2023-05-27 23:50:59 +0000 UTCI totally forgot to send a message with Fray. From what I can remember (shit, I can't believe it was 20 years ago) the graphic novel came out before the scythe was introduced in the show, so it was a super big deal, at least for me. I'm really pleased that it got to you and hope you enjoy it.

2023-05-20 21:35:07 +0000 UTCThat makes sense, Ron! I sent the gift to say thank you...but not for attention. That was not my intention. My family (parents, brother) is very gift-giving just in general for many reasons too complicated to list here. My husband doesn't get it sometimes, too, because he was raised differently than me.

2023-05-20 18:40:45 +0000 UTCWhen I sent my gift I messaged her to say if she thought it wasn't a good gift (I have a reputation for being bad at gifting so I never know for sure) that it would be OK with me if she edited it out of the unboxing vid. She didn't and I was pleasantly surprised.

2023-05-20 10:24:39 +0000 UTCI admit it's due in part to my upbringing. It basically says not to do your deeds to be seen by men (or women).

2023-05-20 05:13:42 +0000 UTClol I've never sent anything to a reactor but this is totally you projecting. maybe for you receiving a gift is something intimate so anyone that does it in any kind of public way is automatically disingenuous, but that's just your opinion. it's also a cultural thing, from what i've gathered Dutch people for example like to make the whole family watch when they open their gifts during Christmas. it doesn't mean they're doing it for attention, it's just another way of doing things that is more collective than individual maybe.

2023-05-20 05:10:14 +0000 UTCOne complaint that I have about unboxing videos is that people want to draw attention to themselves. They just want to hear their names mentioned, and that's not why they should be sending gifts to reactors. I'm not saying that they shouldn't, but that should not be their motivation for doing it. It just seems to me that most of them do it for that reason. Some have suggested, and I agree, that along with the gift, a note should be sent if someone does not want their gift shown or name mentioned.

2023-05-20 03:05:39 +0000 UTCI had a lot of fun reading the guide and how the creator made them so perfect for the Buffyverse.

2023-05-20 02:56:30 +0000 UTCI didn’t know that about tarot decks!

2023-05-20 02:55:08 +0000 UTCYou should definitely only do what you feel comfortable doing and what makes sense to you! ❤️

2023-05-20 02:54:42 +0000 UTCI was already given that advice in a previous reply, but I'm always grateful to find out that others feel the same way. I will do that if I ever send anything.
Ron Fehr
2023-05-20 01:38:45 +0000 UTCI'm sure if you just let her know that you don't want any gift from you included in an unboxing vid she will honor your request.

2023-05-20 00:49:48 +0000 UTCI'll just copy/paste my comment from YouTube for this vid: The tradition is that tarot decks are always supposed to be gifted, never bought yourself, so Sandy did you a solid. The implication is that decks you buy yourself don't work while gifted decks do. (Big-Tarot does NOT want you to know this.)

2023-05-20 00:42:33 +0000 UTCI appreciate your advice, Megan. If I ever do send something to a reactor, or whatever he/she may be, I'll take your advice and do that. I'm sorry about posting my earlier comment, but at the moment I just felt the need to vent my feelings.
Ron Fehr
2023-05-19 22:55:35 +0000 UTCOkay? Clearly some people either don't care or like her sharing the reaction. They could always just send a message or put in a note asking her not to include the reaction in the video.

2023-05-19 22:49:40 +0000 UTCI haven't sent you anything...yet. Actually I haven't done it for any reactors I've watch so far. But even if I did, I would prefer that they not be shown on video. Sending gifts is a personal thing, not something that anyone needs to see. And that's why I don't watch unboxing videos. I'll watch other ones, but not those.

2023-05-19 22:42:07 +0000 UTCliterally adore them!! i don’t know anything about tarot but i’m already invested and learning bc of them haha and i can not waittttt to read that book to him 🥹

2023-05-19 22:30:37 +0000 UTCYAY! I'm so glad you liked your tarot deck. Hope you enjoy it! PS When you read the Buffy children's book to your nephew...there's a dedication for all the tough girls who are also afraid of the dark. I always add "boys" because boys are scared too. Well, my six year old is!
