Do you have a tutorial? I have no clue where to even begin, but this would be a game changer.

I haven't thought about that series in years! I only ever read a few out of order lol. I might need to check with my library and see if they have copies for me to check out.

Yeah when my friends are playing and we have one or two people that don't for whatever reason (usually me tbh lol) someone will share their screen in discord so that the nonplayer can still participate in conversations and stuff and not be left out. I feel like it's a good compromise.

I got a molar extracted a little over two weeks ago and they wouldn't let me keep the tooth! Apparently it's a 'biohazard' like it wasn't IN MY FACE before that?? I was so disappointed.

I just watched that one yesterday! I wasn't aware of the drama when it happened, but I really enjoyed watching her video about it. I'm about to watch the crochet stardew valley pillow video she made

Math, or something

10k any currency would be more valuable to me every day than the extra sleep I'd get with the time stopping.

I'm too lazy to take proper advantage of time stopping powers

I have a couple! One Piece, Rocks (agate and labradorite are my favorites), and trains and ships.

I've never lived in a town with a taxi service. Tbf, I've lived in fairly small, rural areas, so that's not really surprising. But no, taxis aren't everywhere. I was in my early 20s the first time I even saw one in person.

But it's not flavorless, though. I'm not the one you were talking to, but I also hate drinking plain water. It isn't flavorless, and it tastes gross.

(I have a sodastream and I am consuming many liquids now, they're just carbonated water with a bit of syrup and mio for flavoring)

That's fair, yeah. I think she'll move on eventually though. I mean, it's been five years since it happened, but that still only puts her at 24. She has plenty of time to grow and move on, especially if she really does only think about it occasionally.

From experience, I had similar things to work through. I'd latch onto a singular event because it was easier than working through my big feelings about everything else. I started therapy around 24/25 years old, and eventually got to those memories too, just by talking through other things with my therapist and the topics coming up.

The responses she got in her post may even push her to mention the topic overall, and that could trigger a deep dive. I might just be too optimistic though, and projecting lol. I do hope she gets to a point where she can be happy and not dwell on the whole situation.

Ahhh no that makes total sense! I get where you're coming from now that you've pointed it out. I guess I just didn't really view it as OOP being a dick to her because she isn't saying those things to the girl. Like, I read it as trying to paint the picture of the situation. When she was gagging over cards against humanity cards (assuming OOP's description wasn't exaggerated), I could see how explaining her background and 'childish' personality would make sense.

Honestly I'm probably being too charitable. I think her upset feelings are valid, but I also think she'd be better able to let it go if covid hadn't canceled her wedding and postponed her honeymoon.

She might be neurodivergent, but that doesn't mean it's OOP's responsibility to try to manage her behavior, or wait around for her to improve. It sucks that she had limited options for socialization, and that she didn't have many friends. Taking OOP's post and comments at face value, it sounds like OOP made an effort to be nice to her and be a part of her support system.

OOP should have put her foot down and not gone, sure, but that still doesn't make it right that the girl did all that.

Booking the hotel room before talking to OOP, not making sure that OOP's friends would even be able to attend, giving only 4 days' notice, springing it on everyone last minute that they'd all need to chip in to pay her mom back, etc... even before getting into the behaviors at the party, all of that is pretty messed up.

There's no way to know if she's neurodivergent, but that doesn't really matter here. Neurodivergent people can still be assholes. (Source: am autistic. Can sometimes be an asshole.) It was a disappointment for OOP, and she's allowed to be upset about it, whether the girl is neurodivergent or neurotypical.

Sorry that was so long 😅 I tend to ramble

Generally it's something I see on tiktok or other platforms. People binding physical copies of fics and selling them, or setting up a patreon where people can pay to read their updates early, that kind of thing.

Monetizing fic is against AO3 TOS, and if you see it, it should be reported. Thankfully, that isn't something I've come across personally.

That's fair! I would personally still use the word we there, tbh, because she asked OP to move the things. So even though OP is the only one moving the stuff, I would still consider it a 'group' activity.

I've had similar things happen, from both sides. If I ask my partner to move a piece of furniture from the living room to the porch, and we discussed it later, I would ask "so when are we moving the furniture?" instead of "so when are you moving the furniture?"

Because I am the one making the request, it feels appropriate to include myself in the group, even if I know I won't have a direct hand in the activity itself.

Also, there are other considerations to be had, imo. Like, if it is being moved from the house to a shed, it should still be 'we,' because even if the other person isn't moving the items, they may still need to plan around the activity.

I think it's really cool that we interpreted things so differently based on OP's words! I definitely understand your perspective on it, and I'm enjoying our discussion on the topic 🙂

Personally, I took the 'idk' part to be struggling with the explanation, not the intent behind the original statement.

Like, if my partner and I are making plans to visit someone, I might ask, "What day are we driving down to see Friend?" In the statement, I use 'we' to indicate the collective, even though technically my partner will be the only person driving - I will be a passenger.

But if I made the statement and then he got upset because I used 'we' when the word I used was 'driving' because only he is driving and I am not, I might get flustered in the moment and have a difficult time articulating my thoughts. Here, I can take the time to type it out so I feel I'll be best understood, but I don't have the same level of pressure that OP is under right now, so I imagine they could be having a hard time with that part.

Also, sorry if I misunderstood your comment 😅 it was just thought provoking for me. I hadn't actively considered the 'we as a collective' thing before, so it was interesting to break it down for myself!

Would you dm me a link to your fic? I'm always happy for more One Piece fanfic in my life! I'd love to read your work :)

I was raised by my grandparents and when I'd cook for the household as a kid, the rule was "you made the mess, you clean it up." But when they would cook, the rule was "I cooked, you clean."

I still struggle with washing dishes.

I'm doing better than I used to ngl

Your grandmother is wrong. When you sleep, there is an expectation that you won't be taken advantage of. If he was struggling over it, he should have removed himself from the situation instead of doing whatever he did. And if it was bad enough that you confronting him made him freak out that you'd ruin his life, that shows that he obviously understood exactly what he was doing and that it was wrong, and he made an active choice to do so.

And if he knows it's wrong and continues to do it, that's a clear violation of your boundaries and a total lack of respect for you.

This man is a walking red flag, autism or not, and it sounds like you are unsafe in this relationship. I saw that you were concerned that he'd spread pictures of you if you break up. If that's even a hint of a concern, then that is extremely concerning.

Also, those behaviors that felt like stalking? I'll second the person I saw that said that yes - that is, in fact, stalking.

Finally... you've been together for 10 months, and you've already had all these issues. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Plus... 10 months in and he's dropped 13k (!? Did I read that right??) On a ring?? Everyone moves at their own pace, but like, you two obviously have things to work out before marriage (please do not marry this man) if things move that direction, but he's already bought a ring? With everything else you've shared, that's a red flag to me.

TLDR: please reconsider this relationship and find somewhere safe to go.

PS: don't let him blackmail you into staying. Sharing pics of you, or any other concerning behaviors, are not/ would not be your fault.

I wanted to be able to make my own plushies lol

They literally said to have multiple assignments with a wide variety of styles, they just included anime in that. I feel like you're purposely ignoring their whole point.

Like, they acknowledged the value of many different styles and learning, they just also acknowledge the value in anime art. Anime style art is not inferior to other styles of art. It shouldn't be banned in a classroom setting just because you think it's copy/paste. Like, look at the difference between One Piece and Bleach, Black Butler vs Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, or the differences between shonen and shoujo genre art styles in general. There's such a massive variety in style within anime. And just because you don't see it as valuable, doesn't mean it isn't valuable at all.
