And I don’t want the kids in my community to be limited in the kinds of play they’re allowed to partake in, can’t play ball games when there’s windows that could be shattered, can’t build a den in a play park. I don’t want my neighbours to feel like they’re walking on eggshells either

Like I want to give my cat safe outdoors enrichment outside of the hours of 5-6am. I don’t want him be spooked by dogs or very loud excited children or worse, obnoxious drunk people. Which is like Every Day with nice weather pretty much
November 15, 2025 at 9:37 AM
It’s the same with a garden. I don’t need a huge American suburban garden with a sterile dogshit lawn, I want a small cottage garden that no one is able to see directly into. So I can just be weird and not feel eyes staring at me going “wtf?”. Like even just walking my cat invites mean comments
November 15, 2025 at 9:37 AM
Suburbs have this eerie uncanny quiet that I hate. I don’t want a lack of noise entirely, I just want the busy Doing Things area not directly next to my windows. And as whiny as it sounds I just hate sharing a wall with my neighbours. I never feel comfortable making any amount of noise in my home
November 15, 2025 at 9:37 AM
I just don’t want a future where people like me are forgotten about, and I wish I could live in a way that’s just less… hostile to people like me. I just want it to be an option, not everything needs to always be cities etc
November 15, 2025 at 9:24 AM
And that’s entirely fair! I’m just trying to make people aware that hey… people like me exist and my living space doesn’t adequately suit my needs. Please consider us, because we’re largely invisible, and a lot of folk don’t think we’re worth thinking about.
November 15, 2025 at 9:24 AM
I won’t get into all of this, the thread will get to long, and people might think I’m angry or something. I’m not, and I’m very well aware that *most* people do not encounter these problems, and that’s why it never occurs to them that not everyone could live this way
November 15, 2025 at 9:24 AM
Because them and the communal garden space is *directly* next to my bedroom window, I don’t see the reason why it needs to be directly next to people’s living spaces. Also even if my flat was sound proofed, I still wouldn’t be able to go outside and have it be peaceful.
November 15, 2025 at 9:24 AM
No I never said a rural homestead, I said a *village*. Imo there is a difference. Also my city is not car centric, there are cars but not many, there is a bus service most people use. The bulk of the noise pollution is caused by my neighbours, who all have large families and are rather loud people

I’m honestly so glad to see people saying nice things about TotK for once. I have a complicated relationship with that game. I for sure have my gripes with how it was handled, but all of its component parts have cast a Zonai sealing spell on my heart, I will always cherish it. Also I *adore* Mineru
November 15, 2025 at 8:30 AM
My only complaint is that we didn’t get a remix for Mineru’s heart-wrenchingly beautiful leitmotif, and that we didn’t get to spend enough time in the period before the war kicks off. They just skip 6 whole months of Zelda living in the castle before Sonia is killed which bums me out a bit
November 15, 2025 at 8:28 AM
Yess!! They’re so adorable! Cute little dorks, and Rauru is cute as well. Him and Mineru have a good sibling dynamic going on, their relationship is heart warming, and I personally adore how this game has treated Mineru, even when I know it’s going to tear my heart to shreds
November 15, 2025 at 8:28 AM
Oh same here, I’m honestly heartbroken then I’ve finished AoI because I love the Zonai so much, especially Mineru, I cherish them deeply! And we still don’t know who the three dragons were!

So it’s like… I doubt most children would not want to live with their birth families, but it would be life changing for those who’d want to. And sometimes I think a lot of kids would have a far better relationship with their parents if both parties weren’t forced to constantly interact

I’d be in a much better position, I likely wouldn’t currently have my chronic illness, if as a child I’d been allowed to just go live with my big brother after my mother had died. She was incredibly loving and warm, but my dad wasn’t, and when my older siblings moved out it was utter misery
November 14, 2025 at 12:22 PM
As a person who cares deeply about youth rights, all we often advocate for is for parents to not be allowed to control an entire human being’s life. For children to be able to say “NO!” And leave. To just have the option, where whatever one they choose, society will support
November 14, 2025 at 12:22 PM
Oh I have FOUND my people! Puberty was downright traumatic for me, not because it didn’t match my gender but because my body changed without my consent and I liked my child body. It didn’t help that most changes, even to this day, were viscerally uncomfortable physically speaking
November 14, 2025 at 12:11 PM
I’m sure I’d feel differently though if I’d just gotten to decide when I wanted to go through with it, and any issues I had were medically addressed, then I’d feel differently, but currently I utterly detest my hormone cycle, even at age 25, I never “got used to” the vast majority of these changes
November 14, 2025 at 12:00 PM
I couldn’t handle THAT many changes and going to secondary school all at once, a mere year after my mummy had died. I liked my child body the way it was! I have felt viscerally uncomfortable physically speaking in my body is like 15 years! It doesn’t feel like My body.
November 14, 2025 at 12:00 PM
Oooh! I’d also tack on that puberty blockers should be available to ALL children, no questions asked, if they want to delay puberty they should get the option to. I’m a cis girl but holy shit would I have benefited from blockers as a 10 yr old. My body changing without my consent was traumatic
November 14, 2025 at 12:00 PM
This is the mantra of so many people in the UK and it genuinely makes me see red. It’s such an extremely selfish and cruel way to see the world, at times it’s downright “lazy” (I hate using that word) because they say it to avoid doing any thinking, or having any care or compassion for others
November 14, 2025 at 11:48 AM
For people who want to live in urban commie blocks because they’d be happy that way, then more power to them, it should be an option. But for me, high density living isn’t even something I’d merely not be happy with, I’d be downright miserable, I am right now! If I could afford to move then I would
November 14, 2025 at 11:41 AM
I want to see the stars, FUCK light pollution! I HATE it! I want everything on a smaller scale that isn’t extremely overwhelming. I want to be able to escape from Loud and Busy, living in an urban area is hell for me, I literally never go outside because of it. It puts me in distress EVERY time
