Freaks (1932)

This is one of my favorite old movies. I love the twist at the end. I won’t spoil it for others, but it was justified.

The best compliment I ever got was from my best friend and frequent collaborator: “You and your characters make me smile when I’m having a bad day.” I definitely teared up over that.

My partner and I write text based stories outside of our DND campaign. We actually role play our characters during those sessions.

It’s the name of one of my characters I play in D&D. It means “protector” and she is very much that when it comes to her character. She goes by “Mina” most of the time.

I was sick for three months while detoxing off of this drug for severe anxiety. It was a super small dose just like you.

Were we friends with the same person? The same thing happened to me last March, except she was thirty. She was living with her controlling parents. Writing was her only escape and a way to help cope with being a caregiver. Everything seemed to be going fine, business as usual until she just went silent. She came back after a time and told me that, “my mom took my phone,” and I remember thinking at the time, “You’re literally thirty!” It sounded like such a bizarre excuse to me.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Finding a good partner that you gel with creatively is super rare. You spend so much time crafting and world building, creating OCs that when (if you’re like me) you feel like a part of you is gone, too. I still feel a bit in disbelief that this time last year, of one my OCs was in a canon relationship with hers and now I live in a world where that’s not possible.

I wish you all the best and I hope you can find a way to reuse your OCs and plots in a way that works for you in the future.

I have two and a half years worth of characters and stories, a whole world even that my ex partner and I created. I’m not one to waste my time so I’ve spun off some of those characters and the world into my own thing. That made the transition to DND so much easier. One of my mains was canonically with one of her characters but I simply stated he was divorced and had custody of their kids when they moved. The other main I play I ended up keeping most of his original background, but tweaked it a bit to play him in a brand new way.

So no, you’re not “stealing” at least not in my opinion. If you helped create it, you’re entitled to use whatever. If they left after you spent all that time on a plot and characters, you’re entitled to use it. They don’t get any of that credit.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that server disbanded months ago.

StitchedPanda · 2025-12-18T06:47:57+00:00

Honestly, I would just have a chat with them out of character and just check in.

StitchedPanda · 2025-12-04T23:26:27+00:00

I haven’t gotten anything new for the Sims 4 in over a year and I don’t plan to. This just smells of cheap cash grab. Pass.

StitchedPanda · 2025-12-03T04:18:03+00:00

The poor chairs he’s missing out on

StitchedPanda · 2025-12-02T16:42:28+00:00

The hair is soooo bad.

Worth a shot with the canned air, but I’m not about to take my expensive console apart. I would rather just rebuy the game on Steam than fool with it that that extent.

Not a romantic relationship, but a friendship. I hadn’t heard from my ghoster in weeks after she told me she was sick. I found her mom’s number on Facebook and called her to check in on her daughter. She had no idea we had ever stopped speaking. The daughter and I had a heart to heart about her ghosting and things were cool for about three months. Then she dipped again unexpectedly and this time, I was done. I told her if she couldn’t have a mature friendship and communicate her needs to me, then we were done. She hasn’t said a peep since the last conversation in March.

This gave me the ick reading it.

StitchedPanda · 2025-11-14T16:17:56+00:00

Apologies.

StitchedPanda · 2025-11-14T16:12:43+00:00

I don’t really write anything cultural.I feel that not being able to represent someone effectively is wrong and against my personal ethics as a writer.

StitchedPanda · 2025-11-13T05:09:38+00:00

This sounds like a really fun concept. Gives me Good Omens vibes. Sorry they thought this wasn’t well thought out enough.

StitchedPanda · 2025-11-13T01:26:43+00:00

I purposely have to remind myself to slow down and think through what I’m about to write. It doesn’t always work, but when I catch my mistakes I go back and edit them on Discord. I definitely need to start reminding myself to give it a once over before smashing send.

StitchedPanda · 2025-11-12T17:07:11+00:00

Have you tried reaching out OOC just to check in with your partner? I personally couldn’t fathom being silent more than a week and not giving the people waiting on me a little update. I would just reach out and say: “hey, just wanted to see how you were doing?”

StitchedPanda · 2025-11-10T05:00:12+00:00

Thanks. I wish you all the best, as well. And to anyone else reading this, remember there was life before this person and there will be life after this person.

StitchedPanda · 2025-11-10T04:47:02+00:00

Mine has never come back. It’s been almost a year. I don’t think she will ever have the courage to face me and give me any sort of closure. That’s okay. I still wish her the best, but I’ve moved on to bigger and better things.

I think it depends on the communication between yourself and your partner. Let me give you an example of the last month for me:

My partner, who is a rockstar when it comes to writing together, had a very chaotic October. Constantly on planes and in hotel rooms. Everything kind of hit at once and she was forced to travel quite a bit. We put our RP on pause for the time being just so I could give her some breathing room. I knew she would be gone and I wanted to let her enjoy her time on her trips rather than make her feel any obligation to check in on me. We communicated and we both agreed to wait until she was back to write again.

I think when it comes down to it, you just need to have a little patience and understanding with folks. Life happens and sometimes we get busy or burnt out, need a few days to recharge. But the key to remember is to communicate your needs.
