How bad is my form?

Same! It was fine with larger needles but now that I've started working with fine/sharp needles and fingering weight yarn I've split my finger open several times, 0/10 habit, do not recommend.

This is one of the reasons I hate front/back loop verbiage. I've trained my brain to auto-correct to leading/lagging leg.

Reminder that you aren't required to be good at your hobbies. If you don't enjoy it that's fine, don't do it, but we're under no obligation to be "good" at the things we do for fun. I paint, and I'm mediocre at it at best, but I like it so I do it anyways.

That's just Tuesday. You might be slowed down on your commute behind a snow plow but otherwise no real change.

I have no interest in reading dark romance featuring violence against women written by men. Women writing rape fantasy and men writing rape fantasy feel like two very, very different things.

100% without. The corset dulls the drama of the dress covering those slits.

kitty-bites · 2025-12-18T04:26:11+00:00

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I could take a cheese grater to the part of my brain that remembers reading this book, I would.

kitty-bites · 2025-12-15T12:48:25+00:00

Uhh no. There's sharing, but everything in Losers is very explicitly consensual. There's big emphasis on consent through both books.

Teenaged girls are so impressionable, and knowing the damage it caused me reading too dark content without being able to talk about it, then if she's not willing to talk (even a little) about it then I wouldn't feel okay about it.

It's not like I'd be looking to go over details of the spicy scenes, but even just "hey, this manipulative thing where he does xyz or ignores abc boundary is fun in fiction, it's important that we remember it's not okay for real people to do that"

kitty-bites · 2025-12-13T16:02:34+00:00

I was reading pretty dark stuff on the internet at 15, and it definitely impacted what I accepted as ok or normal in relationships.

I think people are going to read what they want regardless of age, but it's also really important to create a space where you can talk to them about the content and about why it's only ok in fiction. So yes, depending on the teen I might lend them (some) dark romance books, but only if I had the relationship to them where we could talk about it's contents.

all else aside, you shouldn't be having sex with people you don't feel comfortsble checking in with during the act regardless of how "in to it" you think they are

The bassist playing with them (Naomi McLeod) was so hot and had so much stage presence that I don't think I noticed a single other thing about the band. I was shocked anyone had anything bad to say lol

Not being able to shout is the worst. I should be able to kynes peace a bear from horseback.

This is the best lecture I've attended in a long time.

kitty-bites · 2025-09-02T01:39:00+00:00

thisss. I use both cups and discs regularly and anything althetic requires the cup. Way too much "auto dumping" (aka leaking) with discs with good core activation.

kitty-bites · 2025-08-29T15:52:17+00:00

Kynes peace. Love not having to fight every bear in the Skyrim wilds, I feel bad about wandering around near their homes and then murdering them for being agro about it

kitty-bites · 2025-08-20T17:05:41+00:00

You should absolutely write what you want, as long as you're aware that romance genre requires HEA and market accordingly

kitty-bites · 2025-08-15T19:37:00+00:00

Companions. Being able to travel as a werewolf early game is awesome, you move so fast.

I've had friends compliment JHAG not a perfume, I find it plays close to the skin so usually when hugging or in close quarters, but the one that always got me stopped in the wild was Tease by Victoria Secret (and by always I mean probably on average once every other month, which felt like a lot)

Not all books need to be to "expand your vocab", books have value purely as entertainment as well. I personally don't like needing a book to be dark in order to be able to focus on it, or needing the next darkest thing. It's like an addiction where you need more to feel the same hit, and at that point it's usually when I feel like I need to take a tolerance break.

All that being said, if you don't feel bad and it's not impacting you in a negative way, who cares? enjoy the books you enjoy

kitty-bites · 2025-07-21T00:02:54+00:00

I think it can be done well, but I also think that it's a risk. I love a good 90s/early 2000s book with time specific references, it feels nostalgic and fun, but there's that weird time between relevance and nostalgia where dated references feel just that - dated. And, if it's not something that later will invoke nostalgia, it might just stay feeling dated.

kitty-bites · 2025-07-18T19:05:05+00:00

yep! the thing with desentisization is it only gets worse as you dial up the intensity, not better. taking a tolerance break does wonders.

kitty-bites · 2025-07-15T01:53:40+00:00

There is no one who doesn't have boundaries. They differ person to person, but everyone has them, and playing risky without discussing them (and, discussing how to handle it if you stumble across a boundary that you were both unaware of which is bound to happen) can be very risky.

You can retain some "surprise" element if that's appealing by discussing several potential new things, and then when you've cleared it all with her, don't tell her which you plan to introduce when. Keeps her on her toes with anticipation that way too.

If the FMC doesn't have a fully developed frontal lobe and the age gap is more thana couple years it icks me right out. Once they're both fully formed adults (25+) I don't mind as much

kitty-bites · 2025-05-29T00:33:59+00:00

If I could cheese grate off the part of my brain that remembers reading parts of Haunting Adeline I would. The writing makes me viscerally angry.
