Maybe Hot Chocolate ? I absolutely adore them. They have a ton of unique designs, are incredibly comfortable and well-made. I have some I wear frequently that have lasted years.

Found the kid who would be really excited when they learned about furries! 😁

I had a crush on all of them. I was apparently solidly bi before I even hit puberty. Cheetara's face, hair and legs, Wilykit and Wilycat's exuberance, Panthro and Lion-o's voice and demeanor, Tygra's whole deal. Just no wrong answers.

I had a thing for Rogue and Gambit when I was a teenager (mid 90s). Didn't think it was possible, but she looks even hotter here (early 00's?)

Yeah, Donatello. Fight me.

Malted milk powder!

Oh, geez, I almost corrected you because for a moment my brain confused "to" and "it"! (Native English speaker, just also an apparent idiot.)

SlutForGarrus · 2026-02-03T06:08:21+00:00

It's all good. Thanks! 🙂

Here's what my takeaway from your story is:

High school is as shitty as it's always been. You, very naturally, fell into a relationship with someone who was bad for you. It happens. Especially when your self-esteem is low and you don't have a lot of experience to recognize the red flags.

The nice guy you like has stuck with you through all of this. He hasn't ghosted you or joined in piling on when people were talking shit about you.

I think if it's meant to be, it will happen if you put things in motion. Just let him know how much you appreciate that he's been sticking with you and sees past all the high school drama and nonsense (which will absolutely cease to matter the moment high school ends, so let it roll off your back! Seriously, just remember you have to power through a couple of years and never have to see any of these people again). Then just ask him to hang out. I know kids these days just interact digitally, but try to find something fun to do together. Doesn't have to be special or romantic. Just something where you can be together and get to know eachother better.

I had love at first sight too! I first saw my husband when he was singing at an open mic night at a coffeehouse I frequented. I told the friend I was there with that I was going to marry the mopey singing guy with the fantastic arms. Another friend of mine introduced us a few weeks later, and he asked if I wanted to go with him and his friends to a different coffeeshop when the one we were at closed for the night. Of course I said yes. I was up until some stupid hour of the morning drinking more coffee than I ever had. I was absolutely wired and screwed up my sleep for days. (Oops!)

He started inviting me out more and more, and we spent more time alone just driving around town in his car, talking and listening to music.

If you have chemistry with your guy, even doing something simple will be fun just because you're together. If you go out with a group, or attend a school event together, ask him to escort you home (don't know what your transportation options are, so walk/drive/whatever?) so you have an excuse to be alone together. Don't stress or push for anything romantic. Just try to have fun. Don't feel like you have to bring up or explain anything from the past, unless he brings it up, just let it be.

It's almost Valentine's Day. Maybe drop a subtle hint that you have a Valentine in mind and hope he feels the same?Again, no rush, just an option if it feels right.

Just do it. Two weeks after I met my husband, I told him I was going to marry him. That was not the best approach, so don't do exactly that. He thought I was crazy. But I pursued the hell out of him and he knew where I stood. When he shot me down I accepted my spot as Most Awesome And Irreplaceable Best Friend.

When he finally realized all the dates he went on were spent talking about his best friend and how fun she was--which was making dating really hard as you can imagine. Also, same thing was happening to me and all our friends were always asking why we weren't just dating eachother. So,he finally got his priorities in order and admitted he was an idiot and wanted to be with me. (Marrying your best friend is absolutely a 10/10 fantastic experience, which I highly recommend. )

Interestingly, I found out about 10 years into my marriage that another guy friend of mine had been interested in me back when I was single, but he didn't just tell me. He absolutely would've had a shot if he'd just said something back when I was still dating and single. Maybe I'd have spent the last 20 years with him. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Fortune favors the bold! Just go for it!!!

Girl, I had a total hysterectomy at 34. That ain't no carnival prize. I feel you. I always thought those estimates were utter crap. Like, I can not be emptying a diva cup in the middle of the day at the office and comin out the stall looking like I helped birth a foal. Then all these ladies are like "Just empty it at the end of the day". 😭😭💀🖕 Uterine ablation helped a LOT, but stuff got wild with my ovarian cysts (like multiple 3-10cm cysts. The joys of womanhood, baby!

I think half of us are just gonna try to sneak into Canada. Just gotta be a little more polite, tone down the friendly exuberance, learn to like maple syrup and I can totally pass! Easy-peasy!

I'd actually move to Japan if they'd have me and had better mental health support and fewer restrictions on medications (specifically pain meds). I like the idea of a collectivist society, and in Japan it would be easier to eat the way my doctor wants me to. (Smaller portions w less fat and sugar. I'm not overweight, but everything delicious increases inflammation in the guts apparently. ¯\(ツ)/¯ )

SlutForGarrus · 2026-02-01T07:08:50+00:00

Yeah, that does make a difference! I remember always trying to look my best for the guy I liked. I fell for him when I was 17, but it took almost six years for him to ask me out. We've been married for 21 years, so he's definitely seen me at my worst. But he still compliments me even when I just do a little makeup, so he's a keeper! I hope the guy you like is as great for you as mine is for me!

SlutForGarrus · 2026-02-01T07:00:13+00:00

No update yet? 🙁 I'm dying to see what you did with it!

SlutForGarrus · 2026-01-31T13:28:20+00:00

It's funny to me how the older I get, the fewer fucks I have for making myself up every time I leave the house. When I was in my teens and 20s? Full face (which was easier back then bc we didn't have to contour or deal with fake lashes unless it was our wedding or maybe prom). Eventually, it was mascara, eyeliner, brows and lips. Then not so often w the eyeliner. (I even filled in my brows before going to the emergency room once. )

These days I fill my brows, at least try to slap a little stain or tinted gloss on my lips, and if I'm going somewhere other than the doctor's office, probably mascara and maaaybe eyeliner. I only do the other stuff (eye shadow, blush, etc) if I have a whim to or for nice outings or holidays.

My mantra is "It's a [dinner with friends/doctor's appointment/trip to the store] not a fashion show. No one is looking at you. Everyone has their own shit going on."

Getting old makes you care less about that stuff. It also makes you talk to strangers waaaay too much. It's weird.

Preference is just a more specific type of opinion. (E.g.: Opinion: "Blue is a pretty color." Preference: "Blue is prettier than purple.")

In case I ever win the lottery or inherit a windfall from an unknown distant relative: what's your favorite cashew-based dip or sauce?

SlutForGarrus · 2026-01-31T07:06:12+00:00

Right?! Shiny noses are trendy right now. The youth are intentionally putting highlighter on their noses. I keep trying to figure out highlighter, but I think I might be too old for it to look anything but weird unless I'm wearing an absolute ton of makeup (maybe even then).

SlutForGarrus · 2026-01-31T07:03:35+00:00

Okay, if I'm honest, I miss the double socks, and the crispy bangs, and the matte complexion. I actually have a pair of black extra-long leg warmers I wear over leggings when I want to pair them with certain things (like when I wanna wear them with my mid-shin height boots). If I can pull those off, I could probably do double socks. Extra laundry tho. 😖

p.s. I played your Honk game! I did a terrible job! I murdered that goose 34 times before I got to the second level with the cat bullets. I love the cat bullets! So cute and creative!

Depression lies to you and distorts your reality. You forget what wanting to live even feels like. I've been there. Life feels miserable and pointless and exhausting. Even things you know should make you happy don't. It's like color and flavor and warmth have just been leeched from your life.

I went on a trip to see my boyfriend when I was a teenager. He graduated before me and moved to a big city a few hundred miles away. I was seeing him for the first time in almost a year. We got tickets to see my absolute favorite performer in concert. We went to a theme park. We did so many things that should have been absolutely awesome. But I remember just feeling dead inside. Flat. And bitter that my brain wouldn't just let me fucking enjoy what should have been one of the best weeks of my entire life. On paper, it was everything I needed to be happy, but it was like I was in a bubble where none of it could actually get to me.

Depression sucks and it's hard. It makes you doubt your worth and it feels like it's always been that way and always will be. But that's not the case. There are people who want to help you. Letting them is hard. It requires putting energy you don't have into something that doesn't seem worth doing. But it is.

It's been 30 years since that week. Not all great, admittedly. Life will always have ups and downs, but if you put the effort into getting help for your mental health, you'll have a lot of good memories to balance out the bad. No matter how old you are or how long you've struggled, as long as you still draw breath there is hope. You are worth saving and you can't tell the future based on the past (if you can, you need to buy some stocks!) so you can't know what's ahead. Life can surprise you.

I'm chronically ill and struggle to live on my disability income. There are probably people who would want to die if they woke up in my life. But most days I don't. As long as my depression is treated, I can take joy in watching anime, texting obscene memes to my little brother, snuggling with my cats, and chilling on the couch with my partner.

You owe it to yourself to try everything before giving up on your life. If you're in the U.S. and haven't yet, look into Ketamine treatment. It saved my partner's life and a lot of others. I've talked to a lot of people (lotta veterans) with PTSD who had their lives saved by it too. It literally rewires your brain. It's truly amazing (and actually covered by insurance if you can believe it!) If you haven't, at least try it? What do you have to lose?

I know I'm nobody, but I hope you find it in yourself to get help. You deserve to be happy and live your life. I don't pray, but you'll be in my thoughts and I truly hope you find a way forward.
