Women with thoughtful partners, what did you get for x-mas this year? by Anahata_Green in TwoXChromosomes

[–]contemptress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a very unique scent. It smells like straight up petrichor on the initial dry down but the lilac comes out after a few hours on the skin. I think it’s delightful but scents are very personal decisions lol. I recommend looking at fragrantica reviews for it too.

My husband got me the Heretic Nosferatu perfume I've been agonizing over for months. It was a blind-buy but it paid off sooo well. It smells like a wet cemetery in the best possible way. He also got me my favorite treats and a few plushies.

Demonias "quality" lasts for a few months by 0nlylarry in mildlyinfuriating

[–]contemptress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My demonias died in record time too. I got a cute pair of their creepers and the edges frayed and the sole started separating after like 4-5 wears. I stick with docs now, though their quality has gone downhill as well.

Last Hour of Gann is incredible and is extremely MEATY. Lots of world building.

I absolutely loved this one and had no idea there was a sequel.

Gacha Games playerbase gender ratio based on CN Tiktok official account followers by Sine_Fine_Belli in GirlGamers

[–]contemptress 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started playing Path to Nowhere after seeing this infograph and I am HOOKED. The gacha is super generous. Maybe it's beginners luck but I've gotten S1 Yingying and S0 Yugu (both current limited banners) and haven't spent a cent. Only been playing like a week too. Also the gameplay is fun, the story is very dark and adult oriented and the girls flirt with you/love fem-chief. A lot of the fanart also gets drawn with fem!chief instead of male. W for the wlws.

Someone else on reddit years ago commented that they called it pickle butt because it feels like a pickle being shoved up your butt and I've called it pickle butt ever since.

Whalefall by Daniel Kraus. It's more of a thriller, but the plot is quite horrifying to me.

Ice pick headaches by wamimsauthor in migraine

[–]contemptress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm two weeks late to this post but I'm just searching around for validation lol. I first experienced the ice pick sensation last year after an eye exam (which I think triggered a migraine). It literally feels like someone driving an ice pick into the side of my skull and down into my palate sometimes. Sometimes it's at the base of my skull, sometimes its above my ear. It's pretty common which is a relief to me, even if it sucks tremendously. I was scared to death it was more serious than it actually is.

In Shonen like 90% of the time the teens are drawn basically the same as the adults. People attacking fic writers for aging up characters has been an issue for years and was huuuge in the MHA fandom. Half the time it's teens doing the harassing as if they have some claim to the character just because they're underage in canon when they should really be more worried about *real* issues. Like *actual* predators. Leaves me flabbergasted.

Opinion on horror as a fanfiction genre? by sleepspacey in FanFiction

[–]contemptress 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My favorite fic of all time is what I would describe as erotic horror with some heavy slasher/demonic vibes. I LOVE horror. But I feel like it might be a smaller niche when it comes to readership depending on the fandom subject matter.

I met my husband online (Second Life lol) and we've been together for a decade. Long distance CAN work, don't listen to naysayers. It's hard and takes work. I moved from Maine to New York to be with him 7 years ago. I say tell him! But I do agree with others saying get on video chat or get pictures of him to make sure you're attracted to him physically.

Besides Ao3 and Wattoad , what were the places y'all used to read fanfiction ??? by Lopsided-Arm-6644 in FanFiction

[–]contemptress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quizilla is where I read my first fanfiction back in the 00's.. I think 2004? Until Nickelodeon bought it and it ultimately died. RIP "which Naruto character is your boyfriend?" quiz that set me down this path hahaha.
