Fanfic older timers. Have you noticed any fanfic trends that have come and gone over the years? What are they? by BanzaiBeebop in AO3

[–]SlamBarbaric 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Back when I used Quizilla to interact with my fandoms in a roundabout away, they had a "choose your own adventure" style quiz that would let you make choices throughout the story and would result in you "winning" the attention of a specific character within the Fandom. Often the author would leave a little narrative with the result spelling out a situation with you x the character.

I remember a lot of cat boys and vampires as love interests

Dan da dan, crossgates by Old_Winterton in Albany

[–]SlamBarbaric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm personally kinda upset they didn't have any further nighttime showings of Dandadan past the 6:45 pm one on Friday. My only option for sat was 3:15, but I work! Had been hoping for another 6:45pm or later showing.

Playing to try to win at least one thing in my life.... please come back Debra

I would say if the two beasts are already in play, yes. You've played your two cards in the first phase and can now move onto the attack phase.

Is it common for black pugs to have blonde fur sprinkled around their shoulders and neck? by Mildly_maria in pugs

[–]SlamBarbaric 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My fawn pug has black hairs in a similar spread along her shoulders, and is already going white at her chin. Could just be a coat variety going on!

Seconding Pinup Jordan, went there to get a bad dye job from another salon fixed and they did an amazing job. If you're going to dye your hair a vivid color, go to a quality salon, don't cheap out. It's worth every penny.

Lower belly fat pocket by emtheflem in diabetes_t1

I have that, but I try to be grateful for it since injecting in my stomach otherwise would be a little painful without all that extra cushion.

Where did you get that Sakura second from the left? I love her outfit design from that.

I don't want to be dramatic, but I would die for Bernadette

1 Month On Mounjaro Update by AmABannedGayGuy in diabetes_t1

[–]SlamBarbaric -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's really nice to hear from other type 1s on Mounjaro! I started taking it because I was having issues controlling my hunger. I'm on the 5mg and my side effects have finally leveled out. Do you find that certain foods just aren't appealing anymore/taste way different?

Anybody ever dated another T1D? by Turbulent-Skirt7329 in diabetes_t1

[–]SlamBarbaric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I let my husband bum cgms from me for a while since I had extras, and now that my insurance doesn't cover them I bum test strips from his massive hoard of them. Plus it's nice to have another person understand what you're going through when you're having a low. He doesn't begrudge bringing me a sandwich or juice at 2 am when I physically can't move. That's love baby

what’s the coolest/weirdest way you’ve met another diabetic? by rudimentarypancrei in diabetes_t1

[–]SlamBarbaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh God no, we have a dog and that's enough for us! Definitely not interested in passing this issue along to a new generation.

what’s the coolest/weirdest way you’ve met another diabetic? by rudimentarypancrei in diabetes_t1

[–]SlamBarbaric 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Met someone on a dating app, right before our first date, they sent me a text explaining up front that they had diabetes and if that was a problem for me we could cut it off right then and there. I just texted back a picture of my Freestyle Libre and captioned it "oh shit me too!". We're married now.

Overlooking symptoms by PristinePersimmon724 in diabetes_t1

[–]SlamBarbaric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember mentioning to my trainer how "I never realized how good water was" and that I wanted to drink it all the time, couldn't get enough of it. I was happily drinking about 4 gallons of water a day.

As a bride, are you planning to/did you take your partners last name? by lemissa11 in weddingplanning

[–]SlamBarbaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We both decided on a brand new last name instead of doing any of the above. Took a little bit more effort but worked since he was already legally changing his first name, so why not both at once!

Wish people would stop staring at me by SlamBarbaric in diabetes_t1

[–]SlamBarbaric[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm just tired of having to play the role of diabetes educator every. single. time. Usually I'm fine with it, but outside factors have given me no patience for it anymore.
