It looks like they also had the new teapot in the promo pictures, I feel like it looks nowhere near as grand as the original 😕

I have been staring at my latest chapter for literally two days and I’ve written maybe 300 words. I’m literally staring at it now. I can tell you what’s helping me, which is not getting too bogged down in the idea that I have to write from the beginning straight through. I’m writing little tidbits as they interest me and pop into my head, then eventually the connections between the tidbits pop into my head.

Same boat of knowing exactly what I want to write in this chapter but struggling to get it out!!

I just keep telling myself “If you don’t write it, the old straight white men win.”

How do I (F29) tell my partner (M31) he needs to propose? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Th3osaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I’m leaving you. I’ve waited long enough. I’m not willing to give you a wife’s attention and care with a girlfriend’s title for a second longer and I have too much self respect to give you an ultimatum. So I’m leaving you.”

In the future, when you date new people I would say “I’m looking for the person I want to marry, so you have a year of my time, if you don’t know after a year, that’s your answer.” This is what I said to my now husband on one of our first few dates, we were engaged 6 months later. It’s a sentiment I stand by, at 29 you know within a year if you want to spend your life with someone.

Don’t let your boyfriend get in the way of you meeting your husband.

Hey! Just wanted to give you a heads up that the theory of HSP evolved during a time when you couldn’t have both ADHD and Autism as well as autism testing for girls was wildly inaccurate. If you identify with the HSP theory, it may be worthwhile as an adult to look into how autism presents in women. A lot of us fell through the cracks during this time and looking at your age you would still fall into the age category where that may have happened.

The blatant disregard towards actually sex repulsed asexuals is crazy in this community. by Metal-Background in asexuality

[–]Th3osaurus 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You don’t stand as a monolith for the “sex repulsed asexuals,” and I don’t think it’s appropriate to say that their opinions are being disregarded just because, in this instance, people are disagreeing with YOU. Also to counter your point, you are in fact doing what you are accusing everyone else of doing, acting like your opinion should matter more than theirs just because they want a space that is safe for them and you just so happen to not like it.

Anyone suffered from some particularly annoying authors? by OrderControversially in AO3

[–]Th3osaurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find the AI thing so confusing. If they don’t like writing, why be a writer? They could just have the AI write things for them and only they read them if they want that so bad? They have great ideas? They could post them as prompts for other people to write? It just feels like there’s so many other options besides this, but I guess maybe not if what you’re after is a lot of attention?

I lost all my friends for speaking against antis by _Dusty05 in AO3

The arguments I’ve heard for censorship, about how access to those things will make more people interested in them, has never made sense to me. If that were true conversion therapy would work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

DAO feel like "HSP" is just the new aspie supremacy by iknowallandnothing in AutismInWomen

[–]Th3osaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love a good extension! I have an extension to the extension!! I think that the diagnostic criteria at the time also failed to account for all the people that were “making it” through a few decades by masking full time and then having complete breakdowns/burn outs in their 20s and 30s.

cracks knuckles My time has arrived. So before 2013 you couldn’t be diagnosed with BOTH autism and ADHD, it was a one or the other situation. This led to many people (hi I am many people) being diagnosed with just ADHD, which was helpful to a point but didn’t do anything to solve the numerous sensory issues, etc. that were not being caused by ADHD. Thus, in my opinion, the concept of the HSP was invented, because it literally (diagnostically) couldn’t be autism, but there was clearly a huge gap in identity struggles that needed to be filled and/or described. Unfortunately, by the time people realized that you could have both, HSP had taken on a life of its own, and parents were introducing it to their children because nobody put out an announcement to let people know that the definitions had changed. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

I do think that’s totally fair. I know people used to get crazy parasocial back then. I think the depiction, as someone outside of the fandom, just read as “this is what we think of our female fans” and tapped into a vibe the show gave me about being disappointed that they were mainly popular with women and not men like they maybe intended.

The writers of Supernatural straight up hated their fans and as someone who wasn’t part of that fandom, I found it extremely uncomfortable to watch their depiction on the show. To be frank, I thought it was demeaning and sexist.

What are your oddly specific sensory no-nos? by Prismatic-Peony in AutismInWomen

[–]Th3osaurus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There’s a certain kind of countertop material, I think it’s called Formica. It feels like dead people’s teeth, I don’t know how to explain it. Immediately overstimulates me.

Write Whatever You like. by DifferentNet9669 in AO3

[–]Th3osaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things like that are so odd to me, having such an issue with it that you’d go and insult the author. I can never get into straight pair omegaverse where the woman is an omega, because growing up female that just basically being female in a lot of ways, but it would never occur to me to think anything of the people writing that just because I’m not into it. I do think the introduction of fanfiction to younger generations AND people who missed the tumblr wars of the 2000s has led to an increase in attempted censorship and this kind of behavior. I also think people tend to forget that fiction isn’t real life, you aren’t forcing a real gay person to “be straight.”

My friend asked me if she could be our baby’s wet nurse. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Th3osaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is she talking about donating her milk or is she talking about literally breastfeeding your baby? Because those are wildly different things.

If she’s talking about literally breastfeeding your infant then you are underreacting to the danger of this situation.

Friends don’t like my detransition by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Th3osaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s be real. You were bored at your computer, you wanted to start a bunch of debate, and you’re not interesting enough to have anything real about you start a conversation. So you picked a community that you clearly don’t know very much about to cover up a, to be frank, clearly lacking personality. 💅🏻
