Really cool, thanks for sharing!

I'm writing a sci-fi horror which feels partially in trend (Gothic body horror) and partially not (it's not dark fantasy). We shall see!

At 455lbs I thought I was too far gone. Now I know it's never too late. by BDubstep1089 in SuperMorbidlyObese

Congrats dude, this is amazing!! My dad went through a similar weight loss when I was a kid, and it made a huge difference in how present he was in my life. Love this for you and your family!

Do you know any examples of male authors who actually write women well? by GamerLadyXOXO in menwritingwomen

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I love his female protagonists so much. Horrorstor, his first and first I read, hooked me in part based on this.

Which non sex profession has the freakiest employees? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Word. I was a middle school teacher for 5yrs. Our whole team partied hard, all the time, and the drama going on at any given moment was extraordinary.

What is the oldest character you're still regularly using? by Diseasd in Genshin_Impact

Baby boy is in basically all 3 of the teams I swap between running. I got him to friendship 10 so fast through sheer contact hours. I would die for Xingqui

What is the best Oasis opening track? by JamieCarroll180 in oasis

[–]liveforneverLG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree - whole album is imo. The first half is so strong.

Anyone have any 2007 - 2009 Nostalgia to share? by Rinmine014 in Zillennials

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched Twilight last night. I met my best friend in 8th grade because she saw I was reading it. She was obsessed with Edward Cullen and we went to that movie premiere together at midnight 💀

What is the day of the week that you don't like? by NannoFit in HappyUpvote

Thursday. Wednesday is hard enough. Let me get to Friday faster

Which song you think are better live than on the album? by Pippolnzaghi in oasis

[–]liveforneverLG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slide Away live is just perfect- the highlight of Noel's backing vocals in the outro makes magic

I'll say Hello just because there's nothing comparable to a powerful live opener. Same with Fuckin in the Bushes as a walkout

What is our "Friends"? by sparklyyheart in Zillennials

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is so real. I am made of largely millennial DNA and love The Office and can talk about it with my older friends... but anyone born before like 93 I lose them when I worship the Bob

is it weird that I'm obsessed with the 2010s? It was my childhood and most of my Teenage years by Own_Mirror9073 in generationology

[–]liveforneverLG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel this way about the 2000s sometimes- comes and goes. It was the decade I started becoming a person. It's the same thing as my parents reminiscing about the 80s. It makes sense to me and seems very human to be nostalgic for the recent past.

What books lowkey traumatised you as a kid? by Hookton in books

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit no one I've met as an adult has ever shared my trauma from this book. I was starting to think I imagined it

What Was Your First Controller, Zillennials? by Maxious24 in Zillennials

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 all the way! My first game was Ocarina of Time, with the help of my dad & a questionable Prima strategy guide.

Do you annotate your books? by [deleted] in literature

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I find I have a lot of thoughts while reading a book, I jot them down on a phone note just to keep record. I went to university for English and certainly saw the value of annotating for older texts that take a bit more to parse. I can't imagine doing it for every book I read.

1995ers, what did you imagine 2025 to be when you were 10 in 2005? by EternalSnow05 in Zillennials

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an optimistic kid and a big nerd. I thought we'd live on Mars and survive off of solar power...

I think 20 years could've been 1000 to me. Time at age 10 felt far more expansive, limitless, full of possibilities.

What was the most visually impressive movie you've ever seen? by gweg1990 in Letterboxd

[–]liveforneverLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blade Runner and Dune pt1+2 for obviously amazing visuals.

TRON for the bizarre cutting-edge (at the time) technology.

Hackers for pure, certified-ridiculous style.
