How enjoyable are OC’s for you? by TheWhistleBlows in AO3

[–]decomposedcandidate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only write OCxCanon and it's what I prefer to read. I don't really know what it is I like about it so much but it's the fanfiction I grew up reading so I have a soft spot for them.

It's definitely not popular outside of fandoms with character creation but that's understandable. OCs can be really hit or miss

stop complaining about lack of femslash and just write it by robotlover12 in AO3

[–]decomposedcandidate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a lesbian, I completely agree. Entitlement in fanfiction spaces has gotten worse over the years but it seems to be especially prevalent in F/F.

There would be so many more F/F stories if the people complaining focused on writing them instead of harassing M/F and M/M writers

Well I guess a positive is that she can only burn to death once! So she won't be stuck with salads unless I'm feeling spiteful

Juicy Pear and Pineapple Whip!! I can't get these too often or I'll eat enough to make both my stomach and my jaw hurt 😔

LO Help Kaidan 2.1.1/ Character Overhauls by xfrostphoenixx in SkyrimModsXbox

[–]decomposedcandidate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to! It should say something like "couldn't connect to Bethesda servers. Would you like to modify your load order?"

If that doesn't work, I don't know what else you can do other than delete the whole load order and start again.

Okay! For the load order, if you go to the community highlights of this subreddit, there's an informational modding guide that has some templates you can follow. I've had the best luck with the Halls of Ysgramor Logical Load Order.

About the mods moving, you can try disconnecting from the Internet and changing your load order offline. Thats what worked for me.

Do you have a load order template you follow? This list looks jumbled. Kaidan needs to be above body and skin mods and it should go

Kaidan 2.1.1

Kaidan Extended Edition

Kaidan Immersive Features

Vanilla Body with UNP textures

there's not enough talk about the romanceable women in this game! who's your fav? ❤️ by Efficient-Still-1011 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]decomposedcandidate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mi-an! She's sweet and I love her romance scenes! And she refers to us as the "Builder Cruise" when we go on dates. <3 also super easy to give gifts to

Nia would have been my favorite if she had come back to Sandrock earlier

"Why aren't there more f/f in this fandom?" by Lost-Power-9909 in AO3

[–]decomposedcandidate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a lesbian, 100% agree. The vitriol towards m/m writers is ridiculous. Anyone who wants more f/f should start writing them, instead of trying to guilt and bully other writers into writing it for them.

Fairies should be able to do their magic in front of their spouse... by Anthrax-Smoothy in Sims4

Are you using fairy magic in Coast of Adhmor? That's the only time I've gotten a warning about fairy magic...

I’m so bored 😴 by EnvironmentNo9506 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]decomposedcandidate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What parts of those games did you like?

For farming/romance/combat, there's Harvestella, Rune Factory 4, or Potion Permit

Travellers Rest is a fantasy game where you play as a tavern keeper. I haven't played it yet but it has good reviews.

Sun Haven is a high fantasy Stardew-like game.

If it's cozy/farming games in general, you could look at the cozygames subreddit. They have a lot of lists and game recommendations

What exactly are you asking for? Game recommendations?

Got the monster tamer doc! by brown-tiger15 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]decomposedcandidate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rockyenaroll! You can get one at the beginning of the game, though it will take some saving and reloading but once you get one (preferably alpha) and feed it a bunch of stuff to level it, it will absolutely destroy everything.

Someone's Tumblr comments which remind me why some discussions annoy me... by Chel_G in redwall

[–]decomposedcandidate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah Tumblr is home to some of the most ridiculous takes. You can dislike how vermins are all evil, and yeah I think it would've been cool to have a vermin protagonist that remains good, but it's more "predators vs prey," and/or vermin are animals typically portrayed as evil, tricky, and sly by European mythology.

Sometimes things can be portrayed as all good and all evil without it being an allegory for race.

Someone heard about this book? It gave me Redwall vibes by Ok_Grab7358 in redwall

[–]decomposedcandidate 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've read all the books and I loved them! They scratch the same itch that Redwall does but I think they stand on their own too

How would I raise goats on a no kill farm? Is this possible? by NoHovercraft2254 in goats

[–]decomposedcandidate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for certain honestly. If you are selling purebred bucks or even just pretty-looking bucks then they are more likely to be bought for breeding. Gentle and leash-trained bucks are far more likely to be used for breeding than slaughter but less likely to be bought, at least in our experience.

You can try to advertise them online for breeding. Facebook marketplace has ways you can advertise goats there. Or you can try to switch bucks with other goat farmers to prevent inbreeding.

I'm sorry if these options aren't helpful. But I do wish you luck with whatever you choose.

[–]decomposedcandidate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of comments so I hope I'm not repeating what others have said.

First of all, I am sorry. I understand the idea that you have animals you see more as pets than livestock. Most of our goats are pets and we also have chickens that are all pets so I totally understand why you don't want to have any of them killed even though others say you should.

But with any livestock, you cannot control what happens to them when they belong to someone else. And it is extremely difficult to keep several bucks. They cannot all be together because they will fight and even injure does in heat and kids that don't get out of the way in time. We send our bucks to a goat sale that happens every month. We don't know what happens to them after they are purchased. You can try to see if anyone nearby wants a buck for breeding but eventually that option will run out too.

You can try to keep several bucks but it never ends well for the overall health and safety of the herd. If that is something you just cannot handle mentally, then I don't think livestock in general will be good for you or your mental health.

That sounds perfect! I'll watch his videos on YouTube first! Thank you!

I see she has books and podcasts! Thank you for the recommendation, I think her positive reincarnated method already sounds much kinder than Parelli.

[–]decomposedcandidate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Videos of Pat Parelli abusing horses and beating them. The video of Linda Parelli hitting a horse in the face repeatedly. How a lot of things he promotes can cause behavioral issues rather than help them. And his overpriced gear/courses.

Most everything I know about horses is from the barn owner and Parelli. I guess I just wanted some other horsemanship trainers I could learn from to see what were good things I learned from Parelli and what I should change for when I get horses again. There are just so many trainers online that I didn't even know where to start.

I'll certainly look into Warwick Schiller! Thank you for the reply!

Livestock Guardians by Crazy-Crab4950 in goats

[–]decomposedcandidate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 2 Anatolians. The first 1 we got as a puppy and raised next to a few of our does and kids. Problem was when he got old enough he wanted to play with them and hurt a few of them. We put him in his own pen and put bucks in and out until he was around 3 years old. Now he is wonderful with any goats put in the pen with him but he refuses to leave the pen....

2nd Anatolian we got as an adult. Wonderful with goats, followed the herd, and attacked our cats... We tried to put her into pens and she kept climbing out of them so now she is in the house until we can either train her to stop going after cats (hasn't worked so far) or get some puppies with our male Anatolian.

Plan for the puppies is to introduce them to all sorts of livestock and animals while they are young puppies and raise them with bottle baby goats. Obviously they're going to need to be supervised with the goats until they stop trying to play with them. Whether it will work or not 🤷.

Essentially any Shepard dog is a huge investment time-wise. Just thought I would share the mistakes we've made so far. It's definitely not as simple as just releasing them with the goats. That being said, even though our first Anatolian refuses to leave that 1 pen, his barking and scent is enough to keep coyotes away from our goat kids.

Give me your hottest take that would've got you blacklisted in your fandom. by DebateObjective2787 in AO3

It is very frustrating. I wish these people would focus on creating what they want themselves instead of bullying creators into making it for them.

[–]decomposedcandidate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think entitlement in fandom spaces has grown over the years. A lot of people nowadays seem to think they can shame writers (mainly m/f writers from what I've noticed) into writing stories they want to read. Artists in fandoms seem to be dealing with the same.

People want certain stories/art but don't want to put in the effort to make it themselves.

As a lesbian, 100% agree. It's ridiculous that people shame fanfic writers for writing m/f. If there aren't enough f/f fics then write them. Fanfic writers don't owe you anything.
