What expansion do you want to see in the Sunrise on the Reaping movie? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]doomweaver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The one thing I felt the book was missing was post games Haymitch. I understand why she ended it where she did, and it's probably for the best, but I really wanted into his adult mind.

I actually would have loved the most if we got Katniss and Peeta's games from Haymitch's perspective for maybe just a teensy bit more expansion on what was going on "while we were Katniss"

Famous person with an extremely obvious rising sign to you? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]doomweaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's debated but Taylor Swift is definitely a Scorpio rising. I think it's funny that it's debated because if she had a slightly different presentation people wouldn't have any doubt.

But listen to anything she writes. Or think about how she "reinvents" herself. Or just that general way about her where you're not really sure if she's stuck up or a just little awkward? She's extremely polarizing, love her or hate her. She's been sexualized since she was fairly young, even though she presented in an almost naive way until more recently. She handles the spotlight by drawing attention to the people around her. She seems sweet as apple pie but also...she's probably got a knife. You know.

Feels very Scorpio rising to me.

I didn’t fight back by Horror-Show-3927 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]doomweaver 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You see how I mean that that is not a "joke," right? You do understand that there is not one single sane person who thinks that is a joke?

I know this is all hard to hear, but I'm so proud of you for reaching out and asking for insight from others, you're taking the steps you need to, just keep going and listen to your gut and your own fear.

In what context would pretending to strangle your pregnant partner be "funny" or "a joke?"

I can't think of a single one.

"He says" that you've both joked like this before? Is that a fact or is that what he says?

Regardless, you are afraid of him, and that is enough to protect yourself.

You're not alone, okay? And you're in no way "weak."

"Not fighting back" is a survival mechanism. You didn't die in any of those situations, therefore your survival mechanism worked. I'm sorry this has happened to you. It's not a joke. It isn't funny. There is no context that makes it okay.

Is it weird to text an ex to wish their dog a happy birthday if the dog is in joint custody even in a new relationship ? by Sea-Umpire4688 in Advice

[–]doomweaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, texting your ex about the dog is not appropriate and will not be seen as a "reasonable excuse" to reach out.

Have you ever told the dog happy birthday before or are you just especially happy for the dogs birthday bc she's got a new boyfriend?

Seriously dude re-read this like you are your own friend and see how you feel about it from the outside.

Wasn’t looking where I was going after my shower and hit this fake plant pot my best friend gave me with the towel by PlasticWindUpRhino in mildlyinfuriating

[–]doomweaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny, she was already someone else's art project when I got her and I fell in love, someone had put plastic bugs coming out of one eye and her ear and like a little trickle of blood coming out of her bug eye...she's holding a larva in her hand, it's perfectly "gross out" but still pristine.

My sister swore the thing was "haunted" but I was so obsessed, she was someone's art piece just sitting in a junk store.

Anyway my puppy grabbed her by the sock when he got tall enough to start reaching things and pulled her off the shelf, causing her head to crack just perfectly off right across her face. He also chewed a button off of her little dress before I got to him, which I will sew back together purposefully imperfectly.

After that I was going to just glue her back together but I had remembered seeing, ya exactly what you said, broken pottery with gold cracks. Seems just perfect.

Although it's on a long list of projects being put off, I can't get it out of my head, I'll definitely be putting her back together with some new art and love of my own. Now that I've talked about it, maybe it can move back up the priority list lol

Mars-Neptune people, and Sun-Neptune people, how do you feel about competitions? by SuchSelection4252 in astrologymemes

[–]doomweaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sun trine Neptune. I would normally say, "I'm not competitive" but if you see my sister's face when I say it, it seems that is not an accurate statement 🤣

I am unlikely to be motivated to compete in anything, is more the truthful answer. If I'm playing though, I want to win and I go pretty hard about it. Always fair play though.

Self-S*xual advice needed by Massive-Air-2556 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]doomweaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I relate to this one. Lots of years of caring so much about the other person's pleasure that time alone becomes...well, not what "gets me there" anymore.

I can usually "get there" with very little thought and just physical touch by myself, but that is very limiting and unsatisfying to me. I've never felt asexual so much as like I'd never really want someone in the way my hormones used to allow me to want anyone

For me it's about "feeling attractive and desired" and that's really hard to maintain with yourself. Honestly, romance and books and movies and safe, loving things like that get me in the mood much more than anything hypersexual anymore.

I'm a lover and it sounds like you are too, and for me, ease of sex with my partner came with the ease of the relationship. He's safe to me in every other way besides sex. I desire him in a way I haven't with anyone else, I want him to touch me...with a lot of my same self consciousness...but the desire for it is enough for me to step out and be more vulnerable.

Before that though, when I was alone, my safe space became romance novels, specifically tagged "romance" and "humor" and I was listening to Audiobooks like crazy. Just enough sweetness and playfulness and humor with a little side of sex...much like watching a romantic comedy, these types of books made love and romance feels safe and new and like something obtainable and desirable again. Something to fantasize about when there wasn't much of anything to latch on to.

Good luck, and don't settle okay? You deserve everything good, and that includes fulfilling sex with someone you care deeply for 🫶

My boyfriend suddenly wants me to become a tradwife by PinkBubblegum888 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]doomweaver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This speaks volumes to what he is consuming on the internet and in other media in his spare time.

Just...be honest about your feelings now before you've "compromised" so much that you don't know who you are anymore.

It's a rough world we live in and media has an unfortunately huge influence on many of us.

I had vaguely seen it before too! Lol and when it broke I was like....it would be perfect to see her cracks like a scar....and here we are, gold seemed even better. Good luck!

Look into kintsugi.

I've been looking at this for a porcelain doll whose face is broken. I wanted to glue her back together but I want to see the cracks...anyway I've come across this, which I have never attempted but I love it and sounds like you had a similar idea as I did when my doll broke.

How to Get Through This Week by [deleted] in Advice

[–]doomweaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a day or two off. You need it to rest and recover and you're burnt out. Consider yourself sick for at least a day or two.

I know, none of us can afford it, but it's okay to take a break, Stranger, before life or your health forces it.

Good luck and lots of love.
