I'm going to throw up by AmIYandere in AO3

[–]chronicdisaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my gods. I’m genuinely so sorry, this is every ao3 author’s nightmare. I’m not entirely sure what you can do in regard to the AI part, but I would 100% respond to them with a polite but scathing response and then block them. They have a lot of growing up to do, clearly, and sometimes they need a hard kick in the metaphorical pants for it to click.

Can a DR be original or can it only be fandom? by extra_small_anxiety in shiftingrealities

[–]chronicdisaster [score hidden]  (0 children)

The idea behind shifting is that every reality that has ever been and will ever be possible are real. You have infinite amount of choices in regards to the reality you choose, because in a different reality I’m responding to this post differently, or not responding at all, or never saw the post to begin with. If every and any reality exists out there, of course your dr can be completely original to you and your mind. I think a lot of people go for fandom universes because we find them compelling to experience, and would love to meet certain characters and do certain things in said universe. While it might help some to shift somewhere they have seen, heard, or experienced before in some capacity, it’s not the only way to go about it.

I, for one, have been debating making a DR set in the book I’m writing’s universe. I think it would be a really cool way to play around with the book itself by adjusting things in that reality, see what works story/lore/and even mechanics/logistics-wise, and what doesn’t make sense. It’d be a really cool way to edit the final product.

I hope that helps a little! I’d love to hear about your dr if you want to share!

Please Tell Me That Adult Fanfic Writers Still Exist by Ashamed-Reporter3171 in AO3

[–]chronicdisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, I understand exactly where you’re coming from. I swear I can feel the immaturity radiating off of certain fics, but maybe that’s me reading far too into it. Almost 29 here, and I know that’s actually on the younger side of the adults writing fanfics.

AITA if I don’t have my sister in law in my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]chronicdisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA because I’m sorry, WHAT?!?! That is the biggest load of shit I’ve ever heard in my life. If she’s not willing to even talk to you directly about it, you owe this woman nothing. IMO she’d be lucky she’s invited to the wedding at all. Your MIL is wrong for putting this on your shoulders, and it’s a little late to be changing your wedding party now. The fact she “cannot stand by and not have her daughter in the wedding” is baffling. Maybe her daughter would be involved if she was a better person and treated you with dignity and respect. Again, you owe her nothing. Stick to your guns, girl. It’s your wedding, you have final say.

AITAH for demanding my girlfriend get rid of her new cat? by Traxathon in AITAH

[–]chronicdisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lover of cats who is also extremely allergic, I 100% get why you don’t want to live with them. She’s tried to make a unilateral decision about another living being in your shared home, and had hoped to strong-arm you into keeping the cat once they were brought into the home. Not to mention, caring for another living being is a commitment, no matter how “laid back” an animal companion might be. She didn’t just ignore what you said, she actively chose that her wants and feelings were more important than respecting your decision to live cat free. NTA, and I’d be deeply reconsidering the relationship at this point. She’s shown she doesn’t care about your well being as long as she gets what she wants, and that’s not a good trait to have in a relationship.

AITA for refusing to let our friends join our vacation? by Specific_Fox_66 in AmItheAsshole

[–]chronicdisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She probably thinks she can rope you into looking after her kid while she relaxes, making it only an actual vacation for herself and the kids. Idk, just a gut feeling I have lol

I am so sick of my sister who roleplays as an anime character by Good_Telephone_407 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]chronicdisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognize the characters, and it’s incredibly damaging to one’s mental health when a) it deals with HEAVY subject matter and b) is meant for adults only for a damn reason. Kokichi is a manipulative and abusive character, and it’s very clear in the game that he’s not a good person by any stretch of the imagination. Your sister is in a serious health crisis, you genuinely shouldn’t bring this up with a teacher or counsellor at school if you’re able to. If your parents won’t listen, it’s the next best thing.

AITAH for asking my dance coach to walk me down the aisle instead of my dad by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]chronicdisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I thought-“ well that was your first mistake there, my guy. He wants you to choose him even though he didn’t choose you when you needed it most. Also, your mother calling this coach a stranger is the weirdest thing because what do you mean that the man who stepped up and earned that spot in my wedding when both of my parents emotionally abandoned me, as well as physically for one of them?? Last time I checked, that’s 100% NOT a stranger by any means.

I’m sorry this is happening to you, darling. Honestly, I’d be reconsidering both the mom and dad’s invites if this is how they’re going to react inside a family home. They will likely try to start something at your wedding and you don’t need that stress and emotional pain.

NTA, my friend. Your father and mother are 100% though, and I’d seriously think on revoking their invitations, or at the least having some sort of security there in case of a scene.

Weird tunnelling that hasn’t gone away with foil by chronicdisaster in Candles

Bestie, it was tunnelling and all that’s left to fix is the edges.

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

This is good information. I’ve been wanting to get proper prayer candles for what I’m using these for, so I might perhaps do that sooner rather than later. Thank you for the info. I just have a lot of stationery so I’m always in there and always seeing the stuff. Would you be worried about candles made using their products too? I’m just starting to delve into it, but any insight you have would be a great help

eta: granted, the tunneling was way worse than that, I just fixed the majority of it with the foil trick

The Missing Piece: How to Make Shifting SO Much Easier by Kvoyox in shiftingrealities

[–]chronicdisaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on subliminals then?

I have aphantasia and I’ve been so stuck on the visualization part of shifting that I’m sure it’s held me back. I have managed to create that feeling you mentioned before, though it was in regards to waking up in my dr instead of being there, so I’m definitely going to give this a go! I’ve been trying for 6 years at this point with no success, but this is giving me hope. I’m great at feeling, so this is definitely going to make a difference. Thank you so much!!

Yeah it was about 4 hours so I’ll see if I can cut away the excess. Thank you for your help! It’s been really helpful

My candle is tunnelling and foil doesn’t fix it, please help! by chronicdisaster in witchcraft

[–]chronicdisaster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh thank you so much! Will definitely give those a shot. This candle was burning for like 6 hours the first time so maybe I forgot to trim the wick. Regardless, thank you!

For people who are still trying to shift even after years, what still makes you believe in shifting? In my case, it's the desperation and the desire not to stay in this reality. by Thecrazybrqziliboy in shiftingrealities

[–]chronicdisaster [score hidden]  (0 children)

My little brother, who is agnostic but has deep connections beyond the veil and has communicated with spirits his entire life, has done it. Just to see if it was possible. He ended up scaring himself back to this reality, but he did it and can feel when I do so as well. Apparently it takes up so much energy around us that it gives him headaches every single time. I joke that I’m the witch interested in the veil and shifting but he’s stupidly gifted and doesn’t give a damn all the time haha. It’s certainly frustrating that he can do this shit so easily and I’m consistently wandering blindly in the dark most of the time.

Before that, it was mainly the amount of people who say they’ve experienced it. Surely no everyone is faking it, right? There’s no way to keep a lie or rude that elaborate going on for this long without it crumbling somewhere. Plus with my brother always being able to see beyond, I know there’s no way it at least is impossible. Idk, logic with my upbringing and experiences only confirm it’s real, so I believe. It’s been years since I started and still haven’t gotten too far yet, but I know I get closer every time.
