2024.05.14 22:13 Thatsidechara_ter Fort Ko'Var Briefing (Northern Mountains Front)
 | [This post will function as the primary info-dump and planning post for the Siege of Fort Ko'Var. Let's get to it!] submitted by Thatsidechara_ter to war_for_Gryllus [link] [comments] Colenel Jethro Arvin looked around the Taronian 8th Regimental Headquarters at Waycross Road, surveying the plethora of attendees both junior and senior. It was a hell of a crowd; he hoped he didn't dissapoint. First, there was of course his own senior staff, all in physical attendence now that Major Quoke had rejoined them. Also present in-person was Lieutenant Lenore McPherson, Intelligence Officer of the Praetorian 27th, and the Valyrran Major Zero, who arrived with Major Quoke and now stood silently off to the opposite side of the room from the Taronians. There were also a plethora of attendees tuning in via hololith; Colonel Braithwaite and General Redlina herself plus a number of other Valyrran officers, presumably representing other elements to be allocated to the siege. There was also the lone small figure of a woman in a Minthelian jumpsuit; Arvin recognized her as the young aide who had guided him when he received orders from General Redlina to detain the Minthelian Lieutenant Sophy. It felt so long ago now. The final hololith attendee, however, Arvin did not recognize: he wore a long white coat adorned with various bits of webbing and equipment over knee-high leather boots, and a simple steel helmet with a gold Aquila on it atop his head. The man introduced himself as Colonel Lilzton, commander of Task Force Liberation, the loyalist PDF remnants to the north of the fort. Arvin hoped he would get to meet him in person some time. But now, everyone was assembled, and it was time for Colonel Arvin to begin his briefing. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending this briefing. We have a lot to get through, so I'll begin without delay..." INTRODUCTION: Covering an surface area of about 12.5 square kilometers, Fort Ko'Var, previously known as "Saint's Gate", serves as the primary bastion of resistance for the entirety of the northern mountains. It is carved directly out of the rock in many places, and as it's Imperial name suggests, it controls all passage along the north-south mountain road. Both the town of Kan'Shae and the base of operations for Task Force Liberation are nominally cut off to the north of the fort; for these reasons, the position must be captured if we are to secure victory in this region. THE TERRAIN: The geography surrounding Fort Ko'Var only makes it's capture more important. To the east and southeast lays an expanse of high peaks, jagged cliffs, and all manner of other hazardous terrain, such that getting a cohesive fighting force over it is all but impossible. To the east and northeast lies a river which continues uninterrupted to Westbridge Lake. It is believed to have been artificially-made by the fortress's builders to achieve 2 goals: 1) to prevent the bypassing of the fort by any kind of vehicular foe simply by driving around it, and 2) to supply the defenders with a ready source of clean drinking water, as the river ends in a large pool enclosed within the fortress itself. Thus, strategically-speaking, Fort Ko'Var is a natural chokepoint which provides the only way past these obstacles, both natural and man-made. Tactically-speaking, the ground surrounding the fort is wide open, providing little cover except for a handfull of foothills that could be used as staging grounds and observation posts. THE ROAD: The road which makes Fort Ko'Var so vital runs directly through the mountain in a tunnel just to the west of the bulk of the defenses; this tunnel is capped on both ends by reinforced blast doors rated to withstand at least some punishment from anything we have at our disposal, and is furthermore enclosed by 2 of the 3 defensive tiers of the fort. We can also assume the tunnel is rigged to blow at the defenders' discretion. Should this happen, the only road connection will be through the heart of the fortress itself, as there are connections on either side of the tunnel, winding up and then down an extensive series of switchback roads that would expose any vehicle to near-endless plunging fire from above. Needless to say, simply ignoring the fort and it's occupants is not an option if we wish to use this highway. THE TIERS: Fort Ko'Var is comprised of 3 main defensive tiers, each partitioned by 3 heavily-fortified walls. all of these are complete with bunkers, observation towers, and massive defensive hardpoints that make them formidable obstacles for any attacker, but each also has its quirks and weaknesses that might be exploited. The outer wall is comparable to a hive city's curtain wall, at least in construction if not in sheer thickness. It rises above the 1st, lowest defensive tier on a gentle slope; this tier is largely home to Fort Ko'Var's rank and file barracks, commodities and maintenence facilities. The inner wall is less a true wall, and more of a permacrete-reinforced cliff that rings around the 2nd Defensive Tier. The only way up without climbing is a handful of personnel entrances and the 2 roadways, one north and one south. This tier houses the primary vehicle and equipment storage facilities, additional support infrastructure, the secondary artillery batteries, the commoner prison facilities, as well several passageways leading to the road tunnel and beyond. Lastly, the Final Citadel is not a wall at all, but is instead a massive, adamantine-sheathed, armored plateau that sits at the very top of Fort Ko'Var, complete with countless weapons portholes, pillboxes, a partial mote, and a miniature voidshield enveloping it. Inside this last bastion is the fortress's command center, essential supplies storage, the VIP prison facilities, the majority of the fort's munitions storage capacity, and on top of it is positioned a ring of anti-aircraft emplacements as well as Fort Ko'Var's pride and joy: her primary artillery batteries. THE ARTILLERY: Aside from the countless other weapons systems protecting the fort, her main method of reaching out and touching her foes with extreme prejudice is, was, and always has been her artillery. These systems come in batteries of 4 weapons each, and every gun is housed in it's own 360-degree turreted bunker. For air cover, 8 Imperial-era Hydra Flak Batteries still play a key role in protecting the fortress, but these have been further supplemented by 2 batteries of T'au-made SAM launchers. These long-range munitions are deadly to any pilot who strays anywhere near the fort's airspace, and should not be tested lightly. The Hydra batteries, meanwhile, can also be turned towards anti-personnel duties easily enough, as well. Onto the ground-to-ground weapon systems, the local auxilia garrison will of course deploy light artillery such as mortars, but for precise, in-close bombardments that can pack real punch, Fort Ko'Var relies on it's 5 batteries of Bombast Field Cannons; I'm sure you're all familiar with that platform by now. But for more long-range needs, Fort Ko'Var relies on its primary armament of 4 batteries of "Earthquaker" Cannons, as the locals call them. These weapons are T'au-modified, extended-range variants of the venerable Earthshaker Cannon, and rebel reports have clocked it's maximum range with a standard powder charge at about 22 kilometers, increasing to 30 when supercharged. They pack the same firepower as an Earthshaker and, from what reports we have, roughly the same accuracy margins, as well. Put together, all of these weapons give Fort Ko'Var a potent array of long-range fires, with which it can engage both land and air targets with ease. However, there are some hints that at least 1 or 2 of the above-mentioned systems do not have the neccesary ammunition to operate optimally. The SAMs, in particular, most likely do not have a large number of missile reloads; thus, the xenos gunners may be less willing to fire valuable missiles at something they don't perceive as a threat. Pilots, take note. OTHER INFO: Based on rebel reports, Fort Ko'Var is normally home to about 20,000 personnel, with 15,000 in garrison and 5,000 patrolling the mountains at any given time. However, based again on the rebel intel we have, this force has a far-larger ratio of Fire Warriors to Auxilia, something like 2 T'au for every 3 Auxilia. From this we can infer that the T'au value this installation just as much as we do, and are invested in defending it. Unfortunately I can't get much more detailed than that; with the recent retreat of T'au troops all across the north, it could be that Fort Ko'Var is operating on a skeleton crew as manpower is transferred to other sectors, or it could be that it has been heavily reinforced by units retreating there. Therefore, be on your guard and ready to respond to any possible threat, battlesuits, tanks, superheavies, you get the idea. OTHER DETAILS: There are a few more things of note that I must make mention of. First off, back to that water pool. It is located right at the easternmost point of the fort in the 1st Defensive Tier; this might be a tactical weakness in their ability to get fresh water if they were pushed back to the upper tiers, but the estern tip of the Citadel also hangs out past the 2nd Tier, over this pool and extends downward [OOC: think something like the top tier Minas Tirith], enclosing a portion of the water for the final defensive tier's personal usage. Second, there is the main landing area. While a few smaller landing pads are scattered around the 2nd and 3rd Tiers, Fort Ko'Var's primary landing area is on the northern side of the 1st Tier, both bulging outwards and making a massive indent in the 2nd tier and the Citadel. Originally being designed for Tetrarch Heavy landers, this area is big enough to land a whole squadron of Mantas simultaneously. Lastly, there is the escape tunnel. As shown by Imperial records, Fort Ko'Var possesses a single passageway buried deep in the mountain, leading to a secret exit somewhere west or south of the fort. However, I am informed that our new-found local allies may hold the answer to it's location, in which case I believe immediate efforts should be made to cut off this last avenure for reinforcement or evacuation. THE PLAN: Fort Ko'Var is a stronge defensive position, but not impregnable if approached in the correct manner. Our basic battle plan is simple enough: Task Force Liberation attack from the north, while the Taronian 8th, Praetorian 27th, and elements of the Valyrran 1st attack from the south. We crush the xenos and the traitors between us, and meet in the middle. But that is, of course, more of an outline than an actual plan, and so I'd like to offer my own thoughts on the tactics to be employed. Fort Ko'Var's 3 defensive Tiers are very different from eachother, and thus will each require a different approach. The 1st Tier has the longest perimeter to coved, and also the least defenses; therefore, we should make our first strike fast and hard, overunning this first obstacle with haste and superior firepower. This has the added benefit of showing the enemy what we are capable of; with the traitor human Auxilia's morale breaking all across Gryllus, we may yet open up further weakpoints by forcing them to accept their inevitable defeat. The 2nd tier is... somewhat different. Carved from the rocky cliffs themselves, it will not be possible to simply breach it as you would a traditional wall, but this particular facet opens up... another avenue of attack which myself and Major Baxton have been discussing for some time. It is risky, and as of yet we are not completely sure it is pheasible, but I believe we should consider the option of tunneling into the second tier rather assaulting up it. The Final Citadel, quite frankly, will not be possible to capture quickly, not without a significant commitment of Astartes or other specialist forces. Therefore, unless one of the above is aquired and as much as it pains me to admit it, this final stage, at least, will most likely come to a plain and simple siege. I would recommend attempts be made to negotiate the remaining garrison's surrender and attempt to avoid needlessly wasting Guardsmen lives, but I do not think that this will bear much fruit considering the likelihood of the remaining troops by this stage being predominantly T'au. "That concludes my briefing on Fort Ko'Var; I hope to see all of you again for our inevitable victory toast in that fortress's command center." Colonel Arvin finished up. "I would also like to give my personal thanks to Colonel Lilzton and TF Liberation, as well Captains Pekala and Vanian's Rebel Companies for providing much of this information." "Now, with all of that said, I assume you all have questions or comments to make. The floor is now open..." |
2024.05.14 22:12 iamaslag2 TLOU rp request
Hey! I am 20F and I am looking for a TLOU rp, based around the first game. I am literate, I usually write 2-6 paragraphs, depending on how much energy I have and what point in the story we are, but I'm pretty flexible. I'm not the fastest at responds but I try to get one every day or two, but obviously if I have some spare time and we are both online they'll be a bit faster.
I'm mainly looking for someone to play Joel. I have a few plot ideas. We could just continue the first story and rp them in Jackson. Another plot I'm interested in is if the Fireflies didn't try to kill Ellie and instead do tests to make a cure. I'm also down for modern AUs. Maybe Ellie is a runaway, and her and Joel meet some way? I'm down to brainstorm more in pm.
Comment or message me if your down!

2024.05.14 22:12 jaydalogar Spoke with my ex 10 years after our breakup, this is how it went. What to do next? 32M 31F
I was with my first love for 3 and a bit years, we met in late 2010 before we broke up 10 years ago in early 2014. We were young and in our early 20s back then, things just fizzled out.
I've always thought about her but eventually we went our separate ways, she got in to a relationship with another guy after me for a few years but eventually he ended up cheating on her, this was around 2017.
After her breakup in 2017 I confessed my feelings for her but we didn't go anywhere with it as she was still healing so I told her I need to cut her off at the point because I told her I was struggling to be just friends with her, to which she said that she was heartbroken that's it come to us parting ways. But we wished each other well and went our separate ways. I was really at my lowest at that point but have come a really long way since in terms of having a successful career and have improved a lot financially and mentally.
At the start of 2019, she did add me on social media but she didn't say anything to me so a few days later I ended up deleting her because I realised I still wasn't over her, I regretted deleting her afterwards.
At the end of 2019 I heard that she was engaged, she ended up getting married but then I heard she got divorced around a year and a half ago. A few monthds ago I found out that the reason for her divorce was because her husband cheated on her and was abusive towards her. They got divorced around early 2022.
As for me I did get in to another relationship with someone else but I was also cheated on so I have been single for a few years now, I have been evolving in my career and proud of how far I've come and have recently started a new chapter in my career. I considered getting in touch with her a few months ago but I noticed that she had cut off a lot of people from her social media so I wasnt too sure how she'd react to me adding her, I thought she'd reject me seen as she's cutting off a lot of people.
So around 3 months ago I took the plunge seen as I had nothing to lose and sent her a request on instagram, and she has accepted and also followed me back. She's been viewing my stories and a month ago I posted a life quote on my story which she liked, I haven't spoke to her yet. I posted a few pictures of myself which she hasn't liked but A few weeks ago I posted a quote on my story that said 'be the reason for someone's pain to turn into a smile', she liked that quote and also another one that I posted last week. It was my birthday a few days ago and she liked a birthday story that I posted on instagram. I'm limiting the amount of posts that I like of hers because I don't want to seem too forward.
I'm assuming she is single but not entirely sure. I added her 3 months ago but she deleted me, I was confused because she only liked one of my stories few days prior. I would have liked to see if there was future for us but don't think she's interested now, i have messaged her saying 'Hi, hope your well. I probably should have said something a long time ago but I didn't, my fault. I've been praying for you, today I realise I've been deleted anyways I hope your keeping happy and healthy'. She replied saying 'Hey I'm good thanks hope you are too, that is kind of you, I didn't expect this kind of message'.
I didn't really know what to say back to her, I still don't understand why she deleted me even though days before she was showing an interest in my stories before and now she's deleted me. I have just replied saying 'that's good. Sorry for catching you off guard with it, I wanted to reach out to you earlier. I'm glad your doing well though' and now she has replied back saying 'can I ask why?' I replied back saying 'It's been on my mind for a while to get back in touch with you, I didn't add you for no reason. But we don't need to if it's not something your comfortable with'. She has now sent a long message as follows: 'You don’t make me feel uncomfortable. I have thought about you over the years and wished you well.
I removed you because you have my ex and his family on your instagram and I removed everyone who has any contact with them. You will have heard that I was married there for a short period of time but it was hell and now I’m out of it I don’t want them knowing anything about my life, so I removed everyone who has any link with them. I didn’t realise till that day that you did. It was nothing to do with you personally.' .
Im not actually friends with her ex husband as he is just someone that lives nearby to me and we have never spoken so I have now replied with this: 'I'm sorry that you had to go through that, I hope your okay and I pray god brings you ease. I wouldn't exactly say I have anything to do with them personally though, only thing I know about them is that they're from my area too. It makes sense now and it's understandable why you did that.'
She has replied back again saying 'I'm great, God is the best of planners and it was the best thing for me. Even so, I removed everyone who had us both so sorry about that' and to which I have replied 'That's fair enough, I'm glad to hear your doing well though and that your at peace now. That's what matters most'. She had now asked 'how have you been, what's new with you?' I have just replied saying 'I'm not too bad thanks, life's changed a lot since we last spoke so there's quite a lot that's new lol'. That was few nights ago, and after that we were speaking generally about the holiday that I'm currently on and what to do as she has been here before too and she also asked how long I'm there for, it was in general a short and civilised conversation.
She ended the conversation 6 nights ago by liking my last message, I don't know if she plans to message me again as she did take a few hours to reply between each message, What are the chances that she'll message me even if we don't follow each other on instagram anymore. I am slightly anxious that she won't message me after this due to her deleting me because her ex is on my Instagram. Was thinking of just giving her space for a few more days, then deleting her ex and requesting her back in around a weeks time.

2024.05.14 22:10 United-Many7967 Why does my 23M year old bf not want me 20F to study?
Hey! I need some advice. My boyfriend who is 23 and I 20 have been together for 5 years now we definitely had our ups and downs but we had worked through it. Last year he has opened up his own business and it’s been going good so far. I recently wanted to start studying at uni but he wouldn’t let me because he feels like other guys will try and talk to me so he is very against it. I would be fine with not studying but it’s just that we don’t live together and he doesn’t even help me pay for anything or buy me anything not that he should but it’s why I want to study so I can get a degree and get a job so I’ll be able to pay for things myself. He is always like when his things are sorted he will take care of me and give me everything I want but I don’t know. I really wanted to move in with him because obviously when you love someone you want to to be with them together but that is definitely not his priority, he doesn’t want to move in with me but instead buy like three houses and put them on rent and make passive money. He feels like he can make more money if we don’t move in together but what is the point then? I feel like I’ll be wasting my years away for someone who doesn’t even want to live with me. Can someone give me any advice I don’t know what to do.

Together, let's weave a tale of romance that will leave us breathless and longing for more.
Some scenarios ideas:
1. Enigmatic Neighbors: In a quaint suburban neighborhood, a man in his forties moves in next door to a young woman in her twenties. Despite their age difference, there's an undeniable spark between them from the moment they meet. He's intrigued by her youthful energy and vibrant spirit, while she's drawn to his maturity and charm. However, beneath her confident facade lies a history of trauma from her teenage years, which has left her guarded and hesitant to open up to others. As they navigate the complexities of neighborly interactions, he becomes determined to unravel the layers of her past and show her that she deserves love and happiness. Could their budding romance heal old wounds and ignite a passion that transcends time and circumstance?
2. Rekindled Friendship: After fifteen long years of separation, two childhood best friends are reunited by chance. Despite the passage of time, their bond remains as strong as ever, and they quickly fall back into their familiar rhythm of laughter and shared memories. They've always shared a love for adventure and exploration, often dreaming of traveling the world together. In her teenage years, she was a tomboy, always eager to climb trees and explore hidden caves, but now she's transformed into a woman who exudes femininity and curves that captivate his attention. As they embark on new adventures and discover the depths of their connection, they find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never expected. Will they dare to take the leap from friendship to something more, or will fear of losing what they already have hold them back from true happiness?
3. Unexpected Romance: In a chance encounter, a self-conscious virgin in his twenties crosses paths with an older woman who exudes confidence and allure.

As they navigate the complexities of desire and intimacy, they form a unique bond based on trust, acceptance, and a shared desire for exploration. Can their unconventional connection withstand the judgment of society and the doubts that plague their own minds?
4. Unconventional Desires: Amidst the tapestry of human relationships, an unconventional bond forms between two individuals drawn together by the primal instinct of nurturing and intimacy. In a world where taboos reign supreme, they find solace and fulfillment in the act of adult nursing or adult breastfeeding. Perhaps one is a nurturing caregiver seeking to provide comfort and sustenance, while the other is a willing recipient yearning for the intimate connection it brings. As they explore the depths of their desires and confront societal norms head-on, they discover a profound sense of belonging and acceptance in each other's arms. Will they dare to defy convention and embrace the uncharted territory of their unconventional love?

As a 44-year-old from Europe, I enjoy the dynamic of playing against a feminine character with nice curves. It may sound superficial, but it's my preference, and I know I won't fully enjoy the roleplay if she does not meet those criteria. Additionally, please note that all characters depicted in this roleplay are 18 years of age or older. Let's embark on a journey of love and discovery together, crafting a story where our characters' desires intertwine and their destinies collide in the most unexpected of ways.

Despite their age difference, there's an undeniable spark between them from the moment they meet. He's intrigued by her youthful energy and vibrant spirit, while she's drawn to his maturity and charm. However, beneath her confident facade lies a history of trauma from her teenage years, which has left her guarded and hesitant to open up to others. As they navigate the complexities of neighborly interactions, he becomes determined to unravel the layers of her past and show her that she deserves love and happiness. Could their budding romance heal old wounds and ignite a passion that transcends time and circumstance?
2. Rekindled Friendship: After fifteen long years of separation, two childhood best friends are reunited by chance. Despite the passage of time, their bond remains as strong as ever, and they quickly fall back into their familiar rhythm of laughter and shared memories. They've always shared a love for adventure and exploration, often dreaming of traveling the world together. In her teenage years, she was a tomboy, always eager to climb trees and explore hidden caves, but now she's transformed into a woman who exudes femininity and curves that captivate his attention. As they embark on new adventures and discover the depths of their connection, they find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never expected. Will they dare to take the leap from friendship to something more, or will fear of losing what they already have hold them back from true happiness?
3. Unexpected Romance: In a chance encounter, a self-conscious virgin in his twenties crosses paths with an older woman who exudes confidence and allure. Initially drawn to her out of a sense of admiration and curiosity, he finds himself captivated by her warmth and understanding. She, in turn, is touched by his vulnerability and innocence, seeing in him a reflection of her own past insecurities. As they navigate the complexities of desire and intimacy, they form a unique bond based on trust, acceptance, and a shared desire for exploration. Can their unconventional connection withstand the judgment of society and the doubts that plague their own minds?
4. Unconventional Desires: Amidst the tapestry of human relationships, an unconventional bond forms between two individuals drawn together by the primal instinct of nurturing and intimacy. In a world where taboos reign supreme, they find solace and fulfillment in the act of adult nursing or adult breastfeeding. Perhaps one is a nurturing caregiver seeking to provide comfort and sustenance, while the other is a willing recipient yearning for the intimate connection it brings. As they explore the depths of their desires and confront societal norms head-on, they discover a profound sense of belonging and acceptance in each other's arms. Will they dare to defy convention and embrace the uncharted territory of their unconventional love?
If you're interested in joining me on Discord for this roleplay adventure, know that I prefer to write in the first person point of view to fully immerse myself in the character's emotions and experiences. As a 44-year-old from Europe, I enjoy the dynamic of playing against a feminine character with nice curves. It may sound superficial, but it's my preference, and I know I won't fully enjoy the roleplay if she does not meet those criteria. Additionally, please note that all characters depicted in this roleplay are 18 years of age or older. Let's embark on a journey of love and discovery together, crafting a story where our characters' desires intertwine and their destinies collide in the most unexpected of ways.
2024.05.14 22:10 AreUaSoldierOrDancer Thoughts on Boom Guns, Shadow Boi and Glitter Boy
First: Why no Boom gun equipped tanks or giant robots? Always seemed odd to me.
2nd: are Glitter Boy Borgs a thing? Becasue I can definitely see Traix and Free Quebec at least trying that out. Also See the Super heavy borgs from Russia
3rd my main point:
I love Shadow boi https://www.deviantart.com/chuckwalton/art/Rifts-Shadow-Boy-Power-Armor-319549584 fixes all the issues with the Glitter boi in return for a much smaller price tag especially for armour and weapon replacement. The normal glitter boi is great at ONE VERY SPECIFIC THING and that’s it. outside that niche it becomes a huge liability. Not that I don’t like the concept of a literal walking artillery gun and the heroic mystique, thats cool.
However the downsides are huge and I understand that’s intentional for game balance and Roleplay opportunities.
it’s armor and Boom Gun is literally not made anymore (depending on when your playing) outside Free Quebec and Triax (good luck getting any from them unless you join them of course) so your utterly screwed if you suffer a lot of damage to either of the two things that make a glitter boy what it is. Also the Admittedly very tough laser reflective armour doesn’t count for much when fighting most things as there so many alternate weapon types and magic etc.
Then there are the severe limitations of the one and ONLy weapon it packs. not being able to move and having to stabilize. Not having a good speed even when not firing really doesn’t help that. Lack of any secondary weapons is a really bad design oversight like not even a small laser or something like that Is frankly silly. Even real life SPGs usually have a pintle HMG for AA and local defence. Given the usual combat ranges your probably facing in rifts Ruins and overgrowth. your also not getting to use the HUGE range advantage of the boom gun anywhere near often enough to make it a big deal.
The ultimate issue is The glitter boi was designed to fight in large combined arms formations that would have other support units cover those weaknesses. But obviously after the rifts that stopped being a thing For quite a while.
The Shadow Boi or as I call it the PRACTICAL BOI unlike the Glitter Boy it has MUCH more options and versatility outside of being a simple giant walking gun That does one single thing very well and is little more than a giant shiny paperweight if you take out its big gun. frankly in the rifts earth environment this thing works much better. It’s mobile, can fight well at any range that isn’t literally ARTILLERY and in Rifts earth good luck finding a nice open field that lets you exploit the Boom Guns full range.
The only real downside for the shadow boy is that it’s much less tough then the Glitter Boy. But cosidering how much more likely the glitter is to get HIT just standing there in the first place it’s a worthy trade off.

2024.05.14 22:10 BossElectrical8931 Possibilities for sauron/annatar after teaser trailer reveals.
So here I want to talk about what the teaser trailer did and didn't reveal regarding sauron/annatar. First thing revealed was that during the fall of eregion Charlie vickers shows basically looking like halbrand except for the long blonde hair and the pointy ears. Second thing revealed was that when sauron/annatar first enters eregion he does so in a way that makes him appear angelic in nature making it probable but not certain that he will present himself as a servant of the valar. Here is the main thing the teaser didn't reveal....it didn't show a clear shot of annatar in eregion before its fall. All we got was basically a silhouette bathed in angelic light.
So now I will list some possibilities for how it will be handled.
First possibility is that there will indeed be a different actor who plays annatar in eregion before it is sacked. He will have blonde hair and elf ears but won't be played by Charlie vickers. As for Charlie vickers physical appearance during the sack of eregion, well that could be a merging of the appearance of annatar in eregion during the forging of seven and nine rings with the appearance of halbrand. And that is basically the look sauron goes for during the sack of eregion...halbrand face and annatar ears and hair. At the end of the day this theory assumes that the showrunners are still attempting to throw people off in terms of who plays annatar at eregion during the forging of the seven and the nine. You have to admit that it's weird that the showrunners put so much effort to throw people off the scent of annatar by putting out false rumours about gavi Singh and calum lynch and then they just go ahead and reveal in the teaser trailer that Charlie vickers is annatar during the forging of the rest of the rings.
Another possibility is that Charlie vickers plays annatar in season 2 in eregion during the forging of the remaining rings but his face is constantly obscured by the angelic light and therefore the only thing celebrimbor can see is the silhouette including the long blonde hair and the pointy ears.
Another possibility is that annatar during the forging of the seven and the nine is indeed as we see him during the fall of eregion. And the whole point of him having long elvish hair and pointy ears despite keeping the halbrand face is that he wants to show celebrimbor that he is no mere man and is instead an angelic being who has been sent by the valar. This scenario is contingent on celebrimbor never being told that halbrand was indeed sauron. It is also contingent on elrond and Galadriel not being in eregion while he is convincing celebrimbor to forge more rings.
Final theory on this issue for now is that Charlie vickers plays annatar during the forging of the remaining rings. He has blonde hair and pointy ears. You can see his face but they will use make up and cgi to make his face pretty much unrecognisable. They then stop altering the look of his face during the fall of eregion so that celebrimbor can see he has been duped.
In all the theories I have presented here I am assuming that annatar will present himself as an angelic emissary of the valar during the forging of the remaining rings.
Let me be clear these are theories. I don't pretend that they are spoilers or leaks. Also the fact that I came up with these theories doesn't mean that I like them nor does it mean that I dislike them. They are just possibilities I am putting out there. If you have your own theories about how this will be portrayed by all means I encourage you to post them here.

2024.05.14 22:10 The_OG_Chad A medical / game overhaul to maximize depth/immersion with mostly current code and mechanics. A compromise to bridge “hardcores” + “casuals” and not killing expensive medical ships.
It’s a little scattered doing it on my phone. I’ll get home and clean it up. But I want peoples input. I really think this would work and it’s totally realistic. I think CIG needs some guidance and the medical changes offer the perfect moment to add these features in the game.
I have been a developer for years and I can see CIG trying balance what’s realistic and what they promised. Every startup I was with came to a point where they realized their proposals were far too aggressive, and the higher ups would not even listen to ideas unless they were easy to implement.
So, I’ve been trying to come up with ideas that take minimal effort for maximum gains. These are fairly simple, but will add depth or will lay the groundwork for easy future development.
I think this is the perfect topic for my first idea. The medical system is tricky, but so important. Right now, the medical system is boring and doesn’t add much to the game and with a few tweaks it could add 25% more and be a major part imo while feeling more immersive and satisfying both parties. We need to look to other amazing games like Eve online and cyberpunk imo.
The hard-core fans want investment and death to cost. Now that I am older and have a family, I understand how hard it is to balance that in time to play Now that I am older and have a family, I understand how hard it is to balance that and time to play. It’s really hard to get your average gamer to want to invest 30 minutes to simply respawn.
So in my opinion, we need a system that…
The beauty of this is while it sounds like a lot and would add 25-50% more careers, economys, gameplay and strategy’s from a gameplay perspective. Its actually not much at all from a development point of view. It would reuse all of the current systems now, and add a few skills like scanning / hacking and weapons like EMP, Darts to humans. Generally, this is how it would work.
T5 clone is a meat bag with a 4 hour life used as a spare tire. It’s the base level. Operated similar to when you’re drunk because The damage from the cryo. You can do stuff, but you are very limited. They can be carried around in 1 SCU containers or special lockers in big ships for dangerous work like reactor repairs etc.
T4 clone is a meatbag the same we are inhabiting right now IRL. Basically this is exactly like you turning off the game hud in photo mode. These cannot be cold stored and reused. No HUD or endgame information input at all outside of your Moby glass watch.
T3 clone is the first of the implants. It can take one implant. Combat might allow thermal vision or the local map and radar and crosshair. Exploration might have the ability to bookmark or see things on your HUD that you scanned from your ship. Conversation might add elements to charisma and talking people into doing things, getting better prices on goods, or hearing rumors about opportunities, etc. Covert allow you to scan people and check their inventory and run checks on who they are, what crimes they have committed, etc.
Basically it’s a stripped down version of the hud that’s active all the time even without helmets. It has to work in tandem with your mobi. You have to select one element.
T2 clone has upgraded reflexes, can run longer, survive more dmg and has the complete HUD suite. It has the bandwidth and upgrades to support 1 implant and 1 physical modification. Everything CIG has been adding can be added to the HUD but you have to switch between exploration, combat, conversation, covert etc. 1 physiological mod or weapon. Like a brain hacking chip that can open ship doors, and emp that shut down all electronics in a 20 m radius for 15 seconds or a drone or fiber optics camera. Then there are all the illegal modifications like hidden blades, Multi launchers with everything from neurotoxin to EMP darts.
T1 clone is very costly and made for combat and for solo explorers who need complete autonomy. 20% more hp, and basically 20% better everything. It has the complete HUD with the ability to Connect to the data stream of two ships in your party. If your buddys ship detect an enemy ship coming in it would pop up in your actual vision as a big red square with information. You would have the ability to zoom without a helmet on and have limited scanning just like your ships function on everything.
It could 2 implants. 1 legal and 1 illegal implant. Emp, Hacker etc
It also has two physical modifications. Blades, darts etc
Also the tier 2 and 1 are the only clones that are not harmed using heavy or power armor. The others are slowly harmed by s by the rapid and jarring servos, etc. so they are all time limited.
Imagine how amazing this would make the universe in general. You would have ripper docs implanting stolen, or military implants. Corpses would now be valuable if they had upgraded organs for implants. People would become targets just for their implants.
If you killed an assassin coming after you, you could take his cool tools.
Sometimes corpses could be worth as much as a ship. You could actually ransom back bodies.
You could have a repo men coming to collect the implants. Organ traders and human traffickers.
But it would also make T1 and 2 ships completely necessary in combat because they were the only ones who could rec clone military units.
Best of all. All of this code is already there. All of the heads up display and all these cool features they’ve been adding Would be the implants themselves.
The game the Way it is it doesn’t make sense that a Moby glass can produce all of this data. It makes the game more immersive as well.
It doesn’t have to be over the top like cyberpunk. But we almost have brain implants now and everything is going wireless, you really think in the future they’re gonna be wearing a wristwatch? Everything will be brain implant and wetware.
With these easy changes, we solve our medical problems and add a ton of depth along with the ability to add as much depth as we want.
All you would need is to create the UI for this, but the game already has a lot of that with its biological scanners. All the balancing could happen by biologically if you’re using implants, etc.
Jump clones would cost a lot of money to make, and healthcare in real life is one of the most expensive things. But just like the hospital doesn’t make you pay your bill the moment you’re out of surgery, we need to spread the cost to a later time.
The time the player needs to respawn is usually after they have already planned and loaded up and executed, but didn’t succeed. This is time where casual players set aside their block of playable hours. (when the kids are asleep and wife is watching something etc) So by making it too costly at that moment, ( 30 minutes to an hour, getting geared up and in ship flying back) your odds are they will just quit, which is not engaging for other players and your odds of a major war or event go down drastically. What’s good for the game and what was so successful in Eve was the fights after the opening.
Instead the front loading all the time investment, Charge 5-25k for the biomaterial. spread the cost of the death to a later time and let them pay off their debt when they log back in.
We also want to make the smaller tier 3 ships necessary while not killing the t1 and 2 beds.

So in my opinion, we need a system that…
- Makes death inconvenient and costly but with several ways to pay the “bill”, not only costly at that moment so the player decides quitting is easier.
- Makes the game far more immersive and makes the game deeper, not shallower. In real life in the future, in the future, medical would be a vast portion of warfare and finance and exploration and exploitation. Not just a glorified HP counter.
- Makes all medical ships useful and relevant. Cannot have a shallow system where one ship is clearly the best.
- Makes healthcare and biology affect all the other parts of the game…. It is our bodies and minds after all. In the future, the wealthy will modify their bodies, just like their ships.
- Uses a lot of these modules that are currently window dressing, but have amazing application. Things like blood pressure and reflex times and damage reduction and bio scanners and the HUD and incorporates it to a tiered clone system.

2024.05.14 22:09 Head-Resort-3951 Because I need to put this somewhere.
Dear M,
Unlike J, I was not only interested in sex. Honestly that was probably last in my mind, ok maybe not LAST but certainly not first.
I know compliments make you uncomfortable and I’m just going to apologize in advance for that. I’m not “love bombing” you either.
I have already talked about your kindness. I don’t think I need to talk more about that.
You’re just all around really interesting. I like hearing about how you interpret your job and your role there. I admire how seriously you take it all and how methodical you are. I like that you are so self confident and self assured, and comfortable with yourself. You have interesting hobbies and accomplishments. I like that you text so formally and in complete sentences. I probably drive you nuts because I don’t. I love that service and giving back means something important to you and that you take it so seriously. I love that you are so reliable. I love that you love your sister. And your cats. And your dad even if he makes you nuts. I spend a lot of time wondering how your mind works and what it’s like in there. I can guarantee you there are not many people who could convince me to work on a 1000 piece puzzle in silence for as long as we did. And I enjoyed every second. I also love that you will talk tone with me as long as I want and even ask me about pump and rpm. I love brainstorming with you and picking out tracks and reviewing new releases together. You always always inspire me to work harder. It can be my coaching, my form, or pushing myself to do something I might be worried or scared about doing (looking at you surfer squats).
Yes, I find you attractive. Your smile can wind me in a way no cardio peak can (hahahaha sorry I couldn’t resist). I get a little distracted if you make eye contact when we’re talking because your eyes are so blue and so sincere. When you pick on me during tone my heart skips a beat and I usually completely forget what we’re doing. I think it’s adorable when you come in on Sunday morning and your voice is so deep because you’re still half asleep. I worry about you when you look tired and seem off. I don’t think you need someone to take care of you. But as someone who loves to take care of people I wish you wanted me to. And you smell better than anyone has a right to smell. Even sweaty. It’s not fair. I know you’re self conscious about how much you sweat but it’s not that much and you never smell bad.
But all of that? I noticed AFTER I got to know you, the tiny part of the real you I have seen. I never looked at you and first saw someone I wanted to sleep with. I saw someone who I thought of as a friend. The attraction came after. So that’s why I am working so very hard to let go of this. I did hear what you told me the other night. You don’t see the point in dating. You’re not interested in kids or marriage and maybe not even sex or a companionship. I could sit here all day and try to change your mind. I don’t want any more kids and my kids don’t need another parent. I never want to get married or maybe even live with someone again. Friendship is always going to trump sex for me. But that would be incredibly disrespectful to you and honestly very hurtful to me. I can’t change your mind. So I have to try to let this go.
Love, A

I like that you are so self confident and self assured, and comfortable with yourself. You have interesting hobbies and accomplishments. I like that you text so formally and in complete sentences. I probably drive you nuts because I don’t. I love that service and giving back means something important to you and that you take it so seriously. I love that you are so reliable. I love that you love your sister. And your cats. And your dad even if he makes you nuts. I spend a lot of time wondering how your mind works and what it’s like in there. I can guarantee you there are not many people who could convince me to work on a 1000 piece puzzle in silence for as long as we did. And I enjoyed every second. I also love that you will talk tone with me as long as I want and even ask me about pump and rpm. I love brainstorming with you and picking out tracks and reviewing new releases together. You always always inspire me to work harder. It can be my coaching, my form, or pushing myself to do something I might be worried or scared about doing (looking at you surfer squats).
Yes, I find you attractive. Your smile can wind me in a way no cardio peak can (hahahaha sorry I couldn’t resist). I get a little distracted if you make eye contact when we’re talking because your eyes are so blue and so sincere. When you pick on me during tone my heart skips a beat and I usually completely forget what we’re doing. I think it’s adorable when you come in on Sunday morning and your voice is so deep because you’re still half asleep. I worry about you when you look tired and seem off. I don’t think you need someone to take care of you. But as someone who loves to take care of people I wish you wanted me to. And you smell better than anyone has a right to smell. Even sweaty. It’s not fair. I know you’re self conscious about how much you sweat but it’s not that much and you never smell bad.
But all of that? I noticed AFTER I got to know you, the tiny part of the real you I have seen. I never looked at you and first saw someone I wanted to sleep with. I saw someone who I thought of as a friend. The attraction came after. So that’s why I am working so very hard to let go of this. I did hear what you told me the other night. You don’t see the point in dating. You’re not interested in kids or marriage and maybe not even sex or a companionship. I could sit here all day and try to change your mind. I don’t want any more kids and my kids don’t need another parent. I never want to get married or maybe even live with someone again. Friendship is always going to trump sex for me. But that would be incredibly disrespectful to you and honestly very hurtful to me. I can’t change your mind. So I have to try to let this go.
Love, A

I’ve asked on this subreddit before about how I can make my own server but nothing seems to work for me and my friend and so I’m to the point to where I think I might just buy a server. My question is if it’s worth buying or if I should keep trying to make my own.

2024.05.14 22:09 Forsaken-Ad9160 Lack of sex/intimacy (venting)
Burner account. I'm 37M married to 35F. Our marriage, overall, is great. We have one child (preschooler) and she is a fantastic mother. We have a lot of overlapping interests, and legitimately frequently talk for hours and hours.
Which brings me to the hang up: sex. It's always been a difficult area of our marriage (11 years). We have mismatched libidos, with me being the higher drive partner. We actually went through a period that I would call long term sexlessness - maybe about 5-6 times total, over the course of a couple of years (during pregnancy and after the birth of our child). Eventually I brought up my concerns and I was heard, but we've fallen into a pattern: we don't have sex for a while, I bring it up, we have a fight, but then resolve the fight and things get better for a few weeks, followed by another lull. Wash, rinse, repeat.
My wife claims that this is also an area that she wants to improve on, but it just seems like there are an endless stream of reasons why it can't happen. Work stress, child raising stress, slept poorly and as a result are too tired, having a high anxiety day, etc. And let me just say: in a vacuum each and every one of these excuses are valid, and I truly want to be understanding. I've tried to do my part to remove as many obstacles as possible - even childcare duties, solo taking our child to as many out of the house activities as possible on the weekend to give her space, aiming for an even division of household chores, taking on a greater share of the cooking, handling a majority of the outside yardwork, etc.
In our discussions around the topic about a year ago, we mutually set a target goal of once per week. Which, in my mind, doesn't seem crazy or unrealistic. To my wife's credit, things have gotten *better* and if I had to put a rough estimate, I would say we have averaged once per every 3 weeks in the past year. But then the issue of perspective comes up - in her mind it's an improvement and she gets upset if I bring up feeling unsatisfied, and in my mind we're falling way short of the goal we both mutually set and her satisfaction with where we are at makes me feel like she could take or leave the whole thing.
The topic makes me miserable. I've reached a point where I truly don't believe things will ever improve. I hate being the only one who ever brings up the topic, and that anytime I do we go through the "fight/reconcile/improve for a short time/lull" cycle.
I know the answer from a lot of folks is going to be "go to couples therapy." And I don't disagree. I feel myself going slowly insane (and feeling bad for feeling that way) just literally have no one IRL I can express this to.

2024.05.14 22:08 ThrowRa_Stark07 UPDATE - My (20F) aunt (48F) said I can only go live with my grandad if I come clean to him about my sexuality and relationship, do I tell him or do I stay with her? How would I tell him?
I've posted this last year and some things happened which made me quite proud and I'd like to share how things went. So recap and then update:
So... When I was little, I lived with my mom and stepdad, things were great and we were very happy. Then my mom passed when I was 7y, so I moved with my father and stepmom, things were complicated. Currently, I have no contact with him (he's not a good man nor a good dad), and I live with my aunt (since 2018) and her husband (he came along in 2019).
Me and my aunt had an amazing relationship, she was my favourite aunt and all that. However, things started to go wrong when I started living with her, I made the mistake of answering that yes, I wanted to be treated like her daughter along with her 2 sons (one my age and the other 3 years younger). I had a desperate "need" for a mothefather. She became a kind of "maunt" (mother+aunt), and her husband a "stepdad"... Oh how do I regret this
Well, she has a favourite son, the oldest. He's lazy, arrogant, disrespectful, a typical golden boy who got spoiled his whole life and now he doesn't give a damn about anything other than himself.
For being the other woman in the house, she constantly pushes house chores to me, instead of the boys (subconsciously, i believe), pretty much only asks me about things, where her sons are, if the dogs were fed, if the boys cleaned well whatever room they were supposed to, stuff like that, and she's also constantly very, very rude to me (at the point of her husband arguing with her about it). And I got this whole syndrome of everything being my responsibility and anxiety when it comes to her, which became extremely exhausting over the years.
I came out to her about my bissexuality about 4 years ago, i thought she would take it well. She didn't. She masks her disapproval, but she clearly doesn't like it. I was really let down, I genuinely thought she would be supportive and everything we expect, but she first got confused, then annoyed and has said some very hurtful thing over the years. Currently I have a gf (she's 22 years old), we've been dating for over a year. They don't like each other very much, my gf doesn't like her because of all the things she does to me. And my aunt doesn't care about my gf at all because... well, she a girl.
Ok, that's the context. Now here's what happened.
My aunt send some kind of agressive messages over something silly, and that caused my anxiety on fire for the gazillionth time, only that time I had enough. I called my other aunt (by consideration, she's married to my grandad) and asked for help (she knows everything that goes on), if i could move in with them, she said yes. I then replied my aunt with a text saying i had enough and would move in with my grandad. She got upset and said (among other things) that "i had her blessing to leave, even though i didn't ask for it". She called my grandma (we are very close), and my grandma sent me some awful audios of how disappointed she was, how I made my aunt sad, of what would people think, that i used to be such a sweet girl and now this, of how loving is a choice and i chose not to love my aunt, stuff like that. Aunt and her husband went to dinner with my grandad that night without my presence, and told them we had an amazing relationship, that she didn't knew what happened, that my problem was I couldn't take a "no" for an answer, etc.
Two days later, we sat down to talk, she told me to start, I said all I wanted. She then started saying how that kind of thing should not have been adressed through text (which I agree, but I had to text or I'd freak out), that she was harder on me than the boys because (in another words) the world was rough and she loved me the most.
And then her husband also spoke about how he understands both sides and blablabla, and said that i could go to my grandad, but that they felt like i should understand that i would only go because THEY allowed, if they didn't wanted, i would not go, no matter what my grandparents or aunt (grandad's wife) said. He basically wanted to state their power position.
(Since my mother's death, my whole family on her side feel responsible for me, so i see all of them in the same way. None of them are my mom and dad, they are in the same "level" to me and have the same "right"... Him saying that made me burn inside, like they're entitled to me, I don't belong to them or anyone. They're my aunt and "uncle", that's about it, they think they have something on me that they... Don't)
And then my aunt said that I could go, as long as I told my grandad about my sexuality and girlfriend. Now... He's kind of old fashioned and i'm scared he'll reject me... We have an amazing relationship, I have lunch with them every wednesday, and I'm the closest grandkid he has (the others aren't so invested). So I don't know if I tell him the truth and manage to leave (depending on his reaction) or if I don't risk it and stay in the toxic enviroment i'm in.
UPDATE - 14/05/2024
Hello! So, things got much worse before they got better. Let's give them names so the story telling will be easier, let's call my girlfriend Bea, my aunt Leah, her husband James and my "aunt" (my grandad's wife) Rachel.
I basically swallowed my anger because I couldn't bring mysef to speak to my grandad about my sexuality, my grandparents are the most important people in my life as they've always been there for me and I was terrified to be disliked by him. That was until december.
Early december I was leaving for work and before I left, I tried to "notify" my aunt that Bea would be spending Christmas and New Years with me and my siblings (note: my siblings had been looking forward to her being there, specially my brother and my SIL (Luke and Lyla), they made it a question that she'd go. I have 3 paternal siblings, so there's NO relation between them and my aunt Leah. We'd be staying in a city 3 hours away from mine at my brother and SIL's house, every year we do this). She immediately said "you know I don't like this", I said "yes", she then said "good morning" and I left for college.
The next morning, I was eating before going to work and Leah started talking about it and we started a conversation that developed into a fight. She said things like how dare I "notify" her, how that's not how things work and that it would not happen because THEY (she and James) don't feel confortable with this, how THEY think Luke wouldn't like this because "no one likes to have people over for a week" (he and Lyla were super pumped for Bea to go), how THEY don't know my girlfriend enough (come on, we had been dating for over a year already), how THEY wouldn't like me going with her to a stranger's house (in complete disregard to my point of view, it's my freaking brother, whom they met a couple times btw, not a stranger. But to them, the only meaninful point of view was theirs). She had even called my brother to basically "check my story", like?? She also said that we we're only teenagers (seriously, 22 and 20) , and I said "no, she isn't and neither am I!", she said she didn't say Bea was, I then said "and neither am I", she said I was, because I didn't act like and adult, then I got mad and talked about how I do literally everything around the house, always walk the dogs even when I get home tired at 10PM, even though they got there at 7PM, I help with groceries purchase, pay the water bill, clean the house, do the chores her boys lack to do, and when I'm not home, I'm either at work or college, but when she disagrees about something, she just puts me back in the "teenager box". And in the end, she said that my raising was not like this, this made me laugh in anger inside, she's been with me for 5 years, I'm 20 lol.
So that was it, I left for work and got a text from her, apologizing for being rough, saying that she loved me and wanted it to work, that they wanted to talk to me when I got home. I replied saying the same.
Later that day when we were all home, we gathered in the living room, I was literally against the wall and it intimidated me deeply. James started saying how much they loved me and wanted to see me happy, as they want that for all their children (aunt Leah has 2 boys, my cousins, and James has 3 girls). I then talked and expressed how I was feeling, then Leah started talking and basically said in a nicer tone the same things she said earlier, plus how they want me to be happy and want things to work for me, but they think it's too soon, they believe it's not the right time, they they, and therefore, despite being against what they want, I could take Bea, but only in ONE of the two holidays, which I could choose. I was in a bit of a shock (you see, me and Bea had bought the bus tickets a while earlier), had no support, against the wall, I was feeling purely defeated and tired, I only said "Christmas then...", she then said we would sleep in separate rooms and would not go on the 22th after work because "she had already allowed an extra night by allowing her to stay there until the 25th". I stayed in silence, they asked if there was anything I'd like to add, I said no. It wasn't a conversation, in no moment did they actually listened and considered me, they had their minds set way before we sat to talk. I went to my room and rolled all night in pure anxiety. This was thursday
Friday I was a wreck and went to Bea's house to check on her (she was sick that week) and to talk to her about what happened. She noticed something was off, I told her, she got mad and sad, we cried, etc. I went home feeling awful, my anxiety had been 100% all day long and I was in a really bad place and feeling deeply frustrated.
Saturday I woke up worse and decided that I had enough and was not having that anymore. I went outside and called grandad, talked about how I wasn't feeling well and asked what did he think about me leaving home, he said that their doors were always open and that I could just tell my aunt that "I was going to live with my grandad and that was it". I reframed the question asking what he though about me leaving to live alone, he then got worried and said that he didn't think that was necessary, that I had them and didn't need to do that. He then asked me to come over and talk to him and aunt Rachel. I accepted and told aunt Leah I'd sleep at grandad's.
I got there and ate a bit because I didn't want them extra worried, although I felt like throwing up at every bite. Everyone went to sleep and so did I. I woke up a bit later feeling worst, that's when I started to throw up, there was barely anything in my stomach and all I could do was throw up.
The next morning I was better and had already told aunt Rachel about what had happened, she found it absurd how things went (she had met Bea a while back and they clicked very well) and was upset about the things aunt Leah said. I decided to talk to grandad, I couldn't disappear with the subject again, specially now that he was worried sick about me.
So... I sat on the couch and told him what was happening, explained everything, told him that I'm like his stepson's MIL (she's married to a woman. It was the easiest way I found to introduce the topic), told him everything. He asked what I wanted him to do about it, I said that I just wanted him to still love me the same and remain normal with me, that I am still the same person and have always been this way, he just didn't knew about it, but that it changes nothing about me. Aunt Rachel then joined us and asked what he was thinking about it (she knows everything and is amazing to me), he said he wasn't pleased, but that it was my life and he had no say in it and that I should do what's right for me, said that if I wasn't gonna change, then neither would he. But basically, he got much more worried about my mental health than my sexuality, he said that the doors were still open and always would be for me, that he thought I needed a home and thinks they can offer me that. Aunt Rachel said that they wouldn't be obsessive after me, demanding to know every step I take and bossing everything like Leah did, that I have my graduation, I work, make my own money, am responsible, have my own life and am not a child, I'm a 20 year old adult and they would treat me as such.
So that was it. I went back "home" muchhh more confident and waited until nightfall because everyone was having a good time and I didn't want to spoil that. I realized aunt Leah and James were awake and went to talk to them, and that, my friends, is when hell went loose.
I started by saying I talked to my grandad about Bea and my sexuality, Leah asked how it went and I said it was great. Then I said they could talk to him (since they wanted to "decide" with him about my going), she said ok and asked when I wanted to go, I said that it could be in the same week since I was on vacation from college, she frowned, stood firmly and said "you know this won't change our decision about the holidays, right?" then it went boom, I said I didn't agree with them and that it wasn't right for them to dictate about such things. Told them their values and beliefs don't have to be mine, Leah asked "WHY NOT?", then I replied "because I have my own!".
Told them they were controlling and that made their kids lie to them, that since they liked to compare raisings (they criticized Bea's mom's raising because she gives her kids freedom to live their lives and fully trusts), then fine, I went on to say how Bea and her mom have an amazing relationship, full of love and trust, how Bea turned up great, works hard, just made it to psicology at university, helps immensely at home, and so has her sister. As for theirs? They raised their kids poorly, they are overbearing and that makes their kids not trusting them and lying a lot because of this necessity of them to control everything. I stated that the raising they gave their children was not my own, that I had multiple raisings and that no, they didn't "raise" me, I'm 20 and they've been with me for 5 years. Said that was clear, just look at the difference between me and her boys (I won't delve into this bit because it's not relevant, but the difference is nitid).
They said I couldn't take a no for an answer and that was my dad's fault, I said they didn't know what they were talking about, I know how it actually went whilst they made a story in their heads and believe it's the truth, since I knew how my dad used to tell my family one thing and do another.
They (again) said they wouldn't treat me like an adult because I did nothing to behave like one, I said that they didn't treat me as I deserved and they would always put me in the "teenager box" whenever I acted differently to what they thought was right (but I was adult enough to lend James almost 1k without Leah's knoledge lol).
She obviously tried to blame Bea, saying she was putting things in my head and that the last conversation was fine and now I was throwing a fit, I said that I said nothing else then because I felt cornered and realized it wasn't a conversation, it was them simulating one only to tell me what they were going to all along.
I told them they didn't know Bea because they didn't want to and I wasn't confortable bringing her as it was an enviroment unwelcoming to her, she then asked if i would go another year like this until I "felt confortable", I said yes, if that's what it took, that I didn't really need to introduce anyone if I didn't felt comfortable to it.
She once demanded to go meet Bea, after throwing a fit at my BIRTHDAY because Bea planned a day for me and my MIL wanted to make me lunch and they weren't invited, it was super uncomfortable. My aunt described this day as uncomfortable, in this argument I said "and about that day you guys met Bea and her mom? It was uncomfortable? OF COURSE it was, I TOLD you it would be! I told you that was barging in and no one wanted it!". Which Leah said that no, that wasn't the uncomfortable part, the uncomfortable was how Bea was "daring her, being all over me and kissing me in front of her, that she had to be respected!".... Lol, the being "all over me" was me shaking from the anxiety and Bea holding me to keep me in my feet, the "kissing" was ONE greeting kiss. And Bea did nothing "daring" towards Leah, believe me, if she had, aunt Leah would definitely know lol.
At the end, they asked if I was taking Bea, I said, yes, Leah said no, since she called my brother and told him how "things would go down" (amazes me everytime I remember this, she wanted to dictate how the holidays would go IN SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE). Lol, my brother was just texting me saying how Bea could go spend the whole holiday and we'd just say she left after Christmas. So it wasn't a very good argument on Leah's end. I said it was my business and I was sorry, but it was MY brother, MY family, MY relationship, MY life, and it wasn't up for them to dictate on it, they shouldn't feel comfortable or uncomfortable since it had NOTHING to do with them, and that my family who mattered in this were not only comfortable but very excited for Bea's presence.
I told them I knew I wasn't wrong since grandad and aunt Rachel agreed with me, so they could go ahead and talk to them if they wanted to. They ended up showing me their tumb and I left for my room.
Aunt Leah left to grandad's house in like, 5 minutes, cried to him and all. She got back, went in my room and in an ironic tone, said "sorry, I know I'm not your mother, stay with your raisings, I'm just glad and relieved my father wasn't as ok as you thought (her saying this seriously hurt me), he accepted for reasons ans beliefs he has, so go ahead and pack your bags this week, you're free to go. Sorry for the flaws, I was trying to get it right, be careful when you take that sticker off, don't ruin the painting." aaand she left.
The next day, grandad came and we took 90% of my stuff and I started officially living with him and aunt Rachel. Christmas was a bit awkward (my maternal family does this early Christmas so everyone's free on the 24th), but I was glooming feeling like the weight of the world had left my shoulders.
So... I went with Bea to spend the holidays with my family, my siblings, my SIL's parents and even my 1 year old nephew absolutely adored Bea, they now ask about her even before asking about me lol. My paternal grandmother loved her and was amazing, told my aunt (her daughter) that Bea was adorable and loving. It was amazing and I cannot imagine 2023 Christmas and New Year without Bea with us, she added sooo much.
Recently we've been to Luke's and Lyla's at Easter and made Easter eggs together, watched movies, went out, went to a family gathering where Bea, my uncles, cousins and grandmother (who was really happy to see her since Bea couldn't go to her birthday because she had to work) all got along really well.
We see each other frequently, living with grandad and aunt Rachel has been amazing, I'm finally gaining weight! MANY people have noticed it and it quite frankly scared me a bit, I had no idea it was so evident. But yeah, I'm doing great!
Grandad isn't ready to deal with this, so we don't talk about it. He doesn't like it and doesn't really understands, but he's doesn't meddle. Grandma (maternal) texted these days wanting to meet Bea (finally!), since she found out through aunt Rachel that me and Bea are still together and going strong for 1 year and a half already. I think she took it seriously now.
Anyway, it was hell, lol. But things turned out alright! Thank you for the people who commented in my first post, it was nice reading the comments and taking the options into consideration!

(Since my mother's death, my whole family on her side feel responsible for me, so i see all of them in the same way. None of them are my mom and dad, they are in the same "level" to me and have the same "right"... Him saying that made me burn inside, like they're entitled to me, I don't belong to them or anyone. They're my aunt and "uncle", that's about it, they think they have something on me that they... Don't)
And then my aunt said that I could go, as long as I told my grandad about my sexuality and girlfriend. Now... He's kind of old fashioned and i'm scared he'll reject me... We have an amazing relationship, I have lunch with them every wednesday, and I'm the closest grandkid he has (the others aren't so invested). So I don't know if I tell him the truth and manage to leave (depending on his reaction) or if I don't risk it and stay in the toxic enviroment i'm in.
UPDATE - 14/05/2024
Hello! So, things got much worse before they got better. Let's give them names so the story telling will be easier, let's call my girlfriend Bea, my aunt Leah, her husband James and my "aunt" (my grandad's wife) Rachel.
I basically swallowed my anger because I couldn't bring mysef to speak to my grandad about my sexuality, my grandparents are the most important people in my life as they've always been there for me and I was terrified to be disliked by him. That was until december.
Early december I was leaving for work and before I left, I tried to "notify" my aunt that Bea would be spending Christmas and New Years with me and my siblings (note: my siblings had been looking forward to her being there, specially my brother and my SIL (Luke and Lyla), they made it a question that she'd go. I have 3 paternal siblings, so there's NO relation between them and my aunt Leah. We'd be staying in a city 3 hours away from mine at my brother and SIL's house, every year we do this). She immediately said "you know I don't like this", I said "yes", she then said "good morning" and I left for college.
The next morning, I was eating before going to work and Leah started talking about it and we started a conversation that developed into a fight. She said things like how dare I "notify" her, how that's not how things work and that it would not happen because THEY (she and James) don't feel confortable with this, how THEY think Luke wouldn't like this because "no one likes to have people over for a week" (he and Lyla were super pumped for Bea to go), how THEY don't know my girlfriend enough (come on, we had been dating for over a year already), how THEY wouldn't like me going with her to a stranger's house (in complete disregard to my point of view, it's my freaking brother, whom they met a couple times btw, not a stranger. But to them, the only meaninful point of view was theirs). She had even called my brother to basically "check my story", like?? She also said that we we're only teenagers (seriously, 22 and 20) , and I said "no, she isn't and neither am I!", she said she didn't say Bea was, I then said "and neither am I", she said I was, because I didn't act like and adult, then I got mad and talked about how I do literally everything around the house, always walk the dogs even when I get home tired at 10PM, even though they got there at 7PM, I help with groceries purchase, pay the water bill, clean the house, do the chores her boys lack to do, and when I'm not home, I'm either at work or college, but when she disagrees about something, she just puts me back in the "teenager box". And in the end, she said that my raising was not like this, this made me laugh in anger inside, she's been with me for 5 years, I'm 20 lol.
So that was it, I left for work and got a text from her, apologizing for being rough, saying that she loved me and wanted it to work, that they wanted to talk to me when I got home. I replied saying the same.
Later that day when we were all home, we gathered in the living room, I was literally against the wall and it intimidated me deeply. James started saying how much they loved me and wanted to see me happy, as they want that for all their children (aunt Leah has 2 boys, my cousins, and James has 3 girls). I then talked and expressed how I was feeling, then Leah started talking and basically said in a nicer tone the same things she said earlier, plus how they want me to be happy and want things to work for me, but they think it's too soon, they believe it's not the right time, they they, and therefore, despite being against what they want, I could take Bea, but only in ONE of the two holidays, which I could choose. I was in a bit of a shock (you see, me and Bea had bought the bus tickets a while earlier), had no support, against the wall, I was feeling purely defeated and tired, I only said "Christmas then...", she then said we would sleep in separate rooms and would not go on the 22th after work because "she had already allowed an extra night by allowing her to stay there until the 25th". I stayed in silence, they asked if there was anything I'd like to add, I said no. It wasn't a conversation, in no moment did they actually listened and considered me, they had their minds set way before we sat to talk. I went to my room and rolled all night in pure anxiety. This was thursday
Friday I was a wreck and went to Bea's house to check on her (she was sick that week) and to talk to her about what happened. She noticed something was off, I told her, she got mad and sad, we cried, etc. I went home feeling awful, my anxiety had been 100% all day long and I was in a really bad place and feeling deeply frustrated.
Saturday I woke up worse and decided that I had enough and was not having that anymore. I went outside and called grandad, talked about how I wasn't feeling well and asked what did he think about me leaving home, he said that their doors were always open and that I could just tell my aunt that "I was going to live with my grandad and that was it". I reframed the question asking what he though about me leaving to live alone, he then got worried and said that he didn't think that was necessary, that I had them and didn't need to do that. He then asked me to come over and talk to him and aunt Rachel. I accepted and told aunt Leah I'd sleep at grandad's.
I got there and ate a bit because I didn't want them extra worried, although I felt like throwing up at every bite. Everyone went to sleep and so did I. I woke up a bit later feeling worst, that's when I started to throw up, there was barely anything in my stomach and all I could do was throw up.
The next morning I was better and had already told aunt Rachel about what had happened, she found it absurd how things went (she had met Bea a while back and they clicked very well) and was upset about the things aunt Leah said. I decided to talk to grandad, I couldn't disappear with the subject again, specially now that he was worried sick about me.
So... I sat on the couch and told him what was happening, explained everything, told him that I'm like his stepson's MIL (she's married to a woman. It was the easiest way I found to introduce the topic), told him everything. He asked what I wanted him to do about it, I said that I just wanted him to still love me the same and remain normal with me, that I am still the same person and have always been this way, he just didn't knew about it, but that it changes nothing about me. Aunt Rachel then joined us and asked what he was thinking about it (she knows everything and is amazing to me), he said he wasn't pleased, but that it was my life and he had no say in it and that I should do what's right for me, said that if I wasn't gonna change, then neither would he. But basically, he got much more worried about my mental health than my sexuality, he said that the doors were still open and always would be for me, that he thought I needed a home and thinks they can offer me that. Aunt Rachel said that they wouldn't be obsessive after me, demanding to know every step I take and bossing everything like Leah did, that I have my graduation, I work, make my own money, am responsible, have my own life and am not a child, I'm a 20 year old adult and they would treat me as such.
So that was it. I went back "home" muchhh more confident and waited until nightfall because everyone was having a good time and I didn't want to spoil that. I realized aunt Leah and James were awake and went to talk to them, and that, my friends, is when hell went loose.
I started by saying I talked to my grandad about Bea and my sexuality, Leah asked how it went and I said it was great. Then I said they could talk to him (since they wanted to "decide" with him about my going), she said ok and asked when I wanted to go, I said that it could be in the same week since I was on vacation from college, she frowned, stood firmly and said "you know this won't change our decision about the holidays, right?" then it went boom, I said I didn't agree with them and that it wasn't right for them to dictate about such things. Told them their values and beliefs don't have to be mine, Leah asked "WHY NOT?", then I replied "because I have my own!".
Told them they were controlling and that made their kids lie to them, that since they liked to compare raisings (they criticized Bea's mom's raising because she gives her kids freedom to live their lives and fully trusts), then fine, I went on to say how Bea and her mom have an amazing relationship, full of love and trust, how Bea turned up great, works hard, just made it to psicology at university, helps immensely at home, and so has her sister. As for theirs? They raised their kids poorly, they are overbearing and that makes their kids not trusting them and lying a lot because of this necessity of them to control everything. I stated that the raising they gave their children was not my own, that I had multiple raisings and that no, they didn't "raise" me, I'm 20 and they've been with me for 5 years. Said that was clear, just look at the difference between me and her boys (I won't delve into this bit because it's not relevant, but the difference is nitid).
They said I couldn't take a no for an answer and that was my dad's fault, I said they didn't know what they were talking about, I know how it actually went whilst they made a story in their heads and believe it's the truth, since I knew how my dad used to tell my family one thing and do another.
They (again) said they wouldn't treat me like an adult because I did nothing to behave like one, I said that they didn't treat me as I deserved and they would always put me in the "teenager box" whenever I acted differently to what they thought was right (but I was adult enough to lend James almost 1k without Leah's knoledge lol).
She obviously tried to blame Bea, saying she was putting things in my head and that the last conversation was fine and now I was throwing a fit, I said that I said nothing else then because I felt cornered and realized it wasn't a conversation, it was them simulating one only to tell me what they were going to all along.
I told them they didn't know Bea because they didn't want to and I wasn't confortable bringing her as it was an enviroment unwelcoming to her, she then asked if i would go another year like this until I "felt confortable", I said yes, if that's what it took, that I didn't really need to introduce anyone if I didn't felt comfortable to it.
She once demanded to go meet Bea, after throwing a fit at my BIRTHDAY because Bea planned a day for me and my MIL wanted to make me lunch and they weren't invited, it was super uncomfortable. My aunt described this day as uncomfortable, in this argument I said "and about that day you guys met Bea and her mom? It was uncomfortable? OF COURSE it was, I TOLD you it would be! I told you that was barging in and no one wanted it!". Which Leah said that no, that wasn't the uncomfortable part, the uncomfortable was how Bea was "daring her, being all over me and kissing me in front of her, that she had to be respected!".... Lol, the being "all over me" was me shaking from the anxiety and Bea holding me to keep me in my feet, the "kissing" was ONE greeting kiss. And Bea did nothing "daring" towards Leah, believe me, if she had, aunt Leah would definitely know lol.
At the end, they asked if I was taking Bea, I said, yes, Leah said no, since she called my brother and told him how "things would go down" (amazes me everytime I remember this, she wanted to dictate how the holidays would go IN SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE). Lol, my brother was just texting me saying how Bea could go spend the whole holiday and we'd just say she left after Christmas. So it wasn't a very good argument on Leah's end. I said it was my business and I was sorry, but it was MY brother, MY family, MY relationship, MY life, and it wasn't up for them to dictate on it, they shouldn't feel comfortable or uncomfortable since it had NOTHING to do with them, and that my family who mattered in this were not only comfortable but very excited for Bea's presence.
I told them I knew I wasn't wrong since grandad and aunt Rachel agreed with me, so they could go ahead and talk to them if they wanted to. They ended up showing me their tumb and I left for my room.
Aunt Leah left to grandad's house in like, 5 minutes, cried to him and all. She got back, went in my room and in an ironic tone, said "sorry, I know I'm not your mother, stay with your raisings, I'm just glad and relieved my father wasn't as ok as you thought (her saying this seriously hurt me), he accepted for reasons ans beliefs he has, so go ahead and pack your bags this week, you're free to go. Sorry for the flaws, I was trying to get it right, be careful when you take that sticker off, don't ruin the painting." aaand she left.
The next day, grandad came and we took 90% of my stuff and I started officially living with him and aunt Rachel. Christmas was a bit awkward (my maternal family does this early Christmas so everyone's free on the 24th), but I was glooming feeling like the weight of the world had left my shoulders.
So... I went with Bea to spend the holidays with my family, my siblings, my SIL's parents and even my 1 year old nephew absolutely adored Bea, they now ask about her even before asking about me lol. My paternal grandmother loved her and was amazing, told my aunt (her daughter) that Bea was adorable and loving. It was amazing and I cannot imagine 2023 Christmas and New Year without Bea with us, she added sooo much.
Recently we've been to Luke's and Lyla's at Easter and made Easter eggs together, watched movies, went out, went to a family gathering where Bea, my uncles, cousins and grandmother (who was really happy to see her since Bea couldn't go to her birthday because she had to work) all got along really well.
We see each other frequently, living with grandad and aunt Rachel has been amazing, I'm finally gaining weight! MANY people have noticed it and it quite frankly scared me a bit, I had no idea it was so evident. But yeah, I'm doing great!
Grandad isn't ready to deal with this, so we don't talk about it. He doesn't like it and doesn't really understands, but he's doesn't meddle. Grandma (maternal) texted these days wanting to meet Bea (finally!), since she found out through aunt Rachel that me and Bea are still together and going strong for 1 year and a half already. I think she took it seriously now.
Anyway, it was hell, lol. But things turned out alright! Thank you for the people who commented in my first post, it was nice reading the comments and taking the options into consideration!
2024.05.14 22:08 NotNorweign236 Prophecy
Who wants to help me test a prophecy 💀 Tbh I just need group energy It’s one of those lost prophecies, ya know, one of those lost due to racism trying to destroy at least one race just so another could conquer in freedom
Okay, so, do you know what a false prophet is? Usually someone designated a liar through another religion destroying another. Me? I’m multiracial, if anything (get a load of this guy, thinking he’s all that when there’s so many others), there’s prophecies surrounding multiracial people as most “modern” leading prophecies conclude themselves with all races being peaceful with awareness of warfare and such to stop when need be. I got genetic information, that leads to information conglomeration, in the correct circumstances of which I speak, that doesn’t make me a prophet, not to me, plus I don’t claim religion, haha
To me, prophets don’t exist as foresight is natural gift, so if you would like a singular leader designated foresight person for everyone, good luck not having a pawned controlled system, like yeah, leaders are great, but there’s male and female, naturally, otherwise herms, naturally (I will not speak for others as I have not delved that way, I am fine with they/them though so long as they recognize their natural place as to not upset the natural balance and force others into usually unnecessary relationships, but aye, being poly can be fun -or a time waster when no one is mature, not my first choice).
Ok so. Working out the kinks. Foresight has some to do with time travel, the natural form of time travel instead of purely mechanically led. So. I need a group of people. This is a stupid idea just putting online, but due to the government (and others) and how they’ve treated people trying to help others, healthily, in the past, I’m making this public because they also have people working on this. My goal is timeline ordinance, so like everyone 2000 and after can be born still, so no, I will not disperse this information to anyone older than the birth year of 2001 or likely younger than 2008, I am sorry (time travel part not the foresight), but if you do manage to figure, please, be cautious of the information paradox.
If my theory holds correct, the Jesus dude did what I am, or, time is consequential, so there is, regardless, a Jesus figure, or multiple (just not how most think). I will not go further into this part, y’all figure that on your own. I am not claiming to be that guy, just stating theory.
Okay so, I need those in places where they are most likely to be born regardless, as the information paradox can seep memories or lock others in their own and change current events.
We are to not change anything. We may save the lives of those we lost yes, but we risk losing our time frame, this is the point of meditation. We don’t need time terrorists. Our goal is to figure the best probability of keeping everyone alive without stopping others from being born, but don’t worry, if they aren’t born, they still exist.
Emotional health is needed to get anywhere with this so if you’re some regular power hungry person, it won’t work.
Now, the important thing to note, is that you can mind swap with someone doing this, so you can accidental trade bodies, but if the will is strong enough, well, classic “it’s not me but I’m still here if you help me remember and emotional trigger me” if the process works.
In the future, they have some time barriers to stop people from doing this stuff unless they are healthy, so in our current events, they are watching. We can project ourselves through time, our level of awareness designates how. I’ve had this information for a long time so you can’t get rid of me by trying to leave me out, or taking me out now, you seriously have to wait until anyone within my relative time frame, is dead. So the public, use this information to remember.
Obviously I won’t reveal the entire plan since you can clearly think of all of it at this point, should be able to. This is only if I decide to go back, like this is my decision to make, unless someone else remembers. You need to know your psychology, all of it, otherwise you will repeat all of your choices you have made. This is not meant for those who don’t have a will to fight back or stay living for others. This is not meant to be a display of power?
I seek not war but health. I seek not vengeance but an avenger. I seek not lies but the truth. I seek not hate but love. I seek not worship but recognition. I seek not religion but spirit. I seek not fame but fortune. I seek hot hearts willing to sear those who would pain unnecessarily. I seem to seek what most seem to avoid so openly.
To avoid conflict, I will keep this subject to America. Anyone who try’s using this information without contacting me after seeing this hasn’t earned, I earned. Aight, let’s see if my first therapists med recommendations are helpful or if I’m just crazy bc I predicted a 2026-7 war with America the other day and then I got a YouTube notification from Infographics saying “German Intelligence Warns Russian attack on Nato 2026” not even an hour ago. If this post affects anything, in minimal standards, it’s prolonged or sped up, maybe on schedule for some.
Lol let me know who made it through. I will not be accepting obvious non multiracial applicants to avoid racial war. I will not accept anyone affiliated with government protocol unless you straight up tell me how and, or I can clearly see. I will not be sharing my personal information of how I look to avoid fake outs, but I will ask of yours to confirm you’re real about sharing intention. No, I do not have this stuff written into any computer format, it is entirely useless getting information anywhere but here from here on, I have no socials besides YouTube, Xbox and Spotify, and this.
I will continue posting, if I stop for more than a month, something happened, the longer it goes, well, should be obvious given three main options lol
If you get lost, some emotions will make you remember a little bit. Chances are we wont make it, as I am supposed to have a wife in the process for an emotional way finder.

2024.05.14 22:08 AdVarious2348 AITA for not remembering the small good things about a past relationship?
So I (now 23f) was dating my ex boyfriend (now25m) in Oct 2018 till Sept 2020 roughly 2 years. Let’s call him Blake. I had moved to a new country for college, where I met him. We had one of those relationships where everything was great, we were quite compatible and happy together. We rarely fought. But, we broke up because we wanted different things in life and it made sense to breakup then than later which would’ve caused us both more hurt. However, he changed completely after our breakup and became very bitter. He became very rude towards me and cut all contact. I was hurt and upset over this but thought it was his coping mechanism. We all returned to college in Sept’20 when social distancing protocols were in place. But I found out he had started dating my ex best friend, let’s call her Sarah. (Important Context: She was a narcissistic self serving person who couldn’t see me being friends with anyone but her and tried controlling me which I couldn’t stand. So I distanced myself from her. None of our friends liked her and kept their distance from her. Blake hated Sarah especially and even mocked her in front of all our friends.) So when Blake and Sarah started dating, all of our friends reached out to me and asked me what’s happening? I told them all if you find out, let me know as well. So after we broke up, I still had some stuff at Blake’s place (we had to head back to our country during Covid lockdown in Mar-20) so I sent my best friend to pick my stuff up from his place. He made her wait outside for 30 mins- mind you she had already told him a week in advance that she’ll be coming to collect mystuff and also pinged him the morning of for the same. I didn’t let it bother me and tried to move on.
It was in September-21 when Sarah reached out to me on WhatsApp with a huge text as to how evil I am and how I should stop texting with Blake. I just asked her what she was on about? I hadn’t spoken to him in a year? And I just blocked her because I actually forgot she existed, I was just so calm and happy in my own life that I wasn’t even interested in these two. That was actually the day I had a date planned and I instantly blocked her before she could further piss me off.
Fast forward to January 2022, Blake’s bestfriend randomly pings me on Instagram and makes small talk that lasted upto 3/4 days (I take a lot of time to respond to msgs). Then he told him to talk to Blake. I was surprised and asked him wasn’t he dating Sarah? He said I think he’s not happy and that I should please talk to him. I found it very troubling because Blake’s bestfriend is a “no-nonsense” kinda person and wouldn’t have texted if it wasn’t an emergency. So I reached to Blake on WhatsApp after Sept-20 for the first time. He sounded low and said it’s wrong that he’s talking to me because he’s still with Sarah but only and truly loves me. He wanted to breakup with her but she won’t let him and all sorts of “I only love you. I’ve only ever truly been happy with you. I still look at our pictures” and he also described a lot of things that I did for him that he loved and how happy it made him and at one point he cried and I just muted the phone and chuckled because I didn’t remember any of it because I kinda forgot all about him. I took a whole year to process this breakup and work upon myself and my mental health. He was hurt that I don’t miss him. And he even said that this means I didn’t truly love him. He was the one who started dating someone else in the 1st place. So what does that say about him?
He has mostly recently sent me an email (3page long) from his work address confessing his love for me. I don’t even know what to say. (This was yesterday)
Would I be wrong to just ignore it?

It was in September-21 when Sarah reached out to me on WhatsApp with a huge text as to how evil I am and how I should stop texting with Blake. I just asked her what she was on about? I hadn’t spoken to him in a year? And I just blocked her because I actually forgot she existed, I was just so calm and happy in my own life that I wasn’t even interested in these two. That was actually the day I had a date planned and I instantly blocked her before she could further piss me off.

2024.05.14 22:08 thenerdwritersblog I am pregnant and I am not sure what to do now.
https://www.reddit.com/TwoXIndia/s/liPwhI9XlA
After our fight, I made sure to ignore my husband and only reply when asked questions. He didn't apologize but kept his tone normal with me and after that incident, whenever he used to say anything that would hurt me, I would straight away go out of the room or put headphones or else I would reply back to him.
When I posted the above-mentioned post, I had already conceived, and I missed my periods, so I decided to take an at home pregnancy test. It came out positive.
I informed my husband about my pregnancy test, and he was shocked at first. Then, he kept on questioning if the child was his because this was something we weren't planning. I told him several times(mind you, I was practically shouting at a point), and I am not sure if he believes it or not, but he doesn't ask any more questions.
I am still looking for a job and gave some interviews, waiting to hear back from them. I have decided not to abort the child. I can not do that.
My parents are very happy and my mother strictly said to me to take care of myself even if no one does. She also told me not to tolerate any BS, and if things go rocky, then I should come to India.
My MIL is happy. This is what she told me, but now is concerned about her daughter as my SIL is also expecting a baby. She is like, "Who will help her. She will be all alone." My MIL wants to come here, i.e. in the country we are living right now, but her visa was rejected a few times before. She also told me to go find work at supermarkets. When I told her the news, she was more concerned about her daughter and me not earning rather than the happiness of having a baby.
My husband, on the other hand, told me to take care of myself and, surprisingly,listen to me. He will make sure I eat healthy and on time and not eat cold food. When we visited the doctor, he also asked questions regarding my health. Yes, he does tells me to do certain things like talk to people ( I am very reserved type), engage in conversations but now he is not shouting at me but talking with me in normal tone.
Also, my MIL once told me that we want a boy child only at first, and when I asked the same question to my husband, he said that it didn't matter to him whether it would be a girl or a boy. It would be our baby.
I am sure I am a bad person for saying this, but I don't want my MIL to be present here cause she has some weird notions about periods and pregnancy. When I was in India living with her, she would not let me come near when she was making pickles if I was menstruating. Now, she is telling me that if two pregnant women live together, then one would lose their milk and would not be able to breastfeed. This is the reason my SIL and her husband will be living separately. She also says that if a pregnant woman craves sweet, it would be a boy and many other things.
I have already heard these things and a guessing game of a boy child or a girl child at the time of my SIL, and now, I can not go through this again during my time. I am sure I will blast and say something to her.
For my sanity, I don't want her here. I am ready to face all challenges and do everything for my baby, but not this. This does make me a bad person, but I can't help it.
I am sure that having a child will not change the dynamics between my husband and I, and I can not process things right now. I really need a sisterly advice please.

2024.05.14 22:08 Heyguyshowyallbeen I (14F) don't know how to tell my girlfriend (15F) that she's making me uncomfortable without hurting her feelings.
I come from a stricter family. Not the point of helicopter parenting but hella close at times. Around 4th grade I started to sneak out, just walk around the neighborhood at night, somedays I would lie to my parents about studying at a friend's and instead meet up with a partner or group to wander around for fun. Just getting out of the house sort of stuff. I value my privacy, and have rarely put myself into dangerous situations willingly. My girlfriend, "G" is opposite, she has parents who allow her to do pretty much anything. Her family all smokes weed, even herself, she's been out to her family since she first liked a girl, and G is just overall given freedoms that I dream of. However, it hasn't always been this way. G's parents used to fight a lot and her older sister often harasses her. She's currently living with 7 family members and 12 pets in a two story house, meaning there's zero space and everyone knows everyone's business.
A few weeks ago she asked me out over text. I semi-expected it because of our increasing interactions and subtle hints from both directions. We started dating and all was well, really. But G has been a bit too much for me. I'll just bullet down some recent issues.

A few weeks ago she asked me out over text. I semi-expected it because of our increasing interactions and subtle hints from both directions. We started dating and all was well, really. But G has been a bit too much for me. I'll just bullet down some recent issues.
- G constantly talks about us during college or getting married.
- She told her parents immediately that we were dating before I even knew, I'm not against it but as someone who's not yet out to my parents, it's given me a lot of anxiety.
- In the month we've been dating, I've spent every lunchtime with her. It's caused me to actually start separating from my friend group, but everytime I bring it up, it gets shot down.
- G can be very showy in public. She's akin to a teachers pet, and I loved her confidence but after dating she's started squealing, randomly talking loudly, or running up to hug me, and its a lot for me because I don't like having attention on me.
- She told me she's only had "bad exes"
- This is going to make me sound like an a**hole, but she's pretty slow. It takes her a while to understand any jokes, it's a struggle to help her in school, and since I used to study with the previously mentioned friend group at lunch, it's even harder for me to study.
- It feels like I'm the mature one. G is very childish at times and doesnt regulate her emotions well, which leaves me to regulate hers and mine just to avoid fighting.
2024.05.14 22:08 Designer-Pumpkin-252 Am I a bad person for wanting to buy a house without my boyfriend
My boyfriend (23 M) and I (23 F) have been together for almost 5 years now- living together for 2. I love him to bits and we have a very good and transparent relationship. But I feel like this is breaking/ will break our relationship.
Here is the thing, I want to buy a house - but not just for myself, for my parents. I’m an immigrant who moved to the UK as a child, in search for a better life. We own nothing, growing up it was always renting, constantly moving houses, never feeling like I have a place that I can call “home”. I barely ever had my own room and have no place I can call my own when I visit my parents. Both of my parents have been working their lives off to give me and my brother the best life they could and I am very grateful for it. It’s been my life dream to buy a house that I can give to my parents and have a place where we don’t have to worry about being told to move out. I’m getting especially worried about it now as they are getting old- I don’t know how much longer they would be able to work for as the jobs are physical. I’ve been working since i was 17 - all the way through uni and by the time I graduated I already had enough saved for a deposit. I always made it clear to my boyfriend (who I met in uni) that this is something I want to do and was always transparent about it.
We have recently relocated together for full time jobs, we’re renting a Teo bed place and life has been great. But, now that I am finally in a full time job, I want to get on the property ladder ASAP and have been talking to him how my plan is to buy a house in the next year. However, this was not received very well.
You see, he really wants to buy it with me. Our recent chat revealed that he was under the impression that this dream of mine getting a house for my parents was something I wanted to do later in life, like in my 50s….so he is feeling betrayed that I don’t want to invest into our life and building our family, and buying a house together where we can start a family and etc…While I understand his feelings, I have tried to assure him that we can still do that.. in a year I will be fully qualified in my field and am projected to earn double of what I earn right now so I’m more than happy to get another mortgage with him where he’s the main share holder…but this was not received well.
He comes from a very wealthy background, went to a private school and his family is very well off - their house is gorgeous. I tried to explain to him that I have nothing, and I want something to be able to call my own, so to me it’s very important I do this by myself. I think he has the issue of me owning something so big by myself, where he is not involved, he is feeling left out…. But I also reiterated that at the end of the day when we get married; this is something that will become ours anyway. He never expressed a desire to own a house quickly before, his timelines were always far away like get a place at 28 marry and kids by 30… so I’m also frustrated as there is nothing preventing us from still doing that….
After many conversations, from his point of view we can get a house together now that we can give to my parents when they will need it and move out ourselves - but to me this is not the same. Firstly, I don’t want there to be any dependencies, I want my parents to have the ability to move into it whenever they want, do with it whatever they want and not feel guilty that half of it isn’t theirs - or like they are taking our place. Also I don’t want to create a situation where my boyfriend feels like my parents depend on him as well and vice versa. Second of all, this situation was never discussed with my in laws and I can’t imagine what their reaction to this is going to be nor do I want to. I want to be independent and not have anyone else involved so that if anything ever goes wrong - my parents don’t have to worry about moving out and again, have something that I can invest in and have something in this world.
My boyfriend says that he understands where I am coming from but but also I don’t think he is because there is so much tension; every time we talk about this, he gets very upset and defensive…I don’t know what else to do to or say make it better, it feels like every reassurance I give is being received with the same response…
So am I a bad person for wanting to do this myself….
TL;DR I’m an immigrant who wants to buy a house without my boyfriend because I want to have a place to call my own. He’s been very fortunate in life and him nor his parents will never have to worry about having a roof over their heads. This is not the same case for me, so it’s important I do this and I have been saving up for this ever since I could work. I was always transparent about my dream, but now that I am in a position to do this, I’m not getting a good response from my boyfriend as he feels betrayed and left out he is not involved… am I a bad person ..

2024.05.14 22:08 TailungFu [A COMPREHENSIVE TINNITUS AND POOR POSTURE TREATMENT PLAN] help for those with tinnitus caused by TMJ/poor posture.
i have:
I've had tinnitus and some of above issues for 4 years, and i think below is the only thing thats been helping lately although might be too soon to say, however gonna share anyway coz so far it has 100% helped me with jaw clicking that i had for many years, a long with back of head clicking noises and is helping with my posture.
note -
When it comes to tinnitus i believe it has helped, however unsure if it will continue helping it or if its just a placebo effect; same for hearing sensitivity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9OQMBPrFgI&list=LL&index=2&ab_channel=JeremyEthier
so every 60 mins, u either stand up for an hour, or do the stretches, i personally stand up every hour and sometimes when going to sit back down i do a stretch. Do what you prefer best and suits you.
Note- when standing take note of your posture, such as your feet pointing outwards when standing, this is a sign of duck feet and correct the feet to be straight and aligned.
----- jaw stretch
throughout the day i simply open my mouth as wide as possible, like use all your face and mouth to open, and simply rotate my head around (look left, right, up and down), but dont over do the rotating head part whilst u have mouth open, just look around a bit, left right, up, etc.
Note - i dont have any jaw pain, my tmj could just be muscular and may differ from your tmj, so whether this may be of help to u idk. I noticed that sitting posture influences the back of head cracking noises and jaw clicking.
----- results after 1-2 days.
ive only done this for 1-2 days so very early to say, but i tell you what, it has done the following:
Pros:
pros:
sharing this anyway coz it probably will help someone out here struggling with finding something to help their tinnitus, tmj and poor posture.

so every 60 mins, u either stand up for an hour, or do the stretches, i personally stand up every hour and sometimes when going to sit back down i do a stretch. Do what you prefer best and suits you.
Note- when standing take note of your posture, such as your feet pointing outwards when standing, this is a sign of duck feet and correct the feet to be straight and aligned.
----- jaw stretch
throughout the day i simply open my mouth as wide as possible, like use all your face and mouth to open, and simply rotate my head around (look left, right, up and down), but dont over do the rotating head part whilst u have mouth open, just look around a bit, left right, up, etc.
Note - i dont have any jaw pain, my tmj could just be muscular and may differ from your tmj, so whether this may be of help to u idk. I noticed that sitting posture influences the back of head cracking noises and jaw clicking.
----- results after 1-2 days.
ive only done this for 1-2 days so very early to say, but i tell you what, it has done the following:
Pros:
- Less head cracking when rotating head.
- less head tension, but at same time i kinda feel like i still got head tension, so maybe not, but i feel like its helping idk.
- Smoother JAW opening, left jaw used to click a lot but now it feels smoother and less clicking.
- Tinnitus feels quieter, but can still hear it in the day but not too bad. In bed its more louder tbh.
- Increased hearing sensitivity after jaw stretch, not sure why but will continue anyways coz fuck it and its helped with jaw opening and back of head cracking noises.
- Still feeling some head tension
- still get cracking noises behind back when i do shoulder squeeze.
- still get popping noises behind my pelvis/ at back of lower spine when standing up from sitting.
pros:
- noticeably less head cracking when rotating head left, right, and doing various circles with head.
- reduced tinnitus, its much quieter
- less head tension
- smoother jaw opening
- despite first 1-2 days my hearing sensitivity being worse, i think its actually slightly improving now.
- Somedays after waking up, tinnitus is reactive and louder, but that goes away after doing jaw stretches and exercising a bit, etc. Note on top of tinnitus being reactive, hearing sensitivity also worsens during these times.
- sometimes still feel some head tension
sharing this anyway coz it probably will help someone out here struggling with finding something to help their tinnitus, tmj and poor posture.
----- notes for sitting on pc
- get an electric desk, so u can switch between standing, or you can raise table to a height that makes it easier to eat without bending the neck.
- knees at 90 degrees.
- elbows at 90 degrees.
- lumbar support.
- dont use arm rests, they are only for resting not for long hours of use on pc.
- middle of monitor screen at eye level.
- thick memory foam pillows aren't good for me personally, they make it harder to breathe or almost block your breathing during sleep.
- However slimmer foam pillows i think have helped.
- I have tried shredded memory foam as well and not the biggest fan, but i still switch between the thin memory foam pillow and the shredded one.
- I also make sure to always sleep on side.
- And i do not mouth breathe.
- I dont use masking noises during sleep either, even when tinnitus has been the most distracting simply because i have a feeling it would backfire and cause you to rely on a sound to sleep, on top of possibly accumulating hearing loss if its too loud by accident. That said perhaps my tinnitus isn't as loud as yours, so experience may differ.
2024.05.14 22:07 United-Many7967 Why does my 23M year old bf not want me 20F to study?
Hey! I need some advice. My boyfriend who is 23 and I 20 have been together for 5 years now we definitely had our ups and downs but we had worked through it. Last year he has opened up his own business and it’s been going good so far. I recently wanted to start studying at uni but he wouldn’t let me because he feels like other guys will try and talk to me so he is very against it. I would be fine with not studying but it’s just that we don’t live together and he doesn’t even help me pay for anything or buy me anything not that he should but it’s why I want to study so I can get a degree and get a job so I’ll be able to pay for things myself. He is always like when his things are sorted he will take care of me and give me everything I want but I don’t know. I really wanted to move in with him because obviously when you love someone you want to to be with them together but that is definitely not his priority, he doesn’t want to move in with me but instead buy like three houses and put them on rent and make passive money. He feels like he can make more money if we don’t move in together but what is the point then? I feel like I’ll be wasting my years away for someone who doesn’t even want to live with me. Can someone give me any advice I don’t know what to do.
