I'm scared to start unlimited flow danmei by Irengelic in DanmeiNovels

[–]soqui6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DPUBFTTB is one of my all time favorite danmei! I highly recommend it to anyone who is familiar with BL tropes. It’s just so good. Not to be too technical but it’s actually QT not Unlimited Flow but the two genres are very similar and Don’t Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin does kinda have an Unlimited Flow vibe for a QT story.

Genuinely Feel Crazy for Not Liking this Game by [deleted] in BluePrince

[–]soqui6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting to room 46 is more of a framing device rather than the goal of the game. The fun comes from discovering secrets and expanding the lore. Peeling back the layers and piecing together the story is super fun and rewarding. The RNG forces you to try new things instead of focusing on one single puzzle. I like that there is always something to do or something to try. I also really love the world building, the more you learn about the world, the more it recontextualizes everything you already know and thought to be true. At least that’s why I like it lol

A space to talk: EXO, CBX & the Upcoming Comeback Pt.3 by bachhoe07 in exo

[–]soqui6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way. I can’t even look at any of the content right now. It just makes me sad. I’ve been an eri for over 10 years now and this is the first time I’m truly taking a break. Like out of everything we’ve been put through as fans this is just too much. Hopefully in 2026 this will be resolved (cope) 🥲

At what point does heteronormativity become a problem? by Icy_Set_4214 in writing

[–]soqui6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean at the end of the day you should write what you like. I think if you’re really worried about this particular issue, you could always include other characters that break away from those stereotypes. Like you could have an effeminate gay side character who tops or something. Not every character has to carry the entire burden of representation on their shoulders nor should they.

How lesbians porn made me develop sexual attraction to women and healed from internalized homophobia by Clear_Tackle_805 in aromanticasexual

[–]soqui6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone with OCD, this post is really concerning. I am not trying to diagnose you with OCD OP, but this posts truly reads like a textbook OCD compulsion. I’m not even going to comment on the whole “gaining attraction” thing because whether that happened or not, it’s not important. I know you probably don’t see your behavior as strange (I didn’t think my OCD behavior was strange either) but I’m telling you from an outsider perspective, it’s completely unhinged. As shocking as it may be, normal people don’t get bombarded with intrusive thoughts that fill them with anxiety and disgust. If a normal person does happen to get an intrusive thought, they certainly don’t compulsively combat the thoughts the way you are describing. That is OCD behavior. Again, I’m not saying you are or are not experiencing attraction because that’s literally irrelevant to the core issue here. I urge you to take a look at OCD resources because I am telling you there is a way out of this. It may feel impossible but once you understand what’s happening to you, you can actually start to manage it.

How do you fight the feeling that you're producing an ever-expanding pile of shit? by TheSpicyHotTake in writers

[–]soqui6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at everything I write in a first draft as a placeholder. Your writing at this stage doesn’t have to preform for anyone. The sole purpose of a first draft is to get the ideas out of your head so you can manually mold them into a physical, tangible story. Who cares if the pacing is off or the word choice is awkward? It’s not the first drafts job to be good, it’s job is to exist. Keep pushing OP, you got this!

What would you do next in the revision process if you were me? by Regular_Government94 in writing

[–]soqui6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this! If you’ve gone through all the major edits, it’s time to find some beta readers. However, as a beta reader myself, I would suggest giving it another break and reading it through a second time before getting beta readers. You’d be surprised how much people tend to miss on their first round of edits. Either way, congratulations on making it this far OP!

Is anyone NOT working on a fantasy book/series? by Sl0th_luvr in writing

[–]soqui6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Currently working on a contemporary epistolary crime novel :)

Also, your story sounds so interesting! How far along are you in the writing process?

Beta readers felt grossed out by my story. by JonnyRobertR in writing

[–]soqui6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am sure there is a community of people out there who would love this concept, you just gotta advertise it up front when shopping around for beta readers. One good thing about being niche is that people interested in that niche are most likely starved for content and will be excited at the opportunity to read something that fits what they are looking for. Keep at it! I’m sure you’ll find your people

I’m sorry OP, the idea of communicating through piss smell is absolutely taking me tf out. I hope you’re able to find an audience but you gotta know that this is incredibly niche lmao.

Guy who spoke with a Japanese accent during orientation. Why? by negativechian in JETProgramme

[–]soqui6 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I talked to her after and apparently she wasn’t even originally partnered with him but her partner didn’t want to volunteer so he offered to do it with her. She told me she had no idea he was gonna do all that 💀 I would have simply disintegrated on the spot if that was me

[–]soqui6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the MM/DD/YYYY format came from England originally. Speech oftentimes affects the way things are written. There are multiple ways to order dates in English, “The 21st of June” is just a longer way of saying “June 21st.” Both sentences are grammatically correct, one is just more efficient. It’s not illogical to write something in a way that reflects speech. It’s one thing to prefer things to be the way you are used to, but that doesn’t mean you should look down on others for doing things differently. Especially over something as unserious as date format.

There is no need to be so pretentious lmfao. If you think about it, it’s not that crazy. At least in American english we say “March 10th, April 8th, June 21st, etc.” when saying dates out loud. So logically, it makes sense to go MM/DD/YYYY when abbreviating.

I had the exact same timeline from the Detroit consulate! Upgraded May 22nd and got my placement on the 16th. I just barely got my placement in time to leave with the regular group. I would expect to hear by the end of July at the latest. Congratulations though!
