Don't know if your still asking for help for erotic parody concepts but have you looked into shifter stories? I may or may not be leaning on calling myself a furry but for whatever reason I've been checking out badly written shifter audiobooks. A few once in a blue moon are actually decent and for some reason it feels like it only pertains to bear shifters stories though that might just be my bias. Anyways with the exception of those a good number of them tend to read like bad erotic fanfictions written by either incels covering up who they are with a woman's name as an alias or a sheltered horny middle aged Karens. Check some out for inspiration. Lycanthropy is wide spectrum for things besides wolves and bears so maybe make the guy something that's ironically not associated to the tough male were-beasts of the shifter-verse like a rat, pigeon, or a donkey. If shifters don't seem like your cup of tea then maybe comedic erotic parody something that's already got a goofy popular erotic parodies like pirates of the Caribbean, star trek, or Tarzan.

It's honestly such a pet peeve of mine when people tell you to forgive family members for being abusive because "blood is thicker than water". The only reason you talk to your family is because you're tied to them by blood. Think about it for a minute, if you weren't family would you be friends with them? If the answer is no then don't force yourself to be around them.

​@@nostradamus1162 this longer version of the quote is sadly entirely made up. the original comes from a german author from like 1 thousand years ago Edit: As many of you guys have rightfully stated, both quotes are technically made up. My point originally was that many people think the longer quote came before the shorter one. People think it got shortened afterwards to give it a different meaning. But as many people have stated, the longer quote is most likely an interpretation of the shorter one. The earliest original quote I have found is from a German poet „Blut ist dicker als Wasser.“, but another person has said that it was first found in the Bible, but I am still mot sure.

But I cannot tell you how many times my coworkers have had to advise parents of, like, *twelve year-olds* about the contents of these books because their kids are begging for them. They are marketed as Romance (i.e. adult, so probably has adult sexual content in it!) but people assume that because it's on TikTok it must be appropriate for children.

@@fionamclary7631 The thing is that "BookTok" recommendations are (if I had to estimate) maybe 65% Young Adult and 35% Adult (primarily romance and sci-fi/fantasy). You have parents who see their twelve year-olds reading, IDK, the Lunar Chronicles or the Selection (firmly YA, nothing that you wouldn't find in a Marvel movie- tamer than that, even) and probably loads of other reasonably appropriate YA novels because they or their friends saw it on TikTok. So when the kid says "TikTok says that Colleen Hoover's good" the parents will probably assume it's YA and will therefore be reasonably appropriate for a middle-schooler, because everything else (that they're aware of, anyway) from TikTok has been as well. The kids themselves may not even realize that they're picking up an adult romance book depending on how they got the recommendation. We've had at least a couple of parents get mad at us over this, and frankly it's ridiculous. If I got something that was not from the kids/teen section when I was a kid, my parents at least glanced over the summaries to make sure they weren't grossly inappropriate before buying them. You can't *not* monitor what your kid is reading and then get mad at us when *you* buy it for them without checking it out first.

This reminds me of the video that went viral about a month ago, of the guy that called the cops on a girl's dad for making threats to him after he stalked his daughter repeatedly trying to get her to listen to a "love song" he wrote for her. In HIS mind it was romantic, chasing the hard to get girl who just needed to give him a chance to prove his love. In HER mind it was a terrifying experience of turning a guy down repeatedly, just to have him relentlessly stalk her because he was convinced she loved him, she just didn't know it yet. If the video was made by Colleen Hoover, the dad would have sided with the stalker instead of threatening to beat the ever loving sh*t out of him, like a parent should do for their child.

I have a crown on a tooth that's been a pain for a couple decades and was cracking around its old metal filling. The damn thing refused to fully numb during the filing procedure, and I had to just wince through some of it. And with crowns etc., there's always a chance it won't stick, and you'll need a root canal or lose the tooth later. I cannot envision doing something that to multiple teeth that are perfectly fine, especially knowing the veneer/etc. will eventually need replaced even if they work.

Man youre involved with corners you and expects you to be turned on by him touching you. Your body responds even though your brain is afraid. He takes it as proof. You take it as proof too because sex ed failed you. But instead of being normalized, it's excused. It's repulsive.

It was around 1:35:25 when I realized a significantly better plot would've still started with the fake romance but it would've been someone Fallon already knows helping her- maybe a barista or waiter or something she regularly saw at the restaurant and maybe already liked, whether platonically or as something else. Then said waiter could pretend to be her boyfriend and she'd likely be more comfortable with that since she'd already know him. Ben could still be part of the story but would be the clear antagonist- a desperate, cruel, selfish stalker rather than the love interest. There are so many ways this story could have gone but the more I hear of Colleen Hoover's writing the less surprised I am- I'm just kind of disappointed at this point? Ugh it's all so bad and toxic. No one deserves to read this...

I then read Ugly Love and I was like 'wtf is this shit?!'. It Ends With Us was, I thought, a smart story of the slow unravelling of an abusive partner/relationship. I didn't realise Hoover throws this behaviour into every male character, in non-abusive relationships. So now I feel embarrassed to have ever proclaimed to like that book. Thank you.

Just enjoy being young and stay single and get some fun hobbies... keep it light if you can help it. There's just no way you can have the perspective and literal brain development of a real adult at that age. It doesn't mean youre a kid either, it's just the weird in between stage (18-21/22).

Casserole is a catch-all term for when you stack foods into a sort of lasagna configuration. You can get green bean casserole and that’s when green beans are in a dish with like crunchy onion bits. You can call just about anything a casserole as long as it’s stacked up in a dish. People tend to throw those in the oven because they’re relatively easy to make. You usually give them to your neighbors if they’re in mourning or otherwise you don’t think they can make food for themselves.

Exactly. It's like the old "frozen dinner" before it was commercialized. It's whatever food in the casserole dish that can be kept and cooked easily enough for anyone going through hardships

I think the key for mourning/hospitalization scenarios is that it can provide you a whole meal without you having to put in any work (if someone has pre-made it for you). You bring a casserole, a bread, and some iced tea, and that's a meal that will keep in the fridge for a week and take almost zero effort to serve.

casseroles are more commonly mixed together before cooking though, rather than stacked (even though some, like lasagna, are stacked). it's sort of like a "one pot meal" kind of thing where everything is mixed, cooked, and stored in one container (the casserole dish). it's kind of the stereotypical nice thing to do when someone dies is make their family a meal and a lot of times it's a casserole because they're so easy to store and warm up. Historically, they're sort of struggle meals because they're cheap and made of thrown together ingredients but they're a general comfort meal thing for a lot of americans

Rumour on the streets on TikTok is that a girl was allegedly SAd by CH’s son, and when that girl slid in her dms to tell her about it, CH blocked her. I don’t know how much truth this holds as don’t have the ability to confirm those claims, tho.

I'm not on tiktok but I've looked up articles and followed the links. A twitter user has accused one of her sons of sexual harassment (pestering them for pictures on Snapchat and they have implied he did worse) while knowing they were a minor. CH claims she didn't see the message at first but reached out to this person, apologised, spoken to her son, and sent them her lawyer's contact details. She claims they have never met in person. The twitter user has also claimed sexual assault in their replies to someone asking about it but hasn't mentioned any apology on their twitter, which you'd think they would.

The thought of having grief sex with one of my fiancés brothers makes me feel gross. Like he's not sick or dead or anything but if he ever died I can tell you right now, if never get with one of his brothers. And the thought of him getting with my sister if I ever died also makes me feel so gross. I get it happens and people process grief differently and I suppose I should just be happy in lucky enough to not fully understand it bc it means I haven't been through it, but the thought of it just makes me so unhappy. Also, as someone who has literally been assaulted (by my boyfriend at the time and even now it feels weird to call it assault but I know that's what it was) the same way that the MC was originally written in the club, that's gross. It's not cute, it's not sexy, I don't get why Colleen Hoover wrote it like that originally 🤢
