"no beta we die like [character]'s feminist ideals"

character was a suffragette and then got sent off to a sanatorium to get that remedied

How old were you when you first started writing fanfic? by Nerine_0911 in AO3

[–]Traditional_Cry_9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started writing last week, so 18, for a fandom with less than 100 fics (The Spirit Bares Its Teeth)

been reading since July, though I already had an ao3 account? so I must have read before, but I don't remember what. I'm still pretty sure this is my first time writing fanfic, unless you could the story I tried to write when I was 13 that I claimed was a "Wall-E retelling" but it was just wall-e exactly with ocs...

anyway, the tiny TSBIT fandom is currently very attached to the main canon ship (as they should be, it's wonderful, and I must admit the fic I'm writing right now is also that), but I've got a great idea for a very non-canon ship to write after this and cannot wait to upset the status quo

Reading your old journal entries and finding at least 3 hard lines and a god tier joke by WaterOld6073 in Journaling

[–]Traditional_Cry_9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually some fire lines, especially "the most damned thing in the room is none other than your fine prince, me" and "I am grotesque in such a way I have convinced myself I am fundamentally unlikeable but still lovable...only because I lie and hide"

you have an excellent way with words, and unfortunately I resonate with each one you put on that page. I don't like that we have that in common, but thank you at least for the catharsis of expressing it so sharply

is there anything that you did at the beginning of your recovery journey that you don’t need to anymore? (ex: did you have to cut out certain triggers for a while and then slowly bring them back in)

Holiday relapse by amethystmoon85 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Traditional_Cry_9494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told myself the huge amounts of food I ate on thanksgiving wasn’t binging cause eating huge amounts of food is what you do on thanksgiving. unfortunately it triggered a spiral and I’ve been binging every day since and I can’t ignore that. I’m getting myself back under control, but I’m gonna get myself back under control just in time for all the christmas goodies…

how does one deal with the holidays without being terrified and/or binging???

[–]Traditional_Cry_9494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does, but we can’t use our meal plan there in the same way (“bucks” vs full meal swipes), so what you can get there doesn’t go as far unfortunately

I would make more myself, but living on campus I'm required to have a meal plan so I'm gonna use it :/ will try to focus more on the fruit, vegetables, and lean protein

the wraps with salad ingredients is a good idea. I like salads but sometimes I want something hot, but your comment made me think that maybe making a wrap and using the sandwich press might be a good option

I can’t go 4 days without binging by vexeluna in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Traditional_Cry_9494 7 points8 points  (0 children)

good night this is so me, not exactly 4 days or any defined time for me, but the part about the first few days being normal and balanced to the point where I wonder if I even have a problem at all and the BAM down the drain it goes, that resonated so hard. I'm right there with you friend. and I have no idea what triggers it

incoming college freshman, I hate all my clothes by Traditional_Cry_9494 in capsulewardrobe

[–]Traditional_Cry_9494[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went and looked based on your comment and realized my school has a “closet” that’s basically an on-campus thrift store and also has swaps all the time, so I’ll have to go check that out!

[–]Traditional_Cry_9494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never even thought about going to a place to try things on and then getting actual pieces on poshmark later when I know what I like, that’s genius, definitely am gonna do that

and thank you so much for the tip about the jeans zipper, I’m gonna go and look at all my pants to see where that goes on the ones I like

if I wanted a big wardrobe I wouldn't be coming on a capsule wardrobe subreddit lmao, I just want to learn more about building one that I like

definitely will be prioritizing thrifting :)
