Ghost @kuharido I don't have any currently but something might come up.
Ghost @kuharido I have to look up if Dragon is a good year for snakes
yuuzora @yuuzora It is! I am a snake, too! <3
Ghost @kuharido That's good. Dragons and snakes would be friends I imagine
yuuzora @yuuzora My bestie is a Dragon. :D We've been friends since 2004
Ghost @kuharido my Western zodiac is Virgo. That's really cool you and your besties zodiac signs get along aswell.
yuuzora @yuuzora Mine is Aries, hers is Aquarius. She's pretty stereotypical for her western zodiac. What about your bestie? How similar/complimentary are you?
Ghost @kuharido I'm not sure about their zodiac signs most of my friends are not really into that stuff ^^;
yuuzora @yuuzora I see. lol. My sisters aren't either. But my bestie really into it. But you can at least say you have friends, so that's something.

Ah I see. Yeah. I see what you're saying. Because even the nicest person can be trash underneath. Like make them fill out their taxes on dial-up and see what they're made of. Though seriously, building a relationship takes degrees of familiarity and getting that right away is in most cases unreasonable.
Even if a person is brutally honest, they might also not be keen on talking about themselves. There's also the people who hit too many corners of the dark triad... they basically ruin trust for everyone else. I do wonder if they can be made aware of their behavior, but chances are that it just makes them a better manipulator.

Yeah, but realistically. Never put any hope onto love at first sight. You ever play a game and farming for a rare item and it takes you hours on hours? It's like that but hours = years. I do take great pride in my luck, in understanding of its worth.
yuuzora @yuuzora
yuuzora @yuuzora
Your opinion is still valid. If anything I think people listen more because you're a guy. And that is a good point. To be fair, I'm basically ace, so the thought of immediate attraction is a very foreign concept to me.

Just a side note, people are WAY less likely to listen to my advice, probably because I'm not a girl, but so be it. Right. Now, I'm just gonna clear the air right quick. Have to disagree to the first statement, because every once in awhile... Love at first sight happens and works out. Like with me. Gives me the bragging rights, don't you think? But... for the love of god, please don't chase that fantasy. It's not worth betting on. It all comes down to luck. Now, luck and fate are often confused with one another, but let me assure you that luck is a perfectly valid reason for fate to play. Anyways. Dum-dum's advice works with more than just relationships. Think. How often do we me make mistakes because we neglected preparation? Even unknowingly to us. Trust me, I'm a huge procrastinator. I know how much it sucks. Always take advice for more than it's worth. You can find so much more meaning if you just take an extra few moments to think, even if you already know what you want.

E, it'll just depend. What timezone are you in? I'm in PMT though I basically operate in two timezones because of my work. You read my about? It's mostly a disclaimer, but it's straightforward so you know what you're getting into.

https://media1.tenor.com/m/wJbcatwT09EAAAAC/coloring-draw.gif
3. Do you read in several languages?

4. Would you rather be a haunted potato field or a haunted peach tree?
That's a bit of a hard question but probably a peach tree so I could be a peach tree in the Mediterranean. Although I am used to forests and urban areas so potato field would probably be more familiar.

5. Have you ever been stabbed?
I stabbed myself with staples by accident. Does that count? Hurt a bunch cause it was on the fingertips

Edit:
I should add that thanks to Google translate I have been able to read articles or find PDFs in other languages like Russian, Chinese, Japanese, etc. of stuff I am interested in.

I want to run a bit of an experiment... to try that 'six degrees of contact' to find someone very specific... I am unsure it will yield results. But I'm willing to give it a go. Message me if you're curious about it.

Message me if you need help, too. I've dealt with stalkers as well. <3

Mommy’s Random Thoughts
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying
(5:51 PM Wed.) I don't know if I have a stalker online? It's nothing creepy or too bad really, I'm just curious on if it's a complete freak accident that this person and I get the same video on our feed? Or if this person is managing to find every comment section I'm in and liking my posts? XD I'm honestly leaning towards we manage to watch the same exact stuff, which is actually really cool to me!
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Thank you lots, Yuu-chan. I'll definitely message you as well if I need some help <3
yuuzora @yuuzora Here for you. <3
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Same for you as well, Yuu-chan. I don't know if I could ever truly be as much help, but I am here if you need someone to just simply listen ^^

By delusions, I mean certain disorders like schizophrenia or DiD/MPD. They're heavily stigmatized and deeply misunderstood, but not everyone can handle that level of illness.

20 Questions
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying
1. That they are a famous person and hold concerts every night from 7 pm to 12 am. That's my way of saying I'm not sure, my constant friends have been my family and I've never had a boyfriend, but in the end when push comes to shove I don't tolerate certain things. I can be patient, very much so, but if you are starting to become toxic or such I can't do any more than what I've tried to be patient on you with or for
2. No I haven't had to
3. Physically, not to save my life. But I'm pretty good at handling situations at the end of the day I'd like to think, deescalate something before it even starts lol
4. Yes, I suppose when it's some specific? (But still don't read as often as I maybe should?) Like the Bible, biographies (especially depending on what the person's life was like) and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (that was actually really enjoyable to read lol)
5. Yes, I think I am. I actually can think a bit too much so sometimes I create multiple scenarios for something, whether it's an issue or not
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I know you meant that, but I am not sure I can properly answer as I don't know anyone with severe issues like that. I didn't feel comfortable with answering anything specific as I don't truly know and can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to be around mental disorders like that, you know?
yuuzora @yuuzora Yeah, I had to think about it. I guess it isn't common for people to work with mental illnesses like that. I'm just used to it as a volunteer at VOCA and a suicide prevention program. I do that a lot. x.x
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I actually do take an interest in learning about severe mental disorders like that, I remember watching a whole documentary about DID/MPD when I was a kid XD. I do think it'd be interesting to meet a mental health patient like that, but I'd be too worried I'd slip up or something, I would at least want to try once being around someone like that to see if I could handle it well. I guess my logic is I don't know unless I don't give it a shot, but once again I think I'd be sooooo nervous to slip up. And that's kind of you to work in places like that, I can't imagine it's easy on the mind all the time
yuuzora @yuuzora Unless a person with schizophrenia has severe untreated symptoms, they're pretty normal. You could probably have talked to someone with both those disorders and not know it. *cough cough cough* Anyway, it is good to know you are an understanding person who likes to expand your range of knowledge to become more empathic. <3
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Yeah, I remember watching a video about a guy who had it, schizophrenia seems so scary to have especially the heavy paranoia aspect of it. But-and not glorifying the illness-the man seemed endearing and sweet despite it all, and I know people just need patience in the end. Of course having an issue doesn't truly excuse any harm done by them, but it is a reason and ultimately people just need some tender love and care...at least to me XD, not many people would agree nowadays I'm sure <3
yuuzora @yuuzora That you would be one of the few is the sad part. For the most part, people with Schizophrenia and other such disorders are no harm to anyone, except maybe to themselves. The likeliness anyone with Schizophrenia or DiD will commit a violent crime is like 10%. That's 10% of the total in history that we know about. When it's managed well with medication and therapies, they're just normal people. No thanks to movies and TV, they're demonized to the point where some of them won't even tell their families or friends. Which is why the rates of homeless with such disorders are tragically high. I have talked down many, many men from ledges who simply did not want to be a danger to anyone anymore. When they hear you see them as human and completely understand their fear, it's like a light goes on in their heads. It makes it easy at that point to get them to come down and get help.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying That's so sad :(. Another issue is is that people have different experiences with different people (the different experiences isn't the issue XD), but it seems like when a person or group of people have a bad experience with one person...sadly people tend to write off that bad experience as a whole for the person with said mental issue. People need to just truly try to understand the person and if they feel like they still can't tolerate or handle being around someone with an issue like that, I'd rather have them admit it politely and move on. Cause not everyone is meant to take care of people with severe mental or physical illnesses, you know? It's like how my grandma (who has dementia) is living with my family now cause our aunt isn't someone who is personally capable of handling that illness
yuuzora @yuuzora Exactly. Sometimes the most compassionate thing a person can do is recognize they cannot care for someone and step down to allow someone else help them. That's what respite care is all about.
As a collective, humans have completely forgotten empathy. In order to survive this extinction event, we'll need to remember.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I'm so glad someone else agrees. My sisters and I have been recently talking about how sometimes a person that can admit they can't do something sounds more wise or mature than someone who just tries to do something to do it. I can get if someone admitted they wanted to try taking care of someone, a job, etc. once to see if they could handle it, but people need to realize there is absolutely no shame in admitting you can't take care of certain people. Especially since not every person is doing it out of malicious intent, it's just something they personally can't handle and that's okay...but I guess another issue is how we live in a society that can and does shame people for not being able to do something. And God forbid it is something having to do with mental/physical illness or disabilities, they'll cry every person is an ableist lol
yuuzora @yuuzora Exactly. You can still love and care for that person, but admit you're in over your head. It isn't abandoning them, it's asking for help. Which is why nursing homes exist. When someone needs professional help, and you're not a professional. It doesn't mean you stop visiting, sending cards, calling, etc. There's many ways to show you care and knowing your limits is required for that to work out. The most often people who cry out something is ableist often don't really sit and listen to the people with the disorder.
While there were a lot of naysayers for Moon Knight, I actually almost cried because it was the first time in film history that DiD/MPD and Schizophrenia wasn't portrayed as evil, crazy killer. Sad, but true.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I loved Moon Knight! Marc is so endearing and just a confused, scared, nervous little baby bean UwU. I think another issue is that sadly so many people are used to something being portrayed as offensive that-as you said-they tend to not listen and just automatically assume it's going to be offensive and rude towards the disabled and mentally ill. Of course I'm not saying people still get it right, sadly there still is a huge issue with people writing disorders and illnesses like it's glamorous and cute when it's not, those people tend to really struggle or suffer in day to day life. But sometimes all parties need to just relax and listen, especially if someone says something wrong or incorrect about a disorder or illness you are calm enough to correct them on it. And then if they keep insisting on said rude things...then you get mad XD
yuuzora @yuuzora Lol. Seriously. The man who played the character actually sat down with people who have DiD and took notes. So he did an amazing job. Anyone who was complaining was just trying to do that 'advocating' thing but they didn't bother to ask people with DiD if they needed anyone to say something.
And more so with younger girls, they like the 'mystery' but don't realize how painful and isolating it is. I managed to get myself half-cancelled on a quiz site where I was an editor because I called some people out for it. It was a real shit show dealing with young people who don't have thought out arguments. Though most of the time those are the bullies who are just bored and want an excuse to hurt someone. >_>
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Oh gosh! I hate when people do that weird advocating for someone when it's 1. Not even needed and 2. They don't even know how that group of people really feel XD. It's the same with people that try and cry "cultural appropriation" anytime someone just simply wears a traditional garb of some place, then the people complaining about that don't even realize the actual Natives of that place are just happy someone is wearing their stuff and keeping their culture alive lol. And that's so cool how the actor for Marc in MK actually took time to learn from them, when people go so far as to understand what they are writing about or acting, it makes the movie/show even better. Also, sorry you had to deal with immature young people XD, that must've been frustrating
yuuzora @yuuzora I'm a volunteer counselor, so I'm mostly used to it. But there are the brats who have a tantrum over things like the wearing of kimono by "non japanese" people. Which is why I advise people to point to part of the garment and ask them ,"Oh? You know so much about this kimono? What kind of kimono is it? Can you tell me? No? You can't? Then shut. your. cake. hole"
Usually they shut it, but sometimes they look through your *entire* comment history(because they have nothing better to do) to find anything mildly problematic so they can 'cancel' you. Kids these days really need better hobbies.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying They really do need better hobbies, I agree XD. It's also stupid of them because some reason we live in a culture and time where it's popular to try and destroy people, it's like if that person trying to cancel you themselves isn't popular or well off in life, they don't want anyone else to be either XD
yuuzora @yuuzora Basically. Those ones can't usually be helped except by beating their ass. There are genuinely good kiddos out there, though. They just need more opportunity and a glimpse of hope that their future is as bright as they're willing to polish it to be.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Yeah, as we've stated before it's about being patient and willing to help people learn. That's sometimes why people never truly learning or receiving help, because somebody got too impatient with them and just immediately wrote them off as a lost cause or bad and that was it, they didn't take time to correct and discipline out of love. They just gave up on people smh
