I read an AITA post a few weeks back about a woman who liked having snacks in the bath when she's had a long day (a result of residual trauma iirc - the bath was her safe space). Her brand new husband of three weeks, a man twice her age who had no job, made her pay all of his bills and do all housework, and spent all day every day gaming because he wanted to make it as a Twitch streamer, had always been fine with this; but, on the day in question, had whisked her bath snacks out of her hands as she was on her way to the bathroom and tried to bin them, telling her it was time to 'break her of that filthy habit in his home'. She told him if he ever actually paid anything towards the house she owns outright he might get a say, took her snacks back, and had her lovely bath. He was since giving her the silent treatment.

(Obviously the judgement was an avalanche of 'NTA and also he's abusing you', which she agreed with, and decided to kick him out, so happy ending.)

Anyway I told my husband about this and he was outraged. "I would never do that!" he told me, furious. "I would find it adorable if you had bath snacks!"

Since then, every time I try to have a bath (which I only do as a rare treat) after about ten minutes there has been an anxious scrabbling at the bathroom door.

"Elanor!" he says. "Do you have bath snacks? Do you need anything?"

My answer is irrelevant. He brings me wine and poptarts. Now I have bath snacks. I'm a bath snacks person. Last time he was literally sleeping on the sofa when I went for the bath. Somehow this still happened. I now have an eager bathroom butler. How did this happen. I have never been so decadent yet bewildered.

Okay, so...in sight that I've FINALLY gotten a new phone after many years I decided to download Genshin Impact. I literally just started playing today and I need tips ( ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ)

This is for the random few who run into my posts: if you have any advice for me, I'll appreciate

As a Chinese American, it's so jarring to see positive things said towards China/Chinese culture now that RedNote has become trending.

I see all the TikTok's about people moving to RedNote, all the nice things said about Chinese culture and people and I just feel conflicted. Like great, it's becoming less stigmatized for people to enjoy Chinese culture but I had to go through hell to get to see it.

From 2020-2022, I saw my culture being mocked, memed, and ridiculed. I was being called slurs in the lunch hall in high school. I was glared at in stores by middle aged men. MY OWN FRIENDS refused to stick up for me against blatant Sinophobia and even contributed to it.

I still constantly have to BEG some of my friends, some who I've known for OVER A DECADE, to at least acknowledge that things are different from me than they are for them.

I did an entire paper on Sinophobia for one of my classes. I used only academic journals and sources from accredited schools, I pulled from my own experiences, I put my blood, sweat and tears into that paper. It got me an A in that class too. And that still wasn't enough for some people to ACKNOWLEDGE we had a different experience.

And surprisingly, I never experienced any of the previously listed bullshit in my circle on tumblr so thank you.

Edit: I would like to add that I don't condone hate/generalization to other groups. We can point out discrimination without being discriminatory ourselves. BEHAVE🫵

To all my fellow x reader/self insert fanfic enjoyers: has it ever happened that you feel all fluttery, giddy, and warm about a certain character, but you just can't find any fanfic about them at all?

The unsatisfactory feeling is just the worst 😞

I'm currently hyper fixated on Tack the cobbler from The Thief and The Cobbler, but it's such an old, unpopular movie there's literally no 'x reader' about it and it makes me wanna cry (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)
