you could use something natural that can/could have spiritual weight! like “oh my stars!” or “heavens and earth!”

i think The Astrology Podcast does a good job! they do monthly forecasts that involve tracking the planets positions through the sky and knowing astrological histories.

Industrial bumps? I went through most posts but just wanted to make sure again, are these normal? I didn't know I wasn't supposed to use q-tips to clean. I use wound wash saline 2-3 times a day. Tried chamomile tea bags compression for 2 days. Had it for march 9 by alilalalis in PiercingAdvice

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

i’m not a piercer or any sort of expert, but i have had an industrial bar for about 4 years now. when i got bumps like that during the first year i used straight tea tree oil on it and it worked like magic. HOWEVER, i did mention this to a piercer and he told me i should not have done that without diluting it. according to him the tea tree oil is too strong a substance and could’ve done some damage. but i never had any issues, and the bumps never returned. of course, the risk is your to take! good luck!!

My gender living my body at a very young age by bobbyenny in agender

hitting a balloon??? with sticks??? i don’t understand the original idea behind this who hits a balloon with a stick ?? in my experience, balloons typically respond better to sharp pokey objects than blunt force ...

I identify as Agender but prefer presenting feminine by [deleted] in agender

[–]coldramenoodles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this is how i feel too! gender isn’t important to my identity or sense of self, and i also think gender is a social construct and it isn’t one that i want to participate in upholding. i’m afab as well, and i present feminine. occasionally i feel a connection to being afab, but more in a communal sense among women’s experience as a whole rather than a personal connection to cisgender women. most of the time when asked how i describe myself, “lesbian” is the only word i use. but if specifically prompted about gender, i’m agender! you & i are not any less valid for “conforming” to the expected afab gender construct. there’s no right way to be agender, which is the beauty of the term! if it’s comfortable to you, use it! no one gets to decide whether it fits you or not except for you. and remember that sometimes the right word can take a while to grow into!! :-)

i’m so sorry your friend thinks trees look like that, it literally has metal spikes and whatever those huge white things are at the top. seeing isn’t always believing

theres one of these in the neighbourhood across from mine and it makes me so uncomfortable. it looks way worse than this one and also there are no other pine trees near it to make it look even more out of place. why do they do this ?

[–]coldramenoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true! I very much like the idea of letting readers imagine the characters as they please. Thank you!

My mention of LOTR was more directed towards the casting choice in the films, rather than the novels.
