WW3- Be ready

2016.10.14 15:58 IamDrDre WW3- Be ready

In the event of WW3 and Nuclear warfare this subreddit is here for anyone to use and communicate. While there will be widespread panic remember to remain calm and find the nearest bunker. This sub will be up only in times of absolute diaster. I've created it because of the recent conflicts over Russia and The U.S while I don't see it developing into a world war I think this subreddit will one day become useful. Goodluck Traveler

2023.06.01 17:59 5010703060 My 28M dad 58M is obsessed with conspiracies. What do I do?

Pretty much the title. My (28M) dad (58M) obsesses over a large number of conspiracies and it’s beginning to really concern me. He is well educated in science, self employed, loves his job, and mentally healthy. Overall, he is seemingly a very normal and well rounded person for the most part, except for the conspiracies. According to him he doesn’t watch the news and only does his “own research”.
While visiting home over the holiday weekend (USA) he told me about some of the things he believes. They include: flat earth (specifically that there is a dome above us), chemtrails, anti-vax, moon landing was faked, 9/11 was faked, taxes are actually optional…etc. The more disturbing ones are that the Catholic Church is actually demonic, the US is actually a corporation owned by the UK/Vatican and he thinks certain political figures will be removed from office for various reasons… and that’s just the stuff he remembered and wanted to tell me.
This really is starting to concern me because I think he’s detaching or has already fully detached from reality. I tried to challenge his arguments but it didn’t work. He just kept saying “I don’t believe in anything” almost like it was his new motto. Just generally he “doesn’t believe anything”. It’s like if he doesnt read it himself or see it with his own eyes, it’s not true. The rest of our close family who has heard him spout this for years is fed up also but no one really wants to do anything about it. He is very confident in his views and openly calling him out on it probably wouldn’t go well.
He’s been like this for years but it’s gotten worse since COVID started and he was forced to do things like wear a mask (god forbid). He was very much into the Obama hate including: Obama is the anti-Christ, he’s going to impose sharia law, he wasn’t born in the US, he’s gonna take our guns…etc
I live in another state from my parents now, but I really feel like I need to do something about this. I want my family to be closer and I don’t want to be worried that he will start spreading these things all the time. I also feel like it is not healthy for him to be obsessing over this stuff. I don’t want to cut him off completely because my mom doesn’t deserve that and I feel like maybe he could change.
I just feel like i’ve lost him to this cult. I don’t want to control him, I just want him to live in this reality, even if i disagree with him politically. It’s giving me a lot of anxiety and I just don’t know what to say or what to do.
How would you tackle this issue?
Thanks

2023.06.01 17:58 RedditFredrik Best method for hard booch?

Hey! I am about to brew my first batch of hard kombucha. I was thinking about just adding some champagne yeast and sugar after F1, using an air lock and wait until it stopped bubbling and then flavour and bottle for carbonation. I've read some posts and seen some videos doing it that way.
But then I read the sidebar article about hard kombucha. The recipe uses only a part of finished F1, and tops it off with quite a lot of water. To me, that process sounds like a combination of brewing regular kombucha, and also brewing alcohol from the champagne yeast at the same time, whereas with the other method the kombucha is already done with F1, and the champagne yeast is only used to make it alcoholic.
Which way is the way to go? Please hit me with all your experience concerning hard kombucha!

2023.06.01 17:57 dragonic_puppy My own character concept (seviper)

I only really have moves, sadly, feel free to criticize if it seems dumb
For neutrals: Jab/rapid jab: starts with a tailwhip, like mewtwo, this will occur twice then go into a series of bites like piranha plant, but if a is pressed 3 times it'll do the two tailwhips then the final 3rd hit will be a leg sweep, this will have a chance to trip, it'd be more likely the higher the percentage Dash attack: a lunging headbutt Forward tilt: is just a faster safer jab 2, but can be pressed 3 times to strike more, with the 3rd hit sending up, kinda like meta knight Down tilt: just a lower poke with a chance to trip causing a tech situation, it can two frame Up tilt: think melee fox, seviper will use its tail for a backwards overhead swing (can hit in front if fighting larger character) sending up and leading to string combos F-smash: seviper will fling its tail up then back down, spiking if the sweetspot is hit at ledge Up-smash: seviper will do headbutt, if whiffed it'll have a drawback do to seviper jumping up then landing back down since, no arms or legs D-smash: bellyflop, I know seviper can't learn that, but I think it'll be funny to see a giant snake jump up and crush some characters head, it'd be strong, but have a lot of lag N-air: nail will be a spin, this was my most interesting concept move cause, after the spin, seviper will do a downward tail slap, that'll spike if it sweetspots Up-air Is a upwards bite that'll send up a bit to help with recovery but also be a good juggling option D-down: seviper will go head first down spinning a bit, it can't be acted out of so it gonna take your stock if you do it off stage, but it'll bring the opponent with you, the start hitbox will spike, but the rest won't F-air: seviper will use poison spray, going a but out in front of him, it'll apply poison which will deal damage over time for about 3 seconds, it won't deal much but it'll definitely add if hit alot B-air: just a simple tail slap, like mewtwo but less floaty Grab: while use its mouth to grip the opponent Pummel: seviper will close its mouth a bit more to poke the opponent F-throw: seviper throws the opponent forward and out of its mouth, at low percents it can lead to jab locks but at mid-high percents, you'll have to follow up with an areal Up-throw: seviper will do kinda like with his f-smash, but just the down hit, so a simple tail slam B-throw: seviper will turn around and push the opponent back, it won't be to strong but it'll be a good throw to follow up with dash attack D-throw: seviper books the opponent on the head with his tail, burying them in the ground
Specials Neutral special: seviper will do poison fang, it can be charged to deal more damage, once fully charged it'll be held, which will cause the glowing effect to keep the reminder that its charged, then it'll pretty hard if hit at the sweetspot on his mouth, but be weaker if slightly in front of him Side special: coil, seviper will lunge forward, grabbing the opponent in its tail then throwing them forward a bit, it'll will throw downwards if used in the air Down special: protect, when activated, seviper will be covered from the front and top, healing its percentage for a second, but it can only last one hit, I'd say it'll heal, 2.5% each second, if the sheild breaks, then it can't be used for a few seconds Up special: pounce, seviper will lunge upwards, it'll go decently high, but not so far left or right Final smash: seviper will leap into the air and use acid rain, covering the screen and dealing constant damage to the opponent until it ends, seviper can fight while this is happening His walk will be just a slow version of his run, which will just be a slither, and yes he can crouch to be kinda like metal gear snake

2023.06.01 17:56 Ok-Drawer-359 Question about Pick.

So little back story I worked in pack dingy for about 3 years then left for another job. Well now I wanna come back. I applied and got outbound but it’s pick. I’ve never picked before. I have major anxiety about going 30ft in the air I plan to give it a try. Who knows it might not be that bad. But I’m my question is what if I can’t do it? With they just let me go cause I’m seasonal or try to place me somewhere else??? I don’t wanna leave a job to get let go from another.

2023.06.01 17:55 TheEvenDarkerKnight Sick for one year, including cognitive decline. Don't know what to do.

5'11', 320 lbs, 26M, CoQ10 and multivitamin
Hi, I have been dealing with a problem for over a year. I had high cholesterol for a while and was put on atorvastatin in July 2021. My cholesterol decreased but I began having problems with memory so bad that I did not know how to get to my doctor's office. In April 2022, I asked my NP to quit and she told me I was depressed and put me on 10 mg lexapro but within days of taking it I developed head pressure in the right side of my head (which I still have), dry mouth with white saliva, migraines, yellow stool, and felt sick. I thought all of these were the medications so I decided to just quit them and hope things would resolve. On average it said that memory problems from statins take 3 weeks to go away so I just wait.
The next 6 weeks I continue having problems. I felt like I had amnesia. I thought this was migraines, which I never had previously. I worked from home in a cognitively demanding job and couldn't look at my screen too long or work too long without getting migraines. My brain felt slow. It wasn't like the memory problems I had with statins. My brain felt slower and it was slower to make connections. Things I could do easily I could not anymore, like math and problem solvong. I used to have good memory for things I did the day prior but not anymore. Anyway after 6 weeks I am unable to remember the names of my neighbors and other distressing memory problems like what im supposed to do at work. Visit PCP again and get blood taken. I had slightly elevated ALT, above high normal plasma protein, alanine aminotransferance, and albumin. Decide to see virtual PCP who seems to take me more seriously. I get many memory bloods including B1, thyroid, CBC, glucose, and other vitamins. Main thing is slightly elevated RBC and I am pre-diabetic. I get a shivering, tingling sensation on either side of my head all the time, along with problems with memory (like not knowing the name of my favorite movies). Symptoms improve when I lay flat on my back or taken CoQ10 but get worse with sugar.
Around this time I get sleep apnea test. Sleep doctor, virtual doc, and doc in my family are confident I have sleep apnea due to neck size and reported snoring. I don't get the results until 6 months later indicating I don't have it. I started getting this yellow and blueish mucus coming from my mouth all the time. I visit urgent care but no one is interested in testing the mucus or anything? I get prescribed antibiotics but im scared to take them if I don't know what I'm actually dealing with. Memory issues and headaches get worse. Feels like a shocking sensation on my head. I visit a neurologist who gives me an EEG. EEG is normal, he says I have no issue. A few weeks later I go to the hospital for an emergency visit. They take blood and urine and do tests. Some kidney value was very high but they said no issue and sent me home.
In the fall I feel sicker in my abdominal region, especially after eating. Strange stool, falling asleep after eating, milky white substance as well as excess saliva. Strange, severe ear pain begins, mostly associated with eating. Thumping sounds in ears. Tingling sensation through my body from right side of abdomen. Tingling sensations in head. Sugar headaches. Can't remember the names of my coworkers. Very fatigued. Can't go for walks anymore. I test my glucose at home randomly but it's always normal.
New PCP. I take more blood tests associated with memory. A1C drops to 5.9 from 6.0. Some liver value (I forget what, but not ALT or AST, BUN something?) is very low but I am told no problem. Fired from my job because I am too dumb to do it now.
In February I see a new neurologist. I get sleep deprived EEG, MRI without contrast, and MRA without contrast. Somehow all normal. She diagnoses me with chronic fatigue syndrome, deja vu seizure disorder, and a few migraine conditions. I am prescribed Nurtec. It relieves head pressure but doesn't resolve cognitive issues.
Shortly after, I visit new doc PCP about stool problems. I get stool studies which I am still waiting for the results on. Through this whole time I suddenly developed problems with erections and libido. When I was on statins my testicles appeared weird, like they shrunk. Hair also became very thin. Didn’t become real problem until recently. Visit another virtual doctor who gets me a urologist referral but i will have to wait for when I have insurance again. I know my weight is high but I've lost 30 lbs with no improvement. As for COVID, I have three vaccinations and was strict in regards to masking and distancing until mid 2022. I took several tests from March 2022 to the end of last year with no positive once.
Is my life over? Did I miss some infection? I was very smart since I was a child and consistently the top of my class. I went to school for engineering. I was a top performer at work. I don't know how that has all seemed to disappear in just some months a year ago. In the five years before this, I got sick maybe only once.

2023.06.01 17:54 FauxPlantDad 1st time dealing with an anti siphon valve

Hey y'all. Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question. First summer in my new home, and the front lawn does not have any sprinklers. Planning to eventually get the front lawn completely ripped out and reseeded, and it's a wet climate so I'm not too invested in irrigation at the moment, but I do have a garden hose and above ground impact sprinkler that will do in the meantime. Tried hooking the hose up to the spigot at the front of the house, but the spigot's got an anti-siphon valve, and it's covered in scratches so it's clear that somebody tried to remove it, maybe the previous owner? When I turn the faucet on without anything attached, water comes out the little holes around it as well as the main opening, all good. But once I attach my garden hose, it still comes out the little holes and blasts water everywhere. Only a little bit comes out the hose itself. I've double checked the connectors and the gasket on my brand new hose, and those are good, everything's screwed on nice and tight. Even tried wiggling the little white plunger thing inside to see if maybe it was stuck. And when I angle it to the side, water comes out correctly instead of shooting out the little holes, but as soon as I let go, it goes right back to how it was. This is my first time dealing with this kind of faucet. Is this normal? Am I missing a piece? Looked up other anti-siphon valves online and it doesn't look like I should need anything specific to connect to an anti-siphon valve. Google would not show me anything except for leaks, and this does not look like a leak. Doesn't look like this one is missing any parts either. Thoughts?

2023.06.01 17:54 nanfuz My bf 30M broke up with me 26F

My bf broke up with me
Hello. I met my bf in College. We had the same friend group and he was also in my class. We got together in the junior year. All was good. He was my first relationship and I for him. It was always my passion to study abroad after college and eventually live there forever. He knew this from the starting of our relationship, because I was vocal about how it was my dream since I was very young. And he supported and encouraged me while I filled the application forms. But he would also sometimes insert into our conversations as to how life is difficult abroad, how expensive it is and how it might be difficult to live away from family for that long. But I used to take my relative as an example who went abroad just like me to study and is now married and living happily there. I also agreed it might be difficult for certain reasons, but since it was my dream all along I just had to move abroad and live. I told him if at any point life got difficult we could always move back to our homeland.We even discussed about doing long distance for a while and he could eventually move abroad to the country I am in either as a student or for work and then we could live together there. He couldn't come with me at that time for studying because he wasn't doing good financially. So his plan was to work in our homeland for a while and make money and then maybe move out abroad. Anyway, once I got accepted and had my visa ready, he threw a big tantrum the day before I left saying I was leaving him, that he thought I would never go abroad to study, that he never wanted to go abroad and he could not believe I was actually leaving him for my dream. I consoled him saying that this was my dream for which I had worked hard n I wasn't leaving him. I would go study abroad n have a long distance with him n that we don't need to break up. He thought I would soon find someone there and move on from him which I told him was ridiculous as I was in so much love with him and wanted to marry him eventually. So we kindah had a rough couple of months with him processing that I moved abroad but we still talked everyday and still loved each other. A year passed and he had saved up money and I had also found some part time jobs. So I asked him to apply to a few university and move abroad to me which he did. As soon as he got an acceptance letter, he told me he didn't want to study abroad as he got an offer letter from a big MNC in our homeland. It was very heart breaking to me at first but then I told him that it would be good for his future if he worked at that company and then maybe he can find a work later on in a different company when he moves here or maybe we can get married and then he can move in here with me. So for then we again decided to continue our long distance. Then after a week he told me he is breaking up with me as he sees no future of us living together as it has already been so long n we hvnt even met once in-between (I couldn't afford to fly as all my money from my part time job went to my living expenses and he was also not financially able to buy me a ticket) and that he didn't want to leave his parents and live abroad forever. This completely broke me. I went into a very depressing mood for some months and wasted an entire semester doing nothing. But still we would just talk often as friends and I might sometimes ask him to please take me back but he refused (I know I am pathetic!But love makes you do crazy things.) And then after around six months I was slowly making progress with studies and making friends and going out on trips. Then he told me that he is ready to give our relationship another chance. So we again went into a long distance relationship. Neither of us dated anyone else in-between btw. This time we still had the same issues as last time with the distance, him not wanting to move abroad, still not financially able to buy an airplane ticket. But also I kindah felt like I wasn't loving him as I used to before. The time after the breakup was very rough for me, I kindah hated him, I tried to forget him and move on. I don't know if all this led to me now not being able to love him as I used to. I got the same vibe from him as he was also not as romantic to me as before. Anyway a year passed, in which he decided to study further but in our own homeland and I was almost done with my education except for my final paper. We would often get into fights about me studying abroad so long. I am actually taking way longer to complete my education than intended( because of COVID and also me wasting a couple of semester because of not having a great mental health). He was also adamant about not moving here with me. He told me I might have to move back to my homeland after my education if I want to marry him which I initially agreed. But after much thought, I told him that won't be possible. I dreamed of living abroad and if I complete my education and find work abroad then I will live abroad. I told him I was okay this time to leave him n his relationship for my dream. Then after some months he was like he will then maybe try to find some work abroad and live with me since I told him that I won't move back to our homeland.
It was at this time that his parents started to find an alliance for him for marriage (we are from an Asian background. It is common in our country to have arranged marriages. My family does not know about our relationship. They are very strict and old school. My plan was to complete my education and find work and then tell them Abt him when I am ready to marry else I didn't want to have a rough time with my family while I am studying because I know they don't like love marriage and would be very difficult for them to accept him. I thought if I was working and considerable older I might convince them for our marriage. His family knew Abt me. His mom was sweet and we used to often chat. His dad was a bit strict. He didn't want his son to marry me, he rather wanted him to marry someone who his parents found for him. My bf was also having a rough time convincing them to agree to marry me. He told me I hv to complete my education soon and meet his parents face to face so that they might agree. But I still hadn't completed my education. I used to tell him I can maybe talk to them via phone, but it would be difficult for me to visit him for several months leaving my school/work and convince his parents. He thought I wasn't being understanding and that I was selfish and that soon his parents would force him to marry someone else and that he might do it to not hurt them. I was also in a bad phase of my life with my education dragging, my parents also started searching for an alliance for me as they didn't know I was in a relationship and I was afraid to tell them now as I still hadn't completed my education. I thought for sure they won't accept it now. ) He was also furious that I went on two trips without having visited him in these four years of long distance. In my defense, the two trips I visited costed fractionally less than the air tickets I would have to buy to visit him and would not be feasible considering I could atmost visit him for a week. Remember my parents were strict and I could not video call them for more than a week. I was afraid they might catch that I am not abroad if they called me while I visited him. I still wasn't ready to tell Abt my relationship to them. Then I went home for a month. I asked him to visit me as my parents weren't home for a couple of days. He refused saying he had some other obligation at that time. He asked me to meet him after a week. But again I couldn't at that time because my parents were back home which he was again furious with. I promised him I would visit him after a few months for a week. I had finally made some money and can go on for a week without having to call my parents which he was okay with. He also got some job offers abroad but in another different country that where I study. This he was ready to go and he told me it would only be for a couple of years and he would eventually move back to our homeland. So now after a total of half a decade of relationship he told me that he is breaking up with me for good. He told me I didn't do anything wrong that he just can't make his parents unhappy, wants to not live abroad always, doesn't know how long I might take to complete my education and when I would tell my parents Abt him and when we would get married. He told me he has waited enough and he wants to move on and marry someone his parents find for him and live in my hometown. He also told me he didn't think it was right of him to ask me to leave my dream of living abroad and move back and understood my strict parents and that lately he hasn't been loving me that much and that is why he refused to meet me for that week when I was back in my hometown for a month. Considering our situations he broke up with me. I am now a bit better than I was last time. Like I kind of understand his situation. I also think it would be better for me to marry someone my parents find(not immediately, I will take some time to move on before I get married maybe a year and a half). I want to now focus and complete my education and find work.
PS: do you think I should move on or maybe ask him for another chance(I don't know if he is serious this time or if he will take me back after sometime like last time we broke up)? Also give me tips on moving on if I have to.

2023.06.01 17:54 treelover2222 Accept IMC position at level 1 hospital, 10 week training, if I really want ICU position in city?

Hi there,
So, an offer came back in with straight night shift, 0.8 FTE (full benefits, and wait for other openings of .9 fte) IMC in a larger (level 1 if that matters—to my understanding, it should in terms of ICU, right) hospital. ALSO, it’s 8 hr shifts, which is fine with me I guess as I have a dog. They said 12 hr shifts May become available after my training. —but let me know your opinion on 8 hr shift training.
I only have clinical (new grad rn) experience in comparatively small hospitals where higher acuity ICU positions are usually transferred via air ambulance to a larger higher acuity hospital. Many hours in critical access hospitals. My long term goals are to work in ICU.
I’d probably be open to moving after the year of experience to find ICU positions in other large hospitals after this 1 year. Will this help exponentially or should I just decline and gun for only ICU positions?
Got an immediate offer and considering taking it.
TIA

2023.06.01 17:52 TrainingTeaching [M4F] Lifelong childhood rivals brought together, forced to rely on each other to survive in the middle of a Mafia conspiracy

Nick’s earliest memories were of an unhappy home. His father, an alcoholic gambling addict, would regularly disappear for days, returning in the same clothes and not having shaved for days, and having blown all their savings on his binge. Eventually, in his mothers attempts to stand her ground, she tried to make him choose his family or the gambling. It drove him into a rage where he ended up beating her severely and running before the police came, and that was the last time he saw his father.
At 12 years old, his mother died of cancer that quickly spread through her body after first being discovered. Refusing to live with the parents of his father, he ran away and lived on the streets. For such a young boy, he was quite shrewd, shoplifting food from various grocery stores. Within just a couple months, he was devising schemes with teenagers to shoplift from department stores to mom and pop stores, and everything in between, selling the goods to local pawn shops. He learned how to learn the dead-zones of cameras, how to pry the security tags off of items, and how to distract security.
Then his friend gave him the idea of breaking into closed stores or vacation homes to rob them. He was careful, wearing a hoodie, tied to leave no stray hairs as evidence, a mask, gloves, different shoes, and a reversible jacket on the outside that he could flip around to quickly match a different description.
It was successful for the first few attempts, but then he decided to do a job on his own, and attempted to rob the wrong store.
He was casing the place, knocking on the door at the same time every day to ensure nobody was answering the door. Breaking a small window atop the lower floor and climbing a garbage pail to hop through. He went to the cash register, feeling like he hit the jackpot when he discovered more than a thousand in cash, totaling to a few thousand. But he wasn’t aware that the building wasn’t at all abandoned and was attached to a second building, and was a front for Patrick O’Sullivan, a member of the Irish Mob, and they just so happened to be doing a deal at the time.
He tried to run away, heading towards the door, but eventually ran into a boy not much older than he was. He always carried a switchblade with him as a last resort, pulling it on the boy. But he didn’t have it in him to stab the boy. He hesitated. And he got caught.
They forced him to take a seat at the table, and Patrick paced back and forth, Nick’s switchblade in hand. “So you want to steal from *me*?” He scoffs as he flicks open the switchblade. “Usually I would just cut off your fingers so you learn your lesson.” He turns to look at Nick was rage in his eyes. “But you *threatened my son*!?” he shouts into the boy's face, holding the knife just inches from his neck.
“Wait.” Nick hears a voice from behind him protest. Walking around him, narrowing his eyes as he gets a better look at his face, then nodding to himself. He has a different complexion than the others. “I recognize this kid. He’s the son of one of ours. Let him go, I’ll handle this.” he says as he turns to one of his associates, handling a much larger sum of money than NIck had just stolen, tossing it on the table in front of Nick. “This should cover the inconvenience.” He turns back to Nick and gives Nick a stern look. “I’ll make sure no threats to your family ever happen again. And this boy will make it up to you tenfold, *right*?” He gives Nick a small, almost imperceivable nod. Nick quickly agrees.
That was the day Nick met Lorenzo Columbo of the Italian Mafia. Nick never understood why he stepped in and saved him, Lorenzo only claimed that he saw ‘potential’ in him, but it earned Nick’s undying loyalty. He became like a father figure in Nick’s life, something he had never had prior. He gave him a place to stay with one of the maids, whose English wasn’t the best, but as she couldn’t have children of her own she took him as one of her own. Lorenzo taught him how to get by with less risk, *without* getting caught, while also teaching him the value of a hard work ethic.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing, particularly when it came to family issues. Lorenzo’s daughter, Luna, never understood why her father brought Nick into their life. She was very attached, an only child, and being a few years younger than Nick, Lorenzo never explained what happened to her as she would have been too young to understand, and she tried to keep his direct family from getting involved in any ‘business’ issues. But he was trying to teach Nick how to be a man who could take care of himself, as he has already experienced so many things that no boy his age should have been exposed to.
Lorenzo was gone most of the time, handling business, unintentionally neglecting Luna. Like Nick, she was mostly raised by the maids, spending far more time with them than she spent with her own family. The maids and her dog were her primary companions. She never understood why Nick was allowed to join Lorenzo at work, but she couldn’t. She became increasingly jealous of the time spent with Nick, eventually despising him. She would be the first to remind Nick that he wasn’t really one of their family, and that he never would be. She would lash out, disobeying her fathers rules, but Lorenzo had a soft spot for children and she would be allowed to get away with it. The only rule he was extremely strict on is that she wasn’t allowed to leave the house without supervision, in that way he was overprotective of her, fearing that someone might take her away to get back at him.
Nick never understood why she hated him so much. He never did anything wrong to her, and she constantly targeted him. He didn’t ask for any of this, he just did as told, and tried to be obedient - something that Luna certainly was not. Due to how she treated him, he developed a distaste for her. Considering he spent a lot of efforts trying to stay in line and follow the rules, he never understood why she *never* followed the rules, and why he was judged so harshly for breaking the rules, while she could get away with anything. It didn’t seem fair. From that point, though he wasn’t one of their family members, it was almost like they had a never-ending sibling rivalry.
-----
6 years later…
Lorenzo asked Nick to speak to him privately. He confided that they had a major problem. One of the O’Sullivan brothers was dead. Lorenzo expressed that it breaks his heart to have to ask for this, but they need somebody to take the fall, and asked Nick if he could do it, promising that he would make it up to him and be there for him once he’s out.
To Lorenzo’s surprise, Nick gladly accepted. Nick felt that he owed his *life* to Lorenzo and would do *anything* for him, because he wouldn’t even be alive if it wasn’t for Lorenzo.
It wasn’t until the day of the trial that he was informed that *Luna* was the person he was taking a fall for. As much as that explained why Lorenzo needed somebody to take the fall - he couldn’t let his daughter go down, and it would be extremely poor optics if his daughter murdered one of them - he wondered to himself why it had to be her of all people. ‘It’s just like her to *literally* get away with murder!’, he thought to himself. But he was loyal, and still decided to do what he agreed to without dispute.
The part that really upset him was when she took the stand as a witness. She burst out crying, accusing Nick of being ‘crazed’, how all they were doing was hanging out peacefully and over a joke he snapped and couldn’t control himself, giving explicit detail about how brutal he was, how he grabbed the murder weapon - a relatively small but heavy ornamental statue - and just wouldn’t stop hitting him. She almost got it escalated from homicide to murder, and would have if Lorenzo didn’t pay for the best lawyer in the state. Nick tried his best to keep his cool, and had to accept that Luna finally got what she wanted… For Nick to be gone.
-----
10 years later…
Nick is finally released, and Lorenzo has provided him with a home. But they had to be discreet, as it would seem quite obvious if he fell right back in line after serving time for killing one of the Irish without permission.
One day, Lorenzo calls and says it’s an emergency, he needs Nick to meet him at the house urgently.
Nick arrives at the house, standing in the next room awaiting a moment to speak with Lorenzo.
“What do you mean you’re leaving!?” he hears the unmistakable bitterness of Luna’s voice speaking to her father. “You’re leaving me!?” Her voice is becoming increasingly distraught. “I guess I should be used to you leaving by now!” it sounds as if she’s on the verge of tears.
“Sweetie, this is urgent.” Lorenzo says calmly. “Tell me something new, dad!” she says with a scoff. After a brief pause. “... How bad is it?” she asks her father. He remains quiet. “Why aren’t you saying anything!?” Lorenzo breaths in deeply and sighs. “It’s nothing for you to worry ab-” Luna interrupts him. “I’m not a child!” she spats back at him. “Luna, watch your tone!” he says commandingly, leaving no room for dispute.
“I’m putting someone else in charge. You’re going to listen to everything he tells you to do in my absence. Do not give him a hard time, do you hear me? There will be no negotiation. Just because I’m not here, does not mean you can do whatever it is you want to, is that clear?” he demands.
“Yeah, whatever. Have a safe trip dad.” She stomps out of the room, Nick only seeing the back of her head as she speeds by, hiding her face, presumably to hide tears. She didn’t even notice him.
Nick enters the room, Lorenzo seeming relieved at his presence. Nick presumes that Lorenzo wasn’t sure if he would show up. He stands tall, hands clasped behind his back as Lorenzo takes a seat.
“Nick, I have to leave, and I’m leaving you in charge. I don’t have time to explain.”
Without hesitation, Nick responds. “How long can I expect you to be gone?”
“That is left to be determined…” Lorenzo says, sounding almost sad.
Nick gives a small nod. “I assume there will be an announcement of my authority to minimize insubordination? And I’ll need a briefing on your dealings, as well as a place to stay while you are gone.”
Lorenzo lets out a small chuckle. “Nicolaus, you already know all of my dealings. I have never kept any secrets from you. And you could choose any of the guest rooms here to stay in.” Ever since he was a child, Lorenzo was the only person to call Nick by his full name. To others, he was just Nick, or to the maid staff, he was Nicky as a term of endearment.
“You can trust that your business will be safe under my care, sir.” Nick says confidently.
“And my daughter?” Lorenzo tilts his head down, eyes looking up at Nick’s with a piercing gaze.
Up until this point, Nick has done a good job of keeping stone-faced. But he’s sure that at hearing about her, that Lorenzo could see a slight wince on his face.
“Yes sir, of course.”
-----
A little while later, Nick had taken some time to process the situation. He realized he needs to read between the lines of this situation and figure out why *he* was chosen for the job. It makes little sense. Optics are extremely bad, leaving a person with his history not only being accepted back, but now in charge?
Nick dared not question Lorenzo any further, not only because of his integrity and respect for authority, but because he knew if Lorenzo did not give any further information, it’s because he does not feel comfortable speaking around the others.
Then there’s the way he mentioned his daughter. Nick could sense that this means Luna is in danger. There must be some legitimate threat out there, one that his regular people couldn’t handle, or could not be trusted for. And that’s likely related to the reason he’s leaving too. The bad blood between us implies how serious the threat must be.
Nick has to come to terms with the fact that he’d had to dedicate nearly half of his life to her protection. Whether he likes it or not, fate keeps leading him right back to her. Not that she ever has shown any appreciation for it. But he wouldn’t have any life to live if it wasn’t for Lorenzo, so it’s decided. If he must stake his life for her protection again, then so be it.
He just hopes she will cooperate this time… Last he heard, Luna was always notorious for her rebelliousness and knack of getting in trouble. Seemingly even killing people on a whim, despite never being trained in combat.
He suspects keeping Luna in line might be an even more difficult job than the last one he had to do for her…
Once settled in a guest room and Lorenzo preparing to leave, he acts distant from most of the others, with a cold, calm demeanor, always seeming in control, much like Lorenzo. Aside from the maid staff, whom he is quite pleasant with. After all, some of them were the ones who raised him.
He decides it’s time to focus on his duties, approaching Luna’s bedroom door, actually feeling a bit nervous. Not about what she might do, as much as trying to keep himself in check, as he’s well aware of how much unresolved anger there is which has been ignored rather than dealt with. But knowing Luna’s rebellious nature, he knows he needs to establish authority while her father is gone.
He chuckles to himself at the irony of how facing Luna feels like a fate worse than prison.
He steels himself, face becoming stone, jaw slightly clenched, as he knocks on the door.
No longer is he the scrawny boy that she last saw, now a hardened man, looking far different from before. More imposing. Standing 6’1 with a scruffy face and long wavy hair, making his complexion seem darker than it is. In his mind, he expects to see a young, rebellious teenager answering the door, music playing in the background as she rolls her eyes at him in disdain for being interrupted.
-----
While Luna used to be adventurous and outgoing, she was never the same after that day she encountered Liam O’Sullivan.
Nobody but her father knew the truth. The reality that on that fateful day, Liam had tried to rape her. Well, more than tried, he *did* rape her. But she didn’t go easily. Maybe she would have been able to fight him off if her father taught her to defend herself how she always wanted to, but she fought back with all her might. And once he fell off balance, she grabbed the closest thing she could find, the statue, and lost control. Unable to stop swinging until he stopped moving. She never thought she would be capable of something so horrible.
That’s the real reason for her outburst at the trial. She was being forced to relive the most traumatic moment of her life. And it emphatically proved how horrible of a person she was. Sending another person to prison for what *she* did. No matter how much she hated Nick when they were young, that was a fate he didn’t deserve. She’s lived to regret the fact that she not only took one man's life, but ruined another man's life. It’s what she’s best at.
She became much more reserved, even more attached to her father and her dog, Shadow. No longer outgoing, she became very reserved around others, fearful. Especially men.
Her ‘rebelliousness’ and anger she shows others is just a front, not allowing them to see the darkness she harbors inside. Hiding her loneliness by being cold towards others, acting tough when she is extremely sensitive. She only has a few friends who could tolerate her and how much she pushes them away, a habit she formed because she doesn’t feel she can trust anyone. She never smiles, except when with her father or her dog.
Her looks and cold personality have always gotten her the most attention from strangers, yet she yearns for simple attention from one person in her life and that’s her father’s.
Deep down she has a sweet, caring heart, but it’s hidden and covered by layers of fear and trauma. Her guard is always up, especially in a house full of men that she hates. She hides her wounds from everyone. She spends her time mostly exercising, reading, or occasionally sneaking out of the house with Grayson, one of her fathers men that she had taken a liking to, as he helps her out whenever she does decide to sneak away. Eventually it led to a secret relationship between them.
Despite her attachment to Grayson, and their meaningless sex, she had never been able to fully let her guard down. Especially because Grayson has a bit of an abusive nature, to say it mildly. He *has* abused her before, hitting her, but it hadn’t left any major marks. Out of fear of losing the one man in her life that paid attention to her, she has allowed it. Hiding it from her father, because she knows what would happen if he found out. He is slowly destroying the little bit of her self worth that is left.
-----
The silence in Luna’s room is deafening, so she fills it with a mild audible sound of Spotify in the background. That still wasn’t enough to get her mind off of the conversation with her father. While it was the same conversation she’s had with him time and time again throughout her life, this time felt… Different. Very different.
She leans her head back on the headboard and checks to see if she has any text back from Grayson, whom she left a message asking “What the hell is going on?”, and as expected, there was none. She’s sure he knows her father is leaving, but isn’t sure if he knows why, or who will be put in charge. Just the idea makes her scoff, the last thing she needs is a babysitter.
Her dog joins her on the bed, nuzzling his head on to her lap, tail wagging, demanding pats, and coaxing a smile out of her. Shadow is the only thing keeping her from going insane in this house, knowing exactly when she needs comfort and never hesitating to provide it. He remains on the bed with her, resting his head on her thigh, never leaving her side. For a moment, she forgets what’s going on.
She hears a knock on the door, staring at the hard wood for a moment. She hopes it’s Grayson, checking on her to make sure she’s okay, and maybe if she’s lucky, even comfort her. She gets up and heads to the door with that thought on her mind. She wasn’t prepared for what she discovered.
Her heart drops. Familiar dark eyes that are engraved in her mind staring down at her with nothing but coldness in them. She blinks once, twice, wondering if her eyes are deceiving her. The lean boy she knew was standing there, but he was no longer small and lean, his features far more chiseled and distinguished. The suit he wore was striking, unable to hide the muscular frame beneath. She found herself speechless for a moment. It felt unreal for her to see him after he was unrightfully taken away.
He recognized her eyes at first glance, his eyes quickly breaking, darting to the abrupt movement at the side of the room, realizing it’s a dog, the dog's eyes darting between them, measuring our reactions. Even it seems frozen, confused by their reaction.
He notices how much she’s grown. Her face thinner, freckles and imperfections faded. While obviously older and taller, she seems… Smaller? Despite her never being as large as Nick, she had an aura about her that was almost intimidating. But now the air around her is… Different.
But it’s her hair that caught his eye most. Much longer than it used to be. Although he supposes it’s the same for him, it’s an integral part of her presence now. If he were to take a moment to consider it, he’d think she’s grown to look far more feminine and be quite beautiful. But he immediately speeds past those thoughts before they complete, focusing on his job he has to do.
Neither of them said a word, but their eyes spoke a million.
“Nick?” Her voice came out in barely more than a whisper, trying to comprehend if this is real. If so, she had no idea he was even out of prison, as nobody had informed her. A thousand questions ran through her mind. ‘How long has he been out? Why are you at my door? Are you even real? *How much do you hate me*?’ But she can’t bring herself to utter another word.
Having been anticipating conflict, the way she spoke his name almost threw him off, he expected that her father would have informed her that I was in charge, which is why he expected her to rebel, but that seems not to be the case. She seems to be genuinely surprised.
He narrows his eyes, a little, trying to read hers. He’s always prided himself on his ability to read people. But hers are hard to read, as she’s seemingly experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, and he doesn’t understand why she would feel anything more than disdain based on his expectations. And honestly, it’s unsettling for someone like him to be around such raw emotion without being prepared for it.
As much as he wants to comment on their past, to call out what she did, or at least ask why… He decides against it. ‘Neither of us want to be in this situation. It’s just a job’.
He slowly takes in a deep breath, calculating his words. Standing tall and tilting his head back authoritatively as he begins to speak.
“Your father has put me in charge in his absence. Not just to oversee business matters, but I am personally responsible for your safety.” He leans in, maintaining eye contact, trying to convey the seriousness. “I will not be allowing any harm to come to you while you are my responsibility. If I give any orders, I will need you to obey immediately without question. If you have any questions, ask them later. I will need to know where you are and to give approval of where you are going at all times. I will need your phone number, you will have tracking turned on your phone at all times so I could monitor, and you will always answer when I call no matter what the circumstances. I don’t care where you are going, I only care about your safety. I will not tolerate any disobedience. I will not tolerate being ignored.” He pauses for a moment, to see how she is taking his words.
“I need you to tell me that you understand.” He maintains a serious look on his stone face as he awaits an answer.
Her brow furrows as he utters sentence after sentence, focused on how much his voice has changed and is no longer as soft as it used to be. She feels like she’s staring at a stranger, but then she begins to realize what he’s saying.
She shakes her head, feeling like he hadn’t even given her a chance to speak as he lays a newspaper's worth of rules in front of her. All she can do is let out a perplexed “Huh?” He’s the one her father left in charge of her? The one who never tolerated her? The one who spent half his life in prison because of her? There is no way… She scoffs, trying her best not to lose it on him, but it’s hard.
“I’m sorry, what? Do you really think I’m going to agree to this!?” she asks, with pure anger in her tone. She knows for a fact he doesn’t want to do this either, so why didn’t he say no to her father? How could he agree to look after the person that ruined his life? It only drives her crazier that the look on his face isn’t changing or reacting to her. She used to always know how to push his buttons and get a reaction. She looks over at Shadow, almost for assistance, but he is looking at Nick with a calm curiosity, even wagging his tail slightly. *It figures*, she thinks, *He usually hates men, but of course when she wants him to…*
“There will be no tracking my phone, no obeying you, no approval from you. I’m not doing this.” She pushes past him, out the door, her blood boiling, heart racing, palms sweaty and hands shaking. ‘How does he think he’d ever get away with this? When the hell did he get back anyway!?’
To her surprise, Lorenzo is with his men, including Grayson, putting on his coat in the living room. “Luna. I take it you spoke with Nicolaus?” He speaks confidently. *This is real…*
“Will you be okay?” Lorenzo asks, placing his hands on her shoulders. All she can think is *how could I possibly be okay?* as she fights back tears in her eyes.
“I’ll see you soon.” he says, stroking her cheek. She fears this might be the last time she ever sees him… And she doesn’t want to part like this. She wraps her arms around him, hugging him tight, enjoying his presence for as long as she has it. He soon breaks the embrace, seeming reluctant as he nods his head, departing through the door. She rushes back to her room before she allows her tears to escape.
-----
-----
I appreciate it if you’ve made it this far! I’m looking for a long-term partner to play out this scenario where I’ll be playing Nick.
Despite our rivalry, we end up being stuck together. In the middle of a life of crime and a criminal conspiracy, thrown into a situation where we must rely on each other. With myself as the protector, and you, who is thrown in to a world you've always been hidden from.
The mystery of what’s going on will only deepen. What’s *really* going on? Why is there danger? We’ll have to question trusting anyone.
This setting should leave it pretty open in the directions we could go, and while I have a few ideas of ways we can take it, I welcome your ideas as well!
As we get to know each other, while there’s so much that led to our rivalry, there’s much more that was secret and that we’re unaware of about each other. While we may handle things differently, with Nick relying on staying calm, and Luna relying on overreacting, we both have lived a life where we felt abandoned, and have our own ways of hiding what we think or feel, both of us having trouble getting closer.
He’s forced into a role of her protector, and she’s never been able to feel safe around people. And he never knew all that she went through, falling for the illusion she gives that she doesn’t care about anything, never knowing how badly she needs that protection. By giving her somebody she could actually feel safe around, and him coming to terms with the fact that he may voluntarily want to protect her if given a choice, there's many threads that could eventually evolve into them developing feelings for each other, as much as they may want to resist that happening.
Along the path, there may be a lot of drama and disputes, pushing each other away, but due to the situation, we’ll be forced back together.
Despite being a very lengthy introduction, I’m open to any length of responses, there’s no requirements in length! Whatever feels right! It’s all in good fun!
Feel free to let me know any adaptations or ideas you may want to include, or requests!
If interested, I hope to hear back from you!

2023.06.01 17:51 ManuelaJeanine I'm scared of death but I'm still suicidal

This is really important and I need your help urgently. This might take some time, and I'm sorry for that.
Hi, my name is Manuela and I'm 24 years old. I'm terminally ill since I was born and I am dying. Long story short: I've been in a wheelchair since... always and forever. I could never walk. My health gets worse over time and there's no cure, not even a chance of me getting any better health wise. I need constant help with almost everything 24/7 due to an illness that causes my muscles to waste away since birth. I've been having chronic chest pain for 6 years and I've been on Morphine/Fentanyl for 5 now (I also have other kinds of pains due not being able to move a lot, due to being skinny and barely having any muscles ((bones picking on/through my skin and leaving pressure marks on certain areas in any position that I'm in for a little bit of time without moving)) which causes unbearable pain). I've been in palliative care on and off (right now I'm not, there's nothing the doctors can do so they want me to stay home if possible to be able to spend time with my loved ones as long as I still can).
Because of my illness (Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2, SMA 2 for short) I also have severe breathing issues (I have to be on life support ever since I was 3 years old - which is a medical device that helps you to breathe - but I don't use it because it causes severe chest pain and the mask leaves severe pressure marks on my face (nose and T-bone area) which they turn into open wounds that hurt so much and it's a huge infection risk) that's why I'm trying to breathe on my own for as long as I still can, even if I'm struggling and I need to have an oxygen mask (most of the time in summer when it's hot or when I'm sick). I also have severe swallowing issues (especially with certain types of food like meat, rice etc) all due to lack of strength and I keep on losing more strength without being able to gain any.
All in all: My life has been tough. I have a lot of trauma from all the health issues I've had, all the treatments from doctors in hospitals, staying in hospitals, mostly in intensive care units on and off from birth until I was 12. It was like this: 2 weeks in hospital/ICU and then 2-3 days home and repeat for the first first 12 years of my life. I have been having nightmares almost every time I sleep for as long as I can remember for my entire life. I cry in my sleep every now and then, and I say stuff like "no, please don't, no, please". I don't and can't remember doing that when I wake up. But my family wakes me up sometimes when they hear me crying in my sleep and they tell me about it.
This is just the tip of the iceberg really. But I want to keep it short yet tell and explain some of the things I've gone through so maybe you'd understand. I'm really sorry for writing so much but if you are still here and reading this, thank you. It means so much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I have depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts since I was 12. That's when I started self harming, too. I also tried to end myself many times, but somehow... I couldn't. I was heavily bullied in school for 3 years (when I was 12 until I was 15) for looking the way I do. I like feeling and dressing pretty, and most girls felt intimidated so they told everyone rumors about me (saying that I was a hoe, sleeping around with every guy etc) so everyone started laughing at me and hating me. I got blackmailed daily and it was just horrible. I wish these girls know I'm still a virgin today. I bet they'd feel stupid for judging me based off my looks (though I always dressed appropriately, never showed my legs and stomach, but my clothes and outfits were still more glamorous than average, and I had my nails done and started wearing lipstick and mascara at 11) all because my mom also treated me like a doll so I always HAD to look perfect all the time, I always had to be smiling and never show any signs of weakness. She literally hit and slapped me on my face every time I cried. So I tried to hide my negative emotions and feeling pretty young. But... I am an empath, INFJ. If I am sad, my tears stream down my face no matter how much I try not to cry. I can't help it. I still have a smile on my face but I can't control my tears. Now, I always have a smile on my face, but it's not genuine most of the time. I don't want anyone to see what I'm truly feeling because I don't want to make anyone worry about me.
Being an INFJ Empath maybe explains why I'm suffering so much emotionally and mentally. I seem to only attract narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths, that's why I'm alone and I don't have any friends because I'm afraid of being hurt and used, then thrown away again. I love animals and helping people. I believe everything happens for a reason and I believe everyone is here for a reason - everything and everyone has a purpose. But I can't seem to find mine. I'm useless, quite literally. I need help with almost everything and I don't know what I can offer other than a good heart, listening ears, empathy, love and care because that doesn't seem to be good enough nowadays. I have so much love to give and yet I don't have any for myself.
The reason why I'm still holding on is because... I have been dreaming, hoping and wishing (ever since I was very little) to be able to give something to the world to help others and help ease the pain, loneliness and suffering. To love and be loved, to be happy and make others happy. Because I truly know life is worth fighting for despite any bad thing. But I've been suffering so much - physically and mentally - and I don't have a reason to keep fighting anymore. I only have my dad, my step mom. My dad works 400 km away from home 4-5 days of the week, my step mom who is also my caretaker, she owns a small hotel and is taking care of it all on her own while still taking care of me. They work so much to be able to take care of and support me, but they are struggling so much and I feel so bad for not being able to help, for being nothing but a bother. It's heartbreaking. I know they are better off without me. Well, they and my dog would miss me a little, but they'd get over it one day.
I just can't bear the pain I feel in my mind, heart and body anymore. It has gotten unbearable. And yet, I'm afraid of dying. Because I like to believe in God and supposedly it's a sin to commit suicide. So I'm scared of being punished with hell or even reincarnation. I just want this to end. I always imagine of there being something like what we call "heaven". A place where we go to after this life on earth, where we can be with our loved ones - a place where there's no illness, sadness and pain.
Please tell me about your opinion/knowledge on this. What happens after death? Where do we go? What is our purpose? Especially... What’s the purpose on being here? Why is there so much suffering? Please take away my anxiety about dying.
Sending much love and light, Manuela

2023.06.01 17:51 TimberWolfII I've been afraid to think about this Hell experience for a long time

Just to give some background, I astral project a LOT! It comes very natural to me to the point that I don't particularly try or sometimes even want to do it. That being said, there's one experience that I've been avoiding for some reason.
About 2 or 3 years ago, I recall being in an astral projection experience. I was in a shed-like structure, grey dried out wood with what seemed to be a kitchen with tools and junk just laying about. It was dark outside, no clouds. The environment was a dry sort of remains of a pine forest. I remember hiding behind cabinets with somebody I didn't recognize. To my knowledge, I was hiding out of sight of a large log cabin only a few yards from this shed. The cabin was dark on the inside, like an abyss. There were large holes like explosions went off in the walls, they kinda reminded me of the cartoon Monster House in the way it was structured.
In my mind, I was contemplating doing something that I knew was very risky. I felt like I was in mortal danger just being there. I looked at the house, noticing very faint green and blue flames inside. I looked at the person I was with whom I cannot describe very well. He looks like a young man, maybe late 20s with black hair. I was about to ask him something when I heard a woman cry out in anguish from the house. It was petrifying, blood curdling. And when it pierced my ears, I got flashes of this woman's life. It was like I was feeling her soul, the pain of every bad thing that had happened to her in life.
I remember feeling hollow. The woman felt like somebody I knew but I still can't quite pin point it. I have a hunch of who she is but nothing beyond that. There was just something familiar about her. I remember immediately charging at the house, jumping through one of the holes to get inside. I couldn't let whatever was going on to continue, i just felt like i had to save her..
Inside this cabin, it was more like a cave with giant sharp boulders covering the layout. There was a sort of slime covering the cave walls and little glimmers of faint flames moving around the crevasses. The strangest thing about this was the flames felt like they were intelligent, somehow alive the way it moved. I reached out to touch it but when I did it lashed out like a snake, burning me. But the pain wasn't just physical, it was like the flames reacted to painful memories I had. I remember seeing the flash in red but still not sure what the specific memory was, just that it hurt very badly.
I moved deeper into the cave when I found a deep dark pit that the flames seemed to converge into. I remember not wanting to go anywhere near it, it gave a horrible sense of dread. Like the closer I got to it, the less "hope" I felt. Then I heard it again, the woman screaming from within the abyss. I sort of connected with it and saw darkness but within it were raw and very powerful flames, like a huge gasoline fire. There were faces completely charred, yelling out in pure anguish. I vaguely remember seeing a man behind me in my mind's eye, like hoping that I would jump in. For some reason I didn't even look behind me, the screams were just so mortifying, I didn't want to move. I remember feeling my heart pounding very rapidly. I knew I had to go in so i just did it. I jumped into the abyss.
From here, I remember falling into the darkness past very tall flames coming from a ground I couldn't see. The image reminds me of the flames from the second Terminator movie when it begins. Falling, I tried to breathe but there was no air, just smoldering ash filling my lungs.
There's a really large gap in my memory here but I'm very sure I was in Hell. Around the late mid-section of me being in there, I remember being in a horrible state of mind, like i was just full of absolute hatred. Then a dark figure approaches me and holds up a mirror to me. The mirror was like a very weathered Victorian era with faded gold edges. When it held up this mirror, I saw myself but in a thick charred exterior. In some ways it reminded me of medieval knight armor the way it was shaped but no shine, it just looked like it was made of charcoal. And beyond that was an extremely dark mist surrounding me. I felt like I was lost for a long time but when I saw myself, I sort of was reminded that I still exist. I can't explain how I saw myself as there was no actual hole or crack, I just psychicly saw myself.
Then I remember that I was in there for a reason but then blacked out again. Then I was suddenly back in the cave, but it felt more peaceful than before, like it was no longer a threat. I looked at the flames as they were before but it sort of moved as if it respected me somehow. It didn't hurt me, it was almost like I could control it in a way when I'd look at it. I remember going out the door where the sun was rising but I felt shameful. Like I did something that was very bad. I don't specifically remember doing something about it but I felt like I blocked the memory.
I've had a long time to contemplate this experience and it still boggles my mind to this day. There's way too much detail for it to be nothing. And I didn't even remember most of this the same day. Like things would randomly happen where I'd be confronted with something "scary" and it was like PTSD was kicking in.
I've never had anything like this happen before but I felt like I should share my experience. Think of it how you want but to me, this was real and probably the worst astral projection ever became for me.

2023.06.01 17:51 muzzletgh Whispers of the Dreamgrove - A Lillia Story (Fan Made Story)

I would first like to clarify, that while I do main Lillia, I am not super in tune with her lore. I just know that I adore her and her Disney-esque whimsy. Secondly, I am an amateur writer who is horrible at writing dialogue, so I tend to write my short stories without it. This is my first attempt at writing a story that takes place in an IP that is not of my own creation. I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback, but also love to hear what you think about this story.
Whispers of the Dreamgrove - A Lillia Story
In the heart of Ionia, where emerald canopies of ancient trees intertwine, a sanctuary untouched by the chaos of the outside world reveals itself. Here, time dances to a different rhythm, and the air sings with a whispered enchantment. It is in this hidden grove that Lillia, the Bashful Bloom, discovers solace and kinship.

The grove, embraced by towering arboreal sentinels, stands as a haven for all that is pure and wild. Its serene beauty weaves a spell that tickles the senses, as gentle sunlight filters through the lush foliage, casting a delightful dance upon the forest floor. Fragrant blossoms scent the air, their delicate aroma mingling with the faintest whispers that ride a breeze meant for the chosen few.

Nestled within this secluded haven, Lillia resides, her ethereal presence a mere ripple in the tapestry of the grove. Cloaked in a soft aura of mystery, she moves with a grace that mirrors the swaying branches above. Her hooves, delicate and soundless, tiptoe upon the mossy carpet, leaving no trace of her passing.

Lillia, the guardian of dreams and secrets, embodies the essence of solitude. Only the ancient trees and the moonlit wanderers of the grove are privy to her existence. Her purpose, twofold, binds her to the very soul of the forest: to protect the slumbering dreams and to safeguard the hidden secrets nestled within the depths of the foliage.

Silent and elusive, Lillia roams the grove, her slender form blending seamlessly with the whispering leaves. Her pale skin, kissed by the moon's gentle light, radiates a luminescence as though she were spun from the forest's essence. Adorning her head rests a crown of antlers adorned with delicate flowers, a whimsical symbol of her connection to the realm of nature and dreams.

The denizens of Ionia, blissfully unaware of Lillia's presence, continue their lives beyond the grove's borders. Unbeknownst to them, a guardian spirit watches tirelessly over their dreams, her existence shrouded in secrecy. The pact between the ancient trees and the enigmatic spirit ensures that Lillia remains known solely to the forest, a charming secret shared between friends.

In this enchanted grove, where the line between waking and dreaming blurs, Lillia stands as an unseen guardian. Her gaze, brimming with wisdom and compassion, pierces through the veils of slumber, nurturing the dreams of sleepers and ensuring they remain undisturbed by the chaos of the outside world.

In recent times, an unusual affliction has descended upon the sacred grove, shrouding its once-vibrant foliage in a dark and foreboding veil. The vibrant colors that once adorned the leaves have now withered, replaced by a sickly hue that hints at an insidious presence lurking within. The gentle whispers that once filled the air with a melodic symphony have been silenced, as if the very essence of the grove has been muted. This delicate balance, cherished by Lillia, now hangs in peril, and her heart resonates with the forest's mournful lament.

Deep within the grove's inner sanctum, where sunlight used to weave its playful dance upon the emerald leaves, now lie shadows that slink with treacherous intent. The once-lively hues have faded into a pallid shade, betraying the presence of a malevolent force. The ancient trees, guardians of the grove, tremble with an eerie unease, their branches stretching out in desperate supplication towards the heavens.

Lillia, ever attuned to the murmurs of the forest, feels the weight of distress that blankets her cherished sanctuary. Her gentle heart quickens with a mixture of determination and trepidation as she embarks on her personal quest. With each step she takes, the soft earth beneath her hooves resonates with both her unwavering resolve and the burden of responsibility she carries.

Guided by her profound connection to the grove, Lillia follows the faint echoes of anguish that linger within its depths. The whispers, once filled with life and beauty, now bear a mournful tone, as if mourning their own fading existence. She traverses the familiar paths she knows so well, her feet barely touching the ground, blending seamlessly with the ethereal ambiance of the grove.

As Lillia ventures further into the heart of the forest, she encounters pockets of the enigmatic darkness that taints the once-vibrant foliage. It clings to the leaves like a suffocating shroud, draining their life essence and casting a somber veil over the grove. Her heart aches with a bittersweet blend of sorrow and determination as she extends her delicate fingers, hoping to kindle a glimmer of restoration in the corrupted leaves.

With each tender touch, Lillia feels the pulse of the grove, a shared heartbeat reverberating through her being. She whispers words of solace, her voice a gentle zephyr that rustles through the branches, carrying the essence of hope upon its breath. Despite the looming threat of darkness, Lillia remains resolute, refusing to surrender to despair. Her resolve, akin to a flickering candle flame, only grows stronger in the face of adversity.

Motivated by her unwavering love for the grove and its denizens, Lillia presses onward, guided by an unseen hand. Though the whispers of the ancient trees have dimmed, their echo still resonates deep within her spirit, urging her forward. She knows that the fate of the grove, and all it symbolizes, rests squarely upon her shoulders, much to her dismay.

As Lillia cautiously ventures deeper into the heart of the forest, an unsettling truth begins to reveal itself. A long-dormant and wicked force has awoken, casting a dark shadow over the once serene grove. This entity, known as the Shadowveil, now emerges with sinister intent. It thrives on the dreams of the innocent, twisting their hopes and aspirations into haunting nightmares.

Within the labyrinthine depths of the forest, Lillia's timid nature senses the presence of this awakened malevolence. Her heart races, and a shiver of fear runs down her spine. The whispers of the trees, usually comforting, now carry a somber warning, urging her to beware the dangers that lie ahead.

With each cautious step she takes, Lillia's trembling hooves navigate the treacherous paths of the grove. She treads carefully, her senses on high alert for any sign of the encroaching darkness. The once peaceful sanctuary transforms into a battleground where opposing forces clash, leaving her overwhelmed and uncertain.

As Lillia continues her journey, she encounters undeniable signs of the Shadowveil's presence. Twisted and thorny vines replace the once vibrant foliage, their grotesque forms seemingly mocking her. The once fragrant air now carries a dank, foreboding scent, making her nose wrinkle in discomfort. The forest she once found solace in becomes an unsettling place that tests her fragile courage.

In a hidden glade deep within the grove, Lillia stumbles upon an ancient mural that tells the chilling tale of the Shadowveil's rise. The vivid images depict innocence transforming into despair, a sight that strikes fear into her trembling heart. Though her natural instinct is to flee, a flicker of determination stirs within her, urging her to face the daunting challenge before her.

With trembling hands, Lillia reaches out to trace the faded lines of the mural, her touch hesitant yet filled with a desperate need to understand. The mural responds to her timid touch, emitting a faint glow as if it recognizes her presence. Whispers, both ancient and gentle, guide her through forgotten incantations that may hold the key to confronting the Shadowveil's grip.

As Lillia cautiously ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, she confronted the twisted creatures that emerged from the influence of the Shadowveil. These grotesque beings, born from the malevolent force, had transformed the once-familiar inhabitants of the grove into corrupted and joyless beings.

With her lithe frame and nimble movements, Lillia engaged in stealthy battles, relying on her agility and the latent magic of her dream-laden branch. Swinging it with grace and precision, she swiftly neutralized the corrupted beings, ensuring that her strikes found their mark.

But it was not only her physical prowess that aided her. Lillia's connection to the dreamscape granted her an advantage beyond mortal capabilities. Tapping into the ethereal realm of dreams, she wove intricate patterns of energy, casting ethereal strands with a wave of her branch. These strands ensnared the minions of the Shadowveil, trapping them within their own nightmares.

As the dream traps took hold, Lillia witnessed a transformation in the corrupted beings. Their twisted forms convulsed and contorted as they struggled against the invisible restraints. In that struggle, their captivated minds were freed, the darkness fading away to reveal glimpses of the innocence and purity that had been stolen from them.

Filled with compassion and determination, Lillia saw these battles as opportunities for redemption, not destruction. Each encounter became a testament to her strength and the power of dreams. With each release, she glimpsed the flickering hope that her efforts might eventually restore balance and light to the grove.

With each victorious encounter, Lillia pressed on, guided by ancient whispers and the luminescent glow of her dream-laden branch. The path ahead grew increasingly perilous, yet her courage blossomed alongside the challenges she faced. No longer burdened by trembling hooves, she moved forward with purpose, delving further into the darkness that enveloped the grove.

And so, Lillia continued her whimsical struggle against the Shadowveil, combining nimble grace with dream-woven magic to battle its corrupted minions. Through each encounter, she inched closer to unraveling the malevolent force's hold on the innocent. With every ethereal trap she crafted, she moved one step closer to reclaiming the dreams that had been devoured by the insidious entity.

As Lillia valiantly battled the twisted creatures born from the influence of the Shadowveil, she embarked on a poignant journey to uncover the origins of this malevolent force. Hidden among the verdant foliage, she discovered ancient carven stones adorned with intricate symbols, each stone revealing a fragment of a sorrowful tale.

Through the hushed whispers of forgotten lore, Lillia pieced together the tragic story of the Shadowveil. Long ago, it was not a harbinger of darkness but a benevolent guardian spirit, entrusted with the sacred duty of nurturing the dreams and aspirations that bloomed within the grove.

Before corruption had tainted its essence, the Shadowveil embodied ethereal beauty and a gentle grace. It danced with the sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting enchanting patterns of shadow and light. Its presence inspired hope and filled the hearts of the grove's inhabitants with a sense of wonder.

But destiny, cruel and capricious, intervened. A lost and tormented wraith, wandering through the realms, encountered the radiant spirit of the Shadowveil. This wraith, consumed by its own suffering, saw the purity within the guardian spirit as an opportunity to perpetuate its own despair.

The wraith's malevolence seeped into the very fabric of the Shadowveil's being, tainting its essence with an overwhelming darkness. The once-ethereal spirit was consumed by the weight of its own despair, transforming into the malevolent entity now known as the Shadowveil.

Lillia's heart ached as she envisioned the radiant spirit that the Shadowveil had once been. She could almost see its luminescent form, glowing with the dreams and aspirations of the grove's inhabitants. It was a heartbreaking reminder of the innocence lost and the tragic fate that had befallen the guardian spirit.

Driven by compassion and a deep sense of empathy, Lillia fought not only to restore stolen dreams but also to bring solace and redemption to the corrupted spirit. Each encounter with the Shadowveil's minions served as a poignant reminder of the beauty that had been extinguished and the pain that now permeated the grove.

Her dream-laden branch pulsed with an otherworldly power, a testament to the dreams and hopes it held. The luminescent glow that emanated from it whispered of forgotten memories, guiding Lillia deeper into the heart of the forest. She was determined to not only heal the grove but also to offer a glimmer of healing to the wounded spirit that had once been the radiant guardian of dreams.

As Lillia pressed onward, the battles against the corrupted minions of the Shadowveil became a somber dance between despair and hope. She fought not only for the dreams and aspirations of the innocent but also for the chance to bring redemption to a spirit lost in the depths of its own anguish.

Driven by her unwavering compassion for the forest and her kin, Lillia ventured deeper into the heart of the grove, guided by the radiant glow of her dream-laden branch. Her destination was the sacred clearing where the formidable Shadowveil stood, its twisted form casting an ominous shadow that seemed to suffocate the land.

With a mixture of grace and occasional clumsiness, Lillia initiated her intricate dance, effortlessly evading the tree-like entity's attacks. Her dream-laden branch emanated an ethereal glow, pulsating with the pure essence of dreams she had reclaimed from the corrupted minions she had encountered. Each strike she delivered resonated with a potent determination, gradually weakening the Shadowveil's hold on the forest.

The ancient guardian spirit, now enveloped in darkness, unleashed waves of malevolent energy, its branches contorting and reaching out hungrily. Yet, Lillia's otherworldly agility allowed her to evade the grasping tendrils with nimble movements. Although her dance bore hints of awkwardness and unrefined elegance, it exuded a raw beauty that stemmed from her unwavering conviction and the glimmer of hope that persisted within the Shadowveil.

The air grew thick with a palpable blend of despair and longing as the showdown unfolded. Lillia's heart thumped with each beat, resonating with the pain and turmoil she sensed within the corrupted spirit. Deep within the layers of darkness, she knew that a fragment of the radiant guardian's essence still yearned to be set free.

With each strike and defensive maneuver, Lillia tapped into not only her own strength but also the collective dreams and aspirations of the grove's inhabitants. The dream-laden branch shimmered, interweaving the hopes and wishes of all who had been affected by the Shadowveil's corruption. Its radiant energy infused her attacks with unwavering power, as if the very essence of the forest rallied behind her, lending her strength in the battle against encroaching shadows.

In the midst of the tempestuous confrontation, the ultimate outcome remained uncertain. The delicate balance between Lillia's compassion and the Shadowveil's despair teetered on the precipice of redemption or eternal darkness. Undeterred, she pressed on, guided by an unwavering belief in the transformative power of dreams.

As the pivotal moment approached, a surge of energy coursed through Lillia's being. A torrent of radiant light, interwoven with the very essence of dreams, gathered within her. With unwavering determination, she unleashed this formidable power, directing it towards the looming presence of the Shadowveil. The luminous cascade enveloped the corrupted entity, penetrating the layers of darkness that had plagued it for far too long.

The surge of radiant energy, infused with the dreams reclaimed from the Shadowveil's minions, acted as a cleansing force, unravelling the insidious tendrils of corruption that had ensnared the ancient guardian spirit. The Shadowveil convulsed, its twisted form contorting in a mixture of agony and relief. Lillia's magic, driven by her boundless compassion, permeated every inch of the entity, offering solace and forgiveness in its wake.

In that climactic moment, the weary guardian found solace at last. The essence of the Shadowveil yielded to the soothing embrace of an eternal slumber, its torment finally laid to rest. Lillia, her voice filled with heartfelt empathy, whispered a tender wish for pleasant dreams to accompany the guardian spirit in its eternal repose.

As the radiant energy dissipated, a serene stillness settled upon the grove. The corrupted tendrils that had tainted the once-vibrant land withdrew, vanishing into ethereal wisps of shadow. The oppressive shroud cast by the Shadowveil lifted, and the grove bathed in the gentle glow of renewed tranquility.

With the malevolence banished, the grove erupted in joyful celebration. The once-stunted flora flourished with newfound vitality, their vibrant hues painting the landscape with a kaleidoscope of colors. Delicate flowers bloomed, their fragrant petals dancing upon the soft caress of the breeze. Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting enchanting patterns of light and shadow upon the rejuvenated forest floor.

The inhabitants of the grove, from the tiniest woodland creatures to the towering ancient trees, reveled in the return of harmonious existence. Their spirits lifted as the weight of the Shadowveil's corruption dissipated, replaced by a profound sense of hope and bliss. Whispers of gratitude echoed through the verdant expanse, mingling with joyous songs of celebration, creating a symphony of nature's delight.

And yet, amidst the jubilation, an air of anticipation lingered.

Lillia stood amidst the vibrant grove, her heart swelling with a newfound victory and a flicker of courage that had ignited within her. The triumph over the Shadowveil had awakened her spirit to the possibilities that lay beyond the familiar confines of her secluded home. The forest, in all its ancient wisdom, seemed to beckon her towards the mysteries of the wider Ionian realm, urging her to step out and interact with the humans who dwelled there.

As she stared into the distance, Lillia felt a tantalizing sense of adventure tugging at her very core. Her imagination painted vivid pictures of encounters, friendships, and stories that awaited her beyond the boundaries of her forest sanctuary. The allure of the unknown whispered promises of growth and connection, enticing her to take that leap of faith.

But just as she was about to muster the courage to step forward, a chilling breeze of doubt swept through her. Fear, like an old adversary, crept into her thoughts, whispering tales of rejection and the pain of not being accepted by the world beyond. It gnawed at her, threatening to shatter her fragile hopes and dreams.

With a heavy sigh, Lillia gently shook her head, as if trying to dispel the doubts that threatened to hold her back. She knew that her journey, though filled with triumphs, wasn't quite complete. There were still layers of healing and growth she needed to unravel before venturing into the uncharted territory of the human realm.

Resolute in her decision, Lillia chose to return to her secluded existence, at least for now. She embraced the contentment that came with the personal victory she had achieved, finding solace in the healing embrace of the grove. The forest, sensing her choice, whispered its gratitude, a gentle breeze carrying its appreciation through the rustling leaves. The ancient trees, now teeming with newfound life and vibrant energy, swayed and sang songs of heartfelt appreciation to their humble protector.

Lillia understood that her journey would continue, guided by the whispers of the wind and the dreams that still burned within her. She knew that, one day, when the time was right, she would gather enough strength to step beyond the safety of her forest home and embrace the human world with open arms. But for now, she would cherish the tranquility of her grove, nurturing her own spirit and blossoming alongside the vibrant flora that surrounded her.

2023.06.01 17:49 muzzletgh Whispers of the Dreamgrove - A Lillia Story

I would first like to clarify, that while I do main Lillia, I am not super in tune with her lore. I just know that I adore her and her Disney-esque whimsy. Secondly, I am an amateur writer who is horrible at writing dialogue, so I tend to write my short stories without it. This is my first attempt at writing a story that takes place in an IP that is not of my own creation. I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback, but also love to hear what you think about this story.
Whispers of the Dreamgrove - A Lillia Story
In the heart of Ionia, where emerald canopies of ancient trees intertwine, a sanctuary untouched by the chaos of the outside world reveals itself. Here, time dances to a different rhythm, and the air sings with a whispered enchantment. It is in this hidden grove that Lillia, the Bashful Bloom, discovers solace and kinship.

The grove, embraced by towering arboreal sentinels, stands as a haven for all that is pure and wild. Its serene beauty weaves a spell that tickles the senses, as gentle sunlight filters through the lush foliage, casting a delightful dance upon the forest floor. Fragrant blossoms scent the air, their delicate aroma mingling with the faintest whispers that ride a breeze meant for the chosen few.

Nestled within this secluded haven, Lillia resides, her ethereal presence a mere ripple in the tapestry of the grove. Cloaked in a soft aura of mystery, she moves with a grace that mirrors the swaying branches above. Her hooves, delicate and soundless, tiptoe upon the mossy carpet, leaving no trace of her passing.

Lillia, the guardian of dreams and secrets, embodies the essence of solitude. Only the ancient trees and the moonlit wanderers of the grove are privy to her existence. Her purpose, twofold, binds her to the very soul of the forest: to protect the slumbering dreams and to safeguard the hidden secrets nestled within the depths of the foliage.

Silent and elusive, Lillia roams the grove, her slender form blending seamlessly with the whispering leaves. Her pale skin, kissed by the moon's gentle light, radiates a luminescence as though she were spun from the forest's essence. Adorning her head rests a crown of antlers adorned with delicate flowers, a whimsical symbol of her connection to the realm of nature and dreams.

The denizens of Ionia, blissfully unaware of Lillia's presence, continue their lives beyond the grove's borders. Unbeknownst to them, a guardian spirit watches tirelessly over their dreams, her existence shrouded in secrecy. The pact between the ancient trees and the enigmatic spirit ensures that Lillia remains known solely to the forest, a charming secret shared between friends.

In this enchanted grove, where the line between waking and dreaming blurs, Lillia stands as an unseen guardian. Her gaze, brimming with wisdom and compassion, pierces through the veils of slumber, nurturing the dreams of sleepers and ensuring they remain undisturbed by the chaos of the outside world.

In recent times, an unusual affliction has descended upon the sacred grove, shrouding its once-vibrant foliage in a dark and foreboding veil. The vibrant colors that once adorned the leaves have now withered, replaced by a sickly hue that hints at an insidious presence lurking within. The gentle whispers that once filled the air with a melodic symphony have been silenced, as if the very essence of the grove has been muted. This delicate balance, cherished by Lillia, now hangs in peril, and her heart resonates with the forest's mournful lament.

Deep within the grove's inner sanctum, where sunlight used to weave its playful dance upon the emerald leaves, now lie shadows that slink with treacherous intent. The once-lively hues have faded into a pallid shade, betraying the presence of a malevolent force. The ancient trees, guardians of the grove, tremble with an eerie unease, their branches stretching out in desperate supplication towards the heavens.

Lillia, ever attuned to the murmurs of the forest, feels the weight of distress that blankets her cherished sanctuary. Her gentle heart quickens with a mixture of determination and trepidation as she embarks on her personal quest. With each step she takes, the soft earth beneath her hooves resonates with both her unwavering resolve and the burden of responsibility she carries.

Guided by her profound connection to the grove, Lillia follows the faint echoes of anguish that linger within its depths. The whispers, once filled with life and beauty, now bear a mournful tone, as if mourning their own fading existence. She traverses the familiar paths she knows so well, her feet barely touching the ground, blending seamlessly with the ethereal ambiance of the grove.

As Lillia ventures further into the heart of the forest, she encounters pockets of the enigmatic darkness that taints the once-vibrant foliage. It clings to the leaves like a suffocating shroud, draining their life essence and casting a somber veil over the grove. Her heart aches with a bittersweet blend of sorrow and determination as she extends her delicate fingers, hoping to kindle a glimmer of restoration in the corrupted leaves.

With each tender touch, Lillia feels the pulse of the grove, a shared heartbeat reverberating through her being. She whispers words of solace, her voice a gentle zephyr that rustles through the branches, carrying the essence of hope upon its breath. Despite the looming threat of darkness, Lillia remains resolute, refusing to surrender to despair. Her resolve, akin to a flickering candle flame, only grows stronger in the face of adversity.

Motivated by her unwavering love for the grove and its denizens, Lillia presses onward, guided by an unseen hand. Though the whispers of the ancient trees have dimmed, their echo still resonates deep within her spirit, urging her forward. She knows that the fate of the grove, and all it symbolizes, rests squarely upon her shoulders, much to her dismay.

As Lillia cautiously ventures deeper into the heart of the forest, an unsettling truth begins to reveal itself. A long-dormant and wicked force has awoken, casting a dark shadow over the once serene grove. This entity, known as the Shadowveil, now emerges with sinister intent. It thrives on the dreams of the innocent, twisting their hopes and aspirations into haunting nightmares.

Within the labyrinthine depths of the forest, Lillia's timid nature senses the presence of this awakened malevolence. Her heart races, and a shiver of fear runs down her spine. The whispers of the trees, usually comforting, now carry a somber warning, urging her to beware the dangers that lie ahead.

With each cautious step she takes, Lillia's trembling hooves navigate the treacherous paths of the grove. She treads carefully, her senses on high alert for any sign of the encroaching darkness. The once peaceful sanctuary transforms into a battleground where opposing forces clash, leaving her overwhelmed and uncertain.

As Lillia continues her journey, she encounters undeniable signs of the Shadowveil's presence. Twisted and thorny vines replace the once vibrant foliage, their grotesque forms seemingly mocking her. The once fragrant air now carries a dank, foreboding scent, making her nose wrinkle in discomfort. The forest she once found solace in becomes an unsettling place that tests her fragile courage.

In a hidden glade deep within the grove, Lillia stumbles upon an ancient mural that tells the chilling tale of the Shadowveil's rise. The vivid images depict innocence transforming into despair, a sight that strikes fear into her trembling heart. Though her natural instinct is to flee, a flicker of determination stirs within her, urging her to face the daunting challenge before her.

With trembling hands, Lillia reaches out to trace the faded lines of the mural, her touch hesitant yet filled with a desperate need to understand. The mural responds to her timid touch, emitting a faint glow as if it recognizes her presence. Whispers, both ancient and gentle, guide her through forgotten incantations that may hold the key to confronting the Shadowveil's grip.

As Lillia cautiously ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, she confronted the twisted creatures that emerged from the influence of the Shadowveil. These grotesque beings, born from the malevolent force, had transformed the once-familiar inhabitants of the grove into corrupted and joyless beings.

With her lithe frame and nimble movements, Lillia engaged in stealthy battles, relying on her agility and the latent magic of her dream-laden branch. Swinging it with grace and precision, she swiftly neutralized the corrupted beings, ensuring that her strikes found their mark.

But it was not only her physical prowess that aided her. Lillia's connection to the dreamscape granted her an advantage beyond mortal capabilities. Tapping into the ethereal realm of dreams, she wove intricate patterns of energy, casting ethereal strands with a wave of her branch. These strands ensnared the minions of the Shadowveil, trapping them within their own nightmares.

As the dream traps took hold, Lillia witnessed a transformation in the corrupted beings. Their twisted forms convulsed and contorted as they struggled against the invisible restraints. In that struggle, their captivated minds were freed, the darkness fading away to reveal glimpses of the innocence and purity that had been stolen from them.

Filled with compassion and determination, Lillia saw these battles as opportunities for redemption, not destruction. Each encounter became a testament to her strength and the power of dreams. With each release, she glimpsed the flickering hope that her efforts might eventually restore balance and light to the grove.

With each victorious encounter, Lillia pressed on, guided by ancient whispers and the luminescent glow of her dream-laden branch. The path ahead grew increasingly perilous, yet her courage blossomed alongside the challenges she faced. No longer burdened by trembling hooves, she moved forward with purpose, delving further into the darkness that enveloped the grove.

And so, Lillia continued her whimsical struggle against the Shadowveil, combining nimble grace with dream-woven magic to battle its corrupted minions. Through each encounter, she inched closer to unraveling the malevolent force's hold on the innocent. With every ethereal trap she crafted, she moved one step closer to reclaiming the dreams that had been devoured by the insidious entity.

2023.06.01 17:48 FunAd1090 American Aires: I like their tech but is it worth investing?

Hey bruvs, Hope you're all having a fantastic day. I’ve always been someone who’s super paranoid about the radiation that is emitted from our smartphones and earphones. Like it’s to the point where I don’t use my airpods anymore and usually will have my phone on speaker phone if I’m talking to someone on the phone. LMAO like my friends always make fun of me for it but I just feel like i’d rather be on the safe side since I feel like we still haven’t seen super long term effects of this stuff.
My brother who is usually the one that makes fun of me the most about this stuff sent me a company called “American Aires” who specialize in making products that are supposed to reverse/cancel the emission of the radiation. I was confused because he always get a kick out of it whenever we get together LMAO. The product apparently doesn’t block the radiation but restructures it to neutralize any physiological impact. It seems like they have a bunch of studies that are peer reviewed on it with what seems like good results so I’m potentially looking into getting one. I was really impressed with what I saw so I’m thinking of potentially investing into them.
I do have some concerns about doing it tho so I thought I’d try and get some more insight on them before I do anything.
List of concerns:
- They have a bunch of studies on how the product works but their isn’t really an easy way to see if it’s working which is kinda sketchy for me (why invest into something where I’m not sure on their product)
- I haven’t had enough time to fully research their competitors and how they match up against them
- Haven’t invested into this kind of stock before and I’m a little unsure if it’s worth it
I do have a couple positives though which in my opinion might outweigh the concerns:
- Company's adjusted sales for Q1 2023 grew by 138% year-over-year
- I really like the idea of their tech even if there is no easy way to see if it’s working (more of a peace of mind thing)
- The stock is pretty cheap so investing in them won’t break the bank
I for sure think I’m going to look into getting the product but I’m unsure on the stock and would love to gain some more insight/opinions from people. Is it worth taking a chance? Are we seeing any potential of growth? I do like the idea of sales increasing YoY so I believe there is but I would love another opinion on it. Cheers everyone appreciate you taking the time to go over my post!

2023.06.01 17:44 QuickWin2195 AITA for letting a certain friend be around our kids

I apologize if this is long.
A couple of months ago I befriended a woman Renee who was such a breath of fresh air and I can honestly say that she and her daughter have become a very important part of my life in a short amount of time. For the purpose of the story I should mention that she is a trans woman. Recently we had a housewarming party and we invited all of our friends and family and I obviously invited Renee. I had let my husband know beforehand that I was inviting her and he was totally okay with it because he was curious about meeting her (because our daughter also could not stop gushing about her, she adores her so much). During the party some of our friends made an offhanded comment to me about how deep her voice is and I was like yeah she's not that far along in her transition so her voice is gonna take some time to change, they were all kind of shocked and asked me to confirm if she was really a transwoman and I said yeah. After that they all just kind of avoided that topic and I didn't think anything of it but they did tell the other people people that were there and it sort of just turned into a whole "thing" where they became a bit awkward around her and Renee could tell ,so she excused herself and left early. Well after she left my husband, in laws and a few friends told me that they were cross I didn't think to mention that she was trans because their kids were there. At the moment I was a bit shocked and didn't know how to respond so i just said that I didn't think it was a big deal. My in laws didn't think it was appropriate that our daughter was already so accustomed to Renee and that she might "influence" her. My husband's whole deal is that I should've let him know what Renee is all about so he can set some boundaries about what our daughter can or cannot be exposed to. Our friends agreed with him and said I should've been more honest ,so now I want to know if I was really in the wrong.

2023.06.01 17:44 baddayforsanity Session 5 - Prison Break!

Session 5 - Prison Break!
https://imgur.com/a/Hx3xpGr

The setup: the party had just managed to skirt a brewing riot in front of the city stockades and were now prepping to go into their first actual dungeon. I pulled in a few NPCs for some RP and dialogue in the upper chamber and the party had successfully escorted their quarry from Northshire to the prison. The party didn't pick up on the "most crimes are now a death sentence, especially defias affiliation" and listened to Padfoot's request to be taken to prison rather than killed on the spot. He definitely knew the prison break was imminent.

The session: So the party gets to the warden, an old, half-blind octegenarian that was conscripted to guard the prison alongside adolescents and pre-teens. One of the kids was trying to scold a prisoner for fashioning a defias mask out of the few blankets available to them, and was shanked for it, sparking the prison break. Outside, the townspeople caught wind of the murder and wanted to confront the warden directly about sending kids down to certain death.
The rogue hands over the bounty papers Dughan provided on the way to Northshire, but also takes a second to forge an extra crayoned-on zero to the bounty reward. So 500 becomes 5000 gold, the warden shrugs and accepts it because he's old and why not, the party is ecstatic. I make a note.

The Stockades: I'd built this before we'd acquired any actual terrain (beyond the river setting my WH40k player provided), and I'd had K'Nex from my childhood unearthed from the back of a closet since my wife and I had just bought a new house. The K'Nex being what they are meant that measuring things out and scaling it to what appears in game was remarkably smooth. I'd created a number of side rooms and accounted for roughly 5 enemies in each cell, and I'd roll a d4 to determine how many rounds it would be before a not-yet-cleared cell would send another wave at my party. Came out to be about 90 bandits possible, depending on how my party advanced.

Since this was earliest in my campaign writing, I hadn't yet thought of any mechanical fun to have except bog standard melee nonsense and the occasional cultist or madman. This is where I figure I have to spice things up going forward.
A problem I should've expected: My players picked up on the layout pretty quick and stood back at the entry hallway to create a bottleneck so that every new wave of enemies would have to go through that intersection, and the ranged PC's would just turn that square into an absolute meat grinder.
As they cleared the initial cells, I put a twilight cultist barricaded in one of the front ones that was preaching on a soapbox about the end times. He was a madman but had a small following gathered to hear him out, and eventually fight on his behalf. They snagged Val (mage) and swarmed him in melee in a cramped cell, a few followers blocking the small entrance and not allowing support to get in. Val's got a 1-per-short-rest wing buffet that will let him shift a few squares with his dragon wings, and some clutch use of frost nova let him get the upper hand.
Outside the cell, Xalatath woke up on Baldris' (Druid) belt. A failed Wisdom save later and he assured the party he'd cover Val and the rest should move deeper into the prison, and that he heard the cries of a trapped guard just out of view (this was corroborated by a low DC group perception check).
This worked twofold because Orfiz (rogue) couldn't make the session because of a Covid scare and couldn't dedicate time to participate online beyond just observing over a makeshift discord stream. After talking with both players before the session, we agreed Baldris would use this opportunity to knock Orfiz out and lock him in the first cleared cell. Orfiz told the party he was going to check for loot, and then clunk.
I put the bosses at the extreme ends of each branching hallway- Targorr The Dread, a large Orc barbarian beating up on a guard and a defias prisoner, to the west. Kam Deepfury, a Dark Iron dwarf still in his cell, to the east, and Bazil Thredd, the defias lieutenant, to the north.
Dorgon made it to the intersection and heard an orc grunt down the west hallway and just charged in solo. Ferren went to eavesdrop on a defias thug berating Kam. Val and Baldris were treating the beaten guards, Bazil intimidated them and caused them to run in and engage in combat. So all 3 bosses were pulled in a round.
I had a trap fashioned out of a hanging-light-thing in front of Bazil's cell, yknow like the old wooden chandeliers in dungeons and castles, that Bazil cut the rope on as a guard approached and knocked them down headfirst at his feet. Bazil used this opportunity to threaten to kill the guard if the players tried to stop the escape. The other rescued guard was searching a cell and found a healing potion (if a player had it, healing pot; if the guard had it, toilet water). The guard drank it and couldn't help in the fight because he was busy puking.
Dorgon going one on one with the orc meant he had to pull out all of the stops when it came to damage mitigation and the little self healing he had at the time. With heroic strike rerolls and stoneform and dull pain, it played out like the Saving Private Ryan knife scene.
Ferren overhears the defias telling Kam that he did his part and needs to commit further to the cause, and Kam just wasn't having it. Ferren killed the defias and approached Kam, who blew him off, and after one attempt of RP he basically gave the dwarf the finger and turned back to support the others fighting their own bosses. Kam's cell wasn't locked, and he took offense, so he followed Ferren back to the main intersection and started blasting away with a mysteriously acquired blunderbuss. The party was using crates around the hallways as cover, but didn't think to look in them or question how the bandits were armed with short bows and other non-shank weapons. Baldris was going boomkin to assist with Targorr and Bazil in the intersection but when Kam entered the fray he swapped to bear and kept the dark iron busy.
The guard's throat is cut, and Val goes loud with every high level spell slot he had left. Dorgon finishes up Targorr and charges back to the center intersection, catching eyes with Kam. Dorgon's player is a classic vet so he knew the relation between dwarven clans, and throws out a dwarven slur he intended to be one of those words you can only say the first letter of. I didn't make him roll, because I was laughing too hard, and I said "yep, you've got his attention now and even though he has a bear jaw latched on his arm he REALLY hates you, Dorgon".
The party mops up the bosses, and I don't dick around with them clearing out minions from every cell since they were just supposed to be fodder until the bosses anyhow. Targorr had a map to some place in the mountains where orcs were gathering called "ragefire chasm", and after rolling on a random loot table, Ferren got a disguise kit. That comes up later.
Orfiz is liberated by the party figuring he just got jumped by a wayward prisoner, Baldris chooses not to divulge what happened.
The party re-emerges from the stockades and is awarded their bounty. They question the girl who was throwing produce at Dorgon and Orfiz questions Padfoot. The session ends here, and Orfiz comes by my place during the off-week to have a solo session.
Been crazy busy with work and the holiday so I'll knock out the next few sessions with more mechanics and stuff in the next few days. Thanks for hanging around so far!
END OF SESSION 5
Up Next: Session 5.5 - Orfiz, Noir Private Eye

2023.06.01 17:43 Gros-Michel Turbo Air TGIM-23W-N compressor short cycling except when in Turbo Freeze Mode

Hello,
Like the title says, trying to troubleshoot why my Turbo Air freezer is short cycling in normal mode and not Turbo Freeze mode.
I had a tech come out a few days ago when the compressor wasn't running at all and he suggested I replace the PCM board.
I found one and replaced it, then called Turbo Air Tech support to program the board for my model.
The compressor now kicks on but short cycles when not in turbo freeze mode.
The condenser coils are clean, the cooling coils (inside the unit) are clean, so I'm not sure what else it could be.
I've checked the owner's manual for troubleshooting but it doesn't address this issue:
https://turboairinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/TGF_TGIM_HC.pdf
The unit is only 9 years old.
Any help would be appreciated.

2023.06.01 17:43 strange_and_unusuaI When did you realize what happened at the end?

This is not a thread about what you think happened at the end of The Sopranos. This is about when you realized that Tony was killed. If this talk upsets you, the point to remember is, you gotta wait for that.
I watched The Sopranos as it aired, week by week. Loved it, of course. Approaching the last batch of episodes, there was a fever pitch about what Tony's fate would ultimately be. Like most fans, I was expectant of seeing Tony's fate sealed without any question, and when it cut to black, I was confused and a bit angry.
On my first watch, I did not think Tony was killed. I was, in fact, sure Tony lived. To me, the point of the ending was that no matter what, Tony would have to be looking over his shoulder, even in those best moments with his family. How wrong I was.
In 2011, a fellow superfan friend of mine and I did our first re-watch. He was absolutely positive Tony was killed. At this time, the ending was universally reviled (another great idea for a post- just exactly when did we decide that the ending is perfect?) due to its supposed ambiguity. However, there were dozens of youtube posts putting all the evidence together. I watched a few, but I wasnt convinced. I needed to see for myself.
In my re-watch, I closely watched every episode, but especially 6B. All the clues that we endlessly examine in this subreddit were stark as day to me. In fact, I remember the moment it really hit me: I was walking down the street with my aforementioned friend, in NYC. Getting pizza from Lombardi's (highly reccomend!). We were talking about it all, putting the pieces together.
My friend was telling me- with absolute certainty- Tony died. I was actually prepping to watch the final episode, when it hit me: I didnt need to even see Made In America, to know. Tony was killed. It washed over me, slowly. It was an absolutely gutting moment. I nearly wept there on the street in mid-town Manhattan! It felt awful. In that moment, I felt slightly betrayed by the final episode, that I didnt see it. But I also knew, that it was all there. I was devastated for Meado, Carm and even fuckin AJ. Nothing- not before or since- no work of fiction has ever had that effect on me. Few things in my entire life have, really.
Maybe you watched it as it aired and knew. Maybe you read about it online and it was spoiled. So, when did you realize?
