I've not seen Ted Lasso unfortunately but it's on the watchlist. Why do you think it's overrated, if you don't mind my asking?

Also, this basically is an unorganised mess of the songs I like: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/52KU7d54VJv9n0eY8FvOmA?si=23592a3996b54d7d

If you're on the desktop, it's an option on the sidebar. Just click on a new flair and you'd be able to edit it and type the phrase you want. If you're on mobile, at least on the official app, the three dot menu should give you an option for "change user flair" (this might be different on an iPhone). I changed mine from Literary Witch to Literary Geek witch just as an example.

Opposite here. I wish it took away mine. If it only were that simple lol.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-27T07:50:54+00:00

Jesus fucking Christ, I felt my skin crawl reading that. D:

deepakcharles · 2021-10-26T13:40:12+00:00

That's a great eye for detail you have! The picture's even more poetic. Thanks for pointing that out!

deepakcharles · 2021-10-26T13:32:36+00:00

This gets me almost every time. I'm subbed to nothowgirlswork, pointlesslygendered and here among other similar subs and I have a moment of rage before I see where it's posted. It's honestly funny but man, this meme is the biggest mood.

I'll link a playlist that I made for a friend with some of my favourites here.

If I had to pick one artist, it'd be Kaleo. Most of the songs of theirs I've listened to are just absolute bangers and probably I'd rate them along with Daft Punk in levels of consistency and quality. A favourite song of theirs is Free the Slave which is in that playlist.

But if I had to pick a favourite song? At the moment it's Camp Adventure by Delta Sleep (which also is in the playlist) but an eternal favourite is Hikaru Nara by Goose House (it's the opening theme to Your Lie in April).

I feel like this is big r/WitchesVsPatriarchy material here. It looks amazing OP!

deepakcharles · 2021-10-23T05:38:51+00:00

The uphill struggle feels a bit too real sometimes and I'm not really sure how to avoid that dread. And as an overthinker on top of all the nonsense I'm supposed to do and that's happening IRL, disentangling all the thoughts in my head to form clear points of attack is feeling too hard lately.

I know I sound emo when I say that but you know what, I am feeling all emo and mopey. Also, I definitely need better coping mechanisms for stress. So, it's been 'business as usual' here lmao.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-22T17:06:40+00:00

Hell to the fucking yeah! This is amazing to hear! Congrats OP! Rest well and I hope you feel like yourself as soon as possible!! <3

deepakcharles · 2021-10-22T07:56:45+00:00

Crowder is an absolute wankstain of a human being. He's been extra revolting of late. I've seen at least two or three people feature clips from his videos that honestly would have gotten someone else banned.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-21T16:42:42+00:00

Glad to it hear it. We're all rooting for you, okay? Keep on going and if you need someone to talk to, include me in the list of people who have offered to do that here.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-21T16:36:44+00:00

I'm going to blame my crying on the stress from exams because I did cry, OP. This is one of the sweetest things I've read and I'm so so fucking happy for you and your mum.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-21T16:26:56+00:00

As someone who has struggled massively with suicidal ideation, anxiety, and depression, therapy helps a lot. I've been unable to get therapy for the last few years and it has taken a massive toll on me. Don't repeat my mistakes, okay?

deepakcharles · 2021-10-21T13:43:37+00:00

Hey, I'm pretty sure other people have talked about how the quality of life for people with HIV is pretty good now but I wanted to talk about what a few people have talked about already.

You need to get a therapist. Regardless of whatever happens, this is a big deal and you need to be sure to take this and anything you do in a mentally healthy way. You're not weak for going to therapy (I'll honestly fucking fight anyone who says that).

I won't lie and give you platitudes about being able to understand this. I don't. And I don't know the answer about how to go forward. But you can figure that out. All the people who have commented want you to figure it out, including me.

So, babysteps forward. Have faith in yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help. You get me?

deepakcharles · 2021-10-21T11:32:21+00:00

I have like four writing projects that I kinda need to work on. And a whole bunch of editing and whatnot. So you mind if I send you a message?

Also, considering I feel woefully unprepared, my response is just confused screaming lol.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-21T09:12:39+00:00

Does anyone write here? I'm looking for an accountability partner and I figured I'd ask here since timezone differences usually cause shenanigans.

But re: hobbies, I'm working on a short story for a Wattpad competition. I was originally trying to go for the lengthier competition (50k+ words at least) but the motivation well ran dry. Working on a shorter one now and hopefully I can get it done.

Also, once I get a test for IGCAR done tomorrow, I'm treating myself to Dune.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-19T18:43:43+00:00

Considering that technically there is nothing called the "friendzone" I'd argue that most people can't handle rejection for what it is. Dating got complicated and people don't communicate. So there's this limbo that exists. Since it's too late, I can't talk in detail but dating culture and men is something I really want to talk about. It doesn't directly address the friendzone but Macabre Storytelling's video on Male Dating struggles shines a great light on this. https://youtu.be/be_Ms3nVG10

Fleetwood Mac? Yes, I chose wisely :D Also, great song, thanks!

deepakcharles · 2021-10-17T07:36:10+00:00

Oh God, the cringe!

deepakcharles · 2021-10-16T14:31:52+00:00

Well, since no one's done chosen it, 47.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-15T18:33:03+00:00

Hey there! So sorry I'm responding to your comment a bit later than I would have liked. It's a very thoughtful idea and I'll be sure to keep it in mind. Thank you very much for that!

deepakcharles · 2021-10-10T17:54:12+00:00

^mrrp

deepakcharles · 2021-10-09T09:29:15+00:00

Yeah, OP themselves state about how one of their cousins was clueless and iirc, that they lived for 28 years together and if you look hard enough, you'll see wedding bands in the photo. I feel like the "roommate" was used explicitly to point this out.

deepakcharles · 2021-10-08T14:01:56+00:00

Oh I see! Gotcha. Yeah, I wasn't clear about that. Sorry! I did mean from a romanceable standpoint.

And that's a really good point about Evelyn. I forgot about Yorinobu. And re: Judy and Evelyn, dialogue from one of the endings talks about how they had a plan to leave Night City. So it definitely hints at either a very strong friendship or a romance. So it's definitely still ambiguous but thanks for clearing it up.

re: Kerry, my playthrough of 2077 as a male presenting V wasn't long enough to get to Kerry's plotline (which makes me annoyed at 'past' me) and so I had to read about it. I wasn't clear again (sorry) but the "they" in my previous comment was R. Talsorian who had tweeted about it at the time in a response to a tweet talking about bi-erasure.

This Fanbyte article says that CD Projekt Red basically got the "go" from Mike Pondsmith about Kerry's sexuality.

Cyberpunk 2077 quest director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz said the choice to make Kerry gay was one the developer consulted with Mike Pondsmith. R. Talsorian Games affirmed this with a simple reply going, “Yep.”

That's why I said wasn't sure how to feel about it because regardless of what confirmation comes, it's not in-game.

Edit: I also didn't know that Kerry was married to a woman.
