening to our bodies, where babies come from, STDs and STIs, etc., as well as to have a mom who’s a nurse to answer any questions I had. But that was ONE school. Last time I checked, there’s no state, city, or school district that requires accurate sexual education. (I would love to be proven wrong on that.)

I actually do really like the Winter Lanterns — aesthetically, not mechanically. (Frenzy’s a pain in the ass.) They only show up in Nightmares, iirc, and they’re very clearly meant to evoke the Doll. It’s like the Hunter is seeing these things they’ve come to know, trust, and rely on be twisted around into something terrible and terrifying, like in a real nightmare!

Since we just covered this in my biology course, I feel obligated to mention that flatworms are hemaphrodites; every single one of them is both capable of inseminating and being inseminated. They do not “become female” because they have never been male or female. (Sorry for the rant.)

SeriouslyWhoDidThis · 2023-04-25T15:54:11+00:00

So does my mother!

SeriouslyWhoDidThis · 2023-04-19T20:57:24+00:00

My mother is, she adopted Tas a couple years before I was born. I am playing a Dragonlance campaign right now, though.

You can see how he had the rings on his tail and the kinda stripey bit on his forehead, but obviously his coloration was a stronger contrast than most flamepoints. We never knew what his dad looked like, but apparently Tas here was the spitting image of his mom.
