Do you remember a narcissistic Jane story?

Do you remember a Jane with traces of n-personality disorder?

I checked new-ish stories on amazon, noticed this variation, thought "similar to <Dear Sweet Girl> by Tiffany Thomas, must try it" and forgot to add a bookmark. And as usual I can't find it. I know it wasn't Tiffany Thomas because I had read it online before it was removed for publication and didn't check on amazon. It is a great story but as I had read it, there is no need to re-read it.

It was in new-ish books last year after summer holidays or earlier this year. I've tried to find it by asking for P&P variations by publication date and going back. It is too much and after 10 pages all books start to look the same.

It's difficult to tell from a summary but I had an impression that Jane wasn't a full n- but more a person with some mild or milder traces.

Is there anything that could fit the bill? Anything vaguely familiar? I'm not sure it fits the "bad Jane" category in the index and there isn't another option to look for n-Jane. Is there any alternative to check?

Oh, notice - this isn't a book I had in bookmarks and chrome update removed it. This time it's completely on me. And it's NOT progress.

Could you translate something regarding a fountain pen ink?

Good evening. I'm Polish and don't speak Hungarian.

I've tried google translate and it's not going well.

Could you translate something for me so I print it and show so a certain Hungarian understands what I want from him?

It is about a fountain pen ink. I'm not using it as a company but as a private person trying to communicate better with a seller on a pen show. I hope it's not against rules here.

Something like this:

"Good morning, Sir. My name is [here goes my name]. Last year via instagram I contacted you for re-issue of your ink [name of the ink] and proposed that you put a post-it-note with my name on 1 bottle so I can pick it up on Pen Show Poland, which you accepted. Is the ink still available? If so I'd like to buy it. If not I'd like to buy another ink. I have already 2 other inks [names of inks] and they are very good and pretty. I'm sorry but I don't speak Hungarian and this text was translated for me by nice people who know your language. I apologize for inconvenience."

Is it acceptable and not rude after translating? Should I change something so it is more polite? Is it possible to translate? Is it clear? So that he knows what I'm babbling about? Or it is completely off and I need another text?

Thank you for your time.

Does it count as fanfiction?

I guess not so much.

I left it in tkmaxx but will go back tomorrow. If it's still there, well...

Fujiyama, Japan, 1000, Ravensburger, 2001, my aunt did them

Old, 2001, found in a second hand store. Again my aunt did them. No pieces lost and in very good quality in general and for its age. She says it took her 3-4 days, including 1 just for sky. I think it's because many parts of the city are similar, not that this pattern is difficult. I like them. It's another one I'll try in summer.

Could you remind me the title 10th time? A combination of bad Bingleys and a bad chrome update.

I think you reminded me the title like 6-8 times, I added it to bookmarks and today it's again gone. I really don't know why the last update of chrome killed my bookmarks.

William Collins and Kitty marry, William lives with Bennets starting as a kid and is their almost-brother. Bingleys are very bad, Charles wants Georgiana's dowry, Caro wants Pemberley and attached bank account. Hurst breaks with Bingleys and doesn't like Mrs. Hurst when she shows she fully supports her family's conspiracies. Mr. Darcy learns very late who Bingleys are. Many, many lies including "Jane tried a compromise because she wanted Charlie's money" and "Billy Collins married Eliza when she couldn't have Pemberley and alllll the money".

It'll go to my bookmarks, again, but this time for opera and firefox, too - just in case.

I need a walkthrough what to say when my mom is a mean girl after a d3ath

I must learn what to say when my mom behaves like the ultimate mean girl when someone di.es.

A good friend of my aunt had a routine procedure in hospital last week and she promised to call my aunt "after" because due to her age (84) doctors weren't sure if they would keep her in hospital for 1 or 3 days. She didn't call so my aunt waited. Because it could take longer. And waited. And Mrs B. didn't call during the weekend so today my aunt called her, because surely she should know by now when she goes home. Only her son told my aunt there were complications and she died. My aunt cried and didn't even ask if she woke up or not. Her funeral is on Wednesday.

My aunt told me, because I also knew Mrs B. So I went home earlier than by default and sent a text to my mom "Mrs B. died, please don't call aunt screaming as you do all the time, this isn't the time". My mom called me screaming, calling names, using swear words. It wasn't my text but something else. She called my aunt/her sister, who cried and ended the call. How dares she and so on and on and besides I'm a wh0re because I caused this disrespect and it's good that that old hag died, she was already 84 so why should she live longer. I told her she was f....ing mean and ended the conversation.

Then I went home, checked food, went to my aunt, ignored some 10 calls of my mom, deleted her messages, went to a shop to buy cookies that my aunt likes (no food for her, she says she can't eat now), ate fast food, a small set in kfc, because I wasn't sure I would stay with my aunt, take her to hospital, cook or whatever. It took me 40-45 minutes with walking to/from shopping mall, actual shopping, eating. Like the quickest trip possible. My aunt took cookies for later, I stayed for a while, then she sent me home, because she wanted to cry but couldn't when I was around. From home I called my aunt just in case, then yet again my mom called.

More unhinged screaming, more swear words, more wh0res for me. Because I ignored her all day long, I dared ending her earlier call, I went to my aunt when my duty was run to my parents to check on my mom and I don't know what else. I couldn't listen to this, called her insane, then she got insulted and ended the conversation.

I know I shouldn't call her names - I mean call back but it really isn't the time to make everything about her.

Tomorrow she will call again and again and at the moment I don't know it she will rugsweep or be more and more offended.

What do I say in order to NOT escalate? If I escalate, my mom will pester my aunt and this isn't the time she should do it. Just tell me some frazes or whatever fits this situation. Please, the situation is bad, I can't make ot 1000% worse.

Ancestor in which episode(s) of the new series?

The new Moomin series, not the old Polish, not the old Japanese, was on a Polish tv channel, dubbed. I missed a large part of an episode being late from a shop. Saw maybe last 5 minutes. It had Ancestor in it. In which episode(s) does he appear? I tried checking the official homepage of that channel but they had copy-paste the same text for all episodes which didn't help.

Looking for a time travelling Rey who joins Jedi and forms a relationship with Maul

I can't find a story from years back. Worse, I had it on notifications on fanfiction dot net and when I couldn't find it, I went through all my fav and followed authors and stories and it's not there. So it is possible that the Author removed it or all stories from fanfiction. There is a chance that the same story is still in other places but without remembering its title and/or Author it doesn't work.

What I remember is misty.

Rey goes back in time to before or around Naboo invasion not by using time machine but by the Force's intervention and in whole, that is her as a person and not as transplanted mind in another body. Jedi notice the disturbance and investigate. They accept her with extreme caution. Then somehow she says she is a grandkid of a corrupt senator Palpatine and journalists publish it everywhere. The not-to-be Emperor has no idea what's going on and insists he doesn't know her, so it is before he ordered his clone/her father. But his whole life explodes as journalists and Jedi investigate and his many crimes appear in news. Then Rey meets Maul who at this point isn't yet a die-hard Sith and first they go to bad parts of the planet to fight against bad guys and then start a romantic relationship. Jedi aren't happy because he is still dark but can't stop 2 adults. She has some interactions with Obi-Wan but not with Anakin? I don't remember if she becomes a full Jedi or a part-time Jedi associate.

Anything similar to my missing story?

It's possible that I know a person who believes he's entitled to bullying me, should I avoid the whole group?

I mostly need another perspective, I think.

A group of around 12 adults who know each other and meet once or twice every year. We exchange text messages but calls are very rare. We go way back before covid. Adult jobs, families, so no meetings every week, because busy schedules. Around September 2024 a person got slightly closer than before - to the whole group. You know the type. Tells jokes, takes part in every conversation, if there are options to go to a restaurant or a museum, he pushes others to do what suits him. The trouble is some of his jokes are only about adult relationships. And I never talk s3x, politics and religion with this group. Mostly because even in Europe such causes serious troubles. Familes quarrel, relationships get damaged, people insult each others. It's better here than in the USA but still it's not a good idea.

Around March 2025 he decided that my views mean I am prude. Someone said "no, she's not, she just doesn't talk this, because we all have relatives who don't know us after discussing politics" It should be enough but it wasn't. More jokes, more telling me and others that I should loosen up and joke once in a while, no quarrels on my part. I skipped a meeting because this becomes less and less like the group I was a part of and turns into a stage for his performance with him telling us what we think. This Monday we sat together and he had a paper bag, which he pushed at me as a gift. Inside was a [artificial organ that actors use in adult movies, new in a box] which from my POV was disgusting. I refused, the whole group called me prude, spoilsport and similar. Also there is no need to behave like a preschooler, because we are adults. Some faces weren't happy and they almost went with it in order to not become another victim, but all went with it. Not 1 person decided enough was enough.

Actually I didn't escalate. They (as a group) pushed the bag at me again, I took it to the nearest trash and left it there, then went home. No crying, no calling them names, just "ok, bye" and that's it. I got some calls and messages which I deleted. It could be them blaming me, or doing some type of apology. At this point I don't care.

I don't want to meet this person. But should I also avoid the whole group? I'm too old for this type of mean-kids-in-high-school games all bullying one person so the group doesn't attack another. There is no professional interaction, no work-relationships at all. I can just leave all of them and block phones and emails. None of them is a very, very, very distant relative who will spread gossip to my family.

Should I block all of them or should I meet them one more time and see what was their reasons to gang on me? I'm almost sure there is no point, but for 8-10 years of acquaintance, maybe one final conversation is fair?

▲ 62 r/Moomins

I was near the official Moomin Shop Poland and he was there. Around 6 weeks ago he wasn't available yet so it's a new version at least here. Unfortunately tomorrow a long weekend (1st-3rd May) starts and I had to buy additional perishable items as shops aren't working on both holidays and I can't afford extra Moomins at the moment.

Look at his tail, so fluffy!

On the second photo showing his front he looks like people who must get up extremely early but prefer to sleep longer!

I think he's from vibo or vipo???

Do you remember a short story online with a drunk Jane?

I've tried but "drunk" search gives way too many results with different drunk characters, not only her.

She visits Gardiners when Bingleys run off to London. Gardiners want to cheer her up, take her to some lady who loves parties and a very strong punch, so Jane drinks too much as she knows only the Meryton weak version. Then they all go to theatre and collide with Bingleys and maybe his next angel. Jane tells them what honest people think about such low born low lifes and some lord notices her, they marry around 1 month later. Jane swears off strong drinks as she can't deal with them.

I think this is [mostly] the whole story without twists I don't remember. Anything similar?
