2023.06.03 22:58 Mr_Nex [WTS] PNW Toast, Vox Designs Dirty Raccoon, RGT Clip, MXG Clip, Saddleback Satchel & More!
Hey EDC Exchange -
Thanks for checking out my post! Re-listing a few things with price drops and added a few new items for your perusal. I am the original owner on all items listed EXCEPT the RGT clip.
First, let’s look at that timestamp!
First, a VoxDesign “Dirty” Raccoon - 3/8” in brass. Purchased new from UrbanEDC in July of 2022. I have way too many of these “bottle openers” from VoxDesign, and this one has never been carried or used…it should go to someone who will appreciate it. Basically new condition. Includes original bag and card. Item was $165 new.
Video here.
Raccoon is SV:$140 $120 $100 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS. Final price drop on this before I just hang on to it.
Next up, a PNW Toast Co. Toast! This was purchased from UrbanEDC in June of 2021. This was an Urban EDC exclusive with a layer of Tiffany G10 sandwiched between Stabwood on one side and and Canvas Micarta on the other. Very cool little force multiplier, but I never ended up carrying it. Also purchased a brown Breadbox Slip (leather sheath) from Redeemed Creations that same month. Also never carried (although I did slip the toast in and out of it a few times, so it’s not “mint”). Toast includes original COA and paper bag wrapping. Item is like new. Toast was $189 new, sheath was $30.

Toast & Slip are SV: $200 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS.
Next, a Peak Eiger Ultra X in brass. Purchased directly from Peak in 2017, I’ve carried this a handful of times, but never really fell in love with the twisty style interface. This is the Hi-CRI version with narrow beam, includes the tail switch (momentary) and clip (which I think is a Preon clip, but I don’t actually remember…I did have to pick it up separately). Beam is lovely, light is in good shape. Runs off a 10440 Li-ion cell ONLY (not included). Light (without clip) was $85 new.
Photos here.
Peak is SV: $50 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS.
Next, a Ripp’s Garage Tech Polished Timascus clip for CRK. This came to me installed on a Large Inkosi I got on the Swap. I left it on, carried it twice, and decided it was just a touch too fancy for me. Removed the clip and it ended up in a drawer for a year or two, and was recently re-discovered. Clip is in good shape, although there are a couple very small spots on the left side of the clip that look like wear to me, I did my best to picture them. Otherwise, this is a great opportunity to set your CRK apart. These go for about $130 new, I believe.

RGT Clip is SV: $80 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS.
Next, an MXG Titanium Deep Carry clip for Spyderco knives. I got a couple clips from MXG trying to find a good match for my Swayback, this didn’t make the cut, but I liked the clip and kept thinking I’d find a home for it…never did. Time to move it on! It was very briefly installed on the Swayback, but never carried. It’s in essentially new condition. Originally $25.

MXG Clip is SV: $15 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS.
Then we’ve got a Tanner Goods Document Folio in black. I got this from a sample sale grab bag about 10 years ago and loved it, but wanted it in brown. So, promptly ordered the cognac version and put this one away. It’s doing nobody any good stashed away, so it’s time to let it go. It’s made from a single piece of 5.5 oz vegetable tanned Meridian English Bridle leather, with brass studs. Features a felted wool sleeve. Aside from the “S” stamp (see pictures) I can find nothing that differentiates this folio from the full-price one I purchased at the same time. The case measures 12” long by 9” wide. Tanner Goods doesn’t make these anymore, if you’re looking for an elegant way to transport your documents (or iPad), this is a damn fine way to do it. Originally sold for $200.

Folio is SV:$100 $60 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS.
Lastly, a Galway vertical snap wallet from Blackthorn Leather. I purchased this back in 2018 and carried it a half-dozen times. It’s a great wallet, I just prefer a “trucker wallet” style form factor. Construction is SOLID, the wallet feels bombproof. Wallet is in excellent condition. Item is constructed from hand-dyed, full-grain vegetable tanned leather and lined with plaid accent fabric. Measures 3.5” x 4.75” closed. The concho is a very well done reproduction Walking Liberty quarter (the coin collectors in your life will thank you). Item was $115 new.
Photos here.
Wallet is SV: $65 $50 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS. SOLD!!
FINALLY, the last item up for today is a Saddleback Leather - Large Satchel in Coffee Brown. Got this back in November of 2012 to replace a Large Briefcase that was too large. It was carried a bunch in an office environment, but was ultimately replaced by a Mountainback Large Satchel in 2016. The large satchel is no longer available (in fact, none of the bags I just mentioned are still available), so this is your chance to pick up this beautiful leather bag that is tired of living in my closet. I’m including an older Saddleback leather slip case. I’ve used it to carry iPhone/iPad chargers, but it can work for loads of different uses. Also including a set of two leather utility straps that Saddleback used to offer that I kept laced in the D-rings on the bottom of the bag (great for carrying a jacket or sweater).
Loads more information about the bag can be found via this review: https://bestleather.org/saddleback-leather-large-satchel-review-408/
Photos here.
Satchel was $350 new. SV is $240 via PayPal FF (no notes), shipped via USPS (I think, might need to go UPS). This is also available for local pick-up for $200 here in Southern California.
…and that’s all. Happy to entertain reasonable offers (or combine shipping), but I am definitely looking to sell (not trade). Thanks for looking and please feel free to reach out with any questions.

2023.06.03 22:55 Sea-Sympathy5350 One hell of a night
Last night, I had just returned from a celebration of my sisters 21st birthday, I am 27, so me and my parents and several of her friends went to the bar, we stayed until almost closing, I had driven one of my cars to the bar, but was a bit over the limit okay, I was too drunk to drive, so I called for a Uber to drive me and my sister home. My parents left at 1am, as they were still sober. I had the driver drop off my sister first, after carrying her into her apartment, then we headed to my house. As soon as we turned the corner, I could see my other car missing from my driveway. I got out and I was mad as hell, I looked but there was no broken glass or any signs of how it was taken. I walked into my house, I immediately sobered up with the realization my car had been stolen. I started the search for the license plate number, vin number and my insurance company phone number. I was on the phone with the police when there was a knock, no let me rephrase that, there was banging on my front door. When I open it, 2 police officers were standing there, I said wow, that was quick, they looked at me funny, asked if I owned a 2014 jeep in black, I replied, yes did you find it already. They just looked at me and told me to place my hands behind my back, I said why, they didn’t say anything and just grabbed me and then threw me to the ground and handcuffed me. I was dragged out of my house and placed into the back of a patrol car and taken to the station.
At the station I was fingerprinted, photographed, searched and my blood was drawn, then they took my shoes and belt. I was placed into a cell, while all the time asking what the hell was going on, 3 hours later I was taken from the cell into an interrogation room, I sat there for about another 4 hours before anyone came in, all this time I was not allowed to call or speak to anyone, I still had no idea why the had me like this.
Finally, a detective came in and sat across from me and once again asked if I owned a black 2014 jeep, then he gave me the license number, I said yes, it was missing from my driveway, I was in the process of calling the police when they showed up. He said we will get to that later. He started asking where I had been last night, I told him at a celebration for my sister’s birthday, he asked who was there with me, I gave everyone’s names and as many phone numbers as I could. I said I wanted to know what the hell was going on, he said that I was under arrest for vehicular manslaughter, hit and run, leaving the scene of a crime, and a few more just for good measure. I said again my car was stolen and I had nothing to do with this at all. They pulled out pictures of the accident and the dead bodies, yes there were 3 teens killed from the other car.
I said I wasn’t driving that car; they could verify by contacting the bar, I spoke with the bartender all night, I had even spoke with the bouncer while I was waiting for my Uber. They could also call Uber to confirm I was being driven from that bar and the times. They didn’t believe me at all, they took me back to a cell. This is where I sat for another 7 hours waiting for anything from them. Now I have been in their custody for more than 16 hours.
That’s when they took me from my cell, returned all my belongings, then I was escorted back to the interrogation room this time without cuffs, the detective came back in and he placed a picture in front of me, asked if I knew this person. I did, he was a kid from down the street, I had caught him siphoning gas from one of my cars a few months ago. They told me they found him hiding behind a trash bin close to the accident, he had a broken collar bone and a couple broken ribs. This was the person who stole my car and crashed it into the other car while on a joy ride. They basically told me I was free to go, no apology, no shaking of my hand, just a cold uncaring sense as to what they had just done to me over the past 18 hours of my life. They walked me to the jail gate, and said here’s the case number, I asked If they were going to drive me back home, they said no, it was up to me to find my own transportation. Luckily my car was still at the bar I was at the night before, it was only about a mile away, so I walked, got my car and drove home. I called the insurance company, gave them all the information as well as the case number and I went to sleep. I know there will be more but that is as far as everything stands as of right now.

2023.06.03 22:53 JoshAsdvgi THE LEGEND OF MANITOUS SPRINGS
 | submitted by JoshAsdvgi to Native_Stories [link] [comments] THE LEGEND OF MANITOUS SPRINGS A Comanche Legend The Snakes, in common with all Indians, possess hereditary legends to account for all natural phenomena, or any extraordinary occurrences which are beyond their comprehension. Of course, they have their legendary version of the causes which created in the midst of their hunting grounds these two springs of sweet and bitter water; which are also intimately connected with the cause of separation between the tribes of "Comanche" and the "Snake." Thus runs the legend: Many hundreds of winters ago, when the cottonwoods on the Big River were no higher than an arrow, and the red men, who hunted the buffalo on the plains all spoke the same language, and the pipe of peace breathed its social cloud of Kinnik-Kinnick whenever two parties of hunters met on the boundless plains--where, with hunting grounds and game of every kind in the greatest abundance, no nation dug up the hatchet with another because one of its hunters followed the game into their bounds, but, on the contrary, loaded for him his back with choice and fattest meat, and ever proffered the soothing pipe before the stranger, with well filled belly, left the village. It happened that two hunters of different nations met one day on a small rivulet where both had repaired to quench their thirst. A little stream of water, rising from a spring on a rock within a few feet of the bank, trickled over it, and fell splashing into the river. To this the hunters repaired; and while one sought the spring itself, where the water, cold and clear, reflected on its surface the image of the surrounding scenery, the other, tired by his exertions in the chase, threw himself at once to the ground, and plunged his face into the running stream. The latter had been unsuccessful in the chase, and perhaps his bad fortune and the sight of the fat deer which the other hunter threw from his back before he drank at the crystal spring, caused a feeling of jealousy and ill humor to take possession of his mind. The other on the contrary, before he satisfied his thirst, raised in the hollow of his hand a portion of the water, and lifting it toward the sun, reversed his hand and allowed it to fall upon the ground--a libation to the Great Spirit Manitou who had vouchsafed him a successful hunt and the blessing of the refreshing water with which he was about to quench his thirst. Seeing this, and being reminded that he had neglected the usual offering, only increased the feeling of envy and annoyance which the unsuccessful hunter permitted to get the mastery of his heart; and the Evil Spirit at that moment entering his body, his temper fairly flew away and he sought some pretense by which to provoke a quarrel with the stranger Indian at the spring. "Why does a stranger, " he asked, rising from the stream at the same time, "drink at the spring head, when one to whom the fountain belongs contents himself with the water that runs from it?" "The Great Spirit Manitou places the cool water at the spring," answered the other hunter, "that his children may drink it pure and undefiled. The running water is for the beasts which scour the plains. Au-sa-qua is a chief of the Shoshone; he drinks at the headwater." "The Shoshone is but a tribe of the Comanche," returned the other: "Waco- mish leads the grand nation. Why does a Shoshone dare to drink above him?" "He has said it. The Shoshone drinks at the spring-head; other nations of the stream which runs into the fields. Au-sa-qua is the chief of his nation. The Comanches are brothers. Let them both drink of the same water." "The Shoshone pays tribute to the Comanche. Waco-mish leads that nation to war. Waco-mish is chief of the Shoshone as he is of his own people." Waco-mish lies; his tongue is forked like the rattlesnake's; his heart is black as the Misho-tunga (bad spirit). When the Manitou made his children, whether Shoshone or Comanche, Arapahoe, Shian or Paine, he gave them buffalo to eat and the pure water of the fountain to quench their thirst. He said not to one, drink here, and to another drink there; but gave the crystal spring to all that all might drink." "Waco-mish almost burst with rage as the other spoke; but his coward heart alone prevented him from provoking an encounter with the calm Shoshone. He made thirsty by the words he had spoken,--for the red man is ever sparing of his tongue,--again stooped down to the spring to quench his thirst, when the subtle warrior of the Comanche suddenly threw himself upon the kneeling hunter and, forcing his head into the bubbling water, held him down with all his strength until his victim no longer struggled, his stiffened limbs relaxed, and he fell forward over the spring, drowned and dead. Over the body stood the murderer, and no sooner was the deed of blood consummated than bitter remorse took possession of his mind where before had reigned the fiercest passion and vindictive hate. With hands clasped to his forehead he stood transfixed with horror, intently gazing on his victim whose head still remained immersed in the fountain. Mechanically he dragged the body a few paces from the water, which, as soon as the head of the dead Indian was withdrawn, the Comanche saw suddenly and strangely disturbed. Bubbles sprang up from the bottom, and rising to the surface escaped in hissing gas. A thin vaporish cloud arose and gradually dissolving, displayed to the eyes of the trembling murderer the figure of an aged Indian whose long, snowy hair and venerable beard, blown aside by a gentle air from his breast, discovered the well-known totem of the great Wau-kau-aga, the father of the Comanche and Shoshone nation whom the tradition of the tribe, handed down by skilful hieroglyphics, almost deified for the good actions and deeds of bravery this famous warrior had performed when on Earth. Stretching out a war club toward the murderer, the figure thus addressed him: "Accursed of my tribe ! this day thou has severed the link between the mightiest nations of the world, while the blood of the brave Shoshone cries to the Manitou for vengeance. May the water of thy tribe be rank and bitter in their throats." Thus saying, and swinging his ponderous war club (made from the elk's horn) round his head, he dashed out the brains of the Comanche, who fell headlong into the spring, which from that day to the present moment remains rank and nauseous, so that not even when half dead with thirst, can one drink of the foul water of that spring. The good Wau-kau-aga, however, to perpetuate the memory of the Shoshone warrior, who was renowned in his tribe for valor and nobleness of heart, struck with the same avenging club a hard, flat rock which overhung the rivulet, just out of sight of this scene of blood; and forthwith, the rock opened into a round, clear basin which instantly filled with bubbling, sparkling water, than which no thirsty hunter ever drank a sweeter or a cooler draught. Thus the two springs remain, an everlasting memento of the foul murder of the brave Shoshone and the stern justice of the good Wau-kau-aga; and from that day two mighty tribes of the Shoshone and Comanche have remained severed and apart; although a long and bloody war followed the treacherous murder of the Shoshone chief, and many a scalp torn from the head of the Comanche paid the penalty of his death. The American and Canadian trappers assert that the numerous springs which, under the head of beer, soda, steamboat, springs, etc., abound in the Rocky Mountains, are the spots where his Satanic majesty comes up from his kitchen to breathe the sweet, fresh air, which must doubtless be refreshing to his worship after a few hours spent in superintending the culinary process going on below. |
2023.06.03 22:33 No_Coach8840 My family is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with the Boomer generation in India.
Dad:
Born in the 50s to a government school teacher. Had 6 siblings which is very typical of his generation. Manages to get a B.Tech Chemical Engineering seat in Andhra University with full scholarship. Their family was so poor, they couldn't even buy him shoes to send him off to college. Gets into college. Gets bullied for being poor. Some rich kids fuck up his titration in a lab and nearly get him failed which would have costed him his scholarship.
Dates someone during his M.Tech in AU. Gets married. Drops out of M.Tech. Has an ugly fight with his wife. He beats her. She divorces him and reports him to the police. My dad at that time had a job offer in the gulf in one of those petrol refining plants. Because of his police case his Visa or Passport is cancelled. He loses custody of his child.
Mom:
Born to a CA. Surprisingly had just 1 sister. His dad was dirt poor initially. He starts helping some of the most prominent builders get away without paying taxes. He would literally hold their money in his house when they were about to get audited. If you don't know, being a CA in the 50s or 60s in India is essentially like being a Machine learning scientist with a Ph.D. in 2023. Leaves his kids property worth 15 crores. My mom gets a B.Com from Reddy college in Narayanaguda. Gets married off to an asshole. He beats her a lot. Abuses her. She divorces him. The society back then was ridiculously conservative. She gets bullied a fuck of a lot because of her divorce.
She still finds the courage to go to Maharashtra to do a LL.B. Drops off in the second year and marries my dad because her father is very sick.
The quintessential 90s marriage:
My dad has a lot of unresolved emotional issues. He brought his mom to live with them. He accuses my mom of not taking good care of her. They fight a lot. I was born. My dad loses job several times. My mom sells her jewellery to finance my schooling. In my 10th, her sister passes away. She sells of a land that her dad left her. Takes me to Hyderabad to get me IIT coaching. I experience freedom for the first time in my life. My dad is no longer there to control me. I buy expensive computer parts and phones. I stopped attending school. Somehow managed to get my 10th and 12th diplomas anyways. Get into a shitty college in Vizag for B.Tech. Labor through it. Get a Masters from a prominent college in America. Get some really nice paying jobs.
Now my mom is still living with my dad. I caught him hitting my mom last year when I was in India. I gave him two slaps and pinned him to the ground. Threaten to call the police on him. He starts crying and shit. In the past he forced my mom to give one of the houses my grand father left her for rent. The tenant is refusing to vacate. We have essentially lost that property. My asshole father refuses to help with that situation in any way. He straight up went to the tenant and asked him to buy the house. He is using that as a leverage to fight with us every time we ask him to vacate the house.
My mom gives another land she owns to development. That builder is trying to get her to sell all her shares of apartments for a lot of Black money. I am fighting with her like crazy. She is like my father is a CA I know how to adjust black money :
I am fed up of my life. Fed up of this shitty family politics.

Somehow managed to get my 10th and 12th diplomas anyways. Get into a shitty college in Vizag for B.Tech. Labor through it. Get a Masters from a prominent college in America. Get some really nice paying jobs.
Now my mom is still living with my dad. I caught him hitting my mom last year when I was in India. I gave him two slaps and pinned him to the ground. Threaten to call the police on him. He starts crying and shit. In the past he forced my mom to give one of the houses my grand father left her for rent. The tenant is refusing to vacate. We have essentially lost that property. My asshole father refuses to help with that situation in any way. He straight up went to the tenant and asked him to buy the house. He is using that as a leverage to fight with us every time we ask him to vacate the house.
My mom gives another land she owns to development. That builder is trying to get her to sell all her shares of apartments for a lot of Black money. I am fighting with her like crazy. She is like my father is a CA I know how to adjust black money :
I am fed up of my life. Fed up of this shitty family politics.
2023.06.03 22:25 InkDiamond [PI] It’s the end of the universe. To celebrate, you just want to chill with your best friend. After all, he’s the only other remaining person in the whole world. But to your surprise, he reveals that you’re not the only one invited to his party…
Marc gave it another go. He tipped his hand forward. The silver patty rolled off him, dropping toward the cave floor.
It stopped short of hitting the path. The shiny disc halted in the air, dangling at the end of a thin white line.
He watched the small wheel spin. It might have been the most fun he’d had all year. Even more fun than that mud puddle he’d found the other day.
How does it keep going? Marc thought to himself. And without any power??
Marc assumed the disc was some sort of technological marvel from the past. But the Archives had little information on it, only a name. It was called a “yo-yo.”
They all must have had one of these, he posited.
As Marc walked down the stone ramp, he cast the yo-yo again. The toy’s quiet spin was the only sound in the cavern. The soft hiss of string versus metal reverberated gently in the spacious cave.
Marc focused all his attention on the little gadget. He was determined to enjoy every last minute of the universe, no matter what. And that evening, the yo-yo more than accomplished that goal.
The shimmering yo-yo, however, couldn’t prevent the world around him from crumbling. The ground started to rumble. The rest of the cave shook with it. The underground city shook as the plasma storm above battered it—and the rest of the planet.
Marc’s home broke down. Cracks appeared in the ceiling. Waterfalls of dust poured out of them. It wouldn't be long before the whole thing collapsed. That is, if the plasma storm didn’t swallow it whole first.
Whatever.
A few clumps of dirt wouldn’t ruin Marc’s fun. He pulled the hood of his shawl over his head and extended his ragged sleeves toward each hand. His clothes shielded him from the falling dust; the gritty particles made themselves at home on his messy shawl. And Marc was free to perfect his newest trick.
The rumbling died down though as Marc descended the ramp. The yo-yo string didn’t wobble so much, and he didn't have to watch his steps as carefully. He just hoped the quaking wouldn’t come back to ruin his event.
Speaking of which, Marc glanced ahead toward his destination below. What he saw rocked him even harder than the earthquake had.
What in the sinkpits…?
Marc stopped in his tracks. He even started to reach for his knife. All because he’d detected a speck of something suspicious. Something he didn't see much of every day: color.
Showy landmarks weren’t something endemic to his home. The Outpost was more of a dusty gray-and-brown sort of place. The walls were sandstone. The floor was sandstone. And the ceiling? …Granite?
No, sandstone. All under the faint glow of a string of depressed lightbulbs.
The intriguing blip in the gray-and-tan collage was farther up the path. Ahead of the ramp, on Level 8, Marc saw the same three steel doors he was used to seeing. The front doors of underground homes, lined up in a row, each closed into the cave wall.
However, there was something different about the third door. It looked… alive. Like it didn’t belong in a dreary place like the Outpost. But it was too far away to tell what exactly had been done to it.
Marc squinted at it suspiciously. The third door happened to be his destination. And now it was weird.
He considered waiting and observing the mutated door. A child of the Outpost, Marc had developed a healthy fear of the unusual.
These habits, along with his instincts, kept him safe. They’d specifically preserved him while the rest of humanity perished.
But he shrugged off the instinct to wait. Something new and “different” was ahead, and he wanted to see it.
But just as a precaution, it was time for his yo-yo’s last trick. He got in one final throw then placed the toy into his satchel. He dropped it on top of his arsenal of cables, wrenches, and screwdrivers.
And by the time he’d snapped the satchel shut, the long ramp had bottomed out. He’d made it to the next level.
To his left, the wall had been spray-painted. Scrawled-out black letters stood against the sandy background. They stated, “Now Level 8.”
Marc followed the sign. He stayed close to the wall, crossing to the stone pedestrian path. He passed one untouched steel door with a dusted-over mail slot in the wall beside it. Then he passed a second home—abandoned like the first. And finally, he arrived at his friend’s place and the mysterious blip on Level 8.
To his surprise, the steel door elicited a flush of emotion. His heart floated upward. And the portrait before him drew his focus in like an otherworldly beacon.
How did it get so…?
Marc pulled back his hood. The ground popped with the sandy grains he released.
He could hardly believe the difference. The door used to blend in with the others: another ridged steel face that spent most of its time rusting or collecting dirt.
But it was no longer muffled by the dust and dirt that had built up over the years.
Today, it sung. Paint streaks flew across its visage. They swirled and spiraled, forming stars and other shapes. Where previously gray and rust dominated, colors sprang forth—colors that Marc didn't even have the names for. They were many, and they were warm, like the evening sky just after sunset. Marc could hardly wrap his head around the entire image.
He swelled with gratitude.
Only you could have pulled this off. He thought of his friend, the painter. The one person in the colony who’d ever been any fun. The one other person in the colony who was left…
The artist had done the unthinkable. Foraging the garden below for something other than food. Spending work time measuring and concocting the perfect blends of paint. And then slathering their fingers across the giant door, until its old face was but a memory. And all that effort for only a single other person to appreciate.
Newly inspired, Marc searched for an unpainted space on the metal canvas. He found one and knocked on the door.
He took a step back and waited. The outside of the Outpost was lively. Excited wind rushed through the canyon.
By contrast, the Outpost itself was silent. If there was anyone left to say anything, they may have even called it “dead.”
Or nearly dead, anyway. The last morsel of it came to life as the door in front of Marc groaned.
It floated off the ground, inching upward. On the other side, Marc could hear a hand crank clicking away.
Ktch… ktch… ktch… ktch…
The corrugated door lifted, and the door rolled up. The tip of the artist’s painting started to slip from view.
Ktch… ktch… ktch… ktch…
Behind the door, chains reeled at a slow clip. The heavy curtain was halfway up. Marc could now see his best friend's lower half. Buff Lenorkian legs pumped back and forth with each crank.
The door unveiled even more of the owner. A torso in a metal suit appeared. Four ripped arms stretched out of it. They rotated, moving to the clicking beats of the door.
Ktch… ktch… ktch… ktch…
The door raised a few inches further, uncovering the bottom half of a cobalt blue face. Two rows of razor-sharp teeth smiled from ear to ear. A few inches more, and Marc could see the whole of the Lenorkian’s face.
Sid greeted Marc as the last of the door raised.
“Finally!” he said.
Marc didn’t get a chance to respond. His body lurched forward involuntarily. He slammed into Sid’s metal suit.
Crrrrrick!
The armor squealed as Sid’s upper two arms squeezed him tighter. The lower set of arms had reeled Marc in.
Marc hated hugs. Stupid mushy emotional wraparounds. But just this one final time, Marc returned the gesture. He squeezed Sid back.
“Happy Worlds’ End!” Sid said from the other side of the embrace.
“Yeah,” Marc replied, “Happy Worlds’ End.”
The two separated.
“Cool painting, by the way,” Marc said. He pointed at the rolled-up door. “I didn’t think you’d top the one in the garden.”
“You think so?” Sid sheepishly smiled. “Well I’ve had more time to practice since… you know.”
“Yeah, I get it,” Marc said. “Me too. That’s how I actually got you something.”
Marc swung his heavy satchel around. He rifled through it, squeezing through cables, knocking handles and parts out of the way. And then—ah.
He fished out a crumpled rag. Holding it in one hand, he began to gently unfold it.
“I found this a few days ago in the garden,” he said. The edges of the cloth fell. They revealed a small, glass object. It sparkled.
Marc continued, “I think it fits your style—I mean, I know it’s a little smudged and chipped but...”
He swirled the crystal trinket around. The cavern’s incandescent light flittered across its clear edges.
He touched it too, tracing the slender portion of it with his thumb. It was the neck of the crystal swan.
“It’s yours,” Marc said, offering up the bird.
Sid cupped two shovel-sized hands and accepted the gift.
“It’s beautiful…” he said, examining it. “I can’t believe anything like this could have survived this long.” He looked up at Marc and smiled, “Thank you so much. I just wish I had a little longer to could enjoy it.”
They chuckled lightly about their impending obliteration.
“Well, come on in,” Sid said. He extended both of his left arms. They gestured toward the cave interior. “We’ll finish off this universe how it started,” he said. He mashed his upper two fists together. “With a bang!”
“I hear that!” Marc nodded. He crossed over into Sid’s house.
As Marc passed Sid, a wave of discomfort hit him. Sid had switched out his usual t-shirt and jeans. He wore old armor instead. And the metal plating taunted Marc.
Marc’s next question came out more accusatory than curious.
“So… a Lenorkian throwback, huh?” he asked Sid.
Sid had just finished finding the perfect home for his swan. He left it on a shelf next to the front door.
He turned to face Marc. He hid his embarrassment behind a jagged smile.
“Oh!” he said. “Uhhh…” Three of Sid’s arms disappeared behind his back. The cone-shaped cuffs at the end of each wrist clanked against the back of his chest armor. The fourth arm nervously scratched his blue head. “I don’t know,” he said. “It's stupid, I guess. I can take it off… if you want.”
Marc didn’t want to address the topic head-on. He stopped in the cave’s entry. He pretended to admire the walls—as if he’d never seen sandstone before.
“No, leave it on,” he said. “You look… like a true Lenorkian.” He turn around and forced a smile.
It wasn’t enough.
“Okay, let’s get this out of the way,” Sid said. He marched up to Marc.
Sid took a deep breath before he spoke.
“Tonight's really important to me,” he continued. “This is the last impression anyone’s going to make on the universe. So I need you on board.” He continued staring down at Marc. “Can you do that? For me?”
Marc didn’t see what the big deal was. It was just a couple of best friends hanging out.
“Yeah, why not?” he shrugged. “End it the way it started.”
The exchange turned into awkward silence. Neither knew what to do next. They had never been in a situation like this before—never attended such an event. What the Archives called: a par-ty.
Sid shook off the figurative mask he’d been wearing—one that was uncharacteristically dour. His eyes lightened, and he bobbed his head knowingly.
“I went through the Archives to see how this works,” he said. He walked toward the long horizontal counter against the wall—the kitchen.
On the counter, chaos ran wild. Bowls and kitchenware spread across the surface. And the insides of his pots and pans resembled the dirty mouth of a garbage chute.
Marc wasn’t sure what to think. Was cleaning the host’s kitchen a staple of ancient parties?
Sid too seemed a bit confused. His next words came out robotically, as if he was practicing a new word he’d learned.
“’Can-I-offer-you-a-drink?’” Sid asked. He stood nervously in front of the counter.
Looking closer at it, three unusual objects stood apart from the kitchenware mess. It took Marc a while to remember what their outdated, bendy material was called.
Plastic. Three pink and plastic cups sat equidistant from one another.
“I got these from here,” Sid reached under the counter and pulled up some sort of transparent bag. Pink cups just liked the others were stacked on top of each other inside.
Sid packed the bag back under the counter.
“So?” he asked after he finished. He held all four hands together in anticipation. His smile may have looked like an industrial-grade rock shredder, but it was hard to resist his innocent blue face and big wide eyes.
Marc eyed the pink cups one last time.
“This better not kill me,” he said.
Sid wasted no time. He excitedly grabbed a cup and walked over to a large pot sitting on the counter.
Using a nearby ladle, he plunged into the vat. An unappetizing sloshing sound resulted. And Sid, as strong as he was, seemed to struggle with scooping out some of the mystery liquid. But in the end, he pulled back the ladle and unloaded an opaque, muddy liquid into the cup.
“It's a homeworld classic called fludge,” Sid said as he finished pouring.
He treaded over to his reluctant friend and handed off the plastic cup.
“Did you say ‘fludge’?” Marc asked. He swished the cup around cautiously. The earthy liquid hardly budged.
“Yeah, fludge! Us Lenorkians invented it. It’s kind of the only tasty thing we ever bothered to make.”
Marc sniffed it. It smelled… burnt? Maybe a little dusty, too? But he could have just been smelling the cave.
Sid left Marc alone with Marc’s questionable new assignment. He returned to the pot to pour himself a drink.
“Just try it!” he said.
Marc looked down again at the dark soup. It could kill him. Or maybe it wouldn't.
Either way, it was his last drink.
He took a timid sip and waited to be repulsed. The fludge trickled to the back of his tongue. As it hit, Marc’s eyes widened. But not with regret.
He swallowed.
“Now wait a minute…” he said. He smacked his lips together. Then he took another, larger sip.
This curious dark liquid had a unique taste to it. The taste was earthen—but unoffending. It also had a subtle undercurrent of sweetness to it, combined with a spicy kick. It was delicious.
“This might be the best drink in the entire Outpost!” Marc exclaimed.
Pure joy bloomed on Sid’s face. “See! I told you: the greatest thing we ever made.”
He held his own cup above his open jaws. The falling fludge was no match for the alien. He guzzled it down, licked his lips, and then went back for more.
As Sid fashioned himself another drink, Marc noticed something a tad unsettling. A third pink cup stared back at him. It prompted an uncomfortable thought, but he shoved the thought back down.
The Lenorkian carried back his second drink. Though this time, he took it in small, human-sized sips.
But he quickly reanimated. In the middle of a sip, Sid got a wild look in his eyes. His irises turned from their natural violet to scarlet. He yanked the cup from his face and swallowed.
“Argh, how did I forget?” he said. “I got music!”
Marc cut his sip short too. “No way. You got music?”
“I think so!”
Sid did an about face. He slammed the half-empty cup on the counter. Then he shuffled toward a giant metal column protruding from the far wall. Four ink-blue hands wrapped around the cover of the vent. And he went for it.
Sid struggled to pull off the cover of the vent at first. His armor ballooned around his biceps as his muscles bulged outward. Yet the cover wouldn't budge.
But it seemed like an important part of his evening plans. He scolded the stubborn vent, banging on its top.
“Oh, you’re gonna get it now!” he said. He latched onto the vent again.
This time, he put even more effort in. To the point where Marc sensed that Sid was losing a grip on his own body. Out of his forehead, two thumb-sized cones began to rise. His breathing turned low and raspy. And his whole body seemed to expand as he repositioned himself for leverage. Then with one final pull, like a wild beast, he let out of a deep, guttural roar.
“HAWRRRRRRRRRRRGGH!” The roar echoed off the cave walls.
And with that, the stubborn vent cover finally popped off. A breath of wind pulsed through the room as the air pressure equalized itself.
But the wind wasn’t finished. After the initial pulse exited, a mighty gust picked up where the original pulse left off. The vent shot more wind into the room, but rapidly, like a storm. Tiny coarse particles rattled inside the duct. And in the room, a rush of wind whipped past Marc’s face. He felt little nips across his exposed skin as it passed him.
Both partiers shielded their faces from the most direct blasts of air. Sid smiled nervously as he looked to Marc. He raised his voice over the whining airstream.
“It’s from the sandplains above!” he said in an elevated voice. “I thought we’d use the sandstorm for music! Do you like it?”
Music… Marc wasn’t exactly an expert. Even though humans were said to be naturals at it, not much on the subject had made it into the Archives. The Outpost didn’t have much of it either. The closest he got was the occasional chant, stray birds twittering about, or maybe someone banging on rocks.
But Marc did know one thing on the subject. Where there was music, there was dancing.
That said, he had never danced before either. But a long time ago, his parents told him it was something all humans could do. It was something they carried in their blood. Once humans found a pattern in music, they could match it to their body language. And once they’d synced melody and movement, they could ride that wave to a whole new experience.
Might as well give it a shot, he thought. Marc too put his cup on the counter.
With his hands free, Marc backed up toward the middle of the room. He closed his eyes, felt the wind. It filled his ears with its gusty energy. It hit him in pumps as the storm raged above.
Though not totally predictable, the wind did hit him consistently. There was some sort of kinetic pattern to it.
Yes, a pattern.
Well actually, he’d heard it called by another name. What was that word his mother had used? He opened his eyes when he remembered: rhythm.
Marc stretched out his arms. He relaxed his hips. He felt the wind’s whips and waves across his arms. He let his arms follow them, swaying with the current. Not long after, his hips joined in. They too gyrated, trying to match the energetic gusts. He kept at it. And the first time Marc felt both himself and the wind moving together, he grinned.
“This is amazing!” he said. Around them, the wind crooned.
Sid was entranced. He nodded back while staring at Marc’s strange movements. He’d never really seen dancing either. But he figured he would give it a shot too. He loosened up his arms and walked onto the dance floor with Marc.
Before dancing himself, he studied Marc first. He watched how the scavenger moved his arms—and when the scavenger moved his arms.
Sid’s limbs followed. Four muscular arms rose in the air, like fighter jets on their way to a dogfight. And on a one or two second delay, they swayed after Marc’s.
For a while, they followed Marc completely. Then Sid went down his own path. The Lenorkian’s movements grew aggressive and battle-like. He punched at the wind swiping across him. He shuffled his feet as if swapping battle stances.
He caught Marc’s curiosity. Even as a novice, Marc could tell Sid’s movements weren’t traditional by any means. But to Marc, it was dancing all the same.
The two danced to the chorus of the air above. They laughed occasionally as changes in the rhythm of the wind tripped them up. In his head, Marc compared it to the painting on Sid’s door. The colony had never seen anything like this either.
Then something interrupted their dancing. The ground beneath them shook, throwing them off their feet. Heavy gray dirt trickled from the ceiling as the entire cave rumbled. And outside, the distant sky flashed and crackled. Its light illuminated the cave in violent spurts as the boys struggled to stand back up.
Eventually, the violent quaking and frightening flashes died down. The plasma storm held its breath once again.
The boys got back on their feet, but all the joy had seeped out of Sid’s face. He just stared at the floor in deep contemplation. Even as the windy music started back up.
Marc figured he would rescue his friend from whatever dark thoughts had turned up. Naturally, the end of the universe was a real bummer.
“End of the world got you down, huh?” He tried to laugh it off. The whole situation was pretty sad. Especially when they were having so much fun. But it was best to end the universe on a high note, right?
Nevertheless, Sid seemed dejected. He mumbled something inaudible.
“Dude, I can’t hear over the song!” Marc said in an elevated voice.
Sid spoke up over the wind. “That’s not what I’m upset about,” he said, his voice still fairly low.
“Then what are you upset about?”
Sid blurted out his response. “Because I invited Tōn-E, okay?”
He couldn’t bring himself to look Marc in the eye. Because he knew what was coming.
“YOU DID WHAT?!” Marc shouted over the music. Marc himself stomped over to the vent. He picked the cover off the floor—though he struggled quite a bit with it. It was heavier than Sid made it look. But he hoisted it back into the mouth of the vent. The music shut off. The steady drop of sand on the cave floor ceased.
“Say that again,” he leveled in Sid’s direction.
“What was I supposed to do?” Sid remade eye contact. “Not invite the only other intelligent being to the last party the universe will ever have?”
Marc needed no time to answer. He nodded insistently. “Yes. That was exactly what you were supposed to do. What the hell, Sid?” Marc would have continued, but there was another disturbance outside. He caught a glimpse of movement in the doorway.

“So… a Lenorkian throwback, huh?” he asked Sid.
Sid had just finished finding the perfect home for his swan. He left it on a shelf next to the front door.
He turned to face Marc. He hid his embarrassment behind a jagged smile.
“Oh!” he said. “Uhhh…” Three of Sid’s arms disappeared behind his back. The cone-shaped cuffs at the end of each wrist clanked against the back of his chest armor. The fourth arm nervously scratched his blue head. “I don’t know,” he said. “It's stupid, I guess. I can take it off… if you want.”
Marc didn’t want to address the topic head-on. He stopped in the cave’s entry. He pretended to admire the walls—as if he’d never seen sandstone before.
“No, leave it on,” he said. “You look… like a true Lenorkian.” He turn around and forced a smile.
It wasn’t enough.
“Okay, let’s get this out of the way,” Sid said. He marched up to Marc.
Sid took a deep breath before he spoke.
“Tonight's really important to me,” he continued. “This is the last impression anyone’s going to make on the universe. So I need you on board.” He continued staring down at Marc. “Can you do that? For me?”
Marc didn’t see what the big deal was. It was just a couple of best friends hanging out.
“Yeah, why not?” he shrugged. “End it the way it started.”
The exchange turned into awkward silence. Neither knew what to do next. They had never been in a situation like this before—never attended such an event. What the Archives called: a par-ty.
Sid shook off the figurative mask he’d been wearing—one that was uncharacteristically dour. His eyes lightened, and he bobbed his head knowingly.
“I went through the Archives to see how this works,” he said. He walked toward the long horizontal counter against the wall—the kitchen.
On the counter, chaos ran wild. Bowls and kitchenware spread across the surface. And the insides of his pots and pans resembled the dirty mouth of a garbage chute.
Marc wasn’t sure what to think. Was cleaning the host’s kitchen a staple of ancient parties?
Sid too seemed a bit confused. His next words came out robotically, as if he was practicing a new word he’d learned.
“’Can-I-offer-you-a-drink?’” Sid asked. He stood nervously in front of the counter.
Looking closer at it, three unusual objects stood apart from the kitchenware mess. It took Marc a while to remember what their outdated, bendy material was called.
Plastic. Three pink and plastic cups sat equidistant from one another.
“I got these from here,” Sid reached under the counter and pulled up some sort of transparent bag. Pink cups just liked the others were stacked on top of each other inside.
Sid packed the bag back under the counter.
“So?” he asked after he finished. He held all four hands together in anticipation. His smile may have looked like an industrial-grade rock shredder, but it was hard to resist his innocent blue face and big wide eyes.
Marc eyed the pink cups one last time.
“This better not kill me,” he said.
Sid wasted no time. He excitedly grabbed a cup and walked over to a large pot sitting on the counter.
Using a nearby ladle, he plunged into the vat. An unappetizing sloshing sound resulted. And Sid, as strong as he was, seemed to struggle with scooping out some of the mystery liquid. But in the end, he pulled back the ladle and unloaded an opaque, muddy liquid into the cup.
“It's a homeworld classic called fludge,” Sid said as he finished pouring.
He treaded over to his reluctant friend and handed off the plastic cup.
“Did you say ‘fludge’?” Marc asked. He swished the cup around cautiously. The earthy liquid hardly budged.
“Yeah, fludge! Us Lenorkians invented it. It’s kind of the only tasty thing we ever bothered to make.”
Marc sniffed it. It smelled… burnt? Maybe a little dusty, too? But he could have just been smelling the cave.
Sid left Marc alone with Marc’s questionable new assignment. He returned to the pot to pour himself a drink.
“Just try it!” he said.
Marc looked down again at the dark soup. It could kill him. Or maybe it wouldn't.
Either way, it was his last drink.
He took a timid sip and waited to be repulsed. The fludge trickled to the back of his tongue. As it hit, Marc’s eyes widened. But not with regret.
He swallowed.
“Now wait a minute…” he said. He smacked his lips together. Then he took another, larger sip.
This curious dark liquid had a unique taste to it. The taste was earthen—but unoffending. It also had a subtle undercurrent of sweetness to it, combined with a spicy kick. It was delicious.
“This might be the best drink in the entire Outpost!” Marc exclaimed.
Pure joy bloomed on Sid’s face. “See! I told you: the greatest thing we ever made.”
He held his own cup above his open jaws. The falling fludge was no match for the alien. He guzzled it down, licked his lips, and then went back for more.
As Sid fashioned himself another drink, Marc noticed something a tad unsettling. A third pink cup stared back at him. It prompted an uncomfortable thought, but he shoved the thought back down.
The Lenorkian carried back his second drink. Though this time, he took it in small, human-sized sips.
But he quickly reanimated. In the middle of a sip, Sid got a wild look in his eyes. His irises turned from their natural violet to scarlet. He yanked the cup from his face and swallowed.
“Argh, how did I forget?” he said. “I got music!”
Marc cut his sip short too. “No way. You got music?”
“I think so!”
Sid did an about face. He slammed the half-empty cup on the counter. Then he shuffled toward a giant metal column protruding from the far wall. Four ink-blue hands wrapped around the cover of the vent. And he went for it.
Sid struggled to pull off the cover of the vent at first. His armor ballooned around his biceps as his muscles bulged outward. Yet the cover wouldn't budge.
But it seemed like an important part of his evening plans. He scolded the stubborn vent, banging on its top.
“Oh, you’re gonna get it now!” he said. He latched onto the vent again.
This time, he put even more effort in. To the point where Marc sensed that Sid was losing a grip on his own body. Out of his forehead, two thumb-sized cones began to rise. His breathing turned low and raspy. And his whole body seemed to expand as he repositioned himself for leverage. Then with one final pull, like a wild beast, he let out of a deep, guttural roar.
“HAWRRRRRRRRRRRGGH!” The roar echoed off the cave walls.
And with that, the stubborn vent cover finally popped off. A breath of wind pulsed through the room as the air pressure equalized itself.
But the wind wasn’t finished. After the initial pulse exited, a mighty gust picked up where the original pulse left off. The vent shot more wind into the room, but rapidly, like a storm. Tiny coarse particles rattled inside the duct. And in the room, a rush of wind whipped past Marc’s face. He felt little nips across his exposed skin as it passed him.
Both partiers shielded their faces from the most direct blasts of air. Sid smiled nervously as he looked to Marc. He raised his voice over the whining airstream.
“It’s from the sandplains above!” he said in an elevated voice. “I thought we’d use the sandstorm for music! Do you like it?”
Music… Marc wasn’t exactly an expert. Even though humans were said to be naturals at it, not much on the subject had made it into the Archives. The Outpost didn’t have much of it either. The closest he got was the occasional chant, stray birds twittering about, or maybe someone banging on rocks.
But Marc did know one thing on the subject. Where there was music, there was dancing.
That said, he had never danced before either. But a long time ago, his parents told him it was something all humans could do. It was something they carried in their blood. Once humans found a pattern in music, they could match it to their body language. And once they’d synced melody and movement, they could ride that wave to a whole new experience.
Might as well give it a shot, he thought. Marc too put his cup on the counter.
With his hands free, Marc backed up toward the middle of the room. He closed his eyes, felt the wind. It filled his ears with its gusty energy. It hit him in pumps as the storm raged above.
Though not totally predictable, the wind did hit him consistently. There was some sort of kinetic pattern to it.
Yes, a pattern.
Well actually, he’d heard it called by another name. What was that word his mother had used? He opened his eyes when he remembered: rhythm.
Marc stretched out his arms. He relaxed his hips. He felt the wind’s whips and waves across his arms. He let his arms follow them, swaying with the current. Not long after, his hips joined in. They too gyrated, trying to match the energetic gusts. He kept at it. And the first time Marc felt both himself and the wind moving together, he grinned.
“This is amazing!” he said. Around them, the wind crooned.
Sid was entranced. He nodded back while staring at Marc’s strange movements. He’d never really seen dancing either. But he figured he would give it a shot too. He loosened up his arms and walked onto the dance floor with Marc.
Before dancing himself, he studied Marc first. He watched how the scavenger moved his arms—and when the scavenger moved his arms.
Sid’s limbs followed. Four muscular arms rose in the air, like fighter jets on their way to a dogfight. And on a one or two second delay, they swayed after Marc’s.
For a while, they followed Marc completely. Then Sid went down his own path. The Lenorkian’s movements grew aggressive and battle-like. He punched at the wind swiping across him. He shuffled his feet as if swapping battle stances.
He caught Marc’s curiosity. Even as a novice, Marc could tell Sid’s movements weren’t traditional by any means. But to Marc, it was dancing all the same.
The two danced to the chorus of the air above. They laughed occasionally as changes in the rhythm of the wind tripped them up. In his head, Marc compared it to the painting on Sid’s door. The colony had never seen anything like this either.
Then something interrupted their dancing. The ground beneath them shook, throwing them off their feet. Heavy gray dirt trickled from the ceiling as the entire cave rumbled. And outside, the distant sky flashed and crackled. Its light illuminated the cave in violent spurts as the boys struggled to stand back up.
Eventually, the violent quaking and frightening flashes died down. The plasma storm held its breath once again.
The boys got back on their feet, but all the joy had seeped out of Sid’s face. He just stared at the floor in deep contemplation. Even as the windy music started back up.
Marc figured he would rescue his friend from whatever dark thoughts had turned up. Naturally, the end of the universe was a real bummer.
“End of the world got you down, huh?” He tried to laugh it off. The whole situation was pretty sad. Especially when they were having so much fun. But it was best to end the universe on a high note, right?
Nevertheless, Sid seemed dejected. He mumbled something inaudible.
“Dude, I can’t hear over the song!” Marc said in an elevated voice.
Sid spoke up over the wind. “That’s not what I’m upset about,” he said, his voice still fairly low.
“Then what are you upset about?”
Sid blurted out his response. “Because I invited Tōn-E, okay?”
He couldn’t bring himself to look Marc in the eye. Because he knew what was coming.
“YOU DID WHAT?!” Marc shouted over the music. Marc himself stomped over to the vent. He picked the cover off the floor—though he struggled quite a bit with it. It was heavier than Sid made it look. But he hoisted it back into the mouth of the vent. The music shut off. The steady drop of sand on the cave floor ceased.
“Say that again,” he leveled in Sid’s direction.
“What was I supposed to do?” Sid remade eye contact. “Not invite the only other intelligent being to the last party the universe will ever have?”
Marc needed no time to answer. He nodded insistently. “Yes. That was exactly what you were supposed to do. What the hell, Sid?” Marc would have continued, but there was another disturbance outside. He caught a glimpse of movement in the doorway.

2023.06.03 20:57 Appropriate-Ad4657 Holy SHIT (Part 2: The Electric Boogaloo)
Hey team!
After such a lovely response last time, I thought I’d make another post now I’ve finished The Fires of Heaven!!!!! I once again stayed up all night to finish it so these are sleep deprived and slightly incoherent thoughts!!
I’m not going to lie I enjoyed this slightly less than TSR (although it was still excellent, don’t get me wrong!) but found it had less standout “oh my GOD holy SHIT” moments and fewer moments that made me well up with emotion (apart from the obvious one…) so I think I felt slightly less viscerally emotionally connected to the story overall.
I continue to be ASTOUNDED by the attention to detail and sheet level of world-building in this series. I know pages of description of the details of the environment, the clothes etc are not everyone’s cup of tea but it makes the world feel so much richer and fuller to me so I love it!
I have so much to say and I’m terrible at not rambling so BEAR WITH ME (this is long!) Here we go!
1. CAN WE TALK ABOUT MOIRAINE
Listen. Listen. I KNEW this was coming - the foreshadowing was HEAVY…Rhuidean…her desperation, the urgency of her imparting information to Rand, her cryptic references to leaving…my gal knew she was on a time crunch. But literally from the moment she appeared and Rand commented on her looking more beautiful and regal than normal, I was going oh no…oh no…oh NO…OH NO and when it actually happened I was CRUSHED.
I think particularly having read New Spring first, I was SO attached to Moiraine and her story and knowing how much she had sacrificed to get to this point and the dignity with which she faced the inevitable and knowingly sacrificed everything was gut-punching!
Lan’s reaction followed by her letter absolutely broke me (I cried)… You will do well…TATTOO THAT LINE ON ME. Ugh. Anyway.
I assume her letter to Thom contains the names of the Red sisters who went after his nephew but (and maybe slightly out of left field…) I think there miiiiiiight be something romantic there? I’m probably SO far wrong on this that everyone’s going to be like “wtf you idiot” but there’s been a couple of references to her giggling or laughing around him (super rare for main series Moiraine) and then off the back of that, she made that comment about knowing the face of the man she’s going to marry - and my instinctive reaction was oh THOM even though at the time I didn’t know why that was my instinctive reaction- and I thought the whole scene with the two of them in Tear was quite charged and flirty. Hmmmm. Like I said, a bit of a left field prediction but IF she comes back, maybe there’s going to be something there…or maybe everyone is reading this and thinking I’ve gone completely mad…time will tell!
On that note, I don’t believe either her or Lanfear are actually dead and I think both are going to re-appear at some point but I don’t imagine they’re going to have a great time trapped with the Elfin (in my head the Elfin are the foxes because they have elf like faces and Aelfin are the snakes because Ael sounds like eel…it doesn’t make sense, I don’t know if that’s right lmao) for however long they’re there for.
LISTEN. Her letter specifically says that she is “gone” but she doesn’t say dead!!! And she's Aes Sedai, she's SPECIFIC with her word choices for good reason!
And before you all come at me, I KNOW that Lan couldn’t feel the bond but a) we have no evidence that he can feel the bond across whatever land the red door leads to - it was never specifically commented on when Moiraine goes through the one in Tear and b) even if he can theoretically feel it when she’s in A/Elfin land, my personal theory is that destroying the frame effectively destroyed the only (known) way back and it’s the finality of there being no (known) way for her to return which effectively severs the bond (rather than her actual death). We definitely haven’t seen the last of the fox people and I really really (maybe wishful thinking) believe that she’s going to find a way back.
I also maybe read this wrong but we know that Moiraine specifically set up the angreal at the edge of the doorframe the day before she died and at first I just assumed it was so that everything happened exactly as she had seen in Rhuidean. But as she leaps at Lanfear, it says that she clawed it away from her but it’s unclear whether Moiraine is holding it as they go through the doorframe or whether it falls on the ground but I don’t think there’s any mention of it lying on the ground in the next chapter.
I know this is SUCH a small thing but knowing how intentional Jordan is with his writing, I find it hard to believe that not mentioning the angreal in the pages of description of the dock that follow isn’t a deliberate choice.
Therefore, I’m assuming Moiraine has hold of it as they go through the doorframe. We also don’t know if it’s a ter’angreal or a sa’angreal (interesting but I don’t know how much this matters?)
Knowing both how intentional Jordan is and in-world knowing how intentional and prepared Moiraine is, I can only assume setting this up was deliberate on her part. She had from Rhuidean to prepare for this moment and I’m also wondering if her vision in Rhuidean showed her going through the portal, maybe it also showed her a way to get back and the angreal is part of that.
I THINK that the angreal will either enable her to kill Lanfear on the otherside of the doorframe OR is somehow the key to enabling her to come back OR will help her to survive the fox people (or all of the above!)
My alternative theory (that I think is less good tbh) is that the angreal will help her survive +/- killing Lanfear and Rhuidean did show her a way to get back but it has to be done from outside the fox world and the key to getting her back is what’s in Thom’s letter??
I’m also now wondering if going through the doorway with an angreal was why it went absolutely haywire (in the same with the testing angreal interacted with Egwene’s dream one) or maybe that was just both women channelling as they fell through.
Both of my theories go to absolute shit if I’ve failed to pick up on the angreal still being in the real world lmao so let me know if I’m wrong on that!
2. ALVARIAN as Black Ajah!!!
That SHOCKED me! I guess I always thought that her motivations were aligned with her being White Ajah (very logical etc) and that she was, similarly to Elaida, not a nice person but not downright evil. Interesting!
3. I’m calling it now. Verin is Black Ajah.
I had my suspicions last book because this woman keeps turning up in places she has no right to be with weak-ass excuses as to why she’s there but Moiraines letter solidified it for me - why name Verin SPECIFICALLY alongside Alvarian who we KNOW is Black Ajah unless she knows something we don’t?? I’m willing to be proven wrong on this but my suspicions are strong!
4. Morgase!
LOVED these chapters! Rahvin’s compulsion is literally bone-chilling to me. Ugh. I’m concerned that her and Bryne are going to be like ships in the night given he’s now in Salidar and she’s on her way to Kor Spring and they’re just going to keep missing each other!
I love Lini and will be v sad if anything happens to her. She can look after Elayne and Rands babies whilst they’re fighting the Last Battle (I’m KIDDING lmao I don’t think that’s going to happen)
I also like Tallanvor a LOT. The scene where Lini (?) recounts seeing him sobbing and recanting his new oath made me irrationally very emotional.
6. Intrigued by Egwene’s character arc this book.
I…did not love what she did to Nynaeve in TAR…at all. It was…horrifying…and in many ways fundamentally changed how I view her as a character. I partially get it, in that she was teaching the way that she had been taught and whilst it was intended to be terrifying, I don’t think it was necessarily written with the intent of having the full weight of a sexual assault behind it but, particularly as a woman, it was viscerally horrifying to read.
The thing that is the MOST interesting is Egwene consciously learning how to manipulate people and more importantly the thrill that she gets from it. The tipping of the power balance between her and Nynaeve and how they negotiate that going forward is also going to be super interesting.
When Siuan was talking about needing a new Amyrlin who is separate from the Tower and extremely powerful, my first instinct was “oh that’s Egwene, she’s talking about Egwene”. In hindsight, I actually think she might’ve meant Moiraine (and it makes more sense for her to mean Moiraine because after all Egwene has barely been raised to Accepted let alone full Aes Sedai) but I still think my initial instinct is correct and Egwene will become Amyrlin. The character development that I don’t necessarily like is, I think, setting her up to develop the attributes that will ultimately lead to her taking the seat.
As a side note, how are they raising Accepted to Aes Sedai in Salidar without the terangreal that they have need for the testing? In New Spring, training for the testing was a Big Deal and I don’t understand how they’ve raised Faolin without her going through that?
7. I think Nynaeve is going to learn how to heal stilling/gentling.
This is based on nothing but vibes and her sheer determination that she CAN learn how to do it and I think once she puts her mind to it, there’s very little she’s not going to be able to accomplish. Plus it makes sense with Min’s visions of seeing glory for Logain and it’s good for the plot.
Nynaeve’s character development in this book was NEXT LEVEL. There’s a point quite early on where she talks about the joy of healing being enough to bring her to tears and how one day she’ll heal Thom and he’ll dance again and that part made ME well up! I think that just sets up her motivations so well and also encapsulates that as frustrating as she can be sometimes, at her core, she’s ultimately a Good Person and (although not completely) selfless. Her whole arc post Brigette-gate was just some A+ character development and I LOVE that she’s teetering on the edge of self-introspection and actually putting that self-reflection into action which I think is SO realistically human.
8. The cuendillar discs
I found it super interesting the the cuendillar disc broke at some point on Elayne and Nynaeve’s journey from the menagerie to Salidar. Also super interesting that they both felt some kind of “darkness” coming from it.
My current assumption is the malice they’re sensing comes from the Dark One himself trying to break free and my THEORY is that this has a similar effect on people to the dagger from Shadar Logoth, which is why the girls were being particularly snippy and aggressive to each other and their improved mood (which Nynaeve assumes is because they’re forced to smile all the time so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy) actually correlates to the point at which the disc broke.
My other kind of related theory is that one of the refugees is Moghedien (leaning towards Ariena as the one with the most suspicious backstory) and the breaking of cuendillar is related to being in proximity to a Forsaken (although I think this might fall down because the discs that Moiraine had on the wagon are - to my knowledge - intact, despite being in close contact with Lanfear)
I don’t think Moghedien can be one of the Aes Sedai because it would make no sense that she found Salidar on her todd and made it there before the others so I think she has to be one of the refugees. It’s super interesting though that posing as a refugee shows the Moghedien actually has a fundamental understanding of who Nynaeve in order to take the gamble that she would let them on the ship, ultimately playing on her humanity.
9. I still really like Elayne!
I know there were some comments on my last post with people saying she does terrible things but FOR NOW for a very young girl coming from a very privileged background suddenly thrown into an entirely new life, I think she’s doing well! And she’s also still fundamentally a good person!
That said, I didn’t like her flirting with Thom. I get it. But I didn’t like it. Weird and icky. Was v glad when it ended.
11. I like Gareth and Siuan.
That’s it. That’s the post.
It amuses me how much better Jordan is at writing adult relationships than teenage ones.
Gareth/Siuan, Morgase/Tallanvor and Moiraine/Thom are actually (now I think about it lmao) all currently theoretical and have been given FAR less screen time but are FAR more realistic and I’m waaaaaay more invested in literally all of them than eg: Perrin/Faile or Rand/Aviendha
12. I missed Perrin in this book. The part where Rand mentions that he’s probably showing Faile off to his mother and family made me sad because he’s not because THEY’RE ALL DEAD
13. Elayne bonding Birgette as a Warder is SUPER INTERESTING! I love Birgette as a character and I can’t wait to see what Jordan does with her further down the line
14. AAAAH PROPHECIES!
So I initially thought that Mat being hung in Rhuidean was his “die and live again” but now he’s died in Camlyn and been brought back to life by balefire, I think THAT was his “die and live again as a part of what was” which I think makes more sense - particularly the “a part of what was”, referring (I’m guessing!) both to a part of him (his memories) being from the past and to the fact that the Balefire that brought him back erased a thread of the pattern, making it so Rahvin’s actions never existed (“what was”). One prophecy down! Now he just has to marry a Seanchan princess and give up half the light of the world to save the word (whatever that means)!
15. I’m not going to lie…I’m not a battle girlie…all of the descriptions of large scale battles and factions coming from East or West and the tactics used go straight over my head and (this is going to be unpopular lol) Mat leading the battle in Cairhiean was by far the most boring part of the book for me (not being deliberately inflammatory but FAR more boring than any part of the circus plot which I actually really enjoyed lmao) HOWEVER I am psyched that he killed Couladin and psyched that he has his own group. All three of the Two Rivers boys leading their own groups!!
16. Melindra being a Darkfriend was ANOTHER plot twist I did not see coming!! I don’t really have anything more to say apart from the fact that I was shook!
17. Oh this is a random one but I just remembered. Rand is being over dramatic with this whole “I need to die to save the world”. My man my dude. All the prophecy says is that your blood will be on the steps of Shayol Ghul. Conveniently, you have a giant wound in your side that seems to break open and bleed every time you’re in a battle / in proximity to a Forsaken…Sir, no-one is saying you have to die to fulfil that part of the prophecy!
18. Uhhhhhhh just when I thought all the plot twists for this book were over and I could settle into the final pages….WHO (the fuck) KILLED ASMODEAN?! Maybe Fain (because god know where in the world he is right now) but that seems unlikely…I don’t think he’s got good enough motivation to kill him but I can’t think of anyone else! Someone Asmodean recognises which suggests one of the Forsaken??
AAAAAAAAAH!
I desperately want to start Lord of Chaos but I’ve promised it to myself as a reward when I’ve finished doing all the work I haven’t done because I’ve been too busy reading!
PS: to the man who tried to start small talk with me in King’s Cross station (unrelated to WoT, that conversation I would’ve engaged with) when I was reading the last 50 pages, I’m sorry I lied and told you I had to catch my train, I just needed to finish reading! If you see this, I hope you understand why!

After such a lovely response last time, I thought I’d make another post now I’ve finished The Fires of Heaven!!!!! I once again stayed up all night to finish it so these are sleep deprived and slightly incoherent thoughts!!
I’m not going to lie I enjoyed this slightly less than TSR (although it was still excellent, don’t get me wrong!) but found it had less standout “oh my GOD holy SHIT” moments and fewer moments that made me well up with emotion (apart from the obvious one…) so I think I felt slightly less viscerally emotionally connected to the story overall.
I continue to be ASTOUNDED by the attention to detail and sheet level of world-building in this series. I know pages of description of the details of the environment, the clothes etc are not everyone’s cup of tea but it makes the world feel so much richer and fuller to me so I love it!
I have so much to say and I’m terrible at not rambling so BEAR WITH ME (this is long!) Here we go!
1. CAN WE TALK ABOUT MOIRAINE
Listen. Listen. I KNEW this was coming - the foreshadowing was HEAVY…Rhuidean…her desperation, the urgency of her imparting information to Rand, her cryptic references to leaving…my gal knew she was on a time crunch. But literally from the moment she appeared and Rand commented on her looking more beautiful and regal than normal, I was going oh no…oh no…oh NO…OH NO and when it actually happened I was CRUSHED.
I think particularly having read New Spring first, I was SO attached to Moiraine and her story and knowing how much she had sacrificed to get to this point and the dignity with which she faced the inevitable and knowingly sacrificed everything was gut-punching!
Lan’s reaction followed by her letter absolutely broke me (I cried)… You will do well…TATTOO THAT LINE ON ME. Ugh. Anyway.
I assume her letter to Thom contains the names of the Red sisters who went after his nephew but (and maybe slightly out of left field…) I think there miiiiiiight be something romantic there? I’m probably SO far wrong on this that everyone’s going to be like “wtf you idiot” but there’s been a couple of references to her giggling or laughing around him (super rare for main series Moiraine) and then off the back of that, she made that comment about knowing the face of the man she’s going to marry - and my instinctive reaction was oh THOM even though at the time I didn’t know why that was my instinctive reaction- and I thought the whole scene with the two of them in Tear was quite charged and flirty. Hmmmm. Like I said, a bit of a left field prediction but IF she comes back, maybe there’s going to be something there…or maybe everyone is reading this and thinking I’ve gone completely mad…time will tell!
On that note, I don’t believe either her or Lanfear are actually dead and I think both are going to re-appear at some point but I don’t imagine they’re going to have a great time trapped with the Elfin (in my head the Elfin are the foxes because they have elf like faces and Aelfin are the snakes because Ael sounds like eel…it doesn’t make sense, I don’t know if that’s right lmao) for however long they’re there for.
LISTEN. Her letter specifically says that she is “gone” but she doesn’t say dead!!! And she's Aes Sedai, she's SPECIFIC with her word choices for good reason!
And before you all come at me, I KNOW that Lan couldn’t feel the bond but a) we have no evidence that he can feel the bond across whatever land the red door leads to - it was never specifically commented on when Moiraine goes through the one in Tear and b) even if he can theoretically feel it when she’s in A/Elfin land, my personal theory is that destroying the frame effectively destroyed the only (known) way back and it’s the finality of there being no (known) way for her to return which effectively severs the bond (rather than her actual death). We definitely haven’t seen the last of the fox people and I really really (maybe wishful thinking) believe that she’s going to find a way back.
I also maybe read this wrong but we know that Moiraine specifically set up the angreal at the edge of the doorframe the day before she died and at first I just assumed it was so that everything happened exactly as she had seen in Rhuidean. But as she leaps at Lanfear, it says that she clawed it away from her but it’s unclear whether Moiraine is holding it as they go through the doorframe or whether it falls on the ground but I don’t think there’s any mention of it lying on the ground in the next chapter.
I know this is SUCH a small thing but knowing how intentional Jordan is with his writing, I find it hard to believe that not mentioning the angreal in the pages of description of the dock that follow isn’t a deliberate choice.
Therefore, I’m assuming Moiraine has hold of it as they go through the doorframe. We also don’t know if it’s a ter’angreal or a sa’angreal (interesting but I don’t know how much this matters?)
Knowing both how intentional Jordan is and in-world knowing how intentional and prepared Moiraine is, I can only assume setting this up was deliberate on her part. She had from Rhuidean to prepare for this moment and I’m also wondering if her vision in Rhuidean showed her going through the portal, maybe it also showed her a way to get back and the angreal is part of that.
I THINK that the angreal will either enable her to kill Lanfear on the otherside of the doorframe OR is somehow the key to enabling her to come back OR will help her to survive the fox people (or all of the above!)
My alternative theory (that I think is less good tbh) is that the angreal will help her survive +/- killing Lanfear and Rhuidean did show her a way to get back but it has to be done from outside the fox world and the key to getting her back is what’s in Thom’s letter??
I’m also now wondering if going through the doorway with an angreal was why it went absolutely haywire (in the same with the testing angreal interacted with Egwene’s dream one) or maybe that was just both women channelling as they fell through.
Both of my theories go to absolute shit if I’ve failed to pick up on the angreal still being in the real world lmao so let me know if I’m wrong on that!
2. ALVARIAN as Black Ajah!!!
That SHOCKED me! I guess I always thought that her motivations were aligned with her being White Ajah (very logical etc) and that she was, similarly to Elaida, not a nice person but not downright evil. Interesting!
3. I’m calling it now. Verin is Black Ajah.
I had my suspicions last book because this woman keeps turning up in places she has no right to be with weak-ass excuses as to why she’s there but Moiraines letter solidified it for me - why name Verin SPECIFICALLY alongside Alvarian who we KNOW is Black Ajah unless she knows something we don’t?? I’m willing to be proven wrong on this but my suspicions are strong!
4. Morgase!
LOVED these chapters! Rahvin’s compulsion is literally bone-chilling to me. Ugh. I’m concerned that her and Bryne are going to be like ships in the night given he’s now in Salidar and she’s on her way to Kor Spring and they’re just going to keep missing each other!
I love Lini and will be v sad if anything happens to her. She can look after Elayne and Rands babies whilst they’re fighting the Last Battle (I’m KIDDING lmao I don’t think that’s going to happen)
I also like Tallanvor a LOT. The scene where Lini (?) recounts seeing him sobbing and recanting his new oath made me irrationally very emotional.
6. Intrigued by Egwene’s character arc this book.
I…did not love what she did to Nynaeve in TAR…at all. It was…horrifying…and in many ways fundamentally changed how I view her as a character. I partially get it, in that she was teaching the way that she had been taught and whilst it was intended to be terrifying, I don’t think it was necessarily written with the intent of having the full weight of a sexual assault behind it but, particularly as a woman, it was viscerally horrifying to read.
The thing that is the MOST interesting is Egwene consciously learning how to manipulate people and more importantly the thrill that she gets from it. The tipping of the power balance between her and Nynaeve and how they negotiate that going forward is also going to be super interesting.
When Siuan was talking about needing a new Amyrlin who is separate from the Tower and extremely powerful, my first instinct was “oh that’s Egwene, she’s talking about Egwene”. In hindsight, I actually think she might’ve meant Moiraine (and it makes more sense for her to mean Moiraine because after all Egwene has barely been raised to Accepted let alone full Aes Sedai) but I still think my initial instinct is correct and Egwene will become Amyrlin. The character development that I don’t necessarily like is, I think, setting her up to develop the attributes that will ultimately lead to her taking the seat.
As a side note, how are they raising Accepted to Aes Sedai in Salidar without the terangreal that they have need for the testing? In New Spring, training for the testing was a Big Deal and I don’t understand how they’ve raised Faolin without her going through that?
7. I think Nynaeve is going to learn how to heal stilling/gentling.
This is based on nothing but vibes and her sheer determination that she CAN learn how to do it and I think once she puts her mind to it, there’s very little she’s not going to be able to accomplish. Plus it makes sense with Min’s visions of seeing glory for Logain and it’s good for the plot.
Nynaeve’s character development in this book was NEXT LEVEL. There’s a point quite early on where she talks about the joy of healing being enough to bring her to tears and how one day she’ll heal Thom and he’ll dance again and that part made ME well up! I think that just sets up her motivations so well and also encapsulates that as frustrating as she can be sometimes, at her core, she’s ultimately a Good Person and (although not completely) selfless. Her whole arc post Brigette-gate was just some A+ character development and I LOVE that she’s teetering on the edge of self-introspection and actually putting that self-reflection into action which I think is SO realistically human.
8. The cuendillar discs
I found it super interesting the the cuendillar disc broke at some point on Elayne and Nynaeve’s journey from the menagerie to Salidar. Also super interesting that they both felt some kind of “darkness” coming from it.
My current assumption is the malice they’re sensing comes from the Dark One himself trying to break free and my THEORY is that this has a similar effect on people to the dagger from Shadar Logoth, which is why the girls were being particularly snippy and aggressive to each other and their improved mood (which Nynaeve assumes is because they’re forced to smile all the time so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy) actually correlates to the point at which the disc broke.
My other kind of related theory is that one of the refugees is Moghedien (leaning towards Ariena as the one with the most suspicious backstory) and the breaking of cuendillar is related to being in proximity to a Forsaken (although I think this might fall down because the discs that Moiraine had on the wagon are - to my knowledge - intact, despite being in close contact with Lanfear)
I don’t think Moghedien can be one of the Aes Sedai because it would make no sense that she found Salidar on her todd and made it there before the others so I think she has to be one of the refugees. It’s super interesting though that posing as a refugee shows the Moghedien actually has a fundamental understanding of who Nynaeve in order to take the gamble that she would let them on the ship, ultimately playing on her humanity.
9. I still really like Elayne!
I know there were some comments on my last post with people saying she does terrible things but FOR NOW for a very young girl coming from a very privileged background suddenly thrown into an entirely new life, I think she’s doing well! And she’s also still fundamentally a good person!
That said, I didn’t like her flirting with Thom. I get it. But I didn’t like it. Weird and icky. Was v glad when it ended.
11. I like Gareth and Siuan.
That’s it. That’s the post.
It amuses me how much better Jordan is at writing adult relationships than teenage ones.
Gareth/Siuan, Morgase/Tallanvor and Moiraine/Thom are actually (now I think about it lmao) all currently theoretical and have been given FAR less screen time but are FAR more realistic and I’m waaaaaay more invested in literally all of them than eg: Perrin/Faile or Rand/Aviendha
12. I missed Perrin in this book. The part where Rand mentions that he’s probably showing Faile off to his mother and family made me sad because he’s not because THEY’RE ALL DEAD
13. Elayne bonding Birgette as a Warder is SUPER INTERESTING! I love Birgette as a character and I can’t wait to see what Jordan does with her further down the line
14. AAAAH PROPHECIES!
So I initially thought that Mat being hung in Rhuidean was his “die and live again” but now he’s died in Camlyn and been brought back to life by balefire, I think THAT was his “die and live again as a part of what was” which I think makes more sense - particularly the “a part of what was”, referring (I’m guessing!) both to a part of him (his memories) being from the past and to the fact that the Balefire that brought him back erased a thread of the pattern, making it so Rahvin’s actions never existed (“what was”). One prophecy down! Now he just has to marry a Seanchan princess and give up half the light of the world to save the word (whatever that means)!
15. I’m not going to lie…I’m not a battle girlie…all of the descriptions of large scale battles and factions coming from East or West and the tactics used go straight over my head and (this is going to be unpopular lol) Mat leading the battle in Cairhiean was by far the most boring part of the book for me (not being deliberately inflammatory but FAR more boring than any part of the circus plot which I actually really enjoyed lmao) HOWEVER I am psyched that he killed Couladin and psyched that he has his own group. All three of the Two Rivers boys leading their own groups!!
16. Melindra being a Darkfriend was ANOTHER plot twist I did not see coming!! I don’t really have anything more to say apart from the fact that I was shook!
17. Oh this is a random one but I just remembered. Rand is being over dramatic with this whole “I need to die to save the world”. My man my dude. All the prophecy says is that your blood will be on the steps of Shayol Ghul. Conveniently, you have a giant wound in your side that seems to break open and bleed every time you’re in a battle / in proximity to a Forsaken…Sir, no-one is saying you have to die to fulfil that part of the prophecy!
18. Uhhhhhhh just when I thought all the plot twists for this book were over and I could settle into the final pages….WHO (the fuck) KILLED ASMODEAN?! Maybe Fain (because god know where in the world he is right now) but that seems unlikely…I don’t think he’s got good enough motivation to kill him but I can’t think of anyone else! Someone Asmodean recognises which suggests one of the Forsaken??
AAAAAAAAAH!
I desperately want to start Lord of Chaos but I’ve promised it to myself as a reward when I’ve finished doing all the work I haven’t done because I’ve been too busy reading!

Wondering if my gf(21F) drugged me(24M)
I(24M) went out to the club with my gf(21F) of 3 months, and some of her friends for her graduation a few weeks ago.
We drank and went out had a good time and danced. We drank before leaving and at the place but I distinctly remember only drinking one drink while outside.
So more than an hour after my last drink we decide to leave and go back to her place. All seemed fun and well but when we get home the first thing she does is bring me the rest of the food we got together earlier, she hand me my meal and I just start eating it not thinking much of it.
At this point I remember feeling myself sobering up already.
Her friends go back to their rooms before us , however when I get up to go up the stairs to her room I just blank out and next thing I remember is waking up in the morning in her bed.
What’s surprising to me is that the last drink I had was more than an hour before we got back to her place. The only thing I consumed in between that last drink and passing out was the food she handed me at her apartment.
What would you do in this situation? How would you react and what do you think is the rations thing to do?
TL:DR blacked out after eating food gf gave me more than an hour after my last drink

2023.06.03 19:58 Dr_Bolle Looking for help servicing a lens (Zeiss Contarex 50mm 2.0 Planar)
 | Some of you might remember my post about the Contarex. I haven't continued working on that, however, it came with a 50mm 2.0 "Planar" lens. The optics look clear, but the mechanics are very sticky, probably from old grease. Scared of friction welding (as described here) I decided to take it apart, remove the old grease, and replace it with modern lithium grease. Exus G02, actually for bikes, was recommended on another forum as suitable for russian aluminium lens bodies, so I chose to try that. submitted by Dr_Bolle to AnalogCommunity [link] [comments] On the first picture you see the disassembled lens body - the optical elements stay together, I wouldn't dare to take those apart. You see how the threads are white on some areas - I assume that means the black surface (anodized?) of the threads is already degraded and the metal is bare. I managed to take at least a significant part of the old grease away, replaced it with the new grease. However, I have two problems. On the picture you see the three main parts of the lens in the front. The right ring has a regular thread and connects to the focus ring, which is on the left. The main part with the lenses in the middle also connects to the focus ring, however, it has a left-hand thread which is much steeper. When you put it together, all three elements need to meet at the right spot to get the distances right, which correlate to the focusing distances on the focus ring. I've tried quite a while to get it right, but I wasn't successful so far. I got it back together, but I can't focus to infinity, and if I go to the minimum focus, I leave the threading and the lens comes apart again. Does anyone know an assembly guide for this lens, or a similar one (as I assume that this mechanism is common on many lenses)? The second question: The exus grease works so far, and the danger of friction welding is probably gone. However, it's still very sticky, the focusing doesn't go as lightly as it should. So probably the grease is unsuitable for this lens. Maybe the russian lenses, where the other guy who recommended the stuff was successful, use larger tolerance for the threads and therefore it's fine. Here however I need something finer. Any recommendations? And how thoroughly should I remove the old grease? https://preview.redd.it/4eqpb8l7bu3b1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0337fff630a4539ff4df02f2599818b1b0d1d75 |
2023.06.03 19:56 Melancholy_girl3 [Kane Chronicles] About Sadie Kane's previous portrayals and possible casting for the movie.
I just completed a 3 day reddit ban for harrassment and bullying.
The admins apparently believe that responding a little to a racist who is spamming paragraphs and blocking them is bullying and harrassment.
So naturally I return to talk about racial issues.
000
With the announcement of live action Kane Chronicles movies, there has been discourse about casting, particularly: Sadie Kane.
The biracial co-protagonist of KC.
Sadie is described as having:
Blue eyes
Light skin
Straight caramel coloured hair
Looking like Annabeth
000
Basically, passing for white.
And this is how she was portrayed in fan art and official art for a while, until recently.
"Sadie Kane is mixed so she should be portrayed as mixed" they say, while showing off an unambiguously black girl.
White passing in media
White passing characters have long been used for what I call "comfortable diversity", say for example you've got this new Asian character as a response to asks for diversity, "finally, a character that looks like m-", they're also half white so now they look unambiguously white.
...
In live action, there are examples where a biracial actor was cast originally but scrapped for a white one.
The amount of times this has happened is enough to leave a burn for sure and an overall distaste for white passing mixed race characters.
Does KC have this issue?
The other protagonist is, as you know, Carter Kane.
His description:
Dark skin
Brown eyes
Kinky hair
000
So we have an unambiguously black looking protagonist.
As a black girl, I must say KC does a fair job at representing racial issues.
Iirc, there are moments where Carter is treate like an aggresive black man and Sadie like an innocent white girl despite them being like two years apart.
Sadie's appearance also represents how she feels disconnected from her brother and father amongst other things.
It's not really an excuse to not add diversity, considering there are other poc characters.
White passing doesn't mean white
People misunderstand white passing to mean totally looks white when that's not true.
Sofia Richie is white passing, but you can still see her black features.
Same goes for Natasha Trethewey and Lena Horne.
There's this girl at my old school that looked pretty much white with her pale skin, green eyes and light brown hair, except for her 4c hair of course.
How Sadie should be portrayed in the new film
Sadie must be portrayed by a biracial/mixed actress.
If Sofia Richie was ten years younger, I would hand the role to her (caramel hair, light eyes, white passing).
How I envison Sadie is this:
Tan (Annabeth has a deep tan)
Nose and lips that are juuuust wide enough to not cast suspicion
Light eyes (preferably blue like the book)
Caramel/brown hair that she straightens
I know Sadie has canonically straught hair, but with the natural and curly hair movements, I think it would be nice.
Think of it like this Sadie straightens her hair to fit in, but once the journey begins she doesn't have her flat iron and so has to accept her curly hair (think 2c-3b), also symbolising the broken family coming back together. The most important thing to a black woman is hee hair, right?
Conclusion
I dunno lol, I said what I said

With the announcement of live action Kane Chronicles movies, there has been discourse about casting, particularly: Sadie Kane.
The biracial co-protagonist of KC.
Sadie is described as having:
Blue eyes
Light skin
Straight caramel coloured hair
Looking like Annabeth
000
Basically, passing for white.
And this is how she was portrayed in fan art and official art for a while, until recently.
"Sadie Kane is mixed so she should be portrayed as mixed" they say, while showing off an unambiguously black girl.
White passing in media
White passing characters have long been used for what I call "comfortable diversity", say for example you've got this new Asian character as a response to asks for diversity, "finally, a character that looks like m-", they're also half white so now they look unambiguously white.
...
In live action, there are examples where a biracial actor was cast originally but scrapped for a white one.
The amount of times this has happened is enough to leave a burn for sure and an overall distaste for white passing mixed race characters.
Does KC have this issue?
The other protagonist is, as you know, Carter Kane.
His description:
Dark skin
Brown eyes
Kinky hair
000
So we have an unambiguously black looking protagonist.
As a black girl, I must say KC does a fair job at representing racial issues.
Iirc, there are moments where Carter is treate like an aggresive black man and Sadie like an innocent white girl despite them being like two years apart.
Sadie's appearance also represents how she feels disconnected from her brother and father amongst other things.
It's not really an excuse to not add diversity, considering there are other poc characters.
White passing doesn't mean white
People misunderstand white passing to mean totally looks white when that's not true.
Sofia Richie is white passing, but you can still see her black features.
Same goes for Natasha Trethewey and Lena Horne.
There's this girl at my old school that looked pretty much white with her pale skin, green eyes and light brown hair, except for her 4c hair of course.
How Sadie should be portrayed in the new film
Sadie must be portrayed by a biracial/mixed actress.
If Sofia Richie was ten years younger, I would hand the role to her (caramel hair, light eyes, white passing).
How I envison Sadie is this:
Tan (Annabeth has a deep tan)
Nose and lips that are juuuust wide enough to not cast suspicion
Light eyes (preferably blue like the book)
Caramel/brown hair that she straightens
I know Sadie has canonically straught hair, but with the natural and curly hair movements, I think it would be nice.
Think of it like this Sadie straightens her hair to fit in, but once the journey begins she doesn't have her flat iron and so has to accept her curly hair (think 2c-3b), also symbolising the broken family coming back together. The most important thing to a black woman is hee hair, right?

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Do you see us? Do you read us? Can you hear us? RA is waiting. But you ignore him.
Everything felt wrong. Of course, piloting a Pegasus made you feel that, but at this point Echo thought he would be used to it. “Dawn, Mech status?”
“Mechs structure is fine, but the hull is banged up a bit.”
“And the Ushabti?”
“It’s still stable… for the most part.”
“Well, we better check in.” Echo opened themselves to the omninet, they felt around only feeling the six mechs around him. “Dawn… I Can’t” they stutter.
“Me too Echo. I can only feel us and the others.”
“How are the idiots in shard doing?” they stutter
“The Sisyphus responded with the whole I know everything, and nothing deal. And the Osiris was still in storage. And Lono was still singing.”
“At least one of them is still stored. Weapon and system status?”
“The Fusion Rifle is at 78% power. The Autogun is at full functionality. The Mimic gun is angry. The smoke mines and grenades are fully used up”
Echo got up and started to pull out a choker and a thermal pistol. They climb out of the cockpit and update their hair from dark black to a lighter brown with a green fade. Flexing their metal right arm and cybernetic left leg. It’s clawed toes scraping at the metal floor. “Let’s get out of Fragment, dawn.”
“Cap! It’s on fire and we need to leave! We are under attack! Come on!”
Righ bolts up. His head is pounding, he shakes his head. “God where am I?” He walks over to his cockpit. “Better run a system check.” He mutters to himself. “let’s see, Thermal rifle at full power, Laser Rifle at 45% functionality?” “The prototype is at 35% functionality?” “Apocalypse rail at 100%. Hull at 32% Structure at 75%! Shit shit shit!”
He springs up faster than a man at his weight should. He downs his heavy hardsuit. As his helmet locks into his main suit, he grabs his handheld printer ready to do basic repairs. As he climbs down to the modified storage room he sees the stored mech suit is banged up a little but not so much that Echo would kill him.
As he climbs out the storage hatch, he notices three things; one that is a hole the size of him in his mechs left side. Two the air is breathable. And third that the stars are not the same as the ones he last saw. “Well, where are we, and how do we get here?” he asked to no one in particular.
“Piper you can’t keep doing this!” “I have too!” “You don’t and you know this!” “See you later Pip.”
Pip is in pain. He feels himself being pulled to sleep by the pain. He grabs around his cockpit until he feels his medicine bag. He feels through it until he feels one of his stims. Pulling it out,.
“Kick huh. That works.” He mumbles. He injects it feeling is body burn for a few moments as his body forces it’s self-wake. “Oh, that hurt. Oh, that always hurts.” He sits up leaning in his seat.
“let’s see. Vijaya rockets silo full. Charged blade at 36% power. Need to charge that. And the Variable sword as normal is at 100%. Fade cloak ready. Hunter logic online. Singularity contended ready to be exposed. EVA auto powered off. Planet side huh. Jump jet at 29%. Powering that off to prevent more damage. Flight system ready for action. Heat levels low. Reactor stress... high. Ok, need to get Echo to fix that. Oh, I am rambling to myself again.”
He sighs and pulls out a dagger and rifle. Pulling out an armored hardsuit he puts it on. Clicking his medicine bag to the outside sheathing his dagger and holstering his rifle. He climes out of his mechs cockpit and into the open air. The sky smells of ozone as he sees Echo get out the belly of their mech and Righ is using his handheld printer to repair his mech piece by piece. ‘Well Wind. Let’s deal with this” he whispers to himself.
-----{Two hours later}-----
That looks unstable. Are you sure that is going to work? Oh, dear that’s gone all so wrong.
“Righ your mechs internal systems are low. Your stabilizers are jammed, along with your Flak launcher targeting systems being offline.” Dawn’s ‘voice’ coming from his suits comms.
“We can work on that when I don’t have a hole in my mech. This is going to take a while to repair.” He grumbled “We only have my handheld printer right now so we can’t do much at the moment.”
There’s a crashing sound as the smell of burning plastic and flesh starts to drift downwind.
“Can Basher move or is the hole to much?” Pip called to Righ
“They can move but a bit slower.” Righ responded.
“I think we should check that out. There are people at crashes. Could tell us where we are.” Echo said.
“Everyone suit up and get ready. We are moving out. Prepare for potential hostiles. Echo, you go after me, Righ your last.” Pip called out. As everyone climes up into their mechs they start to see the smoke rise as unfamiliar screams sound in the distance. “Update hostiles almost confirmed. Prepare for combat.” Dawns ‘voice’ calls from the mech intercoms.
-----{One hour later}-----
As the mechs come over a hill they see a crashed ship with human and strange bodies everywhere. “Those aren’t all human. But they got weapons.” Pip stated.
“No shit Pip. What are those?” Echo says as one of their mechs four clawed talons reaches up and points to reptilic humanoids eating the bodies. The reptilic humanoids notice them and start to point weapons at them.
“Well shit. Time for combat.” Righ activates his stabilizers only for an error message to pop up. “Shit. Well, no rail today.” He climbs out of his mech as the things start to fire at him. Pulling out a scope he reads their distance at about 120 feet. He dashes back to the cockpit. “Out of range they are 120 feet out. Counting 60 hostiles” He calls out.
“Understood! firing Mimic Gun!” echo shouts over the intercoms as the flat rounded face of their mech pulls apart as an ever-changing weapon emerges from the split in the face. It fires a bolt that explodes on contact with the ground.
When the dust clears seven bodies lie on the ground. The mech runs 30 feet closer to the hostiles. The mechs back armor opens up revealing a spine like object with what looks like nerves coming off deeper into the mech and a blackhole appears over a disk shape at the back of the mech as it fires a bolt of something killing one of the hostiles. A different gun raises from the spine, fires and folds back in the spine as two more bodies fall. “Nine hostiles down 51 to go.”
“Loading Rail, Pip your up.” Righ broadcasts.
Wind runs 70 feet towards the hostiles as they start to flicker before disappearing appearing next to the hostiles instantly. They slice at the things with an impossibly thin blade that’s now covered in red blood. As two bodies fall over. They slash with a thick blade that was in its sheath a moment ago as six hostiles fall over sparking from the energy that just ran through them. Two rockets fire from its shoulder and two of them explode. The mech holds the thick blade in a guarding pose. “17 down.”
The hostiles move as one get slashed from the mech. They fire and Wind just takes it. They then charge 40 feet at Basher and Fragment. Wind looks scratched. “19 down.”
“Ejecting, mechs locked down.” Righ says before as they jump out with a mini gun and their heavy hardsuit, a large sword clamped on his back. They walk 20 feet closer to the hostiles. They start unloading the mini gun at the hostiles killing two before stopping and holding his ground.
Fragments runs 30 feet at the hostiles. The mimic gun fires killing four more in an explosion. And then a fourth gun unfolds from the belly of fragment shooting a bolt of lightning frying two of the hostiles. “27 hostiles down 33 to go. Opening the Eye of Horus. I SEE EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING SEES ME!” echo screams.
Wind flickers and reappears in the middle of the hostiles. Before slashing eight of them with the thin blade as they pick them apart with expert detail. They slash with the thick sword missing. As two rockets fire and hit two of them. “37 down.”
Righ moves 30 feet closer as he unloads his mini gun, killing six of them. He prepares to hold his ground. The hostiles charge the last 30 feet between them. As the hostiles start to slash at him, they can’t breach his armor. Two of them shoot him but it misses. He pulls out his sword and cuts through them. Killing three. “that’s forty!”
Fragment moves into the hostiles. The gun reemerges from Fragments spine as all four guns unload killing eight more. Fragment’s legs are coated with blood as Echo is cackling. Wind’s thin blade flicks as four more fall as three rockets fire killing three more. The last five of the things fall to Righs blade.
“That’s all of them. Let’s take ten and look at that ship.” Righ called. He turned around as the mech lifts it’s hand as he starts doing repairs on the armor. Pip climbs out of Wind and starts cleaning the blades of blood. Echo quiets his cackling as he climbs out and starts looking at the bodies.
“These things are alien, same with their tech. It’s all code me and Dawn can’t make sense of.” Echo starts fiddling with some of the weapons on the bodies. “Looks like their claws and teeth are their main weapons, the guns are an afterthought.”
“Can you not pick at the dead Echo?” Pip mumbles.
“Nope. By the way your blade is out of power.”
“Already knew that.” Pip grumbles as he starts climbing back into Wind. “let’s look at the ship and then we can deal with our mechs. Don’t want to get jumped by more of those things.”
“I agree. The faster we are the sooner we can find survivors.” Righ climbs back into Basher as the mech starts to turn to the ship.
“I still want to mess with the bodies.” Echo mumbled as he climbed back into Fragment. All the guns sunk back into Fragment as the back armor closes up, and the split in the face seals. The group starts to run to the crashed ship.
Wind appears next to the ship. Pip climbs out and starts to check the non-eaten bodies. Fragment arrives as Echo ejects out landing on the top of the ship. Basher arrives and picks up a small part of the wreak. There’s a creaking sound as the area where Echo is standing falls.
“Found survivors. Or more of I fell into survivors.” Echo’s voice rings over Pip’s and Righ’s comms.

2023.06.03 19:27 Bella_Della_Guerra Metaphysics of Simulationist Design
In order to build a good game, the goals need to be defined clearly and ordered along a hierarchy of values. This is almost so obvious that it's stupid, but I think we often forget the obvious and need to be reminded of it.
I've gotten a great deal of poorly qualified feedback from other subs which had compromised my design focus. They might say things like "players are not going to enjoy that; this will confuse them" when in reality they're categorically projecting their limited personal experiences and tastes (usually narrativist).
From my estimation, the crunch crowd tends to be equally distributed among gamist and simulationist design preferences. This understanding improves the quality of my feedback, but it's still necessary to further distinguish their preference and experience in order to determine how aligned their feedback is to my design goals. So I might reduce each general goal to the following first principles:
As an aside, I never messed with 4th edition because the cartoony warcraft aesthetic broke me out of the game world; it gave a plastic impression as opposed to an organic fantasy of wonder, exotic dangers, and exploration. It made me think of seeing damage numbers floating above the enemy's head and watching them flash to indicate a hit has been scored.
This all brings me to the seed of my discussion. I had developed a certain set of mechanics which were simple to calculate and provided tactical depth. They played out wonderfully in my initial tests, but something was missing. The numbers and the calculation process wasn't giving me the intensity and impact I wanted. There were enough layers of abstraction to take me out of the imaginative headspace and I realized I was testing a game, not a dynamic environment.
There is "20 damage" and then there is, "He smote upon the sallet, splitting skull and spilling blood and soul alike, such the Black Prince could see the brigand's final thought: regret."
About a year and a half ago, I had developed a system that removed all explicit quantities. With the exception of the dice itself, there were no visible numbers (logic can always be translated to quantities). Only high level language was immediately available to the audience. This meant that once you memorized the procedures, you were ALWAYS immersed. A halberd spike to the face had intuitively immediate consequences: relieved sinuses; the brightness setting of life being lowered a significant degree; a sudden and complete disregard for bills, chores, back pain, and marital problems.
Humor aside, numbers and calculations break you out of that rhythm. My design philosophy for that model was unified with the mechanics. So I posted it to the other sub, and all the narrativists jumped in and said "too complicated" as they do for everything. Then all the gamists jumped in and said "I like the cronch I like calculating, this won't appeal to a lot of people". Meanwhile I was under the assumption that the population at large hated math. I don't, but I would much rather the guts of an engine be kept under the hood for the purpose of simulation.

So I might reduce each general goal to the following first principles:
- In Narrativism, the pace comes first. Players who prefer this are primarily motivated by how tension and conflict develop as well as how active their overall participation is in the story. A broken pace compromises the collaborative effort and everything else falls apart from there.
- In Gamism, the numbers come first. Players are motivated by conflict and challenge and so their choices need to be meaningful. In order to satisfy this goal, the game's internal logic must be quantitatively balanced, have numerically distinct properties along the axes of risk and reward, and limit the GM's range of subjective judgment.
- In Simulationism, the aesthetic comes first.

2023.06.03 19:23 Ravenhozh Writing a Signalis story.
Some random scene I made up for my story.
1) "I said stop!" Ariane shouted. She aims her pistol at the runner.
2) Poverty Hunger Illness Homeless Overpopulation Terrorism Corruption Increasing crime rates Wide Black Market Business on narcotics Illegal manufacturing of Replikas Food shortage crisis War
And a whole lot more, this is just the tip of it. What else dose Rotfront have?
3) Don't mind her. That's Penrose-512's latest pilot. I told you that they'll find someone else for you.
She's cocky and an asshole. I pity the Replika who have to spend the next 8 or so years with her on the journey.
4) "You need to address me as Captain or Ma'am and not just stand there silently. Am I clear?"
Ariane lifts up her face, "Yes, Ma'am."
5) The tenant opens the door, "Who is it?" She said as she opens the door. Ariane was on the other side I'd that door and looks at them, "A visitor."
6) He smirks, "Look at you. You're practically made up of glass."
7) Ariane racks her gun and places the barrel agasint the traitor's head. "Wait, you can't just shoot me like this. I needed the money to feed my family."
8) Ariane opens her door to her apartment and finds the LSTR unit waiting for her to come back home from work.
9) "Hm, another one, huh? Let's call Yeong to ger over here, if there's anyone who can solve this case, it would be her.
That's it. Why I did it? No reason. Just wanted to put these out and see what people think.
Thank you for reading.

2023.06.03 19:00 VagrantSea Edelgard and Bernadetta: Trauma and Moving Forward.
 | Preface / My reason behind doing this for 22 day: submitted by VagrantSea to Edelgard [link] [comments]
Introduction:The reason why I chose to analyse Edelgard and Bernadetta’s relationship is because their interactions and supports are well-developed, gives further understanding to their character, and because it is the logical follow-up to my last post (Link here: Edelgard Analysis month 1: Does Edelgard have PSTD? : Edelgard (reddit.com))Now, there are a few things I want to go over before discussing the supports as it sets the stage for both understanding Edelgard and Bernadetta’s relationship, acknowledging the flaws with both games (and by extension, the larger Fire Emblem series). I have found that supports, ultimately fit into one or more of the following categories:
This being Dimitri due to the bad writing of it, how it does nothing to develop or use Edelgard in an effective manner while also continuing his bad writing of making everything about him. The topic of Anselma, while interesting, fails because of how far removed Edelgard is from that plot point and because of inconsistent plot elements due to the amount of changes. It is a topic that would only benefit Dimitri and even then it fails because of AM and AG writing. ( Which sucks because you have a very good support with Edelgard and Claude, showcase their similarities as well as what sets them apart. While pushes the understand that these two are character that are defined by their agency. ) Bernadetta suffers heavily from both games’ writing, as well as a larger problem within FE of repeating a certain character trait and unengaging writing. Many Supports get started by focusing on a character trait, and when done poorly and repetitively, this character trait becomes the only thing the Support is about rather than any deeper meaning the writers would like to explore.. This creates an issue with repetitiveness, where a character’s supports constantly retread the same ground. This is something that both older games as well as new games like Awakening, Fates, and most recently Engage have been criticised for, in part due to their larger Support logs. In Engage's case, it actively ruined the characters as they never developed past their certain traits they initially demonstrated, making a lot of the characters one note and uninteresting. This sucks, because Engage does have interesting characters like Céline, who has depth to her character whenever the conversation is able to find its way beyond her love for tea. Houses and Hopes put effort into fixing this and succeeded with some characters. However, they brought their own issues, while still struggling with repetitiveness to an extent, The way that both games try to fix these issues is by putting a lot more effort into their secondary characters, giving them more depth, complexity, and personality. Additionally, certain secondary characters were chosen to be comic relief, who break the tension, allowing the story to flow better. Naturally, these characters tend to have more comedic support. This, on its own, isn’t a bad thing provided the writing is good. If it isn’t, a comedic support can end up unfunny and mediocre. The problem is that the quality of both games' comedic writing is inconsistent. At their worst, Houses and Hopes sometimes fall back on the reuse of certain traits that defined other games, to the point that people within the community have defined these characters by a single trait. https://preview.redd.it/x8wcdkxn2u3b1.png?width=1017&format=png&auto=webp&s=6133bea82c4c51b84bac535411dc7dce73c2f182 As you can see here by a list I have made, Bernadetta is one of the characters who suffer from this issue. Furthermore, both her and Raphael are characters who have dark and interesting backstories. Stories that ties back into the larger narrative of the both games.The impact of which is often ruined by the game choosing to have them be the tension breakers. To be the comedic characters even when it would have been more interesting to seriously dig into their issues. To make a list categorising her supports: https://preview.redd.it/inqjha0q2u3b1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6a3552d6719e1bbebfed29dd79c31ebf16e28e0 In Bernadetta's case, her trait of anxiety and panic is used as a crutch in a lot of her supports to get the ball rolling toward later supports. The problem is that this one trait is heavily overused and when it is used effectively, it goes over peoples’ heads and they associate it with her comedic support. This becomes worse given how grating Berndetta’s voice acting can be at times, according to some. I would make another list of how many times the support overuses her traits of anxiety and panic attacks, but that would include nearly all of her supports. This sucks because there are supports that do use Bernadetta and her anxiety to both endear us to her character and her struggles genuinely well. 3 House Support: How one's trauma causes a person to react.The overarching theme behind Edelgard and Bernadetta’s support chain in Three Houses is similar to that of Edelgard’s support with two other Black Eagles, namely Caspar and Linhardt. All three are about the character’s coming to understand each other. Importantly, Edelgard’s responses to her interlocutors in all three supports are quite similar.In Linhardt’s support, Edelgard hounds Linhardt out of concern for him before pushing him to the point of snapping at her and comparing her to his overbearing mother. In response, she tries to find a way in which Linhardt can fully use his talents while not forgetting his personal needs and understanding how his methodology links to his talents. Which ties back into how Linhardt has also grown to care for and respect Edelgard. In Caspar’s support, both of them come to understand what each other meant in their C support. Caspar understands that Edelgard is one his biggest supporters, understands her character, and that she isn’t trying to make everything about herself. While Edelgard learns the true reason behind Caspar’s motivation and why he works as hard as he does. Edelgard and Bernadetta’s support chain is about them learning how to be around each other. Bernadetta sees Edelgard as a person to look up to and finds her inspiring. In their C support, Bernadetta sees how Edelgard presents herself as the seemingly fearless Imperial Princess and wants to follow her example, unaware that it is merely a mask Edelgard wears. However the very things Bernadetta admires about Edelgard also intimidate her, making her afraid to approach her role model. https://preview.redd.it/czug1pet2u3b1.png?width=477&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8a3220ef2110bf06ae18631dd0be7c8a9bb76dd Edelgard tries to challenge’s Bernedetta’s assessment of her, admitting that she does have things she fears like the sea. Confessing that she does not know how to swim and finds “the pitch black of the open sea at night quite frightening” . Bernadetta is comforted by the knowledge that the person she looks up to has flaws. But Edelgard is annoyed by how her shortcomings seem to please Bernadetta and responds harshly, scaring Bernadetta. Edelgard’s response to learning Bernadetta looks up to her reflects her own insecurities. Despite her confident demeanour, Edelgard has a poor self-image, in part because she understands the negative repercussions her actions have had and/or will have. She understands that war is not a good thing, that it can potentially do more damage than what the current system is doing, and that she could very easily be making things worse for the people living in Fódlan. However, Edelgard understands that myriad complex factors make affecting positive change in Fódlan impossible without bloodshed. Edelgard’s lack of self worth, as well as her dislike of people viewing her as a role model, is implied throughout both games. It even gets touched on briefly in Engage during Edelgard’s A-Bond with Panette. A constant behaviour with Edelgard throughout her support is how Edelgard handles negative comments both personal and criticism aim towards her quite badly. Edelgard gets offended by Caspar comment and misunderstanding of Edelgard trying to make everything about herself when in reality. She is trying to understand Caspar, his motivation and his own issues. Since the running narrative through Caspar more character focused support with Edelgard, Byleth, Ferdinand and Annette is how Caspar knows that the world owes him nothing, about Caspar inner turmoil on how he carries himself, how he wears his heart on his shoulder but also his positive belief of accepting mistakes. Edelgard in return to Caspar misunderstands, thinking Caspar is picking a fight with her and think’s his next comment is him bicking with her. Missing the point that Caspar wasn’t trying to be rude with his comment. In the JP version, her comment isn’t straight away which is a nice subtle detail showing she took personally. https://preview.redd.it/nzqb7kyu2u3b1.png?width=1608&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ed8e3d610c51a94600b1a05b9890e83ed788d1b Edelgard takes Linhardt criticism of Edelgard overbearing and caring nature personally and is hurt by it. Most notably within the JP version. Edelgard sounds like she is genuinely about to cry from that comment and yet again Ai Kakuma voicing acting shows through as Edelgard doesn’t respond to Linhardt straight away as well as stuttes over her words. This behaviour of Edelgard either taking things the wrong way or personally happens when Byleth doesn’t like Edelgard, name of “Black Eagle Strike Force”. as she spent a night thinking about it. Especially, in the JP version. Link:https://houses.fedatamine.com/ja/scenarios/246#event-184 But is also a continued thing within 3 Hopes and is something Hubert acknowledges in his support with Monica. Hubert: Lady Edelgard can be quite sensitive, despite how she carries herself.Edelgard being a sensitive person and that has a negative reception response is something we can tie back into her trauma and having C-PTSD. It clear Edelgard suffer from many of the symptoms but the most relevant ones is: Hyperarousal (feeling "on edge")Edelgard's response to Linhardt, Caspar, Byleth and Monica in these moments is out of trauma, her doing so unconsciously and is actually a part of Edelgard dislike being she doesn’t like losing control of her emotion and composure. ( Something that Treehouse mistranslated. ) https://preview.redd.it/zo1od2vw2u3b1.png?width=585&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d8b1b7cb1bfb28dba1b50f08170e29f4e3809d2 And the thing is that 3 Hopes implies Edelgard realises how she is acting emotionally after the conversation ends. Hubert: I thought you might be interest to know that Lady Edelgard was overcome with grief as she told me how deeply she regrets wounding you with her words. ( Hubert support with Monica. )This behaviour of Edelgard is one of the two central focuses behind both the C support, done in a subtle manner and B support, in a more overt manner. Showcasing how Edelgard negative natural response clashes with Bernadetta responses, the other central focus. Bernadetta is similar to Edelgard in a way that she also acts in a certain way due to her trauma, acting under Hyperarousal. ( It something that she acknowledges in their 3 Hopes support which we will get to later. ) Bernadetta's natural response to people is fear, due to the abuse she suffered under her father's hand, in his attempt to make a “nobles housewife” and how he treated her. Bernadetta's natural response is fear. It is a Fight or Flight response, stumbling over words and saying the wrong thing. Despite the music in the background of their B support makes you think it a light heart one. The point behind it is showcasing the flawed approach of dealing with Bernadetta. At first, she is being very sympathetic towards Bernadetta but because she has caught her off guard. It has triggered a Bernadetta response. Which in turn caused Edelgard to go “Edelgard Von Hreslvg, leader of the Black Eagles Mode” as a response of getting annoyed and trying to make Bernadetta understand her own issues. In turn Edelgard becomes very forthright with how she carries herself, losing the kindness she normally has behind her words. Which just makes the whole conversation fall apart from there because of the more restrictive way of Edelgard carrying herself. https://preview.redd.it/eus4ygjy2u3b1.png?width=1038&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e9c89b61e9efc032649b0bb590153383f94cd8a Edelgard in a sense had the wrong approach to deal with Bernadetta and her anxiety whilst suffering from her own issues of losing herself in her emotion in both their C and B. And it is something that Edelgard improves on over the course of 5 years being surrounded by her Friends as their A support starts off much more natural. Edelgard and Bernedetta are spending time together, enjoying their hobby of gardening. This alone is a lot for Edelgard as both games make it clear that she doesn’t relax enough, so for her to allow herself to relax and spend time with people. Avoidance and emotional numbingShow’s Edelgard overcoming more of her trauma, despite her previous statement of acceptance over what has happened to her and how she tries to not dwell on the past.. It also shows a progression in their relationship as Bernadetta feels more calm and natural around Edelgard. To the point of accidently hitting on Edelgard. https://preview.redd.it/n0ytu3zz2u3b1.png?width=569&format=png&auto=webp&s=619b17958cd5dbdecde658e3b89779ef506ead57 The main part of the A support is showcasing the improvement in their relationship and how they carry themselves towards each other and in general overcoming their issues. Bernadetta learns to come outside of her room thanks to Edelgard and the Beagles. Something she only does in CF and SB. She doesn’t allow her fear to control her like it used to and is happy that she came to the Monastery. While Edelgard has learned to not let anger control her, to not get sensitive comments made towards her, not letting her Hyperarousal control her. And she is grateful for meeting Bernadetta. This scene shows her growth perfectly. C and B support Edelgard would have lost their emotion after Bernadetta's short burst of anxiety attack. While Post Times skip Edelgard is chill, keeping calm with her words and showing kindness behind them, she is able to calm down Bernadetta. https://preview.redd.it/5eb8liw13u3b1.png?width=1554&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8b473cdc82eaa8e007c8ac5a6450554a8abc9c6 Afterward, they go back to playing with the garden, watching a flower bloom. Which is a really nice conclusion to their support. Both Bernadetta and Edelgard share motifs of flowers. For Bernadetta, it is a hobby she slowly tries to share with others one way or another. Taking happy in the quiet and gentle nature of the hobby. While for Edelgard, it’s her opinion on herself. As outside of character growth in CF and SB, she doesn’t have a good opinion on herself, her poison flower line in Engage is probably one of the few good lines Engage has with using Emblem to further develop the cast of previous games and how their character interacts with character within the new games. Edelgard naturally believes that while her action of war against Fódlan is the best solution to its problem, she thinks she is a net negative on those around her and their lives. Thinking about how better Hubert life could have been if she didn’t exist if she died during the experiment. How if it wasn’t for her war in 3 Hopes, Dorothea, would have gained better education then self studying, that she wouldn’t have missed out on all sorts of experiences there. That Edelgard has robbed people of their agency and opportunity for doing what she believes is right. ( Dorothea support with Edelgard in 3 Hopes is also really good. ) That all Edelgard really does is cause suffering. Which ultimately comes to form in Hegemon Husk, the form she takes when she pushes herself to the breaking point. A form that shows her lost in self-worth and self-survival. Her having the skill like ‘Desperation’ is interesting on narrative level and shows how far she is going to make Dimitri doesn’t win. ( Despite, the skill inclusion being more thought of on a Gameplay level then Narrative.) The Design of Hegemon has a motif of flower and feather design into it. Part of her looks like leaves, feathers, wings and most notably a Carnivorous plant. Her staggering Blow is called ‘Wilted Flower’. Hegemon is a representation of Edelgard's toxic belief in herself. Hegemon Edelgard is sadly never really explained and it is very much a representation of AM and AG's writing issue. Despite how easy it would have been for AM and SS to build it up by focusing on Edelgard, ( considering she the main Antagonist.) her thoughts and feel as she slowly loses the war and her chose to lose her humanity in order to win the war and through that scene we learn about the process. https://preview.redd.it/lmxh0ro33u3b1.png?width=482&format=png&auto=webp&s=98fa8c20bea0483fbe140d34fbf2d1862911e99c It is why Edelgard lines in the JP version of their support mentions Hegemon in a way of describing Edelgard before Byleth came into their life as a monster. El died during the experiment and now she “Edelgard the Hegemon ''. But through Byleth, Bernadetta and her Friends. Edelgard accepts she is not a monster, she is not a poison flower that causes everything around her to wither and die. Edelgard is still the El from long ago. She is allowed to have hobbies, have friends, have emotion and most importantly be human. Since that is CF thematic narrative. ‘Allowing oneself to be human and to fight for a future that allow people to have the agency to be Human’. https://preview.redd.it/t8jjhr053u3b1.png?width=479&format=png&auto=webp&s=73be07bc78fc031e26a752232ed8acb9591348a0 Their ending, especially the JP version shows how much Bernadetta means to Edelgard as well as how she helps Edelgard keep in tact with her emotion. A core part of Edelgard's character and her development is her friends. How Edelgard wants to keep them around after the war rather distancing herself again. And I think that last line of how Bernadetta being Bernadetta is something that becomes a sign to people that they are finally in a period of peace. Fódlan found it True Peace. Is really nice. 3 Hopes: Trauma / Curse and Moving Forward to a Better world.Now after 3157 words, we are sadly or well happily in a CF fans case not done because 3 Hopes and SB exist. We can now get into one of Fire Emblem's best supports.Now the C support within 3 Hopes is basically a continuation of their A support in that how Edelgard and Bernadetta act is nearly exactly the same. A good part of SB is that certain relationship sorta carries over from CF and in Edelgard case, it's her relationship with female Beagles as well as Lysithea and by extension Hapi. Edelgard talks to Bernadetta in a soft tone similar to her A support in 3 House which is honestly good as it continues the tempo last left of in that game. The C support is them talking as friend’s, Edelgard asks Bernadetta if the letter she is reading from her mother. The follow talks accidentally set off Bernadetta panic response which Edelgard able to calm her down letting her know that she both has friends and that they are always around her and that Bernadetta still has family that cares about her like her mother before giving us a gut punch of a reminder that Edelgard is the last of her family but wasn’t done in a spiteful manner. https://preview.redd.it/4tyb17n63u3b1.png?width=505&format=png&auto=webp&s=25253a725f79ead94116bb67a89f9fcd3254af7a Despite this being one of about 2 - 4 lines of Edelgard talking about her family, this exchanges works so well because it establish to the player that Edelgard has told the Beagles about her past, about TWSITD and that they were there for Edelgard during her Father passing and that they just as much of family unit here as they are in CF. Which is nice. The following line of Edelgard refocusing the conversation onto Bernadetta's care for her mother is sweet. A good chunk of the C support following this is talking about Grégoire Varley and his new job role. Depending on when you unlock this support, with earliest being chapter 4. If done so early, the conversation builds on SB's previous chapter with Varley being made Bishop, Bernadetta's sad reaction to this. Only for player 5 to 10 later find out that Edelgard purposely fucked over him, knowing that the Church would and did send Assassins after him even before the war. For the sole intention of putting the Central Church in a position where she wants them while also keeping Varley, a noble put under house arrest in 3 House imply he tried rebelling like Aegir or was involved in the Experiment. Both busy but also under constant stress, anxiety and fear for what he did to Bernadetta. And for the C support to go into this for the sole reason of the positive effect of Varley rightful suffering causes me to grin. Following this, they compared Bernadetta of the past to Varley trying to lock himself away in the prestation before acknowledging how far Bernadetta has come from being a reclusive, shy girl and how Bernadetta family situation change help her for the better, now being away from her abuser. The C support raps up with Edelgard saying that its like Bernadetta curse have been lifted similar to her own, which Bernadetta tries to ask Edelgard about until Edelgard tries to hide and get Bernadetta to ignore what she said. In general, their C support is all about continuing the certain plot lines of chapter 3 when it comes to Varley and Bernadetta's opinion on the matter, seeing their relationships in this game and seeing that it hasn’t changed and that they are still close friends. Before wrapping it up in an interesting topic that hints to the future being Edelgards curse. Considering Edelgard's past, we know she is talking about trauma here. That Edelgard seeing Bernadetta being away from her father and being surrounded by both her friends and having a good relationship with her mother. Massively improved her wellbeing to the point that she says it like a curse has been lifted from her before wonder if Edelgard own curse that is caused by TWSITD has been lifted as well due to their defeat at Enbarr and them going back into hiding for time being. 3 Hopes Support ASimilar to the C support. Their support chooses to use the event of the story as the establishment event behind the support whilst continuing on with the plot line of Edelgard curse set up in support prior and it done masterfully.The support only unlock when you start chapter 12: The Rising Darkness. In other words, the return of ‘Those Who Slither in the Dark’. TWSITD are used within SB narrative quite tactically as Scarlet Blaze main antagonist isn’t one entity but instead is all the opponents they face. SB story is all about the recontextualization of Edelgard ideology and desire for a world that puts commoners and giving people agency over their own lives. And how because of Edelgard action and ideology, she has made the ‘Fódlan’, the ‘World’ her enemy and through this narrative it reframes not just SB story but 3 House, CF and Edelgard role in that narrative as well. Claude and let's say Baron Dominic is just as much of an Antagonist to her then Dimitri, Rhea, Church of Seiros and TWSITD for example. Furthermore, TWSITD are used as a ticking time. From when we defeat them in Chapter 3 and then going into hiding, which in turn fails the agreement Edelgard made to Rhea about capturing Thalas alive. We know that at some point during the story, that TWSITD will return to strike back against Edelgard and the Empire. We the player during our first playthrough just don’t know when. Unfortunately, for Edelgard. When TWSITD strike it’s at the worst times as similar to Claude and Count Gloucester strategic plan of fooling Edelgard and cutting off Leopold supply route forcing Edelgard to change her plan’s. Edelgard is about to win the war, she has Dimitri on the backfoot. She just took Brennius Territory, which shares a border with Blaiddyd meaning she is marching away from Fhirdiad. If she wins that battle against Dimitri and the remaining Eastern Faerghus forces. The Kingdom is done allowing Edelgard to then go after the Central Church and Rhea. Meaning that Edelgard would then have control over Fódlan if her negotiation with the Alliance goes well allowing her to then target TWSITD freely. ( Though this depends if you chose to have Shez continue their vengeance or to go after the contractor of the Jeralt Merc band being Rodrigue. In other words, fighting for a higher cause than revenge. If Shez kills Jeralt, Byleth / Sothis persuades Claude to follow his own plans, machanation and agency causing him to betray Edelgard. ) Until news of a revolt caused by TWSITD breaks out in Hyrm and Ordelia forcing Edelgard and her Alliance Allies to deal with them, their distraction in turn free Ludwig Aegir from jail causing a co-op and taking control of Fort Merceus. TWSITD purposely struck at the worst time for Edelgard, knowing that she would go back to Hyrm to deal with them as within Chapter 5. Edelgard stated that so long as you align yourself with the Empire or look for them in support. She will never turn her back on you. Narratively this is the 3rd time she shot herself in the leg in the route. Which is caused by either her strategy in Claude case or by her ideology in Lonato early rebellion and TWSITD return, causing the prolonging of the war. Edelgard is to blame here. This is where Edelgard support with Bernadetta continues from. With the return of TWSITD. So has Edelgard trauma, her curse. Because of this, she has started to hide herself away at night in order to continue strategizing on how to deal with TWSITD. Worry about whether or not the Embarr is safe and if there is another imposter within their army. Before Bernadetta comes in to hide in her hiding spot for a while in order to be alone. https://preview.redd.it/43n5ili93u3b1.png?width=919&format=png&auto=webp&s=9e7e82329e65b960b51f2637f0868a63bb1a5fd9 After a small chinwag, Bernadetta is able to see through Edelgard mask, asking if she is ok and is willing to be there to listen to Edelgard troubles. Something that Edelgard tries to make a light joke about and how she could go on and on about her many issues to the point of trapping Bernadetta there forever whilst ‘misunderstanding’ Bernadetta intention or well Edelgard was trying to hide core issues she has been having. Afterwhich, Bernadetta straightaway notices, calls Edelgard out on her bluff and brings up the end of their C support, about how Bernadetta trauma / curse being lifted and that Edelgard thought hers was lifted too. https://preview.redd.it/zsidy35b3u3b1.png?width=785&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b7d64119ca5203bfe30955be2b6a3a3ec9afdad Until they returned after TWSITD latest action, Bernadetta was able to see that Edelgard curse and trauma has been eating away at her, that she has been hiding away at night for sole intention of trying to deal with them. Edelgard admitted to Bernadetta that she was right on the money and was surprised to see Bernie see right through her quite easily. Edelgard admits to her friend that her curse has returned, that her thoughts about her curse / trauma and how it might have finally been lifted after battle in Embarr was nothing more than wishful thinking and that now Thalas is not just alive but is not alone as he has been scheming as well. Edelgard is now letting her thoughts go to her head. Which is something Bernadetta relates to with her own struggle that she continues to still have. How if she was to stay outside too long, she gets seized by a panic that forces her to hide away. Bernadetta still has her Hyperarousal, she still suffers from fight or flight response and it is something she is still learning to deal with. Which is where a core foundation of Edelgard ideology and character comes in being her realism but also her hope and positivity. https://preview.redd.it/cp22bfic3u3b1.png?width=849&format=png&auto=webp&s=2819d09052a13ae415cb6f6313c7b4236bbd3573 https://preview.redd.it/83gehw7d3u3b1.png?width=814&format=png&auto=webp&s=2cf07bf14b14583de011240ddde8c7eb4f11e339 This being the idea that life is a bit of a bitch at times, that we all have our own scars, issues, trauma, curses but the only thing we can do is keep going forward. These two lines are not just a call back to Edelgard comments to Byleth after Jeralt but are an expansion on them and give us a further understanding as to why she said what she did. https://preview.redd.it/op6yybie3u3b1.png?width=364&format=png&auto=webp&s=19e1680542ee3f2432af16eaee46c46c2ceba498 Edelgard said what she did to Byleth, not out of malice but out of realism. She knows that cuddling up to Byleth will only do so much and understanding that the only person that can pull someone out grief, that can cause a person to stand up again and continue living and fight is themselves. Which is true in therapy, you can’t cuddle or force someone to be better, you can support them but it is their choice at the end of the day. Their choice on whether or not they want to help themselves. Edelgard has accepted what has happened to her and family as just a part of life. They died and there is nothing she can do to bring them back. All she can do is continue moving forward, continue living while they are dead. A core foundation of Edelgard character is her realism, facing reality head on. Which where the hope side of her character comes, her idealism and where Edelgard character truly shines: https://preview.redd.it/kfgd445g3u3b1.png?width=1027&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d79b6d168ed7f83626fafb00c73720f91122071 https://preview.redd.it/34hy9uug3u3b1.png?width=788&format=png&auto=webp&s=1bb03a80cc6541b516b2fb16e24026457527ec7c https://preview.redd.it/o80w18hh3u3b1.png?width=872&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f835500828f8f753df3f44bf2d8ac854acab6bd Edelgard gives us a core reason why she is fighting her war and it's also Bernadetta's reason for supporting Edelgard and her war other than being her friend. In that despite her family being dead. She wants to make a world where no one suffers like she has. Where no one has to bear the Scars, Curses and trauma like she has. Where there are no more victims who had the similar or the same story as Edelgard and Bernadetta has. Edelgard is trying to do something positive about the world in response to what has happened to her. Edelgard, the Beagles, the Empire are fighting for a world where those who want to achieve can do so while those who wish to have a quiet life can do so as well. Fighting for a world that isn’t one or the other. Where there can be both Ferdinand who strives to be the best and Bernadetta who wants to have a quiet life. This part in particular builds off Edelgard support with Constance and how Edelgard's new system works.. This dream world, this future they are building isn’t exclusive to Edelgard, but instead something they are all part of. The support wraps up in Bernadetta gaining back positivity from Edelgard words, being inspired, saying that if they can truly do it, then she will be right by Edelgard and celebrate by locking herself in her room. Something that Edelgard says is acceptable as long as she takes care of the things she needs to do. With the last sentence being Bernadetta being a true introvert. Why I love this support and sorta conclusionFor me this is one of my favourite support because it uses the game's main story to its advantages whilst building on the relationship already established in 3 House. TWSITD return would triggered Edelgard issues. It makes sense to focus on that within a support given how tight of a pacing SB and CF got and how understand the importance of each scene.Through having it be a support and having set with Bernadetta, a character who also has Trauma. It allows both characters to bounce off each other whilst developing them in a natural way because they relate off each. This is very much Bernadetta's support as it is Edelgard because we get to understand more of her Trauma. The anxiety she has. Other than it being an Edelgard support which is normally a net plus because most of the time her support tries to focus on both character’s in some form. It’s a support that really focuses on Edelgard, how she views her trauma but notably. Her optimism and hope. She is very much an optimistic character in ideology, believing in the potential of others and is probably the most optimistic despite having a realistic world view. There is so much good about this support and how it uses things to its advantage that I can’t stop thinking about it but I sadly should because I wrote a lot here. PS: WE NEED MORE EDELDATTA ( Edelgard and Bernadetta.) ART AND FICS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH HEGEMON. SERIOUSLY HEGIE ON IT OWN IS ALWAYS A WIN. #GiveBerniePlantEl. |

Chris: Last time on Total Drama Triple D. Before the morning even started Topher was put out of commission for the day. Too bad, because he missed the epic callback challenge! Teams chose members to do the classic thousand-foot cliff jump into shark infested waters! Some succeeded, some failed and some were just plain old chickens. But don't count your chickens before they hatch, as in the second half of the challenge Cameron helped her team build a proper boat and Lightning paddled the Lions to their first victory. While Sierra straight up threw DJ into the water! Bro, seriously couldn't swim, whatta ya know? In the end The Octopi came in last and voted Sierra out of the competition. Can the Lions keep the wins aloft and will the Narwhals continue to sail on by in this competition. Find out right now on Total Drama Triple D of Danganronpa: Despair Disaster!
[Cut to the boys cabin. Korekiyo sitting on the floor quietly chanting]
Makoto: Hmph…huh?
Korekiyo: Good morning, Mr. Naegi
Makoto: What time is it? Where's Mondo?
Keebo: It's 7:30 in the morning and he left around 6:15.
Shuichi: You've been awake since then, Keebo?
Keebo: No, I was still in sleep mode, but my eyes still record everything and stores it in my memory banks.
Ryoma: So, you are always recording everything that's happened?
Kokichi: Ew, never took you to be a voyeur key-boy, nee hee hee.
Keebo: T-that's not it at all!
Makoto: I'm gonna go look for Mondo-oof oh, sorry Mikan.
Mikan: No, I'm sorry for being in your way please forgive me.
Shuichi: What's up, Mikan?
Mikan: I'm just letting members of your team know that Taka is feeling better. He should be ready to join you all later this morning.
Makoto: Ah, that's great. Thanks for the update, Mikan.
Mikan: If you'd like, you can talk with him, but you'll have to wait until Mondo is done.
Shuichi: Huh, Mondo went to visit Taka?
Kokichi: Hey, no fair. He's part of our team, not yours, Shuichi!
Shuichi: I didn't tell him to go there.
Makoto: Maybe I'll go see how he's doing.
Nagito: Mind if I come along? I must make it up to Taka for causing him so much pain.
Makoto: Sure, I guess it'd be okay.
[Cut to Nagito and Makoto walking to the infirmary tent]
Nagito: I must say we really struggled without him. To think without our Moral Compass, we crumbled as a team.
Makoto: Well, I wouldn't say it was all because we didn't have Taka, but hopefully we can bounce back from this loss.
Nagito: Ah yes, we really do just need to have hope.
Makoto: Right…oh there's Sayaka! Good morning!
Sayaka: Oh yes, good morning, Makoto, Nagito.
Makoto: Is everything okay? You don't seem like yourself this morning.
Nagito: Maybe it is due to the harrowing close loss of yesterday. But cheer up for today is a new day!
Sayaka: Thanks Nagito…I guess. But actually, it's more about Himiko.
Makoto: What's wrong with Himiko?
Sayaka: Well last night she slept on the other side of the girl's cabin. Maybe it was just so she didn't have to sleep with Junko but this morning she's just been really quiet. Even more than usual.
Makoto: Really? What do you think is going on?
Sayaka: If I had to guess, she's probably missing Tenko. I think they were good friends so seeing her leave already is getting to her.
Nagito: Really, this is all about Tenko, huh? Such a shame to see Himiko be hurt by our decision, but it was a decision that had to be made, nonetheless.
Sayaka: If you say so. I dread us coming in last. I worry that my team doesn't see me as a valuable teammate and will vote me off like Tenko.
Makoto: Well, uh, that's not exactly why we voted off Tenko, but don't be thinking like that, Sayaka. You're super talented and they should be proud to have you on your team.
Nagito: Better than having the talent of luck. Much good that did for us last challenge.
Makoto: Yeah…at least here we're not really judged on talent so much.
Sayaka: [giggle] You're right, thank you guys for the confidence boost. I guess Taka's really rubbing off on you, Makoto. By the way have you heard anything about him?
Makoto: Oh, right Mikan said he's feeling better and we're actually on our way to go see him.
Sayaka: Well, then I won't keep you guys. See you later then and tell Taka I'm glad he's feeling better.
Nagito: But you're not on our team. Wouldn't it be beneficial to you if we're down another member?
Sayaka: Ugh, I never liked all this inter-team drama. It's bad enough we have inner team drama with Miu and Fuyuhiko, and now Junko's upset with Himiko. Plus, he's still part of our class, right? Anyway, I've said enough. See you later, boys. [She runs off towards the dining cabin]
Makoto: Bye, Sayaka. [to Nagito] It's strange I never thought about everyone feeling they may not be beneficial to their team. I mean they are Ultimates but I guess talent doesn't matter too much in this competition.
Nagito: But being Ultimates means they'll always have the hope to succeed in any challenge they are faced with. Not like us useless Ultimates with nothing talents. No wonder we lost the last competition.
Makoto: Well, I hope Taka can motivate the team again. Speaking of which, we're here.
Nagito: Interesting, it sounds like he's still not alone in there.
Makoto: Hey, you're right! Is that Mondo?
Mondo: …and then Nekomaru paddled everyone back to shore himself. Bro, it was incredible. To think the big guy finally came through with his wanton speed.
Taka: Sounds absolutely amazing! I really hate that I missed out on such a worthwhile competition.
Makoto: Yeah, we really could've used you.
Mondo: O-oh, hey Makoto, Nagito, what are you doing here?
Nagito: We should ask you the same question. What's a guy from the other team doing talking to our teammate? Trying to weigh in the on competition I see. Figures you'd resort to such underhanded tactics.
Mondo: What'd you say? You think that's how it is?!
Taka: Hold on bro, I'll take care of this. Actually Nagito, Makoto, Mondo here was just recounting everything I missed yesterday. And I appreciate it. Nice to wake up to a bro who's got your back even if we are on different teams.
Nagito: Oh, then my bad for jumping to conclusions. I just came to apologize for causing you harm. Although, it's to be expected when you're around me.
Taka: Apology accepted, Nagito!
Makoto: But Mondo, have you really been here since around 6:15 when Keebo saw you leave the cabin.
Mondo: Well, yeah, I-uh care about the well-being of my classmates is all. Even if we are in a competition. I don't wanna see them get weak, y'know.
Taka: Well put, bro. Plus you've proven to me that even team boundaries shouldn't matter when it comes to supporting each other. This may be a competition, but we're friends first and foremost!
Nagito: Yes, I love it. The kind of inspiration we need from the Ultimate Moral Compass. I can feel the hope in succeeding in this competition rejuvenating us as we speak.
Makoto:.........
Taka:........All right then.
Mondo: Hey, he's your teammate.
[The three laugh as the camera pans to Junko eavesdropping outside]
[Confessional]
Junko: [cutesy] Oh, the hope returns to our team and makes us just the best of friends! [normal] Hgggck! Give me a break! Still there is too much comrade going on. Time for a little sibling talk, like old times.
[End]
[Cut to the girl's cabin]
Sonia: Don't be too late for breakfast, okay Mukuro!
Mukuro: Don't worry, I'm just going to take a quick look around the camp. It won't take long. [Leaves through the door]
Junko: Hey ya, ugly!
Mukuro: Agh, u-uh yes, good morning to you too, sister.
Junko: Hey, no need to be so formal. We're not carrying out anything now, so feel free to take it easy. Call me Junko or Heather if you want. I'm still going to call you ugly though.
Mukuro: Yes, of course Junko.
Junko: So, how are you getting along with your team, huh? Probably the best of friends, right?
Mukuro: Well, we haven't lost a challenge since the first but…
Junko: But you've never won, like my team! So, you wanna be useful to your team then?
Mukuro: I do but everything I do never helps us win, just well, not get last.
Junko: That's because you're playing it too safe, stupid. You gotta play dirty to get ahead, like moi! Just don't get caught, okay. I can't bail your sorry butt out when we're not on the same team.
Mukuro: Play dirty? But how should I do that?
Junko: Hey, you're mildly smart. I bet you could figure it out yourself. Just focus on sabotaging a team to make sure you're not last. Simple as that really
Mukuro: I see….
Junko: Well, that's all I wanted to say. Gotta meet with my amazing team for breakfast now. Bye ya, Mukie! [Walks passed to leave but stops to solemnly say] Don't disappoint me, again.
[Mukuro stands there for a bit after Junko leaves]
Aoi: Oh, Mukuro you're still here?
Mukuro: Huh? What?
Sonia: I thought you were going to take a walk.
Mukuro: Oh yes, I-it was just a quick walk. I'm already back.
Hiyoko: Well then, enough yapping. I'm hungry and we've wasted enough time as it is. Kyoko and Peko are probably already eating by now.
Sonia: Yes, let's do the dipping. Right, girls!
Aoi: [chuckle] Sure thing, Sonia.
Mukuro: Hmhm, yes of course.
[Confessional]
Mukuro: Junko's right, I have been feeling worthless, but still, I can't say my team's completely against me, right? A little sabotage shouldn't hurt anything…
[End]
[Cut to the dining cabin]
Junko: So, my wonderful team, how's everyone doing?
Mikan: Uh um, fine, I guess?
Rantaro: We're kinda down two teammates right now.
Sayaka: I don't think Himiko is going to join us right now. She's still lying in cabin.
Toko: Okay then where is Fake Master?
Tsumugi: [chuckle]
Fuyuhiko: You mean the Byakuya from our class. No clue, the guy just up and left early this morning. Not a word from him but he's been quiet anyway.
Tsumugi: [giggle]
Miu: Alright, four-eyes what's got you so giddy.
Tsumugi: Hmhm, wait for it…
Gonta: Wait for what?
[The dining room door swings open and inside walks Imposter. He is no longer wearing his white suit, but instead has on a red sweatshirt, jean shorts, a black jacket, and a red baseball cap turned backwards.]
Mikan: What the…Byakuya?
[Imposter puts his hand up and then holds them out close together]
Mikan: No sorry… less, right? So just B then?
[Imposter gives a thumbs up]
Tsumugi: What do you think! B asked me to make him this outfit last night. I think it suits his new personality quite well.
Byakuya: Hold it right there. [He gets up from the Rhinos table] I see, so this is your new gimmick, huh? [Studies Imposter] Well, better than thinking you could possibly be me.
Toko: So true, no one could ever replace Master.
Chris: Good morning, campers! I hope you're all rested and ready for today's challenge. Hmm, it seems most of the teams are missing some people.
Akane: Did Nagito hurt Taka and Makoto this time?
Kaede: Akane!
Taka: Don't worry Octopi, I have arrived with the others ready and raring to start a new day!
Kaede: Taka! Thank goodness you're feeling better.
Ibuki: We absolutely missed you! Topher's team was totally falling apart with you.
Keebo: Well, I wouldn't say that, but we were a little unstable without your guidance.
Chris: That's great for you guys, but enough with the reunion, I'm trying to get this show going. Topher, Cody, Harold and Brick take your seats. So that only leaves…Narwhals where's Staci?
Sayaka: She's...uh, not feeling well. I mean she's not sick, but I don't think she's up to being with us today.
Chris: Like I care about your personal feelings and neither do the viewing audience. Chef, go bring Staci her-
Himiko: Don't bother…Nyeh, I'm here now.
Chris: Great! Now we can finally get this challenge started. I feel like we've wasted nine minutes on pointless stuff.
Tsumugi: Himiko, are you alright?
Himiko: I'm fine, okay. I was just…. Nyeh, getting hungry that's all. Guess I was needed here anyway.
Chris: Indeed, because we're about to begin the next challenge. It's another Flashback Challenge: The Talent Competition!
Nagito: Oh my, a Talent Competition, with the most talented people in the world. How exhilarating.
Chris: Exactly. I've been watching you all and noticed you're pretty much freaks of nature when it comes to talent, so I thought it'd fit this group the best. However originally this competition just had teams pick three members to perform individually. This time you have to pick at least three members to perform together! Use your freaky talents to make one big display which Chef and I will grade not just on the impressiveness of the talent but also the cohesiveness of the members performing. So, get to choosing your performers. The competition will start in three hours.
Korekiyo: A question, Chris. You said at least three of us must perform but could there be more?
Chris: Sure, if more of you want to embarrass yourselves go for it. Let's just say no more than five to not crowd up the stage. Now hurry, times a wastin!
[Team Raging Rhinos]
Sonia: Alright team, let's first decide who's going to be performing.
Hiyoko: I could do a dance if the rest of you want to perform around that.
Kyoko: Ideally, it'd be one of us who has a more concrete and flashy talent. So unfortunately, I would be no help as a detective here.
Byakuya: I wouldn't want to help even if I could. Performing is for the peasants who can't get ahead in life.
Sonia: While I don't share the same sentiments as Byakuya, I don't believe being an Ultimate Princess is going to be too flashy of a talent here either.
Kazuichi: I could definitely build something to go along with someone else's performance.
Sonia: Oh, how about Gundham putting on a show with his Dark Devas.
Gundham: Speak not, Dark Lady, for the Devas do not trifle with the mediocrity of carefree showmanship.
Yasuhiro: Come on man, just have them do flips around Hiyoko while she's dancing or something.
Hiyoko: Ew gross! I don't want those filthy hamsters anywhere near me when I dance.
Gundham: You dare insult the cleanliness of my Devas! I'll have you know they not only know how to clean themselves of filth from this dimension but several beyond as well!
Leon: Dude chill, no one's insinuating anything about your hamsters.
Aoi: I doubt we could get a swimming pool on that stage.
Sonia: No, probably not. Peko, Mukuro, do you have any thoughts?
Peko: Well, my skills with a sword could be considered performative, but I'm not sure how well it'll fit with Hiyoko's dancing.
Mukuro: I don't suppose we have any guns or knives around. Those are really the only thing I'm good with.
Yasuhiro: Well, I'm not sure about guns, but there's probably some knives in the kitchen.
Hiyoko: Knives, with my dancing?! How's the even going to work dumb[bleep].
Yasuhiro: H-hey, I'm just trying to help. No need to get so hostile.
Kazuichi: I bet we could think of some way to tie it all together.
Byakuya: I'd say it's worth a shot. Let both of the weakest links fail together.
[Confessional]
Byakuya: I'm not truly sure who's the weakest link in our team. The annoying dancer was definitely it at first, but recently the soldier girl hasn't been very useful in challenges, always falling short. No better way to weed them out then put their talents against each other, I'd theorize. And if we lose, it'll be obvious who to vote out.

Mikan: What the…Byakuya?
[Imposter puts his hand up and then holds them out close together]
Mikan: No sorry… less, right? So just B then?
[Imposter gives a thumbs up]
Tsumugi: What do you think! B asked me to make him this outfit last night. I think it suits his new personality quite well.
Byakuya: Hold it right there. [He gets up from the Rhinos table] I see, so this is your new gimmick, huh? [Studies Imposter] Well, better than thinking you could possibly be me.
Toko: So true, no one could ever replace Master.
Chris: Good morning, campers! I hope you're all rested and ready for today's challenge. Hmm, it seems most of the teams are missing some people.
Akane: Did Nagito hurt Taka and Makoto this time?
Kaede: Akane!
Taka: Don't worry Octopi, I have arrived with the others ready and raring to start a new day!
Kaede: Taka! Thank goodness you're feeling better.
Ibuki: We absolutely missed you! Topher's team was totally falling apart with you.
Keebo: Well, I wouldn't say that, but we were a little unstable without your guidance.
Chris: That's great for you guys, but enough with the reunion, I'm trying to get this show going. Topher, Cody, Harold and Brick take your seats. So that only leaves…Narwhals where's Staci?
Sayaka: She's...uh, not feeling well. I mean she's not sick, but I don't think she's up to being with us today.
Chris: Like I care about your personal feelings and neither do the viewing audience. Chef, go bring Staci her-
Himiko: Don't bother…Nyeh, I'm here now.
Chris: Great! Now we can finally get this challenge started. I feel like we've wasted nine minutes on pointless stuff.
Tsumugi: Himiko, are you alright?
Himiko: I'm fine, okay. I was just…. Nyeh, getting hungry that's all. Guess I was needed here anyway.
Chris: Indeed, because we're about to begin the next challenge. It's another Flashback Challenge: The Talent Competition!
Nagito: Oh my, a Talent Competition, with the most talented people in the world. How exhilarating.
Chris: Exactly. I've been watching you all and noticed you're pretty much freaks of nature when it comes to talent, so I thought it'd fit this group the best. However originally this competition just had teams pick three members to perform individually. This time you have to pick at least three members to perform together! Use your freaky talents to make one big display which Chef and I will grade not just on the impressiveness of the talent but also the cohesiveness of the members performing. So, get to choosing your performers. The competition will start in three hours.
Korekiyo: A question, Chris. You said at least three of us must perform but could there be more?
Chris: Sure, if more of you want to embarrass yourselves go for it. Let's just say no more than five to not crowd up the stage. Now hurry, times a wastin!
[Team Raging Rhinos]
Sonia: Alright team, let's first decide who's going to be performing.
Hiyoko: I could do a dance if the rest of you want to perform around that.
Kyoko: Ideally, it'd be one of us who has a more concrete and flashy talent. So unfortunately, I would be no help as a detective here.
Byakuya: I wouldn't want to help even if I could. Performing is for the peasants who can't get ahead in life.
Sonia: While I don't share the same sentiments as Byakuya, I don't believe being an Ultimate Princess is going to be too flashy of a talent here either.
Kazuichi: I could definitely build something to go along with someone else's performance.
Sonia: Oh, how about Gundham putting on a show with his Dark Devas.
Gundham: Speak not, Dark Lady, for the Devas do not trifle with the mediocrity of carefree showmanship.
Yasuhiro: Come on man, just have them do flips around Hiyoko while she's dancing or something.
Hiyoko: Ew gross! I don't want those filthy hamsters anywhere near me when I dance.
Gundham: You dare insult the cleanliness of my Devas! I'll have you know they not only know how to clean themselves of filth from this dimension but several beyond as well!
Leon: Dude chill, no one's insinuating anything about your hamsters.
Aoi: I doubt we could get a swimming pool on that stage.
Sonia: No, probably not. Peko, Mukuro, do you have any thoughts?
Peko: Well, my skills with a sword could be considered performative, but I'm not sure how well it'll fit with Hiyoko's dancing.
Mukuro: I don't suppose we have any guns or knives around. Those are really the only thing I'm good with.
Yasuhiro: Well, I'm not sure about guns, but there's probably some knives in the kitchen.
Hiyoko: Knives, with my dancing?! How's the even going to work dumb[bleep].
Yasuhiro: H-hey, I'm just trying to help. No need to get so hostile.
Kazuichi: I bet we could think of some way to tie it all together.
Byakuya: I'd say it's worth a shot. Let both of the weakest links fail together.
[Confessional]
Byakuya: I'm not truly sure who's the weakest link in our team. The annoying dancer was definitely it at first, but recently the soldier girl hasn't been very useful in challenges, always falling short. No better way to weed them out then put their talents against each other, I'd theorize. And if we lose, it'll be obvious who to vote out.

2023.06.03 17:47 McDuck89 Help With Trim Paint Choices, Please
 | Hey Everyone, I’m driving myself a little bit crazy and have already wasted a bit of money on paint. We’re having a baby and I’m in the process of making some changes to my apartment and I’m painting the entire thing. This is gonna be a bit long but I appreciate any and all help. I’ve included some photos of the current state of the apartment. It’s a railroad. Ignore the boob lights and some items of furniture which will be changed. I’m likely keeping the tile in the kitchen the same but I wanna change the walls from the current red and I can possibly paint the cabinets in the future. submitted by McDuck89 to interiordecorating [link] [comments] My understanding it that all moldings (Baseboards, doorways and crown moldings) throughout the space should match for continuity. But I’m also finding mixed advice on whether you should use the same white on the walls. Some say to use the same white but in a lower sheen while others say you can even use a completely different white even if it’s opposing (Warm vs cool). As of now, I’m only planning on painting the walls, baseboards and doorways, but not the crown moldings as it would just be way too much work. The crown moldings right now are an extremely bright white from Behr. I think it’s their standard flat ceiling paint which is called ultra pure white. It’s whiter than anything Benjamin Moore offers, I believe, including chantilly lace. Apart from the ceiling paint that was done when I got the apartment, I’m gonna use only Benjamin Moore paint. Will I get away with using BM Advance super white (More hide and less work) for the baseboards and doorways or do I have to use something like chantilly lace (Less hide and more work)? I’m planning on doing my living room walls in a white with a dark charcoal or black accent wall, which I currently have but I’m switching from Regal Select matte to Scuff X matte, because I’d rather have clean paint with a slightly higher sheen that’s extremely durable and washable in a high-traffic area. Do I have to use super white if I go with that color or can I go with oxford white or stick with simply white? It’s currently simply white matte with simply white baseboards in satin and I feel like it looks funny against the super bright crown moldings, because you can really see the yellow in it, which I like but clashes a bit with the crown moldings. The accent wall is cheating heart in matte. I’m thinking of switching to oxford white or something else but I’m worried about it being too bright like a hospital. I really need help. I hear that the sheen in Scuff X matte is more like an eggshell at first but lowers over the course of 2-3 weeks to more of an actual matte. I can see that in the nursery which is currently in Scuff X matte in the color constellation. The bathroom is likely gonna be gentleman’s gray. Not sure about the bedroom and kitchen but I’m thinking trout grey for one of them. Thank you for any and all help! |
2023.06.03 17:46 xSuperChiink 10 year breakup vent
I'm 28M, she is 28F.
I want to vent as objectively as possible about our relationship to help me process through it. Sorry if this comes off as a big ramble.
Hurt does not describe the absolute crushing pain and disrespect I feel from the one person who I thought loved me.
We were together for 10 years from 18 to 28. Highschool sweethearts. So much and so little has happened in those years. We had a far from normal relationship. We were each others first real relationship and first everything basically.
We've gone through highschool together, college, navigating through our 20's moving up in our careers, bought a house, and were planning on getting married next year.
We've had a lot of problems since the beginning.
She was always insecure. Always seeking validation, during our relationship and even before we were together in highschool.
In the first 1-3 years, she was constantly building relationships with co-workers and developing crushes. I've found out one way or another whether it was direct messages she was having with them and hiding or her talking with her friends about them. She's stayed with the same company but has moved to different stores and there was always someone she would start crushing on no matter where she was. There has been about 4-5 different guys this has happened with. I know, dumb of me to stay and give her that many chances but love makes you do stupid things I guess. From what I know she did not do anything physical with any of them and was more so flirting conversations. This is a reoccurring theme of our relationship from year 1 to today.
Sex has also been an issue for us since those early years as we were not having sex or anything as often as I would have like and she never wanted too. We would have sex about once every 1-1.5 months. It was less of me trying to fuck and more so wanting to make love and just overall loving her in that way. It was always pretty basic. Nothing extra spicy. This coupled with her talking to guys hurt because all I wanted was more of her and she was giving time and energy to someone else.
During all these times, she was always projecting onto me, accusing me of talking to someone since that's what she was doing so I must be too apparently. She was wrong at first until I did seek out someone.
Eventually being hurt enough by this, instead of leaving I found a stranger online I was talking too. This went from being just someone to talk and vent about this stuff with to sending nudes etc. I know I'm not perfect here either.
She found out and this put a massive dent in our relationship with the already existing insecurities. I believe all these insecure issues shes always had with me stemmed from her and what she was doing and for some reason nothing she did was ever the issue and she made it known that I was the bad guy and I ruined us. She would hold this against me for years and could never fully trust me. Constant accusations. Always thinking I'm up to something no matter what I was doing.
Years 4-6.
She has a very normal/average typical family life. Nothing crazy, no drama.
My life has been the complete opposite. Very dramatic. My family had a falling out. I got kicked out of my home and her family took me in to live with them. I am so thankful and love her parents/family for taking me in as their own when my parents didn't want. They've done so much for me/us.
We both wanted me to live with them but this "forced" us together. This meant all those insecurities and issues we had basically never got fully address and we were never able to work through them.
We lived with her parents for 1 year, and decided to skip the apartment life and jump into buying a home. This took another year until we were moved into our home together.
Years 6-10.
We lived in this home for 4 years. Navigating living on our own together. Responsibilities of homeownership. This was supposed to be a fresh start for us. All these issues we had were supposed to be left behind us. I suppose that's hard when we never addressed them in the first place.
Im not perfect. I had my issues too. She holds against me cheating, being abusive, and having drinking problems.
I've mentioned my cheating.
The abusive part I am torn on. I am not defending myself because what I did was wrong. I was half asleep and she came angrily waking me up again accusing me of something. I woke up confused and became black out angry with how built up these accusations were and i realzied thats what this was about. I got so mad I pushed her and had my hands pushing on her on the floor. We've talked about this and she realized I was wrong for that but understood my reaction after realizing how the situation played out. I've never put my hands on her again since.
Drinking. I like to come home and have 1 beer. When I'm out with my friends, I do drink too much. I've passed out before at friends houses. I've never done anything wrong while drunk imo other than being too drunk with my friends and passing out or not texting her the whole time. Enjoying my time with them she would be upset when I'm not constantly talking/texting her.
I'm having so much trouble believing whether what I am/was doing was so wrong or if she's putting the blame of our failing relationship on me and ignoring everything she has done that has gotten us here while she continues to entertain other men.
She also did not have a lot of friends. She left her highscool friends when we got together. She has one girl friend from year 1 that was a coworker. That friend was also cheating on her bf at the time. So they were playing this game together.
She felt like she lost herself and who she was because we lived through my life, my friends, my family.
2 years into living together I thought things were going well. She started therapy and is still going for a year now today. I couldn't handle spiraling whether she was still doing things with guys at work or not and speculating. I decided to trust her and I genuinely did. She stopped seeing her original girl friend for a while once we moved in but reconnected and started hanging out with more Coworkers too. Whatever, I trusted her and thought we were past all those things.
Even through all of this, I proposed to her 2 years ago. We were supposed to get married next year.
6 months ago our house caught on fire.
We're in the middle of rebuilding. I work in the building industry so I've been managing all of it. We lost everything, all of our stuff, and our cat weve had forever. We moved back into her parents house together.
You can imagine how stressful this has been.
Since being at her parents, I now realize she was projecting her own actions again. She kept saying how she was worried about me "falling back into old ways" when in reality she has been developing a crush and building a relationship with intent to fuck this new coworker. She told me February is when she started talking about this extensively in therapy so this has been going on for months now.
She broke up with me 1 month ago.
We went on a trip to NY. Me not knowing this would be our last everything and she knew she was leaving.
The second we got home she told me to pack my stuff and leave because she "needed space".
In less than 10 minutes my life fell apart.
We officially broke up a few days after.
The next week we were supposed to take engagement photos on her birthday. Instead she went on a date with her new coworker interest.
She officially told me about her crush for him last night that was developing. This breakup was supposed to be her "learning about herself" "being on her own, being by herself". Yet she's been brewing and building this relationship with this guy. This guy is 10 years older. Her original girlfriend also has a man that is older and I firmly believe her flying monkeys contributed to this.
He's broken, suicidal, has a kid, and a whole lot more baggage. All of the guys shes talked to including me are broke. She bonded over his trauma while I was trying to rebuild our life. She was so stressed about our living situation being back at her parents, one day she came home and said she'd rather be at work than home with me and i realize now shed rather be at work with him than trying to be there for me when I'm also struggling.
The wedding is canceled. We're fully broken up. I thought we were past all of this and never thought we'd go through this same scenario at this point in our lives. I thought we were better. After 10 years and everything, she ended this the same way it started.
She kicked me out with no where to go in no time. While living at her parents. While I work on rebuilding our home and life. While working on our wedding. A week before our engagement photos. All to go through the same exact cheattling scenario that got us here and idk why I'm surprised.
She doesn't believe she was cheating but she was building this relationship with intention.
There's no right way to breakup but this was absolutely wrong and seeing everything as a whole, is so completely fucked, I'm so disrespected, beyond hurt. After 10 years idk who she is anymore. I should have left a while ago but our life events put us together.
I never thought someone who loved you and wanted to get married could do something so evil.
Idk how to end this but thank you for reading if you did. I hope it makes sense and not just a ramble. Owning the house together makes moving on harder and I'm afraid once we get closer to finishing, she might realize by then how fucked this situation is. Maybe the grass isn't greener. And she knows the house is tying us together and might come back. But I can't after how this unfolded.
I hope she finds what she's looking for in him. Or she is actually able to work in herself. Part of me doesn't think she's capable of actually owning up to anything and actually being self aware enough to evaluate our 10 years.
Idk. I'm working through it. Thank you.

2023.06.03 17:40 Available-Yoghurt-79 I’m finally leaving 🥳
I never posted on this subreddit, but here is my first and only one since I am moving out at the end of this month with my boyfriend. This is a long one so strap in.
I have lived in this flat with two roommates (who are my friends) for two years and a half. When I moved in it was already a huge mess, but I gathered them and divided chores among us equally and we had to do them every 2 to 4 days to keep the flat clean and cosy. This worked for exact 1 week after which I was doing all the chores alone - they left their dirty dishes, they used my dishes and left them dirty too, they threw away silverware because they were too lazy to wash it which caused me to buy more new silverware because we couldn’t eat otherwise. They left their food in the fridge to rot which I cleaned because I have a problem with baad smells and it makes me vomit. One of them occasionally clogged the canal in the bathroom with their hair, both of them were making the sink so disgusting I don’t even know how. They left their trash in the hallway and never took it out.
Because of all the filth happening we got cockroaches and I gathered them to talk again so one of them could call the landlord to fix the cockroaches problem and she said she can’t do that so we have to fix that ourselves. After that I called pest control(I think that’s what they are called) and they did their job but a month after that the cockroaches disappeared because the two of them continued to leave food outside and the trash in the hallway. All this time for a span of approximately of 6 months I was doing all the cleaning myself and frankly I got fed up and stopped cleaning anything else but my stuff, I got a cabinet in my room so I can put my dishes and silverware in. After I stopped cleaning their mess they began complaining about how dirty the apartment was and how nobody was doing anything which I find so funny considering they did nothing all along and this behaviour continues to this day but I digress.
I share a room with one of them and they take up all the space in the closet, which I don’t mind that much, because my clothes don’t take up that much space. But they began leaving their dirty clothes in there and on a pile on the ground which is just disgusting considering we have cockroaches. They complain all the time how dirty the room is and how we have to clean it up, but it was just their trash and clothes on the floor.
At this time we got black mold which got me really sick and I asked them to call the landlord to fix that problem at least which they said they’d do and still to this day had not done so theres that. At that time I couldn’t leave because I go to uni and I can’t afford a place to myself only so I stayed and kept bothering them to call the landlord daily to no avail.
Fast forward a few months I developed chronic cough, runny nose and a few new allergies thanks to the black mold(which, mind you, is toxic). My mental health has never been worse, I had no energy to do anything which affected my uni work tremendously. I figured it was my own fault that caused all these issues in both my mental and physical health for not being more pushy to my roommate to do the right thing and call the landlord.
So for the past few months I have spent at most 2 weeks in that apartment which has become so filthy I can’t even sleep there. So all in all I am so happy to be moving out officially at the end of this month. And to anyone having issues with their roommates and apartments- do not be me, speak up louder until you’re heard.
Peace and love, soon to be free mogul.🥳

I share a room with one of them and they take up all the space in the closet, which I don’t mind that much, because my clothes don’t take up that much space. But they began leaving their dirty clothes in there and on a pile on the ground which is just disgusting considering we have cockroaches. They complain all the time how dirty the room is and how we have to clean it up, but it was just their trash and clothes on the floor.
At this time we got black mold which got me really sick and I asked them to call the landlord to fix that problem at least which they said they’d do and still to this day had not done so theres that. At that time I couldn’t leave because I go to uni and I can’t afford a place to myself only so I stayed and kept bothering them to call the landlord daily to no avail.
Fast forward a few months I developed chronic cough, runny nose and a few new allergies thanks to the black mold(which, mind you, is toxic). My mental health has never been worse, I had no energy to do anything which affected my uni work tremendously. I figured it was my own fault that caused all these issues in both my mental and physical health for not being more pushy to my roommate to do the right thing and call the landlord.
So for the past few months I have spent at most 2 weeks in that apartment which has become so filthy I can’t even sleep there. So all in all I am so happy to be moving out officially at the end of this month. And to anyone having issues with their roommates and apartments- do not be me, speak up louder until you’re heard.
Peace and love, soon to be free mogul.🥳
