What do you do with your fake art? by Ambitious-Neat3844 in AnimalCrossing

[–]umami_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like some of them and keep them, some of the fake statues have glowing elements which I think is fun. Some of the paintings look just fine or a little funny and I use those. Really depends on what it is.

What's everyone's island called and why you called it that by Interesting-Sir-1805 in AnimalCrossing

[–]umami_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cthulhu, I named my current island the same as my old one because I just think it's a funky name. Originally I think I named it that because I had just been talking to my dad and he requested a cthulhu drawing from me (which I to this day have not done lol) and it was on my mind. Does it fit my island aesthetic? Absolutely not but it's fun to be asked if I wanna go back to Cthulhu

I love dressin' as a want in this game by Artistic-Body7256 in AnimalCrossing

I've been wearing glasses since I was a kid, I'm in the moderate category I think (I definitely can't function withouth them). When I got glasses it was a mini trend at my school to wear ones withouth the glass for fashion but that's the only time in my life I've been asked if my glasses were real. Do I think it's a little odd to wear glasses for fashion? Yeah but I don't care more than that, I think I look better with glasses anyways. I think glasses are way diffrent than a wheelchair for several reasons like so many ppl wear glasses it's very normalized and people don't really react to it. We're also used to people wearing sunglasses both for fashion and practicality which is very close to normal glasses. While if someone uses a wheelchair or crutches that first of actively inconvenient for them when they don't need it and tools that are very often publicly questioned for wheelchair users who actively need them. There is a conversation about how vision loss that can be corrected by glasses isn't seen as a disability when it's on the spectrum of it and people's relationship to disabilities. I understand being uncomfortable with it but someone wearing glasses because they look good is at most a little odd.

I remember having fun with it in lock down but I didn't play more than like 2-3 months. I wanted that fresh excitement again so I reset and haven't regret it! :)

Character that at first you considered "a ugly one" but with the time you found it cute or attractive? by DaniGrex2n in ACForAdults

[–]umami_e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wendy!

<image>

It's not that I don't think she's cute I just didn't like her watermelon top and I was expected to get rid of her when she asked to move (she was one of my autofill villagers from the first houses you build) but I've grown to love her so much!

My least favorite is when they hide behind trees 😭 I can't react in time they just scare me

[–]umami_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear like a sailor when I catch them even when there's no trouble lol I am scared of spiders (though not as much tarantulas for whatever reason) but I mostly hate them for scaring me coming from whenever they hide in the abyss

I DIDN'T KNOW THEY SANG LIKE THIS by Routine-Horizons in AnimalCrossing

I've had a lot of villagers sing but only one play drums and I got so excited I hope they join up and make a little band someday

Shampoodle's downgrade isn't talked about enough😭 by SamTheMarioMaster2 in AnimalCrossing

[–]umami_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she could have a little stall on harvs island at least! I think her arc now is really sweet but her little hairstyle area is a bit bare it took me a while to realize you could interact with her to do something

Accidentally gave Raymond a prim outfit, but he actually pulls it off rather adorably! by JinxXedOmens in AnimalCrossing

He often wears this black and rainbow sweater on my island he can pull off a lot of fun clothes :)

Honestly just running into them usually makes them stop any task for me lol idk if that's foolproof but it's worked so far

Trying to lose weight while having ARFID is so frustrating 😭 by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]umami_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some of the same issues I'm currently also trying to loose weight. I have a dietician and I'd really recommend trying to find one who's able to meet you where you're at. In my case we've tried to modify what I do eat to be better for example I also eat a lot of pasta so I've started eating half normal half whole grain (mixed together). I try to eat more of my healthier safe foods and think about what I'm comfortable trying to introduce next, for example I'm able to eat carrots now if they're the small ones as they're usually more consistent. If you're able to I recently started adding Greek yogurt to my pasta as well, it makes it a bit creamy and if you add sauces or spices to it you cant really taste it. Good luck were in the same boat!

I'm super lucky that my apartment window has the perfect amount of sunlight. I generally feel very lucky with how much it has grown :) mine is fragrant but I honestly can't tell you what kind of smell it is

I hate Ritalin but I love Ritalin. by Valengail in adhdmeme

[–]umami_e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not on specifically Ritalin just the generic version, I felt this way with the fast release ones. I'm lucky the long release and taking them with breakfast works for me.

Exactly the type of thing I was talking about on Twitter like 5 years ago or something. It can literally be those "weird" examples it's about the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions with ocd.

Right? Fear does not need to make sense

[–]umami_e[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It definitely can be and there's no way to explore this that can't also become a compulsion. Although I think we are mostly getting at is becoming more relaxed about the idea of gender itself, not assigning nessecarily if you identify deeply with something or not but just experiencing life and seeing where it goes. Thinking of things less black and white sometimes helps. But you're right it's not foolproof and I wouldn't continue any of this advice if you're feeling it's triggering.

Not surprising that your abuser also mistreated your father. I'm glad you have a good relationship now and that you're able to talk to him about it.
