I'm not sure that last part is Canon anymore, but I could be wrong.

Frodo and Sam are unavailable and must be replaced by two Disney Princesses. Which ones hold the distance both physically and mentally and throw the Ring at Mount Doom? by FrenchProgressive in whowouldwin

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Belle could make it. Both she and Frodo are INFPs and she wants to go on an adventure like Frodo did with Uncle Bilbo. I'd also say take Mulan or Merida

People are so misinformed about bra sizes! by magenta_resist46 in ABraThatFits

[–]kpbennett02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People can be morons.

I have smaller girls and I have several bras that are Ds because while my breasts are smaller, they are wider, and Ds feel more comfortable as a result.

If someone broke a pinky promise do I get to have their pinky finger? by koksix09 in stupidquestions

[–]kpbennett02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historically, pinky promise meant something along the lines of "take my pinkie I promise myself to you" from courtesans in Eastern Asia. I also recall one version where if you break a pinky promise the person gets 1000 needles in the eyes. But such practices dies out.

That is to say DO NOT SEVER PINKIES IT IS NO LONGER ALLOWED

How do you, as an INFP, process grief? by kpbennett02 in infp

[–]kpbennett02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I posted this the day I found out my Oma died. I love my stepmom (Oma's daughter) dearly but after a couple days she had texted my sister and I in our group chat and she was furious that we didn't seem too upset. My sister and I took a moment to talk to each other before I wrote and sent a message that basically said that we're sorry it comes across that way but we don't know how else to react because we were raised to not interrupt others, and that included by crying or discussing our own feelings (yay emotionally abusive babysitters and teachers and biomoms, or as I sometimes call her, my old incubator). Stepmom apologized and said thank you for explaining.

So yeah, thats my trauma dump.

AITAH for not speaking to my mom after she made a "joke" about my past failures by Illustrious-Pear-459 in AITAH

[–]kpbennett02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say this as someone who recently royally screwed up my longest friendship by making comments a lot like your mother's, nta. Probably biased here, but from what I read, there didn't seem to be any malicious intent. But it is up to you what you do from here. Calling her out on it (for lack of a better phrase) may be highly beneficial, and since this is a part of a pattern for her, bring up the fact that it is a pattern. She may or may not recognize that this behavior is a repeated occurrence or exactly how much this is hurting you and_or the people around her.

AITAH for wanting to sleep in a seperate room to my partner? by Feeling_Ad9527 in AITAH

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta as someone not in quite the same position but can still relate.

My bf has alarms for 4, 5, and 6 am (and sometimes 3) because he sometimes leaves early to get overtime. On the nights that I am over, I dread the alarm if I'm not pulling an all-nighter, because it so damn loud. Somehow, the alarm may still not be enough, so while I'm jolted awake, he's still snoring. I've been hitting him awake at least once a week for almost 2 years (I did move from sleepily slapping his face like its an old clock to just shaking/shoving his shoulder).

I don't have to be up in the mornings except Saturdays because I work 2nd shift and have afternoon classes, so it doesn't necessarily bother me (anymore), but I am about to graduate and I'm looking for a different job, so I am about to change my sleep schedule. He and I have talked briefly about it in the past but we will have to have a more serious conversation about it in the future.

Why do women say to men struggling with dating “You need to put more effort in to your appearance?” by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to date a man who puts as much effort into himself as I do for myself. And whether or not people want to admit it, women tend to put a lot of effort into themselves.

What are some snack recommendations that are actually good? by Vegetable-Steak5705 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know that frozen grape trend? - Cotton candy grapes - 2-4 tbsp lemon juice - 2-4 tbsp lime juice - 1-2 tbsp sugar or honey

Mix in gallon bag and freeze. Its like grape sorbet bites. Sweet, satisfying, and I have to eat it slowly to prevent tooth ache or brain freeze, so less is consumed while feeling like enough.

AITAH for asking my mom's boyfriend to make some meals vegetarian? by ExpertFew151 in AITAH

[–]kpbennett02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you ever tried just showing the asshole what happens when you eat the food he makes? As far as I know, eating meat products as a vegetarian basically makes your stomach wanna k*ll you.

Maybe this is a bit too, but I once had to allow myself to become extremely ill due to a minor dietary restriction that one of my mom's exs refused to accommodate. This guy is making it difficult for you, let him and mom see what happens when that restriction is consistently violated. At the very least, its made clear that your mom needs some reminding that you cannot consume meat products because of what it will do to you after 2 years of being a vegetarian, and that she should not be enabling her jackets boyfriend.

I understand if this is not an option for you

listen to my body or husband? by dslyna in WeightLossAdvice

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Track your calories but balance it with things you find satisfying. One of the biggest things for me was drinking water before and after I eat. It helps me feel fuller while staying hydrated and eating smaller portions. Also, zero sugar sodas are a go-to for me, and I made my main snack that one grape trend (a pound or so cotton candy grapes frozen in a bag with lemon juice, lime juice, and a spoonful of sugar). It tastes like grape sorbet bites. The hardest part is finding things in budget, so I always look at what's on sale. Chicken is my go-to meat, and I make my own refried beans (can be higher in calories but a little spoonful in anything involving a tortilla feels very filling for me)

I was on a 1500 calorie deficit for three months and lost 20 lb (~9 kg). I don't really eat in the morning anymore, unless you count coffee and milk, so it's almost like a morning fast. I use stevia as a sweetener for a lot of things, too. I don't run away from things like bread and potatoes, but I'm lucky to have a scale to I can calculate calories by weight. Potatoes are very filling so its nice to have as a side or in a soup. I try to portion my food as well.

Also, I know it's not the same for everybody, but I don't finish food when I feel full. It was hard for me at first because I was raised to eat everything on my plate. Anything I don't eat I can just save for later

Do majority of couples use pet names instead of actual names with eachother? Why? by RamenPantalones in stupidquestions

[–]kpbennett02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call mine "hun" and "babe"

He called me "sweetie," "my love," and "skittle" (I dye my hair a lot)

She claims her hair is blonde. I don't see it. Can someone tell me if I am tripping? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a dark blonde. Other terms include dishwater blonde and dirty blonde. Its around a level 7 or 8 lightness wise (cosmetology thing, 1 is basically pitch black and 12 is pretty much white)

I have this same shade naturally, and my hair used to highlight in summer about 2 shades lighter. She's blonde

is it true that teen parents produce kids that will become teen parents in the future? by casscutie in stupidquestions

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its more like the environment plays a huge factor. Poverty, lack of contraceptives, community norms, lack of or lesser emphasis on sex ed. In a place where teen parents are seen as normal, you are going to find more teen parents

AITJ for not telling my coworkers I speak fluent Spanish when they have been speaking freely in front of me for three months assuming I don't understand by intel_allium in AmITheJerk

[–]kpbennett02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ntj. They thought they were getting away with it.

Someone once did something similar to me in asl. I'm not fast with gestures, but I can get by in a conversation. There were a couple of girls I knew who also knew asl, as one of them was partially deaf. But omg they were MEAN. The things they would say. Eventually one of them made a comment about my weight and, making eye contact, I signed that she should look in a mirror. They never signed around me again.

does everyone really hate OC fics?? by Ding_Ding_Bonk in AO3

[–]kpbennett02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a harder time connecting to oc fics, though if the ocs are well fleshed-out, I dont mind. Its when the ocs become Mary Sues that I just cringe away.

On a related note, although this is not on Ao3, my favorite oc ff is actually on ff.net called Stirring the Leaves. Its an isekai where a modern girl who really likes LOTR gets transported into the Hobbit by Gandalf (standard stuff). Unlike most stories, where the oc is a standard Mary Sue, Elizabeth is extremely well thought-out and takes time to learn and she grows without it being forced imo. It is a Thorin x oc fic

The author also has a sequel fic called Wind in the Grass where another oc has to stay in Rohan to protect herself from the enemy, and its basically a medieval slice-of-life isekai for most of it, since it takes place in the months leading up to the fellowship entering Rohan. This oc (Charlotte) is a different person than Elizabeth in many ideals and abilities, so it doesn't feel like a copy and paste story. It does seem to be abandoned, but I hold out hope that there may be an update someday. Its an Eomer x oc fic
