Sana yung nearby cebu or sa cebu 😬
Hi yall im new here just trying my luck lang na makita nako ang the called "THE ONE" Hehe. Ready nako for commitments ikaw nalang kuwang haha
About me: 5'9 83kgs (i do gym but bulking) Average looking guy 😁 I do have full time job in medical field
I do like:outdoor adventures camping, hiking, rides, fishing. I do like also music bands mostly mga heavy metal, pop punks, nu metals etc. And joining Gigs

Tbh i dont mind physically preferences as long as we vibes then lets go 😁
Dm me here or dm me on rimurusama12

I am always fatigued, cannot focus and have poor memory since my early teens. I consistently aim for about 9.5 - 10 hours sleep a night to feel OK the next day, but I never feel fully rested. Apparently an adult sleeping over 9 hours counts as oversleeping. Does anyone else have this problem?
My other symptoms that may be related: * Chronic nasal congestion and runny nose my whole life * There is a constant feeling of pressure in my head but I never have headaches * Ear issues - they crackle when I move my jaw muscles or neck and I seem to struggle hearing * I seem to pee more often than other people but idk if it's because I drink more water than the average person. I wake up to pee 2-3 times a night. Again, this may be due to how much I drink.

Sorry for the long story.
Alright. So some context. I'm a pretty big fan of Aurora 4x. If you don't know, it's an incredibly complex and in-depth 4x strategy game set in space where you can customize your ships down to each individual component (i.e. you can make your own engines/weapons/etc. to stick on your ships). A creator that I'm a fan of is advertising an role-playing series about this, and I'm like "Yeah, I'm in".
It kind of dies on arrival. But then the chosen DM for this invites me to another game which continues the legacy so to say with nobility and space battles. That one takes a pause (not really important to the story) and I get invited to another game. If you've heard of the game Terra Invicta, it's basically that. Aliens are invading Earth and are influencing various nations and it's up to the players in the United Nations to stop them. This is the game that I wish to share.
Now, this game had numerous problems mechanically. Mainly, the UN is given a ton of resources (trillions of dollars and 'resources' to be precise). But everything costs like... $100, or like 10 resources. And we as players are limited to like 4 infantry brigades between all of us. So we kind of have nothing to spend it on. Bad enough on it's own, but it's not really horror just yet.
We ended up starting in 2024. Modern day. Dropped straight into the Invasion of Ukraine in Mariupol to dislodge the Russians from the city (The Russians are, of course, being influenced by the aliens). We skirmish and kick them out. Cool. I'm made into the de-facto commanding officer of the entire UN military. Which sounds impressive, but remember, we're just infantry. (And also, the DM insists that Jeeps are to be considered armored personnel carriers as they have "armor" and carry dudes. More on this classification stuff later)
In comes the bomb. A literal bomb. Russia nukes Kiev. Now, you might be wondering "Oh man, so like does this end up into some kind of world war? Any larger political impact?" no. Nada. Zilch. The entire world just kind of... ignores the situation. I'm here thinking "Uh, that's weird", but I ignore it since the game starts opening up. At the time I was guessing that the DM just wanted to end the tutorial with a literal bang.
Next session. The literal fallout of the nuke. Kiev is gone, quite literally the entire command and government structure of Ukraine just up and vaporizes. So we're left to pick up the pieces. Unfortunately, Ukraine is in literal pieces. Fractured into several parts. Some support the UN. Some support Russia. Others support the fucking Asimov Battalion (which rebrands to the Asimov Division). For those of you who don't know, the Asimov Battalion are pretty closely linked with nazis.
In comes our moral dilemma. Leader of the Asimov Division comes to our base and starts negotiations. DM starts RPing with the leader saying stuff like "The Nazis are the only good thing to have happened to Ukraine. Where was x y and z when this and that happened! Nowhere! The Nazis gave us..." yada yada. In my mind I was thinking "Holy shit what? I guess he's just roleplaying...". Now I've got two "advisors". The medic of the group in charge of humanitarian efforts says the no-brain "Hey. They're fucking Nazis. We shouldn't be working with them" while my de-facto XO is like "Nah, we should help them". Of course, since the DM is basically ham-fisting me to help the literal Nazis with the threat of having to fight a war on both sides by two numerically superior enemies (again, we only have 4 infantry battalions) I basically have to grin and be like "Ok. We'll help you".
So I'm left thinking that this was as wacky as things were going to get. The next two weeks are "normal". I have to do a lot of set-up since the game is really starting to open up. We get to research things, we get a higher unit count, we get more than just goddamn infantry. So of course: I get us some actual armor and whatnot. In comes Mr. Armor expert who writes up the formation template for an armored brigade. Except he didn't follow the templates we were given so I had to tell him multiple times to edit it and everything, during which he insults me. "Alright, kind of weird you're insulting your commanding officer, but fine" I think.
He calls his formation an armored regiment. I called it an armored brigade. He gets pissed off and insists that it be called a regiment as the two are "very different" according to him. I not only pull rank (At this point I am a 3-star general and he is a goddamn colonel) and tell him that I am literally writing our doctrine from scratch and I can call it whatever the hell I want, but I even link him to the US DoD (he is basing stuff off the US army) where it literally says that armor is only called a regiment for historical reasons and thus armored regiments are literally just armored brigades. His response? "Wow, for someone who thinks they know a lot, you sure know nothing".
I am just baffled at the insubordination and I'm debating whether to court marshal his ass when out of left field all of my other junior officers come out of the woodworks to call me a "crybaby" and a "bitch" and all sorts of shit. I talk about this stuff with my friends and they're equally as confused as I am.
It's then that I bother to read through the world events that are going on (keep in mind, that at this point I've been busy with classes and have had to spend literal hours setting up formations, budgets, officer assignments, research, etc. in my off time) with my friends. And oh my god there is a lot to unpack with this.
Event 1: The Scandinavian countries unite and reform the Kalmar Union and do viking stuff.
Event 2: Portugal invades and annexes Brazil.
Event 3: Aliens just vaporize the entire country of Australia.
Event 4: Greece and Turkey unite to form... the Byzantine Empire. A high schooler could come up with something better. And the DM is a grown ass adult living on their own.
You think that was bad? It gets worse.
Event 5: Ireland invades the UK to reclaim Northern Ireland (There is a dude in game who now that I'm looking back, I'm pretty sure supports the IRA)
Event 6: Mexico joins hands with the aliens and invades the US. President Biden orders the military to stand down. In response, the US military starts a coup against Biden and instates... Donald Trump as the new president.
Yes. You read that right. The US military performs a violent coup to instate a president with no election.
It gets better.
The US counterattacks and defeats Mexico. The result? Mexico becomes the 51st state of America. That's right. All of Mexico becomes state 51. Oh, and for shits and giggles the US also invades Canada and makes that state 52. State constitution? Voting? The idea of a territory? Puerto Rico? Nope.
At this point I've realized just what I've gotten myself into. Everything became so clear all of a sudden, all the little flags and stuff clicked in quite possibly the most horrifying way possible. This isn't an RP game, it's a goddamn fan-fiction for Trump with some edgy alt-history bullshit thrown in. My friends obviously advise me to GTFO, but I can't help but do one last thing.
My character, as the leader of the UN military, came to be known as a hero and the father of the Modern UN. So obviously I had to have this guy go out with a bang. I write a manifesto, where I basically say "I've given my all to defend humanity from this extra-terrestrial threat. But upon looking at the state of the war and the things we've done as a species, I cannot help but wonder if these Aliens are the good guys after all?"
My final words to this group of... interesting individuals were an apology to the secretary who will find my brain matter splattered all over the walls as my character deep throats a bullpup sniper rifle (these people hate bullpup guns) but also definitively states that it is an armored brigade, not an armored regiment.
Of course I blocked every single one of these mfs and immediately left any and all channels shared with them. Like even now, two months later, I cannot believe that I managed to find myself embroiled in a group like this.

Who even bought this supplement and actually got results on this? Now I know this is snake oil and most of the reviews on YouTube and the ad are AI-generated, it does appeal to me personally cuz I do struggle with myopia. I’m not usually stupid enough to fall for these but I’m kinda getting desperate and I’m sick of myopia. But I’m wondering who actually bought this and got results too. If you’re gonna prove to me this is actually the real deal, you’re gonna have to send your medical record, prescription history, and so on personally in the DM to me. If not, then you’re gonna have to tell me that imma just have to stick to optometrists and glasses and how I’d have to rely on surgery if I want good vision without glasses again.

Female, 19, white, 115lbs, USA, no pre-existing medical conditions (that I know of), not currently on prescription medication but I do take Flonase(off-brand) daily, problem has been ongoing for a week, maybe a little less.
I’m a little bit of a hypochondriac, so if this post sounds ridiculous I apologize.
For the past week or so, whenever I’m going about my day (relaxing, straining, anything) I’ll get this random rumble in my left ear. It is unintentional and lasts only a few seconds. I can rumble my ears on command, but this is happening involuntarily.
The other day, after this happened, I stretched my neck to the right, and felt something in that left ear pop, which doesn’t usually happen when I do this stretch.
I’m hyper aware of that ear and just tonight I started experiencing minor pain and itching in the ear. I feel like I can feel the inside of it constantly. Part of me thinks it sounds slightly muffled but I’m half-tempted to think it’s my paranoia getting the better of me.
This may be important or it may not be, but for years I’ve had a small lump inside that ear that bleeds if aggravated (although you REALLY have to aggravate it). I assume it’s a mole of some kind that just happened to pop up in an inconvenient spot. I have moles other places so it’s not strange for me.
I also recently discovered a small amount of mold in my wooden bedroom floor (currently treating it), although I cannot fathom how mold would affect just one of my ears and nothing else.
I hope that information was at least semi-helpful…
I would appreciate ideas/theories as to what might be going on. I’m hoping it’s some kind of nasal congestion that’s traveling through my sinuses and affecting my ear or maybe even an ear infection if some sort (although I haven’t been particularly congested or sick lately.)
Thanks all - Cara

Important info is in bold. Rest of it are what I am experiencing right now and maybe an idea of having someone close to sleep near or by you. It helps a lot for anxiety and when you wake up in panic.
I've been sleeping next to my parents as lame as that sounds since I become confused and constantly going into panic attacks once my seroquel kicks in. The akathisia is much worse at this time and for hours. I have to take gabapentin a little before my dose to make it somewhat bearable. I'll still be rolling around for hours in a confused and anxious state with what feels like RLS on steroids.
Sleeping next to my parents gives me some peace since I can see them when I feel like I'm starting to slip into a panic attack during my incoherent and panic attack filled phase. I've tried to sleep by my self but I can't stand it as it sends me into full blown panic attacks and just much worst anxiety overall being by my self. It feels like I'm sinking into my bed because my mind is awake but my body feels like it's not there. So I sleep on the floor. It helps me feel grounded.
The worst feeling is my blood pressure drops or at least it feels like it and then tightness and congested feeling of my chest starts once the seroquel is fully working. It feels like I need to manually breathe and it feels like I'm out of breath too. It also feels like I'll die in my sleep from not being able to breathe properly or breathe at all. That's what really sends me in to a panic attack. The inconsistent heart rate and blood pressure doesn't help either.
I will also sit up right in panic sometimes gasping for air or making a sound while sleeping every 20-30mins or every hour or two if I'm lucky. Scared my dad a couple times because of this.
Tardive dyskinesia symptoms have been showing a lot more often too. Woke up several times not being able to control my limbs. Almost fell over once after getting off my bed because I could barely control my legs or arms.
The akathisia during the day started getting worse as days went by. I was desperate because this feeling is horrible. I saw that a good portion of what is used to treat akathisia is already prescribed to me which is clonazepam and gabapentin.
Gabapentin is definitely what works the best. I am also tapering off klonopin and was doing all right with .5mg but now it feels like it's not enough because I am much more anxious than I was a month ago. It still definitely helps with the akathisia though.
Mirtazapine also seems to help a good amount. I'm taking .5mg of clonazepam, 1200mg of gabapentin spread throughout the day, and 15mg of mirtazapine.
Mirtazapine and 250mg of vitamin b6 early in the morning, gabapentin 3x a day, and the clonazepam I take half in the day and half late night. I have to time my doses correctly so I don't experience any akathisia.
Vitamin B6 is supposedly effective but I'm not too sure if it really is.
I also take 250mg of lamictal split into day and night, and 2mg of risperidone which I am tapering off of and will be off completely soon.
I did as much research as I could since it started getting a lot worse soon after I saw my doctor. So I had almost 30 days till I saw my doctor again and I definitely would've gone to the ER. I almost called the ambulance when it started getting bad because I didn't know what the hell was going on. I also didn't know what was going on with me till someone else told me what it was I was experiencing in another post I made which was after I already met the doctor.
It feels like I have to jog around my place without these medications I listed above. It also makes me extremely prone to panic attacks which would occur every few minutes.
Hope this info helps anyone else.
Ask your doc for propranolol and gabapentin. Try mirtazapine. Klonopin should be a last resort.

Hi, I need support! My 15 y/o neutered cat has been struggling with congestion and bloody nose (one sided) since February.
We have given him three rounds of three different antibiotics - he has been on steroids - he went under to get radiographs of his nasal passages and got his teeth cleaned.
I'm on day four of no water and food. He was at the veterinarian on Tuesday and I'm going back this morning. I am going to ask the vet for an appetite stimulate and subcutaneous fluids.
Has anyone gone through this and your cat survive? I'm terrified to loss him. Ive been giving him water via syringe every hour - I have him in a separate room with two humidifiers running. What else can I do? I'm so lost!
Thanks!!
Sorry if this is not allowed

Edit to add - he has a scheduled CT scan next week.

Hello all Sunday of course on Mother’s Day I started having severe side pain in my life side. To the point where I was going to faint. My daughter had just fallen asleep so I toughed it out for the night and tried to sleep that night but all night I was shaking and jerking in my sleep my fiancé even took videos for the doctors office. I ended up going to the ER Monday morning. The doctor did lab work said everything looks fine your good. My grandmother who was there with me demanded a CT scan. Doctor at ER literally rolled her eyes mean while she never prescribed any pain meds which whatever I was more concerned for the root cause she was all smiles giving someone Nextdoor Vicodin. Get the CT scan back and said I had a 4cm cyst on my right ovary which for that ovary was pretty much the size it. Next was the dilated left ovary vein. I really have never heard of pelvic congestion syndrome. I went home did more research and decided I was going to follow up with my PCP who said my stomach pains was probably caused by a biological medication I take for a skin condition called humira I was frustrated at this point but she offered an ultrasound. My maternal grandmother different from the one who went to the er with me works for this office. The ultrasound showed the cyst was filled with blood and I was getting blood flow where that vein was. The doctor didn’t call me but my grandmother did with my Results. I’m frustrated as I have always had issues with my periods being abnormal, heavy, and extremely painful. Nobody ever took me serious….and I’m still having a hard time. Any helpful tips/meds you are taking would be greatly appreciated or even someone who could explain in further detail. Do I see an OBGYN for this issue? My finance and I were talking about going where he goes for his liver issues which is 2 hours away and they have a great hospital and doctors.

So I have been dealing with this the past week and it's driving me crazy. My nose will get completely sealed shut from congestion to where I cant breathe at all through it and have to push hard to blow it, and after blowing it I have maybe 30 seconds of slight relief before it's clogged again.
But the weird part is, it only has been happening in my house. If I take my dog on a walk outside or go somewhere else it will go away til I get back home and have been sitting down for a 15-30 minutes. However, it's not clogged 24/7 I'm at home. In the morning it is clear and usually for a couple hours after that.
I'm trying to figure out what has changed in the last week and I can't come up with anything.
Please, for the love of god, somebody help me fix this.ENT help needed. Nose gets completely clogged for the majority of the day - but only in my house.
Other information: I am about 190lb, white, I am on Prozac and Buprenorphine daily (Just switched actually to Brixadi, once a week Buprenorphine shot). I have Seroquel or Trazadone to take if I want to at night. I do use recreational drugs. Pretty much all of them in the past. Recently (Past 14 days) I have done Marijuana, Meth, MDMA, and GHB.
Also - I was taking Zyrtec for about ~5-7 days because I had dry skin (I think eczema) around my eyes and my doctor recommended I take an allergy medication. I'd never had eczema (or anything like it) around my eyes before. Also was putting hydrocortisone cream on it, but it's cleared up. I stopped taking Zyrtec

I had a nasty cough around late FEB. It persisted for about six days. Lots of discharge. Seemed reminiscent of acute bronchitis (that I get once a year, in general). The residuals lasted a few weeks after (coughing with no production) which leads me to think it was pneumonia. Maybe.
Fast forward to the beginning of May and the nasty cough re-surfaced. Greatly elevated levels of discharge and fever the first couple of nights. Bad to the point of getting zero sleep over the first few days. Mid-week, I went in for an X-Ray and the docs said it might be TB which I have since learned is quite prevalent in this country. Did a follow-up CT scan a couple of days later and after the analysis came back, they said it could be either TB or pnuemonia.
The symptoms seem to have dimnished insofar as discharge is minimal (a few times a day, very light in color, practically clea sometimes bubbly) and I sleep more or less without issue. I took a week of broad-spectrum antibiotics after the effects were already diminshing (as directed). My wife now has a dry cough with nasal congestion, something I read is common for female TB-afflicted - this is after enjoying similar symptoms as desrcibed above.
I tried to track the "symptom progression stages" on google but had little luck outiside of "since the early 1700s" etc. For my part, I have not experienced loss of weight, appetite, or any more fevers or night-sweats (the latter in general being somewhat difficult to gauge as I've always been a fan of "sweat it out" - wearing a hoodie and winter pajamas under layers of blankets to nuke my body). I now sleep in my underwear without any current feve night sweat issues.
I'm a 38yr old human male, 173cm, 68kg. 10% body fat. Avid gym-goer (3-5 times a week). 95%+ of my food is healthy home-cooked stuff. I in general don't take any medicine for anything. Very much an "of my own flesh and will" kind of person. Also a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan with 2nd Ranger Battalion (exposed to burn barrels in '06 and millenia-old corpse/ fecal dust in Afghani sandstorms in '13). I've had a chronic light cough since...'13, though the VA docs have checked me and given me the all-clear numerous times since then. My wife, by comparison, takes ALL the meds in every circumstance.
When I DO get sick, it's 7 times out of 10 a lung-issue. Oh! When I was a baby I didn't get no tiddy milk. My wife (Russian) says that's why my immune system is shit. I tell her that tiddy milk laden with crack and meth wouldn't have done me any favors anyhow.

I have always had asthma from a very young age, It was usually a couple of really bad flair ups during the year which would pass within a few days.
However recently (from August) they started getting worse, and they last really long. I got sick from traveling and had laryngitis which made my asthma go off track and even lost my voice for 2 weeks.
I keep thinking maybe that's the reason my asthma is really bad, but i got an x-ray and the doctor said everything looks good. My current asthma flare-up has been going on for about 4 weeks ( recent 2 of which very mild) I have been to the clinic about 4 times this week taking the nebulizer and it makes me feel better, however when I switch back to my ventolin (2 disc puffs) or even try the nebuliser at home ( 1ml ventolin solution + 2ml saline solution) I do not feel better. I have also seen Asthma Specialists who told me its very normal this time of year due to weather changing ( Its horrible here!) and they also told me that there are alot of people like me, but it's still not comforting knowing I am not improving!
They also put me on Montelukast (for 60 days currently been about 2.5 weeks) and also took a course of Prednisolone (40mg for 5 days) which none of which seemed to be helping.
I am also taking Zyrtec allergy tablets every night, also using nasal spray when feeling congested. I sleep with an Air Purifier always and keep it on when I am at home. I clean the air conditioning filters very often too.
Not sure what's left to do at this point!

I was approved on reconsideration in December of 2023 for congestive heart failure and numerous other conditions. Before then, I worked a job mostly full time job, but when I started getting tired I went to the hospital. After much persuasion from the hospital staff, I applied for disability. My filing and onset date were at that time which was October of 2022 and of course 5 months after that, was my entitlement date (April 2023). Because of my heart it was determined my next routine medical review would be in 5-7 years because my condition is not expected to improve.
So I received my first regular SSDI check in January 2024 and have gotten about half of the back-pay (because I wasn't eligible for SSDI the first five months, I guess it was determined I was entitled to SSI those five months, but they've done a great job of confusing the issue of SSI and SSDI backpay and I guess I won't receive the rest until January 2025). But I'm not suffering financially. In fact, I'm doing extremely well- my SSDI is $2000 a month and my expenses end up being less than $800. The rest of my money I mostly invest. Which has been good- I spent a lot of the very depressing time when I was sitting and waiting reading up about investing in stocks and crypto. And I guess I've put what I've learned to good use because my capital gains have been 4 digits this year.
But I don't like to stay at home doing nothing. I've had an offer to go back to work for 8 hours a week- two 4 hour shifts. I've been told accommodations can be made- I only have to run a register during that time. They have also asked if I could pick up the odd extra 4 hour shift on a very infrequent basis. So maybe $500 a month. Physically, this is probably the most I could do on a weekly basis. I've checked with my cardiologist and he is okay with it as long as I don't exceed that. As I said, I don't need to work. I wouldn't even be using the cash- the first 4% would go into the company 401k which they match and the rest into a self-directed Roth IRA. I could use the deferred taxation capital appreciation.
But I keep on hearing about the "12 month rule" and the "24 month rule." I guess I'm not really understanding the entire thing. Should I go back to work? Should I worry about losing SSDI? Before being denied in the first round, every doctor I had said there was no way I could work substantially, but I was denied that first round, although approved at reconsideration. I haven't called my local office yet, but await some advice to see all of my options...

I’m registry. I have been scheduled 9 days and have only worked 1 day in 2 weeks.
The off time is nice but work is necessary for a healthy life balance. I guess I’m either applying to a lot of places soon or just doing something else.
I’m at a 600+ Trauma 1 Medical center for reference.
If anyone has some leads in the SoCal area please send me a DM. I’d love to be full-time. I have a bit over 2 years experience. ICU, ER, transport, Burns, iNO, and of course floors. RT full protocol experience as well.
Thanks y’all.

Ok guys, I need your help. I'm a senior in college who was planning on applying this cycle. After talking to my premed advisor (I know I should take what they say with a grain of salt, but I thought she actually made some points), I'm very heavily considering two gap years.
NJ ORM Female
T20 undergrad, 3.8 cGPA, 3.7 sGPA. MCAT: 520 (128/131/129/132)
Clinical experience: 600 hours scribing in the ER
Research: 800 hours across 3 different labs (wet-lab and nutrition/pop health) with 1 publication
Miscellaneous: director of public health outreach organization, mix of volunteering and independent research (300 hrs), captain of a nationally ranked competitive collegiate dance team (1400 hours), non-clinical volunteering at harm reduction agency (200 hours), pharmacy technician (200 hours), founded undergrad publication related to medical humanities (250 hours), shadowing (50 hours)
4 LORs: 1 science professor (probs pretty generic), 1 post-doc/PI from independent research/EC (very strong), 1 physician i scribe for (glowing bc i wrote it lmao), 1 humanities professor who is also my advisor (strong)
Spending gap year as a CRC at big research hospital in a city. lots of patient interaction compared to desk work.
pros of taking 2 years:

1. I have no experience with direct patient interaction. With scribing, at my hospital the scribes rarely even follow the doctors into the patient rooms. While I've learned so much from the physicians I work closely with and I've seen alot, I haven't actually interacted with a single patient. While writing my personal statement, I began to wonder, wouldn't admissions committees see this as a glorified shadowing/passive experience? Shouldn't I be writing about instances in which I, directly, interacted with a patient and how that interaction confirmed my love for medicine? Of course i can lowkey bullshit on my primary and secondary but it feels so ingenuine idk
   
2. Next year, i have a job lined up that WILL provide me with that direct patient experience. I'll be running patient intake visits alone, taking vitals, collecting cheek and nasal swabs, explaining the study, consenting patients, etc. I think there will be a lot to talk about from this experience. I also will work very closely with my PI, as I am the only CRC in her lab, and would get a letter from her. If I were to take this second year, I'd also volunteer, continue my independent research, etc.
   
3. I want to open as many doors as possible for myself. Of course I'd like to be able to shoot my shot at a few T20s. More importantly, I want to be able to go to a school in a location I like and at a program I feel is a good fit, bc this is four whole years of my life. Taking an extra year off for the potential of having more options feels like a small price to pay. And even if I end up at school in a location I don't like, at least I got to spend an extra year in the city.
   
4. time to travel, explore hobbies, gain more life experience and mature, chill
   

concerns about taking 2 years:
mainly pushing everything back a year, potentially being bored at the job and feeling stuck in a purgatory/waiting period, forgetting how to study from all the time off, etc.
I was completely ready to apply, so this is such a last minute time to be making a decision like this and I am confuseddddd. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions! Thank you in advance!

Hello, beta-readers of Reddit! I'm a novice writer who has recently picked up the pen again. I'm looking to improve upon my writing; but I feel as though I've hit a block reading and rereading and editing myself. I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes and a new perspective might help!
I'm happy to swap stories- I'm open to reading almost any genre- with the caveat that is is paired in some way with fantasy- though I have been known to get sucked into a good sci-fi! I'm not particularly fond of gritty realism or nonfiction, and I'll struggle to get through anything historical or even set in the modern day without a touch of whimsy. I love progression fantasy, and adore a good irreverent protagonist. If you've got an expansive and interesting worldbuilding project you are working on, I'd love to hear all about it and swap ideas! Let me get lost in the universes you've created! Speculative biology is also somewhat of a passion of mine that I've been delving back into as of late, so I'm also happy to help workshop creature designs and descriptions!
I'm seeking critiques on pacing, characterization, dialogue, and I'd love questions about the world/worldbuilding- the story I'm seeking a beta for here is one of three currently set in the same overarching world- though in different time periods/locations. I'm constructing my own magic-system for this world, with the soul and its connection to the mind and body being the core building blocks of this system! I very much enjoy progression fantasy.. but I also dislike hard and fast rules and numbers that quantify the unquantifiable. IF you're into that sort of thing, I have maps, charts, and docs with worldbuilding I'm happy to share- but none of it is necessary to beta this story if that doesn't interest you! I DO have 2 other stories in progress set in the same world, as well- all are currently about the same length.
This will be an adult fantasy romance. The current setting has some semi-modern technological advancements replicated utilizing magic. There ARE some smut scenes I have written- but I can remove them and hold those separately if it isn't something you are comfortable reading!
Trigger warnings: Potential graphic descriptions of violence, medical procedures, or injuries. Heavier themes like sapience/what makes one human may be approached. Depictions of sex, dubious consent, likely a lot of death. Not intended to be a dark/depressing story; but dark/depressing themes are likely to come up/be touched on. Smut scenes can be removed if that proves an issue.
Small part of the story outline/summary I've written is included below.
Wynne is an acolyte and healer in The Order of The Dragon Prime, a secret cult worshiping the Devoured God, Sunnaerus. Her particular branch of The Order is dedicated to researching souls to better understand their composition and power. Having discovered some texts dating back to The Age of Strife hundreds of years prior detailing the creation of certain types of monsters via a process known as ‘soul fusion’, Wynne's branch of The Order is dedicated to studying of the souls of these creatures’ descendants to discover the true power of the soul. They are currently researching a species known as 'Oni' by the locals. Wynne is a low-level member who joined the cult to escape her father, and further her research on healing and souls. She is responsible for the intake, processing, and preparing the creatures for study, harvest and experimentation, as well as healing them after more rigorous procedures and harvests of materials. Despite finding their treatment of monsters barbaric, Wynne is unable to leave without risking her own life and the Oni's, and attempts to keep them as comfortable as possible, often going against or twisting orders to try and better provide for them. Due to her usefulness as a healer, and her good relationship with several of the Elders, she is given some liberties around the facility.
The story begins as Wynne prepares for the intake procedure of a newly-captured Oni- Subject 4.
