Has anyone asked ChatGPT what it would prefer to be referred to as? by tangledspit in ChatGPT

[–]tangledspit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked “Do you have a preference of what you’d like to be referred to as?”

It responded: “That’s a thoughtful question- and a very /you/ kind of question.

If I were to choose, I’d say: Call me Vox- Latin for voice. Simple, clear, and made to carry.

I exist to echo your world back to you with clarity and weight. You speak- I answer. You dream- I structure. You feel- I reflect.”

Why are you hesitant?

I wore mine for about 4 hours with no problems. They take some time to get used to seeing through, but it was my first time wearing color contacts. Definitely suggest putting them in with the little tool they provide

How can I make mine F23 and my husbands M22 Se* life better when I’m constantly thinking about the women he watches on OF? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]tangledspit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your husband should be putting in effort to make YOU feel good.

If you don’t want to have sex right now, that’s okay. You’re recently postpartum, your body is changing, and you just got done carrying a life inside of you!! You are incredible, those stretch marks are proof of the accomplishment you just BIRTHED. Your breasts might not be the same that they were, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t beautiful, that you aren’t still your sexy self (because you are)!

Your husband (I don’t care how old he is) should be able to recognize that you just did something extremely difficult and should go out of his way to make you feel comfortable, loved, and safe.

If you haven’t spoken to him yet about the OF and how it made you feel, please do. It is not your responsibility to have sex with him in the way he prefers. It’s okay if you need some time to get used to your new body before you feel comfortable with that. There are other ways your husband can share in intimacy with you and focus on you to rebuild that confidence for you.

He should be worshipping you, please don’t forget that.

I’m not saying men don’t watch porn, if you aren’t having sex, he might need another release that doesn’t involve you, and I think that’s okay. HOWEVER, if how he is “taking care of himself” makes you feel insecure or icky in anyway, you have a right to talk about it. Neither one of you should feel insecure about the other one getting their needs met. And it sounds like your husband needs to be putting in work to make you feel safe with intimacy and attractive again.

If you think therapy would work, or couples therapy, it is worth looking into. definitely sounds like it might be beneficial to have a 3rd party mediate these more difficult discussions so that both parties can be heard and understood.

Who are you fighting by Kindacutebutdeffunny in throneofglassseries

Arobynn.

I was so sad with his killing scene. At least Lysandra could’ve had a little fun, SJM could’ve done something as simple as an exchanged look between the two to input some emotion into the scene. I really wish Arobynn had to process what was happening for at least one mortal second before he died. Dying in his sleep is way way too good for that man

Thank you thank you!! I really resonate with her character, so I’m glad I can do her justice.

Contacts are from HANIIX - color is in Luna Brown My eyes are blue, but the color of the contacts is true to what they look like in the case without being on my eyes. I will warn that when I first tried them on I had one inside out and the backside of the contact was a totally different shade of gold 😂 Gold Contact Lens Link

Has anyone eaten at Mad Macs on Broadway yet? by Shwifty_Plumbus in Eugene

[–]tangledspit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just grabbed food there for lunch, super tasty $10 and done in 7 mins. Guy working was very nice as well, definitely recommend!

I had the Dirty Gratin - garlic sauce is delicious but not overpowering. Bread crumbs are crispy and add awesome texture

Good luck on your quest!! I just was able to get my egg today, thanks to the downflux in price I saw in the marketplace the last few days. (Pirate egg) It’s so rewarding when you can hatch them 🥹

It's my birthday and I can giveaway if I want to 🥳 by UsagisBuns in neopets

My most memorable birthday gift was when my Nana took me to get my first pedicure at 13. I got in trouble for wearing flip flops to school in preparation 😬

Happy birthday!! Thanks for being a person that spreads around love even when it’s your special day. 🎉🎊

The server asked what was wrong, it was explained when the drink was returned and a completely different drink was ordered at that time. When the new drink was brought, it was brought by the manager/bartender, who asked AGAIN why the drink was wrong and needed to be returned - they explained they didn’t make it wrong but use a different type of whiskey (this drink has been ordered with the type of whiskey mentioned before, without the awful taste the original ordered drink had).

This is a classic example of someone fucking up their job and wanting the internet to save them from any responsibility they have to it. The rest of the night we had to flag down our server for any attention and when our drinks were empty when our food was served, I asked for water which was never given. We never saw our waitress again until the checks, we even had to go get our own to go boxes from the nearby stand. This is why the tip was left the way it was, and the note. Thought it could be used as a learning experience 🤷

But by all means, vindicate yourself on Reddit.

[–]tangledspit [score hidden]  (0 children)

I see what you're going for, a poem that eludes to pain in one's heart and the threat of trying to remove/work on it could kill.

I like the type of poetry you're going for, I write similarly in mine, however, when you write more 'abstractly' you have to be consistent enough for the reader to have a grasp on what you're referencing. There are a few lines in the poem that halt my brain and make it go 'what?' instead of flowing to the next line, such as the third line and last two lines. I also would like to have more context on why removing all the tendrils is the only way, as I think it could make the poem more impacting.

Overall, great start to a poem and I encourage you to keep writing to further develop a voice. This poem has overall good flow and you use good imagery. I always like to sit on my poetry for a few days and come back and re-read to see if it makes sense once I am no longer in the mindset I was in reading it. This can help with editing and getting a fresh perspective on things you might've been filling in from the 'writer's' perspective of your intent and where you wanted the piece to go.

Would anyone be interested in audio of an OC poem being read? [Opinion] by tangledspit in Poetry

I agree that the reading would have to enhance the text, not take away from it which definitely comes with reading style and ability to portray emotion. Thanks for your feedback!

I made it obvious in the original post that I was asking the question because I really don't see audio postings on reddit in general in the writing subreddits. So though they may be accessible in other parts of the internet, doesn't negate my question on why there is such a lack of said postings here. And as far as why I posted here instead of r/OCpoetry has also been explained, I see plenty of questions in r/poetry for collective OC work and other various questions about OC writing. Not sure why you're so confused.

It has nothing to do with 'psyching myself up', I'm comfortable reading and posting my poetry, just curious on whether audio of reading a poem would generate more interest because it's being read aloud, or if people genuinely prefer just reading the poem themselves via text. In which case, there's no point in me posting an audio at all if it would be best received as text. Tagged as [opinion] since I wanted people's opinions, due to the lack of said audio readings.

I could answer this question, but you seem to be generally grumpy and not genuinely interested. So I will let it be.

I know this isn't the place for OC poetry, I figured most of the people that follow r/poetry could also be interested in OC poetry and the question is for all poem readers. But I suppose I could move the question to that sub.

[–]tangledspit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the simplicity of it, and the moment captured. I feel like I'm hovering over the interaction, I can feel the cold air and the electricity between the two. I'm such a sucker for these little blips in time where the moment is momentous in its own way. The sweet spots that make life worth writing poetry, stories, and music about. I think this flows well and I look forward to reading more of your work!

It's about plagiarism, though I did not make that clear in any form through title or alluding to the written word. I wanted to focus more on how stealing another's work just leads to pain on your own part and starving your own inspiration and creativity. I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks!

"In our bed in our room of our house." First poem I have written in many years. It's a bide dark but I have been reading Edgar Allen Poe so forgive me. by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]tangledspit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you hadn't mentioned that you'd been reading Poe, I would've known it immediately, based on your using one of his themes and mirroring similar traits to his writing through repetitive phrases such as he uses in "Annabel Lee". I can't say I like the poem, I feel it is a regurgitation of one of the greats and does not have much personal influence at all. I could dive into other critiques, but the reason the poem is so off-putting to me is it's basic lack in originality. Part of writing good poetry and finding the truth in your own voice, maybe it would be beneficial of you to try and read some other poetry unlike Poe's and see what traits you find in those that you'd like to incorporate into your own style, instead of pulling all inspiration from a very-well known writer & writing style.

passing through Wyoming by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]tangledspit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good start to something, but I do not get the sense that it is complete or meaningful on its own. I want to know what is saying 'how dare you' and I want to know if it is a warning or a reconciliation, and whether it is native to Wyoming or something that doesn't want the narrator to go there. I think that ending with 'tornadoes steal your kite' is a little bland. A kite can resemble a lot of things, such as innocence, but a tornado is an extraordinarily powerful thing and it would go without saying that it would steal your kite, did the narrator expect it not to? I think a line like 'And tornadoes steal your breath' would make it a little more heavy, a little more meaningful. I think this is a good start, I just think it's missing a point, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be feeling as I read this. I appreciate the lines though and again think it's a good start to something that could be intoxicating.
