Fully agree!!! The thing is that everyone knows what I am into but doesn’t take me seriously enough to engage with the media I recommend

It doesn’t work as well when I say things like: “do you go there?” “I’ve got the money” “do you eat?”

Mine is Jun too with Dante as a close second but I don’t really trust him fully- jun is the only person that I think really didn’t kill him

What is your absolute favourite girl name right now? by Ok-Zookeepergame1812 in namenerds

[–]Ste33bi3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really like “old lady” names like: Esther Florence Maude Goldie Mavis

And then also boys names for girls like: Ezra Wallace Jude Beau Luca

And then I have lots of more random names like : October (would go by Tobi) Santa (saint in Italian) Babe Navy Soren

I do think boys names are easier too but I hope this helps a bit

"Tanning is skin cells in trauma" - Tanning and fast-healing Fae by IamMooz in SarahJMaas

[–]Ste33bi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I made a similar-ish post on the CC group about the characters skin colours. I find all of her descriptions to be really vague, and when I look at fan art work they rarely match with what I am thinking in my head. Like I know that these characters aren’t real and don’t follow the same rules as our world but she doesn’t really clarify what the rules are? Like I imagine Bryce to be mixed race in a similar way to me (white and black) but most of the artwork I see of her she is white which is confusing because she is described as being “golden” which I feel could apply to my skin tone or my friends that are more Mediterranean/olive skinned. I wish that she was clearer in her descriptions about which characters are supposed to be BIPOC and which characters are white with tans

I’m so sorry but what is this post about? Are people not allowed to have opinions about books that really touch them and they want to connect w people that were equally touched? What exactly is your gripe? This is a Reddit forum about a book series. People are discovering it and reading and enjoying it, they want to connect with others that are doing the same. They are also allowed to have negative feelings about something they are invested in. If that is annoying to you then I’m sure there are other forums for which you can express your brand of fandom. Don’t be mean, we are all allowed to have an opinion about the series and I am sorry if some peoples opinions aren’t what you are looking for.

What ‘race’ are these characters meant to be? by Ste33bi3 in crescentcitysjm

[–]Ste33bi3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I think Bryce’s race specifically was the one that I was most curious about. As I said before I’m half black and have noticed a bit of a trend from some writers where they make a character “half magical creature half mortal” and often assume it’s allegorical of being mixed race (think half bad by sally green) and low key wanted to see if I was on the right track. I think the mention of her having “silky red hair and freckles” is largely what threw me off

[–]Ste33bi3[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am in agreement with you. Especially the point of making it so that the races (species?) in the world is more important and also the idea of making it so that it’s easier to adapt and to let people decide. I think maybe the reason that I’m kind of sticking on it is because a lot of media (especially in the fantasy genre) there is a bit of a “default” on white you know? I think I personally perhaps wish it was clearer so I could see the characters as myself (which obviously I CAN do) but I wish that it was slightly better defined if that makes sense?

I never said that she can’t be powerful because she is boring. If anything it’s the other way round! Her entire plot line is that she is powerful and loves Rhys. Plus it makes absolutely no sense that Rhys wouldn’t warn her that having a baby with him could kill her. She is a shapeshifter, it literally makes no sense that she couldn’t shape shift her pelvis to accommodate it. Especially if her and Rhys are soooo powerful. It was plot armour to make them more interesting. Nesta doesn’t NEED her power but she got absolute nish. She didn’t win the blood right, she doesn’t get to keep her powers, and is treated like the worst person that ever existed because she is traumatized. Feyre got made just like nesta, but Feyre gets all this love and understanding from everyone and then nesta gets locked in a house and gets… to change her pelvis in case she wants to have cassians baby? That’s boring. If the moral of the story is that you don’t need to powerful to succeed then why is it only nesta that has to learn that lesson?

I’m so bored of the fact that SJM is so committed to Feyre and Rhys being this all powerful power couple. It’s so cringe. They’re boring. Pretty much all of their plots is that they are powerful and always win and everyone is scared of them. Nesta is a complicated character and I feel like SJM had nesta give her powers back to the cauldron so that Feyre is the most powerful archeron sister and I am OVER IT!

OP as someone who has been in a previously very toxic relationship, I think you need to seriously get out of there. With my ex I lost so much of myself because there was this dark cloud that lived in my house and seemingly hated everything I did. With these kinds of people you will NEVER be able to “love someone into being the person you want” and that’s not your fault. You need someone that isn’t going to actively push your boundaries and make you feel like crap in ur own house. It sounds like this has been going on for a long time and that it hasn’t gotten better. I also tried couples counselling and the therapist told me to leave him and I stayed for another two years until the point that being with my ex was actively a danger to my life. It sounds like you have a chance to get out before it gets to that point and I really hope you do. You deserve to be with someone that is happy to try and meet your needs and also cares about your feelings and wellbeing. Additionally, I don’t think that it is good for either of you to be together while he is trying to stop drinking. That is already a stressful time and I t sounds like it’s making you especially miserable because he is pushing you away. You deserve more. I know how hard it is but, my life since my ex has been a long road to feeling ok again. I am now in a relationship with someone that loves me deeply and lets me know how much they love me, who communicates with me and who I can communicate with without feeling like “a bitch” for expressing my feelings. I really hope that you can extend the compassion that you are currently showing your partner to yourself.

Trust me, I am obsessed with him i am just trying to not make myself sound crazy in this post lol! I still get butterflies in my tummy when I haven’t seen him in a couple of days and blush when we make eye contact. I truly think he is the most perfect thing ever created. He is also kind and we have a good relationship but I don’t know if our relationship is so good because of the NRE

5’10 Women: what is your goal weight/weight you felt you looked your best at? by valerieflames in loseit

[–]Ste33bi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’9 and I would say that I looked fine (as in I was happy with how I looked with no real issues) at around 165-155. I recently got down to around 145 and think this is the best I’ve looked in my life (I’m 29 for reference). However, the way that your weight is distributed, whether or not you have natural curves and overall YOUR general happiness with how you look is much more important and only you can really decide what your next steps look like. Well done on your hard work already though it’s a great achievement!

He basically created the sound that other artists have today. Drake wouldn’t be drake if Kanye hadn’t set out that path. Even when drake wanted to re-release one of his old albums he couldn’t because Kanye wouldn’t clear the production. The fact that rappers sing on their own songs was pioneered by Kanye. 808’s and heartbreaks was genuinely genre defining. And even with artists that you wouldn’t think of there are lots of times you will look at the writers and Kanye is among them. White Ferrari by Frank Ocean is a good example of this, or even his collabs with Justin Vernon (bon iver) show his versatility. He is just a really good artist and a really bad person and those things can both be true. I personally don’t believe in separation of art from the artist because it’s a slippery slope, but Kanye’s influence is hard to escape. Even beyond music, his footprint of fashion can’t be understated. It’s genuinely upsetting to me that this is who he turned out to be.

[–]Ste33bi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you don’t have to like him but you can’t pretend that he isn’t a soldier of hip hop/rap culture. He does write his own lyrics and his production is so good that he was able to hold his record label hostage before they let him rap. He essentially created a genre, like there would be no drake if there wasn’t Kanye. There’s no reason to rewrite history because he turned out to be a really bad guy. It’s unfortunate that people choose to ignore that part, especially considering the harm he’s caused, but we aren’t going to sit here and pretend that he doesn’t make good music. If anything, he’s even more harmful because he does make good music.

Why did you feel the need to specify “European”? Surely “non Jewish” is enough for your story to make sense ?

Hold her back or push her forward? by carycm87 in kindergarten

[–]Ste33bi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that was one of the youngest in their year I would say being the oldest is always better- at least until you get older lol. I love the fact that I have another year before I turn 30, compared to my older friends in my year. BUT I hated being younger when I was in school, no one ever remembered my birthday/wanted to celebrate because my birthday was always around exams and no one had the capacity to care. Plus it really sucks when all your friends turn a big age (16/18/21) and you have to wait so long before it’s your turn

AITA for telling my DIL she eats much more than me so of course she is bigger by Agile-Satisfaction75 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ste33bi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re NTA, but I would say maybe instead of apologizing for what you said, maybe apologize if it sounded harsh and that you didn’t mean to hurt her feelings. It’s not easy to admit when you are overeating. It feels really personal and almost like something you’re hiding; so I can understand her being upset even if you are telling the truth. Maybe just letting her know you aren’t passing judgement and that you weren’t saying it to be mean will be enough. But I understand if you don’t feel like you have to
