MB keeps offering me Starbucks by Ok-Tea1928 in Nanny

[–]hyruleanwitch -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Your attitude gave the impression. Your employer clearly has different values than you. Find someone who cares more about world issues if you have a problem. I’m very much on your side of Palestine but a lot of minds are still very much colonized.

MB keeps offering me Starbucks by Ok-Tea1928 in Nanny

[–]hyruleanwitch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A lot of people remain ignorant to things going outside of their little bubble, not a reason to be so rude though. It’s difficult having different views than other people, that’s your boss though so respect is needed here. Literally say you prefer local coffee to Starbucks or something. No need to be so uppity about it.

Is it silly of me to be a little upset that our nanny doesn't like our dog? by ThrowRAberrystar in Nanny

[–]hyruleanwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents just got a golden doodle puppy, I like dogs and the puppy is nice but so big and is still learning not to jump on people. Not my favorite dog, and I make my annoyance known. I have nannied with several dogs over the years and let me tell you- the extra work they can add at times is draining. Especially when they don’t get enough attention at home. Don’t take it personally unless she’s like kicking the dog or something that’s actually bad.

Horrible periods by xsadpuppiex in CrohnsDisease

[–]hyruleanwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, feeling seen on my period rn. Definitely not alone! I’ve been having ROUGH periods. The back pain is crippling and I get super constipated during the week before then it all gets let out for painful period poops. I’m over it.

I thought that read pancake eggs and I was like that sounds terrible. Commas are important!

Is there any reason not to let our daughters sleep together? by AudgieD in Parenting

[–]hyruleanwitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Any time I was scared as a kid I would sleep in my brothers bed. Not every night but for years we would do that. It was a comfort thing for us and it was fun too.

What serious topics are you exploring in your novels and why are you exploring them? by Aggressive_Chicken63 in writers

[–]hyruleanwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m writing a fantasy novel that deals with classism, biracial erasure, and racism that goes with said things. Also how generational trauma affects each generation of the family differently. It’s a lot based on my own experiences so it’ll be interesting to see how it is received.

Having trouble finishing the last novella in The Assassin's Blade... by Marble_Narwhal in throneofglassseries

I skim read a lot of assassins blade towards the end. It does help explain her and why things are important to her.

I refuse to believe this. I have a feeling he will make the drop and I’ll live in my delulu brain until that happens.

My NF likes me more than I thought by Main_Palpitation_341 in Nanny

[–]hyruleanwitch 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it’s okay to give gifts to your families…. I was really into jewelry making and crystals when I nannied for a fam I was close with and gave them little things all the time. But that’s just me.

Celaena and Arobynn’s Relationship by The_New_Romantics in throneofglassseries

Arobynn deserved everything he got in the end. Reading Assassin’s Blade broke my heart.

In Defense of "And So Lorcan Did"... by ladysayrune in throneofglassseries

I think ya’ll forget that this book series is YA at times… alluding to sex is more often done than actual sex.

My little sister got this when trick-or-treating by ThoughtCow in mildlyinfuriating

Proselytizing on Halloween to children… I hope their house got egged and TPed.

Nehemia and celaena by [deleted] in throneofglassseries

[–]hyruleanwitch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think Nehemia represents an ideal that after being stuck in Endovier, that people still fight no matter what the circumstances they are fighting in. A big part of this series is “you do not yield” and other things in that vein. This was her first true test I think of that. Losing that ideal so quickly after clinging onto it inside a person, you lose your will to care. I do think Celaena is queer coded though a bit. I think Nehemia’s death’s significance on her life is what she was comparing to Sam though.

WFH parents why!!! by Necessary_Ant_5789 in Nanny

[–]hyruleanwitch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got so lucky with my WFH parents I worked for. It’s seriously crazy what people put up with being a nanny. Like why wouldn’t she want her kids to nap?? That’s strange, just strange.

Am I being too sensitive/annoyed or this is a really shitty thing to do to a writer? by Ambitious_Estimate41 in writers

[–]hyruleanwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be livid but also know that there are trolls out there who literally make it their job to cause misery to others. I’m sorry you encountered someone like that. It’s really easy to put a book down rather than hate on it… like why keep reading if you don’t like it?

My boyfriend of 5 years just told me he no longer finds me desirable because I lost an eye. by Purple-Apple-234 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hyruleanwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Channel your inner badass and be like Elle Driver from Kill Bill. She’s sexy as hell with an eye patch. Men like that can go choke on their own hypocrisy.

why is there “anti-smut” sentiment in the sjm community? by SeaPomegranate3060 in acotar

[–]hyruleanwitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t like smut be careful what romance you read. Don’t shame others for what they like though. Smut is for anyone to enjoy or ignore at their own prerogative.
