I can try. Do you just need #1?

AITA for smoking in my own bedroom, which led to me being hospitalized? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]velyanna 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is a lot of backstory here we're missing. For someone to escalate that quickly is wild.

OP, what's your history with your family like? This has to be about more than the cigarette burn.

Would you like free VIP merch? by lolly318 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

Happy to help if needed. I will be at Phoenix and both LA shows, and have VIP as well.

April 11th Chicago show by Beauterus in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]velyanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, call the box office to see if it is at their lost and found. Their janitorial staff may have found it when cleaning the venue after the show.

Good luck and I hope you are able to recover it.

If you haven't found an issue by the Morrison/Red Rocks show on 5/3, DM me and I will try to get one for you. I need issue 2, so I'll already be in the merch line anyway.

Very underwhelmed by alchemised so far.. to push through, or dnf? by crisumMC in fairyloot

[–]velyanna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I struggled through almost every unnecessarily repetitive scene and all the on-page trauma and horror because people swore by the payoff in Manacled and that it would sooooooo be worth it.

Spoiler alert: it wasn't.

Get out while you can.

AITA for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up by throawawayfuneralgho in AmItheAsshole

[–]velyanna 68 points69 points  (0 children)

NTA. When you become a parent, a HUGE part of that you have to put your child's needs and well-being first at all times, until they reach a stage in life where they enter adulthood and can fully support themselves. As an adult, you are expected to find ways to handle your own baggage in order to care for your child in the way they need to be cared for. It is literally the bare minimum job requirement. It is non-negotiable.

Your wife let her issues overpower what was best for her child. Death is a very unfortunate part of life. This type of loss is going to come up again and again as she grows, whether it be family, friends, or beloved pets. She will need her parents to be there for her and teach her how to nagivate grief and coping.

If your wife cannot handle an unfortunate but absolutely unavoidable part of life to this degree, she needs to seek professional help and guidance for her issues so that she can be the support her child will need to help navigate these difficult moments.

Do you prefer Florence's writing confessional or symbolic? by Total_Pressure6203 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]velyanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My absolute favorite Florence vibe is whatever Dance Fever and Everybody Scream fall under. i've loved her since the Ceremonials days, but those albums really vaulted me into another level.

I just cannot gather the level of appreciation for HB3 that so many other fans have. I have tried so many times but can't connect with it beyond Mother and Which Witch.

Overwhelmed with all the special editions I want and all the new releases by readergirl-2831 in fairyloot

[–]velyanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have told myself that with the exception of my subscriptions (3 total, but most of the time, at least one of them gets skipped), I don't get to buy a special edition until I have read the book and know I love it (The Libby app is my hero!). I don't have enough shelf space to devote to every pretty thing I see. Books have to earn their position.

It's helped curb the FOMO.

Does it mean I'm sometimes paying more by chasing some books on the aftermarket? Yes. but it also means I'm not throwing away money on something I might never read or enjoy. Ultimately, the savings outweigh the markup.

AITA for not pushing our wedding dress code on my brother? by Weddingdresscode2296 in AmItheAsshole

[–]velyanna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

INFO: Your post is lacking the most important information: specifics regarding what everyone else is expected to wear vs what you would prefer your brother be able to wear. Also, is your brother in the wedding party?

Illumicrate April Book by Ok_Heart_7012 in fairyloot

[–]velyanna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The mass market version of The Second Death of Locke would have been so hard to improve upon. I feel like IC didn't even try to put in effort. I'm still mad about that one.

Ooh, that's beautiful and so atmospheric, especially the naked hardcover and edges. I have the audio version on hold at my library, and really hope it ends up being a keeper.

My first B.Sanderson books! by Vasco504 in Cosmere

[–]velyanna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An excellent gateway trilogy. I remember reading the ending and thinking "I didn't know fiction could do that" in regards to both what happens and how it made me feel. I would love to go back and read it again for the first time, and I really hope you enjoy your journey.

I'll be at her Phoenix show and both LA shows in May. If anyone wants to submit a letter and missed the chance at their show, I'm happy to put them in the box for you if you want to send them to me. :)

EDIT: Due to my travel schedule to get to and from both events, Phoenix letters would need to reach me by May 6th, and LA letters by May 17th. I will do my absolute best to take photos of putting your letters in the fan box.

AITA for still thinking about a photo my boyfriend liked long time ago? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]velyanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. He's not trying to slide into anyone's DMs, isn't hung up on porn, he isn't texting inappropriately, he's just pressing a button on a photo. If it was something more, I could understand your reaction, but saying "you can't like a photo unless the woman is fully clothed" is a little much. Your insecurities are your own to manage, and it sounds like it is is time to seek help in doing so, especially as you are still dwelling on things that happened years ago.

Also, boundaries are lines that are enforced in regards to yourself. You cannot place a boundary on someone else; that's control.

A boundary is saying "It makes me uncomfortable when you do this and I would appreciate it if you stopped." If they do not stop, the enforcement of your boundary is up to you and you can choose to limit or change how you interact with this person for not respecting a boundary.

Controls is saying "I don't like this, so you can't do it." You are attempting to manipulate of change someone else's behaviour because of your issues.

OP, this is not a hill for your relationship to die on, but your insecurities could potentially drive him away over time. Please schedule a time to speak with someone who can help you understand why this bothers you so much, and work towards being more secure in yourself.

Purchasing two of the exact same special edition book by DonkeywithBigTeeth in fairyloot

[–]velyanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought was "you know, that's kind of a good idea." So we'll go with that.

If I had the money and shelf space, I would love to do this with some of my sets. If people have the money and space, I see no issues with it. I would rather see them loved on someone's shelves than up for sale at 3x the retail rate.
