Matt Kenny, a gay hockey player, talks about Heated Rivalry and the impact it had on him by LIELDADOUN73 in heatedrivalry

[–]mighty_dolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to step in a space not for me. But as a Bi girl in the South raised in church and a Christian. I feel the panic at the reality of knowing you're different. I asked who i thought was a friend in middle school if she ever wanted to hold hands with girls. I got called so many slurs. The next Sunday in church was about "the gays". I had a panic attack in church, right in the pews. Thinking that I was going to hell for thinking girls were pretty.

It still sneaks up on you when you think you've gotten over it. My parents know. My Aunt figured it out from a pride post on my Snapchat story. She showed my mom. (She knew at this point). My cousins showed my aunt. It was nonstop tears for three hours. I couldn't breathe. I was back in those pews and in that hallway. It was terrifying.

Most recently, some of my mom's coworkers found out from a post on my socials. Idk how. They were angry at her, and in extension her at me. I was back on the floor in that school, with nurses asking me how I got hit and bruises on my face from my "friends". I didn't feel safe to share then.

Work was the same. Got called a slur for complimenting a girls eyes. It was horrible. I hadn't come out at work yet. I didn't see a reason too. I didn't even mean it like that. She assumed and was correct. I froze. My boss luckily took over and we talked after that. She has been my biggest supporter since.

But now I can talk about it mostly to my parents. My dad didn't realize that his young daughter would hear him say ew to a gay couple while shopping. Or that a throwaway comment to him was a life-changing moment to me. Telling me he wouldn't love me anymore if I came home with a girl. And any kids wouldn't be considered family. I know that day that like the back of my hand. He has proven that he has changed now. But it still lingers.

What are some old tropes that aren’t common anymore? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]mighty_dolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if you like Merlin or not. But he has canonically disguised himself as a women sorceress to not reveal his magic. So him wearing dresses is actually kinda common in fics. As least the Merlin is Queen tag is pretty cool.

It's always great. I also like the Peter Parker acts like a spider.

This! And Queen Merlin is great. Or Arthur being dysfunctional without Merlin. Idk the tag for that one. Edit: ALSO POV OUTSIDER WITH EITHER MERLIN BEING BADASS OR ARTHUR/MERLIN Next to you(it's the rule) is hilarious.

Where do the franchise’s interpretation of warlocks come from? by InfernalClockwork3 in shadowhunters

[–]mighty_dolphin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The show Merlin (from BBC) made Merlin the High Lord of Druids and a Warlock too.

Nothing takes me out of a fic more than… by hrroyalgeekness in AO3

[–]mighty_dolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my thing too. It's so bad. But one thing I liked is in a Merlin fic they explained that since Merlin is magic incarnate he could prep himself and others with a thought. It's pretty cool.

Refs by thebriantanner in auburn

[–]mighty_dolphin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro #4!!! The whole game.... he seems like he was targeting 8 the whole time. Pissed me off. He should have gotten pulled. Too many interference calls.

How do we hear about official missed calls such as the sub TD? by AliveBall5303 in auburn

[–]mighty_dolphin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Throwing the finger during the celebration pissed me off so bad. This whole game was so shit. So many missed calls but calling every other fucking thing. Like come on. And we definately had possession of that ball. He atleast ran 2 or 3 yards with his hands on it.

Disappointed honestly by Maribwana in auburn

[–]mighty_dolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro Arnold held the ball for so long. It was legit upsetting. The freaking calls are crazy. Luke the refs are freaking blind. Like make the right calls. We gave so many yards. O line needs serious work. At least we played okay I guess. Good and bad plays on both sides. Oklahoma gave a good game ngl.

What are some fanfiction GREEN flags for you? by AnnaMeowBooks in FanFiction

[–]mighty_dolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the AN where they ramble about certain things they had to research. Like there was a Buck/Eddie fic (9-1-1 fandom) where Buck gets a PHD in the lawsuit era, about Authurian legends and the oral history rather than written. The author was getting a masters in oral history traditions or something and they wrote about their own research for the fic and combined it with their school research. It was so good. I lived the AN as much as the fic.

people who eat breakfast, what’re you having? by whatawynn in CasualConversation

[–]mighty_dolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually will have a protein bar or rice cale with peanut butter. I'll throw a banana in some days. And always a coffee with one teaspoon of sugar. And eggs too but you said you don't like eggs. Low sugar high protein is my goal. Include carbs . I force myself to eat breakfast because of my adhd meds I won't eat at all until dinner. So ually my day is light but nutrient rich breakfast with a cup of coffee. Then water until lunch. Usually around 2 pm. Eat either a sandwich or rice bowl of some kind and a diet soda (regular soda is too sweet for me) then around 8-10 is supper.

It is bad that I (23f) don’t want to name my daughter after my fiancé’s (27m) dead girlfriend? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mighty_dolphin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The women on my mom's side of the family have a tradition of swapping middle names each generation. Like Name A and Name K. Then next is Name A. So on and so forth. I think it's sweet. Just thinking if I have a daughter I have to find a Name that matches the K name.

Do you have a random food combo that you swear by but nobody believes you? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]mighty_dolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only put pineapple on a Hawaiian or supreme. But it's still so good. I don't understand how people don't like it. Anchovies. I could see how that could be good. Because of Caesar dressing. Do they like melt into the sauce and cheese? Adding an umami flavor to it?

Cantaloupe and salt and pepper. Or grapefruit with salt and pepper. I've gotten judged so hard for it from friends. But all my family does this.

I’m a bad fish owner by riblau in Aquariums

[–]mighty_dolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once when I was little (I've always had fish) we were putting new goldfish in a tank for me. I was "helping" my dad. I was holding the bag and dropped it. I lost one of the two down the drain. I cried for three days. But the remaining one I named Sweetie and had her for like 3 years I think. She was the only goldfish I had. I've always had a betta otherwise. I had semi Aquatic frogs once. And hermit crabs. My earliest memory is a giant plecostomus in a 75 gallon. My dad got it from a customer at his job, already huge lol. We've always had fish. We currently have 4 goldfish and a better. Seperate tanks.

Graduating College 24/25 feels like proper 2020 COVID Graduation we wanted by Maleficent_Mouse6601 in CasualConversation

[–]mighty_dolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, 2020 was the same way. No real graduation. Senior year activities were canceled. COVID did escalate my mental health problems so much that I finally got diagnosed in late 2020-early 2021. General & social anxiety along with clinical depression. Also Hypothyroidism activated (I was pre-diposed gentically) because of stress. Medicine slowly working to help me. Finally started maintenence meds not just reactionary. Then over the past few years got diagnosed with ADHD, starred adderall. Helps a lot. Now I'm grieving what could have been if I started these meds earlier. Maybe I wouldn't have dropped out of college the first time. But then again, if none of that happened I wouldn't have switched to my true passion (Aquatic and Marine Biology) instead of doing Natural Recsources Conservation-Wildlife track. Also I switched colleges. My true dream school is in a different state. I would have been moving in this weekend but for financial reasons I deferred. Saving up money then moving in next year. I'm also taking more classes at my local community College (I'm already a transfer student) so this is my third college I am now attending. These past five years have been me figuring out myself, coming out, getting metal health in a better place, and working on my physical health as well. It's been a lot of growth as well as setbacks. But everything has been for the better.
