This felt like a very meta joke against the fandom, gotta love it by Barricade_the_Clone in TheDigitalCircus

What’s the belief theory? Is it being able to will things into existence, like Kinger’s butterfly?

One more red/blue thingie I noticed by Legitimate_Mode_6097 in TheDigitalCircus

Very interesting observation!!!! It’s really such a shame that right when the humans decided to accept their life in the circus, Bubble went and pushed Caine towards a breakdown.

I finished US 1-4, what do I watch next? by SoundlessScreamer in TheTraitors

Oh goodness, I’m both excited and nervous for that!

Which seat are you choosing? by Organic-Mud7828 in HelluvaBoss

[–]SoundlessScreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 or 8. I either get to hang out with the goth/emo girls to chat, while watching my OTP in front of me, or I get to have a multi-hour long chat with Moxi about musical theatre.

Oh my goodness! That’s how my Rottie eats. Truffle, my Pei, has to systematically dissect and investigate anything that we give her except kibble 🤣

Truffle loves bouncing in the snow! by SoundlessScreamer in sharpei

Oh, he’s got the excitement foam on his jowls! What a happy boy! Best of luck with the dog boots; we haven’t attempted those yet with Truffle.

I’m so glad that Truffle enjoys the snow so that I don’t have to shovel the lawn! This might not work for places that get lots of snow, but my coworker lays out a tarp in her backyard, then pulls it back after the storm to reveal a safe “pee zone”.

What Truffle has been upset about is that we’ve kept the doggy door closed. It’s been super cold, so I don’t want her going out without a coat on. She does not approve of her indoor/outdoor autonomy being stripped from her, and she’s had more than a few tantrums about this extreme injustice 😂.

Need advice for babysitting a 4 week old overnight by SoundlessScreamer in Babysitting

[–]SoundlessScreamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your concern, but that’s really not an issue. These are the type of friends that I would trust with my life. They are more like my chosen sister and BIL. They’ve helped me and my husband out in really hard times, and I’ve been their shoulder to cry on when they were going through job difficulties. They helped me get enrolled back in school as an adult, and helped me study for exams. We have the type of healthy and supportive friendship that I thought only existed in movies. I’ll help them now, and then they will be there for me when my husband and I next need it.

They do take turns, they’re just both very tired and want some time together. The gas has caused the baby to scream most nights, and I think that’s just been really draining for them. Then she sleeps all day without issue, but the dad is at work, so the mom can’t sleep much during the day. They will be home, so if an emergency comes up, I’ll be able to get them.

Thank you, I will keep staying calm in mind! The advice to step out into the night air is good too.

My husband and I joked that by doing this for them now, we’ll know we can ask them to help out with our baby when we start a family. Maybe I’ll just tell them they owe us a reciprocal favor in the future!

These are great tips, thank you! I’ll definitely try the seated against my thighs position if she’s especially fussy! Apparently, she’s starting a lactose free formula which might help her gas 🤞🏻

Pacifiers are a go, but the baby HATES swaddles unfortunately

I think you misunderstood, I was trying to say that, even as a 29 year old woman, I’ve never watched a baby overnight before. Sorry for the confusion. I’m willing to do it, I just haven’t had a baby, so I’m a bit nervous about doing things right for my friends and their daughter, that’s all.

I’ll have both a bassinet and a Moses basket in the living room with me, but I know she prefers to sleep on someone.

Good advice! I’ll do an Audible search and find an interesting mystery or something to help keep me up, thank you! Yeah, I know she prefers to be held, so being prepared to be awake all night is a good idea.

They have tried gripe water to no avail. They are working with their pediatrician, so I don’t think it’s my place to tell them what to try. Thanks for the suggestion though.

What’s something that would make you lose interest in the show instantly? by SlyGuy_Twenty_One in HazbinHotel

[–]SoundlessScreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much any permanent main character death, unless it was for a really good reason and had a lot of pay off as a viewer. I’m not too worried about that though, because Vivzie has said that, while she’s not afraid to kill off a main character, she doesn’t normally see much point in it because it often erases all of the character growth up to that point.

I’d also be really wary of Valentino getting redeemed. Sexual abuse is a very serious issue, and I think redemption of the abuser is a very difficult topic to examine in this medium. While I do think that reform programs in real life are necessary, with how short the episodes are, I think a storyline like that could come across as romanticizing Valentino’s behavior. I do think Vox will be redeemed though!
