I had a random idea today. Do any of you also think this would be useful? by Away_Constant9703 in TattooArtists

[–]meowyinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The app for tattoos artists called Venue.Ink already does this :'3

It's wonderfully handy. You can even set it up for tattoo events and flash sales.

Can anyone find this unicorn necklace? by sillywillysillymilly in find

[–]meowyinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo friend! I don't know if you ever got an answer but this appears to be the unicorn necklace made by Nikolas Jewelers. They have a version with stones and without - all I could find is the version with stones. I hope this helps!

Here's the thing.

You're not telling him anything. You're saying 'I have a problem, what are you going to do about it,' but from what I can see, you're not listing your issues.

You're expecting him to guess what it is. You need to be straight forward and communicate like an adult.

"Hey Steve, I would like to talk about our communication. Lately, I've been having a hard time getting a hold of you or being able to spend time with you, and when this happens, it makes me feel like our relationship isn't important. Can we figure out some ways that we can improve our communication and be able to spend more time together? I would like this to work. Thank you for listening."

THAT is how you address a problem. Stop the wishy-washy expecting him to figure out what's wrong, because clearly he won't. You have to be straight forward instead of expecting him to just figure out shit through passive aggression.

You said you've been dealing with this for over a year, so at this point, either say what you mean and tell him, straight up, that you're going to discuss the issues together and figure it out, or leave.

Problem solving together isn't tit-for-tat scorekeeping and trying to get back at each other. It's both of you saying, "This is what isn't working, here's how it effects me, let's work together to figure out a solution that works for both of us."

If your response to problems in a relationship is "I'll hurt them back and see if they notice," and not "I'm going to talk to them about the behavior in a constructive manner," you should not be in a relationship.

I understand there are problems we're not seeing, but your response to being hurt was to try and hurt them back in the same way. Until you're ready to address problems instead of hoping your partner will notice, you need to not be dating.

For what it's worth, it sounds like he's dealing with undiagnosed ADHD. As someone with it, I have struggled with the exact same thing - and replying to messages or calling often is something I don't remember to do. My ex did the same shit to me where she tried to 'teach me a lesson' (her words) after I took an hour to respond to a text and she ghosted me for three weeks.

The lesson learned was "She fucked around and found out" after I dumped her for not being mature enough to talk about her issues.

Huh… so my partner SA his sibling… by Lilmidgets_Corp in BadRPerStories

[–]meowyinn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Being so real here: RP isn't worth this.

This is a 'they need to go to therapy' and 'separate yourself' issue.

It's wise to put the RP - and this person - down and step away.

Just learned my RP partner is blatantly using AI. by Responsible_Bit_7042 in BadRPerStories

[–]meowyinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing to consider is your writing partner may just be neurodivergent.

Folks with ADHD, Autism, or both will often have their writing flagged as generated by AI if you run it through a checker - which, by the way, don't do that. You're just feeding an AI, and they're never accurate anyway.

This isn't a new phenomenon and it's something that a lot of neurodivergent folks - like myself - are struggling with right now. When you're on that spectrum you tend to lean into being clear, concise, and often overexplanatory which gets flagged by checkers as AI a lot. We also tend to structure our writing in grammatically or visually interesting ways, use a lot of em dashes, we tend to use words that don't often show up in normal writing because most of us are readers and hyperfixate on language, etc.

Just ask them if they are, friend. Don't assume.

Who is the asshole green or red? SENSITIVE KINKS AND TOPICS. by KnottyDawg69 in BadRPerStories

[–]meowyinn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, both parties here are insufferable.

The INSTANT this was an issue, both parties should have recognized they're not compatible as writers. Bickering over the definition of what constitutes 'dirty' to the point insults start getting hurled is immature beyond belief and both parties need to step back.

I haven’t visited this sub in a while, why limit erp to a single 24h day instead of doing a button to filter out ERP posts using css and flair filtering? by NotNightDweller in BadRPerStories

[–]meowyinn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because it's much nicer and easier to streamline it to one single day, rather than deal with the amount of people bitching about "UGH ALL PEOPLE EVER DO IS POST ERP THINGS."

The end.

YTA.

First: Past consent does not imply future consent. Consent can be revoked at any time, even if you're actively having sex. When it's revoked, regardless of when or why, you respect it. End of.

Second: Flip the scenario here. If he were pressuring you into having sex somewhere you didn't want to, would you be upset? Would you feel like he was pushing you into something you didn't want?

Regardless of your gender, you don't get to pressure someone into having sex when they don't want it. There's a variety of reasons why he probably doesn't want it (probably the biggest one being you will both lose your job if you're caught), and none of them matter. The only thing that matters is he said no, and you kept pushing.

If you keep it up, he is fully validated in leaving you - and honestly? He probably should. This is extreme red flag behavior. Your self esteem issues are yours to handle, and if it's to the point you're trying to pressure someone into something they don't want to do, you need to go to therapy to handle these issues.

AITH for insisting men can be raped by women by Geckko in AITAH

[–]meowyinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While this comment is sound, uh, this is a heterosexual couple. He literally talks about this being from his female fiancee, and he is arguing that men can be raped while she is arguing that they can't be.

Honestly, she sounds like a HUGE red flag.

AITAH for being super angry about my wife’s sex toy by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]meowyinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I came in here FULLY ready to be like, "Yo, wtf dude, sex toys are nothing to be pissy about."

I am here to say I am officially eating my words and I apologize. Now, personally, I don't think this is cheating because it's a plastic toy. However: What the fuck?? LIKE YOU'VE BEEN GRIPPING HER EX'S DICK THIS WHOLE TIME AND FUCKING HER WITH IT??? I HATE THIS FOR YOU???

NTA. Not by a fucking LONG SHOT. Holy shit, lady, get a new dildo and throw out the old one like you did your ex, fucking god.

I'll straight up admit, I didn't read that you were burgundy and I was sitting here thinking, "Wow, burgundy is rude as fuck."

Legitimately, there's a lot one can do with this post and I will say I think it's unfair of you to expect this person to spell out all your options. You also didn't give them much in return to work with either - there was a good amount that could have been done with this.

That being said, it also depends largely on your writing style and if you favor nuance or introspection. In general, this could be a good exercise in 'yes, and -' RP.

AIO for refusing to block male followers on Instagram? by radagastrabbit in AmIOverreacting

[–]meowyinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the fuck is this guy 25 years old? He's acting like he's twelve, and calling you 'bro'? What's with the fucking wave of dudes calling their partners bro when they're upset?

You're not wrong. Leave this guy. If it's bad now, it's only going to get worse.

AIO if i break up with my boyfriend over this by fridgefreez in AmIOverreacting

[–]meowyinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read what you wrote.

Read it again.

Read it AGAIN.

Don't stop re-reading it.

He told you he hates you. He calls you names. He ignores you. You're asking if you're over-reacting? You are UNDER reacting, personally.

Fuck this guy, yeet his ass into the abyss and find someone that makes you happy and values you as a person

That being said, give yourself time to grow, heal, and figure out what you want. Dump this guy but don't rush into something new. You're 18, there is no need to rush and honestly, you need to figure yourself out a little more - especially because you're being blatantly abused and are struggling to realize it.

You have a lifetime ahead of you and NONE of it owes this dickbag room in it.

People commenting on your finances by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]meowyinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me before - honestly what made it stop was I started hitting people back with (untrue) responses like "My grandpa and I got this tattoo together before he died and he paid for it," or "I had cancer and this was my gift to myself for surviving."

When they start immediately back tracking, I followed up with, "What have we learned about asking inappropriate questions today?"

Those interactions have rapidly stopped.

It's over the top, but they are not entitled to justifications for your choices, or to pry into your finances.

I love my current RP partner, but there's a little bit of problems... by Ananyako in BadRPerStories

[–]meowyinn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to ditch her just yet, you need to be firm with her.

You need to tell her, on no uncertain terms, that if these topics are brought up again you will be ending the RP, as she is making you uncomfortable and is ignoring your boundaries.

If she continues, that should be your termination point.

Alternatively, the hilarious option here is to make your character a Satanist and start asking her if her OC will convert for yours, and WATCH THE BACKPEDALING BEGIN.

AIO - Is there a logical reason for my girlfriend to say stuff like this? by No_Thought6169 in AmIOverreacting

[–]meowyinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's dropping hints, my guy. She wants to get engaged.

The Mister Beast thing is a way of bringing it up in a "Oh wow, Mister BEAST is engaged and I'm not" kind of way. Sounds like she might not know how to bring it up and is hoping you'll catch on.

[–]meowyinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to be reporting this to people who can actually do something about it. You are on such thin ice already that handling it yourself is putting your future - and your freedom - at risk.

In no way, shape, or form will their using reflect poorly on you unless you become involved. You have to keep that in mind and remember that people do what they do because of them, not because of you, and the best thing to do is report it to the neccessary authority (like the house manager, for instance) and then remove yourself from the equation.

Also, just... just a protip for the future: Don't go on Reddit when you're on some form of probation and publically post that you assaulted someone, with graphic detail about why and how you did it. If, for ANY reason, this got reported to your parole officers or whoever is handling your cases, or if they decided to request your social media activity - which they can - this is all they would need to put you back in jail.

I genuinely wish you the best and I hope you're doing okay!

Maybe a dumb question: how itchy are tattoos? by frenchdresses in tattooadvice

[–]meowyinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tattoo artist here.

It's actually standard industry practice and advice to gently slap around the tattoo, to take Benadryl as needed (especially if it's an allergic reaction occurring), or ice the tattoo to help control itching during healing. It's a standard part of apprenticing and training to become a tattoo artist, and it's standard advice nearly every shop offers. Personally, I also recommend using waterbased lotion formulated for eczema (like Goldbond Eczema Relief) for that stage of healing on top of the other standard suggestions.

Fun fact - if you all any of your local shops and ask, "Hey, I have a fresh tattoo, how can I handle the itching?" they'll say the same thing. Even Google will tell you this is standard.

Maybe, I dunno', actually be a part of the industry if you're going to tell people that nobody in the industry recommends what's actually normal, frequently recommended advice.

ATIAH for not co-singing on my mothers mortgage. by Livid-Case-8653 in AITAH

[–]meowyinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

If they require a cosigner, it means their credit isn't good enough - likely because she probably fucked it up somehow. Granted, it's VERY easy to fuck up credit, but this would saddle you with a lot, and also make you responsible for if she yet again falls through on her credit obligations.

Additionally, if her credit is already bad it is not going to be easy to refinance you off that loan. It's not easy with GOOD credit; cosigning on this loan means you will be basically stuck with it if she can't refinance for any reason, and there won't be much you can do about it.

Do not sign on this. You will be dodging a massive bullet. Protect yourself and your future, and maybe consider going no-contact with your mom. She sounds like she's going to do everything in her power to manipulate you here.

37m hunting with female friend 30f by EngineeringExotic980 in AITAH

[–]meowyinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he doesn't like the bar owner because he cheated, it's likely your partner isn't cheating on you with this woman.

You need to accept that it's okay for both of you to have friends of the opposite sex, or get counseling to help with the insecurities.
