2023.03.28 21:19 StWd Teaching with a personality disorder
Inspired by recent posts about teaching with ADHD, I'm hoping that us inclusive minded professionals will soothe my anxiety about coming out as someone with, depending on your preference of diagnostic book, borderline personality disorder, emotionally unstable personality disorder, or complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
As someone who survived childhood neglect and emotional abuse, I have found it has given me extra drive to support kids in similar situations, and an ability to empathise rather than sympathise with such kids more than perhaps some without experiences of ACEs might (and this is of course not at all to say there are not practitioners out there who could do fantastic at this or even better!). Mentioning this is partly due to a different kind of imposter syndrome wherein I worry that my experiences mean I just cannot do this job.; like those adults who don't wish to have children because they suffered abuse and don't want to accidentally pass on their psychological scars. I also have a worry about how, as much as the mainstream media claims we are all wokey ultra-inclusive reverse-bigots (or some shite), at every school in which I've worked I've heard teachers apparently without fear to claim shit like ADHD isn't real, some kids use it as excuses, trans kids just want attention etc etc. I have not come out with my illness.
Anyway, enough of the possibly narcissistic/anxious rambling about myself- BPD/EUPD/CPTSD teachers are you out there on this subreddit? How do you deal with things like emotional dysregulation? How do you stop yourself dissociating during some CPD about traumatic shit that takes you back to your childhood? How do you connect with your fellow teachers that are often just as drained as you without thinking in black and white? How do you deal with the crushing imposter syndrome that is arguably on another level since we don't see ourselves as the same, never mind equal, to our colleagues?
So far I have just been managing to compartmentalise, put the teacher face on, and I get through and do alright. But I've been getting counselling since being off ill due to mental health for the first time in my working life (I'm early 30s and worked since 16) and have realised that my way of managing is not healthy or sustainable. I don't wish to dissuade other practitioners who may have connected with some of this similarly but without it being BPD/EUPD/CPTSD from sharing their thoughts but many techniques for managing this stress but please understand that with this diagnosis, as an enduring and profound disability, stress-relief, relaxation, other methods of dealing with life and coping skills do not work for us. For example, CBT is known to be unhelpful for someone with these kinds of diagnosis- just to highlight that this is relatively abnormal, but I still appreciate anyone giving advice with good thoughts and intentions.
I'm getting professional help but if anyone has any insights particular to this disease and being a teacher then I would love to read it.

2023.03.28 21:18 annabelleisapeach Is it possible to disable the auto seatbelt tensioning that happens when you start to drive newer BMW? Love my X5 and want to buy a new X7, but this feature makes me feel like the car is trying to murder me every time I start driving. Dealership said they can’t do it and no way I can live like this.

2023.03.28 21:18 Sola_Sista_94 Having Fun In Kaito's Car (Fanfic)
"Haha, that was a good movie, don'tcha think, Monkey Buns?" Kokichi asked Himiko as they walked home, hand in hand. They had just got finished seeing a rom-com at the movies called "My Blind Date."
"Nyeh...yeah, it was kinda cheesy, though," Himiko replied.
"Well, yeah, rom-coms usually are," Kokichi pointed out. "But as far as rom-coms go, that one was pretty good."
"I think it had a good message," Himiko agreed. "Like, even though the main character was blind, her date was actually the blind one for not wanting to go out with her just because of her disability. And, in the end, he turned around and decided to marry her because she made him see the light."
"Yup!" Kokichi replied. "Maybe rom-coms should be our thing, huh?" Himiko smiled.
"Yeah..." she replied in a dreamy way. "I feel like if our relationship was in a movie, it'd be a rom-com. I'd be the shy, quiet girl, and you'd be the class clown that annoys everyone. I'd end up having a crush on you, but I don't want to admit it because I'd be afraid my friends wouldn't like me anymore. Then, there's a school dance where it's like a masquerade ball, and we have to dress up, and wear masks, and stuff. Then, you bump into me at the ball, and you apologize, and that's my chance to tell you my feelings for you, because it's not like you know who I am, anyways. And, then-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Himiko!" Kokichi said. "First of all...dang! How many imaginary backstories have you thought up for our relationship?! And, two, how wouldn't I know it's you? Your voice is super recognizable."
"First...I think about different backstories for our relationship all the time," Himiko admitted. "Nyeh...and, two, because it's a rom-com!" Kokichi smiled, and rolled his eyes at her.
"You're silly, you know that?" he said playfully as he booped her nose.
"Eeeee...yeah," Himiko replied bashfully. Kokichi leaned forward to give her a kiss. Himiko giggled blissfully, staring deeply into Kokichi's violet eyes. That is, until she noticed something out of the corner of her eye that made her gasp in fear, and grab Kokichi's arm.
"What?!" Kokichi asked in alarm, looking in the same direction Himiko was staring, trying to find the source of her fear. They had finally arrived at Casa V3, and Himiko pointed at Kaito's car, which was parked in the driveway. The car itself was slightly moving up and down, and back and forth.
"K-Kaito's car is shaking!" she exclaimed. She looked around frantically at the ground, and the buildings around her. "I-Is it an earthquake?! Nothing else is shaking! I don't feel anything!" A smirk formed across Kokichi's face.
"Nee-heehee...no, Himiko, it's not an earthquake," he replied.
"W-Well...what's causing it to shake like that?!" she asked in a horrified whisper.
"Hmhmm...I'm sure that's Kaito and Maki having a grand ol' time in there," Kokichi said. Himiko's eyes widened.
"You mean, they're...doing the 'Electrical Waltz?!'" she asked incredulously. Kokichi gave her a confused smile, and let out a small chuckle.
"Haha, what?!" he asked. "What's the 'Electrical Waltz,' Himiko?"
"W-Well...y'know..." Himiko replied, turning red.
"Yeeees...?" Kokichi said, his confused smile turning into a naughty one.
"Well...Kaito is putting his p-p-plug into M-Maki's outlet!" Himiko finished. Kokichi fell to his knees, wheezing with laughter. He clutched his stomach, and began rolling around on the ground.
"A-hahahahahaha...oh, my God, Himiko!" he said, struggling to speak through his laughter. After his fit was over, he stood back up, and wiped his eyes. "Phew...that was funny!"
"Nyeh...Kokichi, what should we do?" Himiko asked, grabbing his arm again.
"Why do we have to do anything?" Kokichi asked with a nonchalant shrug.
"What if Maki ends up pregnant?" Himiko asked. "I-I think she's making a big mistake!"
"That's not our problem," Kokichi pointed out. "Besides, now that Kaito's experienced touching a woman that's not his grandma, maybe he'll stop blathering away about space."
"Ohhh...are you sure?" Himiko asked, still watching the car trembling.
"Yup!" Kokichi replied. "C'mon, HimiCocoa Bean, let's leave them to it." He took Himiko's hand in his, and walked across the lawn towards the entrance of the house. As they did, they saw the car rocking back and forth with more force, so much that the car began making clunking sounds.
KA-THUNK! KA-THUNK!
"Haha, wow, they're really goin' at it in there," Kokichi snickered. Himiko's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, horrified at what she was seeing and hearing. She gave a little squeal of terror, and buried her face into Kokichi's chest. "Nee-heehee...why are you so freaked out?"
"Because...because...they're in there...doing the dirty, and...I'm just gonna feel awkward every time I see them from now on!" Himiko replied, covering her red face with Kokichi's scarf.
"Actually, you're right, it is horrifying," Kokichi said. "Just thinking about Kaito and Maki loving each other makes me sick." He shuddered as he opened the front door. "But, let's forget about those two."
"Nyeh...I can't," Himiko said as she followed Kokichi inside. "I'll never look at Kaito and Maki the same way again."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" a voice asked from behind them. Kokichi and Himiko whirled around in surprise to see Kaito coming from the hallway where the boys' bedrooms are.
"K-K-KAITO?!" Himiko asked in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Kokichi asked.
"Uhh...I live here?" Kaito replied, puzzled.
"Wait, wait, wait...where's Maki?" Kokichi asked.
"Why do you wanna know?" Kaito asked. "You don't even like-"
"Kaito! Where...is...Maki?" Kokichi demanded.
"Okay, okay! Sheesh! She's in the dining hall with everyone else!" Kaito replied. "I just came back from the bathroom." Kokichi and Himiko exchanged shocked glances. "Why?" Kaito asked. A smug smile spread across Kokichi's face.
"Nee-heehee...someone's getting it on in your car!" he replied.
"WHAT?! Oh, haha...wait...this is one of your lies, right?" Kaito asked. "Nice one, Kokichi, but I ain't fallin' for it."
"N-No, Kaito! It's true!" Himiko said. "We saw your car shaking, and we thought you and Maki were in it!"
"What, you think Maki Roll and I are gonna do that in my car?!" Kaito asked incredulously.
"Why not? It's probably going to end up being your bedroom someday, anyway!" Kokichi teased.
"SHUT UP!!" Kaito roared. "And, Himiko, how do I know you're not lying with Kokichi?"
"Because I'm not!" Himiko insisted.
"How about we get someone who's a bit more...reliable to confirm it?" Kokichi suggested with a sneaky smile.
"Like who?" Kaito asked.
"Follow me," Kokichi said. He led Himiko and Kaito to the dining room, where everyone was eating. "Kirumi! I need you to do something for me." Kirumi stood up at once.
"What is it that you require, Kokichi?" she asked.
"Go outside, look at Kaito's car, and see if it's shaking," Kokichi ordered.
"Jeez, would it kill you to say please?" Kaito muttered.
"I will go check," Kirumi promised, and rushed out of the dining hall.
"What's going on, Kokichi?" Shuichi asked.
"Oh...you'll find out soon enough," Kokichi replied. Kirumi came back, her eyes wide with shock.
"Kokichi was, indeed, telling the truth!" she said.
"WHAT?!" Kaito exclaimed, and ran furiously out of the dining hall. Everyone followed Kaito outside to see what all the fuss was about. The car was no rocking back and forth more violently, and the windows were now fogged up. The others gasped at what they saw. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Kaito yelled, and ran over to the back door to yank it open. He shielded his eyes in case he saw something he'd regret seeing, but Miu eagerly ran up to see who was inside. She laughed out loud when she saw who it was, causing Kaito to open up his eyes. They bugged out at what he saw. "MONOKUMA?!" he exclaimed. The others crowded around to see that it was so.
"Huh? What?" Monokuma asked, turning around to look up at Kaito. He was on top of another Monokuma, only this one was pink and black.
"Who's that other bear?" Ryoma asked.
"Oh! This is my girlfriend, Monakuma," Monokuma explained.
"Uhh...Monakuma?" Maki asked in disbelief. "You mean there's another one?"
"As if you and the Monokubz weren't bad enough," Tsumugi said. "Now, there's another robot bear we have to worry about."
"I don't like the way you said 'robot,'" Keebo said. "Please, don't make any robophobic remarks, Tsumugi."
"Sooo, where'd you two meet?" Kokichi asked Monokuma and Monakuma.
"Who cares where they met?!" Kaito shouted. "What are you two freakazoids doing in my car?!"
"Puhuhuhu...why, mating, of course!" Monokuma said. "We bears also have urges, y'know!"
"But, how? You're robots!" Angie pointed out.
"Angie, are you insinuating that robots can't have urges?" Keebo asked. "I really think you should reconsider-"
"KEEBO, SHUT UP!!!" Kaito screamed, swinging his fist at Keebo. Keebo cowered in fear as Kaito turned back to Monokuma and his girlfriend. "Get outta my car before I RIP OUT YOUR CIRCUITS WITH MY TEETH!!"
"Okay, okay...no need to be such a jerk about it, Darth Hater," Monokuma muttered in annoyance. "Come, my beautiful Monakuma!" Monakuma giggled as Monokuma helped her out of the car. Kaito looked at the windows that were fogged up.
"Urgh...how did this even happen?!" he asked.
"Oh, that's what happens when machines overheat," Monokuma explained. "When that happens, things get a little...steam-eehhh."
"Just go away!" Kaito exclaimed in frustration.
"Whatever you say!" Monokuma grabbed Monakuma's paw, and disappeared into thin air, as he always did.
"Nee-heehee...woooow...so, it was Monokuma the entire time," Kokichi said, taunting Kaito. Kaito glared at Kokichi as he wiped his windows down.
"Don't forget his girlfriend," Tsumugi pointed out. The others went back inside, chatting about the incident that just happened.
"Guess you didn't have to worry about Kaito and Maki, after all, Monkey Buns," Kokichi said to Himiko. Himiko breathed a sigh relief.
"Nyeh...yeah, I'm glad they weren't doing the Electrical Waltz," she said. Kokichi burst into laughter as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, making their way back inside the house.

2023.03.28 21:17 BlueMonday1981 21 [M4F] Illinois/Anywhere/Online - Young man looking for a woman between the ages of 18-60 to form an online friend with benefits type of dynamic.
Hi!
My name is Dylan and I’m a 21 year old single guy from northeastern Illinois in the US.
honestly I’ve been so horny lately but I don’t have a sexual partner or sexting partner so I’d really like a genuine friendship where we can also satisfy each other.
I’m seeking some kind of close connection with someone either around my age or older is totally cool as well, anywhere from 18-60. With friendship being the main thing, however, I’m definitely open to things getting a bit spicier than that, whether that’s something where we remain friends yet can be flirty or romantic such as a friend with benefits for example.
I like to say upfront that I will always be mindful and considerate of your feelings and boundaries, especially concerning anything flirty or more intimate that we might get into. It’s important to me and we’d never have to do anything we weren’t comfortable with or ready for.
Physically I'm 6ft tall, I'm average/slim build, and I'm white/Caucasian with hazel eyes and dark brown hair. I wear glasses too.
I don’t have any preference on body type for whom I find attractive. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. I’m also attracted to people older than me as well, hence being so open to meeting people.
I’m currently living at home, trying to get a job at a warehouse but long term career goals so far is to do something in the electrical field/trades such as a fire alarm systems technician as I’m good with technical things like that. I’ve got older parents and I live on a main road in a small farm house so I’ve been feeling pretty lonely most of my life. I’ve listed some interests of mine below!
Now that we've established who I am and what I'm looking for, here are a few interests of mine to get to know me better!
• Fall/Autumn season
I had to list this one because I just adore the fall and everything that comes with it. My birthday is in October too so it's always been my favorite month. I much prefer fall and winter over a muggy humid summer. In the cooler seasons there's always ways to warm up.
• Candles and Incense
I love candles and incense and stuff like this!! I feel like you don't find guys into this stuff that much but I definitely am an exception.
• Technology
I'm good at fixing electronics and I'm quite nerdy in that aspect. So if something breaks I can fix it ;) I'm also good with my hands and quite inclined mechanically and quite the nerd.
• Music
I love genres such as classic rock, alternative rock, psychedelic rock, gothic rock, heavy metal, punk, post punk, hardcore, etc. My current favorite bands are The Cure and Joy Division/New Order. But I like tons of older and newer bands as well. such as: Bauhaus, Velvet Underground, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Type O Negative, Nirvana, Rush, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, the Wipers, Spacemen 3, Meshuggah, Megadeth, Buzzcocks, MC5, Stooges, 13th Floor Elevators, Screaming Trees, Green Day, Alice in Chains, Asylum Party, My Bloody Valentine, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Jefferson Airplane, etc.
• Cooking and Baking
I like to cook and learn new recipes, as well as bake fun things too! It's always nice when the house feels nice and cozy and smells good. I appreciate the simple pleasures in life, a cozy cup of tea and music or a movie in bed or sitting outside is so nice!
• Animals
I love animals of all types, and I currently have an older cat which I adore to death! We rescued her from the local shelter. She's the sweetest thing. (I think I love her more than anyone in the house lol, she just makes me so happy) :) I also don't kill insects or bugs, I catch and release them outside.
• Art
I enjoy art, both creating it from time to time such as drawing, and admiring other peoples work. There's just something so fun about it and seeing things so beautiful.
• Houseplants
I love houseplants and really anything nature related and also spiritual such as crystals and rocks. I love to help my mom in caring for all of our plants and also gardening outside when its a good growing season. Its fun! I also like cottage core and goblin core type vibes and enjoy sitting out on the deck burning incense, its peaceful :)
• Photography
I recently got a DSLR camera, a Nikon D5500 and a D200 and I've really been enjoying taking photos of my cat and nature landscapes! This includes closeups, photos of trees, the fields, etc. I've been working a lot on composition, long exposures, getting nice blurred backgrounds, depth of field, etc. It's interesting to me.
That’s me! I hope you get a good taste of what I am like and if any of this catches your interest I’d love to hear from you and we can get to know each other further. Thanks for taking the time to read my post, hope to hear from you soon.

My name is Dylan and I’m a 21 year old single guy from northeastern Illinois in the US.
honestly I’ve been so horny lately but I don’t have a sexual partner or sexting partner so I’d really like a genuine friendship where we can also satisfy each other.
I’m seeking some kind of close connection with someone either around my age or older is totally cool as well, anywhere from 18-60. With friendship being the main thing, however, I’m definitely open to things getting a bit spicier than that, whether that’s something where we remain friends yet can be flirty or romantic such as a friend with benefits for example.
I like to say upfront that I will always be mindful and considerate of your feelings and boundaries, especially concerning anything flirty or more intimate that we might get into. It’s important to me and we’d never have to do anything we weren’t comfortable with or ready for.
Physically I'm 6ft tall, I'm average/slim build, and I'm white/Caucasian with hazel eyes and dark brown hair. I wear glasses too.
I don’t have any preference on body type for whom I find attractive. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. I’m also attracted to people older than me as well, hence being so open to meeting people.
I’m currently living at home, trying to get a job at a warehouse but long term career goals so far is to do something in the electrical field/trades such as a fire alarm systems technician as I’m good with technical things like that. I’ve got older parents and I live on a main road in a small farm house so I’ve been feeling pretty lonely most of my life. I’ve listed some interests of mine below!
Now that we've established who I am and what I'm looking for, here are a few interests of mine to get to know me better!
• Fall/Autumn season
I had to list this one because I just adore the fall and everything that comes with it. My birthday is in October too so it's always been my favorite month. I much prefer fall and winter over a muggy humid summer. In the cooler seasons there's always ways to warm up.
• Candles and Incense
I love candles and incense and stuff like this!! I feel like you don't find guys into this stuff that much but I definitely am an exception.
• Technology
I'm good at fixing electronics and I'm quite nerdy in that aspect. So if something breaks I can fix it ;) I'm also good with my hands and quite inclined mechanically and quite the nerd.

2023.03.28 21:17 shorty0714 [18/M] Looking for long term Friends
Hiii, I'm July, I'm 18 years old, and I'm gay. I love reading though I haven't been into it since I'm a very busy student. I'm currently a senior studying STEM. My favorite subjects from this year are General Biology and General Chemistry. I have a whole presentation about my likes. Just tell me if you wanna see it. I'm 5'8 if that matters. I'm an ISTJ and a Cancerian. For Harry Potter Fans, I am a Gryffindor.
Looking for people who would also like a long-term relationship (platonic or romantic). I'm more drawn to talkative and clingy people. I would appreciate it if you're within the age of 18-35 but it isn't really important. I prefer to talk to men because I'm gay but I'll try to talk to everyone. Feel free to DM me. It doesn't matter where you're from just be nice and kind.
If you've read the whole thing, thank you. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to hear from you and I hope you have a great day :))))

2023.03.28 21:16 cdaddy555 Happy this place exists, not happy to be here!
Hey gang. I found this group and nearly started to cry. I'm 99% sure that my girlfriend has PMDD. I read through some stories and did research and it all matches up with the symptoms she consistently displays once a month. Things have been absolute pure fucking hell since last Thursday. Absolute hell. Just ludicrous. Every single thing I do is wrong. It isn't even worth going into specific details about the arguments that have ensued because they are truly pointless. No matter what I do it is wrong. She has been emotionally abusive, manipulative, gaslighting, insensitive and just flat out mean. I am so beyond exhausted. I have been trying to figure out what in the fuck is going on and she just kept blaming her IUD. She has mentioned to me in the past that when she got her period that she was borderline bipolar and that her IUD solved that issue. I'm now realizing that she likely has had this for a very long time. I made the mistake of suggesting she look into PMDD and all I got was "you're being insensitive. I'm getting help just fine without you. Getting my IUD out wont magically make me forget about how you've been treating me."
I have not been a perfect angel but jesus christ she treats me like I have murdered her entire bloodline. I am exhausted and doing my best to not take it personally but how is that possible? This is really negatively effecting my mental health and I fear that when she "comes to" that she still will hang onto the narrative that I am hitler, regardless of all the evidence of the contrary. I am scared and I am tired.
How do you handle this? I've known this woman for 2+ years and adored her the entire time. We have been dating for 3 months and each month this has gotten worse. Is that because she is more comfortable with me? We had the literal most amazing week and then fuckin BAM overnight it was awful and has remained so since then.
Is there hope? I do not deserve this.
She is perhaps the most "near perfect" partner I have ever had- we want the same things, she is supportive and loving and caring and takes care of me. She is ambitious and smart but this, this is too much. Am I supposed to just disappear into a cabin for 10 days each month? I am exhausted. Please send support, help and recommendations.
(28 M & F).

2023.03.28 21:16 AntOk463 I Found my Endgame
 | I just got Arya Stealth and am blown away by them, they are as good as people say. Having never tried anything in this price range, I expected them to be good, but they are much better. My main headphones were AKG Q701 and Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro. I had got the Sundara but they didn't impress me as much, and I preferred the AKG more so I sold them. Being my first high audiophile headphones, I loved the AKG, their sound, comfort, soundtsage, it was amazing to listen to, and the Arya do everything a lot better. I know there is the law of diminishing returns, and the Arya cost 6 times more than the AKG, but the difference between the Arya and AKG is a lot higher than the difference between the AKG and DT 770. The Arya are truly on another level. submitted by AntOk463 to headphones [link] [comments] I expected them to be uncomfortable weighing more than the Sundara, and being used to the AKG, but surprisingly they were comfortable, and the huge pads help. I considered the AKG to be as comfortable as headphones can be, suspension headband, lightweight build, big soft earcups. The AKG earcups touch my ears on the side and front, but for some reason I never noticed. When I put on the Arya, the earcups are so much bigger and deeper, after wearing them for a while I went to the AKG, and it felt so weird having them touch my ears. Also the AKG feel a lot smaller in general now after using the Arya. The weight is still a slight issue after using them for long enough, but surprisingly not as bad as you would expect given their weight. The sound quality is simply amazing. They sound as clear as the AKG, but offer more detail with clearly better bass. They also made me understand actual soundstage, I read a comment on here explaining soundstage isn't just how wide headphones sound, it's how well they can imitate the sound of speakers, and the Arya did feel that wide. It didn't sound like the sound was coming from the side of my head, but instead a few feet away from my head for some songs. I also applied an EQ to them, used auto EQ and made slight modification ls to it. It really didnt make a difference. In some songs it did improve the vocals slightly, but in other songs it made the soundstage weaker, in some songs there was no difference with EQ on and off. So I'll be using them without eq, I did make a bass boost eq that I can turn on when I want more bass. I also got a new amp for these, the Topping L30ii. I had a budget amp that was $45 on Amazon, and wanted something better because I feared it wouldn't be enough for the Arya. The Topping is good, but my old amp can provide just as much power while having equal quality. The Topping does have a pre amp output, but I don't use speakers, so it has no use for me. Now I'm wondering if I should keep the Topping or return it. Now on a more serious note, I want to talk about value and cost. Some people say spending this much on headphones is just a waste and it doesn't improve the experience. It's true that with expensive headphones I will enjoy music, but even with cheaper headphones I would still enjoy music. I don't use these for business or professional reasons, so it does sound like an unnecessary purchase. This is what I want to say, the past 3 years have been really difficult for me, I lost so much during that time and my life was falling apart. But during that time I picked up music, before I would rarely listen to music. During that time music was one of the only things that brought happiness into my life, and trying out these for the first time made me the happiest I've been in a while. I also consider audiophile headphones as an investment, they can be used, and they hold their value, so if I ever need the money again, I can sell them around the price I got them for. Feel free to ask any questions you have. |
2023.03.28 21:16 4990 To be loved and lovely.
- The Gaze.
JM is a 41 year old woman here for a chemical peel, her 4th. The results have been modest so far, limited it by her insistence on minimizing downtime. She comes in on Friday afternoons in order to be screen ready for her guest correspondent role on a major broadcast network the following week.
I examine her face with a clinical eye. She has natural balance to her face. The genetic lottery is an unrecognized truth about beauty in a world built on pay to play. A total absence of injectables, a rarity among public facing individuals in my practice. It's not hard to see how she would have turned heads in her youth. Now the indelible march of time has etched its mark. Fine lines in the periocular and perioral regions. Subtle volume loss in the midface. Scattered sunspots. Somewhat devoid of the je ne sais quoi that we can "luster".
"I guess I am a bad feminist to feel shitty for it. I don't know." The pseudo frost of the salicylic acid starts to appear signaling the end point. Over the following week her epidermis will regenerate with more compact stratum corneum, more even melanin dispersal, and if she's lucky, some collagen induction.
"No one wants to feel invisible" I respond as I prepare to neutralize the peel.
- The Indiscretions of Youth.
"We didn't even understand what sunscreen was. I'm embarrassed to say it, but we actually used baby oil to get a better tan". I clean the area with Hibiclens and design the the ellipse.
"I was really scared when you called to tell me the results, but then I told my friends about it and they've all had stuff cut off too! I guess melanoma is like abortion, we're all getting them and not one talks about it." She emphasizes the "e" in melanoma with a strong Australian accent. I numb and prep.
"I'm sorry I'm talking so much. I guess I'm just nervous. Don't mind me." I start the excision. It goes well and she continues to nervously monologue in an endearing way.
Later, as I close up, I recall an older attending, rancid breath, insisting, "imagine you're doing every closure on your wife's breast and you'll be looking at that scar for the rest of your life." I take time to undermine, correct minor step-offs, and evert the tissue. It takes a few extra minutes but I know that once the adrenaline wears off, she will care a lot about the scar despite her insistence to the contrary. Right now, she is briefly aware of her mortality. She will soon return to the banality of life, this scar her only reminder of the close call.
- There's Still Time.
"Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that" I respond, caught of guard.
"No, save it. It's a good thing. But we need to fix this up." She gestures to her face.
I grab a mirror, recognizing from years of experience that she wants to do a cosmetics consult. The Moncler jacket hanging on the wall and Birkin bag on the chair are not so subtle clues that money is no an object here. We study her face together. She is a Glogau II, indicating moderate photoaging.
"I got one good thing out of that asshole." She looks in the direction of an extraordinarily well-behaved toddler playing quietly on an iPad. "Now, let's use his money to get me ready for primetime."
I run her through my armamentarium: topicals, neuromodulators, injectable fillers, chemical peels, light/laser devices, microneedling, and PRP. We discuss the pros and cons of each and decide on glabellar, forehead, and crow's feet Botox + 3 sessions of intense pulsed light (IPL) to start. She will also start a high potency retinoid.
I calculate the total cost to $2000 and she murmurs, "sounds good". I notice that she she is still contemplating her face. Her lower lip trembles ever so slightly.
"There's still time for me, right?" She says quietly, longingly, a brief moment of vulnerability.
Aesthetics is at the heart of dermatology. Whether its our desire to age as gracefully as possible or to level the playing field in a superficial world. We all want to be seen. We all want to be loved and lovely.
2023.03.28 21:16 Throwaway276846645 19M looking for people I can be myself around [Friendship]
Been a bit lonely lately and I'm hoping I can find some new friends I can really connect with.
I'm from New Zealand but timezones don't matter, but it would be great if you lived close to here.
I'm really into music, I can talk about it for hours. My music taste is all over the place so I'm sure we will have some stuff in common. My favorite band is nana grizol and I would love to talk to people that know them.
I also like to play games, I don't as much atm cause I've been busy with work and life, but I'm into a lot of genres and it would be nice to play some co op games.
I also love the outdoors, I love to hike, stargaze, and go camping.
Some other misc facts about me: I'm a barista, I love to travel and plan on moving to europe at the end of the year, I'm autistic (would be nice to meet other people that are), I'm queer (and need more queer friends).

2023.03.28 21:16 Difficult_Wonder5131 Why am I like this?
I don’t know what to do. So the whole time I’ve been with my boyfriend he’s always been there. We were both very clingy with each other. School then started and now it’s not like it used to be. Obviously I understand. School and work can be hard at the same time. At the beginning he would still make time to see me and now not so much. The last time he told me we could see each other I said “really?!” and he said “well maybe but I’ll let you know” and he never let me know and just left me hanging. In his defense he would be the one to come to me. I can’t for reasons I don’t want to say but I used to bring that up all the time. I told him to stop because it’s just not fair but he said he didn’t care. He said he does it because he loves me and want to see me. I accepted it. I don’t see him often now in person but I can’t even call him like I used to. He goes hang out with friends. I know them and I’m not bothered by that in particular. It’s just I miss when we could talk. I don’t say anything because I know it’s not right for me to feel these things but it sucks

2023.03.28 21:15 Arteryse Help me understand Green Lantern?
Why is he so underrated in pop culture? GL has the power to create almost anything using imagination, If I remember correctly there's even a planet who's a GL! What went wrong with that character. GL has such an important place in DC lore & JL team but there are hardly any animated movies on that property! The potential of this franchise is endless tbh, space can consist of multitudes of allies, villains and grey characters then why has DC not capitalized on it?
Regarding the character itself, Hal Jordan is a test pilot and Stewart is an army vet (?), Did it never came to your mind how insanely powerful that ring would be in the hands of a genius character (let's say someone like Tony Stark or Mr Terrific level intelligent?) What's the appeal of soldiers having ring?
What do you love about that character and the franchise itself? How do you wish to change/alter it? What do wish to see in upcoming HBO's series?
With that being said, Can you give me good comic books and animated movies about GL? (I've read Earth One & watched GL: Beware my power and Justice League animated series)

2023.03.28 21:15 UberDuderOfDoomer Thoughts on weapon/projectile/magic creep in the tekken series
I'm sort of torn.
Tekken has always been a more fist and kicks style of fighting game. It came out when "realism" and "3d graphics" was still advertised as some sort of selling point on the box art, and most of the fighting styles were based on martial art caricatures of the 80's/90's. For all the weird animals and anime stuff you could point to, most of the gameplay has been the opposite of fireballs and flying around ala street fighter. Pretty much the only character with a weapon for most of tekken was yoshimitsu, and he was as likely to use it as a helicopter or stab himself, as he was going to actually swing it at the opponent. Even the item move weapons in recent tekkens are more for memes than actual use. This is a universe where you can catch bullets with your teeth, survive chainsaws and fists are mostly the actual thing people use to fight each other.
Enter tekken 7: Noctis, negan, kunimitsu, 2d characters, leroy('s staff) etc. Every other DLC or guest has some sort of weapon, projectile, or magical mechanic. Its not the first tekken game to include gimmicks like this, but its clearly a major shift as to how common it is. All of these characters have easily executed, core moves that involve these weapons, projectiles, or magic, and have been magnets for new players who want a leg-up on range and simplicity. In other words, the opposite of yoshi's sword.
At first glance, it looks like tekken 8 is undeniably encouraging that sort of stuff. Nina has full blown pistols, marshall his nunchucks, jun/kaz/jin their new devil stuff. A lot of people are not happy about that, and I'm on the fence about it, but there is some silver lining in my eyes.
I think the devs are putting more thought into this than in tekken 7. So far, most of the effects have been relegated to moves during combos, or have replaced old moves without significantly changing their properties. For example, [Nina's qcf423](https://youtu.be/N3sAt0JbqNs?t=50) now uses guns instead of a kick, but you were never using that move out of combos, and the old move slammed them to the wall in the same way. In this case its more a matter of aesthetically refining the character than giving them new random BS. Other things, like nunchucks, at least make sense for a character that is based on bruce lee, and in the case of paul, who's all about muscles, they didn't feel the need to randomly assign him a weapon when it wouldn't make sense. So far, I'm sorta-kinda digging the those changes. They feel new at least and could grow on me.
Flash forward to the Jun trailer, her sparkle effects are looking like a reskin of her sludgy corruption moves [when she was Unkown in tag 2](https://youtu.be/hitGVQaqmHU). So for that at least, there is some precedent as a supernatural boss character. As a side note, I'm actually suspicious she'll end up the new final boss in her corrupted form, her stage is giving me serious heavenly/fallen garden vibes.
And this is where some people are probably going to disagree: All the meter mechanics and weapons might actually be a net decrease from all the gimmicks already in tekken 7, we've simply put up with t7 for so long we've gotten used to it (and we probably shouldn't).
Imaging watching a tournament top 8 right now. You'll see a lot of 2d characters jumping around with street fighter style animations, chucking projectiles at each other, tech rolling into i1 invincible dp's, teleporting around the stage, burning meter every round to do death combos. Online isn't safe either, there are a ton of noctis players mashing db2 and f2 on wifi connections that are reminding you weapons are a thing in this game. I think people rightfully want less of that. And I think 8 will be a net move in that direction gameplay wise, despite the aesthetic embellishments and older characters getting discount max mode/weapons.
Maybe this post will age poorly and the next character reveal will be gunny-mc-gunface or they'll announce the return of eliza jumping around, but so far I'm actually somewhat hopeful of how they are handling the new tekken style. What do you guys think?

Tekken has always been a more fist and kicks style of fighting game. It came out when "realism" and "3d graphics" was still advertised as some sort of selling point on the box art, and most of the fighting styles were based on martial art caricatures of the 80's/90's. For all the weird animals and anime stuff you could point to, most of the gameplay has been the opposite of fireballs and flying around ala street fighter. Pretty much the only character with a weapon for most of tekken was yoshimitsu, and he was as likely to use it as a helicopter or stab himself, as he was going to actually swing it at the opponent. Even the item move weapons in recent tekkens are more for memes than actual use. This is a universe where you can catch bullets with your teeth, survive chainsaws and fists are mostly the actual thing people use to fight each other.
Enter tekken 7: Noctis, negan, kunimitsu, 2d characters, leroy('s staff) etc. Every other DLC or guest has some sort of weapon, projectile, or magical mechanic. Its not the first tekken game to include gimmicks like this, but its clearly a major shift as to how common it is. All of these characters have easily executed, core moves that involve these weapons, projectiles, or magic, and have been magnets for new players who want a leg-up on range and simplicity. In other words, the opposite of yoshi's sword.
At first glance, it looks like tekken 8 is undeniably encouraging that sort of stuff. Nina has full blown pistols, marshall his nunchucks, jun/kaz/jin their new devil stuff. A lot of people are not happy about that, and I'm on the fence about it, but there is some silver lining in my eyes.
I think the devs are putting more thought into this than in tekken 7. So far, most of the effects have been relegated to moves during combos, or have replaced old moves without significantly changing their properties. For example, [Nina's qcf423](https://youtu.be/N3sAt0JbqNs?t=50) now uses guns instead of a kick, but you were never using that move out of combos, and the old move slammed them to the wall in the same way. In this case its more a matter of aesthetically refining the character than giving them new random BS.

2023.03.28 21:15 PiggyMcoof Article 18: The Great Pie Heist and Other Memories
18a: It was nice a sunset when Willow was upset at what had happened to William "Guys, I don't think Willow's coming out of that room." Rash said concerned. "Well, it's not like we could just steal her something special." Billy commented. Rash then said "Brilliant idea. But we might need a third hand." that's when Pony walks in and says "Sorry I'm late, I had dinner with the Piggy family. Man does Piper know how to cook." "Pony, something happened to William and we want to cheer Willow up." "I've seen Willow sleep in your arms before, you go talk to her." Billy reminded Pony. "That only happened once and we were all tired after last year's Halloween pranks." Pony protested. "You gotta hand it to him, stacking on top of each other wearing garbage bags and a ripped mask and was pretty hilarious" Rash commented. "Probably because you didn't have to deal with Pony's sweaty feet in a garbage bag and black cloth." Billy replied. "Regardless, Willow needs cheering up, good luck in there Pony." Billy said walking Pony to Willow's door and knocked. "Remember, the chances of you being ripped to shreds by Willow or me actually, are slim on a bad day." Billy said, "Hey, Willow, we want to talk." Billy called. The door opened and Willow is sitting dead center of the room with William's scarf in her hands." "Willow, would you like to heist with us?" Billy asked. "I suppose I could give that another go after all these years. Up until recently, I've had everything delivered to me by Daisy and her son. Them being enlisted does not make things easier." So they all exited the room and the heist began Rash hopped into a dumpster and picked up his crowbar. At that point, Ron had gotten the notification some activity was going on in the alleyway the heist is taking place. He packed some things and was on his way. Doggy and Poley were also with him Rash knocked out a wooden gate with his crowbar and Billy used a jackhammer on a garage door after he did that he said: "Man, I haven't used one of these things in years." Rash noticed the officers as they were arriving. Doggy, Poley, and Ron hopped out of their car and then put the squad to running and dodging. Ron passed something during his investigation. A melted-down dumpster with lots of blood and garbage everywhere. Ron also picked up a medium-sized wolf skull burnt and delicate. He puts it in a safe place for evidence's sake. As well as a burnt and ripped jean jacket and some of the nearby cooked pieces of trash. Doggy and Poley just saw Willow and Pony in the pie warehouse. "Maybe we could find nice pie or something in here for you." Pony said to Willow. That is when Poley and Doggy caught up to them. "Willow, you and your friend here are under arrest for trespassing into a restricted area, robbery attempt, and -" Before Doggy finishes his sentence, Ron walks in and says "Hold it. Before we arrest them for sure, we gotta know their motives." "Ron, I like that you're being cooperative. But we already know the motives of these demons that Willow and her squad are." Poley stated. "Really, how do you explain this?" Ron asks as he pulls out the burnt wolf skull. Everyone's eyes widened especially Willow's. "What did you do during this investigation?" Doggy asks. "Initially, looking for the less obvious traces on the outskirts of the alleyway when I came across this." Ron answered. "William.." Willow said to herself. "I don't know what else to do, for now we'll put this arrest on hold and figure this out." Doggy said. "No arrests this time." Poley added. The officers walked out of the warehouse and leaving Willow and Pony alone. Rash and Billy walked in and Rash opened a crate and Willow pulled out a strawberry-rhubarb pie." they made their way back to the hideout and Willow's room. "Ah, another successful heist." Billy stated. "I'm surprised that it was one of those officers that made it possible." Rash stated. Pony was about to turn around and go back to the Piggy household when Willow said otherwise. "Pony, can I have a word with you?" she asked. Rash and Billy left the hideout, leaving Pony alone with Willow in Willow's room. "The heist was a fun little idea." Willow stated. "Pony, can I tell you something?" she asks. Pony answers "What is it?" Pony replies. "I've been a little nervous to say this... but, I have a probably not-so-small crush on you." Pony's eyes widened and his pupils dilated slightly smaller. He never heard those directed to him before. His eyes snapped back to normal and he laid down on a green sleeping bag with one hand on his heart and the other between his hand and the pillow he was using. Willow was still pretty sad about the loss of her brother but she was able to place a joyous smile as she kissed Pony on the cheek and tucked him in. The smile didn't last long because seconds after, she remembered why they went on the heist in the first place. She then took the pie and thought of the officers more specifically Ron McOof, the Solving Mysteries host who found William. Willow took the pie and walked it back to the warehouse. On her way back she ran into Billy. "Oy, Willow never thought to see you here in 'Ul Monslid Regins.' That's Zanzian for 'Lunar Rays'. Or simply just moonlight." He started followed by "I was just looking for my old jackhammer. It's been a while since I've used it." He laughed and continued searching.
18b: The weather was unclear because this is a war going on. Both The Republic of Lucella and The Herzegovinian Empire we're in the battle of the century. Sargent Monroe, a Dolov-Lucellian mole who withstood the separation of Dolovia and The Lucellian Republic. A search and hunt battle took place. in one of the Dolovian edges, in a small woodland. Sgt. Monroe and his troops are seen shooting at the Herzegovinian troops and vice versa. They've sent Mitch to the battlefield. He wore what resembles a scarecrow or a farmer's wear with a jack-o-lantern carved into the battlefield. The enemy troopers all fire at Mitch but nothing happens. Mitch is there, he's been under Eddy's 'magic' and thus making him this scarecrow who can't feel pain but is still somehow alive and functioning. He sneaks into a small camp With a hostage and quite a few guards and soldiers. He finds the hostage. Dr. J. Payton (The 'J' doesn't stand for anything, Payton just put that in there because he thinks it's more standardized), A scientist who is a few steps ahead of his time. When he was brought to Commander Fergus, it was revealed Mitch and Dr. J. Payton had been followed. That's when the sergeant's daughter got shot in the head by a Herzegovinan soldier. By the time Sargent Monroe killed that soldier, it was already too late... or so they thought. The flashback ends and the aforementioned scientist was writing on a clipboard and mixing chemicals while also keeping an eye on Penny who had large black blisters and was a tad bit larger than usual, even her dress had black stains. She was contained in a tube-shaped terrarium, suitable for her especially if this distortion continues. Dr. Payton also received what sounded like heavy breathing and Penny's voice but deeper and darker but it was hard to tell what she is saying, it took Payton some decoding but she said "Mom and Dad, where did they go?", "I was given an offer of my life, now it's being run by the purple suited guy.", "Why did Mr. P do this to us, I thought Dad said Mr. P was his friend.", "I wonder if the scientist can understand what I'm saying and could help me." "I can't be too mad at the Solving Mysteries guy, he hit that monster that shares my body with me." All of these were said and decoded hours to even days apart and out of order.
18c: It was a very strange night for a family of arctic foxes. That's when Abby and Albert (a youngish-middle aged married couple of arctic foxes) found a very young and very abandoned child. "Look, Albert, it's a child." Abby said. "I'm not blind, Archie was just born a couple of months ago, how do we plan to multitask the two?" Albert answers. "It's also a human child. These things used to be so common until World War V, an event that impacted the wildlife we used to be greatly. I don't think this is what the Russians or Americans thought when they said WWV would change the world as we know it." The young child stared Albert and Abby down and giggles a bit. "What are we going to do?" Albert asks. "We have to do something, it's only going to get colder this winter season." Abby responded. "I suppose we have no choice. We take it with us." Albert said. Abby got out of the car, picked up the child and put 'it' in Archie's car seat. Making it government official, Abby and Albert from that point on had a second child named 'Annie' Back to around the time of the infection (2 weeks before the testing) Archie and Annie were living on the Lucellian coast just south of The North Sea. Archie wakes up and walks out the door to the room they were staying in. "Where are you going, Archie?" Annie asked with her sweet curious voice. "Remember I had that interview a week ago for that job on a ship called the Medora, I thought my first day was tomorrow but it's actually today." Archie replies with a partially scratchy voice (he is just getting better after having strep throat for two days between the interview and this point). He goes into the bathroom and puts his orange suit on. Annie gets dressed and walks Archie out to the pier where the Medora would dock. Dakoda, the local lighthouse owner and diving enthusiast also was waiting with Archie. "So, will this be a goodbye forever?" Dakoda asked "Well, I wouldn't think of it as a 'Goodbye', more so a 'See you later.' Besides, Surely we'll come back for a visit." Archie replies right before taking s drink out of a water bottle. Eventually, The Medora docks and they're greeted by Captain Budgey, a ship captain who takes her job too seriously (or not seriously enough depending on how you view it) "Ahoy Everyone, today be the day the Medora staff expands." Budgey starts. Bobby accompanies her writing things on a clipboard. "Well, am I going to get aboard or what?" Archie asks Bobby whispers into Captain Budgey's ear and then answers Archie's question with "Yes." Annie and Dakoda watched and waved goodbye while Archie sailed away on the Medora. Then the infection rolled around and it is chaos, Dakoda invites Annie to the lighthouse and there they stayed for the first month of the infection, during one of Annie's supply runs she finds Dakoda unconscious and with a giant scratch on his face, she then flees the seaside. She then wakes up in the safe place by Ron when the building was being blown to the ground.
18d. Ron was passing by some prison cells and one of the cells he passed was Silzous' "Silzous, The Republic of Lucella's most wanted serial killer." Ron called. "The Ssssssssssolving Myssssssteriesss guy." Silzous replied. Silzous stares at Ron before he walks away. During either recess or field time (I don't know the difference, sorry) that's when Silzous met Willow. "Hey, we're the top two criminals in here, what if we work together and rebel against this kind of society?" Willow stated (and asked) Silzous answered "As the guy sssssaid, I'm the nation'sssssss mossssst wanted ssssssserial killer, and you're here becaussssssse you took a pie." "I'm capable of many things other than theft, and besides it's not like I wanted to do it either." Willow added, "I've chopped sssssssso many headssssss with my axe and, my mosssst recent ones are ssssssssusssspected workerssssss." Silzous responds. "Of what?" Willow asks "Thisssssss evil group named The Insssssssolence, a terrorisssst group with unknown evil intentionssssss asssssss of now." they then shook hands and started to their breakout. With many attempts, they managed to outsmart the police officers at the station coincidentally Ron called in sick. Something eventually leads to Willow getting herself arrested to give Silzous a bit of time. Silzous looks up into the sky as a star twinkled at him which teleported his axe to him. During the infection, Silzous is seen writing in a notepad about what he believed to be a type of God that spared him for getting assisting in battle. That's where he met Laura just sitting at a tree in some woods.
18e: Laura was a schoolgirl with that one bully... on second thought make that 3. Leon (The son of Leo, a laundromat owner in the infamous alleyway), Wally (a not-so-distant relative of Willow), and Dane (No, he is not Doggy's child.) Laura would be minding her own business when one, two, or all three of these guys do something to bully her. She is amongst one other characters to not speak in their school (or in the Narrative Series and not infected). She was outside in her treehouse. Thinking about what to do one night. When her teddy bear spoke in a deep voice. "I... can... save..." Laura was just shocked, she shakes the teddy, and orange dust emanated from the teddy and Laura inhaled some of it. This made Laura pass out for the night waking up at around her usual wake-up time Laura got to school on time and fully ready even more than she thinks. On her walk to school, she has a run-in with Wally, Dane, and Leon. Each wielding a golf club or in Wally's case a pool cue. She knew what was going to happen. Her eyes blackened and her teddy's eyes whitened "Aww snap, what are we doing to her?" Leon asks. "I think whatever's happening we don't want to see." Wally commented. The guys ran off but Laura grabbed Dane (who was the closest one), pinned him down, and made him stare into her eyes. Staring into her black soulless eyes put him into this trance (It's not related to the infection, the infected takes control of the body and leaves the mind usually. Not Dane, Laura's trance took control over Dane's body and went the extra step of making him brain-dead. Whenever Laura would give a command like "Let's have a tea party with these stuffed animals." Dane would do it emotionless and would only talk to answer a question like "Does this bow look good?" and Dane would answer to match whatever her opinion is. When Wally and Leon found out what Laura did to Dane they were terrified of what she did and thus making the entire school horrified of her. The teachers at least taught the lessons but always lived in fear of what Laura would do to them. In a bathroom built into the basement, Dane is giving Laura a bubble bath. "Yes master, you're looking squeaky clean." Dane says emotionlessly however, he isn't wrong, Laura did get out of the bubble bath well-bathed. She at one point got Dane a coconut bra and grass skirt and made him hula dance in front of her for entertainment. (there are way more ways that Laura 'tortured' Dane but they would be way too much filler so I'm not putting them here.) Laura told Dane she'd be back one day. She found Silzous writing in a book
18f: Sometime between the break-in at the mansion and the infection, Eddy discovered Crove was in his mansion. "You're that bird that everyone's been searching for, What are you doing here?" He asked her. "Sorry for sneaking into your home, fact is all I did before this was roam." Eddy then let her stay at the mansion. "Duocara, that's our new roommate." Eddy then opened his secret room with his black key and received a call from Spidella. "Eddy, terrible news. Finley is missing. I don't know where he went, he just vanished." She panicked. "The southern ruins... The pharaoh and his relative, All is gone from there. Where are you right now?" Eddy replied. Spidella has hung up or so Eddy thought. Then that's when he saw Silzous, his axe cuts through his neck. Duocara went haywire and that sent a singal to Kona who traveled there to check out the situation, attend a funeral and collect Duocara.
Bonus: There once lived King Milo, Queen Viola, and their son, Steven (Who later named himself Shardantus). After King Milo and Queen Viola's reign, Price Steven took command of Dolovia. "Ya know Kraxicorde, I need a way to differentiate myself from the previous leaders of Dolovia." Kraxicorde looked at Steven like he is on some illegal substances. "Kraxicorde you're a genius!" Steven said in excitement. "Do things other leaders, wouldn't have done. Have a kraken as the advisor, reduce offerings greatly and take suggestions from the Dolovian citizens." He said. "But all revolutionary leaders had epic names, Sharkinator, No. That would be for something for a robot." that's it came to him, "I got it, Shardantus." Kraxicorde just smiled Shardantus made it official and abided by what he said to his pet kraken and more. Everything was going well until the infection made it to Dolovia. Infecting citizens at an alarming rate too fast for Shardantus and the Dolovian council and senate to keep up. It got so bad that in order to survive Shardantus fled the nation with Kraxicorde. He brought his best combat armor, his best trident, and the clam necklace for a sign of serenity to fellow survivors. He lived off the coast of Grodian (one of Herzegovina's former territories) Where he saw a big ship called The Medora dock for supplies. "Ahoy there... King Shardantus?" Captain Budgey greeted "Yes, it is I. Who are you?" Shardantus answered. "My name be Captain Budgey, captain of the Medora, I'm from Koimun (Koimun is based on a real-life place called The Cayman Islands, also being located around the same spot.) I'll say, your leadership style is unique especially for a Dolovian leader." The captain and the king sailed away. Some time later, The Medora was running out of fuel and Captain Budgey got herself infected by one of her loyal crew members, Pepper. While Budgey still had control she went to Shardantus and asked to be tied to a railing. He did just that before Budgey turned. Now he's alone with Kraxicorde and on his way to the Lucellian seaside town.

"We're about 3 quarters into the main part of the Piggy Narrative Series and it won't be over after Lab or it's Hidden Ending. I also plan to do Piggy: Intercity, Piggy X The Lost Book, and Dark Deception X Piggy (If there will be actual lore involved like The Lost Book collab and not just a skin/item based on Dark Deception {clears throat} Jailbreak) Also, I want to clarify that release dates for my Narrative Series (or it's sequels) I'm not doing because I've seen what the (impatient side of the) Piggy community has done when MiniToon delayed Piggy chapters. Thanks for reading this far into the Narrative Series if this is your first article or your 18th welcome you are amazing for reading this series. No lore-filled side-notes this time, chances are you've done enough reading for one day (unless you're really into books) - u/PiggyMcoof

This made Laura pass out for the night waking up at around her usual wake-up time Laura got to school on time and fully ready even more than she thinks. On her walk to school, she has a run-in with Wally, Dane, and Leon. Each wielding a golf club or in Wally's case a pool cue. She knew what was going to happen. Her eyes blackened and her teddy's eyes whitened "Aww snap, what are we doing to her?" Leon asks. "I think whatever's happening we don't want to see." Wally commented. The guys ran off but Laura grabbed Dane (who was the closest one), pinned him down, and made him stare into her eyes. Staring into her black soulless eyes put him into this trance (It's not related to the infection, the infected takes control of the body and leaves the mind usually. Not Dane, Laura's trance took control over Dane's body and went the extra step of making him brain-dead. Whenever Laura would give a command like "Let's have a tea party with these stuffed animals." Dane would do it emotionless and would only talk to answer a question like "Does this bow look good?" and Dane would answer to match whatever her opinion is. When Wally and Leon found out what Laura did to Dane they were terrified of what she did and thus making the entire school horrified of her. The teachers at least taught the lessons but always lived in fear of what Laura would do to them. In a bathroom built into the basement, Dane is giving Laura a bubble bath. "Yes master, you're looking squeaky clean." Dane says emotionlessly however, he isn't wrong, Laura did get out of the bubble bath well-bathed. She at one point got Dane a coconut bra and grass skirt and made him hula dance in front of her for entertainment. (there are way more ways that Laura 'tortured' Dane but they would be way too much filler so I'm not putting them here.) Laura told Dane she'd be back one day. She found Silzous writing in a book
18f: Sometime between the break-in at the mansion and the infection, Eddy discovered Crove was in his mansion. "You're that bird that everyone's been searching for, What are you doing here?" He asked her. "Sorry for sneaking into your home, fact is all I did before this was roam." Eddy then let her stay at the mansion. "Duocara, that's our new roommate." Eddy then opened his secret room with his black key and received a call from Spidella. "Eddy, terrible news. Finley is missing. I don't know where he went, he just vanished." She panicked. "The southern ruins... The pharaoh and his relative, All is gone from there. Where are you right now?" Eddy replied. Spidella has hung up or so Eddy thought. Then that's when he saw Silzous, his axe cuts through his neck. Duocara went haywire and that sent a singal to Kona who traveled there to check out the situation, attend a funeral and collect Duocara.
Bonus: There once lived King Milo, Queen Viola, and their son, Steven (Who later named himself Shardantus). After King Milo and Queen Viola's reign, Price Steven took command of Dolovia. "Ya know Kraxicorde, I need a way to differentiate myself from the previous leaders of Dolovia." Kraxicorde looked at Steven like he is on some illegal substances. "Kraxicorde you're a genius!" Steven said in excitement. "Do things other leaders, wouldn't have done. Have a kraken as the advisor, reduce offerings greatly and take suggestions from the Dolovian citizens." He said. "But all revolutionary leaders had epic names, Sharkinator, No. That would be for something for a robot." that's it came to him, "I got it, Shardantus." Kraxicorde just smiled Shardantus made it official and abided by what he said to his pet kraken and more. Everything was going well until the infection made it to Dolovia. Infecting citizens at an alarming rate too fast for Shardantus and the Dolovian council and senate to keep up. It got so bad that in order to survive Shardantus fled the nation with Kraxicorde. He brought his best combat armor, his best trident, and the clam necklace for a sign of serenity to fellow survivors. He lived off the coast of Grodian (one of Herzegovina's former territories) Where he saw a big ship called The Medora dock for supplies. "Ahoy there... King Shardantus?" Captain Budgey greeted "Yes, it is I. Who are you?" Shardantus answered. "My name be Captain Budgey, captain of the Medora, I'm from Koimun (Koimun is based on a real-life place called The Cayman Islands, also being located around the same spot.) I'll say, your leadership style is unique especially for a Dolovian leader." The captain and the king sailed away. Some time later, The Medora was running out of fuel and Captain Budgey got herself infected by one of her loyal crew members, Pepper. While Budgey still had control she went to Shardantus and asked to be tied to a railing. He did just that before Budgey turned. Now he's alone with Kraxicorde and on his way to the Lucellian seaside town.
End of Article 18
"We're about 3 quarters into the main part of the Piggy Narrative Series and it won't be over after Lab or it's Hidden Ending. I also plan to do Piggy: Intercity, Piggy X The Lost Book, and Dark Deception X Piggy (If there will be actual lore involved like The Lost Book collab and not just a skin/item based on Dark Deception {clears throat} Jailbreak) Also, I want to clarify that release dates for my Narrative Series (or it's sequels) I'm not doing because I've seen what the (impatient side of the) Piggy community has done when MiniToon delayed Piggy chapters. Thanks for reading this far into the Narrative Series if this is your first article or your 18th welcome you are amazing for reading this series. No lore-filled side-notes this time, chances are you've done enough reading for one day (unless you're really into books) - u/PiggyMcoof
2023.03.28 21:15 shorty0714 [18/M] Looking for long term Friends
Hiii, I'm July, I'm 18 years old, and I'm gay. I love reading though I haven't been into it since I'm a very busy student. I'm currently a senior studying STEM. My favorite subjects from this year are General Biology and General Chemistry. I have a whole presentation about my likes. Just tell me if you wanna see it. I'm 5'8 if that matters. I'm an ISTJ and a Cancerian. For Harry Potter Fans, I am a Gryffindor.
Looking for people who would also like a long-term relationship (platonic or romantic). I'm more drawn to talkative and clingy people. I would appreciate it if you're within the age of 18-35 but it isn't really important. I prefer to talk to men because I'm gay but I'll try to talk to everyone. Feel free to DM me. It doesn't matter where you're from just be nice and kind.
If you've read the whole thing, thank you. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to hear from you and I hope you have a great day :))))

2023.03.28 21:15 Modern-Monarch Family
I never spoke to anyone about this... But honestly I'm craving for love and it's hard to admit, I grow up in a toxic family where once you cry or broke down weak ka or parang tanga kana or pag depressed ka sasabihan ka pang magpakamat*y kana lang tutal pagod kana, tumatak to sa brain ko. I grow up having two personalities one for my family and one being the real me; it feels like I can't be me when I'm with them I'm restricted or choked specially dahil na rin sa religious beliefs. Bumabawi naman sila rn the only problem is it's too late, I love them don't get me wrong but there's a wall between us na di ko na matatanggal kahit kelan and dahil broken family kami and di ko rin nakasama mga grandparents ko ngayon parang nag ccrave ako sa pag mamahal nang isa pamilya pero di sa pamilya ko it's like gusto sa ibang family mang gagaling kasi pag sa kanila feel ko di totoo, ang hirap bukod pa yung sa mga exes ko na toxic and manipulative feel ko damage na damage nako. Naiisip ko kinsan gusto ko magkapamilya pero everytime na naalala ko yung naransanan ko no thanks nalang plus yung paghihirap sa pilipinas ngayon ayoko na dagdagan yung problema. Torn ako di ko alam until jow I know depressed pa rin ako I know deep inside me di pa healed yung inner child ko.
