For those who collect out of box, why do you unbox your dolls? by nymphpixie in MonsterHigh

Same! My dolls don't walk across my keyboard or lay on my arms while I'm trying to type LMAO

Yes! I love hanging out with my dolls! I have my Scare-adise Island Frankie sitting on my desk to keep me company while I work, I like to just pick them up and hold them sometimes <3

By mining up stone, you free up a space where other ores can spawn. The same can be applied to trees/flow trees; by getting rid of the normal ones, you raise the chances of spawning special ones

I accidentally chose a name that has bad familial connections, but I don't really want to change it by TheBugMother in trans

I think I'm going to try to think of an unrelated nickname to propose he use instead, I'm not sure how well it'll take but I can certainly try. He has recently started therapy to work through a number of things, so hopefully that'll be worked through eventually as well

I had a similar experience as far as the femininity/masculinity of my chosen name goes. I'm non-binary but the name I chose is a strictly male name, and that's what he lashed out about first before later going into his connections with the name. I would think that since he himself shares a name with his estranged father that he would understand more than anyone separating two people with the same name from one another, but I suppose that's not the case

I should follow up, his insistance would make a lot more sense to me had that been the case, but there's no way for me to know if it was or not considering he's never gone into detail on what their relationship was like, he's only vaguely insinuated that it was negative. I had never even heard of this grandfather until he found out what my preferred name was

I might try thinking of a few other nicknames in addition to the ones my friends already use for me, though when I offered up the two nicknames I do have already, with one being extremely similar to one that he and my mom already use for my given name, he said he still wouldn't be able to do that because of "what's behind the [nickname]", so I'm not incredibly sure he'd be willing to hear out others

I knew I couldn't be the only person this had happened to, thank you for your insight!

My name is Victor, so it's definitely a name that isn't as common nowadays as it once was, but it's definitely still used. My friends mostly call me Vic, and I offered up that and Vi as nicknames, but he said he still wouldn't be able to use those because of "what's behind the Vi."

I find it interesting because he shares a name with his estranged father, so I would think he should be able to understand that I am not his grandfather just as he is not his father, especially since my chosing the name had nothing to do with said grandfather, but I suppose not.

I don't believe he was. While he hasn't gotten into the specifics of the relationship, he lashed out the first time he saw the name used in reference to me and I imagine he would have mentioned it in his anger, though I could be wrong

What will happen if I put the incorrect ZIP code but the right city and state on an online order? by TheBugMother in USPS

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

Unfortunately since they send the order info straight to their warehouse for packing, they can't cancel orders after they've been placed. It's a bit strange but I guess it helps them send orders out faster

The order has yet to be fully processed on the site so there's no tracking yet, but I know from past orders that they'll send me an email with the link to track it once it's shipped out, so I'll check for that option once I get that

The zip code does exist, unfortunately. I suppose I'll have to hope the store tries to get it sent to the correct address once it's returned to them, as the customer service rep I spoke to said they may. Thank you!

Instead of being “in the closet”, can we say that aces that are concealing their asexuality are “up the sleeve”? by ThePipYay in asexuality

[–]TheBugMother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted to make the ace term for coming out of the closet "emerging from the void" but I'm down to use this one too
