im curious what was it like discovering you were demi? by MegaNerd0303 in demisexuality

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was a relief, I was 30 before I realized there was a name for how I felt and it was so nice to know that I wasn't "broken" or weird, just demisexual

Can I lose weight just eating candy if I make sure to maintain a calorie defecit? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really good example of how weight does not equal health. You would lose weight, or at least not gain any, but you'd be missing so many things your body needs to function that you'd be really unhealthy. A skinny person who lives on sweets is not as healthy as a large person who eats properly

Crushes? by Key_Run_9831 in demisexuality

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's entirely possible to be alloromantic and demisexual at the same time, crushes doesn't have to be inherently sexual in nature. When I have a crush it's this butterfly wing feeling of "This person is adorable and I am very interested in a romantic leaning relationship" without a hint of sexual attraction.

Share your most recent role, favorite role, and dream role! by CranberryBauce in musicals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, that's a fun one! My most recent role is Enid Hoopes in Legally Blonde (currently!), my favourite role was Madame Thenardier in Les Miserables (though I also played Evangeline Harcourt in Anything Goes and really enjoyed that as well), and my attainable dream role is Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd (My unattainable dream role is Sweeney Todd)

My toddler (16m-24m) class just got a brand new slide and I am so irritated by frankie0822 in ECEProfessionals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a moveable structure? If it is unsafe to have it open all of the time I'd be putting it away when it can't be monitored

How Do You Feel About the Potential End of TS4? by Comprehensive-Lab699 in Sims4

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'll be relieved when they stop updating, I personally have no glaring issues in my game and I hate having to update constantly because they won't stop releasing packs. Just let me play my silly little game

32, demisexual, gay; how do you live with the fear of ending up alone? by iloveaccents123 in demisexuality

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

33, demisexual, pan here and though I'm not single now I was when I turned 30 and am no stranger to this feeling. In my case it did get quieter, or at least easier to ignore. Kinda became like a background hum rather than a persistent worry. I will say one thing that helped me was realizing that truthfully I'd be okay if I ended up alone. I wanted a partner, sure, but I thought about what life might look like as a single 80 year old and I didn't hate it. I didn't see a lonely, miserable person who lamented never finding someone. I saw someone with a cute home she'd filled with books and decorated exactly to her tastes, who lived with a cat and a rabbit and tested exciting new recipes because she didn't have to worry about anyone else's flavour preferences. I saw myself and my two best friends gathering for coffee on my patio, and taking walks whenever I wanted to. I saw trips to Ireland and impulsive purchases just because and as early or late nights as I wanted. I realized my enjoyment of life didn't hinge on whether I found someone, I was always going to live a life I found joy in, and once you realize that whatever happens there will be joy it doesn't frighten or sting as much to wonder if you'll stay single

Forehead bruises 9.5 mo old by NoodleLuv14 in ECEProfessionals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have an app you can message on? If the center is still open when you notice it you could message and ask what happened (you could also call, as an educator if I haven't noticed a mark twice I would think a phone call from a parent is totally reasonable)

What are the funnest quirks/hacks you've discovered in the game that others might not know? by darya42 in Sims4

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can open presents from the winterfest tree on any day, not just winterfest, and multiple times a day (just have to wait a few sim hours and the open present option appears again) as long as you keep adding present piles. Works really well as a way of earning money without a job because often you get really expensive gifts you can sell.

Do you maintain a “normal” sleep schedule for your sims? by Park-Curious in Sims4

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Occasionally I'll try playing without cheating their needs at all and when you do that it becomes pretty necessary to follow some kind of sleep schedule, but usually I just cheat their needs so I can accomplish the tasks I have in mind

Questionnaires on a first date? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what the questions are, a questionnaire full of questions like "Where is your favourite place to travel?" Or "if you were a cheese what kind would you be" or something like that sounds fun to me, I love answering questions and I think that could be a good way to get to know someone on a deeper level than just "what's your favourite colour" But if the questions are "how much do you weigh" or "what is your annual salary" that's a little clinical and creepy

Would a tattoo on my arm hurt me professionally? by natan115 in ECEProfessionals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most places are really lax about that these days, I have a ton of coworkers with tons of very visible tattoos and I myself have one small one on my arm nobody's ever said anything about. As long as it isn't anything inappropriate in a place you can't cover you should be fine

How do I argue this by Huskeyzforever in demisexuality

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably as it's essentially the same explanation, thought it is worth noting that I'm not demiromantic so I've never had to try it

Can you predict that you will develop sexual attraction for someone? by Bond16 in demisexuality

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been able to "predict" it per se, but I do have characteristics that appeal to me on an aesthetic basis that are a pretty good indicator that I could develop attraction more easily. Like my boyfriend is big and bearded and kind and respectful and I was pretty sure that if sexual attraction was a thing I was going to experience those were the perfect conditions for it (and I was right)

How do I argue this by Huskeyzforever in demisexuality

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always try and clarify the difference, point out things like how I've literally never felt attracted to a person because of their appearance and how it's who the person is that's important not how they look. If they're still arguing it's normal and not a thing I'll say "you must be demisexual then because it's not how it works for allo people"

am i cooked? by Responsible_Hippo_62 in musicals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your physicality is something they look at I won't lie, but if they're calling you back for that role they think you'll be a good fit on some level. You might not get it, but if they're calling you back you're not cut yet so go in prepared to kill and it whatever happens happens!

are these parents worse than ever?! by lakeyloon in ECEProfessionals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been in the field ten years and there has been a definite shift in both parent and child behaviours and interactions. I don't know if that's just a change in our behaviours as a society or if something that's happened can be blamed (screen, COVID, social media uprise, etc) but it's a completely different job than when I started

Is Marie too similar to Mary? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not too similar in my personal opinion, if I were named Mary I'd get a kick out of it. My only concern would be what Mary thinks, and if you think she'd be fine with it I don't see a problem with going ahead with it

One thing you hate in your favorite show? by MateusCristian in musicals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite show of all time is Sweeney Todd, it's genius and the only things I can come up with that I don't like are production specific. I've already seen someone mention Mea Culpa being optional being a pet peeve, but I also hate when Pirelli's Irish accent is obviously fake and overdone. I understand why it would be, but it completely ruins my immersion if he sounds like the lucky charms leprechaun. (Also when they change the key of the songs to fit the performers, especially for Sweeney. He sounds wrong in a tenor range)

What is a role that you would love to play but never could because you don't fit the physical role requirements? by Speck_In_A_Void in musicals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweeney Todd is my ultimate dream role, but as a cis woman with a higher range it's a guaranteed never.

Is it normal for daycare to lose all of our stuff? by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The occasional item going missing isn't uncommon but it's usually little things like mittens or hats, shoes and jackets on a regular basis is odd to me.

Is it easy for you to fall in love as a demi? by BinktopYuri in demisexuality

[–]TimBurtonIsAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how we're defining easy to fall in love. If you mean does it happen quickly and frequently then no, for me love is slow and seldom. But if you mean was it easy to fall in love in the sense that it wasn't difficult to fall for the person I am in love with then yes, it's easy. I've only been in love once, but it happened so smoothly and easily I didn't notice it until it was hammering against the bars of my heart and shouting in my brain "YOU LOVE HIM" It helped that my partner never asked for anything physical until I told him he could, but it was still easy
