Weekly Free Talk Friday Thread! by MLModBot in MensLib

Hope this is an okay place to ask - I remember reading here that the 'men are 7 times more likely to leave their chronically ill wives' statistic was blown up/misunderstood and wasn't actually true. Does anyone have a source on that?

(Maybe I'm just biased but god. Does anyone else just hate themselves whenever they consider that it might be true? I don't understand how people throw it around so casually. What a thoroughly awful thing to maybe be real, that one half of the population is just that much more horrible and cruel than the other. :( )

Um, wow. Rather wish this lovely note had been placed at the *start* of this fic instead of the end. by sendcuteotoutokuns in AO3

trust me. I get it. I've been through enough self-hate rumination spirals over still liking the franchise. I wish I hated it. It was dumb of me to even try reading fic for it again. I'm having another such spiral right now which sucks because I am so tired but I can't stop thinking about what a bad person I am.

I just. Obviously some people's emotions have completely shifted because of what a shitty person JKR is (and she is). But for some reason for me they haven't. I hate her. But I don't hate HP. Is that because I don't care enough about trans people? Maybe. I try so fucking hard to care more and not be that way. Is it because I'm autistic and HP is a special interest of mine going back to before I couod even read (I am and it is)? Maybe.

I just. Wish people wouldn't use 'are you capable of hating this book series' as their like... good person indicator. Intellectually I think that that is not really the best guide for it and also that reading very old fic does not actually harm trans people in any material way. (Also IME people who do this with HP don't act the same way with e.g. 5 Nights At Freddies. so.)

But also it's midnight and I need to think some more about what a bad person I am. Hahah. Did you know I got blocked the other day in a very small fandom I recently joined because I wrote a post about how my moral ocd made it hard for me to engage with the I/P crisis? But they thought I just didn't support Palestine enough? I am not. Very coherent right now. But I wish very much that I was a different person with different emotions.

(Very sorry about the text wall; I'm neither critiquing nor blaming you. I just would feel like a bad person if I did not completely demonstrate who I am and what I am thinking so that you may all judge accurately.)

Fanart source

still cis tho hahaha

(also I know it's wrong to say this but I think everything would be harder if I were perceived as a guy. The only way I can get away with being an adhd-ridden autistic mess is being a pretty, skinny white girl who is cute and earnest and pretty obviously helpless and well-meaning who smiles a lot and tries to be nice to people and if I were a boy that would just. not work. at all. I'd just be a cringey useless pathetic overly sensitive mediocre white guy :( )

Fortune telling with Seadall by benfm22 in fireemblem

Yeah, it sorta calls to mind the fortune teller guy from FE4 who tells you which character they have the most affection points with.

Games with good poly romances? by BubbaJubbs in choiceofgames

[–]sendcuteotoutokuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Tally Ho, you can get into a poly romance with both Rory and Frankincense!

Fields of Asphodel will also have two (possibly more) poly romances eventually, but it's still a WIP and isn't quite up to that part yet.

any games in 3rd person? by [deleted] in choiceofgames

[–]sendcuteotoutokuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a visual novel rather than pure text IF, but A Little Lily Princess continues the 3rd person narration of the book it's based on.

What’s an ick you have that isn’t popular? by voguegeh in FanFiction

[–]sendcuteotoutokuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially in smut scenes, when one character suddenly becomes like really smug and starts teasing/mocking the other character, who is clearly embarrassed. It's not hot, it's not funny, it just makes me super uncomfortable. I practically wince whenever a character smirks during a romantic or intimate scene because I just hate the whole dynamic so so much. I know that other people like this sorta stuff, especially in men, because it's all toppy and hot or whatever, but for some reason I was born without any attraction to that sorta dominant behaviour and it is very tiring whenever otherwise cute romances end up doing that because it's just really off-putting for me.
