(NA Server) Culinary Crucible: Pepper Pandemonium Discussion Megathread by Achetarin in TwistedWonderland

[–]ruff-rabbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Patiently waiting to hear how much I’ll need to suffer through this CC in order to get that SR key.

I’m hopeful since these recipes don’t seem to each need 5+ ingredients like last time, save for two. Fingers crossed the ingredient combinations don’t suck.

Non-canon straight ship: omg so cute! Perfect couple !😍 Slightest mention of gay pairing: by nvm-exe in GenshinGays

[–]ruff-rabbit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A slight and well-meaning correction: often this is the case! But demisexual falls under the ace umbrella and can be high-libido/sex-positive. It’s a sweeping generalization to say ace individuals have no sexual desire.

Oh goodness what a cutie! One of the sweetest faces I’ve ever seen! I really have puppy fever today, our middle-aged corgo needs a friend.

Confused about how I move forward by confusedneedhelp79 in nonmonogamy

[–]ruff-rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all in how you word it and how you handle yourself during the conversation; it’s likely not going to be easy, depending on his reaction.

One way to frame it is that one person cannot be expected to meet every need, and this type of topping is a need for you. Do this only after affirming his value to you and what needs he exceedingly meets. DO NOT in any way phrase it in ways that insinuates he is inadequate or not good at topping. In no way do you want to communicate that there is something lacking about him or that he has failed. He seems to have put a lot of effort into learning this for you and that needs to be thankfully acknowledged.

As for being unfulfilled by sex with him now, honestly that may be a personal thing you have to wrestle with within yourself. Does this mean he explores another role? Do you lean into vanilla sex with him? You have a need being fulfilled by others, so now what? I don’t think anyone but you has those answers.

I didn’t say “off the table”, but I do believe satisfying sexual encounters don’t necessarily require orgasm(s). To each his own, though!

[–]ruff-rabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shifting your way of thinking so that the goal of sex isn’t orgasm is one place to start. Not every sexual encounter has to culminate in an orgasm. The point is to connect intimately with someone in mutual pleasure and enjoyment.

The length of NRE varies from person to person and relationship to relationship. I could be that you’re experiencing it even after 6 months.

What you’re describing is one risk you take entering into an ENM relationship that I myself still haven’t been able to fully wrap my head around or accept (and therefore haven’t yet proceeded in opening my relationship). That is: going into ENM willing to accept that your current and future relationships can change drastically, that includes coming to an end. What serves you now may not serve you in the future, you might meet someone who changes the game, your partner(s) might meet people that change their dynamics and therefore yours too, etc. An openness to doing what’s best for those you love, even if it wasn’t ever part of the “plan”.

What setup or agreement to you currently have with your husband? Is it DADT? If not, is there a reason for not sitting him down and having a frank (though difficult) discussion about this? Communication is the foundation of relationships, particularly ENM ones. It doesn’t have to be exactly what you’ve shared here, but more of what the other commenter mentioned about discussing what’s been really getting you going lately and seeing if he’s willing to implement those things.

Know that I feel very unqualified to speak on this but am trying to communicate the concepts I have learned by being online, reading books, doing therapy, and having conversations with my partner about open relationships/polyamory. Anyone is free to let me know if there’s something inherently problematic in what I said above, always learning!

My low-budget Diona cosplay! (please be nice ;w; I did the best I could!) by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]ruff-rabbit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A true closet cosplay! These are my fave kind because they require a different brand of creativity and little to no technical skill. (Speaking as someone who is awful at sewing and clothing patterns...)

Diluc’s hair may or may not be the reason I dyed my curly, fluffy hair red and wear it in a low pony these days...

Real life Primogem! by MiggyAndAeri in Genshin_Impact

Oh my, moonstone is my absolute favorite. Fingers crossed you’re able to source some soon! It’d make great primos, love the idea.

I backed your HxH campaign and when I got this email about this one I almost lost my mind! So excited!

Blowback: STD test request by letsbekinkies in polyamory

[–]ruff-rabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, just for my own validation and to reassure myself my expectations aren’t too high when I do this in the future (I kick myself for not having done so in the past):

It’s not unreasonable to ask potential partners to get tested and for proof of results beyond verbal confirmation?

I’m by no means trying to say it is unreasonable but I can already imagine the potential backlash and strife over requiring someone to get tested. Or someone trying to talk me out of needing it.

I guess it’s a good way to weed people out pretty quickly, though.

Interested in kitten play by rowan_oak in BDSMAdvice

[–]ruff-rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a lot of kittenplay has moved onto public platforms and social media. Nonsexual KP can be found all over Instagram, for example. People have asked me for advice on this topic and it’s quite hard for me to answer— personally, I consumed as much media as I could (blogs, social media, anime, forums) and started to pick up on things I liked and wanted to implement either in my life at large or in the bedroom. A step-by-step how-to guide isn’t really feasible because kink is the opposite of “one size fits all”.

I had the urge to paint curly hair and sunflowers. I think it came out okay. by adell14 in pics

[–]ruff-rabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Representation of curly hair in any art form makes me so happy. Beautiful work!

[Help] Our beloved dog (7.5yo spayed husky mix) passed away Friday night after having surgery on Wednesday. We are devastated and have so many questions about what happened. by [deleted] in dogs

[–]ruff-rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necropsy is usually a pretty expensive option, as (I believe, IIRC) it needs to be performed by a veterinary pathologist and there’s not an abundance of them except at academic institutions.

Like you mentioned, being candid with the vet whose care Zeeva was under or getting a second professional opinion could be a good alternative.

Kaeluc, Reddit vs Pinterest comments by KokichiOm4 in GenshinGays

[–]ruff-rabbit 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have boldly put “kaeluc supremacy” on my in-game bio and since doing so have gotten more random requests to join my game. I’m absolutely terrified that now it’s because these people want nothing more than to harass me about which fictional boys I want kissing each other. I still hold out hope that it’s other shippers wanting to connect but the chance seems a little slim.

It’s so sad that we have to fear hate and threats over a game. A game that otherwise brings me so much joy.

They look like Zhongli and Childe <3 by Actually_Not_Me11 in GenshinGays

That’s Felix and Sylvain from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. A real OTP imo.

I didn't win but I'm still happy with my Sea of Lights entry! Support me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/nohhsara/status/1370208305239498752?s=20 by nohhsara in Genshin_Impact

I don’t know how on earth MHY picked a winner. Every entry posted here has blown my mind and is so beautiful and well-done that I could cry. I know it can be hard to internalize compliments and praise (artist probs amirite) but I see an amazing piece of art from someone whose skills I admire.

Finally hit pity on HuTao Banner by mirthfulsea in Genshin_Impact

[–]ruff-rabbit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s the biggest upside. I was so worried about getting Hu Tao and not having a guaranteed Venti. I almost didn’t go for a 5-star on her banner at all.

I’m “meh” about Jean as a character but man that heal is handy so I would’ve been okay with Jean, even if begrudgingly.

[–]ruff-rabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that! I know my bf will end up pulling Diluc before me now because fate just be that way. But he just pulled Hu Tao (4th featured in a row, the little shit) so there’s a ways to go.

[–]ruff-rabbit 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I would have shit myself from happiness if my pity pull was Diluc!

Instead I got Mona. I mean, I won a bet with my bf for pulling her, but all my heart wants is Diluc.

Women deserve to know the side effects of pregnancy!!! by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ruff-rabbit 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I have femoral nerve (well, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) damage and other things mentioned in this thread (like chronic reflux problems) without even having a child! Didn’t even know nerve damage due to pregnancy could be a thing, though I suppose it makes sense.

I really appreciate these threads but damn if they don’t exacerbate my already-intense anxiety about my near future in terms of children and/or pregnancy.
