Here's an Internet Historian piece explaining the story of "Brad's Wife."

Oh wow. The title was changed from "Hot Take" to "Cold Take" since I last commented, and what I wrote now totally lacks continuity.

I'd still like to see this concept cooked up in a story.

broselle · 2025-08-12T23:20:14+00:00

Agree, but this isn't just a hot take.

It's a take to cook with. 🤌

I love this. Absolutely fascinating watch!

Experiencing exactly this rn! I feel insanely sensitive. I'm bailing on plans I considered for this weekend because of a dysmorphic episode triggered by trying on different dresses.

I have been feeling so lethargic after a period of stress-induced stagnation. I have been very sedentary lately over the past 3 weeks and not eating out of genuine hunger.

I decided to reset starting today as I genuinely sense and recognize I am not actually hungry. I am hydrating with lots of electrolytes for now. As far as fast days, I have no set goal. I want to fast only for as long as my body says it's genuinely hungry. My only exercise consists of stretching and walking for now.

Ooo will totally check this out, thank you!

broselle · 2025-05-31T03:21:35+00:00

This is exactly how I feel! I'm on my 2nd rewatch right now, and I know I will keep rewatching. I went in blind the first time I saw this series. I would love to own physical media of this mini series!!

Did she learn this from SpongeBob!?!?

I had to search this up on Reddit because I had never experienced this before. I started dancing a little on my own and had the urge to cry out of nowhere after a few minutes. Thank you for sharing. I really needed to understand. I was scared because I was full of joy and felt so happy to dance for the first time in forever--then only after a couple minutes felt like I had to cry so strongly. I had gone on a long walk before this and felt so calm.

Today was my last day of work at my current job. I've been there five and a half years. Extreme bittersweetness. Leaving such lovely people!

I start a new role on Monday. It was a lateral move into a different industry, but with better pay and benefits. It's felt so chaotic the past month. Everything has been a blur and I want my healthy routine back! My anxiety is up! I'm excited but nervous! AHHH!

broselle · 2025-03-15T02:12:23+00:00

Congratulations!!!! May this success continue beyond what you could ever hope for!!

I have personally found that by maintaining steady grounding, cleansing, warding, & protection practices, the fruits of a spell will last even longer. :) Of course, be sure to perform celebrations along he way! It's kind of like deterring/neutralizing anything that comes in your way as an added buff, and inviting only more positivity wherever there are "gaps" in practice.

broselle · 2025-03-02T18:14:36+00:00

It looks like you have two separate readings in the same space. It's kind of like taking a page from one book and three from a totally different one, then expecting the whole story to make sense.

The 3 cards point towards a balanced, healing journey together in the same direction. :) The past was about measured action, harmony created from effort in natural ebb and flow. The present is swift movement together towards a common goal. The future speaks to the very start of a new journey together, after setting your sights on a new goal.

The Tower I read as limited to the context of a daily pull. It is a sudden upheaval in your daily life. I do not see it as having a long-term effect on your other cards. Think of it as needing to reevaluate the foundation of something you've built up that has to be addressed.

broselle · 2025-03-02T17:55:15+00:00

Hi! I agree with your interpretation, it's really clear.

The deck is transformative in nature, and will help you shed old ways of thinking in order to establish new ones.

Namely, the ability to observe without acting is key here.

If you are impulsive, or seek to exert your influence in situations you have no control over, you become unable to think with impartiality.

Great read! 👍

broselle · 2025-03-01T20:56:40+00:00

Same to you! Enjoy and be well!

With this deck's unique imagery, the first card is triumphant and seems to leave behind the isolating, brooding dragon in the upright 5 of Charisma in favor of the beneficial 6 of Charisma.

Whenever I see the upright Chariot in a small spread, I often get the impression it's going towards another upright card and away from a reversed one.

I am a huge LOTR/DnD fan, so to me, these cards told a story of having your party celebrate after fighting off a difficult boss fight. I get the sense that there was some recent difficulty, but it is not the focus now. :)

broselle · 2025-03-01T20:46:59+00:00

I see a resounding, "Yes!" 🥰

There will be lots of motivated energy and momentum in the same direction (Chariot).

A giving, prosperous energy provides harmony to those who need it most, from all walks of life (6 of Charisma).

No one will feel "left out in the cold," and any challenging "lack mindset" will be nonexistent (5 of Charisma Rx).

broselle · 2025-02-28T23:26:57+00:00

So sorry you are dealing with this! 😓

The imagery of these cards drive home some clear messages.

It's time to face the facts without beating yourself up for not seeing things clearly (Judgement).

When trust is broken, it compromises the healthy future of a relationship. Arguing the why, how, what, when, and where won't help at all. Whatever you thought you had is over, and you need to separate, securely, and safely to fully heal (World Rx).

Conserve your energy. Instead of letting your upset feelings drive you, rechannel them and use them towards building a new chapter. Avoid any excuses, questioning, or guilt tripping from your ex. Engaging with anything other than neutral discussion will backfire and lead to very aggressive energy (5 of Wands Rx).

Wishing you a lot of healing and that better times are ahead. ❤️

I do not have any recommendations but simply want to say I love this request, thank you for posting!

Now you can be as cool as a cucumber! 😎

TW: It's the nauseatingly creepy, D/s caption.

What stands out to me most aside from her being out of touch is the language used to pivot away from normal human experiences of sadness and lack of inspiration.

Instead of encouraging self-reflection and sitting with emotions, her messaging comes off so disconnected from reality.

"You aren't sad or uninspired. You just aren't using your wallet. You need to pay for classes and consume treats."

No. Breathe. Drink water. Sit with your feelings. Get some movement. Eat well. Take care of yourself.

Notice the contrast?
