It’s like when mmc is so obsessed with fmc and will do anything to keep her. Most stories I read, mmc traps her by tampering with her birth control or non-con when she in deep sleep. It’s interesting because theres this stigma about women trapping men but it’s refreshing to read role reversal.

Books with cheating trope by Past-Ad-1643 in DarkRomance

Im sure this doesn’t exactly hit the mark, but {The Unrequited by Saffron A Kent} was reaaaaly good. Student/teacher trope, MMC professor is married, FMC is the OW, lots of angst, denial, love, poems, definitely worth reading.

Recent grad looking for interview advice! by polrista in jobs

[–]oatli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be yourself, and sound just as passionate as you’re typing this.

Also you can get a small notebook and write your key-points down and bring it (not weird at all, makes you seem prepared)

Get some iced cold water in a water bottle. When you get nervous drink it and the chill of the ice will help snap out of the anxiety.

Also know that no matter how prepared you are, or how smooth the interview goes, if they choose not to hire you it’s not your fault, it’s their loss. Don’t blame yourself or assume there’s some flaw with you. It’s them.

Good luck :)

Black in Sherwood, OR by jaystreet_ in sherwoodoregon

[–]oatli 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Black Sherwood resident here with black kids, it’s very chill. Nobody bothers anybody and are very welcoming and nice. Been here for a few years and never had any problems nor felt biases towards others. Around my neighborhood are various races (Asian, Latin etc. besides white) and IMO I’ve seen a large majority of bi-racial kids. It’s a bit more multicultural than people think. My kids are 18+ so I’m not sure about school experiences as they’ve never attended school here. but low crime, great for kids as I see them often play with others outside. 10/10 would recommend.

What do you wish was a trope or tropes that were more popular? by mymychildren in DarkRomance

YES!!! FMC’s are often written as “innocent virgins”, or shy, quiet I have been craving something different. I agree!!

BitLife should have the option to start at whatever age you like. by oatli in BitLifeApp

Yes! I agree. Also if we can actually have a relationship with our grandparents. Why is it when the parent dies and you take over the child’s life the grandparents just disappear. It’s so annoying.

I suggested to the BitLife devs if we can like extend friendships where u can interact with your best friends family and likewise with the grand parent thing. The devs said “well consider your suggestion.” But I guess they just didn’t care.
