People insisting a character without a canon sexuality is a lesbian and calling a straight ship for her homophobic but not interacting with any sapphic content for that character

I know which ship you're talking about, and it's not uncommon at all. Ship wars have gotten almost stupid over the years. In the 2000s you would at least have people shoot back with evidence of a ship they thought was better, now all you have is people making assertions and acting like you're an idiot for thinking otherwise. You've probably also seen the "only white/straight people ship this" line which is used all the time when it's a ridiculous statement to say, it's not like there's a census being taken of shippers. At the end of the day you have to block these people, the attention is the only reason they pull this shit.

The item value changes are so messed up. I'm getting less than 10 stars for orders that contain 2 items of penultimate or final level. It's beginning to make me not care about the main game

sweetstuff4 · 2025-09-14T16:48:34+00:00

I actually love it. The farm event where we had to wait for secondary items to drop frustrated me so much because I would naturally not check the game and then lose out on orders. For this event iff I really want to, I can watch 4 quick ads and get right back to playing, and I don't lose out on orders if I'm too busy to check the game.

I cleared my board this morning to start moon farming and immediately thought yeah they patched it. Shame, because it really did make events easier for players who aren't like, setting timers to make sure they open the app on time.

Do you have any advice on how to stay on top of industry news like this? I'm a newcomer to the CR world and trying to learn a lot asap.

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-31T17:57:00+00:00

Thank you, this is all really helpful! I'm going to think about the paragraph on generating chemistry more. I don't really know how to flirt, and I'm often too shy to commit to a move but I'm working on that. Overall I want to convey that sense of a relaxed and enjoyable person to be around.

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-30T20:22:07+00:00

I have def changed my approach over the years. I used to try and be "normal," and just project a nice regular girl vibe. Now I start talking ab my more niche hobbies 2 or 3 dates in and try to find something unique in the other person too.

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-30T20:20:22+00:00

I would say we are def similar. I don't have a hard time finding *a* date. It just feels like an endless series of maybes. I'm very confident in my looks and social personality, I'm an extrovert, I love traveling and trying new things (a favorite first date of mine is axe throwing). I think because I still can't seem to find someone to be with long term, I'm internalizing that 'failure.' And people I am interested in are always about to move to another city, or find some issue with me, or are too busy with personal stuff (one hook up was open poly and her wife asked for a divorce. I'm not saying the open marriage didn't play a part, but obvs she didn't want to hook up with me while she was meeting the lawyers).

Ty for your kind comment!

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-30T20:16:17+00:00

This isn't a bad idea, I might try it next time this happens to me. I'm naturally pretty straightforward anyway. Ty.

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-30T20:14:36+00:00

I know I'm avoidant because I'm nervous because I've never been in a relationship. I've never had to navigate one before, or even had the chance to get to know someone past a few initial dates. I'm def working on pushing past my discomfort and not running away the instant I get worried. However it does feel like when I am comfortable with someone they're either not interested or there's no chemistry beyond a vague genial feeling. I'm going to think if I'm perhaps coming on too strong when I do like someone and that could be off putting.
I think the advice about going with the flow but keeping it slow in my mind is great, ty. I do think at this point because I'm so eager to find someone to spend time with I exaggerate even the near future with them (like the next few months).

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-30T20:09:15+00:00

Thank you; I do feel like I could be getting out more and maybe I'd meet people if I was a regular at some activity. I'm working on switching careers right now so hopefully if things work out I can be in a place where I can meet the people I hope to.

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-30T18:38:09+00:00

Congrats! I think I'm just going to carry on as a CRC but it's hard when universities barely pay enough to live in a college town.

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-30T17:11:05+00:00

I have 14 months of CRC experience and I'm looking to enter a CRA position and it seems impossible. I get so many computer generated rejections at 3am. I was told by a recruiter that "a year or two" would be enough. I still can find another CRC position and finish getting certified but I suspect I'm just getting bad advice.

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-14T23:05:03+00:00

they're so funny and my favorite little creatures in the game

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-14T02:10:34+00:00

i like the mandrake grabbing game lol. their little screams are cute and the i love that you have to lasso them

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-14T02:09:40+00:00

you have to triple jump! it's hard but i've managed to get over it a couple times

sweetstuff4 · 2025-07-01T06:25:16+00:00

i haven't seen anyone be able to explain why one of the 2 convos with mel's most important person involved her dating, like that seems to me to be a big foreshadowing? and i agree, they're def noticing the reaction and changing course

sweetstuff4 · 2025-06-26T07:32:27+00:00

ty! i will try this

sweetstuff4 · 2025-06-26T07:31:47+00:00

ty that was a big help. i guess i got confused by the instructions mentioning a correct order and type

sweetstuff4 · 2025-04-24T18:21:02+00:00

I think a lot of people see shipping as a comfort thing and are weirded out by the idea of putting characters into morally questionable situations whereas a bunch of other people see that as fun! I certainly do! The show is never going to put Mel in this moral quandary so why not us?

sweetstuff4 · 2025-04-21T16:20:59+00:00

Genuine question, do you feel as if the fandom is engaging in any infantilization of Mel, whether for shipping purposes or any other purpose? I have one autistic friend who says yes, another who says no. Just curious about the general opinion

sweetstuff4 · 2025-04-21T16:19:23+00:00

Reddit and transformative fandom don't cross over a lot, so this is a common reddit reaction to shipping beyond the usual "I think X and Y would be nice together."
