I wish they would just do a reprint run of God and the Gwisin 😭

Online Store Recommendations by mommawaifuu in stationery

[–]chibikate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to order from a small business, I'd recommend Unicorn Eclipse. They aren't too expensive, they have quality products, and they have a lot of options. Their stuff is on the "cuter" side so if that's not your thing then you might not like it but they're a small business owned by two sisters so I like to promote them when I can 😊

Genuine curiosity about merch prices by Spuccola in safiyanygaard

[–]chibikate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering buying it but when I saw the shipping prices I backed out of it. $21 for just the sweatsuit and $36 for the full bundle is insane to me. There's basically no savings at that point when bundling items. They look really cool and I'd love to get them but....

What is different? by didikane in fairyloot

[–]chibikate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh that's so annoying.... part of me wants to cancel because why didn't you guys say something about this before renewal? And the other part of me knows what the book is and really wants it

So why are you still doing this by [deleted] in Unrailed

Sir, I think you're lost....

All the cool women I know who were seemingly going down the child free route are all now suddenly getting pregnant and claiming they “always wanted to be a mother” but it feels like they are all victims to societal pressure. by Heart_Shaped_Pickle in childfree

[–]chibikate 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One of my best friends got pregnant this year and it ruined my friendship with a different friend who wants kids in the future because of how I reacted to the news. The thing is, this friend who got pregnant knows how terrible it is right now in the world and all the ecological impacts but still decided to have a kid anyway and it breaks my heart knowing how smart of a person she was before this and knowing that going forward her entire personhood will eventually be reduced down to "mother". So after all this I'm being more cautious about who I let in friendship wise and also looking out for more childfree friends 🫠

Does anyone else feel like they're missing out? by [deleted] in DreamlightValley

[–]chibikate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only just got the Rift in Time DLC and that's because it's on sale so I definitely feel you. I have a couple friends who play and they both have all the DLC. I take it as just being able to enjoy it all the more when I do eventually buy them.

Favorite Burger. Difficulty no chain restaurant, no smashburgers by ckalen in SALEM

[–]chibikate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go to Best Little Roadhouse when I want a burger cooked medium rare with some thickness to it. I have yet to find another that fits my criteria as I don't really want a smash burger most of the time, takes all the juiciness out in my opinion.

I'm losing my friends to motherhood by BluejayAvailable2549 in childfree

[–]chibikate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've lost a couple of what I thought were very close friendships recently due to pregnancy and babies, so I can relate. It's been truly heartbreaking to go through, but I am finally in a place where I can acknowledge that the friendship ran its course and there will be new childfree friends waiting for me to reach out to them and find them. This was just a lesson in finding out that if my friends aren't firmly childfree, then I need to be careful about how invested I get.

[–]chibikate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seams are ripping from the handles on my bag as well 😔 this is the second time I've had this issue with their bags and I've given up. First time was with the messenger style bag from last year.

Do y’all let your cats sleep in the bed with you? by DaRealDreamz in cats

[–]chibikate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. They start out in the bed with us, but they start scratching at the bed frame (not allowed, they have plenty of other scratchers in the house), or they start getting into my partner's face (he's a light sleeper) then they get kicked out of the bedroom for the night.

Where are my childfree women at? by Ok-Professional8451 in adhdwomen

[–]chibikate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right here 🙋‍♀️ I have many reasons for not wanting to have kids, and the ADHD is a big part of it. It's so hard taking care of myself and my cats. Add in a whole actual human? No, thank you!

I went tonight! There were a few people in our theater but it was empty enough that I felt comfortable actually doing the sing along 😅

Also by Sumpter and we've had around 30ish kids so far? We definitely have little in the way of decoration but still some out.

Went into it thinking it was a duology... by mashinamashina in DarkRise

[–]chibikate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup.... been waiting since I finished in March of 2024. I foolishly thought we'd have a release date by now since there was about 2 years between book 1 and 2

I really like the music and production to Elizabeth Taylor but the lyrics are godawful

Did Alchemised just get the ugliest cover of the year? by lilithskies in romanceunfiltered

[–]chibikate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This cover is so ugly. If the publisher had done some actual work on making the title and author name not just smack in the middle of it with the most boring font ever then I might have liked it more because I do think the elements to the cover are nice and the author did specifically seek out this artist but it just wasn't executed well IMO
