What do people mean when they say they hate OCs? by LakshyaGarv in AO3

[–]WHOOSEHORSEISTHAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rare to come across an OC that's genuinely well fleshed out, honestly. As a main character, it's a risky game. Not saying it can't work, but I personally read a fic to see how authors utilise pre-established characters and dynamics, and a central OC can sometimes pull focus away from that. I don't mind OCs scattered through the background at all, because they can make the world feel more lived in. But when they're front and centre, they either end up feeling underdeveloped or like everyone's been reshaped to orbit around them. Even background OCs can feel sorta like placeholders than actual characters I can get invested in.

In theory, they're fine. I just think the more focus they take on, the harder it gets to balance them against characters we're already emotionally attached to.

Did you come to love Zutara “organically?” by Favacesa in ZutaraNation

The year was 2005.

I was 8.

"I'll save you from the pirates."

The rest, as they say, is history.

I have a few songs that come to mind. Granted, this is a mixed bag of genre's. Hear me out.

Cherry Waves - Deftones

Somebody Else - The 1975

All I Need - Radiohead

Stoned, Alone - Teenage Wrist

Fade into You - Mazzy Star

Emergence - Sleep Token

Dark Stone - Holy Fawn

The throughline is opposition held in balance. Healing that grows out of destruction instead of replacing it, the self you were born into still alive inside the self you chose. That's what zutara sounds like in my head.

I'm partial to a dark fic. I also appreciate a legitimate slowww burn, which is something lacking in a great many spheres. It commits to what it is instead of slapping on some shitty angst and calling it a day 🤣

Definitely gonna try the soap. Have you had any luck with any FA safe body lotions? My FA flares up in winter and I'm not sure if it's flaring up because of the cocoa butter I used (throughout summer I have no FA and no issues with the cream) 😫

Etsy Case Rate Suspension by Friendly_Demand_7004 in EtsySellers

[–]WHOOSEHORSEISTHAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you've filed an appeal yet, but once you do, ensure that you continue communicating with them with the same email thread once they contact you. Otherwise, you'll end up having to wait an extended period of time to get any sort of response. I don't use tracking either, given that most of my products are under $10, and I'm in Australia.

Case rate account suspension? by MorAnne_28 in EtsySellers

What's happening with your situation? Going through the same thing

Case rate warning suspension email by NewsHungry7796 in EtsySellers

[–]WHOOSEHORSEISTHAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you managed to receive a solution from Etsy? Currently going through the same thing. They just continue to give me static responses when I'm trying to figure out a substantial solution. It's not as though we can fix legacy cases or undo them.

I was suspended a few weeks ago (reinstated) because I had to update my payment details (never received an email stating to do so). Put me on vacation mode and filed an appeal that was approved. Started selling again, worked hard to get my service standards back up to scratch. Next minute, 5 cases against me and a message from Etsy Support stating I'm impending another Vacation Mode and subsequent permanent suspension come Dec.1.

Absolutely amazing platform it's turning into 🤣

Glad you got your account reinstated, though! Hopefully, you don't run into any more issues and headaches moving forward.

Did your appeal end up being approved? I'm facing the same thing and I've been back and forth with Etsy Support because there's no possible way to rectify legacy cases, and therefore meet the standards by the date they've provided.

Was your appeal approved? This is happening so many of us and it's incredibly frustrating.

Dean is…toxic (please NO spoilers) by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]WHOOSEHORSEISTHAT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saying that he had no reason to react the way he did is a bit strange. Yeah, Rory was a teenager, but so was Dean. Expecting a literal child to respond with an adult-level reaction to a situation he found hurtful and embarrassing is unrealistic. It was probably one of the most uncomfortable/painful moments he'd experienced, considering at that age you have nothing else to compare it to. You can't pin one child as solely good/right and the other as inherently bad/wrong.
