i’ve actually read many books with really realistic portrayals of trauma, my thing is that there is a way to have character development and still have trauma, i just read a book where she doesn’t trust people yet, but does want to try and live her life afterwards, but when she meets new people or is in certain situations she has ptsd, or has really bad nightmares. it’s just… having her stay the exact same just feels repetitive. because while i love accurate portrayals, it’s also important to remember that healing from trauma is possible, and it’s usually slow and painful not “i stay the exact same until one moment i get over it” it would have been nice to see her slowly progressing after 90 chapters.
i agree it does at some point feel like ppl are enjoying that she’s miserable and traumatized? i just wanted the story to progress more that why i also dropped it
i really get this i don’t know why everyone’s downvoting you! it’s a fake book that 100% doesn’t need to follow reality, i had a similar problem with ruby, not because i didn’t think she deserved to be still traumatized, but because the story didn’t feel like it was progressing at all with her just being the same unfortunately. i ended up dropping it for that reason
sometimes i think about that one old tumblr post where the couple invited everyone to a costume party and it was their wedding lmao, genuinely was probably so fun
the only one i’ve seen that looked kinda fun was the bride asked everyone to wear mostly black so the wedding party would stand out, and honestly everyone looked so elegant i couldn’t be mad.
it took me till year 2 and watching my bf play on the computer to realize that upgrading tools actually does something and is not just an aesthetic thing (i didn’t know holding down the button was an option)
i have a feeling me n u should trade recs… 😂
there’s one i think it’s called “i was just having fun with my time limit” and a girl with cancer is reincarnated into a family that thinks she’s useless, but she doesn’t care because she’s so excited to be able to run and be outside and not be tired (she ends up changing the script is cute) it is newer tho so it’s only on chapter 20
or it was a “misunderstanding” like… sorry last time i checked i didn’t murder someone’s whole family because someone got some info wrong
me to the FL “girl stand UP i’m holding onto this grudge FOR you at this point 😫”
to tag onto this when FL is legit angry and has reasons to be and “forgets it all” when the ML says something like “your too hot when your angry”
i always make sure i give service dogs a little salute and say thank u for ur service!! because they are doing so good
being forgiving doesn’t mean you can’t be a bad mother. sorry, but her not being able to empathize with her child being assaulted says more about her than her being able to forgive the man that assaulted her child. truly disgusting behavior
while i have gotten better at it and using certain bobbers helps, it’s still really frustrating to me and i often avoid it whenever possible. ( i had my bf at the time fish all the harder ones for the CC bc i was so frustrated 😅) i don’t do well with this type of mini game tho.
crazy it hasn’t happened or i didn’t notice i think i’m on year 4 and i always have fully grown trees untapped ever year (i almost never tap trees i forget about them) 😔
way under profit goal but they’ve opened 5 stores alone in just my area this year
i just read one called “romancing miss stone” and it’s about a girl who owns her fathers tour company and is in debt and a man chasing after a fiancé that broke up with him over text while on an archeological dig. he pays her to take him and it is quite the adventure it’s really fun and low stakes tho
i saw the alien flair when i first joined i remember thinking “ahhh what a welcoming space this will be”
any of juliette cross’s “stay for a spell” series! they all don’t realize they are mates until the last half of the books and they are my fav paranormal romance books of all time!
it’s never happened to me! or at least i didn’t notice. so not a spoiler! i’ve seen the mushrooms just not in this area so i was confused :)
ohhhh i didn’t know about that! thanks! i havent done much of anything in that particular “room” so i’m not surprised i missed it 😅
where in the hell do those giant mushrooms come from????
i genuinely had a friend in college that was in the same situation, she actually couldn’t open any cards up in her name because her parents had so many bad ones that she had to repay first. i always told her that she needed to take legal action but she was brainwashed into the “family is everything” they treated her like shit tbh.
the reason i heard about this is because the book was titled and it’s the saying of a nazi brotherhood 💀 and then she just switched the word placements 👩🏼🦯➡️
you need to be more embarrassed and ashamed of your behaviors if i’m honest. the way you are so cavalier talking about “forgetting my husband medicines” because ur ~quirky~ stfu and grow up for real. i cannot believe your poor husband has been “patiently putting up with this” i’m sure he just knows that if he divorces you he will have to pay for u to be lazy and incompetent on purpose, while also having to raise his kids alone, because you just wanna watch your little show and “forget”
AITA for telling my husband to eat ramen?
