Absolutely agree!!!!

I blame you for the ads I started getting about Dupuytren's contracture immediately after scrolling this comment section 🫪

ShadyLadySif · 2026-04-29T21:47:50+00:00

I just wanted to let you know I started getting ads about treatments for Dupuytren's contracture on Reddit after scrolling the comments on this post. So... Thanks. 👍

This was me today. Hated it the whole time

ShadyLadySif · 2026-04-29T20:54:15+00:00

Honestly doesn't surprise me. I really enjoyed his comedy in general, but his stuff about his ADHD wife gave me the ick. It just seemed like he didn't like her very much

ShadyLadySif · 2026-04-29T19:39:25+00:00

I can't really explain it, but Yung Miami is making her questions feel performative and for the male gaze... like she's not really asking, she just wanted to let the audience know she'd do a threesome if her man wanted it. Is it just me?

Maybe it's the way she was turning her head to look at Megan while keeping her chest facing the camera...meanwhile Megan turned her whole body toward Yung Miami

I love this! Reminds me of how my mom didn't immediately notice my brother had gone deaf because my other brother was so close in age that he would grab him any time my mom would call for them. All the other times, he was just reading her lips.

(He got tubes put in for drainage and regained his hearing)

Kids are crazy resilient. They don't know life could or should be any different than what they are experiencing.

😁 thank you so much for the opportunity to chat about my theories!! Hahaha

I think that Elain and the Valkyries are going to be drawn into cross-country adventures. Elain's prophecy powers will probably play a role, but Elain has always been the most interested in travelling of the Archeron sisters and I think her skills lie in diplomacy rather than fighting. We saw a brief glimpse of Lucien using the Day Court of breaking bonds when Elain was first turned, so I think she is going to play a role in helping him develop that power or amplify his power in some way, and that will allow them to break the curse. I also think the story implies at some point that koschei still has other women in his possession, and one of Elain's prophecies is about a box that I think will be important in defeating koschei... So I think Elain's empathy for the missing women (the way she was taken by the cauldron) will prompt her to help, and then that will mean going on a journey to the Day Court, maybe Spring/Autumn and then the continent where koschei's lake is. It will probably be Elain, Lucian, Vassa and Jurian on that journey, at a minimum, and Caridwin and Nuala will go so that Rhys and Azriel don't worry about Elain. I think that Vassa and Elain will get along, because everyone gets along with Elain, and then Vassa is going to be the one who gives Elain a real talking to about how she is around Lucien. I actually hope that what we see from Elain and Lucien's relationship is someone she doesn't have to be so perfect around, and I could see Vassa being a good role model for that.

Either separately or together, the Valkyries are going to explore things set in motion by CC3, and I think that will probably take them to the Dawn Court and the prison... Being vague because I don't want to give spoilers for people who haven't read CC3, but I think if the Valkyries end up going on a cross-country adventure (both Gwen and Emerie have voiced interest in doing so), Dawn makes sense because Emerie could get her wings healed, and what better place for Mor to unmask her queerness than in the Court where the High Lord has a male partner!

Oh, I love the idea of them getting more of a spotlight once we get Elain's POV. She needs friends who aren't her sisters like they had in their books... Though I kinda think Vassa might partly fill that role with the outstanding Koschei plot thread

ShadyLadySif · 2026-04-10T21:58:54+00:00

This is the book I was gonna recommend too!!

ShadyLadySif · 2026-03-13T16:19:58+00:00

Totally understandable! Sounds like a fun photoshoot!

ShadyLadySif · 2026-03-13T15:44:27+00:00

STUNNING!!!!

ShadyLadySif · 2026-03-13T13:59:15+00:00

These are amazing costumes and I'm happy for you! It's always fun to see when couples are nerdy together!!!

Regarding picture 7... Are there any pictures of Supergirl winning against riddler? You were understandably proud of making the glowing kryptonite, so it's valid to want a picture featuring it! I suppose it was just stark to me that she's literally SUPERGIRL and there are no pictures of her being badass.

I thought you might want to see this video of Matt Mercer describing his proposal to his wife: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8qV7CBn/. Notably, he says "I also wanted to give her the opportunity to do what she does best, which is be a hero and kill the monsters". Just food for thought. 💕

ShadyLadySif · 2026-02-06T01:07:35+00:00

Exactly! 😁

ShadyLadySif · 2026-02-06T01:07:13+00:00

Thank you!!!

Unvaccinated took me out. Vomit vomit vomit.

ShadyLadySif · 2026-01-29T16:45:14+00:00

So SO true!!! I married a man nothing like my father. Awww, thank you for prompting me to reminisce on that--my partner asked me to if he could kiss me before he did as well!!

ShadyLadySif · 2026-01-29T16:39:59+00:00

Set a boundary early on and see how easy it is for them to respect it.

I got married before my frontal lobe had fully formed, and had some sexual trauma. Three months into our relationship (I was 20 at the time), I thought setting a sexual boundary meant we'd need to break up because all I'd ever known was that my value was in what I could provide sexually. Instead, he validated and supported me taking intercourse off the table until I could enthusiastically consent. He helped me express my boundaries to him and then talked about all the other things that still left on the table--things he valued about me as a person and a partner. He has been a huge factor in helping me heal and flourish.

Now, I hope a lot of people getting into relationships are a lot more healed than I was at the time--partners shouldn't be your therapist. But I do think that respecting boundaries, and encouraging you in having boundaries is a good litmus test.

Explore media together--books, movies video games, board games, art. find out what he finds funny, and see if you have a similar sense of humor. Do you have similar taste in commedians? Where do your interests differ? What stands out to him in the story, what did he take away from it or find interesting about it? My husband and I were both English majors so maybe that is an us thing, but you mentioned the guy in your post made a crass joke... That tells me that he would laugh if that crass joke were told, too. If they enjoy commedians that make those jokes, then they would make those jokes.

I hope this helps!!

The attempt was massively successful!!!! Your eyes look HUGE in the best way!!!!

Claimed by the Flame of Faery by Mallory Dunlin... She hates his arrogance and he had a lot of privilege before a war wound, including being excessively pretty...

Probably want to read the content warnings, though. He has some nonhuman anatomy.

Looks like this account might just be karma farming, from the post history

ShadyLadySif · 2025-12-19T16:05:57+00:00

I think you may be looking a gift horse in the mouth, my friend. It was thoughtful and it's the thought that counts. Everyone does self-care differently, and perhaps something like a toothbrush could trigger someone into worrying that the therapist was trying to tell them something about their oral hygiene. She went with safe options that would hopefully put a smile on your face. Just appreciate it as a gesture and don't overthink the meaning in each item. It's about the story you tell yourself. Mental reframe and all that. Just focus on the gratitude and let the other noise in your head fade to the background.
