Brown girl halloween costume ideas

I have an adorable, lovely niece who is an older sister to a severely autistic and developmentally disabled little sister. Her parents also always had a rough marriage and have been divorced for a while now, where me and my parents had to take care of the little girls for a few years also. They now live with the grandparents and the dad, my brother. Needless to say, she is one of the most precious things in this world to me and her birthday is coming up.
She's now definitely showing signs of being in the teens and started to care about her looks, her clothes and everything. Just a year ago, she'd go around the town telling everyone grandma's got her her favorite stuff from a garage sale but it appears those days are now long gone.
But since I have 0 idea about girls clothing, I thought I'd come here to seek any advice on getting girls clothing. She's also growing insanely fast so she will most likely outgrow the stuff bought today extremely fast - so I would hate to go senseless. Any place that you recommend that makes sense for a girl this age, and starting to care about her clothes and where her friends opinions start to matter a lot?
My first thoughts were Ross / Kohls. Wondering if there are any better spots.
If we had friends with older kids, it would be very nice to try to get their outgrown clothes but unfortunately my family recently moved out here so the kids could be with their father, and don't really have a lot of close people here.

Ladies! Curious to hear everyone's first period experience. I was very shy and didn't tell anyone I got it until the second time! Shocking! Coming from a culture where things were sometimes taboo to speak about, I didn't feel like I had the big sister support I would have loved to have.
Now my little cousin got hers and I want to be that big sister and share stories with her to make her feel good. Are there any communities for teenage/young girls to turn too, I would love to share them with her.
My expectation: no pain and a normal red flow, reality: tummy pains and brown colour - how did we not know this was normal at the time!

This is my first post on Reddit so I apologize for any formatting errors.
I (22F) am in a 9 month long relationship with my current boyfriend (24M).
When I was 14, I became involved with an 18 year old boy at my highschool. We’ll call him W. I developed an obsession over him and receiving validation from him; he was a senior, and I was a freshman — getting attention from him made me feel special. He initially added me on Snapchat and would send me snaps me throughout the day, consistently, and would flirt with me subtly (compliments, always asking about my day and my interests, etc) but didn’t make any explicitly sexual advances for the first two years of contact. He would tell me things like “I can’t wait until you’re older and we can live together, go on dates,” etc. All things a 14 year old girl dreams of hearing from an older boy.
When I was 16 I entered my first relationship. He was my first everything. I was still chatting with W, though much less, and had yet to ever meet with him in person. I had become so used to his presence and the fantastical idea of being with him one day that I couldn’t bear to fully break contact with him despite my new relationship. About 6 months into dating new boyfriend, W Snapchatted me at some hour of the night to ask if he could come pick me up from my house. I couldn’t believe it — a large part of me knew it would be for some form of sex but I was so excited to finally see him in person that I told him yes. He parked on my street and I went to his car and I will spare the details (however we did not have sex).
My boyfriend and I broke up about two months later, not because of W, but because he was going to college and wanted the college experience. W and I were involved two more times after that — all before I turned 17. Eventually he started dating a girl my age and broke contact a few months before my 18th bday. He was 22.
Now, having matured a great deal, it’s clear to me how he manipulated/groomed me. What W did was awful, but still — I cheated on my boyfriend. And W’s manipulation doesn’t excuse that or make it go away.
I’m now a year away from graduating college and in my first serious relationship. My current bf has no ties to my highschool and no way of ever finding out about my involvement with W unless I were to tell him myself. We are in a wonderful place; we started dating after previously being friends and I love him more than anything and want to marry him. We talk about our future often. I can’t even fathom the idea of being unfaithful to him.
I hadn’t felt pressured to tell him previously as I’ve sort of blocked out that period of my life — but since we’ve begun talking about our relationship in future terms I feel I have to make a decision.
The problem lies in that I’m fairly certain if he found out I’ve cheated in the past, he would either break up with me or have an incredibly hard time accepting it. I can’t stand the fact that something I did years ago, something that is not representative of who I am now as a partner or a human being, could impact/end my current relationship. He is far from unreasonable but swears by once a cheater always a cheater. And I know that at this point I am manipulating him by not telling him.
I know I have changed, accepted, and internalized how awful the entire situation made me feel. But knowing that if he knew he would never be able to trust me fully — especially because I’ve waited to tell him — is weighing on me so heavily I can’t stand it.
I think maybe I need to go to therapy too but right now I don’t have anyone else to talk to about this and I just need advice. He is 24 — I don’t want him to waste his 20s on me if this is a dealbreaker. Do I just tell him and accept that he will probably end things even though the situation didn’t and will never affect him without my doing?
TLDR : Cheated on my first bf when I was 16 with a 20 yr old, no way for current bf to find out unless I tell him but we are getting serious and it is weighing on me

First of all, I know this isnt gonna happen, and that Tappei himself said he is not a fan of the idea. And I also know usually anime live actions sucks.
BUT
In this case Id like to imagine it being produced as a SERIES, not as a movie. A 13 one-hour episode serie, just like the Directors Cut version.
Lets split the challenges of making it happen:
​

• World - We have seen fantasy worlds being constructed really beautifully, examples: Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, there are many titles.. I dont see Re:Zeros world being any more difficult than those mentioned, in fact it should be easier, since most of season one is in the mansion/capital/arlam, those could be easily depicted on a live action...
• Fantasy Characters: in ReZero we have half elfs, semi beasts, spirits, and characters like Betelgeuse... This would definitely be a challenge, but with the budget I could see it happening, elfs are not that hard to imitate, beast like characters like Ricardo would probably be better off being more humanesk on a live action, Betelgeuse would definitely be a challenge but more on a casting side rather than design. Puck on the other hand would be tough... Its hard to mimic Puck on a live action without looking silly, a talking cute flying cat, not sure how to fix Puck, but everything else is definitely doable
• Soundtrack: if it were to happen Id love to see it use the original soundtrack, buy the rights for it!
• Fight scenes: ReZero is more of a dialogue driven serie, which is why I think it could work with the right prodiction. Elsa fight scene would be easy, theres nothing too special about it. The Majuus in the forest would heavily rely on CGI but with a Game of Thrones like production its a piece of cake. Those dragons are much harder and they looked amazing. The Witchs Cult could easily be done with the right costumes. The White Whale would be a tough one, heavy CGI if done poorly would be the end for the series. I guess most of the CGI budget would have to go for this one. But if done well, could be even more terrifying than in the Anime. I can easily picture it in my mind, similar to Game of Thrones battle at wintefell, against the Night King. A dark night, suddenly the fog comes, people start dying, etc... This could be the peak or the bottom of the series.
• Casting: we finally arrived at the most difficult category... The casting would be the most important, if this one fails, then it would definitely flop... But imagine if we actually get some good cast, like in Game of Thrones? Casting Betelgeuse and Emilia would be the most difficult I suppose.. I dont think the casting should be japanese only, since its a fantasy world and would look weird, I think the show would look better with an western cast. But we would lose the japanese language which I find so appealing in fiction, but thats ok... I think it would be better than being a Japanese only production and have a mediocre cast...

Anyway, I was thinking about it and it seemed really doable in my head, definitely much MUCH easier than Game of Thrones, and we all know how good it was at its peak. Of course, Id only imagine it if it had a production value similar to GOT as well.
​
What do you think the greatest challenge would be? Would you watch it?

ethan said he wanted to do content court so i thought i’ll list some creators i think would make an interesting video

• jeffre star (he is a creator that has been famous since myspace and collaborated with nicki minaj. I think it’ll be interesting to expose his past since he seemed to brand himself into a makeup channel. he went from making music, racist n*zi stuff and now his weird yak farm)
  
• sneako (i feel like they already went over all his stuff so idk about this one)
  
• trainwrecks (don’t know much besides the gambling)
  
• onision (idk if the h3 crew is aware of this youtuber but he’s been famous since the beginning and has dated underage girls and rated bodies of his fans for content. one of the weirdest is him sharing a story of how his daughter fell from a second story window and she was only a couple months old and didn’t help her instead recorded it. this one might be too dark to cover and if they do consider making a content court on him then they’re gonna have to do a shit ton of research.
  
• shane dawson (idk it’s pretty much a dead horse but i feel like it’ll get views)
  
• david dobrik (lots to comment on)
  
• big nik ( I would love if they did a content court on big nik because i feel like the audience his already knows him and hate him lol. there’s lots of weird sexist shit he’s said and even had a podcast with lots of material)
  
• brendan shaub (or any other comedian)
  
• steven crowder (idk if they wanna get into politics)
  
• specific famous reality tv person (could be interesting to share a reality tv person that has done crimes etc. i think ethan talked about a lady on housewives of utah that had some lore)
  

content court is my favorite content! if anyone wants to share their ideas because i’m curious if i missed any good topics

I POSTED THIS ON ANOTHER SUB SORRY IF YOU SEE IT REPEATED
(Ok so I’m in the middle of writing this I think it’s gonna be so long I’m sorry y’all plz somebody read it and talk to me like idk what to do anymore 😭)
I write “like” way too much
Ok so like I just need to get this off my chest and possibly like talk to some ppl idk. Sorry if this is confusing it’ll probably be the first time I write it down. But yk what ur fkn confused bro??? I’m fkn confused. HERE GOES OK. I think I am one of very many things like I cannot figure out what letter I am like am I straight, bi, lesbian, Demi romantic, demisexual??? Like I’m so… good god. Btw I’m a cis woman.
Ok so since I was 12 (I’m 18 now) I’ve been wondering if I’m actually attracted to men and if I’m attracted to women. What does not help this is that I had a sexually traumatic experience with a girl when I was 9 and I have an awful absent father and was taught that men are evil so I can never tell if what I’m thinking is just me or if it’s a response to trauma. Btw I’m an only child of a single mother (this is relevant later).
When I was a kid I remember going to kindergarten and being asked who I had a crush on and I just remember having absolutely no idea what that meant and when it was explained to me I just like didn’t get the point of it so I just picked one guy and ran with that for the rest of elementary(k-6 where I am). I also do remember deciding to have crushes on boys. Around grade 6 (I found porn lol) I started to have like sexual fantasies and stuff and they were all with boys.
I then went to hs (7-11 where I am). I saw the person with whom I had that traumatic experience with again and I immediately began to question my sexuality (which was not great because religious upbringing haha). That combined with the yk ✨TRAUMA✨ and guilt from that gave me extreme anxiety (that I still have but not as much) and depression (which Tg I no longer have). In hs I remember always being asked if there were any guys I found attractive like celebrities, boys in our school etc. and I just remember thinking that something was horribly wrong with me because there just weren’t any (except for this one guy but I’ll get into why I never admitted that later).
I had a crush on this guy who was very much an asshole and but he was really cute and always talked to me and so I like really liked him for years until hs ended. He is pretty much the only person I can pinpoint having like huge sexual crush on. I have been attracted sexually to men before like seeing a really hot guy on the bus and being like “I wanna f him” and I have a few male celebrity crushes now but yk but they don’t occur that often.
MAN TRAUMA SORRY THIS PART IS LONG
Now here’s where more trauma comes in. So my parents split when I was 5 and since then I only saw my dad when he came to visit me a few times a year. At one point he didn’t call or come visit for 2 years. When I was 15 he went back to his home country without telling anyone. Now he calls me occasionally. From what I remember when he was around I just remember feeling at times really wanting his attention and feeling embarrassed and anxious at times when doing things around him. Later my mom would tell me that he wouldn’t brush my teeth or change my diapers at times. He should have potty trained me but my grandma had to get me out of diapers after my parents split. I don’t think my mom should’ve told me these things when she did cuz she kind of trained my to hate my dad at a very young age but considering the way he still acts and what I remember I do believe her.
Along with teaching me to hate my dad she taught me to hate pretty much all men. She hates men, and I can understand due to her experiences. Like she told me pretty much all of her relationships have been abusive and I know that these “teachings” were her trying to protect me from what she went through but it ducked me up so bad man. She once told me that she thinks the majority of men are rapists and that men can’t feel love (I know logically that this isn’t true but when you’ve been taught something like bro…). She would tell me to be smarter than the other girls who were obsessed with boys so I got it in my head that to like boys was an embarrassing and stupid thing. I get that to her it was just teaching me to be independent and focus on myself but it came out as “men will f up your whole life“ or “I don’t want you involved with boys all they want is to get in your pants and you would be dumb for believing them”.
So I remember just saying that all of that was dumb and if my friend liked a boy I would always just be in my head like “boys are disgusting” “I hate boys they’re bad” and in a way training myself to not like them. So my immediate response to a cute boy would to be like “he’s not cute I’m not stupid I hate boys” and finding any boy cute or having a crush was embarrassing to me. I wouldn’t listen to male artists or watch male YouTubers because of it. This embarrassment still continues to this day even though I’m aware of it. I remember getting older and realizing that boys weren’t necessarily bad and trying to unlearn this.
Nowadays I cannot have any cis male friends. Like I cant think of one man that I’ve been able to have an actual connection with platonically or romantically. When I talk to them or when they’re in the group I don’t feel comfortable. Like I put up a wall or it’s like I’m playing a character when taking to them. It’s not necessarily that I feel like panicked and scared just not comfortable. Like I can never know what they’re thinking or how they think or if they’re going to hate me for no reason or think I’m weird. The best way I can describe it is (and this is only like what it’s like in my head not what I actually think men are like) if your friend has a dog and you’re afraid of dogs but you don’t want anyone to know that you’re afraid of dogs. So the dog is there and everyone loves the dog and you give it treats and interact with it because you don’t want to be weird but you really don’t want the dog to be in the room or near you. You know realistically that the dog isn’t going to hurt you and has no malicious feelings towards you but you can never be sure that the moment you do something it doesn’t like it’s not gonna maul your face. When a man is in the group I don’t really interact with him that much and if a man come up and talks to me like I’ll talk to him but I’ll want nothing more than to leave. I feel like they’re going to hate/judge/think I’m dumb/make fun of me even though I do think that I want intimacy with men. This even extends to family members.
Also I’ve never had a good male figure I’m my life. Like not one that my mom didn’t talk shit about, didn’t leave, make fun of me and make me feel inferior, get violent at some point or wasn’t just generally problematic ex. Excessive drinker.
OK SO WOMEN
So I think I’m attracted to women??? I notice them more than I do men. It’s not like with men like “omg he’s so hot I could f him” but more like “she’s so pretty I wanna hang out with her”. So I’ll ask myself like “what do I want to do about that? Do you want to like grab her tits or do you want to dress like her?” And at first it’s like I hate her cuz she’s so pretty and I want to be as pretty as her but then it’s also like she’s so pretty I want to keep looking at her. (They’re also usually white women and I’m a woc who’s never felt necessarily attractive because of my race
and have a weird identity being biracial with my dad being the black parent. I kind of don’t let myself be attracted to people do my own race and tend to put white people on a pedestal but that’s a whole other can of worms). When I was a kid I remember really wanting to be friends with the pretty girls and playing a game with my friend where we would kiss on the cheek and be married and I remember being really ashamed of it even at the time as like a 6 year old. I had a close friend in hs who I just felt really comfortable with and I really admired her and I would want to hang out one on one with her. Now looking back I’m wondering if I liked her as more than a friend and if I like women in general.
However✨Trauma✨. So like the initial questioning began after the incident that I mentioned earlier that happened when I was 9. I’m not sure if this is all me convincing myself that what happened was my fault because if I like women then that means that I must have wanted that. Or that if I like women automatically that experience wasn’t traumatic. I logically know this isn’t true but still. It has very much been “I must like women because this” and only recently have I begun to remove attraction towards women from that experience. Recently I decided that I would just “try it out” like accepting if I feel attracted to a woman instead of just being like “no” and I thought I was probably bi . And I’m super confused like I look at a pretty girl and I’m like “is this real attraction?” And then I’m like “no I must just want to be like her and I’m convincing myself to be attracted to her so I must be straight” and then I’m kind of sad like that identity goes away. But then I see a cute guy and I’m like “is this real attraction” and then I’m like “I must be just convincing myself to be attracted to him because I wouldn’t be accepted if I was gay so I must be a lesbian” and then I’m kind of sad not only cuz I’m gonna be disowned (screamingcryingthrowingup) but because I can’t be with men. And like I do think I’m attracted to men because I’ve had crushes on men and with porn I usually like M/M or M/M/F.
Also when I used to equate liking men with being dumb I would see men and relationships and be like “avert your eyes no you don’t want that” and it’s very similar to when I would deny liking women like I’d see an attractive woman and be like “avert your eyes you don’t want that”. Then I would pick out like conventionally attractive men and be like see look you’re attracted to him like trying to convince myself. But the thing is it’s very similar to when I was trying to get out of my “liking boys is bad” mindset like I’d be like “don’t avoid your eyes anymore just look at him he’s attractive”. I’ve been doing the same thing with women too recently trying to get over the whole averting my eyes like “just look at her it’s ok”. But then I sometimes end up convincing myself that I’m attracted to her when I don’t even feel that I am.
CHAPTER WHATEVER A BAD DATE
So like I joined bumble and started talking to this guys and like he was really sweet I didn’t really find him attractive like he was cute and all but wtv. He would like say good morning to me every morning even though we’d spoken like once and if respond and we had a bunch of conversations but like I was never exactly happy to talk to him. Like he showed green flags all around (till later) and then he asked me out and I wanted so badly to want to go. I convinced myself I was just scared but it just created this constant anxiety around him and I dreaded it so bad. So I go he’s nice but makes a homophobic comment and a sexist comment over text earlier that I probably shouldn’t have ignored and I just shut down mid date. Like staring at the door. Like I already didn’t want to be there so that just made it worse. He was really interested and he kept texting me after but I kind of told him I had a lot of work (to be be fair I did) and then I kind of ghosted him.
Like I don’t know I dreaded that date and I could not feel anything for him. Part of me is like you just weren’t interested and another part of me is like this sounds exactly like what a lot of lesbians go through before discovering they’re lesbian. BUT ALSO. I was talking to my friend who was going through a similar thing and who identifies as ace and they were describing the same feelings as me. Like they wanted intimacy but dating stressed them out so much and they wanted to be friends with someone first. Then they were talking about childhood stuff and I related to them with the picking a crush and just wanting to go hang out with your friends instead of date and I RELATED SO HARD. (I know not all of these things in and of themselves are necessarily indicators of asexuality) So that got me thinking am I possibly demisexual/demiromantic/gray ace wtf like just on the spectrum. It would explain me not being attracted to as many people as often as my peers and trying to convince myself to like people and all that but still there could be other reasons.
CONCLUSION FINALLY????
Also im so confused it’s hard for me to even tell what attraction is anymore.
Here are my concluding questions for myself and for y’all I guess.
Is my possible attraction to women just a result of my trauma and am I just straight and sexually repressed?
Am I bi with trauma?
Does my trauma with men not mean anything for my sexuality and am I just a lesbian whose possible attraction to men is just comphet?
Am I an any of the above gray ace with trauma?
I should also mention that having a family has always been like #1 for me because of how I grew up so the thought of not getting to kind of restore what I lost because of my identity is really scary. Also most men I like in my fantasies they turn into this paternal figure (while I still like them sexually I think) but without a doubt I have severe daddy issues.
I’ll edit more stuff in later if I think it’s needed.
I wrote so much I’m sorry.

So Im making a fantasy story where the mc's introduced to the Seven Deadly Sins, where they're all badass and strong.
I gave them unique powers and now I need weapon ideas Heres more context about their powers/personality:
Wrath: He's the most powerful, able to control hellfire, shadows, corrupt others, make his own Demons etc. He's a decent guy but anger him and you're dead. Greed: He can possess people for a short time, steal anything, absorb the powers of others and make more quantities of an object he chooses. He's pretty selfish and doesn't care about consequences Pride: Make himself stronger, have a strong intimidating aura that scares others quickly, have a loud and deadly roar, capable of killing those who are close-by. He's pretty....prideful and only cares about himself. Glutton: He can basically eat anything/everything, there's no limit. He has strong teeth and a crazy stomach to ingest everything. He's the mature one from the Sins, older and muscular too, (even if he has no limit to eating :0) Lust: She's my favorite. She can create pheromones (like Poison Ivy) to seduce/control others and have a poisonous kiss. She can also sing a song to control those who hear it, kinda like a Siren. And, she's very intelligent. Though she's the Sin of Lust, she's more attracted to power, knowledge etc. Yeah, she may be attractive, but she uses that to gain knowledge/power, which I think is super cool. Envy: Similar to Greed, she too can steal physical items (though not as advanced as Greed) and can mimic the powers and skills of others (slightly different from stealing? kinda? idk) She can clone herself or others and shapeshift into other people. As a demon, her nails grow longer, able to claw anyone. She's the mean girl, always trying to start drama. She's like a snake...a venomous one. Sloth: She's also my fav as she can fight without moving. She can put others to sleep and control it, teleport, slow down time while moving freely herself, and use telekinesis! She's pretty smart too. Shes the youngest yet weakest of the Sins. But, she can be a badass when she feels like it.
Anyways, got a little carried away... but is there any weapons that work well for these Sins? I would love suggestions! (If anyone's seen the anime SDS and Fullmetal Alchemist, you may tell that I took HEAVY inspiration from them tehe...)

Location Canada.
Recently got fired at a club for taking money at the door to help wealthy customers who dont wait in lines. I don't understand the issue here as long as its done discreetly as we are allowed to let our friends skip the line but not people who pay but thats a whole different conversation. I think they sent someone from the office (club is owned by a large company) to test me as a random girl who wasn't even dressed like she goes clubbing offered me 100 dollars to skip the line ( the usually price is 20). Then she said wow that was easy when I immediately said fuck yeah you can skip the line for 100 dollars. No clubber in the right mind would automatically offer $100 right off the bat. They later called me in to view the cameras and showed me a video of me shaking some guys hand after he looked at his wallet for a while. You don't see any money, its very easily deniable. I of course denied it but they were so sure I took money. I knew if they keep looking at more video footage they will find way less professional hand offs as a lot of young people post-covid have no idea how club etiquette works. People often get told they still have to pay cover but they try their luck anyway by telling the cover girl they already paid security to get in so they essentially tell on us thinking there is a slim chance they get free cover (that would be so dumb as we would have let them in for the same price as everyone waiting in line). Also people often come up to me with their money flashing and loudly asking how much to skip like they are buying something at a store. I have to tell them no but every once in a while I get greedy and take it anyway when its a large group and the security team is about to make a few 100 dollars.
​
So to avoid them looking through all the footage and considering that most likely they did set me up with that girl from the office, I owned up to taking money from a few people. They then said if I don't give the money back they will call the police and report me for theft as I stole from the club. They claim that I stole money from them because people would have spent more money inside if we made them wait in line instead. I am lined up for a new job starting soon and I don't want this dumb little side gig messing it up. So even though my gut was telling me they cant do anything. I gave them back the money we made that night and left. For further clarification people were told they still have to pay cover to the club, they are only paying me to skip the line. The cover charge is taken by a girl who stamps them once they enter the club. Everyone except for that one girl who paid 100 dollars paid cover and it wasn't my call to give her free cover the head doorman decided she paid way too much to pay cover on top.
I am just curious is there any chance I could have gotten in legal trouble for taking money at the door if I said no you are not getting it back and left? What about for letting people in without making them pay cover? Could I get in legal trouble for that?

(Ok so I’m in the middle of writing this I think it’s gonna be so long I’m sorry y’all plz somebody read it and talk to me like idk what to do anymore 😭)

MAN TRAUMA SORRY THIS PART IS LONG
Now here’s where more trauma comes in. So my parents split when I was 5 and since then I only saw my dad when he came to visit me a few times a year. At one point he didn’t call or come visit for 2 years. When I was 15 he went back to his home country without telling anyone. Now he calls me occasionally. From what I remember when he was around I just remember feeling at times really wanting his attention and feeling embarrassed and anxious at times when doing things around him. Later my mom would tell me that he wouldn’t brush my teeth or change my diapers at times. He should have potty trained me but my grandma had to get me out of diapers after my parents split. I don’t think my mom should’ve told me these things when she did cuz she kind of trained my to hate my dad at a very young age but considering the way he still acts and what I remember I do believe her.
Along with teaching me to hate my dad she taught me to hate pretty much all men. She hates men, and I can understand due to her experiences. Like she told me pretty much all of her relationships have been abusive and I know that these “teachings” were her trying to protect me from what she went through but it ducked me up so bad man. She once told me that she thinks the majority of men are rapists and that men can’t feel love (I know logically that this isn’t true but when you’ve been taught something like bro…). She would tell me to be smarter than the other girls who were obsessed with boys so I got it in my head that to like boys was an embarrassing and stupid thing. I get that to her it was just teaching me to be independent and focus on myself but it came out as “men will f up your whole life“ or “I don’t want you involved with boys all they want is to get in your pants and you would be dumb for believing them”.
So I remember just saying that all of that was dumb and if my friend liked a boy I would always just be in my head like “boys are disgusting” “I hate boys they’re bad” and in a way training myself to not like them. So my immediate response to a cute boy would to be like “he’s not cute I’m not stupid I hate boys” and finding any boy cute or having a crush was embarrassing to me. I wouldn’t listen to male artists or watch male YouTubers because of it. This embarrassment still continues to this day even though I’m aware of it. I remember getting older and realizing that boys weren’t necessarily bad and trying to unlearn this.
Nowadays I cannot have any cis male friends. Like I cant think of one man that I’ve been able to have an actual connection with platonically or romantically. When I talk to them or when they’re in the group I don’t feel comfortable. Like I put up a wall or it’s like I’m playing a character when taking to them. It’s not necessarily that I feel like panicked and scared just not comfortable. Like I can never know what they’re thinking or how they think or if they’re going to hate me for no reason or think I’m weird. The best way I can describe it is (and this is only like what it’s like in my head not what I actually think men are like) if your friend has a dog and you’re afraid of dogs but you don’t want anyone to know that you’re afraid of dogs. So the dog is there and everyone loves the dog and you give it treats and interact with it because you don’t want to be weird but you really don’t want the dog to be in the room or near you. You know realistically that the dog isn’t going to hurt you and has no malicious feelings towards you but you can never be sure that the moment you do something it doesn’t like it’s not gonna maul your face. When a man is in the group I don’t really interact with him that much and if a man come up and talks to me like I’ll talk to him but I’ll want nothing more than to leave. I feel like they’re going to hate/judge/think I’m dumb/make fun of me even though I do think that I want intimacy with men. This even extends to family members.
Also I’ve never had a good male figure I’m my life. Like not one that my mom didn’t talk shit about, didn’t leave, make fun of me and make me feel inferior, get violent at some point or wasn’t just generally problematic ex. Excessive drinker.
OK SO WOMEN
So I think I’m attracted to women??? I notice them more than I do men. It’s not like with men like “omg he’s so hot I could f him” but more like “she’s so pretty I wanna hang out with her”. So I’ll ask myself like “what do I want to do about that? Do you want to like grab her tits or do you want to dress like her?” And at first it’s like I hate her cuz she’s so pretty and I want to be as pretty as her but then it’s also like she’s so pretty I want to keep looking at her. (They’re also usually white women and I’m a woc who’s never felt necessarily attractive because of my race
and have a weird identity being biracial with my dad being the black parent. I kind of don’t let myself be attracted to people do my own race and tend to put white people on a pedestal but that’s a whole other can of worms). When I was a kid I remember really wanting to be friends with the pretty girls and playing a game with my friend where we would kiss on the cheek and be married and I remember being really ashamed of it even at the time as like a 6 year old. I had a close friend in hs who I just felt really comfortable with and I really admired her and I would want to hang out one on one with her. Now looking back I’m wondering if I liked her as more than a friend and if I like women in general.
However✨Trauma✨. So like the initial questioning began after the incident that I mentioned earlier that happened when I was 9. I’m not sure if this is all me convincing myself that what happened was my fault because if I like women then that means that I must have wanted that. Or that if I like women automatically that experience wasn’t traumatic. I logically know this isn’t true but still. It has very much been “I must like women because this” and only recently have I begun to remove attraction towards women from that experience. Recently I decided that I would just “try it out” like accepting if I feel attracted to a woman instead of just being like “no” and I thought I was probably bi . And I’m super confused like I look at a pretty girl and I’m like “is this real attraction?” And then I’m like “no I must just want to be like her and I’m convincing myself to be attracted to her so I must be straight” and then I’m kind of sad like that identity goes away. But then I see a cute guy and I’m like “is this real attraction” and then I’m like “I must be just convincing myself to be attracted to him because I wouldn’t be accepted if I was gay so I must be a lesbian” and then I’m kind of sad not only cuz I’m gonna be disowned (screamingcryingthrowingup) but because I can’t be with men. And like I do think I’m attracted to men because I’ve had crushes on men and with porn I usually like M/M or M/M/F.
Also when I used to equate liking men with being dumb I would see men and relationships and be like “avert your eyes no you don’t want that” and it’s very similar to when I would deny liking women like I’d see an attractive woman and be like “avert your eyes you don’t want that”. Then I would pick out like conventionally attractive men and be like see look you’re attracted to him like trying to convince myself. But the thing is it’s very similar to when I was trying to get out of my “liking boys is bad” mindset like I’d be like “don’t avoid your eyes anymore just look at him he’s attractive”. I’ve been doing the same thing with women too recently trying to get over the whole averting my eyes like “just look at her it’s ok”. But then I sometimes end up convincing myself that I’m attracted to her when I don’t even feel that I am.
CHAPTER WHATEVER A BAD DATE
So like I joined bumble and started talking to this guys and like he was really sweet I didn’t really find him attractive like he was cute and all but wtv. He would like say good morning to me every morning even though we’d spoken like once and if respond and we had a bunch of conversations but like I was never exactly happy to talk to him. Like he showed green flags all around (till later) and then he asked me out and I wanted so badly to want to go. I convinced myself I was just scared but it just created this constant anxiety around him and I dreaded it so bad. So I go he’s nice but makes a homophobic comment and a sexist comment over text earlier that I probably shouldn’t have ignored and I just shut down mid date. Like staring at the door. Like I already didn’t want to be there so that just made it worse. He was really interested and he kept texting me after but I kind of told him I had a lot of work (to be be fair I did) and then I kind of ghosted him.
Like I don’t know I dreaded that date and I could not feel anything for him. Part of me is like you just weren’t interested and another part of me is like this sounds exactly like what a lot of lesbians go through before discovering they’re lesbian. BUT ALSO. I was talking to my friend who was going through a similar thing and who identifies as ace and they were describing the same feelings as me. Like they wanted intimacy but dating stressed them out so much and they wanted to be friends with someone first. Then they were talking about childhood stuff and I related to them with the picking a crush and just wanting to go hang out with your friends instead of date and I RELATED SO HARD. (I know not all of these things in and of themselves are necessarily indicators of asexuality) So that got me thinking am I possibly demisexual/demiromantic/gray ace wtf like just on the spectrum. It would explain me not being attracted to as many people as often as my peers and trying to convince myself to like people and all that but still there could be other reasons.
CONCLUSION FINALLY????
Also im so confused it’s hard for me to even tell what attraction is anymore.
Here are my concluding questions for myself and for y’all I guess.
Is my possible attraction to women just a result of my trauma and am I just straight and sexually repressed?
Am I bi with trauma?
Does my trauma with men not mean anything for my sexuality and am I just a lesbian whose possible attraction to men is just comphet?
Am I an any of the above gray ace with trauma?
I should also mention that having a family has always been like #1 for me because of how I grew up so the thought of not getting to kind of restore what I lost because of my identity is really scary. Also most men I like in my fantasies they turn into this paternal figure (while I still like them sexually I think) but without a doubt I have severe daddy issues.
I’ll edit more stuff in later if I think it’s needed.
I wrote so much I’m sorry.

I could really use a 3rd perspective, I am having a hard time understanding this situation. When it comes to friendships, my partner becomes easily upset when I talk about my plans with friends.
TLDR: I planned a girls' trip with my old college friends. Partner was upset and volatile during the whole planning process, he felt insecure, gave me lots of rules, and thought I was going to cheat – I did not. Gave deadlines on when to be back, and he was upset when every single plan did not go exactly to what I said would happen, and that I was lying and not being true to my word. I told him I would see a movie with him before the trip, but I was late and so he made me see the movie when I was supposed to be getting ready to leave for my trip. When I got back, more arguing ensued because I wanted to post a picture of me and my friends. He overall felt disrespected that I was inconsiderate of a movie we were going to see, I carpooled last minute instead of being on my own time, did not come home at the time estimate I discussed, went to my friend's apartment for a tour, and posted a mirror selfie of me and my friends.
In February, I reunited with my best friends from college and visited Charlotte, where one of my friends is currently living. We booked a hotel room for one night and did some bar crawling in the city. It was a night of catching up, drinking, and dancing, just the 5 of us girlies reliving a night out in our college town. One month in advance before beginning planning this weekend getaway, I tell my partner that I may be going on a trip to charlotte with my friends in several weeks. His attitude changed immediately, and he was filled with lots of questions. I told him the date and that although was not certain, was likely because it was the weekend that all of my friends were free. He was visibly upset. As the trip became closer, I decided to buy myself press-on nails and some gold hoop earrings. He was upset that I bought myself these things, because he said he wants to pay to have my nails done, and he wants to pay for my earrings. Later after trying to better understand why he was actually upset, he tells me he feels hurt because I don’t put effort in my daily appearance like I do with my friends. I do not think this is true, because my makeup is always done, and effort is put in my appearance when we go anywhere. Any time I would text my friends about logistics of the trip when we were together, he would get upset. We spend lots of time together, so it felt nearly unavoidable. There were multiple cases where he would tell me “rules” for the trip – no boys, no accepting drinks from guys, no talking to guys, etc. Also, no sharing beds with my friends (we are all straight women in a two double bed hotel), and I had to keep him updated on where we were and to call him at the end of the night. Of course, during the trip, I kept him updated, boys were ignored, I called him at the end of the night, and took a futon instead of sharing a bed with my girl friend .The constant asking of him to not be involved with other men was pretty insulting, I have no history of cheating on him, but he has cheated on me. He reminds me a couple weeks before the trip that we are going to see the movie Ant-Man the day it comes out, this movie came out 1 day before my trip, so I promised him I would see the film with him before my trip. I currently live 1.45 hrs away from him and did not manage my time well to pack for the trip and to visit him, and ended up arriving late the first day of the showing. He insisted that instead of seeing a late night showing, we have to see a mid-day showing which conflicted with the time I was going to leave for my trip. He said I had to do this because I was disrespectful of his time, and if I am willing to cut my time short with him then I can cut my time with my friends short too. I ended up seeing the movie with him, and slightly disrupted my schedule for leaving. I was not willing to stay and wait for a classic Marvel post credit scene, and he offered for us to not wait for the post credit scene to avoid me being more late. He is a big Marvel fan, so I know this movie he has been anticipating was important to him, and although I should’ve managed my time better, I think it made things worse for him to force me to see the film at such a conflicting time for me. I was very bitter during our time at the movies, and we argued more intensely in the car back. Once we were back at his place, my friend offered to pick me up from his place so that we could carpool. I was relieved, because I can hardly afford gas and I am terrified of city driving. It was just a better idea for us to save money and be together. I told him I was carpooling with my friends instead of driving myself, and he was very angry and told me I am not being true to my word, because I had said some weeks previously I would drive myself. He told me carpooling was a problem because I would be on someone else’s time, and I wouldn’t be home at a time he needed me by? He was pushing for me to give him an answer of a time I would be back by, so I threw in some numbers of 2-4 pm as an estimate of when I would realistically be done with my trip. The morning after the trip, we had brunch. I told my boyfriend we would have brunch. However, we ended up stopping at my friends place- who lived in the city, for a tour and final chit chat. My boyfriend was calling me and texting me upset, because I did not tell him I would be stopping by my friends house, and that I am again breaking my promises. I ended getting back to my boyfriend’s place around 5:30 pm. He apologized and we had a long talk and wanted to move forward from what happened, and he had me convinced in the moment that this issue was both of our faults, equally. The next day, I am getting ready to post a picture from the trip and he begs me not to post it, and if I do, I am not allowed to caption it a “girls trip” or put the city we visited, because it is disrespectful to him because he says that girls trips have a reputation of being for promiscuous women. He also tells me that the picture I posted looks low quality, he says that I don’t post him like I do my friends, and that I am not prioritizing him for posting this picture with my friends. This later breaks down into more of his tears, and then he begins to trauma dump a lot at me about everything he is feeling and everything he is resentful of. I just kind of took it all in, apologized, and comforted him, but I still posted my friends.
​
This is not the first time problems have arisen while I try to do things with my friends. Am I being inconsiderate in my own management of my friendships and my relationship, or is something else going on?

We decided to write a post on Reddit together and get some unbiased opinions. For background, we started dating about a year and a half ago. He graduated in December and now works a 9-5 and I’m still in college (junior year).
I 21(F) like to wear whatever I want, and go out to bars with my friends(I’m very respectful to our relationship when doing so) I tend to wear short skirts, crop tops, short dresses which can irritate my boyfriend time to time causing arguments. Recently he asked me to not wear a skirt when I sent him a photo of what I was wearing. He never directly demands that I change what I’m wearing but instead asks me and explains me why and I have always worn what I wanted and disregarded his requests. I took this as very controlling and it started a week long argument. He doesn’t always make a problem of what I wear as I have worn that skirt before.
I 21 (F) also have “restrictions” on what I can and can’t post . I have been asked to not post photos of my behind in swimsuits or in certain poses which has started a multitude of arguments as I want to be able to post what I want . (I also have photos of him on my instagram it’s clear I have a boyfriend.) Before this restriction that was put on me I have restricted him from following certain girls on instagram and liking certain people’s instagram posts (as I was insecure over these people because he kept liking their pictures).
My boyfriend then came up with the idea that if I would be mad at him for staring at a girl in a certain outfit that I can’t wear it. Same goes with instagram posts example (not posting a photo I would be uncomfortable with him liking)
We are having an issue settling on these topics and want outside unbiased opinions.

Hello my name is Ross (nickname Andrew) and I am a 20 y/o M looking for someone ages between 18-20.
A little about me is that I am 6’3 and I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I like to play videogames on Xbox and PC (I play a variety but rn I’m playing a lot of Sea of Thieves, Stardew Valley, rainbow six siege, NBA2k23, and a few survival games here and there). I also like to watch/follow the NBA and I like to bowl. I also am very musically inclined, I know how to play 6 instruments and I like to try and play my instruments as much as possible. I am also passionate about learning new things and trying new things too.
I’m looking for a girl who isn’t bland and can keep a conversation going (I hate doing all the work). Having interesting hobbies are also a plus. I’m not too picky about things but I’m not really into bigger women and also you must be AT LEAST 18+. Besides that I’m not picky.
I’m looking for an online friendship that could turn into a relationship maybe if it feels right. I’m not pushing a relationship tho so I’m fine with being just friends if you don’t like the idea of getting into a relationship.

So I matched with this really pretty girl, we both established that we were only looking for some fun. Exchanged snaps to verify and from the get go she was replying wayyy to fast for a girl lol and when I jokingly said "you must be in a rush" she just replied with "You're really attractive and I'm very horny" so I was already feeling a little suspicious 😅 She then asked my location and I gave her a general idea of my location and she said she's close and is otw in a few minutes.
Then apparently before leaving she asked if I can send her $30 for gas because her car is empty and I said well if that's the case I can pick you up. She said "cuz of her privacy she doesn't like to be picked up at her house" and I said, "ok I can pick you up at a public place near your neighborhood". No response after that. Then I just texted "ok nvm then" and she instantly just replied with "Really? 😢" and I left it at that.
Is this just something to extort easy money from people or could it be something genuine? Like it's only $30 so Idrc and at the same time Idrc if I don't have sex for one night either. So just wondering if anyone else has encountered this?

hi i was wondering if i dyed my hair black and it’s kinda fading since i had brown under will using keracolor in onyx be a good idea. not sure if it will turn my hair blue or green

So to start off, I (18 afab) never really felt uncomfortable being seen as a girl or identifying as one. But lately I have been having a gender identity crisis, this is the second time this has happened. Both times when I was doing online school and had limitted contact with my friends. Somethings that are constantly making me doubt my gender is, I was never the most girliest of girls, I dont really like wearing dresses or skirts, I have cried when my mom tried to get me to wear one but when I am alone at home, I sometimes like trying on skirts and dresses and being girly and it doesnt feel weird at all. But I was nervous when I first went to a gynocologist to get a vaccine. And everytime at a hairsalon getting waxed, the ladies would ask if I wanted to get like that place vaccinated and that question would make me so uncomfortable. The first time I had my period, I felt a sense of dread, which I gave the reason for as the fear of growing because I was scared of growing old back then. A second thing is, I have always felt a bit of awkwardness with my chest area, sometimes I wanted it to be smaller (I have like BB cup) but for convenience sake and sometimes I'd be really feeling myself and feeling good about them, especially when I was dating a guy. Sometimes tho I feel like I think and act like a guy which is what is causing this crisis I am having. I have tried imagining people refering to me as he/him, or using words that are generally masculine and at best I dont feel anything, no sense of comfort or longing, but no particular sense of uncomfortableness either. Sometimes it even makes me want to puke. I have heard most trans people express that if given the chance to press a button and change their sex, they'd do it in a heartbeat, but I dont know if I would, I feel like I'd be more drawn to the girl button more. I also dont know if I'd feel better presenting as male, like if I were to wake up next day as a guy, I dont know what I would feel, the idea changes from feeling uncomfortable to just not feeling anything. However, one thing I find myself relating to in trans people's stories is a sense of being a stranger to their own bodies. Like most of the time I dont get that sense of depersonalization unless I look at my reflection for a prolonged amount of time, but since this crisis began, I have been avoiding looking at my reflection. Like I mentioned, I had this crisis happen before, about 2.5 years ago. Back then, I felt like I was a guy that was really a girl that wanted to be a girl. I felt ugly, and gross and I hated my seemingly masculine features, which I have always disliked. I ended up getting therapy for it because my anxiety levels were so high that I couldnt eat or sleep properly. In therapy, my psychologist told me that I didnt need to make a decision on my identity right now, that I could just focus on life and it worked and even tho the question "am I really a girl" came up in my mind a few times, it was pretty shut and close, I could say "yes I am a girl" or " I dont need to be thinking about this right now, I feel comfortable about my body" and move on and dont think about it again. And until recently, I never felt uncomfortable in my body, I got into 2 different relationships with a few months in between. And in the latter one, we did start talking about sexual things, likes, dislikes, doing some dirty talk and I never felt uncomfortable, I just felt flustered but that's normal, right? Until very lately I was really happy about my looks, the person I was becoming matched up with the image of self I had in my mind perfectly. And I never felt like I was pretending, everything came naturally, I made new friends, I was feeling comfortable in my body, no sense of being a stranger in my own body, nothing. I was drawn to doing make up, being a bit more feminine with an edge of masculinity. And then suddenly, this starts again, and I am so confused because unlike last time, the comfort I find in being refered to using traditionally feminine nouns or adjectives is dimmed down a lot. Whenever I feel like I feel warmth towards that, my brain goes "but you are pretending, you are just trying to be the norm" and then I get a pit in my stomach and I really dont know what to do. I have met up with a psychiatrist and will be seeing my psychologist again, the psychiatrist said that she wanted to test me for adhd and also give me anxiety medication after keeping an eye on how I do for a week or so. I dont know why this is happening, I feel like my whole image of self shifted at the drop of a dime and I am constantly anxious, constantly overthinking, I jsut want this to end and until I see my psychologist again, this is the only thing that is giving me comfort so if any of you could give me a perspsective, any advice, anything, I'd be so thankful.

I got really into fitness, track my macros and calories and what not, track my sleep, and normally work out 6x/week and do MMA 6x/week (but for Ramadan I'm working out 12x/week and doing no MMA since I need to drink water constantly while doing it). I'm pretty boring though, with the exception of smoking weed pretty much all the time. I'm buff now and have a solid v-taper and large shoulders with a flat stomach in the morning before I've eaten anything, but my lifestyle is pretty vanilla since I don't stay up skiing all night or party all night anymore.
I'm looking for a cute gym gf or a chill and pretty stoner gf, but the girls I match with on Tinder are mostly tatted up drug-addicted and/or alcoholic sluts and not really long-term relationship material. Probably because I give out thug vibes even though I'm not a gangster, just a nerdier guy who grew up in a hood and got some of that rubbed off on him as a result. Is there anything I can do to attract the types of girls I'm looking for, and is me not drinking at all a dealbreaker for most women?
I ask because girls usually wanna meet up for drinks, and it's awkward telling them I don't drink at all. I honestly wouldn't mind doing Coke or rolling, as they have no calories and aren't estrogenic like alcohol, but the problem is they fuck up my sleep. So I'm left with weed as my only vice and stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm extremely close to getting abs, I've been doing heavy weighted planks and weighted leg raises and can feel them getting stronger. I really don't wanna start drinking and sabotage that, but at the same time I wanna socialize and date as well.
Also, there's an elephant in the room, and that's that with me being Muslim and brown and saying I don't drink, I think some girls assume I'm religious when I'm really not. I avoid drinking because of the calories and estrogenic effects, and because hangovers fuck up my morning workouts. It has nothing to do with it being forbidden in Islam.
Do attractive girls that don't drink at all exist? And if so, how do I go about finding them? Like I said before my dream gf would be a gym cutie obsessed with fitness like me who doesn't drink, or a stoner girl who blazes all the time but doesn't drink either.

Okay bear with me. Theres probably no chance of this but i think i know what would be the perfect idea for a threquel to the series
Kay so we know how it leans into non lore friendly territory, honestly i say we lean even further
I say we go post Lotr and make a new war against (#s celebrimbor) since we know what happens. Besr with me. But i say we just build into pure diversity territory
Think about it Instead of orc tribes we do races and weapon styles
Imagine
Humans(x2 kingdoms maybe?), Elves, Orcs, Dwarves, wizards
We just rework armor and weapons to mimic the appropriate races ala war of the 5 kingdoms kinda like the hobbit.
Maybe one or two territories for each race to explore and fight. Honestly not sure how to write it in such a way that would make a whole lot of sense (idk maybe (#s celebrimbor) is just really into dominating middle earth now) but just jesus christ i feel like itd be the ultimate Cap off to the series. Just open it up to middle earth and give us the all out war of our dreams. Maybe throw in some rings of power for each territory leader for some magic fun times.
Just a crackpot thread idea i know. But a girl can dream...
I know theres no chance but like what else would you throw in to the melting pot
