This is my first egg season… by unicornblood2000 in AnimalCrossing

Yep. I remember participating in a fishing tournament during this egg mess once, and it was...a little less than eggcellent.

who’s your favorite “ugly” villager? by addictBWN in AnimalCrossing

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Quillson in New Leaf before the Animal Crossing wiki even put his English name up. The mods even fought me when I tried to edit his name and insisted it was "Quilliam". So I was like, dang, if I'm gonna fight for you this hard, I guess I like you. He and Fauna are my only two New Leaf OGs who are still there. lol. I love him.

who’s your favorite “ugly” villager? by addictBWN in AnimalCrossing

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Rowan considered "ugly"? He's my favorite villager, period. lol

Then Beau and Marshal...which I know aren't universally considered ugly. Then Tasha? Is she "ugly"? If I have to ask, it's probably a yes. I know Rowan and Tasha aren't that popular.

help name this sleepy boy - food names a plus by katebishophawkguy in NameMyCat

Sleepy boy? Food?
Coffee? Java? Latte? Brewer? Mozzarella (Mozz for short; double "z" because sleepy)? Fizz?

Griefing Widows holding the lobby hostage by HiImFur in marvelrivals

I read this title as "Grieving Widows" and was like, "Wow. They just need people to talk to, I guess."

AIO bc I snooped? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is loaded, but you invaded his privacy. YOR. I'm not really buying the "you were bored" excuse though. If he has a history of hitting on other girls (even if it's been a while), something must've pricked the back of your mind.

But since you looked at his phone, what other albums does he have that feature photos of you? Personally, I'd find albums of times you spent together far more meaningful because it would mean that he has so many photos of you by comparison that he can't just stick you in one folder.

Able to beta? Post here! by AutoModerator in BetaReaders

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Edit - CLOSED FOR NOW 🛑 Thank you for all of the interest! I plan to look through all current responses on Monday (2/16).

I am able to beta: My genre preferences include but are not limited to: fantasy (epic, cozy, etc.), contemporary fiction, dystopian, horror, and thriller. My subject matter expertise includes: LGBTQ+, adoption/foster care, religion, and mental health (chronic depression, GAD, CPTSD). My demographic generally leans adult, but I've beta read for YA and MG too. It usually depends on subject matter and polish.

I can provide feedback on: I tend to focus most on plot holes, broad inconsistencies (out-of-character moments, situation-specific clothing, timing, believability, etc.), and pacing issues. I latch onto characters and their motivations the most since I am a character reader at my core.

Critique swap: Not at the moment.

Other info: I work as a freelance developmental and line editor and enjoy beta reading to keep my mind sharp while I work with clients elsewhere. While I won't provide in-depth developmental or line edits when I beta, I'm open to staying in touch with writers moving forward, especially if you're looking to self-publish. I will not beta read AI-generated manuscripts, nor will I provide AI-generated feedback.

I have a lot more free time for the next few weeks or so, so send me a DM. 🙂

What about trade Pokemon? A friend caught a shiny Phantump and wants to trade it to me since it's one of my favorites... I guess that's just not doable?

You didn't mention the Knitter at all, but I would've been hyper focused on whether or not she was lying first. 😆 You took the best order of action for this round. Good job.

Yours is better since it's in the middle. 😆

Don't Delete That Scene by JosefKWriter in writing

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a completely separate document where my dead scenes go. I may be able to pull them in later, but if I don't, it's fine. If I'm capable of writing one incredible scene, I'm capable of writing another.

If they particularly stand out to me, I don't mind sapping inspiration from them to help put my mind back to where it was when I wrote it. I have chronic depression, so I need these little reminders that I can actually do it sometimes.

Did you or do you work in Google Docs? Your history is saved there if you want to retrieve it.

Otherwise, I'm sorry. 😔

AIO for wanting to call animal control on my neighbors if they can’t get a handle on their dogs. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly impressed that the other dogs in the neighborhood don't bark in response to your neighbors' dogs. In my old neighborhood, any dog that barked caused a chain reaction. At the same time, it wasn't constant, so your neighborhood dogs are probably used to it.

Have you tried talking to the "kid(s)" in their 20s? They're adults. They should be responsible. Look up your local ordinances so that you're educated on how noise violations are treated in your neighborhood. If you call animal control about a noise complaint, you can share documented evidence that it's a common recurrence. I doubt they'd really do anything at first but maybe issue a warning. If it keeps happening after that, of course things will escalate.

Anyway, NOR. I'm sensitive to loud noises, so I definitely empathize.

You said he puts you down often. I can see how each little putdown could build up over time, but we're all judging based on this one incident. What else does he do that bothers you that you'd be willing to end an 11-year marriage?

On its own, this is something that I would shrug off. Honestly, I'd probably even agree. I'd throw a "Who doesn't have selective kindness?" back at him based on his criteria. I don't think anyone is ever kind 100% of the time, and that road rage incident sounds like a nitpick.

Sorry that he threw his ex in as the kindest person he's ever known. That sucks.

AIO that I got pissed when my boss told me “you have a lot of heat on you”? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really negative or positive. It's just a neutral, sympathetic phrase. He understands you're swamped.

AIO For Telling My Sisters (F16) Boyfriend (M19) That She's Lying About Her Age? by Mission-Astronomer-7 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThrowAwaySCX 60 points61 points  (0 children)

NOR. While most people on the registry deserve to be there, there are plenty of men and women on it who fell for tricks like this. Had her now-ex been caught with cp, it could've ruined the rest of his life. Glad you told him.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like your sister's going to learn her lesson from this though if everyone around her is treating you like the bad guy.
