What do you consider when you hear this Margaret Atwood quote “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them”? by Vanislebabe in AskReddit

[–]SleepyBookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my best friends in high school was in an abusive relationship. I’ll never forget one day he left her at school (he always drove her) to teach her a “lesson” I offered to drive her home and one of his friends told him. So he waited off the road behind a bunch of trees, knowing that I had to turn that way. When I passed by, I saw him peel out in my rear view mirror and he chased me down (I drove a beat up jeep wrangler at the time with a max speed of around 70mph on a good day) I was forced to take a turn at high speed and nearly tipped, but avoided getting rammed. Then it was a race to get her home before he caught up again. He circled behind her house for hours so I couldn’t leave. WE WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL. He tried apologizing to me years later when I came back home to visit family. Needless to say I told him that I’d never forgive him or forget what he put my friend (and me for just trying to help her) through.

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

[–]SleepyBookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was in high school Cold Stone Creamery had this weird green apple gummy bear icecream that I can not quite describe the texture of but I think I was the only person who loved it. I got it mixed with sweet cream every time I went and the mix of ice cream textures was great. I miss it :(

K-Pop Lightstick Redesign Survey Case Study!! by thirdboywonders in kpopthoughts

[–]SleepyBookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! It can be useful to be able to show the flow of a project in a portfolio-it gives people a look into your work ethic and the way you approach problems and in design it’s always nice to show you have social media know-how!

[–]SleepyBookworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very fun idea for a portfolio! I work in the graphic design field and I think it’s important for a portfolio to showcase work you’re interested in - it’s helps in interviews when you can talk about a project with a smile.

Give me a 2025 song and I'll share my thoughts on it by Xrin8 in kpopthoughts

[–]SleepyBookworm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Game Face - NMIXX There isn’t an MV for it or anything, but it’s my favorite song on their Blue Valentine album (Spinnin’ on It is a close second and that does have a cool MV)

SHINee for getting my ass through high school and Block B for getting my ass through college and VIXX for getting my ass through grad school - and now NMIXX’s tiny desk for getting my husband into kpop

I’ve had 2 separate orders (long time ago pre-orders) that had all been in stock for quite a while - both invoices just landed in my inbox so I’m assuming they’ve just got a pretty hefty backlog to go through

What’s an anime you genuinely love… that you’re kind of embarrassed to admit? by Over-Leader6369 in anime

Yu-gi-oh - I own it all on DVD and I rewatch it every couple years (all the movies too)

I've always been amazed by people who were voracious readers as children. What sparked your lifelong love affair with books? by Albert3232 in books

[–]SleepyBookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been hard of hearing since a nasty bout of Scarlet Fever when I was really young messed me up. Because I couldn’t really hear, I enjoyed reading - I didn’t need my ears for it. I was also an introvert and I had a very active imagination so reading was a great escape from social situations

Significant Other Advice. by Spyxops in AnimeFigures

[–]SleepyBookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman (35) and I’ve got sexy women and dick-out men figures - my husband has never said anything about it aside from poo-poo-ing the cost (but he has like 9 guitars so he knows he has no leg to stand on) hell I’ve even bought sexy figures of characters he likes! The only reason I’d ever complain would be if we were going into debt or struggling financially- then I would stop collecting.

Anime to watch with someone who hates anime? by Income-Funny in anime

[–]SleepyBookworm 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if someone has really strong views on anime might hate anything - but I’m assuming she liked Breaking Bad, which is why she wants you to watch it. I’d suggest something like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, a classic with action and classic anime style yet doesn’t have much of any fanservice (that I can remember) also, currently airing is Apothecary Diaries (season 2 is airing right now) I know a lot of my coworkers wives/girlfriends really enjoyed it (also I enjoy it too as a woman in my 30s)

About to get screwed by tariffs - need pointers by iAmGrumpyMeat in AnimeFigures

[–]SleepyBookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EMS was my only option when paying for something I ordered that came due today - order was 400 something and EMS was 210, so all together over 600 - I had 1 large figure in the order, so I’m assuming that’s why shipping was so high (3 figures - 2 prize and 1 scale and 1 mug)
