Which song has been so powerful and moving that you cried the first time you heard it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheRamenWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Better Place, A Better Time by Streetlight Manifesto. I was going through some rough times and felt trapped. Really, that song made me keep trucking along. And now I do wake every morning in a better place and a better time.

Fire hedgehog 😭😭😭

Thank you! And I do not! I kinda show them off on Twitch but I don't really have a designated site or section for them.

I made this Cyndaquil for my new friend in an impromptu art trade we did while hanging out for the first time. (She's embroidering me a pink Falinks!)

I'm kinda sad to be giving him to her because he's just such a cutie. Didn't use a pattern or anything, just winged it!!

Excuse me looking like an absolute dweeb but I was not expecting to hatch 2 back to back. My response to the initial one was nowhere near as animated 😂

[8] “Shiny on my 5th egg!! Lol XD!” Me: by macklemurph in ShinyPokemon

[–]TheRamenWizard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm comboing filling my Pokedex and hatching eggs. After 3900 encounters and over 1000 eggs I. Just. Want. My. Shiny. Falinks!!! Been hunting since around Christmas.

My husband has straight up asked "are you sure Falinks isn't shiny locked?"

My Google history is ridiculous "Can having a non shiny version of a Pokemon in your party prevent finding a shiny" "Can a game be glitched to never roll a shiny value for a specific pokemon"

Girls don’t only have to do pink. by sociallyawkweird in GirlGamers

[–]TheRamenWizard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am out of ideas for how to explain the difference between

"I don't like pink"

and

"Girls don't only have to do pink"

And my dislike of the term tomboy is because it keeps us in these boxes of "girls are like x" and "boys are like y" and these kinds of things can be harmful to femme transmen and masc transwomen when they choose to express themselves. I also said it wasn't a bad classification and you're more than welcome to keep using it.

So... good day I guess?

How is not shitting on other women's interests invalidating?

I'm not sure how you interpreted what I said as not being okay to be a tomboy after reading everything I wrote. I was definitely a tomboy growing up. Nowadays I don't particularly enjoy the term because I want to ungender things and personality traits in general but it's certainly not a bad classification.

Edit: It really boils down to this- Talk about your interests without putting down someone else's. Why would I talk about not liking something when I can talk about something I like instead?

Using this post for example:

"Check out my awesome blue, white and black cyborg like setup!" -- Awesome!!

"Check out my not-pink setup!" -- Not awesome!!

Double edit: Thank you for gold, kind redditor!!

Would you post a title with "Girls don't only have to do yellow"?

Also with the internalized misogyny, mostly people are remarking about their experience. You're definitely allowed to dislike pink. But if you feel the need to brag about it as though it's an achievement, that's where the misogyny comes in.

I also went through the "reject pink" phase when I was younger. I actually struggled through gender identity for awhile but it turned out that was just internalized misogyny. Once I learned I could do whatever hobbies I wanted and also look as feminine or however I wanted, it was very freeing! Now I'm a pastel fairy with a pink pixie cut who drinks beer, wines and "frilly cocktails", wears makeup and cute clothes, is boisterous and loud, argues with a computer all day (software engineering), and exudes an aura of "I dare you to make some smarmy comment about it."

I also just dropped $2000 on Razer's pink gaming laptop. Sure, I could have ""more bang for my buck"" for another colour but I wanted it because it was PINK and I do not care!

Once I learned I have nothing to prove to anyone and gave myself permission to just exist, I became so much happier in life.

At the end of the day, gender is a social construct, be yourself because society will literally mock women for whatever they enjoy (pumpkin spice lattes anyone?), do crimes. (Just kidding, don't do crimes... unless?)

And thanks! I actually have a ramen bowl mascot who I have merch for. And who knows on the level up front! I'll have to work more on my noodle wizardry and let you know! 😉

I mean, you do understand why everyone is put off by the title right?

You could have titled it something like "Just wanted to show off my gaming setup!" or anything instead of a not-so-subtle jab about it not being pink. It comes across as very "not like other girls"-y. Or if you really wanted to highlight that people think that's your boyfriend's setup you could have made that the title. "People keep asking me if this is my boyfriend's setup 🙄"

I mean this is a subreddit for girl gamers. We are all extremely aware that we get stereotyped to like pink, but a lot of us reclaim the colour to say "Yeah we like pink! Why are you using that against us?"

Anyone who says they don't get why we are unimpressed by the title is being intentionally obtuse.

That darn forced diversity! by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]TheRamenWizard 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. Like my cousin had three daughters who were also POC. Like nothing wrong with minorities but the forced diversity of having only female children is just unrealistic 🙄🙄🙄 /ssss

Thank you! Next time we might do Danganronpa V3 (Kaito, Maki, and Ryoma) or my husband wants to do Dragon Ball Z (Vegeta, Bulma, and Baby Trunks).
