Edit: I really appreciate all the responses here, it’s given me a lot more to reflect on. I think the bottom line in this situation is: in a relationship where my partner constantly stresses non-hierarchy and keeping things quite equal between me and meta (despite the obvious built in hierarchy) to make sure that nobody comes off as more important or as the primary partner (which actually annoys me to a point sometimes) it was very jarring for me, already feeling overwhelmed based on other creeping feelings mentioned in this post and the responses, to walk in on a suddenly very UNbalalnced display of their affection that also happened to be very close to my heart. One aspect I did not go into too much is that there is a sense since day 1 that Meta is always pushing for my partner to balance scales - what I have she too must get (based on things both my partner and she has said to me herself I get this picture) - so this just felt hypocritical. It felt very pointed at me for him to go against his own philosophy and put up so many pictures of Meta and his adventures (after previously taking ours down!) without thinking of also doing the same for me, or at least giving me any warning. For someone who stresses equality so much since becoming a Hinge, it was sending a message, intentional or not. My request to keep my photos down AFTER the discussion w/ Butter is fair to protect my heart but points to work that needs doing. Besides that, feelings of uncertainty and fear around the trajectory of Butter and Cream’s relationship are contributing factors to my distress. Thank you for all the wisdom, I am going to be reflecting more and having some chats with partner around the topic and implications. Also not sure why but my first point detailing who is who and what kind of relationships we have keeps getting auto? deleted. No idea what that is about… — I wanted to reach for some support around a topic that seems small but has been making some waves with me recently. This is half-vent just to get it out, half open request for insight. Would love if anyone can empathize and offer a wisened view on matters of this nature, specifically or more broadly and perhaps some words of encouragement. Facts: My partner of 4 years, Butter, and I are long distance, I make it to his place for a visit only once every 1.5-2 months, though he visits my city a little more frequently. Butter has been with my Meta Cream for 2 years, they live in the same city but don’t nest. Cream and I are parallel. Everyone is seriously involved and we aim to be non-hierarchical, despite the different nature of the relationships. For context: since Cream came into the picture, I slowly adjusted to the new experience of having Butter’s home change and fill with her things and influences every time I come back. After all, she is his local partner so she spends far more time there. Because I’m pretty new to this, sometimes it was hard feeling - like Cream was taking over this space and there wasn’t as much room for me as there was in the past. I felt intimidated and jealous of her presence in his day to day life, which I have been dealing with. Butter and I travel a lot, and he introduced me to analogue photography early on, suggesting we start to take photos on our adventures and have them developed, creating collections and sometimes displaying those photos around our homes. Recently Butter also got me a cool vintage camera for this. At one point months back Butter took down several of these photos of us he had displayed near his bed. He alluded to how it was awkward for he and meta to see my face while having sex, but he didn’t move them elsewhere, just put them away. That felt raw at the time, but I understood. Since then over time a few random photos appeared of Cream in the space, but between she and I there was were only a couple per each left up. Cut to past weekend - I visited Butter for the first time in a while, longer away than we normally go. Entering the space this time was very jarring for me. Partly because he and Cream had done a fair bit of redecorating and it felt different, but what caused the real drama in me was the explosion of analogue pictures. I learned in this moment that on their most recent trips they had started up the same tradition that Butter and I share. This was evidenced by the expanded collection of recently developed pictures affixed throughout the space, everywhere I looked. Because Cream and I are parallel, I don’t see much from their private moments / relationship. I tend to avoid her social media and generally my partner doesn’t share on his these days. When I do see something, sometimes I have a little panic moment, deal with it on my own time, and move on. But seeing all of this in my partners place after a long hiatus of being there / feeling alien & vulnerable there as it was — it threw me over a poly cliff. I suddenly felt very competitive, felt like there was a point being made, by Butter and Cream. There were the same couple photos of me / our life there had been, but hers were suddenly everywhere. As the LDR partner, who already has less of a presence in his home, this felt like confirmation that this is her place, I am only a visitor in their life and don’t belong enough to have my pictures up - a feeling I have struggled with before. I thought back to Butter taking mine down and suddenly felt awful. Learning that they were sharing this activity was also not easy to swallow, though understandable, because for me it was unique even though for Butter it’s nothing new. All of this culminated in some deep feelings and emotional outbursts, the main one being that I took down the few remaining pictures of MYself, which hurt and confused Butter. After apologizing for this and talking a bit with Butter I asked him to leave the photos down and leave our analogue pictures off of display for a while. We agreed it is ultimately his house and he can do what he wishes, but this request was the one I felt comfortable with making, given it’s me in the pictures. He was resistant at first but did agree. Why did I make this request? I admit it feels ironic, antithetical, that me feeling overwhelmed by meta’s presence led to a request to further minimize my own— but honestly it felt like the only thing I could ask for to mitigate some of the discomfort of having this very unsubtle visual comparison of mine and my meta’s relationships. It feels safer to me knowing that I made the request to not have our pictures up instead of being hit with this bomb every few months of overthinking - wondering what it means how my partner decorates, what it says based on how many pictures, the content, what meta is thinking about it etc etc. All of that overthinking I was doing and the hurt I was feeling largely went away when I assimilated to the idea I wouldn’t have to deal with making those comparisons next time I come back, nor could anyone else who might try - like whatever competitive feelings were rising, I’d shut down the game entirely and walked away. Tangentially, I’m also not feeling very excited about doing this activity with Butter anymore right now, because as I’m sure you can see, I struggle with feeling special inside polyamory. With Cream, based on a few things that have happened, I have this nagging feeling that the best parts of my relationship are on a menu for them to sample. That feeling does really get to me. To complete the metaphor, am I the kind of person who gets annoyed when someone orders the same as me at dinner? Or buys the same shoes? Yes, ridiculous as that may seem. And I fully acknowledge that’s a me problem. That said, taking and developing pictures is not exactly a unique activity, I know. It just happens that I hadn’t done it with anyone before Butter, and I took pleasure and romance in feeling like it was a ritual that belonged to us. Not to mention because we see less of each other it felt comforting to me at one point to have this visual signifier of our relationship on display to balance the fact we are not seeing one another day to day in our homes. Butter kind of squashed that when he took down the photos before, and made sure I had only as many up as meta, usually right next to each other- EQUAL PROOF OF BOTH GIRLFRIENDS and the AFFECTION FOR THEM. I guess recent events were partly triggering bc seeing how many more photos he had of their stuff now felt like a visual confirmation of how much more they’re actually together, the exact thing my pics used to comfort me about. Finally, for clarity - I know my partner is not trying to send a message with his decorating choices. I am an overthinker. He is not. So all of this hardly occurs to him, he isn’t always able to predict how small things might hit. He was very understanding in appeasing me with the temporary removal of our pictures. In their place I offered that he could display my drawings, or small gifts I’ve made, things that still feel unique, are more subtle, and don’t generate the same competitive feelings (until I’ve processed all this). I guess I’m ready to hear if that is unreasonable of me. I feel like this sub might roast me for all this, but please be kind. I mean it when I say the change helped, and I’m analyzing what that means and how to go forward. I know my partner is rethinking some things, maybe a warning for me before visually processing all the changes at his place upon arrival - and he certainly doesn’t want to keep pictures of me away forever. Anyways, if you’ve made it to the end thanks for reading and I appreciate any feedback, comfort, commiseration, and gentle criticism ❤️ submitted by /u/GuaranteeWeekly3245 to r/polyamory [link] [comments]

For the past year, I have been redecorating/re-designing my home. It is the home my kids grew up in, the home my late wife decorated over the forty years that we were married. Now all the plumbing, electrical, painting, and new furniture are done, and it's time to hang paintings and pictures and put things away. My interior designer is trying to steer me away from putting out too much family memorabilia. To be fair, my wife did have more than a ton of family pictures all over the house, and I want to rein that in to a point. A lot of the art that was hung came from years of vacations and tasteful, expensive pieces, which she now says don't fit the new design. The family pictures on the walls were more than just kids in a line saying cheese; they were mountain-top pics of the first time they summited, scenic ski pics, cute beach pics, etc. I have also hired an artist to paint a portrait of my late wife, done in a more impressionist style, which I intended to hang over the fireplace in my great room. My interior designer does not think that is a good idea either; she thinks I should hang the picture in the study or a second bedroom. She knows I am dating and has said too much family stuff, and particularly a portrait of my late wife hung over the fireplace would be off-putting to my dates. I however want to make my home comforting to me and my kids, who are adults, but come home at least once a month. How uncomfortable would you feel about the decorations that I have described? She also wants me not to put anything on my refrigerator. My wife had every square inch covered in pictures, cards, and mementos. submitted by /u/DazedNH to r/datingoverfifty [link] [comments]

My bf of 2.5yrs just closed on a house and moved in this week. The plan is for me to move in, in 1-2 months or so. As i currently own a home and the idea is that we would live in his, raise kids there, and we sell my home after we get married. However the other day he told me he wants to go shopping with his mother so they can decorate the home together. Without me. I asked him "does your mother realize she's taking away my role in things?" And he told me to "stop being weird". There have been other issues in the past. When he turned 30, I took off work for his birthday and made dinner reservations at our favorite restaurant. I asked him if he wanted me to plan or coordinate anything larger with friends/family and he said no. His brother found out about my plans and told me their mom was planning something big that evening too. I had received 0 details about this, but I was forced to cancel my reservation. So my bf could go to his family's event. Basically dinner with his mom, immediate family, and his best friend. Then extended family over at his moms house after. Again I received 0 details so i assumed I wasn't invited. My bf called me around the time it started, asking where I was. I told him i was at home, since he chose to spend his bday without me. Then he told me it was invited, which was quite untrue as I was given 0 details, other than the date this was taking place. There is a constant pattern of him choosing his family over me, to the point where he will cancel plans or disappoint me. Because he would rather disappoint me or be unreliable for me, than disappoint his family. So, AITAH for insinuating he has mommy problems? UPDATE: We just went decor shopping today and he is keeping me a part of the process, not his mom submitted by /u/Skylarias to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

So yeah, good opportunity to save and live the good life! Still in need of lots of stuff, plants and decor most of all, and a good rug. And I desperately need a new desk but this was already here and I can't get rid of it for now lmao Trying to go cozy boho and keeping a bit of a theme where the furniture is dark wood/light oak and then the accents and lighting are warm yellows and oranges. Most of the decor so far means a lot to me, from my favourite albums to family memories to some of my drawings. As I don't (plan to) see myself ending up with a lady in my life anytime soon I'm trying to make this a space just for me. I love cooking, I love music so those things take priority, hence the smaller bed and no massive TV. The couch is just there because it was already there, I hate it but it does hide the unpacked stuff nicely lmao It's taking some time getting used to the goat sounds, and there's also 2 airports relatively close, so it's pretty chaotic a lot of times, but also it's free and I can do what I want so 🤷 Next up is making it more cozy and decorated, expanding the studio and getting a new desk and sitting area. The sleeping area also desperately needs some love! Since it's on the top floor of the barn (there's 2 floors) I've named it "Penthouse Golden Goat" (but in old Dutch) Any more ideas? I'm open to anything! For those wondering about the smell I'll copy my comment from below: "Sometimes, unfortunately. The goats themselves smell okay (funnily enough they smell like how goats cheese tastes. I hope I didn't ruin it for you) But they clear out the gutters that collect their manure once a week so when the time comes there's a decently strong ammonia smell. But the owner has been working on making everything more smell proof. I also burn tons of incense and smoke loads of weed so I usually don't even notice because the room already smells very strong lmao" As for how I ended up here (record scratch): "Long story short, my parents are freelance farmers. Meaning, they run someone elses farm, but get to live there as well as get a salary. No living expenses etc. When a farmer wants to retire, doesn't have someone to take over the business and selling isn't worth it, they'll usually do an arrangement like this. Usually you'll get a house, but this time it was a little apartment building attached to the barns. I'd just moved back home after a breakup and was planning to move out again when they applied for this place. And with how fucked the housing market here is, this is an opportunity that's too good not to take. Unless I'd find a roommate (quite hard here) or get into another relationship (no thanks) renting a place would cost me half my income and buying isn't even an option. So yeah, I share a building with my parents, they live downstairs lmao. But we all have our own utilities and kitchen and bathrooms etc. So I technically live at home with mom and dad, but not really" submitted by /u/GinkgoForest420 to r/malelivingspace [link] [comments]

I live in a historic 1928 Tudor-style home in Detroit Michigan. Today, the previous owner stopped by to collect some mail and pointed out this small, somewhat decorative metal plate inside the door frame and asked “do you know what this is?” And when I said no, she said “you should look it up. It has an interesting history” but didn’t say anything else about it. It’s about 3 inches in height and sits in the door frame between the inner wooden door and the outer storm door. Does anyone know what this is or what the symbol might mean? My best guess is that it may be some sort of craftsman’s or architect’s mark, but I have no idea. submitted by /u/laurenandsymph to r/centuryhomes [link] [comments]

Just need to get this out there as I don’t feel I have anyone that I can talk to about this tonight As the title reads, my husband didn’t get me a thing for Christmas. We are young. We’re both 28. We’ve been married for a little over a year. We’ve been together since freshman year of college, our ten years of being together just passed. I think what upsets me the most is I’m the one that got everything else together. I bought the gifts. I bought the gifts for his parents, his siblings, my parents, my brother, and everyone else in between. I made the cookies. I wrapped every single gift. I put up the lights, the tree, the decor. The only thing he really helped with was helping me carry the tree from the garage. Two days ago he sits me down and says he has something really bad to tell me. He says that he doesn’t have anything for me for Christmas. He says he had all these ideas that made him really excited but he didn’t act on any of them and now it’s too late. He says that he went to the mall earlier that day and almost bought something really expensive, but didn’t. It’s not about the gifts. It’s really not. I think it’s the lack of effort that gets me. For my birthday, he knew I was wanting to go to a concert that I couldn’t get tickets for. On the day of my birthday he pulled up stubhub and said he’s going to take me to the concert, but would like to wait to a closer date to get the tickets. The day rolls around, he forgot about it till I reminded him the night before. Guess what? We didn’t go. Our first anniversary was this October. Didn’t get flowers. Didn’t get a card. Nothing. We both have good jobs and work hard. We are dual income no kids. Our rent is cheap and we honestly don’t have many bills or any debt. (I know we are so very blessed for that, we worked hard to get here). Yes he is busy at work but he literally does nothing outside of work. He’ll come home, maybe do some dishes and then focuses on watching sports, fantasy football and all the such. I never in our relationship perpetuated me doing everything like I did for this Christmas. When we got home from family festivities today I quietly told him “I know it’s not about the gifts but I can’t believe you didn’t get me anything. I actually think it’s worse that you went to the mall knowing you had nothing under the tree for me, but couldn’t find one thing that made you think of me” he basically followed it up with the excuse that he asked me what I wanted five times but I couldn’t give him any ideas. (Which is partially true, I am not the easiest to shop for.. but if that’s his defense he didn’t give me any ideas on what to get him either). Then he got angry at me and said I can’t do what I want but he’s still going to have a good night. Now I’m silently crying in bed and he’s watching football on the couch. I feel like a brat writing all of this because it really isn’t about the gifts but for some reason this has made me so so so sad. And yes there are a handful of gifts from me to him under the tree. submitted by /u/llpppoppppopppop to r/TrueOffMyChest [link] [comments]

I feel BIG weird posting pics of my little arm (left arm, missing just below my elbow) online, but my artist has had my deposit for months and I just can't settle. He's totally fine tattooing my arm and I am a congenital amputee (amniotic band syndrome) so I don't have phantom pain or anything like that. I am very proud to be an amputee, but I find the appearance unappealing and I want a tattoo simply to decorate it. I've drawn on my arm before with sharpie and I do prefer it that way. Before I thought about having a complicated, sort of tapestry banner that featured natural landscapes from my home that wrapped around my arm, trying to make it as meaningful as possible, but it didn't just feel right. My current idea is to do a snake, which wraps around the lower part of the arm with the head coming up along the top flat of the elbow, the head ending on my humerous. Give me all your ideas. I like nature and animal themes, especially frogs and snakes, celestial designs/witchy designs. I like ornate features. I hope this is enough. I hardly know anything at all about tattooing. Edit: Thank you to everyone who commented, I had a real good laugh! Even to the 100 of you that said "penis", I assure you it gets funnier every time. Thanks to the many of you that dm'd me offering to design the tattoo for me. submitted by /u/HermoineGrangersHair to r/tattooadvice [link] [comments]

This is a repost. The original was posted in r/dustythunder by user Ok-Cloud-4742. I'm not the original poster. Status: Ongoing Original December 2, 2025 I just need to vent because I'm losing my mind over this absolute nonsense. My husband and I bought our house two years ago. It's in a neighborhood with an HOA, which we knew going into it, but the rules seemed reasonable at the time. Basic stuff about lawn maintenance and not parking RVs in the driveway. This year I decided to go all out for Christmas. I love Christmas. I put up lights on the house, some yard decorations, a big inflatable snowman, the works. Nothing crazy. I've seen way more elaborate displays. But it looks nice and festive and it makes me happy. Two days after I finished decorating, I got a letter from the HOA. Apparently my Christmas display violates the "seasonal decoration guidelines." Guidelines I didn't even know existed because they're not in the main HOA rules. They're in some supplementary document that was never given to us when we bought the house. The letter says: I can only have white or clear lights (mine are multicolored) Inflatables are not permitted Decorations cannot extend more than 3 feet from the house The display can only be up from December 1st to January 5th (I put mine up the week before Thanksgiving) I have 48 hours to remove the "non-compliant" decorations or I'll be fined $100 per day. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER DAY. I called the HOA management company and the woman I spoke to was so condescending. She said "These rules apply to everyone to maintain neighborhood aesthetics." I said I never received these rules and she said "Ignorance of the rules doesn't excuse violation of them." I asked to see the rule document and she emailed me a 47-page PDF of "supplementary guidelines" that include insane things like: Wreaths can only be green or gold No lawn ornaments visible from the street between January 6th and November 30th Holiday decorations must be "tasteful and understated" My decorations are tasteful! They're normal Christmas decorations that thousands of people have! My next-door neighbor has almost the exact same setup as me. I asked if they got a letter. They said no. So apparently the HOA is selectively enforcing this. My husband wants me to just take down the decorations to avoid the fines. But I'm so angry about this. It's Christmas. I want to have Christmas lights. This is my house that I paid for with my own money. I looked up who's on the HOA board. It's run by this woman Diane who lives three streets over. I've never even met her but apparently she has nothing better to do than patrol the neighborhood looking for Christmas decoration violations. I tried to fight it. I sent an email saying I never received these supplementary guidelines and that the rule seems overly restrictive. The response was basically "Rules are rules. Remove the decorations or face daily fines starting December 1st." So now I have to decide if I want to keep my Christmas decorations up and potentially owe thousands of dollars in fines, or take them down and let the HOA win. My mom thinks I should just comply and avoid the stress. My best friend thinks I should leave the decorations up and fight it because the HOA is being ridiculous. My husband is stressed because he thinks if we don't comply they'll put a lien on our house or something. I'm just so tired of this. I can't even enjoy Christmas in my own home because some woman on a power trip has decided my lights are too colorful. Comments by OOP: [that HOA can and will absolutely put a lien on the house] That's what my husband keeps saying, he's terrified they'll actually go through with the lien thing. I hate the idea of moving again but honestly after this I don't know if I can deal with living under Diane's dictatorship for the next 30 years. Honestly at this point joining the board just to vote Diane out is tempting. I wonder how many other people in the neighborhood are sick of her nonsense too. Comply for now but fight. Read every document pertaining to your HOA to see what the rules are about adopting supplementary guidelines, then check the history to make sure everything was done correctly. That is, make sure these guidelines are legally binding on you. Also make sure these HOA is keeping up with everything else it is supposed to do. Document the selectively enforcement too. If you think you have something, hire a lawyer to write them a letter about how they are wrong. If you don’t have anything, you can still rally the neighbors for a rules change or to support you running for the board yourself. [nolaz] This is really good advice, thank you. I'm going to dig through all the paperwork we got at closing and see if these supplementary rules were even mentioned. The selective enforcement thing really gets me because my neighbor has the exact same setup and they got nothing. [OOP] Update December 6, 2025, 3 days later I honestly don't know if I'm looking for advice or just need to scream into the void at this point but here we are. It's been three days since I posted. Things have gotten so much worse. So after I posted, the comments were pretty split. Half of you said take the decorations down and pick my battles. The other half said fight it because the HOA is being ridiculous. I was leaning toward fighting it. My husband was not. We've been arguing about this nonstop for three days. He wants the decorations down. I kept saying no, it's the principle of it. He said principles don't pay the mortgage when they put a lien on our house. I genuinely didn't think they'd follow through on the daily fines. I thought it was a scare tactic. It's not a scare tactic. Yesterday I checked our mailbox and there was a letter from the HOA. An invoice. For $500. Five days of fines. December 1st through December 5th. $100 per day. I stared at it for like ten minutes. My husband came home from work and I showed him. He didn't say anything at first. Just looked at the paper. Then he said "So what are we doing?" I said I don't know. He said we need to decide because every day we wait is another $100. We got into the worst fight we've had in our entire relationship. He said I'm being irrational and stubborn. That I'm going to cost us thousands of dollars over Christmas lights. I said the HOA is bullying us and if we give in now they'll know they can push us around forever. He said "This isn't about bullying, this is about money we don't have. We can't afford this." I knew he was right but I was too angry to admit it. I said I'd go to the board meeting next week and fight to get the fines waived. He said the board meeting isn't until the 10th and by then we'll owe $1,000. That's when it really hit me. We're already at $500. Four more days until the meeting means $900 total. And what if I go to the meeting and they don't waive anything? What if they just tell me to pay up? I didn't sleep last night. I kept running the numbers. $100/day adds up so fast. And I kept thinking about what happens if we don't pay. Can they really put a lien on our house? I googled it at 2am. Yes. They absolutely can. This morning I woke up and my husband was already gone for work. There was a note on the kitchen counter. "I'm taking the decorations down tonight when I get home. I'm sorry. I can't watch us lose everything over this. I love you." I lost it. I called him sobbing. Begged him not to touch my decorations. He said someone has to be the adult here and make the hard choice. I said it's my house too, he can't just make this decision without me. He said "Then YOU take them down. Because I'm not letting us get to $1,000 in fines." I hung up on him. Sat in the kitchen crying. Looking out the window at my Christmas lights. They look so pretty in the daytime even when they're not on. The inflatable snowman looks happy. And I'm going to have to take it all down because I can't afford to keep being stubborn. But then this morning I made a huge mistake. I went on our neighborhood Facebook group. There was a post from two days ago that I somehow missed. From Diane, the HOA president. A "friendly reminder" about holiday decoration guidelines. With a photo attached. Of my fucking house. She posted a picture of MY decorations as an example of what violates the rules. My house. My decorations. For everyone in the neighborhood to see. The comments were brutal. People calling my decorations tacky and gaudy. Someone said I'm "the reason HOAs exist." Another person said I'm bringing down everyone's property values. One comment said "Thank god the board is handling this." I'm being publicly shamed on Facebook by my own neighbors. People I've never even met are trashing my house online. I screenshotted it and sent it to my husband. He called me immediately. He was furious. Not at the HOA - at me. He said "Why are you looking at that? You're just making yourself more upset. This is exactly why we need to end this NOW." I said did you see what they're saying about us? He said "I don't care what they're saying. I care that we owe $500 and counting." He got home from work an hour ago. Didn't say a word to me. Just went straight outside and started taking down the decorations. I'm watching him from the living room window right now as I type this. He's been out there for 45 minutes. It's cold. His hands are probably freezing. The snowman is deflated in a sad pile on the grass. He's pulling down the light strands one by one. Our house is going to look so bare. I should go help him. I know I should. But I can't make myself move. I just keep crying. I feel like I failed. Like I let the HOA win. But more than that I feel like I've damaged my marriage over something so stupid. My husband is right. He's been right this whole time. I was too proud and stubborn to admit it and now we owe $500 (probably $600 by tomorrow) and he's out in the cold cleaning up my mess. Every other house on our street gets to have their white lights and their "tasteful" decorations. Our house is going to look like we hate Christmas. I don't even want to celebrate anymore. The whole thing is ruined. I still have to go to that board meeting on the 10th and beg them to reduce the fines. But I'm not hopeful. I've already proven I won't follow their rules. Why would they help me? I fucking hate this. I'm not the original poster submitted by /u/Schattenspringer to r/BORUpdates [link] [comments]

Home was built in the 60s. No idea what the purpose of this part is and how I should decorate to make it look less awkward in my dining/living room? What should I do with it? Any advice is appreciated. submitted by /u/guacamole_24 to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

Disney Adults both intrigue and annoy me. Maybe because I can’t understand what drives their obsession? I’m also leaning towards believing there’s a tipping point between liking or even loving all this Disney to full blown obsession where Disney becomes the main driving force in their lives and personalities. I have an acquaintance who’s shown signs of being mentally off her rocker in so many ways who is beyond obsessed with all things Disney. She is in her 40s with no children and got “married” (unofficially) in Disneyland, only wears Disney clothes and visits parks, shows and Disney events on her days off. Her purses are Disney themed and her home is decorated in…yep, you guess it: all things Disney. It’s all she talks about. Even her International trips are to foreign Disney parks. She’s admitted she’s in tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt to keep up with her Disney obsession (even cruises). This HAS to be a mental illness. I saw this seemingly normal man who was well-groomed at a bus stop this morning with this backpack and it made me wonder what the psychology is behind this. Any ideas? Any chance it will eventually get a DSM diagnosis? submitted by /u/SoCalN8tive to r/PsychologyTalk [link] [comments]

I have watched all the movies numerous times. I am now reading the series and beginning the 4th book. I am looking for differences between the books and movies. So fun! Speaking of fun, I wanted to share that I created a community HogwartsatHome for anyone who is a superfan and loves to decorate with HP merch and DIY ideas! Here's a few pics of some areas I've done recently. submitted by /u/ms-kerri to r/harrypotter [link] [comments]

Picture this: A lot of ships lined up underground; when you land in your home planet, they give you the option to send the hangar pad down once more, in order to access your instanced home. (No idea how would Orison do it, though). When you want to take a ship out, you get in it, turn it on and fly it to the hangar pad and then send it up to the regular(current) hangar. submitted by /u/AzrBloodedge to r/starcitizen [link] [comments]

I am in Mexico visiting and there is this cool craft store with Talavera tiles. I really like the colors and designs on a few of them but struggling to come up with ways to include them in my home. Everything I look up is regarding whole home renovation projects with these tiles like backsplashes and floor tiling. I just want to purchase 3-5 to bring back. Have any ideas of a good way to include these in my home? I was thinking coasters? Or maybe framing them? They are small like 5x5 inches each. submitted by /u/corndogslayer to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

I'm new to interior design–I didn't have the headspace or money to focus on it initially, but I now realize how important it is for my day-to-day mood and would like to decorate my walls and bedroom to bring a little more color into the room. I thinking about replacing the TV, stand, and lamps with MCM-leaning options and am getting a white Eames lounge chair and ottoman in the corner next to the window/TV. Also will get rid of the striped duvet cover and gray curtains once I have more ideas on accent colors :) My current room feels quite locked into the black and gray theme with the choice of bed/nightstands, and any new pieces I think of adding end up contributing more to this fatigue (see below). Any thoughts on what else I can do to add more color to my bedroom? Lastly, any thoughts on decorating with hobbies and passions in mind? I am into cars, coffee, tennis, and DJing. I don't need every piece I decorate my room with to fit that mold, but I do wonder how y'all like to balance decor like the Porsche metal art (last picture) with more traditional framed art. Read some older posts and saw there’s definitely a way to go overboard with this especially with partners in the mix–but this room is just for me at the moment lol submitted by /u/FoundationTimely5955 to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

I just watched lilsimsie build a house with Dream Home Decorator and… she made a full couch? Like with the sides and stuff??? I’ve had this pack for a couple of months, probably a year at this point, and I didn’t know you could do that 😭 Granted, I bought the pack on a whim and did little to no research on it but this ENTIRE TIME I had no fucking idea you could actually customize the modular couches. I have a bad habit of buying packs and not fully exploring them. I just like to build, make a sim in cas, cause chaos for a bit, and repeat. 😭😭 submitted by /u/breanna_renee to r/Sims4 [link] [comments]
