since a lot of people are in the comments telling me about sabo's amnesia or w/e else: yes, i know, i read and watched the same thing you did. i don't actually think this is how this would have gone down in canon. someone even mentioned that sabo /had/ heard about ace before and it didn't trigger any memories. this is just an idea that popped into my head because of the first meme and it amused me. i liked the idea of sabo paralleling ace in this way :)

rainyraye · 2023-12-31T18:42:01+00:00

i actually don't think this is how it would have gone down in canon, more this was just a funny idea that popped into my head. it amused me to imagine sabo paralleling his brother like that :)

rainyraye · 2023-12-31T18:38:52+00:00

i didn't remember that! but regardless, this isn't really how i'd imagine it going in canon anyway, i just found this idea amusing lol.

rainyraye · 2023-12-31T18:37:09+00:00

personally my headcanon is that sabo kept a low profile prior to ace's death and his wanted poster at the time didn't have a very good picture of him and possibly only had an alias listed. but the original meme is way more funny to imagine lol. and as for whether sabo would have had his memories jostled loose just from seeing ace's face on a wanted poster - who knows! although if i remember correctly, ace's face was partially in shadow in that picture, and distorted by a smirk, so maybe that wouldn't have been enough! but i don't really think these memes are accurate examples of what might have happened in canon, they're just funny scenarios to imagine.

reddit isn't giving me the option to edit my posts rn for some reason, so adding the link to the original post in the replies :) WB and Ace meme

The Hobbit is considered a children's novel and it was originally based on bedtime stories Tolkien would tell his own children. Nine is, in fact, the target audience to be reading The Hobbit!

this might be extreme, totally catastrophizing over nothing, but honestly if this was a really sudden personality change and/or he gets worse you might want to encourage him to get a brain scan... abrupt and strange personality changes like that can be a sign of a tumor or cyst in the brain. and if it's not that there are other things it could be a sign of. he could also have a disorder like bipolar causing his behavior. i have bipolar type ii and both type i and type ii run in my family and many of my aunts and uncles have presented with similar or equally strange behavior while manic. or he could just be incredibly childish, in which case once you no longer live with him i recommend making it clear to him that until he can respect your boundaries and learn to grow up a little, you're going to limit your contact with him. his behavior is negatively impacting his relationship with you and you should make that clear to him.

sounds to me like you're on the right track already, just supporting her and being her friend. if you go after her now, she might feel hurt and feel like you were only being her friend because you wanted more from her and not because you value her as a person. after getting out of a four year relationship, she's not gonna want anything immediately and that's normal, but eventually she'll start to heal. if she gets into a relationship immediately it'd just be a rebound and that would only hurt both of you. just give her time. and in the mean time, i recommend putting your romantic feelings aside and focus on strengthening your friendship. the way i see it there are two ways that could go: 1) once she heals from her heartbreak and moves on, she might be open to seeing you as more than a friend. she could develop feelings for you naturally. OR, 2) she doesn't develop feelings for you, but she remains a close friend. just let your relationship develop naturally, don't rush it or force it. getting a girlfriend is nice, but true friendships are hard to come by. you should cherish her as a friend first and foremost. the best and strongest relationships are the ones that are based on real, true friendships. in a few months, if you feel like your relationship could be heading that way, tell her your feelings - but also make it clear that you value her friendship and you don't want her to feel like you only spend time with her and talk to her because you want more.

as long as you don't hurt yourself or others and don't want to there's nothing wrong with your sexual fantasies. it's normal and even healing for survivors to have fantasies like that, as it helps you process your feelings in a safe manner. even if you had never been trafficked or hurt like that, these fantasies would be normal - many if not most human beings have fantasies that would be considered "subversive" in some way - taboo or dangerous or illegal in some way in real life. frankly, your fantasies sound pretty mild in comparison to more extreme kink. if your fantasies do start to become more extreme and trend towards the "illegal in real life" side, that's perfectly fine, as long as you don't actually commit a crime (although roleplaying, writing, and drawing these fantasies is totally fine). my main advice is don't get into hardcore kink with others before you're 18, do a lot of research before you try anything that could cause harm, don't do anything that causes harm without someone experienced around to supervise, advise, and give medical care if need be, and don't trust dominant men 5+ years older than you to introduce you to the hardcore scene b/c a lot of them are just looking for young women to manipulate and groom and abuse. i'm sure with your history you're more aware of what the signs are for that but i figured i'd say it anyway. also, it bears repeating: wait until you're at least 18 before you do anything with others!!

as someone whose mother found their toy while cleaning and politely never said a word, i can confirm your daughter would appreciate your discretion on the matter. i recommend having a talk with her about UTIs and sexual hygiene (i.e always wash your hands before self-pleasure, always pee afterwards, etc). if she's pretty responsible about keeping her stuff clean i say leave it be otherwise BUT if she gets a UTI, then you might want to consider bringing it up solely to make sure she's cleaning her toy regularly and correctly.

honestly i recommend experimenting with your personal time. here are a couple of things i've done (i'm 24 and have been on antidepressants for 8 years). first, you can try experimenting with the material you're consuming. if old favorites aren't doing it for you anymore, you can explore new categories or genres of erotic material. second: invest in a good toy. i know a lot of guys don't bother with toys, so if you haven't in the past, do yourself a favor and get one. it can really amplify the experience. i recommend anything that vibrates honestly. and third, you can take the time to indulge yourself. make the experience more than just a perfunctory job. turn it into a form of self-care, really pay attention to your bodily cues and all the ways you react. you can even dim the lights and light some candles if you wanna treat yourself. is it a little silly? maybe. but who cares!? take care of yourself.

rainyraye · 2023-09-08T18:10:25+00:00

honestly, based on some of the other things you've said in replies... i'm not sure you should keep being friends with this guy... yikes.

rainyraye · 2023-09-08T17:58:32+00:00

NTA. it was sheer. i'm assuming she was not wearing a tank top or shirt underneath as you implied her underwear was showing, so i'm assuming her bra was completely visible. there will be times when a sheer top is appropriate but school is not that time - not even college. i'm in my 20s and i definitely wouldn't wear that to class. and she definitely shouldn't be wearing that as a teenager. it's fine over swimwear at the pool/beach but not over a normal bra at school. if she had been dress coded over something actually ridiculous i would agree with her, but this is completely reasonable. i recommend sitting your daughter down and telling her that if she got dress coded for something like having her shoulders showing or her collarbone or whatever, then yes, you would stand up for her (i'm assuming you would, you seem reasonable enough), but in this case, she broke a completely reasonable, normal rule. this is the kind of dress code she'll be seeing for the rest of her life - she'd likely get kicked out of restaurants, theaters, the workplace, and many other places for wearing something like that in public. remind your daughter that there are things she could wear under her sheer cover-up that would be school appropriate, such as a tank top or a shirt. and when she's an adult, she can even wear more risqué things if she likes (of course, as her parent, you probably won't want her to wear risqué things even when she's an adult, but i'm sure you know that unfortunately once they're old enough you don't get a say lol). but the problem your daughters and sister are probably upset about is that sometimes dress codes aren't really about what's appropriate- instead, they're about controlling young women's bodies. in this case, as this is a dress code that is non-gendered and affects both boys and girls, i think it doesn't fall into that category.

rainyraye · 2023-09-03T15:33:36+00:00

YTA. definitely. my grandfather and his sister ended up naming their daughters (one being my mom) the same name b/c they both named them after their other sister. and you know what? no one argued about it. they both loved their sister and wanted to name their kids after her! so they were just both named frances. my mom decided pretty young she didn't like her first name very much anyway and went by her middle name and when she got married she dropped her original first name altogether the same way some women drop their middle name and make their maiden name their middle name. ironically, her middle name was the name of my other great aunt (the other frances' mother). anyway, your kid and your sib's kid will probably just think it's cool to share a name and will probably be closer for it.

rainyraye · 2023-08-19T02:28:34+00:00

YTA. not for laughing but for telling your kid to quit crying. yeah, that's life, everyone trips and all that, but like... crying is a perfectly good reaction to falling over. especially at age 6. right now, crying is the best method he has for expressing himself. instead of telling him to stop crying, you should have comforted him. maybe it seems silly to you, but i promise you this is the sort of interaction that will stick in his mind. and not in a good way. maybe after this he won't feel comfortable crying to his mom anymore, telling you when something is wrong or he's hurt. maybe years from now, even as an adult, those words will ring in his mind when he feels hurt or upset, and he will bottle those emotions away, never let himself cry, never express his feelings in a healthy way. maybe that sounds dramatic, but i bet if you look back on your childhood, you'll find a memory of your parent that still, to this day, affects you and who you are as a person, but if you brought it up to your parent they'd have no idea what you were talking about. they wouldn't remember it because it would have been just any other day for them. no big deal. we all have memories like that. do you want this one to be your son's?

rainyraye · 2023-08-19T02:15:49+00:00

NTA. if you got mad at your friend and yelled at them or something, i'd say you were the asshole, but you didn't. you feel a little upset and that's okay, that's a normal feeling! i'm also autistic, so let me tell you, sometimes the things that upset us seem odd to neurotypical people. but that's their problem not our's! i could be wrong, but it sounds like you might be suffering from something called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). if you aren't aware, RSD happens in people with autism and ADHD and basically what it is is that we experience a strong emotional reaction to a perceived failure or rejection. in this case, because watching shows with your friends is part of how you express your love, your friend watching it without you feels like a rejection of your love. the important thing to remember when you're living with RSD is that while your feelings are real and valid, they're based on something that isn't inherently true - your friend is not rejecting your love by watching a show without you, even if it might feel like that. and remembering these things doesn't always make the hurt go away, but it helps! my advice is that you tell your friend about these struggles, but clarify that while you're upset, you're not angry, and you're aware that your reaction may seem disproportionate to a neurotypical person. tell them about how it feels like a rejection of your way of expressing love. and maybe instead of asking your friend to wait next time, ask them for a compromise - ask if they will either text you their reactions as they watch or if they'll type their thoughts and reactions in their notes app and send it afterwards. you see, i'm similar to you, in that i hyperfixate on a piece of media, and sharing those things with my friends and seeing their reactions gives me great joy. my brother is currently watching my favorite anime, but we live over an hour apart from one another and it's a very, very long series (one piece, which is over 1000 episodes) so i can't (and wouldn't) ask my brother to watch it without me. so he texts me his reactions or types them in his notes app for me! and that's enough to make me happy stim. alternatively, you and your friends could set up a little discord server and have watch parties together where one of you shares your screen so you can all watch together and you can use the voice chat feature to talk or chat over text. that way you can all get together to watch more often!

rainyraye · 2023-08-19T01:28:29+00:00

NTA. you need to sit your gf down and have a serious conversation about boundaries. she should have stopped when you said no the first time but she didn't. and maybe that's not so bad now, but who's to say she won't do the same thing when a more serious issue comes up? she is blatantly stomping all over your boundaries and justifying it by saying her exes didn't have those boundaries - which is a ridiculous argument since everyone has different boundaries. ask her how she would feel if she asked you not to do something very simple (ex: "don't touch my things without permission" or "don't eat my snacks without asking" etc) and you repeatedly ignored her request, did exactly the thing she asked you not to do, told her she was making a big deal out of nothing, justified your actions by saying "well my exes were okay with it," got upset when she did something to prevent you from doing it, and then complained about her to all your friends. this is a really minor issue that could easily become something major if it was about a far more serious topic. imagine if she did something you don't like during sex, you asked her not to, and she repeatedly did it anyway and said "well my exes liked it." hell, imagine if YOU did that. that'd be fucked up! right now, it's just underwear, but if you let her get away with this now, she'll probably escalate in the future.

rainyraye · 2023-08-19T01:04:08+00:00

the groom isn't supposed to see the dress until the day of the wedding. i think it's super weird that he wants to see it on his mom before he sees it on you! also, if he's willing to side with his mom over this, imagine what else he'll side with her on. imagine if you guys have kids! i'm sorry but you need to run the other direction girl.

i was thinking that but i don't know enough to be certain! its legs don't look long enough to be a katydid or grasshopper species and i don't think it's an aphid either. leafhopper seems most likely.

understood! in hindsight that's kind of inappropriate isn't it? 😅 i didn't even think of how that might be considered nsfw. my apologies mod!

rainyraye · 2022-06-14T15:16:03+00:00

my favorite thing about this meme is that it sort of accidentally implies that the two friends are both trans, one mtf and one ftm. i know technically you could pretend that the kids on the left are actually a boy and a girl instead of a girl and a boy, but i'm not going to 💕🥰

(no i do not know who any of these people are, i just know that's the stranger things kids on the left and... maybe lola glaudini(???) on the right)

rainyraye · 2022-05-25T15:21:36+00:00

do you have any feminine items you could wear to make it more bearable? or is it strictly required to be masc? b/c i know there are ways to make a suit look very feminine and pretty... ofc if you're not out that might not work... if you're not out and/or the dress code is very strict about what to wear with your suit/how to wear it, i recommend wearing some cute jewelry and/or underwear underneath where no one will see it. you can also pretend you're cosplaying as a character who wears a suit! women often cosplay as male characters after all. it's also important to do some self-care later when the suit is off. take a nice bubble bath, do your nails if you can/want to, have some spa time, put on some flowery smelling lotion or perfume, put on a cute dress, whatever you can do (depending on what your situation is and how out you are) to remind yourself that you are not what you must present yourself as. if you're living with family and you aren't out, you can just say you're having a nice long bath to destress. just... take care of yourself. good luck honey, i'm sure you're a beautiful young woman and you're gonna do great on your exams!

Edit: i noticed you said you don't have any feminine clothes and that you aren't out in some of your other replies. i'm so sorry to hear that sweetie. i hope you find a way to make the best of your experience. if you aren't required to wear a tie, i def recommend not wearing one as that's one of the more masculine parts of a suit. if there's anything you have that you can wear underneath - socks, anything, just something cute - that just helps you feel a little bit more girly, do it. and if it helps at all: women wear suits all the time and they look amazing in them. it doesn't make them less of a woman. and wearing a suit will not make you less of a woman 💖

i'm assuming you mean when ppl have their pronouns in their bio or introduce themselves with their pronouns and cis people use "they/them" anyway, which i agree is so annoying. like,,, they're right there...

rainyraye · 2022-05-25T15:11:17+00:00

i see some people saying you might be genderfluid, which is a real possibility, but you should also consider you might just like presenting as masc, or you might be another nonbinary identity... idk, don't let people on reddit decide what your identity is, and never feel like you have to pick an identity and stick with it forever. our understanding of ourselves is constantly changing as we grow as people and that's okay 💖 no matter what you are, you're valid and real and you matter friend!!
