Pipsqueak 2 and the yap version are identical and neither of them work properly. they speak for my character more often than they do for the bit they’re supposed to be. the grammar and phrasing is terrible. everything reads as if ChatGPT wrote it. why intentionally move away from the only engine that worked as intended? are devs intentionally trying to sink the company more than it already is?

the new engine sucks ass

Basically I (18nb) have been seeing this girl (19F) that I met at a party. She’s really easy to talk to, and she seemed genuinely interested in my life, so I wound up telling her about my siblings on our third date. I mentioned that my younger brother is autistic, and she cut me off to call him a tard. I immediately stood up, told her this wasn’t going to work, and left.

now she’s blowing up my phone telling me it was supposed to be a joke and she didn’t do anything wrong. honestly it’s such a turnoff when people will joke about and jokingly use slurs like that, and I will never let anyone close to me insult my siblings like that.

Should I respond and hear her out, or is it okay if I block her?

No dialogue, repeating the exact words that I typed instead of furthering the conversation, repeating words & numbers, random gibberish, starting new scenes or conversations out of nowhere, ignoring what I say, etc etc etc…

I’ve watched the entire web series, all the specials, and read most of the books. We’re all aware that in-universe, a Royal is a person who aligns with their predetermined destiny and a rebel is someone who doesn’t.

My question is about whether or not Darling is a Royal or a Rebel?

I assumed when she became the white knight and started denying princess social norms, she was a Rebel, but with her being Apple’s True Love’s Kiss in Dragon Games, her being the white knight would align with the Prince Charming archetype, and technically make her follow her magically predetermined destiny and make her a technical Royal.

Daring and Apple are both Royals, even though they wrongly assumed Daring was Apple’s True Love’s Kiss. Daring still followed his magically predetermined destiny by being turned into a beast in Epic Winter and having Rosabella teach him selflessness, and Apple followed hers by being poisoned and woken up by True Love’s Kiss.

But they would also be following socially predetermined destinies by being a Prince Charming and a damsel-in-distress respectively.

Darling does not follow social/societal determined norms by being a princess & being Wonderland’s white knight, but she follows the magically determined destiny by being the white knight and being Apple’s True Love’s Kiss.

so is Darling a royal or a rebel? is being a royal or a rebel determined by following magically determined destinies, or by following societal norms?

a few weeks ago, my dad decided to sit me (18) down at his house— I live with my mom in another city, so I don’t see him often— and go online to read me the entire list of courses offered at a college he really wants me to go to.

I already told him multiple times that I am not going to college immediately out of high school, but I try to understand that he wants me to keep my options open. I am not interested in any of the courses offered at the college my dad likes, and I’ve already talked to my school councilor and decided that in a year I’ll apply to a trade school for a cyber security course.

i informed my dad as soon as I decided this with my councilor and made sure I qualified for a scholarship. My dad seemed satisfied that I’d chosen something, but he continues to push this college on me.

Anyways, while my dad was listing every course available at the college he likes, he decided to read me more about an aviation course for commercial flights. he decided that he was going to take me to orientation for this year to ask about the course. I tried to tell him I was not interested right then, but he did not listen to a word I said.

On top of being completely uninterested in working with commercial planes, I have a really bad phobia of heights that he is aware of. It is so bad that I skipped a family vacation because we would have had to fly there, so I don’t know why he decided to hyperfocus on flying specifically.

Today he reminded me of the orientation, and I again told him that I really didn’t want to look into this at all. I told him that he really just jumped into this without actually talking to me, and he immediately asked me why I was getting upset. I didn’t think I was acting upset, but I still told him it was because he never listens to a word I say.

He got defensive and told me to apply to the college anyways. I said I wouldn’t, and I want to spend this year working and saving money while I live with my mom. He said I won’t make enough money, and I need to apply for college.

I told him clearly that I don’t want to go to that college, and I left his house. I cried while I was driving home and I talked to my sister about it. She assured me that I didn’t do anything wrong, but I feel like garbage.

talking to my dad always makes me feel like I’m losing my mind. He’ll deny conversations happened, or tell me we had conversations that I don’t remember at all. He would go through my room while I was at school and either deny it or leave all my things in garbage bags for me to find when I got home. He‘s read my diary numerous times and threatened to go to my school to confront a girl I wrote about having a crush on when I was thirteen. He tells his entire family my personal and medical problems without my permission or knowledge. He accused my mom of domestic violence (us kids were there and she did not strike him at all) and then convinced me and my sister that our mom didn’t want to see us anymore.

I moved out of his house last fall because living with him was making me feel like I was literally going crazy.

im tired of him deciding things for me, but I have to acknowledge that he probably wants what’s best for me, and is trying to make sure I am taken care of. Should I apologize to my dad for being rude? should I just suck it up and apply to the college he wants me to go to?
