[aita-blorbos]

submissions are: Open! FAQ link - this includes a list of things that, if included in your submission, will almost certainly cause it to be deleted

have you ever wanted to write an AITA about your favorite fictional character just to see if anyone notices, except your character is a wizard who gets into a fight with a unicorn and accidentally turns all the fish in the river into lollipops and somehow this seems like it would be a little bit too obvious? well you've come to the right place

rules

all submissions must be fictional. for real life scenarios try @am-i-the-asshole-official

the character must explain why they may be TA. obviously, most people think they're in the right when they do things. however, like the real AITA forum, both sides must be described in detail, and your character must make it clear why they may (or may not) be "the asshole".

title your submissions. the title should be a very quick, one sentence summary of what the character's seeking judgement on in the format of "AITA for [xyz]".

keep it relevant. like real life, it's a given that some context is going to be needed before any judgement can be made, but that context should only be relevant to the conflict being described. it should not be the entire plot of XYZ media.

not a hard rule but try to avoid naming names, we think it'll be more fun if we have to guess who it's about

you can write about ocs also

we reserve the right to delete anything graphic that makes us uncomfortable, or anything that's too vague (note: one sentence is definitely too vague)

we'll be using the same system as the blog tagged above, with the original acronyms from the subreddit as well as JAH, or justified asshole. this text is a link to a breakdown of the acronyms.

if you add an image please include an image description! learn about image descriptions here (text is a link)

before asking questions (through asks, comments, or reblogs), please check our FAQ. text is a link.

[clown-around-and-find-out]

court proceedings should just be formatted the same way as aita posts

[elliot-amy]

i think about this queen at least once a week

[random-shit-writing]

when im reading an r/AITA post and someone from the story finds the op's post and slides into the comment section to share previously undisclosed information that completely changes the AITA verdict

[nonsenseofyesteryear]

r/AmItheAsshole posts are just like:

AITA for trying to provide for my family?

I (42M) divorced my wife a few years ago, not long after we had our second child. I won't get into the details of how bad our marriage got towards the end, but the situation was unbearable. The house was a mess, I was lucky to get one home-cooked meal a week, and well, let's just say my needs in other areas weren't being met. A few months later, I was lucky enough to meet my new wife (23F). We had a real "fairytale wedding" and now we're looking to plan the rest of our life together. I couldn't be more excited. There's just one more piece we need to make it all work.

My ex-wife stands to inherit a sizeable amount of money from her father when he passes away. When we were still married, I had planned to use some of that money for retirement. But now that I'm starting over, it would be great to have to give my new wife and our future kids the life they deserve: a home, vacations, college, etc. I tried to bring this up during the divorce process but there was just no reasoning with my ex. So I left my ex-FIL a voicemail asking if he might put me in his will instead of my (frankly, awful) ex-wife. My reasoning was twofold:

While I might have been the one to file for divorce, the breakdown of the marriage was entirely my ex-wife's fault. I shouldn't have to give up on money I was planning for just because she was inadequate.

I have found a higher-quality wife who will, in turn, produce higher-quality children. Thus, my new family deserves this money WAY more than my old one. I told my ex-FIL that since his daughter turned out so nasty, this was his second chance to have a positive legacy.

I have not heard back from him as of yet. I mentioned this to some friends the other day and he told me that it was completely beyond the pale. But I honestly think it's completely reasonable and that if my ex-FIL is a reasonable man, there's a good chance that he'll honor my request. So, AITA?

[veys-mood-of-mentalbreakdown]

Aaaaalright i feel like this would probably be perfect for r/amitheasshole but i couldnt be bothered to put it on reddit. But I’ll formulate it like i would if i posted it there (EDIT: tried to post it to r/AITA but it wouldnt let me cuz its over 3000 characters)

Am i the asshole for wanting to tell a birthday party guest to not come anymore

This weekend March 11th 2023 the body will be 19 years old, to celebrate this we’re having our first actual birthday party with friends. We’ve invited 5 friends and all of them are coming some of them also sleep over as they come from far. Including the person id love to tell that they arent welcome anymore, we’ll call this person K.

As i said before this is the first time we ever thrown a party, so we are understandably stressed to get everything perfect. We don’t ask for help of the guest because we want to get it all ready ourselves (which as of now we have succeeded in and almost have everything ready).

K from day one started complaining about everything and anything. First it was about alcohol. About if we had vodka, and if we had different vodka than a certain brand because they only like that kind of stuff. Then it was about food, constantly making a problem about the snacks ans foods we were getting, i would share screenshots but i cant for privacy reasons so i’ll put it down as a list

- will there be enough food?

Yes there will be enough food

- will it be cold or warm, we only like to have warm food for dinner

We will make sure there will be cold and warm foods and foods you can eat both cold and warm

- yea but will there be enough

Yes there will be enough

- snacks dont sound like food to me

We call it snacks because we’re going to get tapas like dishes, meaning many different kinds of food

- will there be enough??

Yes K there will be enough

- i just dont have a right feeling about this

About what? The party or the food?

- the food at the party, i have a bad gut feeling about this

She then also started getting upset about the people we invited to our birthday party and the fact some of them are system’s like us (she is fully aware we are a system) saying that she thinks it’s going to be too much to handle, which i can get, i just don’t understand why she didnt tell us up front and said she wasnt going to come instead of getting angry at us for it.

She then said it would be a rollercoaster of emotions for her, and wanted to have a moment where she could just talk to our host privately about her emotional baggage at our host’s birthday party, and ofcourse like the good friend our host is, he agreed to play therapist because he’s afraid she’ll leave and bitch about him to others.

We made a playlist for music for the party, inviting everyone that will come to add music so theres a bit of everyone’s music tastes, we asked if everyone could add party vibe music and asked to not add music sorts that are triggering to us or others coming to the party (we specified what triggers us and asked everyone to specify if they have any music that can be negatively triggering)

Full knowing this, K asked us if she can add Reggae and added a few too, knowing full well that this is one of the things that is highly triggering to our host as one of the big ab*sers in our life only ever listened to that stuff, they got upset when we told them rather not and then our host said “okay but not too many, 1 or 2” to satisfy her, knowing it would most likely cause flashbacks of some sort. She then said “you know what its your party” and deleted it from thw playlist under the condition that she gets to have moments at the party where she can listen to her own music, which fine by us ig.

She then said she wasnt sure if she was going to come after all because of all the things she spoke about before that made her feel uncomfortable and feel it might be too much for her weren’t fixed. So we said alright.

Then she said she knew it would be too much for her and said she was going to come later.

I really want to tell her in a polite manner that she needs to fuck off and isnt welcome anymore at the party, she single handedly made the pressure and stress so high and blames us for it when we told her we were handling it and it was stressing us out.

After which she also said “im sorry, i feel like im too much in our business”

So are we (am i personally) the asshole for wanting to tell her she no longer is welcome?

oh wait is r/AITA down akdjfjfj the last post should have been one explaining why reddit is going down like AITA for making all subs private bc [insert reasons for the blackout]

[aita-scifi]

Welcome!

This blog was inspired by and functions exactly like am-i-the-asshole-official and oc-aita, except it's for scenarios from science fiction. Submit something that happened in the story to be judged by the court of tumblr! Each story will come with a poll, judgements are as follows:

YTA = You're the asshole NTA = Not the asshole (the other party is) JAH = Justified asshole (you're the asshole, but we get it) NAH = No assholes here ESH = Everyone sucks here INFO = Not enough information to judge

Read the FAQ before submitting

[underestimated-heroine]

Actually, I'll put it in simpler terms & take it a step further: my advice is to never, ever post your personal shit to r/AITA.

[myshruum]

Redditors will earnestly say shit like:

DogSniper_Throwaway: I (48M) (Alpha) shot my neighbor’s dog (pitbull probably) for shitting in my yard. My neighbor did pick up and bag the mutt’s shit and they were walking away when I stood my ground, but I told that entitled Karen to keep her dog out of my (non-native) grass. My wife (21F) (Bitch) thinks I overreacted. So Reddit, am I the Asshole?

FartGobbler88: Are you in a Castle Doctrine state? What are the bylaws of your HOA? Sounds like you were within your rights, sir. And, as we all know, the law dictates morality! NTA!!!

[oasisr]

Reddit also known as "fake story alley" and "rage-bait central"

[manicpixiemidgirl]

r/AmItheAsshole posts be like "AITA for running someone over with my car?" And it turns out that the person they ran over was trying to set their child on fire but then it's also like "AITA for getting my girlfriend flowers?" But it turns out that he got her flowers he knew she was severely allergic to but didn't care and she almost fucking died

[nonsenseofyesteryear]

r/AmItheAsshole posts are like:

AITA for helping my daughter pursue her dreams?

I (53F) have two daughters. My older daughter, "Margaret" (28F) who does....something with computers. I'm not really sure what. My younger daughter, "Allie", (24F), is a brilliantly talented singer and songwriter who really has the chance to make it big in the music industry someday.

Now Allie's chosen career path is obviously very competitive and it's difficult to get started. So unlike her sister, who chose to play it safe with an ordinary job to pay the bills, Allie is living with us while my husband and I financially support her. But she can only get so far living in our basement. She's realized that to take the next step in her career, she needs to move out to Los Angeles. Now, LA is expensive. And my husband and I are looking to retire soon, so we probably won't be able to help her out the way we've done up to this point.

Margaret and her husband are planning to buy a home soon. Ordinarily, I'd be supportive, but something more important has come up. So the other day I called Margaret and told her that she would have to put off buying a house, because we need the money to help her sister get started in California. Margaret's response was pretty shocking. She said that we weren't getting a dime from her, that if we wanted to keep supporting her "deadbeat sister", that was up to us but we should leave her out of it, and that Allie was never willing or able to actually put in the work to succeed as a musician and should probably get a "real job". I cried I was so hurt. It honestly breaks my heart to think of Allie in some soul-crushing 9-5 job, her aspirations unfulfilled and all her talent going to waste.

Me, my husband, and Allie had a long chat about the future after that call. We have all of Margaret's personal info so if worse comes to worse, we can always apply for an apartment out there and set up utilities in her name. But we hope it doesn't come to that. I'm thinking maybe we should have Allie talk to her? Perhaps send her some of Allie's latest demo recordings to show her that this will be a good investment?

EDIT: To everyone in the comments, NO I do NOT have a favorite child. I was a great mother to both my daughters. I just know that Allie has so much potential and I want to nurture it. If you had a truly exceptional child, you'd understand.

EDIT 2: My husband and I aren't helping Margaret and her husband pay for the house. Like I said, they played it safe so they're using their own money. But Allie shouldn't be punished just for having the courage to pursue her dreams.

EDIT 3: To everyone telling me it would be a crime to apply for an apartment in Margaret's name, how exactly? She's MY child. I have a hard time believing a judge/jury whatever wouldn't understand given the circumstances.

honestly this guy really thought he was onto something....
