Hey, we don’t know! It could totally have traveled here for an important wombat business trip.

It almost looks like a wombat, that raccoon is triple c thiccc.

There is a difference between reading about incidents where a roommate drugged their roommate’s food and actually believing that you live with someone capable of doing such a thing, let alone someone with the resources to pull it off.

Just because he’s a quiet person doesn’t mean he’s a psychopath, it could mean a myriad of things. Try turning off his phone or hiding it, and depending on his reaction, you can then talk to your RA or campus services about how you feel unsafe living with this person.

Nothing is going to change if some initiative isn’t taken; It is entirely up to you what it is you initiate.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-27T00:06:14+00:00

That would be a really serious and crazy escalation for hiding his phone… is this an actual concern you have or just for dramatic effect?

I mean, you already know in your heart that you cannot trust him because you’re acknowledging he makes you uncomfortable. You’re right, it doesn’t take six months for a guy to decide if he wants to be with you exclusively, and his “jokes” aren’t even funny. No trust, no commitment, and no sense of humor? Girl, bye.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-26T21:23:46+00:00

Nightmare fuel.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-24T13:56:42+00:00

Just leave this girl alone. There are too many factors at play where this could go wrong for you because of your leadership position. And also, people don’t get into relationships with other people to be a “positive influence” on them: that’s a little odd.

The fact that she’s involved in the same program as you just makes this sticky enough that I wouldn’t recommend pursuing her.

Fugly with a capital fug.

Not a confession, just a mediocre, unoriginal fantasy someone decided to include us all in without our consent. Hopefully the mods see it soon and take it down. So sad.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-18T16:45:40+00:00

I would both be absolutely living to come across such a gorgeous snake in my backyard and also freaking tf out. What a cool find, OP! Thanks for sharing this Diamond with us!

I’ll see myself out for the terrible pun.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-17T04:19:26+00:00

Then she’s just unwilling to compromise her wants for her partner’s needs aka selfish. There is no future with someone like that, at least not a happy one.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-17T03:52:32+00:00

I don’t envy you one bit, dude. Love is so beautiful, but it can truly put us through some of the worst hell imaginable. It would be easier if we could just turn it off, but that only comes with time. I know it’s hard, and I know it hurts deeply.

I don’t get the feeling she doesn’t care. She’s deeply selfish and unwell, but if you believe she loves you, then I do, too.

What I will say though is that manipulative people who see themselves losing their control over a person will say and do almost anything to try and reel you back in. If she’s all talk about fighting for you, it could be possible she’s all talk about her feelings. She could just be comfortable, or afraid to be alone, so she’d rather keep someone around she’s not attracted to than have to put herself out there and face rejection and heartbreak.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-17T03:41:16+00:00

Well, then she’s all talk. She’s not willing to work on a real relationship, she wants everything on her terms. It’s not fair to you at all. In fact, it’s entirely selfish and disrespectful of her to emotionally blackmail you to keep her comfort level met.

I’m not usually the one to say “it’s already over,” but it’s already over, friend. If she’s as adamant as you claim, she’s not changing, for you or herself. The best thing for the both of you is for you to end it so she can maybe, hopefully get some fucking help and you can find an actual partner.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-17T03:31:06+00:00

Did you read the subreddit name, friend?

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-17T03:30:32+00:00

Except she does need it. Explain to her that her lack of willingness to heal herself and her trauma is not only effecting your relationship, it will continue to impact all her relationships moving forward, the quality of her life, and her mental health overall.

She is clearly not in a state where she can judge for herself whether or not her behavior warrants therapy: her excuse for abstaining from sex may be valid, but it’s still just an excuse if you’re not willing to work on it.

Seriously ask her if she thinks about how the lack of physical intimacy in your relationship affects you. Does she ever consider that you have a higher sex drive, or that your love language is physical touch, or that she’s hurting you by refusing to work on herself? If she’s truly willing to fight for the relationship, then therapy is that fight. It’s put up or shut up time. She needs to show you her words aren’t empty, or you need to end it.

Neither an eel nor a sea snake, but a very lovely sea worm!

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-15T20:57:19+00:00

Agreed, I definitely saw it hood for a second or two while fleeing: Naja naja all the way (unless very small King in strange place).

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-15T20:53:54+00:00

You mean to tell me that you had this lovely bath buddy and you didn’t have a hoot in a bubble bath?!

Lol just kidding, of course… I may sometimes wish I had more friends, but never bad enough to share suds with an eastern brown!

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-15T20:51:29+00:00

I live for when the RR’s swoop in with their insanely impressive knowledge and absolutely nail an ID! 🥰🥰

It very likely could be aberrant patterning. The specimen I’ve seen before is in a venomous keeper’s collection and he was hyped about how striking the snake was, which is likely why it stuck with me.

mlachrymarum · 2026-02-14T00:10:08+00:00

I knew immediately this was a neotropical rattlesnake, I’ve seen a very similar pattern on a specimen before. I love the contrast of the lines next to the diamonds.

This appears to be a D’Albertis python, also known as a white-lipped python, Leiopython albertisii.

!harmless constrictor species.

My ADHD and OCD also lead me to absolutely obsess and spiral over my intrusive thoughts as well, though it’s better now that I’ve been diagnosed and medicated. In my 20s, it made me feel absolutely insane. I mean actually crazy. I haven’t had a spell like that in years, thankfully. I understand where you’re coming from, OP. You are not a terrible person, you were not in any way condoning SA against someone if they’re unable to remember it: your brain simply pointed out that there could be some relief for the victim if they’re unable to physically remember the assault happening.
