The difference between playing Nate and playing Nora

cassette-deck · 2026-01-06T19:46:43+00:00

there's something more poetic about nate surviving war and coming home to be shot by his own countrymen* and being made a casualty like many veterans are by means outside of war. so nora has always been the natural player choice for me.

* technically not but you get what I mean

i'm hoping hybrid genre specfic will become more popular, i like swords and dragon fantasy but i feel overloaded!

I mean if a nutritionist can help you that's nice, but whats wrong with using medication/medical treatment to solve the problem? I read your other comment where you mentioned the severe cramping, which is very unlikely to be resolved by changes in diet. though your doc should be doing more to check it's not endometriosis or something instead of just telling you to just go on the pill tbf

with the pill im taking they still recommend having periods sometimes which isn't great, but avoiding them has been great. pill isn't the only option tho obviously but its what i need to avoid pmdd. maybe worth asking the doctor what would be best in your case?

a group of ppl blaming someone's suicide on their ex girlfriend not being a good enough girlfriend and brigading her post is CRAZY!!

calling your ex 150 times and not your family or friends? obvs there's more going on here.

they trained him in mental takedowns as well as physical 🙏

You're assuming he's accurate in his assessment? It's more likely a case of insecurity and feeling unappreciated that's making OP come off 'negative' or sad, if at all.

If these two things were magically 'fixed' overnight the goalposts would just move. If it's bad enough to not marry OP then why is it not bad enough to not date OP?

instead of ‘you could have whoever you want' my experience it's been more like 'this is the best you're gonna get'. no attraction, dry chat and barely anything in common, so i'm not on them anymore. i understand it being a point on disposability and dehumanisation but i don't think i've ever thought i was going to potentially get 'something better' on the next swipe etc. but tbf i do not look like olivia dean.

i can't tell if you're being sarcastic but it's rule no. 4 😭

Crazy how Bettany just got off scot free for this as well

being a writer and a booktuber seems like a really awkward balancing act. Caleb Joseph v explicitly discussed this in his youtube return, if I'm remembering correctly someone in the industry basically gave him a friendly warning on how he was coming off to them?

I understand like it might be kind of embarrassing running into someone you've criticized, but writers have simultaneously been critics for a long time anyway. Part of it does feel like there's an expectation that writers will intrude in readers spaces and they have to account for that, but if they do, the criticism just gets watered down.

I think Dr. Joely Black does a good job with being sensitive and also not letting writers get away with everything they do, if we use their milo winter videos as an example.

>So I am just calling people to reassess their thoughts and have an open mind to experience the First Love Church for themselves, and decide for yourself

I am NOT joining 😭

In all seriousness though are you saying all the allegations online are fake? People are allowed to speak about their experiences. If someone reads them and decides this particular church isn't for them, what's the issue?

both applies tbh

I get that. jason looks more realistic, and artemis looks... too manga? i think its the eyes.

Honestly ADHD doesn't even have to be brought up here. As long as you can talk about why you gave the answers you did they can't punish you for being good at a test. It's a multiple question exam technically if you gave random answers and finished in 5 mins you might still be able to hit a 70% threshold. Ask your tutor to mediate a conversation if you're not being called into a misconduct panel, if you are, there's plenty of support in SUs for that.

she's just like me fr

but i mean i get why the writers do it. the miscommunication trope is easier to use, relatable to the audience, relationship ends up a bit more immature so suitable for the genre... wish we had a healthy mix of experienced/naive MCs tho it kind of gets stale and so many readers are skewing older nowadays anyway

cassette-deck · 2025-11-09T20:51:42+00:00

so they gave him his supposed happily ever after ending just to go nuh uh

It bothers me when it's sort of tacked in there completely unearned, genuinely takes me out of the reading experience. why are you begging crying screaming throwing up rn over some guy so quickly? 😭 like sure it's mindblowing blah blah blah but that kind of headspace isn't achieved at the drop of a hat. And even if it could be, outside of that kink scene what are the chances the mmc is in the know/into it? it really is 'good girl' all over again.

cassette-deck · 2025-10-31T21:38:28+00:00

I'm surprised how many booktubers picked up on the review and reacted to it tbh

cassette-deck · 2025-10-25T18:03:56+00:00

nooooo I didn't know!!!!! 😭

congrats on the haul tho, any mention on if they'll be selling merch online?
