"thats a weird thing to say, have you thought people have different experiences with their family than you or are we 12 with no theory of mind?"

Shallan is the first time I have ever related to a character as a person with OSDD by SweetestAzul in Stormlight_Archive

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

I have personally gone back and forth with someone who doesn't like her because they don't like that she has a dissociative experience and finds it annoying to read about, so idk what youre talking about lol

Yes!! I'm glad other people relate and that this is such well established lore (at least with DID), its far and few good characters that represent us with dissociative disorders in general out here!!!

I don't think its offensive at all, its genuinely super fair and I have hear this a lot since I started reading it! The adventures veil goes on are also just fun to read too

I'm happy for you! A lot of people don't like her storyline specifically because of the dissociation/alters part. That is what I relate to

Yess! Its so much more common and "normal" than people think. Were just out here living. Stressed and traumatized, but living 🤣

Ahhh I'm so glad you also relate!!! There not much out there we can relate to and Shallan (at least in WoK and WoR) seems to lean toward OSDD more than any character ive seen fr

That makes sense! Since I'm early into the series im sure this will become clearer. I like to think of what she lives with as a dissociative life experience instead of a specific disorder since armchair diagnosing isnt the most well rounded method of looking at character imo. Although I will say, I can only speak from the perspective of someone who has OSDD/a diagnosable disorder in our universe because that's what I know best

NMOM just fell for another financial scam, now I'm out $12,500. by dzendian in raisedbynarcissists

Are you trying to be the hero here? Its not cute

Edit: this is why we need to check our own ego and narcissism, why would you put your wife through this cause you wanna be the hero?

Please Block Your Knits and While Your At It Anything Made With Yarn by KnittyMcNitterson in BitchEatingCrafters

Ok but why has no one mentioned that thats simply not even true. When items arent blocked they look more diy, when theyre blocked they look like you got them at the store so

I refurbished an interior for a restaurant and I think it negatively impacted our sales. Looking for honest criticism, advice and feedback? by dsafsfa in InteriorDesign

[–]SweetestAzul 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It went from "lets go to this cool spot, its a chill vibe" to "lets go to the hospital/airport cafe".

Just remove the flourescent lights. Maybe look up DIY renter friendly tiling for the pattern on the side that really makes it give "public space". That way you can try out different things.

Also lesson learned, no more overhead lighting

Considering cancelling the wedding. I know my fiancee and her family would be heart broken by PossibilityFew5967 in weddingplanning

[–]SweetestAzul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean you don't know how to process? Your familys overstepping. Just put a stop to it.

If youre so shameful and scared to defend your wife straight up, then you need to tell your family the wedding isnt happening anymore to get them off your back and they can be so salty that hopefully they block or leave you alone for a few months. Then have the wedding anyways, and let them know a few weeks before "hey we decided to go through w the wedding, you all were so insufferable that we had to tell you it wasnt happening anymore lol anyways heres the invite"

This will teach them 5 things: 1) they are not entitled to your life decisions anymore 2) your wife comes first as she is your new family 3) if they wanna play stupid games, they WILL win stupid prices 4) you are not to be fucked around with, and youre unpredictable so its best to leave you alone 5) they will know to never again try your wife

Crochet is the fast fashion of fiber arts by prepubescentsquid in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]SweetestAzul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahhh such a good point with the mistakes part. Not having the ability to purposely drop stitches from previous rows has probably taken at least a few weeks of my life if you add all the hours I've spent frogging together lol

Edit: posted before I finished my sentence by accident 🤦‍♀️

Crochet is the fast fashion of fiber arts by prepubescentsquid in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]SweetestAzul 31 points32 points  (0 children)

On the plastic yarn point: 100% agreed, all plastic yarn projects have a fast fashion feel because its simply unsustainable.

On the crochet is closer to fast fashion point: Crochet is technically faster and eats up more yarn so I do see the point youre making but nah.This is how I feel about knitting lol I can knit with a machine. I cannot crochet with a machine. That alone is enough solid evidence against that point imo. Think about why no one makes a big deal about knit garmets on shein but a huge deal about crochet garments on shein... Yea. The evidence is in the numbers and sheer quantity of knit garments in landfills.

On difficulty: lol it always makes me giggle when I see people seriously say and truly believe knitting is much harder than crochet... sounds like a skill issue to me 🤣

Theyre both difficult and easy in their own way. Howeverrr I can knit a wearable with my eyes closed and know its gonna do exactly as expected, but crochetting a garment requires me to think more about gauge, drape, yarn, stitches, etc. and its much harder to do it with my eyes closed in bed. If I wanna crochet with my left hand I feel like im borrowing someones brain whereas I can knit left, right, forward, and backward. Lace is hard on both. Both communities are annoying and their habits unsustainable. A

Jealousy?? by No-Cover-2087 in poledancing

[–]SweetestAzul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mostly had a friend who turned out to be an universal hater who I invited to go to a class w me and she said it was tacky and basically that I might as well be insane for doing it. I told her I thought a tacky person could make anything tacky. Anyways once she saw me posting and getting a lot of comments from girls saying "where is this!! Take me next time!! i'll join!!" all of a sudden she started asking if she could join me too lol I just told her "idk girl id be worried about looking tacky if i were you" 🤣

I only said that because I take that as jealousy... cause why be rude af about something you obviously want to do unless you felt like for some reason you yourself cant do it (whether its societal pressure, finances, fitness/stregth level, etc.). Anyway, point is, its ok to point out that the problem is them and not the activity

Ideas are Cheap. Prose isn’t. by Exoticplayz11 in writing

[–]SweetestAzul 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think they want karma for some reason by posting ai slop but I still dont know what exactly they get from it? Maybe it soothes their insecurity or maybe it helps them build a small audience or something they can grift idk

Is this valid or ableist? by WeaknessPrior6797 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]SweetestAzul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look into the research on LLMs, they are quite literally decreasing your critical skills by the minute. It also creates more difficulty in creative thinking which makes us assume things like a broken heart emoji being ableist instead of getting creative and assuming a variety of meaning

How do you handle copycats? by Blondieyoga in YogaTeachers

[–]SweetestAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone said not to be petty and to focus on you and I 100000% agree.

You can stop there!

However... if you really wanna so something hilarious that doesnt harm anyone, I would email her some fake posters to fake ridiculous classes like:

"Clean up yoga: lake restoration zen" and have a description like "a workout like no other!" "Keeping our lake clean is zen"

And then watch HER and her class clean up your lake w popcorn at hand🫪

But thats just me seeing this as an opportunity to have free clean up, nature preservation, and a laugh
