2024.05.14 03:39 SensitiveSelf4102 Prolonged Issues after Surgery

34M Australia - 25/11/24 I had the following procedures (private):

Colonoscopy (Sessile serrated polyps found during colonoscopy in 2021)
Sphincterotomy
Removal of third of forth degree hemorrhoids

Recovery has been far from smooth sailing and I'm still not 100%. I've been back to my specialist multiple times with reoccurring issues including sharp pain and bleeding (sometime spotting or more severe after bowel movements). I've been in a constant cycle of this reoccurring every month since the surgery.
I had appointments with my specialist on 24/02/23 and 06/03/23 to discuss my concerns. After having a physical examination on both occasions, I was told everything was fine. My specialist mentioned that there were surgical staples that were still in place, but that they would come out on their own over time.
As the months went on, I was still experiencing the issues previously mentioned. I went back a third time on 03/10/23 for a follow-up. During the examination, the specialist said that the staples were still there and decided to remove them.
I thought this would be the end of my problems, but the bleeding and pain still continued. It seemed like my wounds were not healing properly. I had another appointment on 14/11/23 and was recommended Botox as a solution. I agreed to go ahead because I was starting to get a little desperate at this point. The specialist said he could do it cost price. All I needed to do was purchase the Botox from one of his associates (GP) cosmetic clinic. I'm not too sure if this is a red flag or not.
I scheduled an appointment for 01/12/23 and was instructed to collect the Botox beforehand and bring it with me to the specialist clinic in an Esky (portable cooler). The procedure itself was quick, and I was looking forward to finally getting some relief.
As the weeks went by, I started to get some complications, including difficulty emptying my bowels, fecal urgency, pain that would last hours, and a buildup of pressure. It felt like I had a golf ball inside of me, and my muscles were trying to squeeze it out. At this point, it was Christmas time, and my specialist wouldn't be available until February 2024.
I went back to my specialist on 09/02/24 to explain my complications. After a physical examination, the specialist said that they couldn't find any issues and that everything had healed properly. They seemed perplexed as to why I had any concern about what was going on. After further discussion, they suggested that I probably have Levator Ani Syndrome and wrote me a referral to a physical therapist for pelvic floor therapy. I was a little dubious, as the symptoms I was experiencing started after I received the Botox injections, and I had never had these issues before. The pain I had experienced was due to the bleeding and reopening of my wounds.
Since then, the only contact I've had with my specialist is via email. Getting an appointment can take up to three months and past visits have mostly been essentially a waste of time. At this point, I was still having issues with bleeding, so my specialist requested that I keep a diary of when it occurs and take pictures as evidence. On 28/03/24 I had a pretty bad bleed, so I took a picture and emailed the specialist. They responded pretty quickly and remarked that this was unusual. They recommended making another appointment if this continued.
After this email exchange, I went ahead and booked a consultation for pelvic floor therapy. The physical therapist said that it will take up to six months to regain proper function again. Presently, my pain comes and goes. Some days are better than others. I emailed my specialist yesterday (13/05/24) with an update on my condition and the current symptoms I was having:

Bleeding every few weeks, most recently on 11/05/24. It always seems to be in the same area. Roughly 1 inch inside at 12:00.
Difficulty completely emptying bowels.
Loss of muscle function in pelvic floor.
Regular discharge of mucus.
Irritation and pressure built up in the lower rectum.
Persistent chronic pain.

They responded, but downplayed my concerns and recommended that I continue with the pelvic floor therapy and book an appointment after that. Then they would explore options for further testing if any issues were still present. I was pretty dissatisfied with this recommendation and lacked any concern for what I was currently experiencing. I reiterated my concerns again and expressed my frustration with the whole situation and how I believed the surgery was unsuccessful. The specialist responded in a really unprofessional manner, saying that I was inflammatory, rude, and disrespectful. I can't believe how arrogant and out of touch this person is. I've been extremely patient and understanding throughout this whole ordeal. I feel like my frustration and disappointment are justified.
I won't be going back to this specialist, but I need to get to the bottom of how this all even happened and who is at fault. Is it bad luck, or is this a result of poor care from my specialist? I've made a booking for a comprehensive examination of my pelvic floor at another clinic. Hopefully, this will shed some light on what my symptoms are and a way to move forward.

2024.05.14 03:38 Electrical-Ad-2922 I think my future MIL hates me - what do I do?

So for context -my partner and I have been dating for half a decade. Our relationship is strong and we are enjoying our time together immensely - he's the love of my life, my favourite laughing partner and just a really special human being I'm honoured to know so deeply. My MIL came accross as a strong personality but seemed delightful and embraced me at first. Over the last few years it has become suspected she has a personality disorder with her "incidents" and behaviour. My partner and I are planning on getting engaged this year and have had this timeline for a very long time. While this should be a very exciting time in my life - I am instead feeling worried, stressed, and down. This MIL is constantly bringing up the concepts of engagement, weddings, and babies at get-togethers which sure is fine but the thing is it feels like she makes an effort to leave me out of it. My partners brother is also proposing this year to his partner which have been dating a few years less than us (super happy for them). My partner also has another sibling that isn't planning on proposing anytime soon and is younger. I have a really good relationship with everyone else in the family including the father (says i'm like a daughter), the siblings, and the partners (we have become friends). My MIL is not only making the maintenance of these relationships hard, but she is making me feel like abolute crap on a consistent basis at family events with how she blatenly treats me poorly compared to others. Here's some examples:

At family events the MIL will bring up the topic of marriage, babies, moving in, etc. talk about it happening for both other siblings and then completely disregard me and my partner. For instance recently she went on about who shes inviting to the one siblings wedding and then talked about how the other sibling (one not proposing anytime soon)'s would be and then (I kid you not) looked at me, said my partner and I's names and laughed.
Im telling you at every.single. event. for the past 3 years from the first few months of them dating she is bringing up the other siblings future engagement and how they deserve it so much etc. Cute at first but its very very excessive at this point (and thats me underexagerating). Im talking about begging, and not letting the topic go when no one in the room is reciprocating. Not a peep has been heard about me and my partner in this half a decade of being in the family. - Would I every want it to the extent of the other sibling? no. Do i find it odd and a bit rude? Yes. especially considering the fact that she has known my partner is proposing this year.
one day she brought down her mothers gold jewlery and was passing it to the other siblings partners and asking what type of ring she wants. Then when that sibling's partner asked me (attempting to include me in the conversation) and I showed pictures of the the ones I tried on and the MIL immediatly went quiet then interrupted and changed the conversation back to the other siblings partner. She acted like I wasn't there and afterwards the other siblings partner said they noticed too.
when leaving a get together she went out of her way to hug every partner but me.

-When the other sibling's partners arrive an excited voice and questions about work/life are had. Meanwhile, when I arrive it’s a short embrace with very little effort/interest in my life anymore unless it has to do with something that impacts my partner like whether we are going to my house this weekend.

After not saying a word to me in a room she calls over other siblings partners and has private conversations in the other conjoining room about non-private things.
(this is wild that im even saying this) I noticed she covers our picture on the mantel up by either putting other siblings and their partners photos in front or a nick nack like a bible verse plaque.

Efforts I have made over the past few years that I think qualify me as a good DIL /her response:

I have tried doing activities she enjoys with her -making an effort to let her know I care about her and her interests. - a lot out of my comfort zone.
One of my love languages is gifts/acts of service (I don't expect it in return but I would think she would atleast treat me kindly) - I hand-made the whole family including partners sweaters (while other partners go nothing), every year I make the family yearly recap videos, I also make every family member including her birthday videos where I spend hours collecting photos, and videos from the past with their favourite music - started as something just for my partner but my FIL was so appreciative of it I thought i would do it for everyone. I do something special for her for international womens day and mothers day every year.
I thank her in cards and have told her many times for raising very kind respectable humans.
I ask her questions/ listen to her vents about conflicts with friends or family - (which btw she can be very negative about people).
Myself and my partner both do the most activities with her and go out of our way to visit/help her the most. (ie. going shopping together, visiting her at work)
I have cleaned her whole kitchen/ made food for the family on my own dime and time.
Even when we first started dating and I was a broke university student - I would go out of my way to spend money on her and her family because i wanted to and I love them.
When she would have mental "incidents" ie. leaving the house for a few days, calling family members really horrible names etc. I was the one who would speak sense to my partner and his siblings about how this is a mental health issue and she doesn't really mean it. - I have defended her at her worst.

Most recently:

invited her to two outings/events things we have done together before - denied
Asking her about life/work - not holding conversation
Used to hug me good morning/goodbye - not anymore.
Blatantly ignoring my prescence in the room when other siblings partners are there/not including me in conversation
didn't respond to my mothers text and makes very little effort with my family (despite my family having them to our cottage and visiting/checking in - my dad and the FIL are friends) - meanwhile when we are in big groups she is constantly talkig about the other siblings partners parents and going out of her way to invite them to fancy dinners - buy them the most expensive bottle of wine etc. (bc she "wants to make a good impression"). - lol i guess my family wasn't important these past 5 years.

I feel as though my family is treated as less important and I myself am treated as less worthy of engagement or marriage when I have tried my hardest to just be accepted and respected by their family. I have made many efforts to show my care and loyalty to their family but the events I used to look forward to have just turned into sour reminders of how vastly different I am treated.
Some of these things above I have cried, laughed, or both about. There are many more things she has done that have hurt me these past few years of our relationship which I haven't mentioned above by myself and my partner thought were unintentional at the time and not necesary to address. She has love bombed me before which has confused me and made me think i'm over reacting to feeling like she wasn't treating me well/ doesn't like me -but most recently its gotten to the point where I am crying when I get home from every family event because of how prominent her efforts to exclude and bellttle me are.
Me and my partner have great communication and have agreed on the implementation of boundaries such as increased distance if her behaviour progresses etc. and he has offered to say something but I am scared. No matter what, I will have to attend family get to-gethers and I am marrying into this family that I really do love. I get along with the siblings partners so well it's such a shame that her presence leads to her making me feel poorly around them because of how she acts/things she says. I have also suggested she gets more mental support but right now shes attending therapy alone where I don't think she is fully honesst about her incidents/treatment of others. My partner knows she is unwell and we are both upset and tired of this being a thing. I definitely don't want to be overly embraced and put on a pedestal but I think what shes doing currently takes more effort than just acknowledging me and treating me with an ounce of the kindness she gives the others. I am scared to get engaged after her reaction to hearing we have been ring shopping and I am also more scared about the concept of a wedding or having kids as I find she has a tendency to be controlling and I don't want my future kids to see their mom being treated like this or possibly be treated the same. That of course made my partner upset and now don't know where to go from here (hence me referring to reddit) but I know a life with this is not a happy one for me or my partner and I don't deserve it but I love the family and I do love her for who she may be when shes mentally more well and her perseverence in life.

2024.05.14 03:37 AllanonShannara Returning player looking for build suggestions

Like many of you I played Fallout 4 (PS4) when it came out. I put 80+ hours into it, got to Level 52, beat the story, and never touched it again; I was in university, so much of the game is a blur to me as I was heavy into my studies. Now married with children, a career, and PS5, I want to start a new playthrough but want to take a more pre-meditated approach to my play style, compared to my original organic experience.
Can I get some suggestions on play styles (attributes, skills, story choices) considering the points below:
Wants: -To do a lot more settlement stuff: building + trade routes -Explore and Search through every nook and cranny on the map -Focus on Power Armor (using + collecting; does this default me to siding with the Brotherhood?) -Attack style: anything but melee (looking back at my original save, my main guns were Explosive Advanced Assault Rifle, Improved Focused Overcharged Laser Pistol, Relentless Advanced Combat Shotgun, VATS Enhanced Advanced 10mm Pistol)
Notes: -In my first playthrough I did a lot of crafting, so I could take it or leave it -VATS, I could take it or leave it -I’m not generally a stealth-type player or heavily use explosives, but can learn if necessary for this build -I’ve never used Mods or played DLC but am open to them
I think that’s it. Are there any existing builds that accomplish the above points, or is it combining multiple builds? I’m also looking for any suggestions like story choices, tips and tricks for getting further quicker. Anything that I need to consider?
Thanks in advance to any and all who take their time to reply.

2024.05.14 03:36 Kazuki_the_Hyena INTJ & Art Share Your Story

I've always been a lover of art. Unlike most, however, I wanted to be a part of that world and not just merely an observer. This seemed counter-intuitive to who I thought I was as an INTJ. You all know the stereotype: cold and calculating. Logic over emotion. Spock. But much like Spock himself, we INTJs actually feel emotion even more strongly than other people - we just tend to hide it. Another thing: a sense of identity. We INTJs have a very strong sense of individualism. If everybody else zigs, we zag. We tend to choose the path of greatest resistance, despite it being somehow illogical, simply because no one else will do so.
This manifested in me through art. I had no innate talent for drawing nor for music. During the Pandemic, I took up photography which turned out to be a good blend of the artistic mindset and calculating logic. Although I was good at the craft, I eventually moved away from it. There are various reasons for which I don't want to get to here. I'm not just blowing myself up when I say I was good at it. I received a lot of praise for my photo work. Yet at the same time I found that it was undervalued. I suppose it sort of stems from the INTJ tendency to fixate on abstract ideas, that search for the core truth, which when manifested in my work nobody understood.
Later on, I dabbled a bit in design. I thought I could get out of the 9-5 workplace and yet do something I enjoyed at the same time. I'm aware that there are many freelancer designers out there who get to work from home. For whatever reason though, the opportunities that presented themselves at the time were from a studio or office. I got an interview, and then, after a shaky interview due to my lack of actual work experience in the field, somehow secured a job. I didn't show up. On that final interview, I had a slight "tour" of the office and they also gave me a test to see how I'd perform. It was there I discovered it was just going to be another run-of-the-mill job. In hindsight, I should have expected this. Whatever the case may be, I realized I didn't quit my last job just to get another office job where the only difference is the kind of pencil I pushed.
So finally, I ended up where I am now. I'm a cartoonist and caricaturist. The kind you see on New Yorker and Mad Magazine. As I mentioned before, I was bad at drawing. But some kind of mad spirit had possessed me and, in less than a year, I learned how to draw portraits and other things. There's still much for me to learn and I haven't reached any tangible kind of success yet. But I finally reached a place where I think I belong. The kind of work that I can and WANT to do until I die.
I've always been somewhat successful in past endeavors. I was as the top of my game in my last "real" job. In short, there has always been some kind of reward for my efforts that was, relatively, easy enough to aim for and achieve. This is different. My endeavors this past year have been the hardest in my entire life. Simply because this is such an unknown path. There's not much obvious and current data for me to go by and formulate a strategy. There is no clear reward at the end. And then there's things like AI. It's frightening. It's No-Man's land. Of course, I'm not going into this with my eyes closed. I still have my logic and one needs to put bread on the table. Of course, there are things in place for that. But still. There's the guilt for doing something that, statistically speaking, has a very low chance of success. Guilt to my family, guilt to myself. But never me the odds. Actually, tell me - but I'll ignore it anyway. So, in almost all aspects, my current endeavor goes against who I am as an INTJ except for one: my sense of individualism.
So that's my story thus far. If you're an INTJ and an artist in any sense of the word, I'd love to hear yours.
PS. Read my story with a grain of salt. I'm not trying to push a lesson. I'm also fully aware that some of the mindsets and perceptions I've had or currently have may not be entirely true. Again, it's just a story.

2024.05.14 03:36 rachel_bachel123 Being sick with a toddler has to be top 3 of least favorite things about being a parent

Sorry, big vent incoming. Just want to get it out somewhere.
Our house got the stomach bug last week. My daughter picked it up at a local mom get together (why do you go to those if you are/were just sick??? UGH) So it was 5 days of me, my husband and my toddler girl being sick with all the gross stuff. Luckily my husband and I got over the stomach things, but the diarrhea is lingering in my toddler (to my understanding this is relatively normal, but it still makes me anxious).
I hated those 5 days. I felt like crap, I felt bad for my sweet husband who felt like even worse crap and I still feel so bad for my little baby girl who is still dealing with stuff.
And just when my gut started feeling better I picked up a sore throat which luckily wasn’t strep, doc thought it was just something viral, but that quickly turned into laryngitis and now I’ve lost my voice and my nose is starting to get stuffed and I’m worried I have a sinus infection coming on. And oh yeah I’m 20 weeks pregnant 😭 (don’t worry I’ve been in touch with my medical provider this whole time and baby isn’t in any danger, it’s just a little icing on this cake of discomfort). And I’m only three days into this nose/throat thing, and it could easily last another week.
I just hate losing more sleep than I already am due to not being able to breathe + throat pain. I hate that I can’t communicate with my daughter or my husband. I hate not being able to swallow without pain. I hate that I feel like crap.
I realize I have a LOT to be thankful for, I just want to be back to my normal so I can be a happiebetter mom and wife.
So yeah, being sick with a sick toddler is definitely top 3 least favorite part about parenthood. It might take spot number one but I’m saving that for something worse that may come along 🙃

2024.05.14 03:33 dudetteG Anyone else conjure up something screwed up in your sleep? This is from almost 5 years ago, I was told it was f***ed up. Wrote it all down as soon as I woke up

It started with me not really being me, and my family and friends being people I don't actually know. I was up at late hours, as usual. My friend was in my bedroom sleeping. I felt off, like there was something lurking around. Then I see it. This giant mass of dark colours, a scary face with teeth, and long arms that could stretch and also work as deadly claws. He was there for my friend. He comes for you while you sleep. He somehow made me believe that it is a painless way to go, and made me okay with him taking my friend. There was a darker motive though. When he tried to go into the bedroom, my parents woke up. My father asked why I was awake still, and I just shrugged my shoulders without really knowing what to say about the creature I just saw. Even then, he would have thought I was hallucinating from lack of sleep. The sound of my parents waking up, woke up my friend. She started playing loud music, and somehow knew about what was happening. Then I got a phone call. "Don't let them take you or anyone out the window. They will cut you until it feels like fire, and make you wish you were dead. Trust me." "They?", I thought. Thats when he went back to sneaking into the bedroom, and just as I was about to intervene, something grabs me, and pulls me back. Slicing into my sides, I started screaming. Was this what the girl over the phone was talking about? The giant creature pulls my friend out the window, and thats when I get released and whoever was holding me darts out the window to go with them. My parents came out of their bedroom once again because of all the screaming. I'm hysterical, crying, bleeding, and in a lot of pain. They ask me whats going on, almost in a yelling tone, and thats when I spill about everything I saw, what he said to me, and the phone call. My mother looks skeptical. My father looks like he believes me, but wishes he couldn't. This is when he decides we're all going to get my friend back. Me, my mother, my father and my younger brother. We leave the house and head in the direction they launched out the window. After a lot of walking, we come across a town that seems like it shouldn't exist. Its small, but filled with life, and kids, and a fun feeling. My father makes us pick up the pace. "We're being followed." He says in a hushed tone. Thats when I see it. Its a girl, in a pale hoodie and jeans, with bandages over half of her face, and the hood over her head. She could pass for my friend, but very clearly isn't. Her body language was too different, and why would she follow us instead of running to us. We lose her in the alleys, but then decide to make the mistake of cutting her off in the street. We ask her what she wants, she doesn't reply, but makes a few steps closer. Suddenly the town that was so filled with life, and the sun, and colour, spins under us. Everything is red, there's screaming, dead bodies laying and hanging everywhere in the streets. The girl that looked like my friend, starts running. She disappeared around a corner. Once we turned the same corner, there was a gate. It looked like it could fall any second, or like there was a lot of patch work done to it. We go through, and that's when the testing began. At first it was just running away from different beasts, or people who had gone insane from being here for so long. Then there were two actual trials. We had to crawl up into these vents, while they were on. It wasn't too hot or too cold, but there was enough air flowing to make us slip, a lot. All four of us held hands. The openings in the bottom would pop open randomly, in attempt to lose one of us. My mother was first in line, and I almost lost her during one of the vents popping open. In the very bottom of each opening it was different. A different way to die each time, and none of them quick. Her hand slipped from mine, but I had caught her just in time. If it weren't for my father holding my hand, I would've fallen through with her. We continued on, and we eventually make it to the end. At the end there was this pipe that went downhill. There was running water all through it, so we could easily slide down. There was nowhere else to go, it was our next test. Still holding hands, we jumped in. It seemed easy enough. Other than the random spikes, or deformed monsters coming out of the water and trying to kill us, we were pulling through just fine. Then, that's when we all heard him. Mid-slide, his voice echoes. "The young one must eat to keep his energy up." That put all of us on edge. My little brother had to eat little fruits out of the water. That was the actual test. So many thoughts ran through my head, but the one that was the loudest was a worry of him getting poisoned. But, he is naive. He just grabbed one and ate it. He is too young to have such worries. After that, we had to walk through a hallway, almost office like. The rooms you could see into, since the walls were just windows. Once we looked ahead again, at the end of the hall, was him. He was standing there, so still that we didn't notice him the first time. In the room next to him, we could see her. My friend was on her knees, blindfolded. I ran to her, and the creature just let me pass. I removed the blindfold from her face, and when she saw me, she gripped me so tightly into a hug.

2024.05.14 03:31 LittleBirdSansa The ableism really jumps out of medical records, geez

I was reading some summarized medical notes from childhood just for kicks and giggles and man, talk about really seeing some of the ableism. I knew what I was in for since I had recently requested later records, so for this one I opted to just get abstract summaries. I had no particular motivation in getting these records other than a strong idle curiosity. I now have a few connected diagnoses, you know the ones, POTS/EDS, allergies, asthma, and also narcolepsy is thrown in there just for fun. Plus the occasional eczema flare up and recurring headaches that never stay on my chart.
I think some small part of me hoped that the notes from my pediatric time would show doctors who cared but couldn’t figure out the problem. With the records I found from my high school years, that tiny hope was quashed without a bit of surprise.
When I was a kid, we’d been in and out for years between headaches and abdominal pain. Lots of the abstracts imply my mom is somehow at fault for bringing me in but oh this one section just made me put my phone down. I was 9 at the time of this visit, just for context. Cynicism was clear in the notes that I was being coached on describing my headaches because I sometimes looked to my mother to help me explain or give details on symptoms of my severe headaches, specifically the possible auras. Probably because I was in too much pain at the time to code the memories properly and also I was barely 9, of course I was going to check with my mom.
Multiple notes reference me watching TV or reading or listening to soothing music “despite” my headaches and idk maybe I did but I also know I had a lot of times I laid in the bathroom because it was the only quiet and dark place.
Apparently abdominal migraines are a thing and even when one of the medical professionals said that seemed to be part of my problems, the sheer skepticism oozing from these notes…I have to laugh so I don’t get angry. It 100% sounds like my symptoms were worsened by my anxiety/depression but my mom brought me into the office during one and I was clearly suffering, that wasn’t “just” psychosomatic. Also, luckily, I outgrew the abdominal migraines.
I also had an essential tremor (now treated perhaps thanks to my POTS beta blocker) worsened by anxiety and I acknowledge it was worsened by anxiety, that doesn’t mean caused by anxiety ffs. That issue came up later, in the previous set of requested records. Also we kept bringing it up with doctors because my teachers were commenting to us on it out of concern.
Back to the records I just got though. Multiple instances occurred where we got blamed by one specialist for trusting another. Example: with the GI issues, one person told us maybe it was lactose intolerance. Another person down the line would take notes like we were hypochondriacs for saying “person 1 said maybe there’s lactose intolerance, maybe that’s part of it? We were told to track if symptoms were worse after milk. They didn’t seem to be but maybe?” The test for it later came back negative and the notes sound so high and mighty that again, it’s laughable.
Also the amount of “in no acute distress” despite coming in for complaints of pain, etc. I’m not surprised but I am somehow still disappointed.
Mom did get anxious about my health sometimes, seems she tried to keep me away from milk for a bit just in case. I also do believe there were some things where she brought me in unnecessarily but the poor woman was an anxious first time parent. I fault her for lots of other things but not being overly worried about my health to doctors who kept dismissing everything. Plus, I’ve always been extremely sensitive to physical stimuli and imagine I was deeply unpleasant when dealing with that discomfort while learning how to be a human.
On a more lighthearted note, apparently I took a prescription of belladonna for a while, I didn’t even know that was a thing but it was a fun Google rabbit hole to go down. I guess I also played soccer when I was in 3rd grade, which was news to me! I don’t doubt it, I just didn’t remember I’d played it.
I’m not genuinely distressed, like I said, I expected the ableism. Mostly I’m just satisfied to have my curiosity largely sated and a better timeline of certain things in my own life. As sad as it is, I can’t help laughing that multiple grown ass adults with medical degrees seemed to have one-sided beef with prepubescent me. Why even go into pediatrics, especially a pediatric specialty like urology, cardiology, etc.? (Rhetorical question)

2024.05.14 03:26 Ririruro Where is Melinoë from?

[SPOILERS for dialogue Vs the final boss of HADES II]
I wish I remembered to take a screenshot of the interaction but I'm assuming time travel of some kind might be involved in the story now. Especially after some dialogue between Melinoë and Chronos where she says she's from a future of sorts.
Unless I'm reading into that conversation too much. Chronos does shut that idea down by stating how it's impossible to go back as time only moves forwards and since he is time, I'm inclined to believe him on that.
However, we know that Chronos' control/undertanding of time can be fallible through Magick as we learn an incantation that prevents him from resuming the game if you try to pause during his boss fight.
So with Melinoë being involved with Hecate and the witches of the crossroads, is it possible that Melinoë is indeed from the future?
I'm not fully sure of the strict timeline of events in the story. I believe it goes: Chronos escapes > Chronos takes over house of Hades > Hecate rescues infant Melinoë > Chronos begins war with Olympus > Grown up Melinoë is revealed to the Gods by Hermes > The start of the Game.
Even with that, we're not too sure of how long each of these individual events last. My main concern is how long the war between Chronos and the Gods of Olympus has lasted. After unlocking the surface and the City of Ephyra (which is just on the outskirts of the underworld/current domain of Chronos), I assumed Chronos' takeover has been a relatively recent event and based on dialogue with various Gods about going to Olympus, it doesn't seem like they've been locked in this conflict for a long lasting amount of time.
There's also details such as Melinoë being the only one who has aged considerably compared to her past self (family picture in her tent where she's an infant) but I guess this could be countered by most of the cast being divine, near ageless beings.
This leads me to believe that there's a possibility that when Hecate rescued Melinoë, they spent a long time training together, not getting involved with the ongoing battle for better or worse. Afterwards, through some witchcraft, Melinoë was sent back in time earlier during the battle where Chronos' forces are still relatively new and the Gods aren't exhausted by a prolonged conflict so they would have a greater advantage against the Titan of Time.
Just a theory though. There's other things that could go against it as well, such as the hints at Melinoë's past relationship with Icarus. Also, there might be additional dialogue that I've either missed or haven't seen yet. This is Hades after all, where there's just so many unique lines of dialogue. Hopefully, in future patches or when the full release of the game comes out, we'll know by then.

2024.05.14 03:24 AngelmZeal1 The night when a bus ride almost became my last one ever

Just another one of those nights, I thought, sitting all alone on a bus stop bench at around 9:47 pm last Thursday. I had to catch my breath because of all the running I did, hoping to get to the last bus after working extra hours. The last bus, n°RH08B7usually arrives at 9:35 pm if not late, and that night, my hopes turned into reality when I saw its lights illuminating the stop. I watched it get close and could clearly read the number on its front screen, making me beam with relief.
Upon entering, I greeted the driver who did not respond at all, and I found the vehicle completely empty. Never mind, I thought, and comfortably seated somewhere among the first rows. I got my phone and texted my colleague and friend Lizell. I will not assume everybody can read and understand our texting slang so I will write it normally instead:
'Liz?' I wrote.
'Hey girl, please tell me you already in your +Drive (the most popular rideshare app in our country)' Lizell responded. 'Those people will not pay for all the extra hours. You know it' She added.
'No girl I'm on the bus. I changed my mind hoping the last bus would be late and it was. Guess you caught the one before, right?'
'The one before? Zora, where are you? Which last bus?'
'The last bus, the RH08B7. You really making me type a full code?'
'Girl, I got the last bus, I'm currently in the RH08B7.' She texted back.
'You lying 😳' I replied, before she sent me a picture of a screen inside the bus she was on, clearly showing RH08B7.
'Girl, stop messing with me 🤣 ' She wrote, before I sent her a picture of a screen inside the bus I was on, clearly showing the same number.
'Girl, get off NOW!' She replied.
'Next stop for sure' I texted.
'Look, let me the cops or something' She responded.
After pressing the button indicating my will to get off at the next stop, I waited, trying to remain calm. When we were close to the stop, I rejoiced seeing two people waiting, probably hoping to get on the last bus if it was late, just like I did. The two persons even stood up, expecting the vehicle to slow down and stop, and so did I, making my way to the door.
The bus did not stop.
Both of them raised their arms and shouted, confused at what was happening.
"Hey! Hey stop! Driver, stop!" I yelled, banging on the locked door.
I walked to him and could not even utter a word the moment I saw him. He had a mask, those smiling ones you see bank robbers wear in the movies. That was no good sign. I stood there a few seconds until I could speak again and asked:
"What— what you doing?" What else could I say? He remained silent, ignoring me. "Sir?" I called.
"I'll advise you to sit back down madam. And don't you dare bang on my door again." He calmly replied.
Waiting for him to reach his 'destination' was the worst move I could make, so I tried to insist.
"Just why are you doing this? Where we going?" I asked.
"Sit— back— down!" He commanded.
"N— no!" I let out on the verge of tears, while his only response was to pull out something from his left and carefully placed it on his lap.
It was a gun.
A gasp escaped from my mouth as I took a few steps back.
"Look, I— I can give you all I— I have money on me right—" I tried negotiating but stopped when his head slowly turned to me.
"Are you looking down on me? Do I look hungry to you?" He asked, his voice slowly rising along with his growing anger, as he completely ignored the road. "Can't you see I have a job? A professional and competent driver like me?" He yelled. "SIT— BACK— DOWN!" He commanded again. That time, I obeyed.
While I made my way to the back of the bus, contemplating my options, he seemed to read my mind as he switched off the lights, attempting to prevent me from making signs to potential pedestrians. Unfortunately for him, I used my phone, and a few people saw me waving the lit screen like crazy inside the dark of the vehicle. I also soon noticed that no button on that bus actually worked.
Suddenly, he accelerated and stopped considering the lights, other motorists and just everything. I soon heard the police sirens until two law enforcement cars came into view, chasing the bus. The vehicle then started swerving, unfortunately knocking cars out of its way as I tried to hold on to a seat. Tears covered my face as I expected the crazy driver to lose control, the vehicle to flip over and both us to just die, each time I saw cars on the side nearly crashing into the bus. At some point, I lost my grip on my phone and I tried to open a window, thinking of jumping off like in the movies.
The windows too were locked.
"Don't worry madam! We'll soon reach the terminus. Thank you for traveling with us and remember: whatever your journey, you can count on us to drive you safely!" He shouted...joyfully.
When we finally arrived at the terminus, he unlocked the door and dashed out, still chased by the police.
I got rescued from one officer and even though I had not sustained any injury, I already intended to take a well-deserved leave that I am currently enjoying as I am typing this post. There might not be any ghost, ghoul or monster (depending on what you decide to call that lunatic) but there you have it, the scariest thing that ever happened to me. At least up to now.
The crazy thing is that he escaped and he is still out there, somewhere.

2024.05.14 03:24 DJustScrolling Drive Thru Hell

I work at a Tier 3/4 store, so most days we're very busy. However it's been raining the past few days so luckily it was slow today for the most part. I was on drive thru today and it was starting to pick up after lunch. I was tending to lane 1 and they had 1 script ready and another in review status for an antibiotic that we needed to get ready. At the same time I was on the phone with a patient who had called prior regarding an insurance issue for their Vyvanse. I had to get my pharmacist to help cause I didn't understand how to navigate it. So with drive thru and the phone call whilst putting away cenfill, I was busy and getting a bit overwhelmed. But ofc, there's always that one person who feels entitled to being tended to ASAP and quickly. They pull up in lane 2 in a truck and automatically press the button even though they see me and the pharmacist in the window and a line of cars in lane 1. One of my coworkers answers the phone and tells them we'll be with them in a moment. They ring again after 3-5 minutes not being tended to because ofc I'm still trying to get lane 1's stuff together, and with antibiotic suspensions, it takes time since you have to mix them as well. So on the 2nd ring I don't remember who got to it as I was preoccupied. However as I'm ringing up lane 1, they ring AGAIN and this point I'm fed up and answer the call and told them I'll be with them shortly however if it's something you need right away you can come inside for it. I mightve said it harshly but I was already ticked because what makes you think that just because you come into an empty lane you're gonna get quick service. Obviously they left not shortly after which I could careless about but the whole interaction itself just reminded me why I dislike manning the drive thru. However despite that, today was really pleasant. Most likely attributed to the rain and less people coming thru pharmacy. We were actually able to get cenfill, pcp calls, and deletions done before those working the evening shift began to arrive.

2024.05.14 03:22 findmeatthechappell Update ish

I am traveling home for a couple weeks tomorrow and likely will be divorcing and coming home permanently afterwards. I’ve spoken with my boss about transferring and I have my car to move most things (my pets) in. Dunno if I’ll be able to afford a moving trailer for a while tho for the rest of the stuff.
Dude is blaming everything on that he didn’t realize I was too far gone. In what world was that not obvious, is my question. It was. Otherwise girl would not be saying she’s weirdly into it. I know it wasnt as premeditated bc I asked for an edible not the other way around, but suggesting more than my usual and saying it should be fine was a thought of how to make things go, once it was on the table.
The other day we were out with friends and he was showing his photos - I got nervous because I’d seen him filming me the week prior without asking and I was scared they’d see it so I asked him to delete. Suddenly I was being gaslit that he’d videoed me at all. He all too quickly was saying he never had - right after admitting that he’d done it once without permission. I know bro is lying but I think it’s because it’s been uploaded somewhere and no longer on his phone, or he deleted it soon after I said something cos he was all about “you can check my phone” and for some reason all about “I haven’t been cheating” when that wasn’t in question at all, makes me think he’s definitely cheating and sending that video to girls to make them want sex cos that’s what he did with the first video the first time. I told him im not stupid, im not dumb, I saw what I saw, that I think he’s lying cos there weren’t no notification sound and there’s no way he was watching porn either cos he’s never done that. I just don’t understand why the lying. His cousin was there and it was taking everything in me not to spill to her. Told her at the very least once she saw something was wrong, that he’d traumatized me last week and was gaslighting me rn. I think she’s heard “his side” as he calls it before but I’ve never told her the reality. I packed it all inside and shaped up for the rest of the day and we said we’d talk more later but I didn’t feel up to it anymore. That was around when he was saying too that he didn’t realize I was too far gone. No excuses for what happened, anybody would’ve known I was too far gone. The reality is that they were worried I’d find it cheating if they didn’t include me even if I was too far gone they still wanted to have their fun.
If I do talk to him further about it I’m secretly recording it if that’s allowed in my region. Dunno if I wanna deal with legal cos let’s be real I wouldn’t likely win, he’s military and I know too many military men who got off Scott free - other than the fact that he finally admitted what he did was sexual abuse in writing about a year ago. I know his damn bitch mother told him to be careful but he finally felt safe enough to let his guard down, that I wasn’t gonna hurt him legally. Of course, relapsing and traumatizing me after two years changes things. Idk if it’s enough but it’s something so I might have a stronger chance than others. Idk what I should do. I don’t have the money or the stamina but. He will do it to other women if I don’t make it very public and will anyways to any poor trusting woman who just believes im a vindictive cunt. It’s easy to believe the person you’re head over heels for. I’m worried he’d ruin my name by saying I’m making it all up because of my mental health. Idk if it’s worth it

2024.05.14 03:20 thedumbestdummy514 Multiple positives, too early?

(Reposting with pictures)
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting here and if my test truly means I'm pregnant then this would be my first pregnancy.
My period is in 5-6 days and l've been feeling really weird the past week or so. I ended up taking a first response, early result digital test and it popped positive, saying "yes+". I then took a rapid result test about 15-20 minutes later and it popped positive as well. My partner and I bought one more pack of early results tests, in which I took that one and it was positive as well.
My friend ended up taking me to the ER so I could get a blood test to see if there was HCG in my blood or if I had false positives.
The doctor argued with me and told me that tests can look positive once they sit out too long, he didn't seem to care when I told him it literally popped positive in front of my eyes. I saw both lines develop and I saw the yes pop up. He refused to give me a blood test and instead opted for a urine test, in which it came back negative. He was very rude to me and dismissive of all of my question.
My friend bought me another pack of tests since it didn't sit well with me that my tests were negative and they both were positive as well.
Am I crazy or am I actually pregnant? I'm not technically late yet but that's 5 positive tests today. I do plan to get it confirmed somehow but I don't have insurance and in order to get insurance in my state while pregnant, I have to have confirmation from a doctor.
I know it might seem crazy to want confirmation with 5 positives but the way that doctor dismissed me made me feel crazy.

2024.05.14 03:20 ksteve46 Silph Co Rival Gets Schemed and Owned! (4.0 Normal MGM/care package Nuzlocke)

Apologies in advance - this will be a long post as I am amped up right now!
I am doing a hardcore nuzlocke of 4.0 (because the AI changes of 4.1 were too frustrating to plan against) and in all of my attempts and prior nuzlockes I had NEVER been completely stumped on how to win like I was for the Silph Co Rival’s blastoise team. I usually always go water starter but went for incineroar this time so this would be my first run up against the blastoise line …
This team has WAY more set up potential than the other two rival teams. Understanding how much this AI loves to set up and use status moves, Swords dance kingambit, Jolly/aerilate/sharp beak/swords dance/sleep powdedouble-edge jumpluff, shell smash/mega launcher mega-blastoise are all potential run-killers. Sheer force/life orb Darmanitan and sharp beak staraptor can also hit HARD.
My box at this point (3rd picture) was NOT very good for this. I was very prepared to lose some soldiers in this fight and potentially the run altogether. Most of my mons were slower than everyone but kingambit and many of the mons that could be faster than jumpluff like mienshao, accelgor, zoroark, and espeon just would not be able to get in safely and kill before being killed. I planned for TWO DAYS and we seemed destined to meet our end.
Or so I thought …
The plan I finally found was not so simple, but we not only found our only way out of the fight with this strategy … we made it out DEATHLESS. But it was not without several risks along the way …
The team:
The Lead - Our potentially AI manipulating Houdini, Bold/Static/Magnet Ampharos with Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, and Confuse Ray
The Sweeper - Timid/Adaptability/Silk Scarf Pyroar with Flamethrower, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, and Noble Roar
The Queen’s Gambit - Adamant/Iron Fist/No Item Pangoro with Knock Off, Bullet Punch, Parting Shot, and Hammer Arm
The Wall - Adamant/Sturdy/Occa Berry Steelix with Protect, Toxic, Stealth Rock, and Earthquake
The Plushy - Impish/Huge PoweSitrus Berry Azumarill with Aqua Tail, Aqua Jet, Toxic, and Bulldoze
The Pivot Gambler - Careful/Emergency Exit/Loaded Dice Golisopod with Liquidation, Sucker Punch, First Impression, and Pin Missile
The Plan:
Ampharos was set to volt switch the staraptor. There were two possibilities from an AI standpoint because I don’t fully understand hard switch AI.
Either staraptor hard switches to Jumpluff because it’s the fastest mon remaining that isn’t 2HKO by Ampharos OR staraptor stays in, close combats for about 30%, and dies while Ampharos leaves battle.
If it was a hard switch to jumpluff, volt switch would do just enough so that Pyroar could come in and outspeed and kill with flamethrower without ever taking damage.
If staraptor stays in and dies, the AI will send in whatever mon best matches up with my choice from a speed and defensive standpoint.
EITHER WAY, if I choose pyroar after the volt switch, with pyroar at full health, the remaining mons all are outsped and at best 2HKO by pyroar making them all equally likely to come in after the kill. This leads to a random selection which almost dooms us if it’s blastoise vs pyroar, and certainly dooms pyroar if I try to hit the high roll hyper beam.
What follows turns out to be a dream scenario:
Staraptor stays in and dies to volt switch, I choose pyroar with a 25% chance for blastoise to come in with tons of backup and ruin this run with shell smash.
Played to the outs and was rewarded with a random KINGAMBIT … OHKO with flamethrower.
33% chance for blastoise now. Played to the outs and was rewarded with a random JUMPLUFF … OHKO with flamethrower
50% chance for blastoise now. Played to the outs and was rewarded with a random DARMANITAN
Switch to azumarill who tanks a rock slide, aqua jets it well under half, tanks a U-turn (since it knew it was dead to priority) procking the sitrus berry, bringing in blastoise.
At 145 HP, blastoise needed two shell smashes to have a range to kill azumarill. It was my best defensive option. On the first, I toxic. On the second, I bulldoze. It’s just under 50%. Another bulldoze + 3/16 from toxic should kill after the defense drops, but I’m not positive on that and I could die first from a high roll water pulse. Switching saves no one.
Risking the plushy for the sake of the run, I click bulldoze. The water pulse does not roll high and I live on 5 HP BUT GET CONFUSED!
The Plushy not only hits through the confusion but CRITS THE BULLDOZE TO KILL THE +4 SpA blastoise!
Darmanitan comes back out. It’s now a random move. I switch to golisopod so he can either live and sucker punch for the kill or be ejected out to pyroar who can close with a fast hyper voice. Golisopod is hit with a weak EQ and sucker punch seals the deal!
An insane stretch of luck, sure, but after two days of planning and having every mon survive, I am PUMPED for the team and had to share with you all the events, even if no one reads :)
Have a wonderful night everyone!!

2024.05.14 03:19 DearMyFutureSelf I Have A Massive Crush On Another Boy...

We had anatomy together the first semester and now we share personal finance. He also has a study hall with me, though we sit at different tables. He is so fucking cute. I can't stop thinking about him. He's a great student as well, getting excellent grades in both of the classes I've taken with him. At study hall I always hear him laughing and it's such an adorable, infectious laugh. I'm absolutely head-over-heels for him. We were preparing for a test in personal finance a few days ago, so the teacher organized a class jeopardy game. My crush asked me to be on his team because he knew I did well in personal finance too and I was overwhelmed with joy for the rest of the day. I always fantasize about being his girlfriend and spending every moment I can in his company.
The issue is that I'm AMAB (assigned male at birth) and will be in the closet as a trans woman until college. I'd ask him out, but the chances that he's gay seem nill. If I asked him out and he wasn't gay (the most likely option), he'd probably start feeling really uncomfortable around me and we wouldn't even be able to be friends, let alone date. Do any of you have advice? Thank you!!

Thanks for stopping by!
I’m closing on my first AirBnB property next Friday. The current owner has been operating it since March of last year and provided all financials including complete overhead such as utilities, cleaning, Ring subscription, etc. The money is right and the property is conveniently located next door to my father. This was all my happenstance and let me even further to believe this was somewhat fate. The only reason the owner is selling is that she now lives 40 minutes away and no longer works in this town. She has found another property in her new hometown and is already in the middle of purchasing it as well. I know her son very well and he was my real estate agent on my primary home.
I’m trying to think of ways to better serve my guests and make their overall experience above expectations. The previous owner converted her father’s house after his passing and many of items of the home were his. I’m buying turn key with all possessions as well.
I’m planning on buying all new towels that match (far more than enough to help if I need to just take the dirty with me in a hurry), the same with sheets.
I intend on going through the entire kitchen to determine what else might be needed as far too often when I stay in a short term rental I’m left with a pile of junk to work with.
I’ve also stayed at properties that had little goodie baskets ready with bags of popcorn, a few snacks, etc.
I’m also planning on putting in a desk with a three monitor remote work station with a dock so that I can work from there on days I need to clean in the week and not interrupt my day outside of normal hours while still adding that additional amenity for the property overall.
I’m planning on having quiet a bit of extra things on hand for babies since I have a two year old and can easily take the playpen down there now that it’s not in use and just other things that might help parents on the road.
I’m looking for any and all advice on what you’ve tried and learned works or doesn’t and why. Heck, any information is better than nothing. I’m excited about this new adventure and am looking forward to it.
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.14 03:17 Naifamar Pc help

Hi guys, I have a problem here. PC 2 weeks ago refused to turn on, then after unplugging/ plugging PSU, playing around it turned on.
5 days ago it did not turn on also, but things started getting worse: I took components out of case, assembled and nothing happened when I turned it on, after I removed RAM its magically started (I think this is coincidence)
Now, I turn on only 1 times a day or less, always turns on after SECOND press on “power” button.
I have tested : PSU with multimeter (24PIN) - all voltage normal, paperclip test went good, always powering on, when I connect to MOBO - no
I have changed CMOS battery : did not help.
Started MOBO with screwdriver : did not help
Tried removing several components : did not help.
My main suspicion is PSU (althought it seems like MOBO getting proper voltage, maybe its the problem idk) and MOBO itself, since I dint know how to test it.
I want to take it to repair shop for diagnostics as I have exhausted all my option.
Maybe you had similar symptops and can help me if I need to replace PSU or MOBO
Again it sometimes magically powering on after I press it but its rare

2024.05.14 03:16 Evening-Room-9619 [NJ] Fair Housing Act and Lease Break Due To Mental Disability Trigger

I got a new job and I'm expected to be within commuting distance of a NYC. Like many people, I found a rental in NJ across the river. It's in one of those typical high rises that are managed by some corporation. I have a long history of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and complex PTSD (C-PTSD). This has been documented numerous times in the past. Right after moving, I got attacked no too far from the building, and that terrorized me. My employer accepted letting me work remotely for a while and so I went back to stay with family in CT in the meantime until I can get this figured out. I got a police report for the attack, and I sought mental health services. Unfortunately, I'm still required to come back to the office on occasion, and particularly, if it is on short notice, my best option is that building. I've been trying to work on it, but once I'm back, I remember the incident, triggering my GAD and C-PTSD and I'm absolutely terrified.
I tried to call multiple lawyers in the entire state, but most of them just frankly told me they didn't really have awareness of the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and frankly most of them admitted representing landlords primarily.
The property management absolutely refuses to consider any early lease termination options or any amicable buy-out options. They said the best they can suggest is paying up the remainder of the lease to move out. That's a bit much. They won't look into any other options. In fact, they even said they will not take the keys back, which very much surprised me.
I've continued to pay rent so far and did not breach any lease term except for abandoning the unit, which the Landlord specified to purposely decided not to enforce. They clearly seem to only care for my money no matter what, and the matter of my well-being is of no importance. They're giving me non-sense about being advised about the safety in the area, but I mentioned it's not entirely different matter because I did not say I'm trying to break the lease for safety issues. I'm trying to break the lease because the attack triggered my mental disability, and due to work requirements, I will need to seek local housing elsewhere in order to reasonably fulfill my work obligations.
I would like to recall that the FHA has nothing to do with the circumstances being within the control of the Landlord whatsoever. Pointers:

What reasonable accommodations can I seek under the Fair Housing Act? (Remember, the FHA has nothing to do with the Landlord's ability to control the circumstances.)
Can the Landlord actually refuse to take the keys back from me?
My husband signed the lease as well just to make it easier to visit due to the property's overly strict policies on guests. Can he break the lease to care for me in our family home out of state?
1. Pointer: https://www.civillawselfhelpcenter.org/self-help/evictions-housing/more-topics/205-tenants-right-to-terminate-lease-due-to-disability-or-death
The Landlord supposedly has a responsibility to re-rent the unit if I move out. Is there a chance that they might purposely not re-rent the unit in bad faith?
If I post ads to help them find a suitable tenant replacement, can they still refuse to consider that offer as part of a potential lease breaking mitigation?
Realistically, what are my options here?

Please let me know if there are any important details I am missing. If I need to cross-post somewhere, please let me know. Also, please understand that I have called multiple lawyers. Please do not downvote me in case I am ignoring something basic here. I am humbly asking for advice, legal or otherwise. I'm also seriously impaired by this incident and it has been impacting my cognitive capabilities, frankly. I am trying to be as rational and logical as I can be given the circumstances. Thank you.

2024.05.14 03:11 OttoVonBlastoid Nature Of A Homeless Musician: Special Thanks/Announcements

Hello all! Otto here. And, as you all now know. NoaHM has finally come to an end. It's been a hell of a ride that I'll never forget. But before I move on to thanking specific people and telling you all what's in store, I wanted to be a bit mushy for a minute if you'll indulge me...

When I first heard of NoP, I was in the middle of the night shift that I'm still working to this day. I had a single ear bud in, which was TECHNICALLY against the rules, and still is but fuck 'em. And to pass the time, I listened to stories. Either Mr. Creeps' Creepypasta compilations or, in this case, Agro Squirrel's Tales From Outer SPACE series. And eventually, I heard the name, The Nature Of Predators...and it all went downhill from there as you all can well imagine.

Jokes aside, I fell in love with the story and universe and decided to check out the community. And soon, I found the very first fic I ever read on here, "My Floridian Arxur Daughter". From that point on, I was hooked. I read "Arxur Nursery", "The New Terran Refugee", "Feathers Of Deceit", "Lost In Found", "Recipe For Disaster", "Playing By Ear", and so, SO many more. The sheer amount of creativity on display was amazing. And so...I decided to try my hand at it.

I'd already written a short creepypasta, as well as a small five-part miniseries based off of one of my friends DnD campaigns, so I had a LITTLE experience, but I still hadn't taken a single writing course or knew...anything about what I was doing, so I decided to try something small. (That worked out well...)

I was in the middle of rereading "Floridian Arxur Daughter" for...maybe the sixth time when a particular scene stuck out to me. Something about it...made something click in my head. After evacuating young Chalta from the house, her big bother Carlos and his girlfriend Salisek decide to take her out on a drive, and while their driving, Carlos mentions his ability to sing, and after both Chalta and Salisek both ask for a demonstration, he sings a beautiful rendition of "Send Me A Peach" from Over The Garden Wall.

It was a touching scene, and hearing the song from Chalta's point of view clicked with me. It was by this point that I'd also discovered "Playing By Ear" by u/VeryUnluckyDice, which was essentially this "listening to music through the perspective of someone else's mind" idea made manifest. And that's where it all began. I made a post, proposing the premise of my story, and while I didn't get a LOT of feedback, most of the feedback I got was positive. And a few days later, "Nature Of A Homeless Musician: Prologue" was born, in all of its overly edgy glory. And well...you know the rest from there...

I never could have imagined just how big this story would get. It was NEVER supposed to grow this much, touch so many people, inspire so many others to make stuff themselves. Sure, I hoped that it might, but I never thought it would! But now...here we are...

I...can't put into words, how thankful I am to each and every single one of you, who gave my little idea a chance. It means more to me then I could ever describe. Ever since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to make my living by making things! At first, I thought that just meant being a Youtuber, like every cringy middle schooler does, but now...I think I get it... I've always wanted to be able to make things, and for those things to make OTHER people happy. Make them laugh, make them cry, make them smile, and make their days just a little bit brighter.

I've...long since given up that old dream... I just didn't think it was possible, not for me anyways. But you all proved me wrong. Every comment, every meme, every bit of art you guys make...proves me wrong. When I got my first bit of fanart, I cried at my monitor. Because for the first time in so long that I can't even remember, I was happy. I was so, so happy, because it genuinely felt like this dream that I've had since I was a kid was finally possible. Someone discovered something I made, and enjoyed it enough, loved it enough, got invested enough, to make something themselves just to show me and everyone else just how much they loved it.... And it made me happy, so, so damn happy.

So thank you. Thank you all so much for everything you do. Thank you for reading, commenting, replying, suggesting, joking, laughing, creating, and expressing with me. It means more than you'll ever know. And even if I don't end up pursuing writing after this, my life will never be the same, thanks to all of you.

If you're reading this, right here, right now, YOU, yes YOU... Thank you...for everything you do. And even if you don't think so, I think you're one of the most amazing people in this ass-backwards galaxy of ours. Thank you.

Now then, on to specific thanks:

u/Bow-tied_Engineer: You were literally the first person to tell me that this fic was a good idea. If you hadn't been there in the comments, I might not have gone through with it. And even since then, you've still been an absolute chad. We might not have the same taste in romance sub-plots, but I'll always respect you and your takes. Thank you, for giving me the confidence to give this a try.

u/CaptainChristopher02: The man himself. Your fic, "My Floridian Arxur Daughter" as well as "My Brazilian Arxur Nursery" were, as stated before, the very first fic I read on the sub. And your work was the first tiny spark that slowly became NoaHM. I've said it multiple times, and I'll say it again, if there was no "Arxur Daughter", there would be no "Homeless Musician". When I first started writing, I didn't even think I'd ever even meet you, but the fact that I have, and that you've joined my own little community of music and Tohba memes means the world to me.

u/VeryUnluckyDice: Reading through "Playing By Ear" for the first time was an experience I'll never forget. It was so interesting and different to almost everything else on the sub at the time except "Venlil Metal". You've done so much to inspire me and my work and even now, you're still an absolute chad and someone this community just wouldn't be the same without. I'm really looking forward to the day when our two stories really do cross. It'll be a grand sonata of sound the likes of which this sub has never seen, I just know it!

u/JulianSkies: Ever since you first started commenting on my chapters, you have been an absolutely ENDLESS source of positivity, helpful advice, information on the setting, proofreading, and all around good vibes. I always look forward to seeing what you have to say on the most recent post, and I hope you decide to stick around for whatever comes next. Thank you.

u/xskipy10: Good lord, where to even begin with you? Before, when I mentioned that first bit of fanart that made me cry, that was YOUR artwork. And that one picture, of Michael and the rest of the main cast has had such an enormous impact on not just me, but the rest of the sub as a whole. It was that one picture that gave me hope that the dream I've had since I was a kid was possible. It was your artwork of Tohba that, TO THIS DAY, Dovah is still using to award people who beat him to the precious title of "SPEED". I mean it when I say you are an absolute treasure, not just to me and my story, but to the entire NoP community.

u/OmegaOmnimon02: Before there was GuyWhoExists, there was Omega, the fastest memer in The West. You were the architect of the origianl "Rejoice! Tohba Be Upon Ye" meme, and it has since been used to this day as a form of mutual celebration for all. You've been one of my avid supporters for a long time now, and seeing another of your shitposts in the Discord never fails to brighten my day. Thank you for all that you do.

u/DOVAHCREED12: I swear, if you aren't SPEED when this post drops, I'm gonna be so disappointed. Jokes aside, I have loved and appreciated every single Venbig hug I have ever received from you. Back when I first started writing this, the "Official Venbig Seal Of Approval" was this vaunted, holy, symbol that a lowly peasant such as myself would never be able to earn. And then one appeared in my comments and it felt like freaking Christmas. Thank you so much for giving my story a chance.

u/Ben_Elohim_2020: I'll never get over just how hilarious our first meeting was. What was meant to be a quick one-to-two chapter long side trip with some shady dude in an alley completely spiraled into a giant, five-part, spat with the actual Space Mafia known as The Family. While the Twilight Valley Arc was divisive for a lot of people reading, I hope you know I had a MASSIVE amount of fun writing it with you, and I can't wait to see where you're future projects lead.

Papyroo: (Sorry, I can't remember your new Reddit name) Along with Omega, I've always looked forward to seeing what you have to say when it comes to my fic. And the impact you've had on my story can't be overstated. The Ficnapping you did is the reason that Tohba now has his blue "Tiwfish" plushie. And the events of your addition to my canon will continue to be referenced and fondly looked back on by my characters for a long time to come.

u/Spacer_Catgirl4969: I remember a time when you were still SpacerNEKO. You were always one of my most avid commenters way back when, and I always appreciated your kind words. And I still can't express how cool it was that you actually made a pixel art music video for Dohkar. It still holds up, even now. You and Guywhoexists should TOTALLY work on a project together. With your combined pixel art skills, who knows what's possible?!

u/Mini-Tonk: Well, if it isn't the Rat boi, himself. You have never once faltered in your efforts to not only support my work, but also protect Tohba from the shadows. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and you canonically making ME a character in your fic is still hilarious and heartwarming. Thank you for everything you do.

u/Guywhoexists2812: While you are one of the newest members of our little NoaHM family, that hasn't stopped you from being one of the most active and creative folks we have to offer. The sheer amount of memes and pixel art you've created is downright INSPIRATIONAL. Along with Skipy, whenever someone comes up with a cute idea for art, I know you'll find some way to pull through. Keep creating, King. You are no mere "Guy". You are a KING who exists!

And of course, u/SpacePaladin15 for creating this awesome universe to begin with, without whom, none of use would be here right now.

There are two other names missing on this list, but that's mostly because I'm currently working on a project with them and I don't want to spoil anything...yet.

And speaking of future projects! ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!!!!

It's been one hell of a wild ride, hasn't it? But I tell you this: THE RIDE AIN'T OVER YET!!!!! But...it will be slowing down for a while...

After working on this story for so long, (especially that triple upload. GOD, what was I thinking?!) I am in dire need of rest. So, for now, I will be going on about a month-long hiatus from posting, except for a small occasion here and there. I'll still be active in the community, especially on Discord, but you won't get any big story updates for a while.

Does this mean that I'm done and the story's over? No.

This was but the first arc in the tale of Michael Ruiz Andrews and his family. There will INDEED be MOAR!!!

More music! More hijinks! More action! More romance! More drama! More touching family moments! And, of COURSE, MORE TOHBA!!!!

There will be MOAR!!! Just not yet. My Hiatus will officially start tomorrow after a belated NoaHM Mother's Day Special. I also have a Father's Day Special planned for next month as well. But other than the occasional announcement post, you won't be getting anything story-related out of me until my break is over and I'm ready to unveil the next project I and three other creators have been working on. I won't say anything more on the project, but I will say to keep an eye out...

"But Otto!", I hear you ask.

"If there won't be any more big story updates, how will I get my fix of Baby-roo induced dopamine?! My brain requires more Tohba and Ven-floof memes to give me the goody good chemicals!!!"

Well my friend, I have just the solution for you!!! A SHAMELESS SELF-PLUG!!!

Most of you may already know, but Nature Of A Homeless Musician has its OWN DISCORD SERVER!!!!!!

We've got MEMES, STORY IDEAS, FOOD SO FULL OF LOVE THAT MAMA-ROO HERSELF COULD'VE MADE IT!

We got fanart, gaming chats, and we even plan the occasional movie night!

As well, as soon as this post goes live, I'll be adding a new channel specifically for Q&A and Trivia!
For Example:

Did you know that NoaHM was originally meant to only be ten chapters long?

Did you know Trilly and Dailo were created entirely on accident?

Did you know that the events of the FINALE have been remade, reorganized, and rewritten at LEAST four times?

Did you know...THAT TOHBA WAS BASED OFF A REAL PERSON?!

All of these things are true! And if you want to learn more about the making of this series, direct from my brain, the come on in and ask away!

All I ask in return is that you follow the rules I've laid out a generally not be a jerk. We're here to have fun and be wholesome, so let's keep it that way. I hope to see you there!

https://discord.gg/YSysvHHx

And now, lastly, here's nearly EVERY single meme bit of fanart I've received:

And once again, from the bottom of my heart, with all the love I can muster, thank you.

2024.05.14 03:10 Impossible-Range-505 CONFUSED ON Dental Appointment today

( I POSTED EARLIER BUT NOT SURE I DID IT RIGHT, TRYING Again) SOOOO let me start off with, the reason I'm confused is bc it doesn't make any sense. SO A Month ago I had a Retreat RC with a tooth on top ( endo did the retreat) then I had a tooth pulled that already had a root canal/crown just last week ( last Wednesday), it was also a back top tooth#2, I have been doing salt Walter rinses amd finished my Antibiotics on Saturday. ( it was my 3rd round of Abx my 1st round Amixocillin 7 days was 2 weeks before my Retreat bc my dentist said it may have been a sinus infection bc xrays showed NO INFECTION, went to Endo he started the Retreat with a drain and put Medicine in and sealed it up put me on my (2nd Round Antibiotics ) Keflex for 7 days, then 3 weeks later went back to finish up Retreat root canal, everything went awesome, but he let me know that my back top tooth #2 which had crown/rootcanal was loose and had a crack he could see on the x ray but I had already had a bad taste coming from it which I had already told my dentist, and he said it looked fine and it was probably from the one that was being retreated which he had said that it didn't have any infection ( it was infected based on what endo said, but My Dentist informed me that Endos can see more bc of their equipment, although my Dentist done a xRay that went all away around my head and he had stated he could see everything) so I had called my Dentist to make an appointment to have crown took off to look at it, but then with rge Money adding up so quickly I said let's pull it bc Endo said by what he saw it probably needed pulled and he was correct, it was decayed pretty bad, it's been less than a week it was pulled, but before they pulled it 4 days before I was put on a (3rd round of Abx Amoxicillin 9 days, [it was for 10 days but dropped my bottle and 3 of my pills got soaked] ) went had #2 extracted so far so good, THEN THIS MORNING HAPPENS!!!! Getting to my question, so sorry.
So I brushed my teeth and I have been noticing that bottom tooth # 30 which has also had a root canal with a crown just a couple years ago by my Dentist, has been sensitive and been told that is normal and since I have had the top extraction just 5 days ago I have noticed it is sore maybe from the pressure of biting on guaze trying to get bleeding to stop from the extraction ( I was bleeding for 8 Hrs pretty heavy)I'm not sure, ANYWAY then I noticed a hard Bump that was the color of my skin it was just a Hard bump with NO white on it like a pimple, but it was hard so I called my Dentist they said to come in at 12PM only 3 hrs away, so I was in the car before going in and I pulled the side of my mouth to look at it and pulled tight and then I tasted a salty taste,, ( the pressure from pulling the skin to look at it must have popped it) didn't see anything but BUMP GOT SMALLER, as I'm walking into my Dentist, x ray was done with a visual exam , ( no tapping of teeth or cold/hot sensitivity test just visual and xRay) was glaced at for maybe 10 seconds when I showed him where a very tiny bump remained (bc my dumb butt had to look at it and mess with it before he looked at it, so it popped amd went down quickly)and he gets up takes gloves off and said no sign of infection , so I asked what it was and the taste I explained to him once again, he said IDK I see nothing, he then says maybe a Mucosa Gland but not sure bc nothing is there, I asked if he could see where it was leaking, he said no signs of infection, I remind him I was told the same when I did have infection when he sentt me to the endo. So I felt embarrassed and so stupid and felt so small bc I felt he just didn't believe me bc his tone, didn't even explain anything to me, so abt 6 hrs later it's coming back slowly, amd I called my detist office again to let them know the bump is returning amd sometimes I taste a salty taste,the office staff called me back amd said he said he could put me on anorher round of antibiotics( 4th round) just in case it is an infection or gum boil, or it may just be a mucosa cyst ( i thought cyst didnt drain?)I reminded them I had just finished a 9 day ABX ( my 3rd round) not even 48 hrs ago, then I told her I wanted to ask him questions bc I never had a " Abcess/ Gum Boil/Mucosa Cyst, but he literally was in that room with me MAYBE 1.5 MINUTES, she asked me what would I need to know, I then changed the subject amd asked what should I do going foward, Their Amswer since I'm" denying" My 4th round of Antibiotics within a month and a half was to see if it keeps coming back, maybe wait a month or so, touch base if any significant change and go from there. I asked if maybe I should go to an oral surgeon for them to glance at it. I was told no , I couldn't get a referral let's just wait and see, I explained to them if IF it's an infection I would take my 4th round of Antibiotics but he said it wasn't an infection this morning , amd I asked twice as he was walking out if he was sure it wasn't t an infection, he stated NO It isn't, then while walking down the hall I asked him one more time if he was sure it wasn't an infection he said NO, if it was am abcess it would show up on xray. He then stated real loud NOTHING NOTHING Is there and IF something Appears call us, I felt so small. But I did call, and I still have NO ANSWERS after paying $110.00 today for NOTHING!!!! I also have Crohns so being on alot of Antibiotics cam really mess me up, amd ir it's truly not an infection you don't need an Antibiotic, or so I thought. So I said and explained all that, to ask, is it possible to have a "Gum boil" without any infection? The hard Bump is not right under tooth #30, it's more over we're #29 ( but #29 is gone just empty space) so it's way down on gums Like where your inside cheeks go down and meet ur gums, I hope I'm explaining that right, anyway again it's not right up under tooth #30 I would say if #29 was there it would be under that tooth all the way down past gums where gums meets ur cheeks. ( when I'm home I may be able to get a picture to explain better) but again #30 has been sore and hurting off and on since extraction again I thought it was from me bitting down on that guaze all those hrs, I had alot of pressure on them, but before that I had explained to them that it was sensitive to sweets, amd some colds was told it was normal, so again here are my questions!!
What could it be if it isn't infection?
Should I get a 2nd opinion?
If it's an abcess , are abcess hard to leak out, does it take alot to pop am abcess? ( again there was no white pimple looking bump or any blood or pus that leaked out it was just clear n salty, amd the color of bump was the color of my gums)?
How fast do abcess fill back up if it's an infection amd would it hurt and could u see where it leaked or popped fluid from? Would it look like a sore after it pops? ( mine hasn't filled all the way up as it was this morning but i can tell it's coming back, it's slow.
Should I take another 4th round of Antibiotics without knowing it's a true infection?
I have spent $2,800 in the past Month and half, and I'm so scared I'm gonna have to lose another tooth bc I can't afford another Retreat, and I'm scared my dentist doesn't really care or maybe just doesn't know, but being told to wait it out, if it's am abcess wouldn't that be dangerous? I hope I explained amd to anyone that cares to explain anything to me abt what you think my Dentist is thinking please explain to me bc I don't even know. All I l ow to do, is wait and see what happens. And was told to try to wait atleast a month. THANKS and GOD BLESS!!!!
