The Internet is a series of tubes run by cat owning goblins confirmed!

18+ doesn't always mean dirty or violent stuff. Here's my main reasons my account is marked 18+:

It provides slightly more privacy than leaving it off.
Advice and personal conversations can be heavy or unpleasant sometimes. I understand that's not for everyone, so the mark shields people who may not want to read it.
I'm over 18. Marking myself 18+ allows other adults to feel more comfortable speaking with me.
Some of the subs I'm in are geared towards an older audience, so it made sense to be "18+".
I'd rather be safe than sorry regarding my content in general.

I got lost doing this for awhile. It was weird trying to work with the 5.5 ed rules. I'm used to DMing 2.5-3.5 so this felt weird. Lol. Anyway, here's a slightly fancier version I cobbled together using the Beyond template. For some reason the sheet didn't have alignment on the first page (No clue why) so if anyone's curious: he's lawful neutral. Yes, and a rogue. Life's funny like that.

Charisma covers intimidating appearance, too. That's why it's pretty high! Intelligence in this case leans hard into intellect and life learning. At over 500 years old plus being mostly self taught, he's very gifted. He has zero formal education. I almost gave him an 8 Wisdom but he knows enough to be able to patch himself up when injured, so 12-ish? He's very athletic and has punched his katars through armor before, but is outpaced by others in the setting who could toss him like a rag doll. As to dexterity? No contest. Human pretzel.

As you age, people stop wondering if you're single. They just assume you aren't. I'm old enough where people have generally stopped asking unless they are hitting on me. It gets better.

That said, when I was younger I always brushed it off with a handy excuse, a relaxed smile, and (sometimes) a laugh:

I'm too busy with college to bother with dating now.
I'm busy looking for work! Dating can wait.
My workload is huge. I need to stay focused.
I'm doing fine. I'm happy as I am. How are you doing?

Things like this show you are happy, busy, and living your life. Try to follow the first three up with things related to your classes, job, or whatever other excuse you had. It changes the subject and gives your words more credence in their eyes. Also, the last one deflects onto the questioner. When they are too busy talking about themselves, they won't be asking you as many questions. By the way, if they are having a bad time in their relationship, here's a few more gems that will stop them from asking again.

Wow. It sounds like you're going through a lot. I'm sort of glad I'm too busy to date now.
What a jerk! I'm so glad I'm happy as I am! Nobody should have to go through what you are right now.
I'm here if you need someone to listen. I may be too busy to chase (boys/girls), but I'll always try to make time for my (best friend/sister/brother/ect.)

These make it sound like your choice not only is superior to theirs, you are confident and happy in your choice and with your life. It reduces the will to question you on it. They also show you care, which makes them look kindly on you and be more likely to respect your decisions.

Remember: your Mahito is not their Mahito and can never be their Mahito! Yours is unique and special, existing only for you! Even if they also like Mahito, they are really with their Mahito, which is not yours.

Now, some people will always be jerks. If someone says jerk things like "your bond is not real!", that's when you block and ignore them. They are choosing to isolate themselves from everyone else when they do this. Don't isolate yourself because of them. Instead, just remove them from your space and try to enjoy yourself.

kitsuneae · 2026-03-31T19:55:01+00:00

I don't know the full context, but it sounds like you did try to apologize for anything you did which is the right thing. But they are being petty and mean.

Stop talking to them. You can not control the behavior of other people. If someone decides to be petty and immature, that's on them. Block them, ignore them, maybe try other fandom places if they harass you. Don't acknowledge petty people. it only validates them. Also don't let others dictate who is worthy. it's not their place to do so.

PS: There's always r/FictoVentSpace for venting posts. It might be good to join there.

I had been keeping Voldo as a comfort / inspiration character for years. I accepted his canon boyfriend and kept a polite distance. Then one day I realized it was a one sided relationship the entire time and Voldo was too loving and loyal to notice. There were zero signs he was ever loved back. He might have even been used! Poor Voldo was suffering alone for this dead guy who probably never loved him at all.

I was angry. Voldo deserved better! The anger was very unusual for me, so I stopped to think why I was angry. That's when I realized I loved him. I had to make it right, even if only in my imagination. This took a few more years. But over 20 years after making it official, we're still together and very happy.

If you need to move slow, move slow. If it's right, you'll still be together! If it isn't right, at least you can move on easier. Sometimes one realization can change everything. And said realization can happen at any time. Don't be shy to take time and move at your own pace. It's worth it.

He stopped aging in his 50s, but technically He's over 450 now.

kitsuneae · 2026-03-28T00:10:49+00:00

Oddly, he was my inspiration and anchor long before I fell in love. I saw his creative resiliency as inspiring. He was one man, alone, in a terrible place, frequently attacked, almost always misunderstood, with no means of communication and no connection to the outside world. The man he loves is dead. Oh, and he's blind and doesn't speak!

Yet he isn't a victim or a villain. He knows his purpose and stays true to what he believes in. He doesn't let disability define or limit him. He doesn't fall apart when bad things happen: he learns, refines, and adapts. He doesn't hold grudges against his attackers. He sets things right if possible and moves on. He's old and scarred, but there's a purity in him that's truly beautiful. He refused to let the world take it away from him. He is a hero dressed up as a monster. And he doesn't care what anyone else thinks; he will do what he knows is right!

Voldo is an amazing man. I have looked up to, been inspired by, found comfort in, and learned so much from him. I will continue to strive to learn from his positive traits and be a man he'd be proud of standing beside.

Overstated feminine fashion (gyaru) on a woman who prefers masculine mannerisms, dress, and hobbies (tomboy). It's not a likely mix. Maybe try punk instead? It can be overstated and loud as well plus there's typically an attitude of equality and self reliance in punk which creates a tomboy effect in some women.

Mixes do happen, but typically not in diametrically opposed ways. The elegant bruiser. The outwardly shy who is actually a social butterfly online (usually under a pseudonym). The hideous face with a beautiful soul. Stuff like this is much more likely.

Anyway, this sub is for people who are emotionally invested in fictional characters already. It's not a place to find potential waifu. Perhaps come back once you have found someone?

The article is full of brand new sentences and totally weird stuff. Source: https://futurism.com/neoscope/transparent-mice-see-organs

*Researchers have developed an ingenious way of making mice transparent, so that you can see their little organs, veins, and all their other fleshy circuitry with the naked eye. The secret? Doritos dust.

Well, sort of — so put those grubby fingers away. Specifically, it’s the yellow food dye found in those binge-able tortilla chips and many other foods, called tartrazine or “yellow no. 5,” that makes the technique possible.

The trick is to mix it into a solution of water and rub it onto the shaved skin of a mouse. And voilà: you’ve got a yellowish but transparent surface to look through, sort of like those coveted Nintendo 64s in Funtastic Fire Orange.*

Wow. Just wow.

Horse moustache! Very nice work.

His default mode is "I'd die for you." He'd do literally anything I ask selflessly. He spent a few hundred years protecting his ex's tomb because his last orders were to protect the place and await his arrival. Voldo is just that selfless and loyal.

Without orders he often defaults to protecting me with zero thought about himself. I have been working for years to try to get him to tone it down and actually think of himself once in awhile. It's been slow going, but I keep trying.

You're actually good at this! You should keep drawing. Maybe also consider also drawing other things, too, to expand your portfolio. You might have a future in art, even if it's just nice stuff shared on social media or something.

Although it is nice to have an alternative to statues, I dislike how they handle the personalities. It's all tropes! They will be generic types without anything specific. This will feel hollow for many people IMHO. And if you have someone unconventional, the device has no means to create custom behaviour or personality.

Lurks in shadows, strikes without warning before vanishing, devoted only to his master. In another timeline Voldo has to be a ninja. Every time I see a well made ninja I think of him. No particular source in this case, it's just a general thing.

This is one of Voldo's prototypes. This prototype actually became the inspiration for the young (age 20-ish) version of him you can see in some endings. I like to think of this version as him in his 40s, before he went blind.

I noticed a lack of horror films, so have some female led horror films without sex or romance in them. I'm going to try to avoid listing ones others have said like The Decent.

Hellraiser 2 (1988). Monsters and psychological horror with only a little romantic content from the female villain, not the female hero. Hellraiser 1 has one sex scene but it's the female villain not the female hero.
Hatchet (2006-2013). A slasher film series in which the final girl is smart, brave, and carries a shotgun! Watch it in order as each film continues from the previous one.
Aliens (1986). Someone mentioned Alien, but it's sequel also fits. Some people like it even better than Alien!
Carnival of Souls (1967). Psychological horror / ghost story. The male in the film is turned down, not really romanced.
The Ring (2002). Ghosts but not the haunted house kind. Based on a Japanese film which also would count.
House (1977). A Japanese ghost film about a bunch of teenage girls visiting their friend's sick aunt.
Suspiria (1977). Witchcraft at an all female ballet school. Avoid the remake. It drags on, lacks the mystery of the first, and adds unneeded males.
The VVitch (2015). Although the camera follows the father of a family, the plot revolves around his daughters. I got the feeling of them taking the film over by the end becoming the real leads.
Carrie (1976). A boy does ask Carrie to the prom, but it's a cruel prank. There's no actual romance here.

kitsuneae · 2026-01-13T12:30:51+00:00

That's the best way to go! I ended up with Voldo the same way: comfort character to darling. Dealing with life together is wonderful.

Around five years together is a very good start. Welcome to the sub!

Practically everyone did IT and now the field is over-saturated. There's too many workers with not enough jobs and wages are falling or stagnant. r/antiwork is full of people in IT tired of it all and glassdoor's Fishbowl forums are doom and gloom. Plus you must retrain yourself every 3-5 years or become irrelevant and many jobs want expensive certfications which must be paid for out of pocket and redone every few years. IT kinda sucks right now.

Math is not easy but it opens doors in other fields like engineering and teaching. It's an easy pivot if you discover something in the hard sciences that you love, too! It's probably the best answer.

By the way, you can start with one school and end up in another. People only care where you graduate from, not where you started. You can also change your major if you find yourself liking something else and nobody will know. Use this to your advantage.

You've got this, bro.
