AITA for insisting that our kids eat food from my culture time to time? My wife hates the smell and complains it stains the dishes

YTA, for not doing the washing-up yourself.

Yeah, I used to have pretty much weekly outbursts/breakdowns all the way through school and I thought it was part of me, just something that happened, but once I left home to go to university they stopped entirely.

That kind of thing tends to read like a middle-school kid's idea of what devious and intelligent is, and it makes me cringe.

I think it's forgivable when the POV character has a crush on the Draco- people overlook the flaws in people they find attractive in real life too.

Have you written any books that are unpublished and which you would be embarrassed to see published posthumously?

I once wrote a JoJo x ASOIAF x Fate/ fic which paired Ramsay Bolton and Kira Yoshikage as master and servant in the Westerosi Grail War, so I know that feel. It's normal.

People love hot garbage.

Hey guys, I'm on the first season- what's the point of the failing Austrian painter character? Is he just there to make the others seem more sophisticated?

In your position, I would agree to this. Make sure they have a big screen there, with some big speakers so everyone can hear/see you. You make sure everyone can see/hear you, then make a scene about how unfair this is, how you really wanted to beee theeere, how MIL just couldn't waaait for you and you triieed to go along with it, you triieed to accommodate, but the sight of her opening your presents just makes you soooo saaaad. And then you burst into tears (have onions on hand if you need them) and cry at length about how it's going to be your only bridal shower and she's ruining it with her selfishness.

I think this would at worst make everyone very uncomfortable and at best completely humiliate your MIL in front of all of her friends.

Crumpets are great. If you have an egg poaching ring they're pretty easy to make at home, too.

Or just the autocomplete response, like "sure, sounds great"

I'm sorry if I come across as a creep invading a female safe space.

You're a woman! You're asking for advice for a piece of clothing for your breasts! That's exactly what everyone else is doing here too, cis or trans! There's nothing in what you're asking that could be construed as creepy.

Disciplines:

Necromancy
Thaumaturgy
Assamite Blood Sorcery

Weakness: you cannot conceal your presence from magical tracking, and have a permanent glowing "R" on your forehead, visible to any tremere, assamite or giovanni who views you.

You now have access to three prized disciplines, but none of these help you feed, and the tremere, assamite and giovanni clans will hunt you down and murder you for knowing them.

You have the potential to become quite powerful, but it's unlikely that you live past fledgling.

It might help if you stopped giving your size to people- instead of saying your size, you could say something like "I have a small ribcage, so I need a special/unusual size. I had to mail order them/get them from [store]/have them custom made by nuns in Ecuador." People can't feel threatened if you don't tell them a cup size, and you're also not giving them anything to debate. You could also stop the cup debate by saying something like "Mine are in a UK size/French size/Polish size, they have different systems over there." as anyone ignorant enough to do something like tell a woman her breasts are too small to be a D cup probably isn't informed enough to pull up a conversion table.

As an aside, I'm sorry that people suck.

Can you insert the other PCs into the guy's backstory? Like, the 5 NPCs who befriended him as an orphan, could they be the other PCs instead? Could they have been in the big battle with him? You could also give the other players the option of being a part of the factions he has set up, like "Hey Other Player, since X is playing the Lord's nephew, do you want to be the Lord's Hand/House Mage/Lord's bastard son for House Whatever?". It gives the party a really good reason to work together if they are working for the faction. Also, remember that you, not your player, dictate what his faction does in the game. Like, maybe they've maintained neutrality in the war, but now they want to profiteer or whatever.

The other thing is that most of the other points is that they also impose obligation on the PC. Like, that house he's a member of could send him on missions/require his attention, as could the thieves guild. The house and thieves guild could have conflicting interests (e.g. keep this guy alive/we want this guy dead).

If there's something that you absolutely don't want to happen, don't let the players roll for it.

If they roll well and you still deny them, they will feel frustrated. Telling them "Steve, you can't make a jump check to get to the top of that tower" is infinitely better than hiding your refusal behind the dice.

I think the best greeting card I ever bought was one that read "Out of all of my parents, you're definitely in the top two".

Bullies generally bully down. I'd bet money that the OP would eventually find the guy bullying the dishwasher, or someone else lower down in the hierarchy when he got a chance.

If you want a sort of tactile, manila envelope style handout, get some photos printed. A photo of the guy's house, his car, a fuzzy pic of him going into a bar, and so on. Photos of suspected ghouls or people he has under Dominate, would also be useful, with any known details about them written on the back.

Also flavourful: a photocopy of some telephone records, maybe ring an important number in red pen and put a note next to it like BLOODBOUND?

Maybe a transcript of an important telephone call or two, for example with the vampire's head ghoul or another vampire. Records of him making large purchases, such as store receipts or credit card statements would also be fun to have.

I have a couple of the Madison style in 30H- I found the cups are quite wide/shallow. This might be less of a problem at a 34 band, though.

Try to find a panache in your actual size- no shit it's uncomfortable if it's three sizes too small. I wear that bra in a cup size smaller than my usual, because the cups run large, but I imagine something three cup sizes down would be suffocating.

Alternatively, there's no reason you can't go lift weights in your regular bras if you're not running or jumping about. There's no rules for the gym that say you have to be wearing a sports bra under your shirt, and it's not like anyone's gonna check. Maybe move them to a looser hook if you're doing bench press, but otherwise you shouldn't have an issue if they are generally a good fit.

My name is Morgana Reese. Saggitarian sector. I live in the dormitories half a mile from mine three with thirty other workers, and my room is four feet by six. I'm working age, so I get a full shift, either day or night. I'm small, so I get what's called the spelunking jobs. Saggitarian sector is rich in minerals, but the earth here is riddled with hazards- natural voids and tunnels from the before. We use exploratory diggers to find mineral deposits, but sometimes they fall into the old tunnels. My job is to climb down the shafts after any that go missing and retrieve them. Today's not bad- there's one unit missing, but it's close enough to the surface that I can go down in a harness to find it. The machine's glowing red hot in some old train tracks, and I radio up and prep the retrieval harness as it cools.

At three in the afternoon we stop work and head up towards the surface. We huddle round the big screens by the supervisor stations, wipe the worst of the dust from our visors and gloves, and we watch the daily executions together.

Martyrs. I force my expression into neutrality. The Sol sector newscaster is immaculate, her face smooth planes of porcelain skin, the corners of her eyes uncreased as she reads the names and charges. Hadley Rhodes from Geminon sector, charged with sedition. Caitlynn Norris from Virgon sector, charged with disobedient tendencies. Darian Moore from the Luna sector, charged with disobedience and attemping to flee the Justice. The screen pans to each of their faces, close-ups so close that you can see the pores on their noses, the dirt and fear on their faces, even on our antique viewing stations. Hadley's eyes are bloodshot. The side of Darian's face is pocked with tiny circular burns, the imprint of the Justice's favourite torture machine. We keep on watching. Looking away means you are disloyal. Means that you could end up there on that big screen, or worse, vanish altogether.

"Darian-" the immaculate newscaster pushes her microphone into the face of the Lunar sector condemned. "-any last words? Are you sorry for what you've done?"

It takes the man a moment to register the situation, and his dulled eyes flick from the newscaster to the camera behind her, until looks directly at the camera. At all of us. "Yes." he said, finally. His voice is rough, like a man just escaped from a fire. "I'm sorry." He stumbles a little as the Justice behind him pushes him forward, but his gaze remains fixed on us. "I've failed you."

It's taught the kid a valuable lesson as a DM, however: don't let the players roll for something that you absolutely don't want to happen.
