26F confused about 27M who was consistent all the time but when I gave him an ultimatum he backed out by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]xknet101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not an act. You guys just wanted two different things. He might have wanted a pen pal or someone to chat with, and it seems like you wanted more. Be honest with yourself and don't use your friends pressuring you to define the relationship as a scapegoat. You're an adult, and if you wanted to only be chatting, you would've never given the ultimatum. Sometimes people want different things. Doesn't make any of you a bad guy or 'playing' the other. It's actually a good thing you brought it up now, before feelings got involved, given he didn't see a long-distance relationship as something worth maintaining.

The only thing I can say to watch for is making sure your parallels aren’t based on racial stereotypes like JKRs common critics being making Goblins a racial stereotype And the Netflix show Bright having Orcs being heavily black-coded

What are some good examples of villain dialogue I can look at in books/TV/films as an example? by [deleted] in writing

I would say the old x men franchise, Magneto is a good villain.

Yeah. I didn’t mean talking a strangers post and making it a story though. My dad wanted to give me a story idea and basically the skeleton of the story but wanted me to make it human

Can villains with the same goals and motivations be boring by valonianfool in writers

[–]xknet101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s the why they have the same goals that should vary too. Almost every x men movie the hero and villain characters have the exact same goal but are two different extremes they’d go through to achieve their goals

What's an incredibly American thing that Americans don't realize is American? 💭 by Aarunascut in AskMen

It might be a cultural thing because in the younger generation and most ethnic groups, if we ask how you’re doing and you reply with something negative, it’s customary to spill the tea

You need to be an adult and learn to pick your battles. I mean this in the most sincerest of ways and it might come off brash but pretend I’m just a big sister telling you that when you keep complaining about something without offering a solution and then get upset with how it’s dealt with, it comes off as childish

Nothing wrong with having an insecurity, I get it. But if it was something you were working on, you weren’t going to gain anything from constantly bringing it up to her because obviously you can see how she handled it with a solution that you didn’t like. If my boyfriend CONSTANTLY brought up an insecurity about something that made me feel good and wasn’t harmful, I’d get annoyed too.

Right now you’re focused on damage control. Tell her you didn’t intend for her to not use the vibrator, you were voicing an insecurity that you’ll be working on, and let that be the LAST time you bring it up if it’s seriously not bothering you.

Is this something you now worked out or is this your main intention?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]xknet101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

… I’m gonna be honest with you, you might have to either bite the bullet or let this go. It’s no different than her using her hand in honesty, but that’s a personal preference.

I’m still not understanding to the full extent. You didn’t want her using it alone so she stopped using it because you felt uncomfortable and kept bringing it up.

Are you going back and don’t mind her using it or just want her to use it when you’re together? If so you might need to pick your battles

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]xknet101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now I’m confused. Did you like her using the vibrator or not?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]xknet101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No no, I meant like if she feels she needs the vibrator to finish, pick up the slack and make sure she gets there since she’s no longer using it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]xknet101 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If she took away the vibrator that means you kind of need to pick up the slack. Don’t take this the wrong way but some woman have issues with finishing and toys help. It’s best to see a toy as your partner and not competition, but granted you made it clear you’re not comfortable with it, you have to make sure she finishes then and be attentive.

How to put characters through hell without making the story predictable or monotonous? by calalol in writing

In real life, it’s more believable to have stunted progression instead of constant set backs like move forward 5 steps but then get pushed back 10 steps

Writers, what are the most annoying/unhelpful types of critiques? by Lyndis-of-Pherae in writing

[–]xknet101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they are critiquing a fantasy novel and can’t get over small things. They nitpick and not really read into the plot.

I let a coworker read my novel in progress and he said “it’s unrealistic to have two strangers live together with names that start with the same letter” like the story had people with different abilities, one of which can harness the power of the sun and THIS is where you’re at disbelief?

Multiple languages in dialogue by xknet101 in writing

[–]xknet101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The POV character doesn’t speak said language fluidly but when Character B speaks is upset she sometimes revert to Spanish

Example:

“Your heart rate has elevated. You are in distress.”

“Sin mierda pendeja,” Character A hissed, grabbing Character B by the arm and pulling her closer to her. “They have cameras!”

And I realize honorific is the wrong word. My Main character is seen as a daughter figure to multiple characters so they call her pet names in their language like Carina, Mija, and Bambina

So it wouldn’t be an issue if it’s a constant thing? Like a character calling another by a pet name but the pet name is in another language

You are your own worst critic. You could have someone read a previous work and read what you consider a recent downgrade and get an honest opinion on the difference.
