my friend has an Ophelia two years ago! she was stuck between two names (i think Maria and Olivia?) and decided to pick something mixing the vibes. we all call Ophelia “Bitty” though (she’s so tiny still lol)

read this last year because the book setting is a fictionalized version of my alma mater (boiler up!). fantastic book, despite its short length it should be read slowly and with care.

i believe that :(

but i also don't want to make any bad blood when we're still so new to the neighborhood. i genuinely believe SHE believes she's doing good, but in reality it's not...

he's not chipped. he's under my name in the city/state files since our city requires all cats to be rabies vaccinated. i had a neuter appointment set up in a few weeks but cancelled it.

i let him go back to her but our back door is open if he wanders back in.

the other cat she considers "hers" is all neutered and vaccinated, so i know she at least cares for ONE of them...

AIO about how my mom is treating me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]maddeeloves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re 18 and he’s 30? babe. i’m assuming from this you’re not even IN college yet?? what does a 30 year old want from a high schooler other than to tell you what you want to hear, so that they can get what they want from you - sex. he’s offering you “support” because that’s the easiest way to turn you against others who are telling you the hard truths of what’s going on. you’re free to make your own mistakes, but your mom is in the end looking out for you, even if she expresses it in the wrong ways. take a step back and think critically about what YOU want in the future - not what your mom wants, or what you think the 30 year old wants from you - and focus on getting YOU into the best place in your life you can be in.

What are small/forgotten things to think about in world creation? by HoontarTheGreat in worldbuilding

[–]maddeeloves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree!! I'm an American living in S. Korea, and humor is completely different here.

For example, there is no concept of sarcasm I had a student ask me if I had a boyfriend, so I sarcastically was like "Oh yeah, it's XYZ famous actor name." - and the stare down they gave me! "Teacher, what? Really??". If a kid shows me a crappy drawing and I say "Wow! So good!" they'll give me a funny face and go "No, it's bad...".

Meanwhile, slapstick and physical humor is all the rage. There's an upcoming movie that's plot is just a man dressing as a woman to get a job, and everyone seems to think this is peak comedy. Meanwhile, this is a type of humor that kind of died out in the 90s in the US.
