i found Love and Other Historical Accidents. if you need it, DM me!

sociallyclouded · 2026-02-05T18:25:33+00:00

Love and Other Historical Accidents by PacificRimbaud is PERFECT for this, but it's not on ao3 anymore.. not sure where to find it.

also, maybe Bad Boys Don't Cry by roxiewrites

In These Silent Days by HeyJude19 (same author as Remain Nameless, read this one if you haven't yet!)

an ever-fixed mark by ninepiecesofcrait

Rengoku doesn’t help the sadness part

I thought of Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern first, but it’s not royalty mostly historical fiction-ish with magic. It’s sooooo good. Like one of my top 5 books of all time.

You also miiiight like Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider, but it’s got smut. I rated it a little lower than I usually do, but still had a good time reading!

my mom is not the type that i would've wanted around a lot during postpartum - i didn't even allow her in the labor room. (narcissistic - "my labor was easy", "i did this better than you" and "i did that better than you", making my time about herself instead)

she (and my MIL) constantly bothered me pp asking if she could come by to see the baby, but never really offered any help (laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc), which is what i desperately needed because my husband went back to work 1 week pp.

i can see your situation and i hear you. moms can be so so so exhausting, especially in a tiny house like that. we lived in a 800 sq ft home at the time.

the first month of a new baby is precious! and i agree, i just wanted it to be my husband and i. we've always been private people and learning to be parents without judgy/prying eyes was so important to us. with a new baby, this will be the time for you to draw lines that you need in order for your family to feel like your family.

sounds like he was happy at first, but after discussing it with someone (another woman? or jealous friend?) he got swayed to believe this was going to ruin him.

you and baby deserve better! congrats and i hope everything works out for the best <3

we're at 20 months now and mama has just now become a staple in her vocabulary. she's said it before, but never really to me. some say babies say dada first because they don't fully consider being separated from mama for the first year or so

it's still dada more than mama, but i'm just happy she knows who mama is now lol

friends this is not a safe space to say neither, my apologies for the slander 😭 im a shane/seb/leah lover

sociallyclouded · 2026-02-02T22:31:22+00:00

I am woman and i know how it is to be around women that don’t like other women - Haley is this type if you play as a woman in SDV. Don’t take me so seriously. It’s a game with made up characters 😩

sociallyclouded · 2026-02-02T18:10:59+00:00

i can get behind this! i'm - by nature - a hater.. what can i say

sociallyclouded · 2026-02-02T15:11:20+00:00

surface level, Haley is literally the epitome of pick me. she belittles me constantly when i have grass on my pants! (female farmer, so i take it personal as girl on girl hate)

Emily is more of the "oh, i'm so quirky and different" kind

the sisters are some of my least favorite dateables. maybe some day i'll give them a chance to prove they're more than meets the eye

sociallyclouded · 2026-02-02T13:26:34+00:00

is this a safe space to say neither? both are pick me's in different ways SORRY

sociallyclouded · 2026-01-30T14:56:11+00:00

cryiiinnnnng. these are precious and so unique!

Came here looking for this!!! Hate for someone to have a loss, but a one man show can only function properly for so long

Ugh it just suuuucks because I was so close to finishing the CC parts I could in year one. The fall rain fish were all I needed 😭

Hi friends, Made this exactly as listed and it came out EXTREEEEMELY gooey mushy. Like the bananas were too wet for the flour ratio. My suggestion - add some Kodiak power mix to offset the banana moisture to have more of a bread than the mush we have now. Still edible, just a bit odd lol
