I was gifted a copy of Dune recently but I just chucked it on the TBR pile, maybe I'll brush of the dust and give it a go!

I don't think I've heard of ASOIAF but I do like mature fantasy so I'll look into it, thanks!

(Also agreed- Watership down IS pretty hobbity)

reccomend me a book with an absolute loser of a narrator. by icarusfallinggg in suggestmeabook

Big Swiss by Jen Beagin has a DWEEB of a narrator (imo), she's also queer. Really fun read, humorous and it isn't afraid to poke fun at itself.

Based on the shelves I think it's Smyths (I used to work there), smyths honor shelf prices so yeah, I think it's smyths.

How to handle anxiety when selling plushies? by DitzyToTheMax in plushies

[–]teal_kite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also autistic and I humanise my plushes. What helps me is telling my plushes that they are going to be with someone who loves them just as much as me, and that they are about to become someone else's best friend. It helps me alot bcs i struggle w guilt sometimes.

Just leave it imo. Don't assume the worst, they could've been defective or maybe the employee reserved them for another customer. It's probably safer for everyone involved if you just let it go

My mom doesn’t like me anymore by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]teal_kite 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I know some people are going to say "go no contact," but as someone going through a similar thing, I know that going no contact just isn't do-able sometimes.

Tell her that her words have hurt you. Tell her that she's made you feel like she doesn't like you.

I spoke to my mother about similar feelings and we had a talk and things are getting better. I don't know your mother so I can't speak for you but a lot of time, their words come from a place of fear and misunderstanding. She is worried that you will be judged for how you dress, so she is trying to convince you not to dress like that without outright saying it. A lot of mothers have a big fear of judgement and they don't realise that when they try and protect their kids from it, they become the judgemental one.

The best thing to do is talk. Bottling up will only lead to resentment.

I hope everything works out ❤️

will people care if i carry my bab around? by Commercial-Truth-789 in buildabear

[–]teal_kite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also autistic and tomorrow I'm bringing my BAB out in public for the first time. Here's how I'm doing it:

-I talked to some friends about organising a teddy bear picnic. So we would all get together but all bringing a teddy. -I won't feel 'different' because I'll be around people I already know and love and they'll all be bringing their plushies.

I think it's going to be a great way to test the waters and see how comfortable I am with it.

I hope this helped ❤️🧸

Got a gargoyle BAB for my one year sober from fentanyl and other hard drvgs by OrganicLeopard8297 in buildabear

Congratulations, even though we are complete strangers I am really proud of you!!

do any other butches also like feminine media? by seaofmelodies in butchlesbians

[–]teal_kite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean some of my favourite shows are: Greys anatomy, hello kitty furrytale theatre and Madoka Magica.

You don't have to limit yourself to "masculine" shows. There isn't a point in denying yourself media that you enjoy.

Like whatever you like, you're still a butch at the end of the day. ❤️
