Previous part
Before I go on with the story, I wanted to mention that I finally got around to checking my text messages. I shouldn’t be surprised that all of them were furious. I don’t blame them. I’m still distraught about the whole situation. I pretty much lost all of my friends in one day; all because I thought that a little boy’s doll would come to life and... well...
Just, listen to me.
I know that all of this will sound insane. But everything I am about to tell you happened before. I feel like I can’t bring myself to even think of the moment, let alone tell you, but I need to press on. It is time that you understand the moment that everything changed forever—Pete's 11th birthday party.
What happened on that day plays over and over again in my mind. It doesn’t matter that 30 years have passed. Not a night goes by where I am wrenched from my beleaguered sleep and find myself gasping for air in a pool of my own sweat. Years of broken sleep will get to a person over time. And so, I grew agitated and depressed. I was on and off on medication, and in and out of therapy.
Now, I don’t always freak out when I see them in pictures or on display in a shop’s front window. If I keep my distance and they keep theirs, I am fine. I mean, my breathing would quicken, and my heart would pump hard, but the moment would pass, and I’d come back to some level of normalcy. I’ve got my own way to deal with such a situation. I’d close my eyes and count from 100 to zero, deeply breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth, before slowly turning and walking away.
Oh, right. I guess you want to hear what happened.

Pete and his family lived in a massive two-story house with an acre of forestry within their property line. The house was miles outside of town. It was cozy but isolated.
I carpooled with Andy and his parents. We met up with Mark and his dad in the house. Our jaws dropped at how beautiful the house and their property were; none of us had ever been to such a fancy place.
Andy’s mom mentioned in the car that what she heard from the other moms was that Pete’s dad, George, worked as an inventor and toymaker for a company that no one had heard of, and his mom, Wendy, was a stay-at-home mom. She had tried to invite her out for coffee with the other moms. In the end she decided not to. Wendy’s presence was just too off-putting.
“She wouldn’t stop smiling,” Andy’s mom recalled, “and she’d just nod her head without saying anything. Not a word. And she moved in this very odd, kind of funny way, too. Like she didn’t know how to use her arms or legs.”
Kind of like how Pete was on his first day of class.
The family greeted the guests in the foyer with excited eyes and gaping smiles. They were the picture perfect of a 1950s TV sitcom family. Pete had on a blue and yellow checkered suit with a yellow bowtie. George also wore the same style of suit but with a blue tie. His outfit was topped with a tobacco pipe hanging at the side of his mouth. Wendy had on a yellow dress with a blue ribbon tied around her waist, and her flaming red hair rolled up in a bouffant hairstyle.
There were a couple of dozens of us that showed up to the party. Most of the parents came along, too. My mom couldn’t come; she was stuck at the restaurant picking up someone else’s shift. That was to say nothing of her continued fear and suspicion about the whole kidnapper situation. She believed they were still out there, and that the cops had gotten the wrong person.
Everyone was led into a banquet hall where a great feast waited for us. We stuffed ourselves until the buttons on our pants threatened to burst. Fat roasted turkey thighs, mince pies, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes smothered in gravy, a mountain of steaming sweet biscuits. The choices were endless. And the moms and dads enjoyed themselves, drinking the wine that Wendy, smiling emptily and silently, served.
George went around telling stories to anyone who’d be willing to listen. He was incredibly intelligent with a wide breadth of knowledge of world history. He spoke about historical events as if he’d been there himself, describing in such vivid detail of the event’s atmosphere like how the heaviness of grief weighed in the air at Alexander the Great’s funeral procession, and how frigid cold the Russian winter was in 1812 when Napoleon Bonaparte’s army marched towards Moscow.
He showed us a room filled with his collection of ancient artifacts, even an American Civil War-era musket rifle with a Minie ball still lodged inside. But what caught my attention and raised the hairs on my body were three mummies behind a glass case. They were about my height and, judging by the smallness of their faces, they had died as children.
“Why do you have those?” I asked.
George grinned. “Well, why not?”
“Where’d you get them from?” asked Andy.
“Far and near...”
Squinting, Mark stepped up closer to the glass. “Are they real?”
“What do your eyes tell you?”
Together, we pressed our noses to the glass, staring hard at these mummies. Their skin was withered brown, and parts of their yellowed bone were exposed. They stared back at us with dark empty sockets and twisted mouths as though they’d come face to face with something more terrifying and terrible than death. None of the adults with us thought it weird that this family had such a collection. The moms and dads were starting to act a bit giddy and silly; it was the generous amount of wine they’d drunk, probably.
After a tour of George’s mini-home museum, we were led into an adjacent room filled with toys, clowns, dolls, and a bizarre collection of crossbred animals. A full train set wound about the length of the room and over our heads. This was Pete’s playroom, and George had designed every toy. This massive room with all the toys and games was more than what a child could dream of.
Unable to control ourselves, we got our hands on everything; we were a bunch of 10-year-olds after all. We played with the toys and shrieked with laughter. The moms and dads watched us as they drank the wine Wendy was serving them. Before we knew it, time flew by, and the sun had long since gone down. The grandfather clock struck 9 o’clock. But we weren’t tired; we wanted to play some more. So, we were thrilled when the grown-ups nodded and agreed to let us go on.
Shining with happiness, Pete announced that we were to play a special game, even the grown-ups would be involved.
“This game is called Catch the Souls!” he said. “The rules are quite simple. There are two types of players: souls and catchers. The game will be played both in the dark and in the light. Souls are safe in the light and the catchers won’t be able to move. But when the lights are off, souls better find a place to hide for the catchers will hunt you down and bring you to the king—me!"
“Then, how do we know if we’ve won?” I asked.
His eyes darkened as the pupils enlarged. “Well, when you see the sun rise, then you’ll know.” My stomach sank.
Were we really going to play all night?
I looked at the others to see if they also thought this was a ridiculous idea. Much to my surprise, the others buzzed with excitement, even the adults were eager to play. No one wanted to go home just yet. They wanted to play more. And, surprisingly, I wasn’t at all that tired or sleepy either. George ordered for the moms and dads to follow him into another room; they were to put on their “catcher” costumes.
Mark, Andy, and I decided to stick together. We figured that if we could find a good spot to hide out in, we could wait there until the game was over. At the beginning of the game, all the lights were on in every room and hallway, and Pete counted backwards from 100.
My friends and I bolted. We didn’t realize how huge the house was. It was like a never-ending labyrinth. One door would lead to nowhere except a brick wall, or a sudden drop into what looked like a bottomless pit. Andy had nearly fallen into one and was only saved when Mark and I caught him by the arms as he fell and clung desperately to the doorknob.
The hallways echoed with giggles of excitement. But once the lights began to flicker, the whole house plunged into darkness. We hurried into another room. I hid behind a desk, Mark behind a big tapestry, and Andy in the corner of the room squatting behind a tall vase.
We waited.
We held our breath.
A hair-raising scream erupted in another room. Followed by another, then another. Three in succession.
“What was that?” I heard Mark ask, shakily.
“What are you doing?” Andy cried.
Peeking around the corner of the desk, I spotted Mark out from his hiding spot and poking his head out the door. He quickly shut the door and scrambled back behind the tapestry. Before I could ask him what he saw, the door opened. My body instantly went rigid. I was terrified that if I were to move or breathe, I’d get caught. I certainly didn’t want to find out what Pete would do to me.
A tall, shadowy figure with two long pointed ears entered the room. It was a Catcher. It hopped slowly around the room like a rabbit, playing with the leaves of the plants in the tall vase and sniffing around the tapestry. Then it turned its attention to the desk. I scooted back underneath the desk and slapped my hand over my mouth, desperate not to make a sound. I heard it hop into the air before its feet landed gently on the floor right next to the desk. It took a step closer to the spot where I lay in a fetal position. I hoped that I was small enough that it wouldn’t notice me.
Light swept throughout the room. And I let out a breath of relief. We were safe when the lights were on. That was the rule of the game, I reminded myself. I crawled out from underneath the desk and froze as I came face to face with a giant pink bunny. I knew that inside the costume was a classmate’s parent. But there was something off about it, like it had no good intentions. It stared back with large black orbs for eyes. Its large buck teeth dripped droplets of red on the white carpet. Dark red chunks like mushed up beets fell from its mouth.
“Benjie! Don’t just stand there!” Mark pulled me out of the trance, and I ran out with them. At the end of the hallway, we saw another Catcher dressed in a court blue and yellow jester suit and mask.
The lights flickered; one minute warning for us to find another hiding spot. Without looking back, we ran and tried getting into another room. With utter mortification I learned that most of the doors were locked. Not only that, but others only led to dead ends. We went through one door that led to another hallway that stretched on endlessly with rows of doors on either side of us.
Behind us, the bells jingled on the dangling sleeves of the jester’s cap ‘n’ bells. It got closer and closer. Of course, I stupidly looked back. One by one the wall lights went out, and the laughing jester twirled and leapt its way to us.
We came to a door at the end of the hallway, but it wouldn’t budge. Andy banged on it and twisted the knob as hard as he could.
“I want to stop playing this game,” Mark sobbed. He backed into the corner, trembling and crying. A dark wet spot appeared in front of his pants. I also felt something wet and warm trickling down my pants.
The jester was approaching, inching closer and closer by the second. And then, it stopped. It squatted in the dark with its hands under its chin, gazing at us with its harrowing black eyes. The only thing keeping it from capturing us was that the light from a single wall lamp shielded us. Sniffling and wiping his tears away, Mark squeaked, “Dad?” He took a step forward with an outreached hand seeking a sliver of comfort.
“I don’t think he’s your dad,” I said, but my words didn’t reach him. The jester gestured with a single finger for him to come closer.
“I got it! Come on, guys!” Andy cried, happily, as the door finally swung inward with a hard kick revealing a lighted room. I grabbed hold of Mark’s arm, but he shook me off. And I watched in horror as he tugged on the jester’s mask and pulled it off.
It was Mark’s dad behind the mask. His smile was split so wide, I could see his gums bleed and the skin at the corners of his lips had torn. He was foaming heavily at the mouth like a rabid dog.
“Dad...” Mark uttered.
The wall light went out. And that was the last I saw of him.

I’ll have to continue with my story later. I need to eat something. I can’t remember the last time I did. The hunger is gnawing my stomach. There’s nothing in the fridge. I didn’t even get leftovers from my friend’s birthday party. It’s okay. All I need now is to feed this body.

2024.05.28 08:15 unrulygecko Ultimate Ability Tier List
 | Hey guys! Here's my tier list for ultimate abilities. The placements are based on my opinion through 10 years of playing this game. submitted by unrulygecko to heroesofthestorm [link] [comments] Here is my criteria for each tier: S - Overpowered, (almost) always pick this ultimate, can win a fight by itself A - Very good ultimate, pick this most of the time, can turn the tide of a teamfight B - Average, solid pick, will almost always get some value C - Counter or niche pick, can be effective in specific scenarios D - Bad pick, these ults are not useless, but they almost always get less value than the other ultimate F - Useless, gets almost no value, other ultimate choice is better 100% of the time I judged each ultimate based on three things: how consistently the ultimate gets value (are there many scenarios where the ultimate can be used), how impactful the ultimate is (when used, does the ultimate win a teamfight/save someone really well?), and how closely the ultimate competes with another ultimate. For example, Twilight Dream pretty consistently gets value against at least one target, and is very impactful when used. However, Twilight Dream competes with Tranquility, which almost all high level Malfurions take, as Tranquility is a really powerful save tool, especially with the 20 upgrade. As a result, Twilight Dream is not picked very often, and is therefore in C tier. The same can be said for ults like Judgement, Bloodlust, or even something like Mind Control, which in a vacuum are all very powerful ultimates, but they often cannot compete with that hero's other ultimate choice, and are ranked lower as a result Another example: Holy Word: Salvation (Anduin's protect ultimate) gets amazing value when fully channeled, arguably more value than Lightbomb would get. However, it is hard to fully channel, as the enemy team will often have multiple interrupts. Since it suffers in the first criteria (how consistently the ult gets value), it is ranked in C tier. I took into account the level 20 upgrades for each hero when ranking the ultimates, which is why something like Carrion Swarm is in A tier instead of B tier. https://preview.redd.it/89x6j44i043d1.png?width=1140&format=png&auto=webp&s=983d8f0debd5b2abe012184a7af4318dd081b349 Lastly, for those who aren't so savvy with ability icons, I have written out a text version of the tierlist below, written in the same order as the ability icons displayed in the list: S: Bunker Drop, Ancestral Healing, Dragon's Arrow, Entomb, High Five, Mighty Gust, Sanctification, Void Prison, Leyline Seal A: Scarlet Aegis, Apocalypse, Avatar, Blessed Shield, Cleansing Flame, Cocoon, Commander Odin, Warden's Cage, Containment Disk, Crystal Aegis, Devouring Maw, Divine Shield, Durance of Hate, Earthquake, Falling Sword, Frost Blast, Gorge, Horrify, Illusion Master, Lamb to the Slaughter, Leap, Lightning Breath, Might of the Nerazim, Nano Boost, Mosh Pit, Stage Dive, Stay Awhile and Listen, Storm Earth and Fire, Taz'dingo!, Ultimate Evolution, Unleash the Boars, Wailing Arrow, Lightbomb, Carrion Swarm, Octograb, Blink Heal B: Jug of 1,000 Cups, Water Dragon, Lava Wave, Sulfuras Smash, Adaptation, Isolation, Angelic Armaments, Wrath of the Angiris, Archon, Black Hole, Ardent Defender, Army of the Dead, Summon Sindragosa, Ball Lightning, Bellowing Roar, Bladestorm, Blunt Force Gun, Napalm Strike, Bunny Hop, Micro Missiles, Taunt, Counterstrike, Deadly Charge, Crushing Jaws, Demonic Invasion, Disintegrate, Wave of Force, Expulsion Zone, Graviton Surge, Final Strike, Flailing Swipe, Massive Shove, Go for the Throat, Cursed Bullet, Grav-O-Bomb 3000, Robo-Goblin, Hoardapult, Shockwave, Raynor's Raider, Hyperion, Ice Wall, Last Rites, Leaping Strike, Thornwood Vine, Lifebinder, Maelstrom, Summon Ultralisk, Phoenix, Play Again!, Poison Nova, Skeletal Mages, Precision Strike, Pulse Bomb, Purification Salvo, Pylon Overcharge, Rain of Vengeance, Ravenous Spirit, Ring of Frost, Summon Water Elemental, RIP-Tire, Seven Sided Strike, Twisting Nether, Upheaval, Hammer of Twilight, Shadow Fissure, Smoke Bomb, Starfall, Shadowstalk, Stim Drone, Sundering, Suppression Pulse, Slowing Sands, Temporal Loop, The Hunt, Tranqulity, Unrelenting Strikes, Warlord's Challenge, Wrath of the Berserker, X-Strike, Wandering Keg, Valkyrie, Mind Control C: Colossus Smash, Divine Reckoning, Avalanche, Tide of Sin, Bloodlust, Burn Beneath My Shadow, Cloak of Shadows, Combustion, Consume Souls, Dark Conversion, Decimate, Divine Palm, Divine Storm, Dragon Blade, Dragon Strike, Emerald Wind, Evolve Monstrosity, Eye of Horus, Gargantuan, Haymaker, Hinterland's Blast, Holy Word: Salvation, Judgement, Lorenado, Medivac Dropship, Metamorphosis, Null Gate, Nydus Network, Poly Bomb, Putrid Bile, Pyroblast, Rocket Ride, Sacred Ground, Sound Barrier, Strafe, Tormented Souls, Twilight Dream, Triple Tap D: Drakken Laser Drill, Eternal Feast, Furnace Blast, Guillotine, Locust Swarm, Longboat Raid!, March of the Murlocs, Planet Cracker, Resurrect, Shadow Bolt Volley F: Beastial Wrath, March of the Black King, Twin Blades of Fury, Rain of Destruction |
2024.05.27 19:39 Diamondlil1221 Atheist dealing with Religious Trauma
I've been going through some things, and I thought this might be a place to find support. Thank you if you read any of it at all.
I am 30 years old now - I was raised as a Methodist Christian, and devoutly believed until my early 20s. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, which started a line of questioning about the evidence of an omnipotent and benevolent deity. I was already familiar with Christian religious text, but as my doubts crept in, I studied more and more, trying to find answers.
Please note that I loved having a strong faith, feeling that the universe had a plan and things happened for a reason. That was such a foundation of my mental health, it was like the floor was ripped away from me without my choice. I didn't want to atheism at the end of my path, but I did. And as many of you probably know, it's impossible to un-see once you've reached it. You can't choose what you do or do not believe.
I've been working through some of my religious trauma in therapy, but it is difficult because my therapist, while is very hippy, vegan, live-and-let-live, she fails to understand what I have experienced. I once tried to explain this to a therapist of mine, saying “I don’t see myself believing again, it’s like Santa Claus - most adults don’t just decide to believe again once they discover they’re not real.”
Losing faith does not mean that I feel abandoned by God, nor that he has forsaken me. There is no god to abandon me in the first place - I feel the same about God as I do about Santa Claus - which is to mean, nothing.
My therapist responded with “Well, that’s because Santa Claus is so obviously fake." I just wanted to blink slowly in response - I knew that she believed in God, but I thought she understood what it means to be a atheist. Perhaps she sees me as a temporarily "lost sheep," as some of my relatives do. I understand that as a believer, it's easier for them to justify that I don't really disbelieve, but I'm just "angry at God." Again, I'm as angry at any God as I am angry at the Easter Bunny.
Maybe it's part of my trauma, or my own hang-ups, but I get annoyed when people say things like "it wasn't meant to be," because you have to already come in with the assumption that there is cosmic karma and universal harmony. I have no evidence of that, so I cannot have faith in it.
Has anyone else felt like this? Where at one point, you truly did believe in a higher power, but when you lost your faith and the pain that came from that, you are met with "God has not abandoned you" and you want to hit your head against a wall?
Tl;dr I loved being a Christian, had a crisis in faith which lead to atheism, but I still have a spiritual gap in my heart that believers can't comprehend.

I am 30 years old now - I was raised as a Methodist Christian, and devoutly believed until my early 20s. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, which started a line of questioning about the evidence of an omnipotent and benevolent deity. I was already familiar with Christian religious text, but as my doubts crept in, I studied more and more, trying to find answers.
Please note that I loved having a strong faith, feeling that the universe had a plan and things happened for a reason. That was such a foundation of my mental health, it was like the floor was ripped away from me without my choice. I didn't want to atheism at the end of my path, but I did. And as many of you probably know, it's impossible to un-see once you've reached it. You can't choose what you do or do not believe.

~I will always want to share stuff I find interesting with you, and try to share every moment of every day with you. I'm not looking for someone who can only talk for a small amount of time, I want someone who's willing to put in all the effort I put into them back into me, it goes both ways. If I'm "with" someone you are my TOP priority nobody and nothing else would be. You would be the only person I'd truly want to talk to, so rest assured I would NEVER cheat, even more so because no one is interested in me - Hence why I'm here hahaha.
I'm sure there is more to me than this snippet but I cant think of more at the moment haha, so get to know me and find out more about me.

TV Shows & Movies - I love watching shows, and I'd love to stream some shows and have some E-dates with you, to get to know you, or if you are close to me, maybe we could do it in person. Some shows I like or more of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Comedy, Action, stuff like: National Treasure, Halo, BattleBots, Rick and Morty, AHS, Anything Marvel or DC, The Witcher, Wednesday, The Sandman, The Magicians, The Umbrella Academy, ETC.
Gaming - Yes yes I know, Basic guy likes basic stuff. But gaming has been a thing for me since forever. I know most of you wont care or want to hear that, but I'll leave out the specifics on this part unless you are interested in that, MEGA Bonus points if you are.
Here's a lists of Cons to dating me-
~I'm not Ryan Reynolds. Disappointing, I know.
~I will fight you on what goes on pizza lol.
~I'm not rich.., Yet.
~I can't pronounce Worcestershire.
~I'm slightly forgetful, but with good reasoning.
~(Not really a con but- some might disagree) I still have ALL of my firsts, Do with that what you will c:
~I've got an endless pile of love and affection and no one to give it to! What a dilemma! Help me fix it?
Other than that I'll save the rest for a bit more of getting to know each other.
Here's a bit of what I'm looking in you:
~Preferably someone with lots of free time, and loves to chit chat. I'm seriously not interested in getting 1 message a day. Though I understand people get busy, I personally am not willing to try to learn about you and form something with 7 responses a week. Effort gets reciprocated and I appreciate the time you put in me.
~Physically: -I’m not personally attracted to anyone who’s “curvy/ chubby”, I apologize. Not a shallow thing, I just dont have the attraction chemical in my brain for that, I’m sorry. -If you’re shorter than me, thats a plus to me. -I love dimples, if you have those when you smile, bonus points 😊 - I’m not sure what else to put.., but as for nsfw wise find out😂
~I'm a sucker for a different accent other than American, and if you have an Posh English accent you have already won my heart.
~I'm also only really looking for someone within the ages of 18-35. I don't want anyone old enough to be my mom lol.
~I'd prefer (But not a must) people NOT on the other side of the world, as other time zones SUCK. I don't expect to find anyone who also has never had a boyfriend either, but that would be a real plus. I also don't mind a LDR, but I don't want that forever. But it gives us time to get to know each other.
But as for attributes I'm looking for in you:
~Someone who is above all else very very Loyal and would never cheat.
~Someone who is Honest, and will tell me the truth over a little white lie.
~Someone who is Kind & Caring, who'd constantly check on me, and accept me for who I am & help me improve day to day.
~Someone who is trustworthy, and I can count on to keep my secrets safe, or even just help me remember things.., I do tend to be somewhat forgetful.
~Someone who is very Patient and wants to see me succeed and will help me do so, just like I would help you. Even if its small day to day things, I would appreciate your company ANY time.
~I want a partner who is Affectionate, can reciprocate, and loves to snuggle and talk about their day, and what their interests are, and what makes them happy.
~Someone who can admit they get clingy or overprotective is a bonus.
~A partner with good communication is key, if something wrong we have to be able to talk about it.
~A partner who likes to game with me or at least watch me play would be a plus but not a requirement.
~Someone with a good sense of humor and like to joke around, I am a big goof after all and I love to joke around. Sending memes is always appreciated and good to cheer people up too!
~I'd prefer someone with the same music taste, but not a requirement, Plus if you wouldn't mind if I send you love songs occasionally that's a bonus, or sending me some back haha.
~Being willing to voice call is a must, Texting forever is not the way to go. I have to know what your voice is like haha, later on we can video call if you are comfortable with that. I prefer chatting on Discord because Reddit messages of any kind I'm sure you know are unreliable and sucky in general. So please send me your discord if you have one :)
~I would LOVE to see picture of your pets if you have any. Bonus points if it includes your beautiful self haha.
I'm sure there is more I'm looking for but I cant think of it right now haha, I will have to edit this when I think of it.
Please tell me about you as an opener! I told you a good bit about me, now its your turn haha.
Tell me some things like -
~What's your name?
~Where are you from?
~How old are you?
~What are your hobbies / interests?
~What about my post interested you?
~Where is my TV Remote?!
~Selfie? Pet pics?
~Hit me with your best joke or meme :)
~What's your favorite candy?
I'd LOVE to get to know you, and see where things go.
But yeah, I know it was long I'm sorry haha. Send me a message and lets get to know each other! :)

2024.05.27 06:01 xbeebun PSA for those of you watching JOL on youtube and wanting to avoid spoilers
i had a youtube video pop up recommended via the algorithm from a channel called “Bunny Cbiz” titled “Revealing the ending about the sons of Emperor of Qing”. the thumbnail not only visually has spoilers, but also in text.. they just straight up write massive unambiguous spoilers on the thumbnail which would be from the novel???? it really ruined a lot of enjoyment for me. just wanted to save any of you from that as well.

2024.05.26 15:10 AnywhereOtherwise802 [TOMT][middle of 2021][animation serie][Tiktok later YouTube] A serie about factory in liminal spaces that had somewhat corny ending
In or around middle of 2021 I watched an animated series. It started on tiktok but the author's account got banned so it moved to YouTube. Because of that the series was edited from the original tiktok format to the (at the time) standard YouTube 16:9 (or 4:3 idk which one) by taking the tiktoks and slapping them on a png (this was before introduction of YouTube shorts btw). Each episode started with a digitally drawn note.
The serie was about you working in a factory in liminal spaces. First episode was you filing in your application and then walking thought a forest(?) and escaping some sort of monster or creature. I think it had 8-16 episodes at most. There were many characters (mostly) your coworkers. Atleast one of the characters was a pink cat or bunny and other character was designed after one of the planets (probably Saturn or Venus but not entirely sure) and had the planet symbol on their head. Other character was a duck lady I think that got injured or died iirc. There was also like a boss character that was evil. There was also You character. Like the character who's POV you were seeing.
This is how I remember the story going: -you start going to the factory -you get a house nearby -you befriend some of the characters -it is told or implied that someone died in the factory months prior and the boss is trying to cover it up -???? I have no idea what happens after that -you are getting chased by the pink cat or bunny character -they catch you and tie you down -it switches to the author cosplaying the character saying presumably non scripted text -i think there was a badly scripted existentional crisis -there is fake blood and everything -It think you die
If I remember anything else about it I'll add it into the comments

2024.05.26 14:13 XTS_Transport How to get the best Uber driver you'll never have to cancel on you
 | The other day, I was dropping a PAX off when I saw a prompt for a new ride - with a $145 payout estimate. Now, a lot of cats on here would see that an automatic, Bugs Bunny meme-level 'nooooo,' but where others are deterred by the 211 mile unpaid drive back from whence they came, I'm intrigued by the potential for adventure - so before I even knew where we were going, I smashed that Accept button. I wound up taking a man of fifty years to Wildwood to see the ocean for the first time in his life. This man was as excited as a kid going to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time, choking up at the sight of his first ever seagull, and practically running up the stairs to the boardwalk when I encouraged him to just leave his stuff in the car for a minute and go have his moment. By the time I'd parked and caught up to him, he was staring, awestruck and with tears in his eyes, at 50-foot wide manta ray kites soaring above the beach in the sparkling midday sun as waves crashed on the beach across what looked like half a mile of sand. "I can't believe this is real," he'd said. submitted by XTS_Transport to uberdrivers [link] [comments] But I told you that story, to tell you this one. Earlier this morning, I recieved my first ping for the day; we'll call her...'Everlyn.' I found her name unique and interesting, and thought to myself something along the lines of, 'maybe she has a sister named Neveranne.' But as I got onto the highway, headng east...the Sun was coming up in front of me, occluded by hazy clouds. And in the direct, offset sunlight, I could see every imperfection on the glass, every smear and streak, every time I fucking sneezed in the last three weeks...and I had to do something about it. I can't just let my rider stare at that on their way to wherever they're going. So as I got off the highway, 6 minutes into an 8 minute ride to pickup, I pulled into a parking lot and texted Everlyn. 'Be right there, have to take care of something.' I park, pop the frunk, grab my paper towels, and begin frantically wiping the inside of the windshield, and to my delight, it takes me less than 90 seconds to clear almost the entire thing. I button everything up and hop back in the car, grab my phone and text her, 'ok OMW again' - and I notice she's typing back. Just before I get out of the lot and into the street, her message comes through. whats wrong, you making me late Thirty seconds later, I was parked again, wiping my windows down, inside and out and with much more patience, as my phone tried to get me to re-accept Everlyn's very important trip to wherever someone else was going to take her. |
2024.05.25 21:56 Gymratbrony TIFU by ordering a playboy🐰costume from Amazon
Small TIFU, (technically yesterday) so back in January, I got SRS and with my new body I’ve been feeling more confident and ambitious with my wardrobe. With my newfound confidence, I resolved to fulfill a dream I’ve had of dressing up as a playboy bunny. I eagerly ordered a costume, and on the day of the delivery, I went out to DoorDash and then had to go straight to work (closing as a dishie). Unable to grab the package myself, and my partner being out of the house, I kindly texted my partner’s father asking that if he happened to see a package lying around by the front door, if he could bring it inside. (where we live the mailbox is slightly down the road from the front door and it’s a 50/50 split of packages being left in the mailbox or at the door) After texting him, he almost immediately replied that a package of clothes were left by the door and that he brought it in. Thinking nothing else of it, I finished my shift and went home, as soon as I walked through the door I started scanning for the unmistakable white opaque shipping bag from Amazon. Puzzled that I was unable to find it, I walk over to the stairs where my partner’s father sets down their mail where I see to my horror, that the costume is there in a perfectly clear plastic bag, and while it’s been folded up for shipping, it was absolutely unmistakable what it was, and if for some reason it wasn’t clear, then the factory label on the bag would take care of that. My one saving grace was that when I got home, it was around 1am and he was asleep so at least I didn’t have to see him face to face. 😂
TL;DR: Ordered a playboy bunny costume from Amazon, asked my partner’s father to bring the package in the house while I was at work, turns out Amazon decided this ONE time to ship an item in a clear plastic bag, guaranteeing that he saw it. 🤦♀️

2024.05.25 18:19 tennisgirl0716 AITAH for not wanting to be friends with someone I was close with?
The title is kind of hard to convey what happened. Basically, I'm (30 F) in grad school and there was a conference last week and early this week and my classmates and professors went. I also went and I shared a room with this friend (24 F). I'm married but it was a school thing so my husband couldn't come, but he dropped us off at the airport and picked us up, etc. The city the conference was in was the same one that my dad went to school in and he asked me many times if I could spare an hour or two and go visit his campus, and of course I agreed. I asked this friend months in advance (along with several times leading up to the trip and on the trip) if she would come with me (I guess I didn't trust that she would and for good reason). She had always told me yes and it was important bc we're women in a new city and have to take an Uber - it just didnt make me feel safe going alone. Day of rolls around and I had told her several times before that I wanted to go on the last day of the trip bc there weren't many conference sessions I wanted to go, plus I wanted to relax at the pool before my class went to a baseball game (the stadium was a short walk away from our hotel). I texted her asking if she still wanted to go with me bc she had left early that morning and she responds back with, "it depends on the time." Considering I had told her what time I wanted to go at (noonish) and she had already left and gone to sessions, it was clear that she would not be coming with me. I was with other friends when I got her text and my immediate reaction was emotional and they asked me what happened, in which I told them her exact response, and let them make up their own minds. They decided to go with me and I was too angry to respond to her, so I didn't. I didn't want to say something in anger and make it worse. She continued texting me trying to illicit a response out of me. I had told my best friend (28 M) what had happened and he's super trustworthy and didn't spill anything, and then I had told another mutual friend (23 F) asking for advice but I never told her who the friend was, she just happened to piece it together.
The original friend (24 F) also has a pattern where she asks me to pay for things and doesn't pay me back. On this trip she owed me $228 ($127 of that is what I paid for her bunny's boarding after we flew back home and I was still mad at her, but her card declined) and she said she would pay me back in the morning bc she had been drinking and didn't want to send a large amount of money. I only told our mutual friend about the money bc of her pattern of not paying me back and the fact that I was sitting next to her in class, after the time she said she would pay me back and she was on Facebook marketplace and ignoring me in school, so I couldn't talk to her about it. On this phone call the night before, I had told her how upset I was and we fought and she told me that she knew I was mad and she wasn't going to feed into it bc she didn't do anything wrong and had told me "it depends on the time" and then told me that she saved a 2 hour block for me for us to go, which she never told me until that phone call an entire day later, after we had already flown home. She also refused to apologize bc "she didn't do anything wrong" and "it was a misunderstanding". She refuses to admit that she went back on her word, which to me she absolutely did, bc even if she said it "depends on the time" every time I had asked her previously she said "yes." The fact that she even sent that went against what she told me before.
I know that if the roles were reversed I wouldn't have said "it depends on the time" I would've said "absolutely! I'm free at this time, can we go then?" Or something like that. And she never said anything like that. When she kept texting me it was as if going to my dad's school was off the market. She was texting me about going to a session with her and about our flight. I also would have absolutely apologized if roles were reversed because I knew it was important.
Now she's coming off as really hurt because I didn't go with her and she's mad I brought money into it to "strengthen my argument" but it was a legitimate concern that she wouldn't pay me back, since there is a past precedent (my husband and I discussed and we know she has financial troubles so we didn't ask about the dinners or the ice cream but this is just too much money). To be honest, I don't know if I want to be friends with her anymore. She sent me a text yesterday accusing me of portraying her in a bad light and that she "tried very hard to be kind" lol. I was with people at the time I got her text, and even then I still told them exactly what she said and that we had had an agreement to go.
TLDR; friend agreed to go with me somewhere important to me, then day of says "it depends on the time" and is now seemingly changing the story to make it seem like she is the victim.

2024.05.25 06:41 TheRealBomberTheBoss FNaF Lore Questions (plz help me) Part 1/2
I've been viewing a lot of FNaF lore videos and wanted to see if I could try and help out, but I found more questions than answers. My friend said that y'all know more about FNaF than actual reddit, so plz help me.
submitted by TheRealBomberTheBoss to GameTheorists [link] [comments]
FNAF 1
Did the bloody handprint on Freddy's face ever get solved?- Like was that just an easter egg, or was there actual significance to it?
- I know IT'S ME is Golden Freddy's whole shtick, so why was it on the sign for Pirate's Cove? I remember reading that it was 'proof' that Foxy was actually good and Golden Freddy was the reason he's out of order. They didn't have good evidence for it, but is that the general consensus?
- I know at the end of the game that the year read XXXX, but did that ever get changed? I know Game Theory's first video said it was in 1993, but did that get unconfirmed at some point?
- Was this just Scott running out of time when developing, or was there some kind of reason for it?
FNAF 2
Two Golden Freddys?- What I mean is that there's the GF that spawns in you're office and you have to put on the mask. But, there's also the massive GF head that spawns in the hallway. (I always called him Spirit Golden Freddy) Is there a reason why there's two of them?
- In the SAVE THEM minigame, where you can walk around the restaurant, you can find 5 dead kids. But, there's also a chance that GF will spawn. When you approach him, his eyes light up and he disappears. Does this mean he's already possessed? If so, how come nobody else is? Was he stuffed pre-MCI?
- Like, was there a reason for this? Why is Mangle just taking a casual stroll when everyone else is deactivated?
- I've seen a lot of people saying it was Mangle, but if you typed 1987 in the custom night in FNAF 1 it gave you a Golden Freddy jumpscare. I know Mangle wasn't created at that point, but would Scott just simply throw that out?
- Phone Guy himself says that the Freddy mask won't fool it, and that it's always 'thinking'. But, why? I know they were killed outside the restaurant and couldn't have been stuffed inside the Puppet, but how does that make them smarter?
- Like, why does Shadow Freddy just sit in the back thinking about life, whereas Shadow Bonnie causes my game to crash? I get that Bonnie has always been the aggressive one, but, seriously, c'mon dude.
- Why does Shadow Bonnie look like Toy Bonnie, whereas Shadow Freddy looks like Golden Freddy's purple twin brother? I'm pretty sure it was just Scott like: "Eh, it's a 1/10,000 chance. I'll just CTRL C+CTRL V with a purple twist." But, was there some kind of lore explanation?
- I'm sure the reason it goes from Jeremy to Fritz is because Jeremy was the victim of the Bite of 87, but I just want to double-check with you guys.
FNAF 3
Two Puppets?- On CAM 8 there's a chance you can see the Puppet. They cast a reflection in the water so we know they're physical, but then how come there's the same puppet mask on the wall? It's got the tear marks on it, so it can't just be another restaurants puppet. Unless Fazbear Entertainment just put tear marks on all of them following the incident?
- In the last night of the FOLLOW ME minigame, you play as the spirit inside of Freddy and follow the Puppet to the room with Purple Guy. That would mean the spirits are the Puppet, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. But, where's Golden Freddy? Happiest Day shows 6 six kids, so did they not care?
- Okay, this is something that I NEED to know. So, Purple Guy is just chilling back in the safe room (presumably playing Donkey Kong on the arcade machines) until he hears one of the animatronics trying to enter the room. Doing what any human being does when pulled away from their hardcore gaming sesh, he obliterates the robot. Repeat 3 more times for extra flavor.
- THEN, when confronted by the spirits, he comes up with a brilliant plan to jump into the withered Spring Bonnie suit (probably manically laughing about his plan based on his game sprite).
- First off, why was he just chilling in the safe room? If the plan was to destroy the robots why wait in the safe room? Was he somehow working with Shadow Freddy? Purple Sprites Unite? If not, then was he just waiting for them to show up? How'd he know they come one at a time? The buildings clearly seen better days, so how'd he know the whole 'safe room is invisible to the animatronics' thing didn't get busted?
- Also, after the destruction of Foxy why'd he STAY in the safe room? He clearly didn't know ghosts existed, so he couldn't have been waiting for Golden Freddy. Was he waiting for the Puppet? Wait, what HAPPENED to the Puppet?
- I know this is probably me just overthinking, but I'm genuinely curious as to what this dude's plan was.
- On Night 1, Phone Dude says: "Glad you came back for another night!" But, this is night one. How long have we been there for?
- What I mean is that even after you get the Good Ending, you don't see the Golden Freddy head. So, is Golden Freddy still pissed? Is it because they weren't there when Purple Guy got springlocked, or...? Also, no matter what ending you get, the Puppet mask is never shown. So, are they around even after the Good Ending? If so, why show them move on in Happiest Day then?
- Okay, either this dude is an idiot or is following the Fazbear business model to closely. First off, not only did just NOT notice the rotting corpse in the Spring Bonnie suit, but he put it just lying against the entrance? So, when you first walk in you just see (and smell) this rotting bunny corpse. Not gonna try and rope it off or put it behind glass, so little kids to try and touch it?
- Secondly, this dude KNEW that the building catching fire was real risk but DIDN'T get some kind of insurance? If he DID, then those 'salvaged items' wouldn't have been put up for auction.
- Lastly, was the entire attraction just to walk through a building looking at broken and destroyed remnants of Freddy Fazbears? Or was it to remind people of the tragedy that took place there? Like: "Remember Freddy Fazbear's Pizza? Remember when 5 kids went missing there? Well, come on down to Fazbear's Fright to experience what those parents did when they realized Lil' Jimmy wasn't anywhere to be found! That and more only at Fazbear's Fright! Call 1-800-FRIGHT to book your tickets now!"
FNAF 4
Different Bedrooms- The bedroom you're in when playing the minigames is vastly different than the one you play in. Is that just a stylistic choice, or is it trying to imply that the kid in the minigames isn't the one you play as in the actual game?
- I thought Mangle was something that the staff called Toy Foxy because they kept getting, well, mangled. Did...did they start selling toys of Mangle? Or, was the little girl just pulling a Sid from Toy Story?
- Seriously, he appears in every location besides Fredbears. However, we can still hear his voice clearly, so did Scott run out of time? Or, is he more than just an imaginary friend?
- Friendbear (that's what I call the Fredbear plush) states "What did he do this time? He locked you in your room again. Don't be scared, I am here with you." In the very first minigame. But, he doesn't say anything when the Crying Child is locked in Parts & Service on Night 4? He might not be present, but he's shown he can still talk to him inside Fredbear's Diner.
- He also warns the Crying Child to not get caught by the guy in the Fredbear suit. But, why Fredbear? As far as we know the only thing he's done is the Bite of 83, which obviously couldn't have happened at that point in time.
- Lastly, he tells the Crying Child to go PAST the animatronics on stage to find help: "You can find help if you can get past them. You have to be strong." Does this mean that Friendbear is warning the Crying Child of the dude INSIDE the Fredbear costume, and not the suit itself? But, he 'catches' him at the end of the minigame and doesn't do anything, so...?
- Is there so type of reason there's no Nightmare Spring Bonnie? I know there's Plushtrap, but I wouldn't call that the Nightmare version of the character. Also, the Crying Child doesn't even have a plush Spring Bonnie, so does he just think Spring Bonnie is mid or something?
- Did this ever have an explanation besides Dream Theory? Don't get me wrong, Dream Theory is EXTREMELY compelling, but I want to know if this got changed later. Like, is the story being told out of order or something? Like FNaF 4 is the first chronologically and FNaF 3 is the last?
- So, are the Halloween animatronics canon? I'm pretty Scott said they weren't, but then they show up in UCN and Help Wanted. So, which is it?
Sister Location
Where does Elizabeth start and Baby end?- So, it's actually confirmed that Elizabeth is possessing Baby in Pizzeria Simulator, but Baby constantly refers to Elizabeth as a separate entity. Like:
- "I still hear her sometimes. Why did that happen?"
- "Isn’t this why you came here? To be with her again?"
- To be fair, that second line came from Ennard, but I'm pretty Baby was the mouthpiece for them until Pizzeria Simulator. Baby also states that: "There is something bad, inside of me. I’m broken. I can’t be fixed." So, what's happening? Is it because Baby's AI is fighting with Elizabeth's spirit or something? Baby does refers to the weird green chip in her right arm as 'her'. She does also say on Night 5: "Something bad happened yesterday. Something bad always happens. I don’t want it to happen again." I'm pretty sure she's referring to the killing of the two workers, but is she trying to say that was Elizabeth or something?
- After being kidnapped by Baby, we're thrown in a springlock suit that Baby says was quote: "...that came from my old pizzeria. I don’t think it was ever used; at least, not the way it was meant to be used. Too dangerous. It’s just big enough for one person to fit inside, but just…barely." The only Funtime that faceplates look like is Ballora, but it can't be her since we see her get scooped right in front of us. So, is this some secret fifth Funtime? Baby implies it never managed to scoop any kids, but then says it's 'too dangerous'. Is this the animatronic where Ennard's faceplate comes from? Some weird clown/puppet/jester thing?
- I remember seeing this mentioned in a Game Theory video along with Chica's Party World. I know Chica's Party World seems to have some kind of relevance, but what about the institute? Was that ever figured out? Is the acronym Charlie Robotics Management or something?
- I know that we're Michael looking for Elizabeth, but Hand Unit does say things like: "...due to your lackluster performance yesterday, your pay has been decreased by a substantial amount." So, we're getting paid? But, what exactly is our job? It's not a technician since Hand Unit also says: "Due to unforeseen malfunctions from today’s shows, your nightly duties will require you to perform maintenance that you may or may not be skilled enough to perform. It became necessary for technicians to attempt to disconnect Funtime Freddy’s power module." Implying that we aren't a technician, so what are we? The manager or something?
- As mentioned prior Hand Unit says that the technicians tried to disconnect Funtime Freddy's power module, however they were unsuccessful, and that: "Allowing them to try again would be an inefficient path forward, as we would need to allow ~six to eight weeks for recovery and physical therapy.~" The power module is just some disc, why would they need to 6-8 weeks of physical therapy for that? Also, why wouldn't WE need that? Is the disc laced with something and we're the only person who can wear gloves?
- Hand Unit says on Night 2 after attempting to shock Baby that he needs to reboot the system, and the certain functions may be offline. One of which being oxygen: "Various other systems may be offline as well, such as security doors, vent locks, and oxygen." Why would oxygen be going offline? Is this place pressurized? Why would it be pressurized? Are we under water or something? Or am I just overthinking a joke?
- Baby states on Night 2 that: "Ballora will not return to her stage anymore." And later on Night 4 that: "Ballora never learns, but I do." Funtime Freddy and Foxy don't get this kind of shade thrown at them by Baby, so why does Ballora?
- It seems pretty obvious to me that Vlad is a stand in for William Afton and Clara is a stand in for Mrs. Afton. But, what's up with the whole 'the baby isn't mine' thing? Is Scott trying to say that Baby isn't ACTUALLY his animatronic? That Elizabeth isn't his biological daughter? The baby in question is referred to as a boy, so is Michael not his kid? If so, then why is Clara so adamant that the 'baby' is his?
- Another thing I found weird is that Clara is sets the house on fire, is that a possible FNaF 3 reference? Or, am I reading to much into things?
- Lastly, I wanted to note that Clara & Vlad actually stay together at the end of the show, but as the show states: "As the hair on the back of a cat stands up straight, so also does the love between Vlad and Clara stand up against all obstacles, but what about the baby? What about the bad child support? Stay tuned next season for all those answers and more." Was this Scott hinting at the fact that Pizzeria Simulator was gonna answer these questions? Though, these episode only plays during the Fake Ending, so who knows.
- I've seen people say that the device Friendbear is holding is Walkie-Talkie, but it has 16 buttons and a dial. Isn't more likely to be something like a camera switcher? Also, does the fact that the code 1983 pulls up hidden cameras in the FNaF 4 house confirm that it takes place in 1983? Or that just the gameplay section of FNaF 4 takes place in 1983?
- Is the fact that the hardest difficulty for Sister Locations Custom Night literally called Golden Freddy have some kind of lore significance? Or, is it just a reference?
- It was my understanding that Sister Location took someplace in the middle of the timeline, but I see people saying that it's actually prior to the start of Freddy's. I thought it wasn't opened until after Freddy's closed down as said by Hand Unit.
- It's stated that Michael was sent down there by William...somehow. But, what exactly was his plan? According to Michael he was tasked with 'putting her back together' and successfully managed to do it too. As seen in the line you get at the end of Golden Freddy Mode on Very Hard: "And I found her. I put her back together, just like you asked me to. She's free now." So, was the plan to free the Funtimes? Why not do that on Night 1?
- Secondly, how'd he 'put her back together'? All they did was steal his body and live as him for about a week. Also, if Sister Location takes place after FNaF 3 (as seen by ruins of Fazbear Fright), then does that mean we AREN'T playing as Michael in FNaF 3? Because if so, that would that Michael tried to burn Springtrap, went down to the bunker to 'free' his sister, and then...felt a great disturbance in the force that his father was actually alive? It just makes Michael seem like an idiot.
- Finally, after realizing his sister IS inside of Baby why'd he just go home and eat popcorn? Did he just spend four nights kicking the can down the road? Just thinking 'Eh, I'll free her tomorrow."
- Following up on the convoluted/weird plans, Baby decides to wait until Night 5 before thinking it's the time to leave. Why'd they wait until "William" showed up to do so? Baby doesn't give any real suggestions toward having a vendetta, and they clearly capable of snatching the workers. As seen with Michael getting kidnapped and killing the technicians. Wait, why DIDN'T they scoop the technicians? That's two fresh bodies right there! Did they NEED "William" for their plan? Why?
- Baby does mention that they've managed to escape before, but always get caught. But, that doesn't clear up why they specifically need "William". All we get from her is: "If we looked like you, we could hide." Are the technicians, like, half robot or something?
- Lastly is implied that Baby managed to get all the Funtimes scooped so they could come together an form Ennard. Why would Circus Baby's ALLOW that to happen? They just, essentially, destroyed their products! They RENT out their robots, how are they gonna explain that? "We're sorry! All our entertainers are having their insides scooped out at the moment. Please call at a different time."
Pizzeria Simulator
What is paragraph four?- This is something Cassette Man bring up a lot throughout the game, but did we ever figure out what that was? The best I could find was Paragraph 4 on the lawsuit you could get which reads: "Her family suffered severe mental trauma from the sight of their loved one on the ground complaining." Did we ever find a better explanation for it?
- My best guess is that it stands for Child or Children. Mainly because it says that "Must remain connected to central server at all times or risk inaccurate represented population. Audio controlled by central server." I'm pretty sure this is what Cassette Man used to lure the animatronics to the pizzeria, but I wanted to double-check.
- I'm sure that the Completion Ending is the true ending, but do the other endings just get swept away? I find it funny that there's someone that FAZBEAR ENTERTAINMENT considers a liability risk. Or, is it like the books? Were, while not directly linked towards the one true canon, give us important elements to the overall story?
- Cassette Man says during his speech that "And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you..." So, who WAS it intended for? It was my understanding that we played as Michael, but did he not show up? Then, who're we playing as? The only person I could really think of as someone who'd stay and burn with everyone is Mrs. Afton? I guess? Or, was it that we do play as Michael and it just intended for someone else? If so, who?
Who is SAVE HIM about, then? - The FNAF 2 minigame SAVE HIM is, presumably, the Puppet telling us to save the little boy from being killed. But, we learn from Cassette Man that it's actually his daughter, it even shows a picture of the same minigame. So, who is the Puppet telling us to save? William Afton? It's the same voice that tells us to SAVE THEM, so is it Charlie telling Michael to also save his dad....? What kinda anime protagonist is she?
- The requirements to get the Lorekeeper 'Ending' are go to the secret are in Midnight Motorist, see the death of Charlie in Security Puppet, and get the secret dialogue from beating Fruity Maze. Is there some connection between these three games? Like from a timeline perspective?
- As Cassette Man states: "I'm sorry to interrupt you Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name..." Why wouldn't she remember? William Afton talks like he still has his memories. The Puppet acts like their still, somewhat, human. Why wouldn't Elizabeth remember? Is due to how long she was down in the bunker?
- Why does the color of the text go from blue, to yellow, back to blue? Are there two people talking? Is there anyone represented by blue?
- Frankly, this minigame gives me a headache, so if someone could link me a Youtube video explaining it that'd be swell :)
- What's the major significance of these stories? I've seen people say that they're all about Michael, but none of the stories have the same set-up. Sure, they all end up with five things becoming one, but how that happens is different for each story.
- The first has a woman wanting to save 5 kids, but ends up killing them all by melting the keys together.
- The second has a young boy and his pet red snake, who finds 5 kittens in a shoebox. He KNOWS the snake will kill one, so he thought of giving one kitten to the snake to satisfy it, but he couldn't choose between the kittens. He leaves the cage open, and the snake eats a kitten every night; the boy, full of sorrow, cuts open the snake, pieces the remains together and puts 'the kitten' in a shoebox.
- The last story has a kind man who'd always bring toys and 'gladness' to 5 orphans. Fearing a burglar might break into one of their homes, he adopts all 5 of them. He comes back from the store only to realize the burglar chose his home and killed all 5 of the kids. He could only afford one coffin, so he stitched all 5 bodies together and buried 'the child'. The story ends with a knock on the door.
- While these stories all end with 5 things becoming 1, the set-ups are way to different to simply brush off.
- Is there a lore reason for this? Is he stupid?
- During the whole Connection Terminated speech, the vent screen shows a rectangular like shape with a square inside. However, once Cassette Man says: "You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach." The square disappears. Is this implying that the FNAF 4 box is now empty? That whatever was inside it is now gone?
Ultimate Custom Night
Three William Aftons?- I know that the general consensus is that we're playing as William Afton, but then why are Springtrap and, well, William Afton selectable characters? I can understand Springtrap from a developing stand point, he was the main villain of FNAF 3, but why add Scraptrap? It's not like anybody was loving his design anyway. And there's technically FOUR William Aftons if you think Phone Guy is ALSO William Afton.
- The active characters are the Core Four, the Toy Versions of the Core Four, Balloon Boy, the Puppet, Springtrap, Baby & Phone Guy. Is this suppose to hint towards that the person from FNAF 1, 2, 3 & SL we're the same person? So, we'd play as Michael for those four games?
- The animatronics who talk about The One You Should Not Have Killed are Jack O' Chica, Mangle, Nightmare Freddy, and Withered Chica. Any kind of relationship that can be seen between these four?
- If you managed to get the secret voiceline from Orville Elephant you'll get: "He tried to release you. He tried to release us. But I’m not gonna let that happen. I will hold you here. I will keep you here. No matter how many times, they burn us." My best guess is the he in question is Cassette Man from FNAF 6. However, the second half of that quote seems like they got burnt more than once? By who? And why? Michael?
- Also it makes it sound like the Vengeful Spirit isn't keeping him in purgatory, but rather keeping him...alive? Trapped in some kind of never-ending nightmare, I think. Mainly because of the use of the word 'tried'.
- Something that confuses me is the line from the Puppet that goes: "I don’t hate you, but you need to stay out of my way." But, how is William in their way? He's in some kind of purgatory, isn't he? Is the act of him dying somehow get in her way?
- Something else I noticed was that it seems like some of the other animatronics aren't simply apparitions, but rather other spirits. Some quotes include:
- Withered Bonnie: "What is this new prison? Is it me trapped, or is it you? Perhaps it’s us both."
- Mr. Hippo: "...perhaps I met a demise of my own at some point and…this is my afterlife or my dream. Whatever it might mean, I…I honestly don’t know."
- Ballora: "These are strange circumstances, that have brought us together."
- The only reason I could think of is that the Vengeful Spirit doing this is because they need to use the other kids to maintain this weird dream/purgatory/alternate reality thing. Like, using them as some kind of...battery? Like, using their sadness (or something idk) as a power source? It's a massive leap, but it's the only reason I could come up with for WHY they'd do that.
- This may just be me, but I swear I can hear a child's undertone in Nightmare Fredbear's voice. It's most apparent in the "We know who our friends are, and you are not one of them." voice line.
- I'm pretty sure that it's basically taken as canon that the Vengeful Spirit is Golden Freddy. But, why wait till after the FNAF 6 fire? We know Golden Freddy CAN find peace without the whole 'purgatory' thing, as seen in FNAF 3, so why do they need it now?
- I've seen people state that the Toy Chica stories are about how William killed the 5 missing kids, but if so, why are there seven people killed? The cutscenes show 6 students get killed and 'stuffed' (eh? eh?) into her backpack. But, at the very beginning she already has Foxy's hook in her bag. Implying he's already been killed. Is it trying to say that William already had 1 kill before killing 6 more kids?
- What exactly is this supposed to be about? Freddy tries to stop Foxy, only to cut to Foxy being "Hmph! You fool, I knew that you knew that I knew that you knew all along, all along, ALL ALONG!" and then Mangle goes "You really gottem good, boss!" But, like, what's actually supposed to be getting shown here? I'd assume Foxy is William (the one who always gets away), Freddy is Charlie trying to track him down, and Mangle is...Elizabeth, I guess? I'm sure there's a better version out there, but this is just my conclusion.
- It seems like OMC is trying to be some kind of parental figure/mentor towards the Vengeful Spirit saying: "Leave the demon to his demons. Rest your own soul. There is nothing else." Naturally, the Vengeful Spirit goes "lol no" and proceeds to DROWN THEMSELVES. Am I reading the room right? Or, is there some deeper meaning I'm not getting?
- My friend said that these represent the duality of justice? Like, save the innocent or punish the guilty. I think they're reading WAY to deep into this, but I'd like to know if I'm the odd one out.
2024.05.25 04:12 TriceraTipTop Winner is the Judge #803— Novelty Weapons!
Thank you for u/Tricky_Hades for judging last week’s contest!
The theme this week is to make a card featuring a novelty weapon! Some examples of cards fitting the theme are [[Field-Tested Frying Pan]], [[Hot Soup]], [[Candlestick]], [[Armadillo Cloak]], [[Gallant Pie-Wielder]]. I’m arbitrarily naming cards like [[When Fluffy Bunnies Attack]] and [[Frog Tongue]] as vaguely straying into a grey area.
It can be any card type, as long as some novelty weapon is the standout feature of the card. The focus is to take a unique/ interesting / enjoyable concept, and translate it into rules text & gameplay that represents the concept in a flavorful way. Making a card that’s memorable and has emotional impact (funny, shocking, horrifying, cute, sorrowful, etc) is important. Fun & interesting gameplay is also a big plus! IMO, some of the example cards do a great job with these criteria, while some fall very short.
Submitted cards that are imbalanced as-is might get a pass if I feel it can be quickly rebalanced by ballpark tweaking the numbers. But unfun play patterns that tend to emerge from the core mechanical concept will be considered a major issue.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with! I’ll pick a winner 5/31.
Have fun y’all!

2024.05.24 21:18 Sp1dercerd0 Everyting Stays: Episode Analysis (But I didn't forget the text this time)
 | Context: Last week or so, I published a post called Everything Stays (Episode Analysis) which contained no text, I added all the text and then it didn't appear on the post for some reason, it was one of my first posts, so I don't really understand how Reddit works yet. Anyways, here's the episode analysis: submitted by Sp1dercerd0 to adventuretime [link] [comments] Disclaimer: I'm not a native speaker, so my english may or may not be broken, please excuse me for that. https://preview.redd.it/azqk48xocf2d1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5280e79c2587f02af6d0e8e0a4372d866079f3a Everything Stays This has always been one of my favourite episodes from the entire series. Obviously, part of reason is because of how much Marceline's backstory it brings to the table, but I also think that the way it presents this information and the beauty of the episode's scenes makes it an absolute masterpiece. 0. The Set Up At the start of this episode, Marceline is about to be executed by some farmers who accuse her of a crime she didn't comitted, this presents the theme of Marceline being prejudged, which is one of the multiple themes explained in the episode and more importantly, it presents what will be explored in the episode and how, that being, the life of Marceline in form of flashbacks as she sees it pass before her eyes. https://preview.redd.it/h6yaqqrxcf2d1.jpg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c3786a0262394e40bdccbd968b8a05644d0638f 1. Marceline's Mum In this first scene we see a younger Marcy than we have ever seen before, and almost instantly learn without being explicitly told, both that Marceline is half human and that her first years took place before The Great Mushroom War. In the flashback we see Marcy having a quotidian scene with her loving mother, who sings to her the titular song "Everything Stays" introducing the central theme of the episode and also on a more subtle way showing that Marceline's love for music that will accompany her during all her "life" comes from her mother. https://preview.redd.it/qvjfwai0df2d1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7d821008bc0778e2816c51a778373ff142af380 2. Marceline's Dad Next, we see what's probably the most brilliant scene in the show, as we see Simon recording what will later become the final message of her darkest tape that we see in Holly Jolly Secrets, just to then laugh and act like everything is perfectly okay on a series of events that is somehow both funny and devastating at the same time. Which is something that also characterizes another 2 previous scenes centered around Simon/Ice King. The first being in Holly Jolly Secrets when after Finn, Jake & BMO discover her "darkest secret" he says while crying: Now, you now my secret... I wore glasses. And the second being almost at the end of Simon & Marcy: Marcy: I love you Simon. Simon: I love you... Gunther. Anyways, back to Marceline, here we can see her packaging Simon's stuff, as he's planning to abandon her because of his fear to hurt her, just like, as we learn in Obsidian, her mother did. Here we can start seeing how everything seems to repeat in Marceline's life. Before moving on to the next scene, I wanna point out two more things. The first being a beautiful metaphor of the damage The Ice Crown has done to Simon & Marcy as Simon tries to dry off a tear on Marceline's face but ends up freezing it and scratching Marcy's face. And the second being a very emotional line of dialogue that ends up paying off 995 years later and 3 seasons earlier than when it's pronounced, in I Remember You: Marcy: Please, let me go with you, Simon, I can help. Simon: Yes, maybe some day you will (...) And after Ice King abandons Marceline and his past identity as Simon to create the Ice Kingdom, the screen fades in black and we move on to this episode's third act. https://preview.redd.it/ahb4znz2df2d1.jpg?width=307&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a4b3056cc5b13167d1121444d1e679d659dcc72 3. Marceline's Revenge Up until this point, Marceline has always been a victim to what happened around her, she lost her mum to The Mushroom War and her dad to The Ice Crown, (and also her fries to her pathetic imitation of what a father should be). But not anymore, now she wants to revenge on the world, but instead of becoming evil or selfish, she wants to fight against the unfairness that harasses Ooo and the last humans, and at this point in time that's very obviously: The Vampire Race. The scene starts with Marceline running, but the expression on her face tells us that she's not running from any threat, she's the one chasing her prey, she also has the most badass aspect she's ever had in the entire show, with her hair cut short and shaved by the sides, her Bass-Axe on her back and a stake on her hand, eventually she steps on an Oozer, a creature that used to terrorize her and be the bane of her existance (as seen in Simon & Marcy) and she is... disgusted by that pathetic creature. (Everything stays, but it still changes.) Fast forwarding a bit, after she stabbs The Fool, we see some great examples of the visual storytelling of this episode, as we first see Marceline sucking The Fool's soul and gaining his flight and we instantly learn just by her facial expressions and without a single piece of dialogue that she didn't know she could that, and then when she makes a mark on her bass-axe that is already full of them we learn she's been into vampire hunting for a while now. Actually, I lied there are pieces of dialogue spread out throught this scene, first Marcy says: Cool... After she learns to float, and then after making a mark on her bass she says: Music for mi ears. And despite being completely alone this dialogues sound so natural that I even forgot they were there, which is to show the level of polishment and perfection each of this scenes has. 4. Marceline's Struggle After seeing Marcy's demonstration of power, we get to see her struggle again when a group of the last humans, which she is trying to protect, confuse her with a vampire and are scared of her, which increases Marceline's trauma and ultimately pays off in Obsidian when she sings "Monster". She even says: You don't have to be scared, I'm a very good person. to Bunny Girl when she runs away from Marcy. Which I see as Marceline trying to convince herself of those words as she starts to doubt her own morality. At the end they accepted her, after she sang them a song, tho it was probably more due to the fact that if she wanted to attack them she could have done way earlier. https://preview.redd.it/pcfxdz85df2d1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f7548977bd0e5591297d0422acd46efaf98fd74 5. Marceline's Newfound Family At the beginning of this final arc, we see Marceline chilling with her puppy while walking throught the forest and playing her bass. She has a new haircut which works both to show the pass of time, and, in my opinion, also to represent a change on her life/mentality. This interpretation might be a bit of a stretch, but I think hair represents protection and shaved hair represents emotional unstability or a mentally unhealthy lifestyle/attitude. If this is true, the only other moment I can recall it being used in the series is in Obsidian, when Marcy is wearing shaved hair on the flashbacks and not on the "current day". When Marcy is peacefully walking in the forest she "suffers a vampire attack", from Bunny Girl, their interaction shows how much Bunny Girl trusts Marcy, in the campfire scene it is shown that Bunny Girl talks as little as posible, however, we can see in this scene how she has no problems whatsoever in talking to Marceline. During this interaction Bunny Girl tells Marcy that she should wear an animal hat, which could be interpreted as she wanting Marcy to officially become part of the group, since all of them wear one, and Marcy rejecting to put one on would show her reticence to become to attached to them, caused by her abandonment issues. I believe Marcy sees Bunny Girl as a younger (and luckier) vesion of herself, and Two Bread Tom as her Simon. The difference between the two pairs are that Two Bread Tom's glasses are not broken, and that they're not alone, this human tribe is all Marceline ever wished to have and that's why she will protect them with her life. Fast forwarding again, after Marceline defeats Hierophant, The Vampire King arribes, and despite this working more as a cliff-hanger to the next episode than as a conclusion to this one, what Marceline does here, showcases perfectly how much she's grown as a person since the beginning of her life up until this point. She tells her new family... to leave. Everything starts to repeat again in Marcy's life, and once again she has to say goodbye to her family because of danger, but this time, she accepts it, and decides to give her life for her loved ones like a true heroine (and yes, she does give her life for them because vampires are technically dead) ...but it still changes At the end of this episode, when Marceline is about to be incinerated she discovers she's not a vampire anymore, something has truly changed in her life, and despite that she will return to be a vampire a few episodes later or that this change is actually just coming back to how things used to be, what matters is that even when she becomes a vampire again, she's never the same, even tho life will seem to repeat, we're never the same we are before, and every time we become stronger, wiser, better. So no matter how scary life can seem, we can overcome anything. And that's why Everything Stays, But It Still Changes. |
2024.05.24 19:35 Odin_the-witch Patricia Sirvent, from Jeans, spoke out about the New Jeans plagiarism accusations
 | Here’s the article: https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/05/original-member-of-mexican-girl-group-jeans-posts-an-instagram-story-accusing-newjeans-of-plagiarism submitted by Odin_the-witch to kpopnoir [link] [comments] The instagram stories though… Also here’s the translations for the Spanish text in the screenshots(per the article, but I had to use google translate for the last one). Image 1: All this time they plagiarized us right in front of our faces, it's like, brooo, the clue was in the title itself HAHAHAHA. Image 1 pt. 2: Wooow! We weren't entirely wrong Image 2: I’ll leave this here and go slowly. And as per usual, the fandom(Bunnies) are in her comments demanding she apologize. Like there’s just so many under her recent post on instagram. The screenshots I managed to capture are just a drop of water in a lake. I just don’t think it’s going to be a good year for MHJ after all this. Ever since she got involved with New Jeans it’s been one can of worms after another(from the texts to the whole HYBE debacle). Like the universe is wailing on Min Hee Jin this year. |

It’s so deliciously misty… foggy… well I know it isn’t hazey as that’s more pollution based I think? Then again I don’t tend to ever trust what I think but anyway let’s say misty as it sounds prettier whereas fog has more sinister inclinations. I love this weather so much.
I feel kind of blah today. Not so great if I’m honest. Idk why, maybe because I’m tired? Maybe because it’s such a grey day? Maybe because my brain has decided to say f you? Maybe all three? Maybe none? Who knows. I love grey misty weather anyway so doubtful it’s that. I just feel kind of flat… listless is perhaps a better word.
I’m having vegemite toast because it’s a comfort breakfast and I know it has next to no protein and whenever I have toast I just feel hungry again so soon after so I try to not have it for breakfast but it’s too chilly for a smoothie and I cbf making anything that requires effort. I got to crack open a brand new jar of vegemite which is always satisfying, except it wasn’t all smooth and things this time it had lil bubbles that I guess popped so it looked like the surface of the moon. Idk why that’s cool to me but it is, I don’t think it’s breaking news to anyone, let alone me, that I have immensely cheap thrills. Dollar store type thrills. Anyway it’s 11:30 so it’s less breakfast and more… pre-lunch. I could have just waited til lunch time but I’m a failure in life so I didn’t. Anyway the toast is currently toasting away hence this incessant rambling.
I have therapy today and I would very much prefer to not go.
We were chatting last night and so I knew he went to a private school, like a fancy, expensive private school, and I presumed his friends and other students came from well of families and all but idk I didn’t think that hard about it because idk why would I, but so last night, and I can’t remember how we got on to this topic, I want to say we were talking about bags but why would he talk to me about bags so I have no idea. Anyway so he was telling me about how when he was 14 he went with his best friend at the time to help him buy a bag for his friends girlfriend - and they went to f’ing GUCCI? And all the girls in his school had LV/Chanel etc bags and then when they all got their licences they got super nice brand new cars and things. It’s the 14 year old in Gucci that blows my mind. And makes me think I should have gone to more of the private school parties back in the day. I remember there was one boy who upon reflection I think liked me, mainly because he would find any excuse to talk to me but then idk even back then I thought we’ll they’re teenage boys they’ll talk to anything that moves if it means they might get something out of it. Also my self esteem was halfway down to China back then too so I never believed anyone liked me, even when I would be blatantly asked out I would think they were lying. I remember I was talking to one boy when we were maybe 14 and he said “would you want to maybe be my girlfriend” or something to that effect and even then I didn’t let myself believe he liked me. I think that was maybe the one who I didn’t like at all but said yes because I didn’t think I was allowed to say no/I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Anyway the one from the private school was sweet, I can’t even remember his name now, he was like a year or two older and I can’t remember how I met him? I think his friend gave him my number or something..? I really don’t know. It’s kinda funny reminiscing, except then it’s not because I wish I had done everything differently and it makes me feel regretful. I regret basically my entire existence if I think about it. Anyway last night was a reminder that my honey is a fancy honey and that I may as well wear a burlap sack to meet the parents.
Therapy today was fine. I cried. I don’t like crying at all in sessions and I held it in for ages to the point I couldn’t speak very well as my throat was so choked up. We talked a bit about how confused I can get about how I feel. How I can feel good but bad at the same time? So I told her about how deep down I’m not okay and rarely am, but on the surface I am. On the surface I can be excitable, laugh, smile, feel lovey and giddy, feel happy and all of these things, but underneath all of that I still don’t feel at all okay. So I get confused about how I’m feeling, like am I okay? Or am I not? Should my medication be helping the deep downness, or is it surface level only? Can I ever even expect to feel less cold and sad on the inside? Is that just how it is to be normal? Like is that how everyone feels? Because when I look online and read about how others feel etc it’s always people who are on one end on the spectrum of it all, no one “normal” is posting about how they feel, or if they are it’s a lot rarer. It’s like going to a cancer forum and being like hey I’m totally healthy. Sort of. Not really but my mind is not equipped for any better examples on a Friday afternoon. But so idk. So we talked about that and I started crying when she basically cornered me into admitting I’m not okay. I don’t like using the word depression if I can avoid it, Andy pointed it out the other night - he’s too observant for his own good - but I just don’t feel like I’m deserving of the word. I have always felt this way, I’ve journaled about it numerous times, but I feel like I’m diminishing the meaning or gravity of the word for those who truly suffer. Like the kinds who act on it, or can’t hold down a job or whatever it might be. So we also talked about that, and I cried some more. Such a crybaby. She said that just because I can function at a reasonably high level doesn’t mean I feel better than these other people, she said everyone handles things in their own way which I already know because duh but I just feel like if I can go to work every day and pay my bills and cook meals and all of that then idk… the fact I can function semi normally makes me feel like it’s all in my head. I mean like, I make it up? But I know I don’t make it up, I didn’t even tell anyone how I felt for years. Years and years and years. But on that note she said I have perfected my ability to function in this state, I haven’t allowed myself to stop functioning so she said that I may have been hanging on by a thread at times but still forcing myself to keep going. And she said how I get so angry and frustrated with myself for being so slow or unproductive or whatever it might be, but she told me that I need to remember that a small task such as replying to a text or tidying up the kitchen or whatever can be an annoyance for someone sure, but it doesn’t take a lot out of them, whereas it will take a lot from me. And so I can put things off, I can be slow in doing things and I just find it really hard. And she said even knowing myself as well as I do (which isn’t that well really?) that even knowing I struggle I still set high expectations of myself that are entirely unrealistic. So for example I’ll make a to do list for the day and it will have a tonne of stuff to do on it and I know full well while writing there’s no way I can handle it all but I tell myself to suck it up and do it, but I know I’ll fail and when I do fail I basically bully myself over it. And we talked about how that comes back to how I feel comfortable and safe in a negative headspace, so it isn’t as much of a deterrent or something? But then I said well sometimes I set myself a realistic to do list and I’ll complete and I’ll feel nice about it but I know deep down I should have done a whole lot more and regardless of the list I will still tell myself I’m a total failure who can’t do anything and how could anyone want a life with a girl who can’t even achieve a to do list etc etc. So anyway we talked about that and also the confusion around how I feel.
I want a coffee machine. Andy’s getting one, another one because his last one broke or something? But do I want to spend a few hundred on it? Not really. I’d rather spend that on something else, like a new LED mask? They’re $800ish and I’d rather put the money towards that. I have the light stim but I want a mask too. I think I either want the omnilux or the current body one, I’m unsure which. But also I shouldn’t be spending money at all..?
Sometimes I just feel like he was made for me. I know that’s silly and all, but he’s just… everything? We’re just so aligned in basically everything, everything important anyway like values, how we want to live, what’s important, how we like to spend free time etc etc etc. And he’s just… idk. I know I’m biased but he is simply everything.
Speaking of my honeybunny - it’s his birthday next week! I just ordered him some of his favourite chocolates again to hopefully arrive on the day or afternoon before. I say some, I spent over a hundred on that alone but it’s fancy chocolatier chocolate and the shipping is almost $20 so yknow. But he said a little bit ago how he was dying for some decent chocolate, so hopefully it’ll make him happy. I was going to get the fancy drinking chocolate for him too but I checked and he doesn’t really like it so I’m glad I checked! I need to finalise his present box this weekend and wrap it all up so I can ship it next week. It’s such a stupid box but ohwell.
I saw the cutest office clip on here today and Jim is just the sweetest!!!!!! It was their rehearsal dinner scene and his speech and how he said the hardest thing he ever had to do was wait for Pam and how a lot of people told him he was crazy to wait so long for her and to simply wait for a date with her and then he said how even then he knew he was waiting for his wife :’)
I feel sad.
I want lil bunny slippers, I saw some online and I want themmmmm. I won’t because I’m a grown woman, but they’re so cute. It reminds me of the slippers I had when I was younger, idk maybe 11 or 12 who knows, but they were big chunky slippers that looked like gorillas and each foot had a banana that the gorilla mouth could eat and I loved them.
I had a kinda cute manager calling me today at work, I’d never seen or heard of him before? Anyway it was about some immigration stuff, he asked twice if he could “swing by” my desk as he’s in the office/city because he’s not based in this city but I was wfh anyway. No it was twice and the third he was like oh well if you’re in on Monday we could grab a coffee in the kitchen to talk this over? Obviously it was purely professional, I don’t think otherwise but in writing it out it sounds like it’s not but it was. Also that sounds like hell? I really don’t think my job is suited for a highly introverted socially anxious freak. Anyway now I’ve moved my office day to be Tuesday when he’s gone so I can avoid that. I get anxious enough as it is with office days without adding in person meetings about topics I know next to nothing about? I also hate pop ins at my desk, but they’re so super rare now thankfully. I really don’t know why I’m in this job/field of work. Anyway. I palmed off his case to someone else in my team though as immigration isn’t really my area. He was cute though, which is why I started writing about it here because it made me think of Andy and how he’s told me several times to find someone attractive at work etc etc. I really don’t want to do that anymore, I mean never say never but I just want Andy and no one else :( I know that likely makes me a frigid boring prudish disappointment but that’s not news to anyone now is it. But even writing that I think so and so kinda cute feels not good. I JUST WANT MY BABY :(
It’s so goddamn chilly. I don’t wanna know what our power bill this month will be like with the heaters on full blast but oh well.
I’m really stretching out this final book of the series, I just don’t wanna finish it :( But I think I might just try finish it this weekend, there’s only 500-odd pages left so I’m halfway through. And then I will try get into HP! Probably. But I also want to have a reset weekend if I can and clean the ever living hell out of my bedroom and stuff. I haven’t learned from therapy earlier because I’ve already written myself a mammoth to do list for the weekend. But it all needs doing.
Okay showerrrrrrr time. I like using my Kerastase products from shampoo to serums, it makes me smell like I’ve been to the salon and I lovveeeeee that smell. Anyway so I shall do that now because then I get to spend the night with him 🥰

I remember I was talking to one boy when we were maybe 14 and he said “would you want to maybe be my girlfriend” or something to that effect and even then I didn’t let myself believe he liked me. I think that was maybe the one who I didn’t like at all but said yes because I didn’t think I was allowed to say no/I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Anyway the one from the private school was sweet, I can’t even remember his name now, he was like a year or two older and I can’t remember how I met him? I think his friend gave him my number or something..? I really don’t know. It’s kinda funny reminiscing, except then it’s not because I wish I had done everything differently and it makes me feel regretful. I regret basically my entire existence if I think about it. Anyway last night was a reminder that my honey is a fancy honey and that I may as well wear a burlap sack to meet the parents.
Therapy today was fine. I cried. I don’t like crying at all in sessions and I held it in for ages to the point I couldn’t speak very well as my throat was so choked up. We talked a bit about how confused I can get about how I feel. How I can feel good but bad at the same time? So I told her about how deep down I’m not okay and rarely am, but on the surface I am. On the surface I can be excitable, laugh, smile, feel lovey and giddy, feel happy and all of these things, but underneath all of that I still don’t feel at all okay. So I get confused about how I’m feeling, like am I okay? Or am I not? Should my medication be helping the deep downness, or is it surface level only? Can I ever even expect to feel less cold and sad on the inside? Is that just how it is to be normal? Like is that how everyone feels? Because when I look online and read about how others feel etc it’s always people who are on one end on the spectrum of it all, no one “normal” is posting about how they feel, or if they are it’s a lot rarer. It’s like going to a cancer forum and being like hey I’m totally healthy. Sort of. Not really but my mind is not equipped for any better examples on a Friday afternoon. But so idk. So we talked about that and I started crying when she basically cornered me into admitting I’m not okay. I don’t like using the word depression if I can avoid it, Andy pointed it out the other night - he’s too observant for his own good - but I just don’t feel like I’m deserving of the word. I have always felt this way, I’ve journaled about it numerous times, but I feel like I’m diminishing the meaning or gravity of the word for those who truly suffer. Like the kinds who act on it, or can’t hold down a job or whatever it might be. So we also talked about that, and I cried some more. Such a crybaby. She said that just because I can function at a reasonably high level doesn’t mean I feel better than these other people, she said everyone handles things in their own way which I already know because duh but I just feel like if I can go to work every day and pay my bills and cook meals and all of that then idk… the fact I can function semi normally makes me feel like it’s all in my head. I mean like, I make it up? But I know I don’t make it up, I didn’t even tell anyone how I felt for years. Years and years and years. But on that note she said I have perfected my ability to function in this state, I haven’t allowed myself to stop functioning so she said that I may have been hanging on by a thread at times but still forcing myself to keep going. And she said how I get so angry and frustrated with myself for being so slow or unproductive or whatever it might be, but she told me that I need to remember that a small task such as replying to a text or tidying up the kitchen or whatever can be an annoyance for someone sure, but it doesn’t take a lot out of them, whereas it will take a lot from me. And so I can put things off, I can be slow in doing things and I just find it really hard. And she said even knowing myself as well as I do (which isn’t that well really?) that even knowing I struggle I still set high expectations of myself that are entirely unrealistic. So for example I’ll make a to do list for the day and it will have a tonne of stuff to do on it and I know full well while writing there’s no way I can handle it all but I tell myself to suck it up and do it, but I know I’ll fail and when I do fail I basically bully myself over it. And we talked about how that comes back to how I feel comfortable and safe in a negative headspace, so it isn’t as much of a deterrent or something? But then I said well sometimes I set myself a realistic to do list and I’ll complete and I’ll feel nice about it but I know deep down I should have done a whole lot more and regardless of the list I will still tell myself I’m a total failure who can’t do anything and how could anyone want a life with a girl who can’t even achieve a to do list etc etc. So anyway we talked about that and also the confusion around how I feel.
I want a coffee machine. Andy’s getting one, another one because his last one broke or something? But do I want to spend a few hundred on it? Not really. I’d rather spend that on something else, like a new LED mask? They’re $800ish and I’d rather put the money towards that. I have the light stim but I want a mask too. I think I either want the omnilux or the current body one, I’m unsure which. But also I shouldn’t be spending money at all..?
Sometimes I just feel like he was made for me. I know that’s silly and all, but he’s just… everything? We’re just so aligned in basically everything, everything important anyway like values, how we want to live, what’s important, how we like to spend free time etc etc etc. And he’s just… idk. I know I’m biased but he is simply everything.
Speaking of my honeybunny - it’s his birthday next week! I just ordered him some of his favourite chocolates again to hopefully arrive on the day or afternoon before. I say some, I spent over a hundred on that alone but it’s fancy chocolatier chocolate and the shipping is almost $20 so yknow. But he said a little bit ago how he was dying for some decent chocolate, so hopefully it’ll make him happy. I was going to get the fancy drinking chocolate for him too but I checked and he doesn’t really like it so I’m glad I checked! I need to finalise his present box this weekend and wrap it all up so I can ship it next week. It’s such a stupid box but ohwell.
I saw the cutest office clip on here today and Jim is just the sweetest!!!!!! It was their rehearsal dinner scene and his speech and how he said the hardest thing he ever had to do was wait for Pam and how a lot of people told him he was crazy to wait so long for her and to simply wait for a date with her and then he said how even then he knew he was waiting for his wife :’)
I feel sad.
I want lil bunny slippers, I saw some online and I want themmmmm. I won’t because I’m a grown woman, but they’re so cute. It reminds me of the slippers I had when I was younger, idk maybe 11 or 12 who knows, but they were big chunky slippers that looked like gorillas and each foot had a banana that the gorilla mouth could eat and I loved them.
I had a kinda cute manager calling me today at work, I’d never seen or heard of him before? Anyway it was about some immigration stuff, he asked twice if he could “swing by” my desk as he’s in the office/city because he’s not based in this city but I was wfh anyway. No it was twice and the third he was like oh well if you’re in on Monday we could grab a coffee in the kitchen to talk this over? Obviously it was purely professional, I don’t think otherwise but in writing it out it sounds like it’s not but it was. Also that sounds like hell? I really don’t think my job is suited for a highly introverted socially anxious freak. Anyway now I’ve moved my office day to be Tuesday when he’s gone so I can avoid that. I get anxious enough as it is with office days without adding in person meetings about topics I know next to nothing about? I also hate pop ins at my desk, but they’re so super rare now thankfully. I really don’t know why I’m in this job/field of work. Anyway. I palmed off his case to someone else in my team though as immigration isn’t really my area. He was cute though, which is why I started writing about it here because it made me think of Andy and how he’s told me several times to find someone attractive at work etc etc. I really don’t want to do that anymore, I mean never say never but I just want Andy and no one else :( I know that likely makes me a frigid boring prudish disappointment but that’s not news to anyone now is it. But even writing that I think so and so kinda cute feels not good. I JUST WANT MY BABY :(
It’s so goddamn chilly. I don’t wanna know what our power bill this month will be like with the heaters on full blast but oh well.
I’m really stretching out this final book of the series, I just don’t wanna finish it :( But I think I might just try finish it this weekend, there’s only 500-odd pages left so I’m halfway through. And then I will try get into HP! Probably. But I also want to have a reset weekend if I can and clean the ever living hell out of my bedroom and stuff. I haven’t learned from therapy earlier because I’ve already written myself a mammoth to do list for the weekend. But it all needs doing.
Okay showerrrrrrr time. I like using my Kerastase products from shampoo to serums, it makes me smell like I’ve been to the salon and I lovveeeeee that smell. Anyway so I shall do that now because then I get to spend the night with him 🥰
2024.05.23 23:31 Cora_Estelle My bf is supportive but..
Me (18f) and my boyfriend (20m) recently moved in together and he knows and have known for a while now about my littlespace and he was very accepting and supportive but other than helping me with food/drinks while in littlespace or cuddling me and baby talking me, he doesn't really play the role of caregiver like he said he would when I told him about it. I've asked if he wanted me to send over things like rules for littlespace (set bedtime, lunchtime, things that would get me in timeout, sfw "punishments" if I'm bratty etc.) That he could use or get ideas from or understand the role of a littlespace caregiver better. But he said no, it's fine. I love that he does take care of me while I'm lil but I feel like it'd be easier to regress if he kinda participated more. He doesn't even really call me any pet names other than what we use daily like hunny, sweetheart and baby etc. I've asked him to call me stuff like bunny, puppy, tot, little one, and such while im lil but he never does. He has very short attention span and that may be the reason but it'd still be nice for him to be more involved in my littlespace cause he makes me so safe and happy :3 how do I bring this up with him? I've also asked if it'd be okay to have a friend act as a caregiver like over text or something but he said he's not comfy with that. What should I do?

We present to you ...... EL MECHA KITTY [operation and skills in the description].") | This new, furry soldier brought to life by Dr. L. submitted by La_fabricadora to RobloxAvatars [link] [comments] who was inspired by a dead cat in the middle of the street that Dr. L found in the street. This little fella is a smart soldier capable of withstanding rocket launcher fire! [We have not tortured the mecha kitty to know his durability, we have not disarmed and rearmed him so many times that he has lost the power to feel pain.] He is specialized in all types of weapons and can easily adapt to any situation. He is even trained in the art of shovel fu. He can be used for Middle Eastern wars or to defend your secret laboratories. This friend has several personality modes We'll tell you all about it now! 1: if you don't have a father it doesn't matter because mecha kitty has a personality mode that will turn him from a murderous soldier into a loving and kind father. 2: if your experiment with liquid furs goes wrong and the whole lab is taken over by them, don't worry, you can put mecha kitty in berserker mode and he'll melt all the furs he encounters. 3: if you are sad or depressed mecha kitty can become a kind psychologist or a brother who will never leave you behind. 4: if your city is invaded by an infection that makes your eyes glow, it doesn't matter! Mecha kitty will beat the infection out of you! That's just one of mecha kitty's MANY functions. By the way, we have to say that mecha kitty has only 5.000 units created so far. But we will make more in the future! And that's not all If you are not a cat fan....... Well in the future we are going to bring to.... MECHA BUNNY MECHA BEAR MECHA CHICK AND.... MECHA DOGGO If you have any questions about mecha kitty and his robotic friends just leave them! AND FAST MECHA KITTY UNITS ARE RUNNING OUT BUY THEM FAST AT ONLY THE PRICE OF 50 MILLION DOLLARS!

Doctor L did a great job this time! I had to resubmit this 3 times because the bot said it was offensive content.....) |
2024.05.22 18:16 gehirnspasti Anet, if NCsoft is pointing the metaphorical gun at you to make money then maybe you did pretty okay.
(This is a parody of a similar, unnecessarily negative thread, one of the many that's been popping up recently)
SOTO and its content, patch cadence, and overall quality has clearly been pretty good unlike the likes of IBS and DRMs. Though this post has nothing to add to how SOTO is pretty well liked by most reasonable players,but to we can bring question to the numerous gem store patches that we've received and the direction they have gone in terms of giving the people what they want.
One of the biggest areas that might baffle a very vocal, whiny majority of the community is the 'rotation' that the gem store has. You'redenying keeping users from buying what they want at any point in time and instead having them wait an arbitrary timespan of 3 to 6 months to even obtain it, thus following a pretty well established business strategy that has proven to increase profits. We know its possible to slam every item in the store as we saw during the Holiday sales, which would be super nice as a consumer, but it's fairly reasonable that you, as a business, must strike a balance between profit maximisation and consumer friendliness. And if the idea of FOMO is still a concern - which is extremely laudable that you actually give a shit - then you could just mark-up the items and have more frequent rotated price reductions to encourage purchases, even though it's not clear at all how this would benefit the consumer in any way let alone erase FOMO. You could also pull a book from FFXIV and have event items also be sold, now that might affect CCUs and MAUs during events but this is NCsoft we're talking about, surely they care more about revenue then knowing that an extra Timmy is climbing the tower to get his paper bag hats, but you probably are already considering what other games in the industry do, since you're not just over entitled armchair developers on Reddit but actual professionals.
A more subjective is the styling and the 'theme' of these gem store items (and chase items in BLC) that are coming out. I see more users wearing Maid Outfits, Cat Ears (Cat Outfit included), and Bunny Ears (Not the helmet) then the past year of gem store items combine. Which is proof that you know how to make profitable microtransactions, that might not ve everyone's cup of tea, but hey; at least you haven't patched in a regular ass modern car as a Rollerbeetle skin, like in FFXIV. Anyway, lets break down the list of items we've gotten since around SOTO's release for no reason whatsoever. One thing to note is that we silently moved from a bi-weekly patch cycle to a tri-weekly cycle with the last patch taking four weeks (Almost 1/3 of the patches that we've normally received compared to last year), which is probably very beneficial to your employees' mental health, and thus perfectly fine - after all, if there is no content for a week for me, I can just wait because I'm not paying a subscription (hurray!).
Jan 9th
The Feb 27th Patch was a stroke of Genius by Anet. Finally giving normal pants to Non-medium classes and askirt kilt to all classes, adding actual variation to the wardrobe instead of a 'glow effect armor that's just an visual side grade to existing skins'. The Heretical and Raven Theme is great, but its such a niche enjoyment (that a redditor would enjoy) but the frequency you see users utilize these other skins are such a low rate that you have better luck getting a Permanent contract (I honestly have no idea what the original text is going on about here?).
If Anet actually wanted to make money, they should opt into following their Korean Overlords and give the internet degenerates (with money keep in mind) what they want. And so they did, while trying to keep the game extremely non-predatory in its monetisation, which is rare these days and something most of us value very highly. They did pretty well last year with the plethora of 'revealing' skins but the real money is also the 'normal' and 'casual' clothing. You can argue that this game isn't the place for items such as 'swim suits', 'skimpy battle armors' or a 'plain shirt and pants' and that it should stay in other games but we already have the option to dye our gear in blinding permafrost, infused with confetti, and while wielding literal clown weapons that makes the Circus look like a Sunday Church in the 1960s.
So what the hell is this post even about?
I have no idea. Just keep doing what you're doing Anet, SotO was a pretty good start to a new concept for content production. It wasn't always of the highest quality, but I and probably the vast majority of players really appreciate the work you've been doing. And we're excited to see where this will take us, as you've probably learned a lot from this past year and will improve your processes even further.
Signed, one of the many players who has been enjoying SotO overall.

2024.05.21 18:28 CrochetLolly Book About Character Documenting (Extinct?) Fantasy Creatures
Plot: The main character (a man) was travelling around and documenting strange creatures he came across (or maybe he found bones of the extinct creatures and was trying to figure out what made them extinct?). Every so often the book would have a black and white sketch of a strange creature he came across. It would then describe the character's findings about the creature (how it lived, how it became extinct, etc.)
Notable Characters: The main character was a man who was an adventurer of some sort. He also had a strange dog-like creature as a pet. This dog could change colors and become stinky at will. I vaguely remember there being a lady during a later part of the book that became the main character's girlfriend? But this was not a romance book.
Genre: Fiction, Fantasy (but not super magical), Adventure
Physical Description:
The book had a long title. Somehow I remember the title being something along the lines of "Mr. _____ Journal/Diary/Adventure of Strange Creatures", but I could be remembering wrong. The cover was not particularly detailed. I think it basically just featured the title of the book in large letters on the center. Maybe a blueish or grayish background? I think it was a soft-cover book.
When/Where it was set:
I don't know what time period the book was set in. I think the main character probably travelled to some secluded island to document strange creatures so there wasn't much civilization or other human characters in the book. I also don't remember there being any special gadgets or technology, but I could be wrong.
Book length: The book was not a book for really really young kids because it had a lot more text than pictures. I think the book was maybe about 100-200 pages or so, so it wasn't super long or super short.
Language:
I read the book in English and I live in the USA. It was probably the original language.
When I read the book:
I read the book sometime around 2015-2018. I was in later middle-school or early high-school (I was probably between 13-16 years old). I didn't do much reading so I imagine it was probably nothing too advanced or difficult to read for that age group.
Book location:
I rented the book from a library in United States.
Creatures in book:
The creatures were not the typical fantasy creatures like dragons, griffon's, etc. They were completely original. I remember 4 creatures in the book.
There was some kind of troll creature that lived near the ocean. The trolls found and collected magnetic rocks. I think the magnetic rocks would lure fish closer to them or maybe they were a status symbol of some sort? But gradually the magnets made the trolls get shorter and shorter because of their strong magnetic pull. The magnets probably made the troll creature get extinct because the trolls became too short.
There was also a really big creature with a tiny head. I think the creature was called a "Pinhead".
There was also a cute dandelion puff bunny. They were so light-weight and small that they would get carried away in the wind. I think the bones of this creature were so small and lightweight that the main character almost didn't discover them.
And finally there was a dog-like creature which became the main characters pet. This is probably the only creature that was not extinct?
Notable scene:
I remember one scene where the main character found someone he liked. But his dog-like pet was either jealous or bored, so he turned green and stinky to scare away the main character's girlfriend. I believe the main character then had to go and asked his pet something along the lines of: "Was that really necessary?" The dog could not talk.
Thanks for any help!

2024.05.21 16:10 CrochetLolly Book with Fantasy Creatures and Plot
Please help me find a book I read from the library sometime around 2015-2018.
The book had a long title. Somehow I remember the title being something along the lines of "Mr. _____ Journal/Diary/Adventure of Strange Creatures", but I could be remembering wrong since I have been unable to find it.

And finally there was a dog-like creature which became the main characters pet. This is probably the only creature that was not extinct?
I remember one scene where the main character found someone he liked. But his dog-like pet was either jealous or bored, so he turned green and stinky to scare away the main character's girlfriend. I believe the main character then had to go and asked his pet something along the lines of: "Was that really necessary?" The dog could not talk.
Please help me find this book, it has been bugging me for years!

The book had a long title. Somehow I remember the title being something along the lines of "Mr. _____ Journal/Diary/Adventure of Strange Creatures", but I could be remembering wrong since I have been unable to find it. The cover was not particularly detailed. I think it basically just featured the title of the book in large letters on the center. Maybe a blueish or grayish background?
This book was not just a listing of creatures; it had a plot. The main character (a man) was travelling around and documenting strange creatures he came across (or maybe he found bones of the extinct creatures and was trying to figure out what made them extinct?). Every so often the book would have a black and white sketch of a strange creature he came across.
The book was not a book for really really young kids because it had a lot more text than pictures. I think the book was maybe about 100-200 pages or so, so it wasn't super long or super short.
The creatures were not the typical fantasy creatures like dragons, griffon's, etc. They were completely original. I remember 4 creatures in the book.
There was some kind of troll creature that lived near the ocean. The trolls found and collected magnetic rocks. I think the magnetic rocks would lure fish closer to them or maybe they were a status symbol of some sort? But gradually the magnets made the trolls get shorter and shorter because of their strong magnetic pull. The magnets probably made the troll creature get extinct because the trolls became too short.

2024.05.20 08:25 PotentialComposer416 min heejin chat situation
I would really like to preface this post by saying that I do NOT like Hybe. I really have never liked Hybe as a company and that hasn't changed. I also do NOT like Min Heejin at all, ever since the whole thing with Cookie she's been on my radar. However, whenever something like this in the community happens I try to go into doing research as unbiased as possible! I would also like to say that I've liked New Jeans since their debut and I really think they're sweet and talented girls. It seems stupid to say all this but I think that a lot of people jump to call names like "Hybe d****rider" when it comes to my opinion on this topic.
Context:
Ok. Min Heejin's leaked chats. So yesterday there was a lot of arguing from both sides that it was edited by Hybe and that it was real, and personally, I was on the side that it was real, and I'll explain why. From what I gathered, it was brought forward by Hybe in court and it was dismissed due to lack of relevancy to the case. I think that this fact is what made so many people believe that it was falsified as it was dismissed, but I believe that if it was false then Hybe wouldn't just get the evidence dismissed but wouldn't they get in legal trouble? I also found it hard to believe that Hybe, a huge company going through a bunch of scandals and controversies at the moment, would go through the trouble to fake evidence (a crime) to present in a court of law. I really don't think that their legal team is stupid enough to allow them to go through with that. I don't know much if anything about Korea's legal system, but I can't imagine that such a thing would be allowed. I also read that Min Heejin didn't deny that claims in court but rather said it was an invasion of privacy and her team said it was taken out of context. Again, I was trying to look at this issue as unbiased as possible and based on the facts of the situation the claim that those messages were real started to make more sense to me.
The Facts:
Flash foward to this morning and Min Heejin releases a statement. I don't know how Reddit works so I'll try to attach images, but basically she said "Complex human affairs, human relationships are not explained by a few KakaoTalks that are simply cut and cut arbitrarily...My personality, my usual tone, my jokes or playful style, and the situation I was in and the situation and the object of the conversation don't have to be simply dismissed and evaluated...." she laters says, "New Jeans and I have been through a lot of things and various situations that you don't have to know about...." A lot of people read this and for them, it confirmed that these messages were real because she didn't deny them, rather started making excuses for herself. I noticed, however, that later in her statement she refers to them as "patched-up" or in another translation I saw, "edited". I don't speak Korean so I don't know the direct translation, but a lot of her defenders bring this up in her defense. However, in an official statement released by Hybe they state, "We have never woven any materials. The court told us that we have secured the relevant data through due process and submitted the original text. Nevertheless, CEO Min is lying to the media that it is "illegally obtained data" and "squeezed data". In Min Heejin's statement she also (once again) mentioned the New Jeans members, stating, "Immediately after being attacked with a patched-up KakaoTalk conversation, the members all sent me text messages of consolation. It wasn't just a text message of comfort, it was full of love. The text messages of comfort continued until the morning of the next day." So far, these are all the facts and gathered statements that I have found about this situation.
My Opinion:
I would like to reiterate that I do NOT in any way support Hybe or Min Heejin, I just want what's best for the girls. A lot of people are jumping to Min Heejin's defense once again, saying that "she said they were edited", or "of course Hybe would say that why would they say they lied" and I just want those people who think that to stop and think again about what they said. If that can be true for Hybe, why can't it be true for Min Heejin? If Hybe is capable of lying then why isn't she? I'm not saying that Hybe is an all innocent being and that they aren't capable of lying, but why can't the same energy be kept for both sides? I think that a lot of New Jeans fans have been confusing their support for New Jeans as support for Min Heejin, which is simply not the case and I'll address this later. I think that it's odd that fans are so quick to jump to her defense when all the evidence is pointing against her, especially when those messages said those disgusting things about the members, and if you haven't seen the messages I will attach an image of them. I understand not wanting to support Hybe because yes, they are not a great company in any way and are not innocent, but supporting Min Heejin is not supporting New Jeans. Supporting New Jeans is supporting New Jeans. When people say that Hybe is, once again, lying and that those messages are fake and edited, it makes me wonder (again) why they would go through the trouble and risk for something like this. To make Min Heejin look bad? It makes no sense if you think about it logically. Especially now since Hybe claimed in their statement that the court told them the evidence was obtained legally and the document was the original text. Again, this is with my personal feelings about Hybe and Min Heejin put aside and simply reviewing the facts and forming a logical conclusion. I honestly think that the mental gymanstics that some bunnies are doing is crazy and needs to be studied (in the worst way possible). Based on what I've seen so far, I have no reason to believe that Min Heejin is telling the truth when she says that these messages are fake.
Min Heejin does NOT care about New Jeans:
Now this is definitely based on my personal feelings about Min Heejin. I really believe that she doesn't care about New Jeans the way she says she does. A lot of fans believe that she loves New Jeans and that New Jeans loves her, and I do believe that some of it is true. I think that New Jeans really does love and trust her, but I don't think she feels the same way about them. Putting aside the leaked messages, it was Min Heejin who brought New Jeans into this mess. Any doubt in my mind about Min Heejin's true feelings toward New Jeans was immediately cleared when she mentioned them in her press conference and how they called her crying and showing their support for her. To me, this just proved that she was using them to gain sympathy from the public and bunnies, and it worked. A lot of people defend her by saying she was asked about them, but she could've simply said "this situation doesn't involve the members and I won't speak on them." This would've made them completely neutral in the situation. If she truly cared about them the way she claims she does, she would have been shielding them from harm, not using them as her shield. She does this again in her most recent statement when she reveals that even after seeing the messages, the members still sent her comforting and loving messages, and I think that this will really be bad for New Jeans because you have to remember that Min Heejin didn't just talk bad about New Jeans, but also about female employees in regards to s*xual harrassment complaints saying "d*e f*cking b*tch". By revealing New Jeans support after seeing the messages, she's revealing that they had no problem supporting her saying things like that and I think that this can really affect them. I really don't like Hybe and don't think that they're good for New Jeans, but I don't think that Min Heejin is ANY better.
Conclusion:
I'm sorry this was really long I just have a lot to say about this topic and I needed an outlet lol. I'm gonna keep up with everything and probably post more no matter what happens because I'm not trying to spread information only for one side, I'm trying to view evidence from both sides and form an opinion from that. That being said, if anyone has any other evidence for either side I would love to see it and discuss it. Thank you if you read this far and please don't send hate because I'm not trying to spread hate, just open a conversation!
