I have a newfound respect for you 😌 You're one of the very few people who actually admit to looking disrespectfully (as we all do when it comes to ADC), that takes a lot of courage - US Army doesn't have anything on your bravery ✊🏽

why, thank you 😌 it's been a long journey but i've decided embrace it and live my truth. i'm a whore when it comes to that woman. barely any coherent thoughts, just me wanting to 🖐🏻🍑

I don't "ask" for those au's the same way I didn't ask for a plaster whenever I skinned my knee as a kid: I'm sad and upset and hurt; I didn't know to ask for a plaster but my mom put 1 on me anyway...That's what fics are to me: plasters for my pain

Exactly exactly!!!!!!! You never ask for a specific AU, fanfic authors just come down like an angel granting you a blessing in times of pain!

Suggestion: Next time your therapist asks what you've done, say you made a comprehensive list and just simply hand her a blank sheet of paper with this face 😐...maybe she'll get the message lol

i... basically did that 😆 i had several blocks of time where i just went "i know i should be doing x but i don't think there's enough time so i won't do it."

can you 🐝🌿 that she simply told me i have a "skewed sense of time"? i mean, first of all, i could have told myself that for free. but also dude, i am actively asking your help with that wtf

As much as we'd hate to wait that long for an update, please look after your health first 🙏🏽 I don't think people realise how much the constant nagging about updates could affect a person, to the point where that person could stop writing altogether. Your well-being (especially mentally) takes priority & I'm sorry other people have a hard time grasping that

TL;DR - Update whenever the hell you want 😁

i don't want to wait that long for an update either!! i have so much scribbled in notebooks and scrap papers that i want to share.

but sometimes i have to choose between not writing for a week or be in constant pain for two. and it definitely takes a mental toll too. i never considered stopping writing altogether, but dude, when my mental health was in the dregs? i've gotten like this 🤏🏻 close

thank you for the support!! hopefully the updates will come sooner rather than later

Hi Nina, I'm the person who recommended the stupid wife series (I originally asked on anon in case the Brazillian assumption caused offence 😔) I am an ABSOLUTE SUCKER for enemies-to-lovers fics so this was right up my street 😁 I think I personally would find it a bit weird with having the same name but thankfully their names are different in the show. They kinda skipped over how they got together & I would love to see what changed for Luiza cause she was not about it before. They also have a lot of BTS stuff on youtube with the actresses which is cool to see and the actresses are both so sweet.

it's been forever since i've watched anything brazilian and i've been stalling a little because i really want to like it, but oh, i'm so picky when it comes to brazilian acting. it's like i can see bad acting a lot easier than in other languages. but from the minute and a half i watched, it looks good!!

valentina sounds like a bitch but she's so hot she can step all over me, and luiza i already want to protecc🥹🤲🏻 i can't wait to see them married

let me just... link the playlist with all the episodes here, if anyone wants to watch it (there are english subtitles, folks)

i also already want to buy the book without even really knowing the story because support local queer artists and all, but apparently the second edition is already all sold out (i JUST missed the pre sale). i love that for nathália sodré but come oN

Hey Nina 😊 I saw you responded to my ask (thanks btw) and also saw a few other asks about #stupidwife so I thought I'd answer:

Sadly, I'm not Brazillian but I am a PROUD 😤✊🏽 Indian/South Asian. The series actually reminds me a lot of the Bollywood soaps (the drama, the music, the dramatic camera angles)

There is (99% sure) a season 2 coming - There are a lot of bts videos on TikTok showing them filming new scenes

It is actually a thing that the actress playing Valentina looks like Angelina Jolie (apparently within their fandom they refer to her as the Brazillian Angelina) so you were spot on with that

I think your theories were correct with the miscarriage because of the blood but I'm really curious to know your theory after the last Christmas episode, regarding the pregnancy - Her sister and I wanna say brother-in-law both seemed concerned she shouldn't lie to Valentina; I thought at first maybe Luiza didn't want to say anything until the pregnancy was confirmed but she still had a sullen look after she told Valentina.

hello it took me almost a month to watch all the three christmas episode but, honestly that last one brought me more questions than answers. first of all, i want to punch valentina's mom. "after finding out she was gay, i kept treating her as i always did" and i could hear the "almost like she was my daughter still" what a VILE woman

but i was snooping the comments and people were talking about how maybe luiza didn't really want to go through another pregnancy (considering everything she said when duda was complaining about her own pregnancy), maybe she had other plans with her career or was fine with having just leo. but with leo wanting a sibling, valentina's issues with her mom, everything around her made her feel a bit too much pressure to have another baby. so she tried again (without valentina's knowledge, apparently) and she got pregnant for her wife and their son, but not because she truly wanted to, you know? and it all makes so much sense. ugh, it hurt to see that last hug.

maybe the guilt that comes with such a complicated situation was a trigger for her memory loss. her whole body was so relieved that she lost the baby, but it'd be too much on her psychologically so her brain just went "shut it down, boys"

Congrats on finishing your last exam, I hope it all goes well for you 🙏👍 Do you have any plans for the summer?

thank you!! besides failing two whole classes, i think i'm okay on the other ones. taking 24 credits was an overall dumb move

it's winter break for me, so i'll be back to school in just three weeks. but i plan on reading, writing, going on honest to god walks and most importantly: chilling

Do you have any recommendations for coffee? I've always been a tea drinker (yes I am from the UK 🤦‍♀️) but I've always wanted to get into coffee because I figured it wasn't too far off tea and I like red bull. However, I tried it earlier this year and I just found it really bitter. I tried different things to make it less bitter like adding milk and sugar but it's still too strong a taste for me.

i might not be the best one for tips on how to start liking coffee, because i've been drinking coffee since i was a kid. and i've changed how i take it now, but for the longest time it used to be a lot of milk, a shitload of sugar and a splash of coffee, just enough for the faintest beige color

i'd recommend trying out those fun coffee drinks in coffee shops. something sweet by nature, with whipped cream and chocolate. some of them have just enough of a punch for you to taste the coffee, so you can get used to it, but the sweetness washes it down. i had an iced mocha today and the bitterness was barely there. also, don't be afraid to add stuff!! cinnamon, chocolate, condensed milk, whipped cream, those are all good things to "mask" the coffee taste and help with the bitterness

but if you want to go straight into coffee without the overload of sugar, i think a safe (although expensive and not super environment friendly) bet would be a nespresso machine, keurig or something similar. they usually have some variety packs you can try, with different flavors and intensities. and you can start with pods that are sweeter (like the barista creations for nespresso) and ones that have an intensity around four.

i'm very biased because i do love coffee, and i love trying out new ones and even doing that pretentious "mmm what are the notes in this one?" thing. it takes getting used to, but there's a world of flavors out there. start small, with sugary or weak coffee, and build up from there. i hope you find good coffees on your way!
