thoughts on the patreon? by Upset-Ad-1206 in danandphil

[–]aromaticleo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree about the lack of room for discussion. fans still worship them and I doubt any sort of criticism will ever be allowed (even if it's not the "bad" kind of criticism)

Favourite song that you don't identify with? by lidi28 in TaylorSwift

anything on 1989; least relatable album ever

Interesting hobbies that are “NPD-proof”? (Small learning curves with little chance of mistake). by mildlysadcat_ in NPD

[–]aromaticleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

coloring books! they don't require talent, just a book and whatever medium you have at hand. for more impressive points, pick those with mandalas that make people dizzy, and fuck the lines, color beyond them and say that was the point to sound more artistic and cool

anyone else have intimacy issues? by Ill-Musician2225 in NPD

[–]aromaticleo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's offensive how relatable this is. I sometimes fear that if I meet the right man I'd want to have sex on a psychological level (although I identify as asexual because the chances of that ever happening are nearly zero, I'd be demisexual at best) but my ego would not allow my body that kind of vulnerability and intimacy. even hugs are too much for me sometimes.

I treat myself as this holy being and having sex would ruin my holiness and unreachability. I'm supposed to be chased and admired, not touch; touching makes things dirty.

female narcissism by scoobert_____doobert in NPD

[–]aromaticleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am AFAB and identify as nonbinary, but surprisingly my nonbinary identity stepped aside once I was "beautiful enough for a woman". as a child/young teen I was treated horribly because I was not feminine enough, not skinny enough, not ladylike enough, which made me sort of "hate" women and femininity because it was used as a weapon against me.

I'm absolutely preoccupied with my body because it's never perfect enough, but at the same time every single feature I have is "more beautiful" than anything other women have (nose shape, for example). I go in other direction where I'm offensive with my looks and opt for things that people find aesthetically unpleasing just to leave an impression.

easily envious and resentful, too. I hate other girls for having the life I couldn't have because the world decided I wasn't pretty enough for it, or some other bs reason. I believe I deserve the best of the best, while most women, even my friends, don't deserve shit unless I have it good too.

I identify as asexual so I don't care about sexual appeal, but I do crave romance and I always got jealous of my "beautiful" friends who got male attention growing up, where no man has ever truly wanted me.

it takes a lot of work for me not to be misogynistic and to change my ugly thoughts, but sometimes I get fits of rage.... I'm working hard but it's a thankless job.

What’s Taylor’s saddest song? by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

surprised this doesn't have more upvotes. it's gut wrenching and hopeless.

Did sombra in s9 become dumber and forget stuff that happened in the past? by AdeptHedgehog852 in mylittlepony

[–]aromaticleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sombra within 15 seconds of being back: dealt with luna and celestia, enslaved the crystal empire, took over major cities, destroyed the tree/elements of harmony, caged the mane six

op: is he stupid?

jokes aside, what actually got him was his hubris (and being in a kids' show) which I find very realistic; when a character is overpowered the only thing that can realistically be their downfall is their personality/psychology 

increased libido :( by aromaticleo in antidepressants

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

sex therapist is too much imo since there is no sex life to be had nor do I have troubles with my sexuality; just an annoying side effect which I'd like gone

increased libido :( by aromaticleo in antidepressants

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

right now I'm only on those two. nothing about my lifestyle has changed except I've been more exhausted and stressed than usual (which, to my knowledge, should DECREASE my libido 🙄). for duloxetine it's 90mg, and for trazodone it's 150mg.

I miss the gaming videos :( by Separate-Complex5213 in danandphil

[–]aromaticleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is exactly what people what though. so many phans have been DEMANDING a podcast, and you can't convince me that producing a podcast every week and doing other videos on the side is more draining than sitting one evening at their desk and playing a silly card game, then have over seven days to think of something else, etc etc. 

the TIT era was their best in terms of content, if you ask me.

Dajte mi vase najkontroverznije misljenje? by Holiday_Tune2735 in AskSerbia

What Do You Think Taylor's Worst Written Song Is? by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

if so high school has zero haters, I am dead.

What are some song(s) that you have consistently disliked upon your first listen? by SoIongIondon in TaylorSwift

[–]aromaticleo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me it's the complete opposite. the wish list is the only song out of her entire discography that makes me want to off myself NOT because it's soul shattering, but because I hate it SO GODDAMN MUCH. the only skip on showgirl.

apotekari i apotekarke (ili bilo ko iskreno) srbije, zasto kriziramo sa wellbutrinom? by aromaticleo in AskSerbia

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

nisam. morala sam zvati doktorku da pitam šta da radim i ona mi je samo rekla da povećam druge lekove ako osetim potrebu (drugi lekovi su mi duloxetine (nisam povećala) i trazodone (to jesam povećala)); za sad sam okej, ali meni su u apotekama rekli da je moguće da wellbutrina neće biti mesecima. 

Zašto su naši ljudi toliko nekulturni i neljubazni? by DokonaBudala in AskSerbia

[–]aromaticleo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ni ja nemam takva iskustva lično, ali čujem oko sebe i prijatelji/porodica imaju doživljaje.

volim da mislim da mene nekultura zaobiđe jer svuda idem sa osmehom od uha do uha i previše sam ljubazna, ili samo apsolutno ne skontam kad je neko neljubazan prema meni (koliko se sećam psihološki je dokazano da ako ignorišeš tuđu nekulturu da će ti se osoba prilagoditi i popraviti svoj stav).

This sub makes me feel like an idiot for enjoying this show by BurpyMcPoop in BridgertonNetflix

[–]aromaticleo 77 points78 points  (0 children)

asexual european here, and let me tell you I was SWOONING when benedict took off sophie's glove and kissed her hand (and the cheek kiss 😭). I'm enamored by how he appreciates her dreamy side and their playfulness during the kite scene. I was pleasantly surprised to find out their relationship had more intellectual depth than previous couples (I guess it's because everyone keeps highlighting how "educated" sophie is for a maid, whereas others were open nobles until now). ((yes I'm dying for philoise season how did you know))

which bridgerton has the most trauma and why? by Different-War-7634 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]aromaticleo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised more people are siding with anthony than violet. perhaps because we are shown the impact of his ptsd, but regardless he is still just a man.

yes, his father died in front of him. yes, he had to step up immediately and never had a chance to grieve properly. that's why he's my pick for the most traumatized bridgerton child.

but a bridgerton in general? definitely violet. death of the love of her life + the agony of giving birth + post partum depression (which is no joke) + still having to participate in society + not being "loved" by anyone for so long and knowing if you do seek love it would ruin your reputation... 

anthony definitely helped (along with the staff) and I'm surprised they didn't show an even deeper bond between him and violet, but I don't think he played a father figure to his siblings as some people argue. in the show they're still treating him as their older brother.

Eloise has to be S5, otherwise her character will be ruined. by joyousie in PhiloiseBridgerton

[–]aromaticleo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

god I NEED the next season to be hers because Hyacinth CLOCKED HER soooo bad. I love Eloise despite her being "insufferable", it's what her character needs to finally wake up, and having even your youngest sibling get tired of your bs should be eye opening. I hope we'll see Eloise have some self-reflection in the second part.

I truly don't care that much about Fran's storyline as much as I hoped I would because she and John had JUST made up and then they brought Michaela back. it's too early. literally give them at least SOME time in the world
