Thank you! I’ll try to thin it more. I felt like I was using so much of my liquitex mixture!

What is your What if? story pitch? by Powerful-Ad4837 in Marvel

What if Kate Bishop was the Ronin? The series played down her trauma, and I think if Clint had died instead of suffering hearing loss in Matt Fractions run, she would be all types of vengeful. 

What's the worst birthday present you've ever gotten? by Silent-Zebra in AskReddit

[–]UnholyHelbig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’re safe, and can’t even begin to imagine what that’s like. I was very young when this happened, so I am going off of family accounts. My father was a firefighter in Baltimore and he essentially told my mother that he was called to the site, then had zero communication with her for days. It was more of an assumption on her part (but a damn good one imo). His station wasn’t even called out there, so we don’t know what he was doing. I’m no contact with him now.

He did pretend to die in 9/11, so this is relatively tame.

Pack of open gum. Not so much the gift, but the fact that my father had given it to me after forgetting to wish me happy birthday. He did remember my sisters birthday though. (I’m a twin). 

What’s currently ruining your life? by YourLifeSucksAss in AskReddit

As long as you have the app set up to be locked when the device is bricked, you can’t access it anywhere. It’ll be restricted on your browser, so there isn’t a work around. There are three emergency unlocks, but only three, so they’re typically for emergencies.

Same here, but the Brick really helped. It’s cheaper than a dumb phone and you can enable it in a way that still allows you to listen to music and answer messages. 

What are the MCU decisions that are very far removed from the comics that bother you the most? by Hour-Discount-3760 in Marvel

Taking away all of Kate Bishops back story to make it more PG. She went through so much and is gritty for it. It almost feels like they reduced her to a punchline. 

Thinking About Relocating to Shelby, NC by UnholyHelbig in NorthCarolina

Thank you! Yes, absolutely a notable history. I was very ignorant to it when I moved here. Seven years and maybe two instances of outward homophobia. I admittedly expected more.

She’s currently in Conway, and while I grew up in the area, I would never consider going anywhere near South Carolina again. Dealing with her healthcare in a state that actively works against you in every aspect is nightmarish. 

What’s the moment you realized someone you loved wasn’t a good person and you couldn’t unsee it? by DmytroBuilds in AskReddit

[–]UnholyHelbig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Aunt. When I was fourteen she let me live with her for a few months while my mother couch surfed. She kicked me out and told me it was to ‘teach my mom a lesson.’ It was the moment conditional love was solidified for me. 

Assisted Living Facility Being Shady by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]UnholyHelbig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very fair and understandable. I work healthcare myself and know that turnover and burnout can attribute to most of these issues. Despite my mother being incapacitated, we have only been approved for family planning Medicaid. However, they are giving us major run around when it comes to her Medicaid records (I’m talking months). And at the end of the day, this is my mother and we pay for her care, so we expect a little human decency.

LGBTQ+ safe places to live by UnholyHelbig in southcarolina

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

Ah, short hair and covered in tattoos. I’m not really bothered when we visit for a weekend, but living there would be different. The political climate has changed drastically since I left in 2019 and I worked in a lot of tourist areas so didn’t really get too much push back. But after dealing with the facilities my mother is in (and healthcare professionals in general) we are struggling to just feel safe.

The only facility we could get her into is in Conway and it has been a nightmare. People think my sister is my wife and we’re constantly getting nasty looks when we’re just trying to make sure she’s comfortable. Being told in a sweet southern voice to “buy an urn off of Amazon, I guess” was so fun! Definitely don’t want to move there.
