Fairytale tale villian hasn't meet love interest yet

...See more I'm writing a fairytale novel for National Novel Writing month.   I'm stuck on two problems.    The first problem is that my fairytale villian who is a woman (Matilda) hasn't meet the King Richard's (the main character) love interest (Diana), yet.  There is magic in this word but I don't want to do the magic methods (crystal ball or magic mirror or an hour glass) of the villian spying on Richard and Diana.    I want Diana and the villian to have an in-person meeting.   Then  Matilda can start spying on Diana (not knowing she's Richard's love interest).  The other problem is I want the Matilda to start interfering in the love interests' lives after the villian found out they're love interests  but I can't figure out how do that.  I mean I know where it will end up in some kind of battle of the end but I need to figure out how to start the messing about.    All I have at the moment is I know that Matilda will disguise herself as someone younger but not too young and become King Richard's ward Isabelle's new governess.  
Trying to prevent a meltdown by buying cheese and Mom's mad at that?

...See more So I'm get grumpy if my family gets low on something like cheese. I'm was on my last brick of "my cheese" and I had none in the basement.  Yes it would last maybe for a week-but when most of my lunches or suppers require cheese: Lunch: Mircowave cheese sandwhiches mircowave chilli Bagel with cheese either microwave or stove omelet  Crackers and Cheese  Supper: homemade Mac and Cheese stove-top  omlette  _______________________________________ I have meltdowns or get really upset if stuff like Orange juice isn't ready for when I want it.  Because I need to have OJ at a spefic time either for lunch or for breakfast depending on the day.   I'm afraid once I ran out of my cheese and had none in the fridge in the basement I would have a meltdown because I can't think of much to eat that doesn't require cheese in some shape or form- except for Ramyeon and soup and I need to save the ramyeon for every other Thursday when mom's at choir during the winter time and I only have 2 of my "weird soups" left I'm not sure if the 3rd one is one of my "werid soups" or not (potato and bacon soup but its 90% is).   So to avoid a potential meltdown in the future I went to get some bricks of cheese -Armstrong cheese: 1 block of Monterary Check  1 block of Mexcian festival (both my cheeses) 1 Marbel chesee 1. Old cheese  (Mom  cheese which I use for Pizza) 1. cream cheese (Herb and Garlic)-I was runing out of this  3 containers of dip- one tzakzi dip, one 5 cheese dip and 1 spinach dip (I found out afterwards I didn't need the spinach dip) 1 jar of  cheez whiz-also running out of this and I had no back up and 4 jars of OJ ($2.47) the only thing that was NOT on my mental list was 2 bags of Armstrong Shredded cheese but when it was on sale for $2.47 that's cheap). The cost of everything was $82.60 (since i'm in Canada round it up to $83.00) ________________________________________ So when I got home my parents had just gotten home as well and Mom's was like "I hope you didn't buy 10 blocks of cheese".  I mean I have my own money and I was being proactive in preventing myself from having a meltdown in the future of either no cheese or no OJ (the only cans remaining until I brought 4 today- were from 2013 and they're ancient and would be very "off" after one time we had no avaible juice) So why in the world is my Mom mad at me for me trying to prevent a meltdown of "no cheese" by going to buy expensive cheese (the actuall price is $11.69  so its $12.00)  i could have gotten 2 of MOm's cheese for cheaper but I didn't know about the sale until after I got to that area on my way to the OJ section
Parents say stuff like "it's not our problem" when I talk about random interests

...See more So I'm really upset with my parents.  I have a ton of different interests  depending on whatever it its that's currently in my sight.   Some examples are Paralives, Not Always Right stories, disabilities and accessibility,  whatever game I'm currently playing -Planet Coaster, CKIII, Sims, Democracy 4 ,etc  and also whatever movie aka Disney movie I have watched recently (for instance in Mary Poppins did you know that the child who played Michel Banks was afraid of heights so he had to be paid an dollar extra every time they had to re-take the "tea party on the ceiling" scene?), and Nursery Nurse *** series. When my parents get annoyed about what I'm telling them  like let's say I'm telling Mom a story from NAR website and she will say "it's not our problem/we don't have to worry about it".   Or like on Thursday I was going on and on about Paralives' disability-related clutter from a pateron post (you can see this in another thread on this forum disability section) that got unlocked on Thursday -she got grumpy at me and said "All I want is not to hear you talk" or something like that because I had non-stop talking to her basically since I got home from shopping with Dad that morning (Dad and I had 2 *bacon* arguments in the car on Thursday-but that's a totally different story). Today I was talking to Dad earlier (1-2pm) about a Nursery Nurse video-basically about how due to today's first episode of the 2 episodes released daily, that I got an answer to  a question I had back in April about "How many weeks of school off to do British children get?"   Basically the answer is 13 weeks and if the parents have used up all their annual leave and can't get more time off (without it being unpaid)  they put their children into "holiday clubs"  basically between a cross between a camp and a nursery  (day care) during that time.   When i mentioned that part to Dad he said "great getting rid of the children"   but he didn't seen to understand that the parents only did that, because they have used up their allotted days off.  When I asked Dad later (After I talked Mom's ear off about the 13 weeks British children get off) Dad said one of Mom's lines of "It's not our problem and we don't have any young children in the house."   That made me really upset.    That I just yelled and left because I wanted to swear and I didn't want to swear in front of my parents. saying stuff like "I hate everyone in this frank house"  and stuff like that.   Also point out that it's because of them I don't have a *** life.  Due to the combination of my parents being over protective because of my disabilities (that's another story) I can't get out much.   All my high school girlfriends have moved and now all but 1 have children of their own with their hubbies.   I only listen to an elderly friend I meet in day-program that's currently online.   But all she does is complain so I don't really want to complain about my problems.  NAR site did have a forum for less then a year from March 2023-Sept of 2024.   Or something like that because "they did have much people on the forum"  is the reason it closed.  But when they never announced it on the main site? The people who DID join the short-live forum, only did because they happen to notice the forum button on the site.  I was for less then 2 month on an unofficial NAR chatroom chat-- but the "CEO" behind that chat kicked me out for "causing too much drama" and "I reminded her of her own mother".  I had originally blocked her on NAR website due to her behaviour in the comments due to a story from or after 2013-I think.  And on the Paralives chatroom, I can talk about Paralives,  SIms,  PC 1 and PC2 (I haven't played the latter yet) but I don't think I would be able to talk about CKIII on there due to the mods' views about cousin marriage.  They think even 2nd and 3rd cousins marriage is "sexual".    Like the other year when Britain's Queen Elizabeth II died- someone brought up her cousin (2nd cousins and 3rd cousins) with her husband Prince Phillip  who had already pre-deceased her  and a mod shut it down that conversation.    So see  why outside of on here that the ONLY people I have to talk too are my parents and they get grumpy if I constantly am telling them stuff they don't need to know but I have no one else to talk too thanks for them being too over-protective?   
Paralives (life-sim game) disability representation

...See more I'm a pporter f the Work-in-progress  Canadian life-sim game.   I'm also a supporter of disability representation in life-sim games.   In Sept the Paralives' Indie team had a Pateron post (only people who were Paterons could see it for everyone else except for the title it was locked).  Today the team unlocked that post for the non-Paterons to see the disablity items. These items are not going to be functional in Early Access in 2025. an bedroom for someone with ASD.  So there's a computer desk that has fidget toys, and a noise cancelation headphones (I wish my parents would get me one of those) as well as a heating pad if need.  There's a weight lizard plushie on the bed as well.  close-up of the fidget toys: spinner thing,  pop-it,  non-verbal communication cards,  a stress ball(?), and a necklace I think  (the necklace could instead by a tangle another fidget toy) a bear cave either for someone who is both Diabetic and asthmatic or two people who have a love for D&D (Paralives' version is Delicious and Dungeons) and they both have disablities.  One is asthmatic and the other person has diabetes AS you can see there's an asthma pump (on the tower of the computer).  There's also on the couch a insulin pump and a glucose monitor.   an auto-immune person's bedroom with wheelchair and oxygen container   close-up of the manual wheelchair: a picture of a walker and a better view of the oxygen tank  forearm crutches and walking cane A room that's half for the blind or otherwise visibility impaired. (The stuff on the other side will be address in the 2nd to last photo) a probing cane (walking cane that a blind person uses to find obstacles on the sidewalk), a Braille book, and a magnifier to read small print.  The 2nd to last photo Deaf and Hearing impaired stuff  a Sign Language book,  small hearing aids, and what I know was called a TTY machine. (It was the predecessor for today's texting and only use by deaf people) extra photo: This is a photo of a the bathroom one of the Para devs made in the build that are in these pictures here and in some that I didn't show because they weren't related to disabilities.  The shower is big enough for a wheelchair. Most of the items could be accessible sitting down.  There's also are two "grab bars".  One you can see in the shower and the other you can only see a bit of next to the toilet. so that's the disability representation from Paralives team! 
Mom didn't give me a choice about suppers-had to eat with my sister and Dad.

...See more So i had a *** day and had fights with both my Mom and my sister.   But this is all my sister's fault anyway. Background: So normally on Thursdays Mom goes to Choir practice every week on Thursday and that means Dad and i normally make my own supper.   I switch between Mac/Pasta and cheese and Ramyeon (ramen) for the suppers.  This week it was suppose to be mac and cheese.   Story: So I was making all these plans about what I would make for supper when i came downstairs to empty the dishwasher when Mom was making the fruit. I was talking to mom about my potential dilemma and she told me that instead of making my own supper, she's making supper for 3 people.  She didn't even give me a choice of options.  She just told me "I'm making supper for the three of you so you're going to eat it".      And the only *** reason she had to MAKE one supper for 3 people is due to the fact my sister didn't eat at *bacon* all yesterday until whatever time Dad went to *bacon* bed on Thursday morning and got Wendy's.     So when i found out i couldn't make my own supper tonight.  I had a  meltdown she kept telling me to "Shut up" and stuff and then when I was saying stuff like "I always make my own suppers on Thursdays!"   Mom said "What are you going to do on the trip?"   That's not the same comparsion , that's literally apple to oranges you can't compare the two situations at all. I wouldn't be wanting to make my own supper in a different country.  I want to be making my supper here at HOME on Thursdays UNLESS Mom's at home to MAKE it and isn't going to CHOIR practice.  So Mom popped the food into oven before she left and then she left.   When i came downstairs to find out how long supper was going to be since it was mostly made.   Luna (not her actually name) told me "awhile"  but she could have just told me "22 mintues".   So it made me get in my sister's way when I wanted to see the timer and since it wasn't on the counter or in its normal spots in the family room - on the bookself.  I couldn't find it and when i did find it... I had to have my nose close up to it.. and Luna called me "Blind as a bat". Then later after Mom got home.  I went downstairs and Mom was making her own supper.  I think that's unfair Mom had to make 2 suppers -one for the other family members including myself and then she had to make her own supper.   I think it would have just been better if I had made my own supper since that would have been fairer to Mom if I had made my own supper. 
Parents tell me to "plan in advanced" but then say "what other problem do I have?" when I do

...See more I *bacon* hate it when my parents tell me to *bacon* plan in advanced for *bacon* stuff since whenever I *bacon* do the dam it they then ask "what other problem/argument do I have tonight?".     If they don't want me to plan in *bacon* advanced why do they tell me to *bacon* do it in the first place if they then think its a *bacon* problem? Like I reminded mom about the fact I need to remind her later this month about making sure she and I can check our *bacon* emails when we're on our trip because otherwise we're locked out since post-2013 you can't go beyond 5miles or something from your home.  I was checking my wallet and fanny pack to see if I could find a card because supposedly I have/had an ear doctor's appointment on Monday and Mom wants to call the doctor.   When checking I found that my Museum Card had 'senior' on it and I'm 100% not a senior.   When I tried talking to my parents *bacon* about it, they say "what other thing do you want to argue about now?"  And that hurts my feelings when they have told me to plan in *bacon* advanced for every *bacon* thing else so they shouldn't *bacon* complain when I do that in the first place sure Mom and I aren't going to the the Museum any time soon but all I was saying was telling Mom we need to fix my paper card (since the old museum cards don't work for scanners and neither Mom nor I have smart phone like my sister's.  But I'm getting really close to saying "dash it all" and getting an actually smart phone so I can download apps for food places to get rewards because its sucks not being able to get rewards with no cards anymore) since it says the wrong thing.
Parents hurt my feeling saying "they don't care" about my feelings

...See more So since 2020 I been trying to go to one Fast Food Place a month to get food for lunch.   But due to unusual circumstances-I chose not to get food last month for lunch.  The unusually circumstances was that: a)my parents and I got Harvey's for supper on the Monday before Mom and my third trip into Bard's town on the Wednesday.  On that Wednesday-after we tried another sushi place (it was closed like the other one)-we went to get Popeye's  Louisiana food instead.  I thought that was "too much fast food" for awhile.   So I haven't gotten any lunches since July. So Monday, due to Mom cleaning up the dinning room so we can put new bookcases in for me- Dad decided to get fast food -I said "No" to pizza, because Mom and I will be eating at Boston Pizza tomorrow so that meant Harvey's again.  Now I had plans up until now, for next week to go get fast food, I was thinking about going to Dairy's Queen. But tonight, while I was on my computer looking at (social media) I found out that on the 17th of the month (Sept) that my friend's workplace is having a Harry Potter trivia night and I don't know if I should both now to get fast-food if I'm going to be having to be paying for food/drinks at the restaurant. My parents and I were having a fight about them not understanding me and they claim I was understanding but they weren't.  And Mom said I was semi-focused on one tiny detail: I dont' want to pay tomorrow for my lunch, I don't want to be buying any meals on our trip in October, I want to get  a fast-food lunch this month,   due to not having any fast food lunches since July.  And when I tried to explain to them- I been to Harvey's 3 times in the last 3 months- June, and then twice more since then August and yesterday, and then McDonald's I been to at least 4-5 times:   Once in  early April  (Lunch) and then in late April I was back again (Mom, Luna, and My supper and ate there), I was back there again in June to get fast-food because the parents were going out to eat and they said I could get fast-food for supper,  July-my only lunch in the last 3 months.     My Mom "I don't care" and that hurt my feelings a lot.  It just I think because I haven't had any fast-food  lunches in June or August, I really want to get fast food, but its not wise to get fast-food if I'm going to be buying stuff the following week for food.  But my tummy wants to make up for "lost time" of June and August.  
Dad's top two fast food optons for fast-food: Pizza and Harvey's= boring

...See more I have this one problem with my Dad.   when Dad tries to be nice to Mom when she did a lot of work or is tired we get fast food from outside the house.   His first option is always is Pizza and normally I would be okay with that but Wednesday is Mom and my last day-trip into Bard's town and that means when we get back to Toto-we'll be eating at Boston Pizza.    So this time and last time we got food-I just told Mom "no Pizza" because the last thing I want to be eating is Pizza all week- Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, etc.     In July, when Mom and  I went to Boston pizza after just barley finishing a pizza from the previous week,  neither mom nor I were really in the mood for Pizza again. So when Pizza isn't an option,  Dad's next logical choice is Harvey's and so far this summer  I had Harvey's 3.5 times: once on my birthday and I took a meal home to eat the next day four supper because Mom wasn't avaible on either of those nights for supper. On a Monday in Mid-August, and tonight.  And know what other options we have to go too?  Here's the following: McDonald's (not that I would have wanted that, I been to McDonald's like 4 times this year: once in March, once in April,  once in June (parents' anniversary and the parents were eating out and let me go get an extra fast-food meal), and once in July (I wanted to try an McDonald's Iced Coffee Wendy's and Dad can easily get to a  Burger King that's really complicated for me to get to but is an only a 7min drive for him in the car. and another problem is that it kind of messes up any plans I have to get food during the following week or something.  I was planning on getting fast-food next week (not that I would be getting Harvey's), but I don't know if I should after having fast-food this week It just Dad seem to be so semi-focused on either getting Pizza (and ONLY from one place and no sides LC) or only getting food from Harvey's and it gets really tiring only getting food from those two places.   The only good thing is that Harvey's I get Pop and sides (Frings-onion and french fries) something I don't get from Pizza and I also get to have a hot dog because Harvey's the only chain that does that For most of the year, I try to once a month go to a restaurant in town to get some food and I, unlike my Dad, at least don't continuously go to the same restaurant over and over and over again.   I try to do it like this:  One month might be McDonald's, another month Wendy's, another month  Tim Horton's,   another month Burger King, another Month Taco Bell,  and then another Month Harvey's.
