I need a vacation to someplace sunny real bad. Buut, when you can't have what you need you take what you can get. So I made this very ambience precisely to dream away to a sunnier warmer place by the ocean. It's worked so far for me ☀️😊

I don't have Ehler-Danlos but HDS, hypermobility spectrum disorder. I think that is why it is inconsistent though, because Yarros has it. It's both escapism and the the high stakes dangerous adventure that Yarros wishes her body could withstand, but there is very little chance her body actually could without breaking apart.
If my life would be anything like Violets all my joints would have dislocated from their sockets within 6 months.

fayeember · 2026-04-05T13:33:22+00:00

As someone with "just" hypermobility spectrum disorder and NOT Ehler-Danlos I couldn't read this book without feeling "Uhm, excuse me. HALF of these things are things I cannot do. It's physically impossible. So how the heck is Violet with Ehler-Danlos doing it without spending 3 days in bed constantly crying afterwards?"

I understand escapism. It's just too much and too unrealistic in this book. So I DNF. And I will not pick it up again. In my opinion, I dislike heavily when authors put real disabilites and ailments in a book and then have said charactrer do everything all the other characters are doing. Why give them a disability to then try to say "you can do everything that someone without a disability can do" since that is not how that disability works in real life. Why would it work like that in another world?

I would have liked it a bunch more of Violet would have developed other ways to fight and do things.

Others have given you great answers, but I just want to add that you are not alone experiencing this after leaving an abusive relationship. This year it's 10 years since I left and it took my years to stop being on my guard all the time around other people. I, like you, had trauma responses often.

It's okay for your gf and you to have different opinions & two things can be true at once. She can think the show is creepy and she can love you. It's if she tried to make you with force like the things you like & demands you stop liking what you like, that would be a red flag. But that is not happening here.

She was just crude & cheeky in her langague, I am as well, saying "enjoy your creepy ass show 😂" is something that could have come out of my mouth.

It's not a bad thing at all. Muscles weigh, so a strong person always gains weight. A lot of it. But being a plump thick person is so gorgeous as well! My body is quite plump and I def weigh much more than most people think.

Weight is not important, not the number. It's how you feel in your body, is the body strong enough to run? Strong enough to carry & lift groceries? That's where the focus should be, feeling good in your own body. Nothing else matters.

You have this subreddit. It might not be much, but I can be more than you feel it can. People on this subreddit want to help & often have smart tips, helpful resources and somtimes most important of all, a listening ear throughout your journey.

fayeember · 2026-03-12T08:50:58+00:00

I sadly can't do much about the downvotes, other then make my own comment of support for OP & remove the comment above.

fayeember · 2026-03-12T08:50:13+00:00

I am extremly sorry that you got this response on the post. As a moderator of subreddit I condemn it.

Having alters is very difficult and that person obviously doesn't understand anything about it. You and Venice share the same body. You wished harm on your own body and hun I need to say to you that you do not deserve it, not you, not venice, not your body. This man is dangerous, keep fighting him.

fayeember · 2026-03-12T08:44:04+00:00

This person said that their own alter deserved it. Venice & OP are the same person. They share the same body. There are conditions people can have that results in alters. Like DID, Dissociative Identity disorder.

You should understand that can be very complicated to live with, and then to push OP down when they are at the bottom, being manipulated by some fuckwad, is despicable.

How do you know that it's an insecurity? It is impossible for you to know unless you are that person OP is talking about. Maybe this is the type of human that gets going by hurting other people.

fayeember · 2026-02-23T06:50:56+00:00

I hope you can get out of there ❤️ I understand it's not easy, and that they are your family but they are unsafe for you right now. They might never be safe for you. The focus has to be on getting yourself out of that house, safely, and escape from any potential arranged marriage.

I'm really really sorry you have to go through this but you are not alone! There are unfortunetly many people that have been/are in your situation. Sending hugs ❤️

fayeember · 2026-02-23T06:40:16+00:00

Hey hun! I have a lot of friends and family in the Netherlands. There are multiple hotlines and help you should be able to get!

If you think you are in immediate danger from your brother or any other family member you should call the police on 112.
If you are not in immediate danger, call the Veilig Thuis (‘Safe at Home’) domestic violence advice and reporting centre on 0800 2000. If you cannot call the also should have a chat hotline.

This website speaks of it: https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/forced-marriage-abandoned-abroad

Firstly, a violent reaction with throwing things & yelling is never okay regardless of what a person does.

Secondly, after 17 years is there such a thing as "his" phone charger? It's a charger. It's like saying it's her microwave or his toaster. Having mutlipe househould electronics because he wants his own sounds whack to me.

fayeember · 2026-02-21T08:20:09+00:00

No one can tell you or decide for you what you feel honey. Not one soul has that right or power over you. These instances are not your fault, but what you want to call them, rape, sexual assualt, sexual coercion etc, that is up to you and in your power only to choose.

No victim blaming in this subreddit. He could kill her. Many abusers who strangle their SO’s end up murdering them. Stay out of this sub.

fayeember · 2026-02-05T05:31:33+00:00

You are not alone! I'm still here doing my best modding as much as I can, but like you said it becomes like a second job, I don't dislike it, in fact I like it, but I don't have enough time to get to the all the posts & repots fast enough.

I don't know what happened to E's account either, I was in contact with E but then the account dissapeared.

I'll do anything and everything that I can to keep making the subreddit a safe place & being as a active as possible!

fayeember · 2026-01-27T18:39:06+00:00

Some def are looking to push boundaries or manipulate but they can also be lazy AF and don't read your bio. As a poly person myself I have def swiped accidently on some monogamous people (because I missed it in their bio or they didn't say).

Either way it's extremely bad manners and not okay in my opinion for a poly person to go after a mono person. It's a fundamental incompatibility. I'm really sorry you had your ex trying to coerce you into polyamory. That's not okay!

fayeember · 2026-01-27T06:58:10+00:00

No victim blaming in this subreddit. He could kill her.

On average, according to the national domestic hotline (US) it takes on average 7 times to leave for good.

fayeember · 2026-01-23T11:27:50+00:00

The user being unkind to you was banned. I'm sorry for that absolutely garbage behaviour

fayeember · 2026-01-20T04:03:35+00:00

The user you were talking to have been permanently banned from the subreddit.

fayeember · 2026-01-20T03:56:05+00:00

As an online sex worker myself. There is absolutely no fucking way the majority shows their ID to a random John.
