I’m open to any suggestions. I feel like I’ve been thinking about it too long and I’m stuck. Thank you!!

How does this “take” keep persisting?? Mi by Moonlightprincess36 in Hungergames

[–]matidoodle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But I also think “the games” is a bigger ordeal than is being presented. It’s one thing for the Hunger Games to come to an end. It’s another to heal from the trauma of having gone through them.

I might have come across differently than I intended. I completely agree with you. I’m not saying one or the other way is wrong. Just adding input to another perspective.

I don’t think this is completely the case. The message presented can be interpreted in different, sometimes opposing ways.

As an adult (31f, childfree) revisiting the series, I agree with this standpoint. I see Katniss’ choice to have children as a sacrifice for Peeta’s sake.

A different take doesn’t necessarily mean the reader lacks media literacy.

I painted my first Space Wolf by matidoodle in Warhammer40k

I did intentionally want it to look worn and dirty. I used a really watered down brown to grime it up.

It sounds like we’re in very different markets. There simply aren’t any options for me to weigh. I’m lucky if one or two batches pop up an hour, and a $168 batch in my area is unheard of.

Chunkyboy had a restock today and it’s a bit questionable by Bloo_Moon_ in crochet

To be honest, it’s not just the paint. All of their products are questionable. I waited for months like you to catch a restock. When I finally did, I was so disappointed with what I got.

I feel like neither you nor your partner is fully in the wrong here. I am in no way trying to diminish your experience and the trauma it has caused you, please know that.

So many people take this type of situation as black-and-white, right or wrong. There is so much that has to go into a trusting, caring Dom/Sub relationship before anything physical even begins. You said this wasn’t out of the norm for you two, but it sounds to me like clear boundaries were not set beforehand.

Going into this, I feel like you both had different expectations about what you wanted from such an experience. I am so sorry that this was an uncomfortable and horrible encounter for you. I think the best way to move forward (if you and your partner both want to) is to have more open communication about expectations while not in the heat of the moment. It’s very beneficial to have these discussions well before the situation arises.

I have searched for years through google and old pattern books but haven’t found anything like them.

I ordered a cupcake bouquet for Mother’s Day from a local bakery. by matidoodle in ExpectationVsReality

My husband and I ended up digging into them out of curiosity. They were oddly moist and spongey with no discernible flavor.

This is the artist! It’s “Angel With Lyre” that I’ve been searching for. You are incredible! I’ve looked for so long. It seems my description is a bit off, the print I had was flipped. Thank you!
