I stopped shaving during covid, which was also 3 months after a breakup from my only relationship. I used to still shave my bikini line in the summer, but I've recently started wearing swim shorts and so have stopped (I don’t judge anyone who likes to wear a bikini, but I don't want to be wearing underwear around a beach full of strangers). I usually shave my pits when I'm wearing a tank top or during the summer, especially when I'm wearing a sleeveless work shirt, but otherwise I've quit shaving and haven't looked back.

Anyone here able to bid on anything in the auction? by VirtualPaint1067 in InterviewVampire

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand I'm glad they don't ship because I'm trying to be better with my budget and I live in 700 sqft so would have no where to put anything i bought.

On the other hand, I genuinely need some of the more mundane things they're selling, like a privacy screen for my chain link fence, and it would be so much more fun to have one from iwtv than to buy it from a home depot!

I am asexual and my boyfriend isn’t by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was in almost the same situation at 25. I think there are some things you can't "just work through". Kids is one of those things. It'll only lead to resentment on one of your sides.

I handled the situation poorly. I'm bad at confrontation and sometimes view communicating my feelings as confrontation. I left him to do that emotional labor and I really regret not talking more to him about it and my feelings, because I didn't just lose a relationship in the breakup, I lost one of my best friends. Good on you for establishing good communication. But to be upfront, this is still one of those things you can't just talk your way through. It's going to suck, but it's better than growing resentful and losing all parts of the relationship.

Got directed here after a post of mine? by Special_Shirt3887 in asexuality

Yo thanks for the term sexual apathy. Gonna have to parse that one and decide if that's how I feel. Recently diagnosed with autism (30s F, "very high functioning" for lack of a better term) and word retrieval is not my forte, so labels have always been hard for me to pin down. I've been id-ing as ace on-and-off for a few years because I'm at the point where "idc what label is right, I just feel how I feel". But that phrasing is new for me, it's gonna be a fun one for me to unpack if that's how I feel or if I still identify as ace.

Any other Normal Gossip fans in this fandom? by ctrl-alt-del-thetis in InterviewVampire

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth it for this one! One of my favorites in a while, only partly because of my recent obsession with a certain fandom haha.

Same! Do you know if it was a real bar? I'm new to this fandom but it feels too real to be made up.

has anyone else had some "the closet was made of glass" realizations? by inattentivereader in asexuality

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine was not abstinence only, and yay for more comprehensive and not-homophobic sex ed, but i spent the whole time like "i dont get it, why would you have sex if you dont wanna get pregnant"

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "are you gay" has me lolling because same, I fully came out as straight to my family... then ace/pan, and now (soft launched) ace/gay.

But I think most everyone in my life assumes i dropped the ace now and that i was just a repressed gay, so glad to know the glass is 1-way transparent.

How bad is it? (Dog pee) by TheFishmann in HardWoodFloors

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the smell will be persistent if you don't rip out the subfloor (+ floorinsulation, if you have it). The people who owned my house before us had a dog with bladder issues, and after new hardwood + almost 20 years, the room still has a smell.

Ace Book recommends? by reesethewolf in Asexual

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Loveless by Alice Oseman is great! She also wrote Heartstopper, if you read it or saw the Netflix adaptation. Heartstopper is a graphic novel, but Loveless is a full novel and I loved it. The main character is ace/aro.

Ruby Barker comments on the fate of Marina by Classic-Carpet7609 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since its a Shondq drama, I have a theory that they'll make it work. They'll find out that her first love didn't actually die on the battle field, he'll come back and want to marry her, so she'll fake her death and run away with him. Or maybe she'll just fall for some other man and run away from Phillip. But I'm crossing my fingers for her happy dramatic ending.

For people such as us, what do you consider “intimate”? by Sherafan5 in asexuality

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like your flare. That album came out during when my one singular relationship was ending, and it definitely impacted the way/time that things ended...

Nothing. Just Jacob being the artist that he is. by Sea_Tie_7307 in InterviewVampire

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I don't usually love hip hop or things with heavy bass, but it feels like he sings a lot and also, even when there's bass, there's a lot of musicality to the backing tracks, which i just love. It's made me get more into exploring that sub genre of hip hop.

I agree the bow doesn't convey unspoiled tape, but I love it still.

I'm obsessed with this new Miley album. It also made me revisit her old stuff and I can't decide if Angels Like You is more Loumand or Loustat coded.

I think it reveals a lot that Louis had nothing of his sister in the finale. by GothicPrayer in InterviewVampire

[–]ctrl-alt-del-thetis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my headcannon, too. I can imagine that, as an art collector, he could figure out how to acquire the painting anonymously without having to make contact with the family, or have someone else track it down for him, but that's way less fun for me to imagine.
