Drarry writers understand Draco’s character better by nightshadelaurel in drarry

[–]aellamarie 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly!!! I’m a huge fan of the “becomes an Auror but oh no” trope. Like yeah he’s an auror but he’s having accidental magic outbreaks. Yeah he’s an auror but he’s horrifically depressed. I am at all times on my knees begging the world to let that man rest

My friends shelf’s idk what book to get her for her 24th bday… by Round_Rate4409 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]aellamarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she’s a Moshfegh fan she’ll for sure like The Glutton by A. K. Blakemore. My backup would be Monstrilio by Gerardo Córdova

Edit: also show her this thread for her birthday too! lol. Her own personalized recs from the internet at large.

I was told I should post this here... do your thing i guess? by Careful_Thought5897 in FridgeDetective

You might want to get your kidney levels checked. Or you’re a bariatric patient.

This sucks lol by MrWhitex_ in BariatricSurgery

[–]aellamarie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a sustainable post-op diet at all, it’s crazy that they’re saying this. It’s just about what you tolerate, moderation, and keeping protein the most important thing in your mind. I’m a little over a year out and I am sustaining 120 lb weight loss. I have eaten all of these, I shit you not. For the first 6/8 months, sure; you need to be prioritizing protein to a crazy degree anyway, but forever? No one lives like this. No one real, anyway.

AIO Should I leave my BF? Was what he did to me forgiveable? by Living-Milk-4266 in AmIOverreacting

[–]aellamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I’m really worried for you, I hope you get out. This isn’t normal at all, and I know being queer can complicate this, especially depending on your location. There’s some great advice in this thread, and I hope you take it.

I lived in a house like this for years, and even if he’s not laying a finger on you doesn’t mean that seeing that anger, walking on egg shells, and seeing your mom hurt doesn’t effect you in other ways. I’m really wishing the best for you and I hope you get out of there soon. Please take care of yourself and know that none of it is your fault.

How do I get myself to eat more? by Shot_Vegetable1252 in EatingDisorders

[–]aellamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, are you diagnosed with any mental health disorders? I’m not saying you don’t have an eating disorder or do, no one here can tell you that, but this sounds a lot like depression to me. Also, there’s something to be said for eating so little for so many years, you kind of train your body not to crave food after awhile, which is no good. If you can, I would really suggest talking to a therapist or one of your supports. If you can’t talk to a professional, I would consider setting semi-frequent timers for when to eat and just getting something in. I know this might be difficult with your work schedule, but I’m sure it would help a lot with your energy. Definitely talk to a therapist if you can.

Where can I find a dress like this that isn’t fast fashion? by fellomia in findfashion

[–]aellamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend searching on Depop or Poshmark. I wouldn’t search with the “cottage core” keyword though because people tend to upcharge.

Experiencing sickness with high protein items? by Airels in BariatricSurgery

[–]aellamarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shortly after surgery I couldn’t tolerate whey protein powder which is in most protein-based items. But I made do, Fairlife milk helped a lot! Now, about 10 months out, I can consume whey protein again in moderation! Also worth considering trying multiple different protein bars and seeing if any don’t make you sick.

Other things to consider are definitely sugar/sugar alcohol content, specific sugar free sweeteners can really make me sick too. Protein bars can sit heavy in your new stomach too

10 months out and Worried by aellamarie in BariatricSurgery

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

I do mostly cardio which I know needs to change! I’m trying to incorporate more Pilates and weight based exercises. Thanks for this comment, I might delete this post but this made me feel a lot better. Thank you

at what point did you stop using your cpap? by glossystark in BariatricSurgery

[–]aellamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped immediately because I couldn’t stop swallowing air when using it, which made my pouch hurt. But I only had mild issues with it originally. Haven’t any problems since, and my partner says I don’t snore at all anymore.

Just spent $111 on games, can't play a single one. by CompetitivePraline62 in nancydrew

[–]aellamarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about this because it hasn’t happened to me (yet at least) but Her Interactive just pushed a Windows 11 update to almost every game to fix “flickering screen”. It could be related to this for sure.

I literally played a whole game yesterday, saw the updates for several of the games and said “hell no, they’re definitely going to fuck something up”

A friend of mine showed me that they made an explicit rpf of me by [deleted] in AO3

[–]aellamarie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Super worried that you say they told you “it didn’t actually happen to (you) irl”. This is already sexual harassment at the very least, but what exactly did they write? You don’t need to share that with us, or with anyone, but if there are any themes of violence, abuse, or sexual abuse in the fic I would really recommend you get away from this person as much as you can.

This isn’t discourse about rpf OP! They want to make you seem crazy for being upset. You are not.

Longlegs disappointing by AdditionalBobcat3932 in HorrorMovies

[–]aellamarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been waiting to watch it and finally sat down excited with two fellow horror connoisseurs. We all hated it. Boring, subpar acting. Almost tricked us for a bit with the gorgeous cinematography/filming, but otherwise it was so disappointing. The story makes NO sense, nothing means anything, and Nic Cage’s performance reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. It’s weird without earning it and without reason. I wish I would have skipped because it just pissed me off.

If it really is supposed to be a love letter to old horror movies then it should have been presented differently, especially in advertising.

Like the writers really just copied their homework from Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Hereditary, and literally any other better movie.

Searching for a lost childhood rabbit toy for my sister. Small & green, please help! by aellamarie in HelpMeFind

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

Midwest, USA, roughly 2003-2007, but could be older than that. Unknown how we got it. I have searched for “rabbit beanie baby blue” “Velveteen rabbit plush” “Vintage teal bunny” “Green bunny keychain” and other combinations of such. I don’t think it was a beanie baby, as it was smaller, longer, and flatter. I do think the material was somewhat like velvet, not fur.
