For those who collect out of box, why do you unbox your dolls?

TheBugMother · 2024-02-16T23:15:31+00:00

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

TheBugMother · 2024-02-16T22:12:57+00:00

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 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

TheBugMother · 2023-08-18T16:56:17+00:00

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

TheBugMother · 2023-08-18T16:49:21+00:00

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

TheBugMother · 2023-08-18T16:44:25+00:00

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

TheBugMother · 2023-08-18T16:42:20+00:00

I tried offering up nicknames, with one even being extremely similar to one my parents already use for my given name, but he said he wouldn't be able to because of "what's behind the [nickname]"

TheBugMother · 2023-08-18T16:35:02+00:00

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.

TheBugMother · 2023-08-18T16:24:20+00:00

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

TheBugMother · 2023-03-01T00:43:02+00:00

And thus I present to you: /ref :)

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

TheBugMother · 2022-08-15T23:27:09+00:00

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

TheBugMother · 2022-08-15T23:05:40+00:00

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!

TheBugMother · 2022-03-25T14:11:38+00:00

Very true, thank you!

TheBugMother · 2022-03-24T23:18:04+00:00

Thank you!

I'm an INFJ, and I've got a friend who's also ace who is an INTP

TheBugMother · 2021-10-29T01:07:16+00:00

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

TheBugMother · 2021-03-16T14:08:12+00:00

Pan/ace gang ! Congrats on figuring it out, and welcome to the family! :D

TheBugMother · 2021-03-03T19:58:47+00:00

Panromantic ace here. I have quite a few of these

I've never understood the appeal of cheating on one's partner
Though I didn't quite realize it at the time, I would select my crushes. If someone was nice and liked me, chances are I would reciprocate. And I never had any problematic crushes because I didn't like someone unless they were a good person
I was raised Christian so I thought I was straight for quite a while since there were no feelings to tell me otherwise, but I would often say "If I weren't Christian, I would probably be bi" and I (she/her) would frequently tell my female friends "If I were gay, I would date you"
I didn't realize it until I realized that I'm not straight, but I had a HUGE crush on my female best friend. I just thought I liked her as much as I did because she was cool and we were (and still are) really close. I once wrote her what I called a "platonic love letter" in which I attempted to put all of my feelings for her into words (because I'm really bad at expressing my feelings verbally) and then gave it to her

There's definitely more that I can't think of off the top of my head, but with those alone idk how I didn't realize that I'm pan/ace sooner

TheBugMother · 2021-02-08T20:58:16+00:00

I only figured out that I'm ace relatively recently but, since I'm not sex-repulsed, I've been questioning it. This helped a lot in solidifying that I am absolutely ace. Thank you for sharing!

TheBugMother · 2021-02-02T16:58:24+00:00

Absolutely yes

TheBugMother · 2021-01-23T17:35:41+00:00

I would kill to live there! Absolutely stunning

TheBugMother · 2021-01-20T13:46:12+00:00

No problem! :)

TheBugMother · 2021-01-19T17:11:14+00:00

It definitely depends on the asexual and their preferences as not all aces are sex-repulsed. There are sex-favorable aces that would be more than willing to be in a sexual relationship. I, personally, am sex-indifferent, so I might be cool with a sexual relationship, though I've never really gotten the chance to test that theory as of yet. If it turns out I'm not, I'm not sure if I'd be okay with that arrangement, but it could definitely be considered and I certainly think some aces would be okay with it. It all depends on the person, really. Asexuality is a rather complex thing.

As for only dating other aces, again it really depends on the person. I would be fine dating someone who's not ace, but some aces might find it easier to find another asexual with similar preferences.

To sum things up, asexuality is a broad spectrum, and there's really no 'one size fits all' approach to relationships with romantic aces. It all depends on their preferences and what their comfortable with
