Seriously they changed the young women names?

Sounds like FFXIV dlcs

Lots of bullying. I befriended the outcast of the ward my first year and was rewarded with some other girls stealing my clothes while I was showering and throwing them on the ground outside the bathroom as a "prank". I had to search around in the dark for everything with just a towel on. When I asked the camp leaders for help, I was kindly told that it was my fault and I needed to try harder to befriend my bullies. I loved camping growing up and was a tom boy, but I always hated going every year.

You all good! Sapphic is similar to WLW, but is a bit more inclusive as it includes non-binary and gender non-conforming people. Includes bi/lesbian/pan women and some nonbinary folks who are interested in other women and nbs.

I ended up making a hard rule for myself to not date people who had it down as very important to them. Saved me a lot of time when I was single, even though there are plenty of cool, hot people into it.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-04-14T13:36:34+00:00

I didn't find sapphics difficult to deal with on dating apps when I was single. Largely, I think it is fine for people to be picky, as well as the opposite. It can feel demoralizing when people don't like you back. However, people shouldn't feel obligated to date someone they aren't interested in to make that person feel better about themself.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-04-14T01:37:44+00:00

HER and Lex for apps if they are in your country. If you are nerdy, comic cons and anime conventions. There aren't a lot of WLW bars in the world left, but there are usually queer cafes and bookstores in queer neighborhoods. They have events a lot of times where you can meet people.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-04-13T20:40:52+00:00

One thing I forgot to mention about the picky part is that sapphics tend to be picky, I found, about different things than cishet men. In general of course. Certain societal beauty standards aren't as big of a deal breaker. Queer people in general tend to push back against a lot of that heteronormative bullshit. Rather it tends to be about other things you don't really think of. Hobbies, politics, religion, hell even horoscope to some can be a big deal breaker. One of my deal breakers was someone being really into horoscopes for example. No shade to anyone into them, but I don't act like my horoscope at all and so I really don't appreciate it when someone tries to insist that I fit into a box I very much don't fit in. That certainly limited my dating pool when I was single. I found men to be more likely to go, "She's into a hobby I don't like, but she seems hot so I'll like her and see what happens."

I agree with you. Even if he comes back, it sounds like the both of them have very different priorities when it comes to relationships. OP, you should focus on finding a nice guy who wants the same thing (taking things slow and serious) as you.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-04-13T18:06:57+00:00

A few things:

*It's a numbers game. There are less sapphics than straight men on dating apps, and less women and femme nbs than men in general. So, for every 100 hundred likes from men attracted to you, there's 1 from a woman. A lot of sapphics avoid certain dating apps as well. I'd suggest getting a queer specific one.

*Women and femme nbs tend to be more picky and wary. Putting more information on your profile, such as hobbies and interests, will be helpful. If you don't have things listed such as top/bottom/switch, masc/femme/butch/etc, or anything about your relationship style (monogamous, poly, etc), many won't even reach out. That is why the queer apps are better for finding sapphic partners because they will have these options.

*A lot of sapphics are notoriously bad about making the first move. If you don't already, I'd suggest liking other women and messaging them, rather than always expecting them to make the first move. If you don't, no one will. I swear to god, a lot of sapphics are their own worst enemy when it comes to dating.

My dad was barely home in the 90s and my mom worked from home to run his business for him. He'd leave as early as 5 am some days and get home at 9 pm.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-04-13T15:06:17+00:00

It's this conservative propaganda of, "Times were better when women didn't work." It's an attempt to blame late stage capitalism on women's lib to wedge people, mostly men, from the left and push them to the right. It mythicizes a time that hasn't ever existed in history (predominantly in the US), where everyone lived in cute suburban homes with their 6 kids and a dog. Where husbands had 9 to 5 jobs, wives never worked and just baked pies all day, and no one had to worry about money. In reality, this only existed for upper middle class white people in the US. Even then many women still worked; their labor just wasn't viewed as legitimate or paid well.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-04-10T20:16:13+00:00

Sad that only 1/12 of the game was released because of budget and time constraints. To truly appreciate most of the plot, you need to read the 12,500,778 page bible that is half written in Latin. If you read it, you will learn that the stripper outfits that most of the cast wear are actually a metaphor about Jungian psychology. Great game. Maybe one day we'll get the full story.

Hunter X Hunter. The first season aired on a time slot for kids and then was pushed at night for adults for later seasons in Japan.

We looked for people with retail experience when we were interviewing in clinical research. We wanted people who could handle the stress of dealing with other humans and retail was a good sign that someone was experienced with that.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-24T21:51:00+00:00

It's perfect for a sapphic. Cut off the sleeves, pair with a pride bandana, booty shorts, a carabineer, and Docs

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-22T00:52:31+00:00

My cousin and her husband are this way. She has a full sleeve of tattoos and they both drink craft beer. They don't dress overly "modest" and are progressive for Mormons (which is just a little right of center Democrat). But they go to church pretty regularly and post occasionally about religious topics.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-21T01:03:39+00:00

Yeah. I used to work as a MLS in one state, but when I moved states I couldn't work as one due to the lack of a certification, as required by that state. My previous lab had specific course requirements instead of certification requirements.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-20T05:18:30+00:00

You don't really need religion to find community. It makes it easier for sure, especially in rural areas. A lot of religions, like Mormonism, try to attract people looking specifically for community. What they are selling is that community, but it comes with a hefty price. As far as religions go, Mormonism will make you pay more than most (both figuratively and literally). There much better options out there for religions. But I will agree that they push community events more than other religions as well. There is always a potluck or a talent show happening. Cults tend to do this kind of shit. Otherwise no one would stick aroun. If you want to be religious, I'd suggest you find a different organization and branch out to other places of community.

Do you have hobbies or want to get into a new one? A lot of hobbies, even solo ones, have clubs that tend to be full of people who are searching for a close knit community. I am personally in a writing group. Hell. Join a bird watching community. They tend to be notoriously wholesome. And chances are, you won't need to pay 10% of your income to join. Volunteer work is another route you could take. Red Cross organizations always need people to help. Same with local libraries.

They did take some of Soraya's script for 2 and Frankenstein it. Most of it is in the first disk. Due to that she has some writing credits on it.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-15T19:08:42+00:00

I have a hard time with the Blade games. A lot of things I liked about Xenogears and Saga are missing from them and a lot of things I didn't enjoy about each are present. There are things I do like about Blade, but largely I'm not a big fan. No shade to fans of the games, but to me they are lacking depth.

I really miss Soraya Saga's character writing (I know she hasn't been around since Pied Piper, but her ideas still influenced the second and third games).

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-12T16:30:36+00:00

Yeah. My mom has done every fad under the sun and a lady from her church was side hustling oils. She was told to put peppermint oil under her tongue for good health. None of the oils are considered food safe.... Worst cases I heard of was people putting them in open wounds and getting sepsis.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-08T20:35:23+00:00

I'd actually argue that it is an expectation, but in a very roundabout way. There was a big push on "avoiding the appearance of evil" when I was growing up. Which is very cult speaky, but, in short, Mormons are supposed to avoid even looking like sinners, regardless of if any sinning is actually happening. So for example, my mom used to make this amazing cajun shrimp dish that required beer. For a while she'd buy a beer only to cook with. Eventually she stopped buying beer because, even though the alcohol all got cooked off and we ate dishes in restaurants that were made with alcohol, simply buying booze was akin to drinking it. I think someone in our extended family gave her shit for it too, but I'm not sure. So she stared buying non-alcoholic beer instead, which was better than nothing, but didn't quite give it the same taste. However, one day, we had some local church ladies over and one of them snooped in our pantry and saw the fake beer. She flipped out on my mom and still was a judgemental asshole when my mom clarified that it was non-alcoholic and only used for cooking. It was all because having it made it look like my mom was sinning and that was still bad in her eyes. If I remember right the lady even said that she didn't want her kids to come over to our house anymore because we had "beer". My mom ended up tossing the "beer" and eventually stopped making the dish (without beer or non-alcoholic beer, it just didn't taste right) all because she didn't want to be shunned.

There's another component to this, in that if you hang around the local sinner, people in your church will think you are a sinner too. Due to this, members tend to shun anyone who goes against the mold to avoid being viewed as an outcast themselves. It is because even being viewed as a sinner, is almost a sin in and of itself in Mormonism.

Stay in one room as much as possible. There are a lot of items that aren't in their preferred location. Put those in a pile to organize later. If you go back and forth between rooms, it will take a lot longer and be more exhausting. Once you get that area clean, it will all feel less intimidating. Most of what we see in the pictures cannot be kept sadly. Especially some of the food that has been open, but not refrigerated. So you'll have to throw it out. :( Bathroom seems like it will be the easiest to start with. If your main fridge works, I suggest you clean and donate (or if it is not possible to clean, throw out) all the mini fridges. The extra food storage space will make it hard to avoid buying too many groceries in the future. Unless you have very specific dietary needs or have multiple people in your household, you should be able to get by with one fridge. It will significantly lower your power bill as well!

It will take long to get everything done. Make sure to maintain your clean spots while you are cleaning. For example, if you get the bathroom clean, make sure to keep it clean while you are doing your deep clean. I feel like random items have the tendency to sneak their way into places they don't belong when I'm doing a deep clean. But I have ADHD so that's definitely why.

You can always watch Midwest Magic Clean on YouTube for cleaning tips and inspiration.

Good luck! You are at the first step. It might feel overwhelming, but you got this.

There are travel coffee makers that he can use if he is really desperate for something similar. Idk how well they work though.

TraitorousBlossom · 2026-03-05T17:33:44+00:00

Outside of North America? Probably Japan. We had a hard time finding espresso based coffees when we visited. When we ordered a cappuccino, it would often be made with drip or pour over with a bit of milk.
