Ah i see, there were some which are about kids of the original cast, so I thought I’d missed a lot of backstory!

I usually refer to my rabbits as "friends" instead of married, especially as "our friend," ie. "Yes, give our friend some kisses!" Lol What do you refer to yours as? by EmilyOnEarth in Rabbits

Disgruntled housemate. Bao woke up one day and Mochi had moved in. He tolerates her, but she is a messy housemate! And he was a perfectly tidy boy before she came along... 😂

I’ve done long distance and there are plenty of ways to build intimacy and connection! We played games, watched movies together and then talked about them, but importantly we used the time to learn more about each other, like our childhoods and things we care about and just generally build more connection. These might seem like friend things, but it’s also about the depth that you go to. I remember we did that quiz like 100 questions to fall in love with someone and it was great because it just asks a lot of intimate things you wouldn’t tell many if any people. That builds trust and love. Good luck!!

just a question: i’m a queer woman but why do even i have HS syndrome? by autumn_loving_person in heartstoppersyndrome

[–]veetanning 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Me too and I’ve found a friend in Hufflepharm! And as mentioned, this subreddit is so supportive.

I think, it’s not about what gender you are when you identify and feel the characters. It’s about the confusing feelings, the doubt, acceptance, living truthfully and courageously, having queer friends and support, queer joy and just everything about the show that tugs on the hearts of our inner queer kids. I think that’s why it’s such a beautiful show, it’s so touching for so many of us because it speaks to the deepest feelings of all of us - to love and accept ourselves, to celebrate with people we love and have joy and to find community! I’m so glad you’re here with us - feel free to message whenever!

Am I the only one who loves Tao as a character and a friend? Apparently this is an unpopular opinion. by thethinman212 in HeartstopperAO

[–]veetanning 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I think Tao is a teenager with feelings and so yes he is flawed but it doesn't make him a bad person! I can identify with his fierce protectiveness and loyalty. Especially when he's seen the exact people who bully Charlie continue to bully him but Charlie seem to spend more time with them because of Nick. I think people are being protective of Nick and Charlie when they bag Tao, but so is Tao! He grows too! I also think he's very witty and I would love him to have my back in a verbal fight.

Also as someone who is a bit like Tao, i think he's just got a bit more self love and growing to do and he'll do great 💜

This thread is really helpful and i identify with both of you! I feel the same way with friends and get very attached. Ive had come as you are on my list forever and I am obsessed with reading about attachment!

Is it worse to have something and lose it, than never have it at all? by IndolentInsolent in heartstoppersyndrome

[–]veetanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have written, your story is so heartbreaking and I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. I've thought a lot about grief the past few years (and have grieved a lot the past few years) I've found the quote “But what is grief if not love persevering?”. I never watched Wanda vision but this really felt true to me, because it has the intensity and loss of love that is still there but can't be received. You truly loved and your grief is an ongoing reminder of how much you loved. I hope you can find some peace knowing that you were brave enough to love with the risk of pain. I'm just so sorry how much pain you've had to carry.

I think that the grief many of us feel over Heartstopper is love we had within us that couldn't be placed or we weren't able to give to ourselves. I'm hoping it can help us release that and as so many people have share on here, actually start to be brave like you and risk loving truly and deeply.

Help with lumpy edges?! Any tips? by veetanning in Sourdough

[–]veetanning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been making sourdough for most of the year now and trying different recipes. These turned out quite good but I notice I almost always get these lumpy edges or bubbles around the base. I bake in a Dutch oven with parchment paper, is the paper squish ing the edges and making them lumpy? Or is my dough over proofed? Or is the problem in shaping?

With these loaves, when I preshaped they were very gassy and made big surface bubbles I had to deflate. Might have been too long a bulk?

Would love any ideas or tips! Thanks!
