Yang in the Lostbelts Arc 2: Training and Talks
2024.06.09 23:40 FancyFireDrake Yang in the Lostbelts Arc 2: Training and Talks
Between Esdeath and Ivan, for a while things hadnt looked all that promising regarding the groups plan to save the Lostbelt. But as the blizzard stopped, the thing that made life so harsh and survival the most important aspect of all, Ivan had proven himself to be surprisingly amicable.
The Yagas lifestyle, brutal and loveless as it was, was no longer needed in a world that could be warm. And with the Box (Yang still was pondering the proper name for the device) in place after the Lostbelts Tree was destroyed... their world was for now at least safe. Comfortably stabilized and in stasis until Yang could get off this planet and plant them on a proper world.
So the trio departed for the next target, this time by a matter of logic and reason. The various Lostbelts had been marked on the walkie talkie like apparatus Yang received with various redacted information. Suppsoedly to be revealed as they progressed. It made her wonder what kind of game this was supposed to be but any information could be useful. Each Lostbelt had different ranks of danger, with Russia being the lowest.
In accordance with the danger rating, their next location would be Scandinavia. A land where Ragnarok never proceeded as it was supposed to, with a Mother Goddess fused with Scathach as its Lostbelt King. And its Jumper being... annoyingly hidden. Supposedly this Jack Slash (Corax immediately wanted to kill him no debate involved after she learned of his name... something about Worms?), had talked Surtr into attempting to end all the world instead of only the age of gods.
Skadi was at least much more approachable than Ivan, greeting them like a mother would. Horrific circumstances regarding humanity in this Lostbelt aside, who had to routinely be feed to Giants at young ages, Skadi was elated to hear they could help, defeat Surtr and put an end to the Giant threat. She had guaranteed them her full support in every endeavor.
It was nice to have a proper room in Skadis Palace instead of having to hide out in a cave. All things considered things were looking up, even if a harsh fight was on the horizon. And what better thing to do than train? So she had done just that with Taiyang for the last couple hours. Corax mentioned wanting to discuss... something with a certain Mother Goddess...
Yang wiped away some sweat of her brow, drinking some of the warm tea the Lostbelt King had provided. She honestly hoped the next Lostbelts would be warmer this cold was getting annoying.
As they recovered some of their energy... Yang felt compelled to ask. "Say... how did you meet Corax?"
Tai coughed, having been drinking water at the time of the question being asked- his mind somewhat frantically pondered an excuse that would keep his extradimensional paramour’s secret.
“Well… she found me, after I joined back up with the survivors from my Remnant she came to visit our Citadel and we started talking”
Yang leaned back with an amused smile. "Really? She just popped in and felt like chatting? Well... I suppose thats how I met her and Sephiroth in Animal Crossing but still... What did you talk about? Anything in particular?"
“Well… she gave me a Symbiote- a piece of Quil it’s what helps me use this arm Flowey gave me without losing my sanity or just straight up dying.”
He looks over at her.
“Are you wondering who she is under the mask? She told me that she knew a counterpart of mine and wanted to meet me because of it, I took her to meet Pietro if you remember him? Your friend Penny’s father?”
So thats how she did it. Yang couldnt help but thank the masked woman mentally. Actions like that were an easy way to get in Yangs own good graces. Shed have to voice her thanks to the woman some time.
"Mister Polendina?" the huntress pondered the name. "I heard of him. Ive known what he looks like from studying Remnant but... I never actually got to meet mine. Last ive seen of Penny was when Pyrrha tore her apart on accident and I never left Patch before... you know." Yang gave an awkward shrug, quickly trying to change the topic. "He seems like a cool guy. Would love to know what he thinks of my tech. As for Corax..."
She clicked her tongue contemplating. "I guess... im just curious cause I cant really get a read on her. Why shes here or doing all this. My best GUESS is that maybe she is projecting some of her trauma and trying to make amends... and fuck me if that isnt a running theme in our group." she let out a small sympathetic chuckle.
"I wouldnt rip the mask of her face or something. She needs to deal with her shit on her own time. Just... curious for sure now how her RWBY visit went."
“Yeah… I don’t know the whole story as well, I don’t know how she met Sepiroth or any of the details after the fact- I just know Remnant went… badly for her to say the least and that she cares about you a lot.”
Tai smiled a little sadly.
“She can be such a gray blur sometimes can’t she?”
That made Yang blink. She... maybe figured something like that after hearing Corax voice in her head back when she took Sephiroths challenge. But to hear that this masked stranger cared about her... why? That was the question currently on Yangs mind.
What could she have done to deserve Corax care?
All she could tell for sure was that Taiyang seemed to care about her as well. Good grief what a Trio they made. Their little 'Neo Chaldea'. Misery loves company?
"...Good way to put it." she said with a small mirrored smile. "You probably know her better than I do and if she is a blur to you, she may as well be mist to me. But well... I suppose we just have to wait until she comes out with her own baggage and lend a shoulder for her when she needs it." Yang decided, unaware just what kind of promise she was making.
....Suddenly she felt like chuckling. "You know its weird... the way she acts... it kind of feels familiar. Or well not familiar but like... something I imagined someone to act LIKE..."
“Raven right? What you always hoped she’d be like when you found her back on Remnant? She reminds me of Ray sometimes too… they’re similar people in a lot of ways”
Yangs expression looked blank for a moment, Taiyangs comparison ringing true. "Yeah I think so. When I first learned that a 'Bandit' gave birth to me... I kinda thought of an 'edgy badass who takes no shit but could teach you cool stuff'. Guess thats what a brain of a 5 year old comes up with." she said distinctively... removed. The same kind of emotion and passion one would give towards describing the specific color of grass.
"Corax... oddly fits this idea I had in my brain I suppose. But considering Corax is around and Raven isnt... I fail to see any similarities." she stated neutrally and matter of factly.
“Yeah… I know what you mean”
Taiyang’s voice sounded… sad, he wished Yang had had the chance to get to know Raven back on Remnant, back before all the Ozpin shit.
‘Sorry Corax you’ve got your work cut out for you…’
Trying to lighten the mood Tai nudges Yang-
“She’s a badass though right? I never wanted to use a sword before what she did in the last Lostbelt now I’m wondering if she’ll give me lessons”
And all but immediately the passion and emotion was back in Yangs face. Gone the utter lack of care about Raven... replaced by what Corax had become.
"You can say that again! Shes treating space like it was paper. I don't think I ever saw someone THAT good with a sword its frankly absurd. I'm honestly surprised Ivan lasted as long as he did." she said with a heartfelt laugh... and admiration in her voice.
A golden blade appeared in her hand, brimming with the power of Ea and Rhongomyniad. "I ended up picking up on sword fighting when I saw just so many Items in Jumpchain not just fitting a brawler fighting style alone. Feels like a waste to deny myself of them entirely. But I am the first to admit that I still feel like a complete novice. You think shed be up to give me some training?"
“Well no harm in asking is there? Even if that doesn’t work out the two of us could train?”
Yang gave a small smile in return. "Sounds good to me."

"Honestly I don't really understand the issue here. You weren't there to fulfill your duties as a mother but now you are here. So what is your problem?" Skadi asked in a remote and secure corner of the Palace the woman standing in front of her... said womans mask in her hand and clutched so tightly her knuckles went white.
"The PROBLEM is that it took me until Remnant literally went to Hell to figure out I have *issues*. The problem is that it took me facing and killing the objectively worst mother in the Omniverse to even THINK about actually being a mother. The problem is that I can not even look at Yang without wanting to vomit out of sheer guilt." Raven said in exasperation. She had the absolutely foolish spur of the moment Idea to turn to a Mother Goddess for advice on her predicament... but it was increasingly looking questionable how smart that idea was.
Skadi hummed in thought. "True... this Ragyo woman really put shame on the role of mother. But you did good in ensuring she can no longer do harm. And I do not think simple absence means you are as bad as her."
"Its not just that I am bad its that I am the worst possible option at the latest time imaginable. I had my chance twice over, once when I had her and left and once again when Summer died. Summer Rose is her real mother and she COULD be that figure in her life. Now she has Aziza who is basically Summer but a cosmic level Pharaoh."
"You are getting too hung up on the idea of motherhood as some sort of competition." Skadi argued, a frustrating amount of compassion on her face. "But such bonds are not easily summarized or put on a ranking. All one can do for sure is love and be there for them. Do you love Yang."
"...Yes. It... took me a while to admit that but I do love her."
"And are you there for her now?"
"...Its not that I-"
"Are you there for her NOW?" Skadi insisted and raven sighed. "I mean... I think so."
"Than that alone means you have what is necessary to be a good mother. As long as you have these two virtues I would never judge you my child."
What in the world was it with people around her being so understanding? Seriously a part of her still wanted Tai to spit on her face when she first met him. It was frustrating in a very complicated way.
"I didnt exactly... HAVE those for a long time. Me and my brother... the tribe wasnt exactly the kind of environment where you make close bonds. I never really had a mother myself and just was too... afraid. Of Ozpins War. Of Salem. Of... caring. So when I had the chance I didnt try."
Skadi just continued to wear a gentle smile. "And yet your Semblance, this power rooted in your soul, manifests as a connection and gate to your loved ones. I believe your Soul is trying to tell you something raven. Something you yourself cant yet see... but I do and Taiyang does and I am sure if you let her Yang would see it as well."
Raven bit the inside of her cheek, brain furiously trying to voice counterarguments. "Skadi."
"Please call me mom."
...Right. Mother Goddess. "...'Mom'... what if it is just too late?"
"It never is too late to show someone you love them. Just as it is never to early to stop with fetishizing ones own sadness."
"But she doesnt CARE about me. And honestly that should be a good thing! Wouldnt I just be selfish if I make her deal with something she put behind her?"
"The woman she moved past is not the woman in front of me today isnt she? You allowed yourself to change Raven and dove into the unknown to be there for her. Mask or no Mask hiding your identity that is NOT something a coward could do." and just like that, raven found herself pulled into a hug, eyes widening from the sudden embrace.
"My child... you are so much braver and stronger than you think you are. I KNOW you will get over this and I can not wait for the day I get to see the both of you act like mother and daughter should."
...Such a notion fell somewhere between pipe dream and insanity for Ravens current mind. But being hugged by a woman that just radiated comfort... she couldnt bring herself to speak these words.

2024.06.09 23:37 imnutnhere Andrew left's villain origin story.
So, I came up with a silly premise to entain us while we wait on mama squeeze to come and put generational wealth under the squeezmas tree. Hope you like it.
"Andrew left was an aspiring concert violinist who loved to play the new console, the PS2 in his free time. There was a brand new game coming out called 'fable 2' and Andrew really wanted that game. He had previously beaten all of his other games that he bought with proceeds from his side business that he ran behind the Wendy's dumpster, but he didn't want to wait, so he thought about all the clients he would have to service, and immediately ditched the though. He reached into his 'shorts' pocket only to find 21 dollars and a coupon for a Dave's hot and juicy, disheartened he went to his console to play sly cooper for the 7th time, when he saw an ad on the inside of the box "we buy your old games.' the ad proclaimed. Excited, he scooped up all of his games into a trash bag and ran down to the local gamestop and went inside to complete his transaction and in a way, andrew never left that store, because fate had other plans for him. ---"i said we can give you $7.99 in store credit for these"---- Andrew heard the scruffy game stop clerk explain as he struggled to hear through the loud ringing in his ears....vision was coming back into focus, then he began to speak once more "did I hear you correctly?? I spent 100s of dollars on those games, how is that possible? I would lose like almost 100% of my investment. You have any idea how many hot and juicys I had to do before I could afford those?!"....".please sir, Can't you just help me out all I have is $21.... even with the store credit I will still come up sho..short ...--" Andrew paused, and an evil grin came across his face. He knew exactly what he must do...so he spent the next 20 years building up his arsenal, he even created a company called cirton and he used it as a way to practice on smaller companies, building up his skills, and preparing for the day the when he could get his revenge on game stop for what they did to him."
Idk I was bored and thought it was a funny premise. especially when you think about all of that prep and then some random cat guy just shows up out of the blue and dunks on em twice in a row. Someone with actual creativity make that a movie once this is all over and we all have lamborgini yahts.

2024.06.09 23:37 throwaway84736263839 I 32M feel like I’ve been acting my whole life. Like I play a character so people can like me
So basically I feel like I always have to act as humble and as nice as I can because my whole life people have always been jealous of me. I really don’t want to come across as arrogant in this post but. I was really abused as a kid. My mom would always beat me my step dad would always yell at me and belittle me. My step dad couldn’t control his emotions. I always felt like I had to put on a charade with him and watch exactly what I said or he would lash out.
I’m 32 years old now and I don’t know how to snap out of it. I have a successful career, Im educated in 6ft tall I’ve been told I’m attractive have blue eyes make over six figures. I always feel like if I don’t act more humbly if I don’t almost be submissive in a way people won’t like me. I have people in my life that because of how nice and humble I act they think I’m a doormat. I train everyday I do boxing jiu jitsu lift weights. I want to be more aggressive more confident but I fear people will think I’m stuck up.
I don’t know if I’m making a lot of sense with this post but most people that I have in my life are not like me. I’m the only one that went and got an education the only one with a really nice house. The tallest one in my friend group and most of my family. But I guess I’m just afraid of showing the world a confident side of me.
I don’t know if anybody can relate to this or how clear I came across with my post but basically yeah I’m afraid to be my true authentic self with fear that others will feel less than

2024.06.09 23:35 Decent_Association68 Family drama - HELP
Hi. This is my first time making a Reddit or posting. I love THT, I’ve listened religiously since the first episode (on patreon too). Truly never thought I’d be in this situation but here we are. During my entire relationship with my fiancé we have been extremely close to his family. We used to see his aunt, uncle, and mom multiple times per week for dinner and almost all weekends. I even went on vacation with his mom and aunt alone just the 3 of us without my boyfriend (at the time). Fast forward to last summer we moved into his aunt and uncles rental property. It was a good commute to work and we were already seeing them multiple times per week (they live on the floor below the rental apartment). They did offer us a slight family discount (less than 300/month discount). Prior to moving in, the apartment did need a lot of work (multiple broken windows - even one held up by a gym weight, new dishwasher piece, new ceiling in the sunroom, etc). None of this was ever completed. The cosmetics did not bother me much because I thought we’d be saving money however due to almost all the windows being broken our utilities bills were through the roof (700+ a month for heating and cooling on top of the rent). We also have two dogs, and we had to walk down the block and across the main road to let them out. It was not the safest area and I was unable to take them out at night without my fiancé. After months of having a high utility bill, as well as the unsafe environment (my car was also broken into, things stolen), and his uncle refusing to fix anything or even get a new dishwasher piece we were frustrated. My fiancé ended up getting an amazing job that required travel.
I voiced my concern to my parents about being alone in the apartment, as well as having to take the dogs out at night on my own. My parents have two houses and most of the time live in another state. They offered me their house in a neighboring town, rent free (we only have to pay utility bills and HOA). This house is in a very safe walkable community with a gym and pool and a lot of perks. We also would be saving over 1500 a month. We also have a wedding coming up in 2 1/2 months and this seemed amazing in terms of paying for the wedding as well. It was an offer we couldn’t pass up. We gave his aunt and Uncle notice in March before rent was due. We said that we would give him a 60 day notice and pay for the full 60 days even though we would be moving out in 30 days. We paid for March and April and ended up moving out beginning of April. This caused a lot of tension in the family and they were extremely upset with us. We caught them talking about us behind our backs which we expected. They talked “shit” about us to multiple family members (someone even sent us a message that wasn’t meant for us). Long story short, we ended up having a discussion with them and we thought we smoothed everything over. In the beginning of May, his uncle reached out to us asking where the May rent was. We were extremely confused. We explained that we gave a 60 day notice and paid for the full 60 days already and if we paid for May that would be 90 days. His uncle said that since we were already planning on staying for March that it didn’t count towards the 60 days and was extremely argumentative through text. I explained that for a normal notice as tenants that you are allowed to stay there even after notice is given. I even apologized if there was any miscommunication and offered to pay for half the month to attempt to smooth things over with his family since we used to be so close. He never responded to the text and did not take me up on my offer. A few days later, we found out that he called multiple family members and was talking about us and asking his other uncle advice on the situation and if we were wrong(his other uncle has been a landlord for 20+ years) The Uncle who is the landlord, ended up telling him that he was wrong and we did give a full 60 day notice properly. A few days after we were at a large family function, and they were normal towards my fiancé, but did not treat me like they normally do. They were blatantly, excluding me, not speaking to me, and not being normal around me. Even my fiance made a comment that they were treating him normally but me like shit. Obviously, I did not say anything in the moment and did not want to cause a scene. The function went on normally otherwise. I have not seen them since. My fiancé saw them yesterday while I was at work and was texting me about it. Basically his uncle would not even look at him or have any sort of conversation with him. They started planning a family vacation in front of him and blatantly did not invite him. When he said something, they said “ oh we thought you would be working”. A few other inappropriate comments were made to him, but my fiancé did not say anything.
So…. Our wedding is 2 1/2 months away. The rehearsal dinner the night before includes our immediate family and both wedding parties. The aunt and uncle did get a room for the night of the rehearsal dinner and I believe are expecting to be invited to the rehearsal dinner. Neither of them are in the wedding. Is it wrong of me to not want to invite them? If I get pushback Should I just let it go and have them come or stand my ground? I obviously don’t want to cause more drama especially at my own wedding, but don’t feel like I should have people there that I don’t want to be there and will ruin my mood. I also feel like they can be fake towards our face and I only want to be surrounded by people who are genuinely happy for us. My fiancé is okay with not inviting them and says it is up to me and whatever makes me comfortable and he is perfectly fine with not having them especially because they aren’t even in the wedding.
My other main question is we are starting to disagree on how to handle this moving forward. I told my fiancé that I am unsure if I want a relationship with them anymore and he said that is fine and my choice and he supports it. He said he doesn’t care to have that much of a relationship with them anymore , and we don’t really see them anymore anyway. However, when comments are made or we are blatantly being treated poorly, I no longer want to just keep my head down. I’m not saying I want to start any drama or a big scene but I do want to somehow put my foot down and make it known that I will not be treated like this. My Fiancé says we should just let it happen and let them act that way and ignore it. I just don’t know if I’m okay letting people walk all over us and letting them blatantly treat us poorly to our faces and behind our backs. He says even if we do stick up for ourselves it won’t change anything or change their behavior. If we aren’t really seeing them often I’m thinking I should just let them act how they want and suck it up. I’m really unsure how to handle this moving forward. I obviously don’t want to cause any big arguments or drama. How would you handle it? Am I overreacting? I’m wondering if I am just being sensitive because we were once so close and I’m hurt. Should I just let it go if it happens in person and maintain some peace? HELP. Also please be nice and I am open to any and all opinions and advice. Thank you!

2024.06.09 23:31 alex_is_the_name -New neighbour downstairs already aggressively banging on the ceiling complaining about noise twice in the space of 24 hours. What do i do?
Hi there so i’ve been living in my flat for about a year and a half now. The downstairs flat has been vacant for a few months due to renovations. I wasn’t even aware somebody had moved in until I heard massive aggressive banging last night when I dropped some shoes at about 2am. It was obvious someone was complaining on me being too loud. So I proceeded to be a lot more quiet as i’be been quite relaxed because of the vacancy.
Fast forward to this evening I was trying to put up some blackout blinds and in the space of about half an hour I dropped 2 items by accident. The second Item I dropped was my wifi box which immediately followed with really aggressive banging again. It’s been stressing me out as now I feel I have to tiptoe and worry about everything I do. The floors are so thin and bouncy and you can hear all the washing machines from all the flats it’s a 3 storey building. It’s literally impossible not to be loud. The guy upstairs is really loud at night but I’ve just learn’t to try to ignore it because of how bad the floors are. And not to mention that i’m not a cunt.
So basically I thought about going downstairs and introducing myself and just apologising however i’m torn because if they couldn’t just come upstairs and talk to me like an adult then why should I bother? Instead I was met with just aggressive banging even from even littlest of things which I really can’t control. I’m being more aware of how I am in the flat. I’ve logged the accounts just incase it keeps happening so if I ever need to make a complaint.
I struggle really bad with mental health and get stressed out very easily from people yet I feel like this person is being really unreasonable and aggressive. Any advice? Should I go and speak to them? I’ve heard how they talk on the phone and they don’t sound the most pleasant person to deal with or friendly. I’ve no idea what I would be walking into but already. Please help!

2024.06.09 23:27 L-DFile What I expect in the VS Blackbeard arc
Not long ago, I made a post about what my expectations are for the Elbaf arc. And it that list, I believed that the end of that arc could be a setup for the next Arc where Emperors Luffy & Teach will have their long awaited war!
While Idk exactly how, where, and/or when it will happen, I do in fact have a list of what my expectations will be for that very arc, which will be the main topic of this post. So without further ado, let's begin shall we.
What will inspire Luffy to go face Teach?
Besides being partly responsible for what happened to Ace & the WB Pirates, there are more good reasons why Luffy would go after Blackbeard, regardless of what his crew may think. For example, there's:
‐ The attack on Amazon Lily, where Teach tried to kill Hancock in an effort to get her Love Love Fruit, even though Rayleigh was able to thwart it in the last minute.
-Auger & Aokiji kidnapping Pudding, although that would mostly be something that will inspire Sanji to join Luffy in facing his fellow Emperor.
-Garp's capture, and possible execution (which I'll explain a bit more later in the post).
And although it hasn't happened yet, we can assume that Teach will kill Shanks not long after their long awaited reunion.
Plus, let's not forget that both Fishman & Wano will perish the moment Caribou tells the Blackbeard Pirates that 2 of the Ancient weapons are located there! And I don't expect Caribou to receive the same redemption arc Bellamy did.
Who will side with Luffy during this arc?
Based on what I have said on the 1st part, it should stand to reason that the Strawhats' side in this arc will most likely be an alliance involving the Big Mom Pirates, Hancock's group, and the Marines lead by Koby.
But while this kind of alliance is possible, the only question is whether or not they will put aside their differences & work together! After all:
- The Big Mom Pirates may hold a grudge against the Strawhats for what happened to their mother even though it was mostly Kid & Law's doing.
-Although Hancock would do almost anything for Luffy, there's also a chance her bias thoughts on Koby & Vegapunk for what they did to her homeland may cloud her judgment, whether or not she would at least give them a chance to earn her trust like Luffy did.
- Due to the events in Egghead, some Marines may not want to risk whatever is left of their resources to save Garp, even if there willing to get help from another Emperor like Luffy to do so.
However, since Luffy has the power to make those around him into his allies, I can see a moment similar to what he did in Udon where he inspires them to choose whether or not they'll join forces.
Buggy & Cross Guild's involvement
Back when we last saw Buggy, we not only watched him bravely stand up to his "commanders", and but also announced to everyone that Cross Guild will participate in the search for the One Piece.
And with the help of the recent chapter where we saw Crocodile's reaction to Vegapunk's message, including the part about the Ancient Weapons, this could be by far the only thing that could inspire all members to help each other get what they want, regardless of the risk.
Unfortunately, since the Blackbeard Pirates were able to get their hands on Garp, who is on their wanted list, I can see this leading to an event where 2 Emperor class crew will organize a public execution that will force Luffy & Koby's group to go to war with similar to how the Marineford war was set up. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Crocodile & Mihawk use this as a way to punish Buggy for trying to get his way.
However, I also believe that the Genius Jester will find a way to get the last laugh. Because let's not forget that Buggy was in fact the very 1st person to learn about the unusual things involving Teach, which he would eventually tell Shanks about. So in the likely event Shanks won't be around long enough to tell Luffy, then it would only make sense for Buggy to help him on his fellow Emperor's behalf, even if it was never intentional. And since the main topic is on Teach himself, I will now begin the next part of the post which involves more about him.
More information on Blackbeard himself
In one of the recent chapters, when Saturn was talking to Devon & Auger, Blackbeard's "special linage" was mentioned, which made some fans & myself very curious on.
Now I don't know what it really means, but I do know that sooner or later, the full revelation of it will have an important role in the final saga to moment we get more of it. It may even have to do with why he wanted to make Beehive Island a country that is affiliated with the government.
As for how the SH themselves may know about it, my best guess is that they'll learn it from either Marco (who was formally in the same crew as Teach), Shanks (who was scared by him), and of course Buggy (which I have mentioned earlier).
Aokiji's inner conflict
Ever since the day when Aokiji was revealed to be the 10th Titanic Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, I strongly believe that it is more inevitable for Luffy to recruit his final Senior Officer now more than ever! And since he was partly one of the people who captured Pudding, it would make sense for Sanji to be his opponent when the time comes!
However, there are some people who think that Aokiji won't stay loyal to Teach forever, even though we will need more time to see how his character arc plays out.
Law's comeback
Just like what I said with Kid on my Elbaf list, I also believe that Law's time in the story isn't over yet. And some obvious reasons for that are that he still needs to know more about the D initial, as well as wanting to save his crew from the Blackbeard Pirates, which will somehow lead him to reunite with the Strawhats, and also join their alliance in that arc.
Who knows, on the off chance Teach were to meet his end in that arc, while he is still alive, perhaps Law might end up inheriting his Emperor title just as Bepo hoped for in one of the recent recap episodes.
Garp's future fate
Now I can't guarantee whether or not Garp will be saved. But I do believe that what he told Koby & the others about how the young generation's safety is a major priority will have an even bigger role in that arc.
But at the same time, I would also like this to be a decent chance for either Luffy or Garp to have a moment of realization and accept that they may not have been in the right as they once thought, as well as question if the path they chose was a good one.
Anyway, this is everything I have to say, but what do you think? If you have any opinions on this topic, or know something else i may have missed, then please tell me in the comments section below. Thank you!

2024.06.09 23:25 Savoir_faire81 The sleep when injured mechanic. Why it may not be working and a workaround to make it function.
I am fairly new to to Kenshi so maybe this is all well known but in my attempts to find information on this I have seen very little good information and several instances of people just stating that the mechanic is broken and can't be fixed. So I started looking for a mod and didn't find one, and then I started looking for a work around and found a set of conditions to workaround the limitations of the mechanic.
As I write this I am watching my camp of 47 Ronin kill beak things in Gut, while rescuing and healing one another and sleeping in the camp beds I put down all automatically.
Here is how to make the mechanic function.

As I write this I am watching my camp of 47 Ronin kill beak things in Gut, while rescuing and healing one another and sleeping in the camp beds I put down all automatically.
Here is how to make the mechanic function.
- Obviously the sleep when injured box must be clicked in the AI menu.
- The Jobs button must be on for each unit you want to auto sleep.
- The jobs in each unit que must not be something that requires immediate work. So as example if you set them to mine and there is mining to do they will never rest. This unfortunately also includes the "follow" command as well as any command to sit on a particular piece of furniture.. The rescue and medic commands can be in the que, but as long as there is someone to rescue or medic they will prioritize that over sleep. I did not do an exhaustive test of every command so this may take some trial and error. If all the other factors I outline here are correct try clearing the queue of all jobs and adding one at a time back in and you might find the problem.
- The area you rest in must be recognized as your outpost. This means that it's not enough to just toss down some camping beds. You apparently need at least one building you own nearby. I built one small shack for this. After that I was able to lay out 30 camping beds and they are recognized as places to sleep.
- Finally you must not have the units selected. If you have them selected to give an order the game sees that as priority and they will not sleep. I simply click on my Pack Bull and my units auto heal after that.

Because let's not forget that Buggy was in fact the very 1st person to learn about the unusual things involving Teach, which he would eventually tell Shanks about. So in the likely event Shanks won't be around long enough to tell Luffy, then it would only make sense for Buggy to help him on his fellow Emperor's behalf, even if it was never intentional. And since the main topic is on Teach himself, I will now begin the next part of the post which involves more about him.
More information on Blackbeard himself
In one of the recent chapters, when Saturn was talking to Devon & Auger, Blackbeard's "special linage" was mentioned, which made some fans & myself very curious on.
Now I don't know what it really means, but I do know that sooner or later, the full revelation of it will have an important role in the final saga to moment we get more of it. It may even have to do with why he wanted to make Beehive Island a country that is affiliated with the government.
As for how the SH themselves may know about it, my best guess is that they'll learn it from either Marco (who was formally in the same crew as Teach), Shanks (who was scared by him), and of course Buggy (which I have mentioned earlier).
Aokiji's inner conflict
Ever since the day when Aokiji was revealed to be the 10th Titanic Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, I strongly believe that it is more inevitable for Luffy to recruit his final Senior Officer now more than ever! And since he was partly one of the people who captured Pudding, it would make sense for Sanji to be his opponent when the time comes!
However, there are some people who think that Aokiji won't stay loyal to Teach forever, even though we will need more time to see how his character arc plays out.
Law's comeback
Just like what I said with Kid on my Elbaf list, I also believe that Law's time in the story isn't over yet. And some obvious reasons for that are that he still needs to know more about the D initial, as well as wanting to save his crew from the Blackbeard Pirates, which will somehow lead him to reunite with the Strawhats, and also join their alliance in that arc.
Who knows, on the off chance Teach were to meet his end in that arc, while he is still alive, perhaps Law might end up inheriting his Emperor title just as Bepo hoped for in one of the recent recap episodes.
Garp's future fate
Now I can't guarantee whether or not Garp will be saved. But I do believe that what he told Koby & the others about how the young generation's safety is a major priority will have an even bigger role in that arc.
But at the same time, I would also like this to be a decent chance for either Luffy or Garp to have a moment of realization and accept that they may not have been in the right as they once thought, as well as question if the path they chose was a good one.
Anyway, this is everything I have to say, but what do you think? If you have any opinions on this topic, or know something else i may have missed, then please tell me in the comments section below. Thank you!
submitted by L-DFile to OnePiece [link] [comments]
While Idk exactly how, where, and/or when it will happen, I do in fact have a list of what my expectations will be for that very arc, which will be the main topic of this post. So without further ado, let's begin shall we.
What will inspire Luffy to go face Teach?
Besides being partly responsible for what happened to Ace & the WB Pirates, there are more good reasons why Luffy would go after Blackbeard, regardless of what his crew may think. For example, there's:
‐ The attack on Amazon Lily, where Teach tried to kill Hancock in an effort to get her Love Love Fruit, even though Rayleigh was able to thwart it in the last minute.
-Auger & Aokiji kidnapping Pudding, although that would mostly be something that will inspire Sanji to join Luffy in facing his fellow Emperor.
-Garp's capture, and possible execution (which I'll explain a bit more later in the post).
And although it hasn't happened yet, we can assume that Teach will kill Shanks not long after their long awaited reunion.
Plus, let's not forget that both Fishman & Wano will perish the moment Caribou tells the Blackbeard Pirates that 2 of the Ancient weapons are located there! And I don't expect Caribou to receive the same redemption arc Bellamy did.
Who will side with Luffy during this arc?
Based on what I have said on the 1st part, it should stand to reason that the Strawhats' side in this arc will most likely be an alliance involving the Big Mom Pirates, Hancock's group, and the Marines lead by Koby.
But while this kind of alliance is possible, the only question is whether or not they will put aside their differences & work together! After all:
- The Big Mom Pirates may hold a grudge against the Strawhats for what happened to their mother even though it was mostly Kid & Law's doing.
-Although Hancock would do almost anything for Luffy, there's also a chance her bias thoughts on Koby & Vegapunk for what they did to her homeland may cloud her judgment, whether or not she would at least give them a chance to earn her trust like Luffy did.
- Due to the events in Egghead, some Marines may not want to risk whatever is left of their resources to save Garp, even if there willing to get help from another Emperor like Luffy to do so.
However, since Luffy has the power to make those around him into his allies, I can see a moment similar to what he did in Udon where he inspires them to choose whether or not they'll join forces.
Buggy & Cross Guild's involvement
Back when we last saw Buggy, we not only watched him bravely stand up to his "commanders", and but also announced to everyone that Cross Guild will participate in the search for the One Piece.
And with the help of the recent chapter where we saw Crocodile's reaction to Vegapunk's message, including the part about the Ancient Weapons, this could be by far the only thing that could inspire all members to help each other get what they want, regardless of the risk.
Unfortunately, since the Blackbeard Pirates were able to get their hands on Garp, who is on their wanted list, I can see this leading to an event where 2 Emperor class crew will organize a public execution that will force Luffy & Koby's group to go to war with similar to how the Marineford war was set up. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Crocodile & Mihawk use this as a way to punish Buggy for trying to get his way.
However, I also believe that the Genius Jester will find a way to get the last laugh. Because let's not forget that Buggy was in fact the very 1st person to learn about the unusual things involving Teach, which he would eventually tell Shanks about. So in the likely event Shanks won't be around long enough to tell Luffy, then it would only make sense for Buggy to help him on his fellow Emperor's behalf, even if it was never intentional.

2024.06.09 23:16 throwaway_losttime Daughter and I both lost 11 minutes while driving together
TL:DR - My daughter and I were driving together on a well-known route, somehow traveled 2.5 miles in the blink of an eye, and lost 11 minutes.
I'm still wrapping my head around this, and I'm not even sure how to describe what happened to us, but I need to write this down in detail so that I can remind myself later that I didn't imagine it. Or maybe to remind myself that I'm not crazy and that it actually happened? I need to write this out because if I just keep going over and over it in my head, I'm going to wear myself out. This happened today, just about seven hours ago, and I'm still not sure how to process it. I hope that by writing this out I can stop torturing myself with questions.
I'm a woman in my mid-40s, I am mentally healthy, and while I believe that there are things humans can't explain, I don't experience things like this ever. (Like, if you tell me you saw a ghost, I'd believe that you are telling me your truth, but I don't experience a lot of weird shit myself, you know?) If I had been driving alone this morning and this happened, I honestly would have just been all, "Nope, that didn't happen," and I probably would just convince myself that nothing weird happened at all. All this to say that I don't normally have this kind of thing happen, and I have also been sober for over a decade. My daughter is 16 and is young and healthy. We weren't drunk, high, impaired, or otherwise experiencing non-reality.
This was around 6:30 a.m., and neither one of us was mentally altered, we were both a little bit tired from waking up early. My daughter has a job at a children's summer camp about an hour from our house, and she was home this weekend to do laundry and relax. She was supposed to be back at camp on Sunday (today) at 7 a.m. to get ready for campers arriving in the afternoon.
She told me she wanted to be there a little earlier than 7, so I set my alarm for 4:45 a.m., and in total I got about 4.5 hours of sleep. I woke her up at 5:00 a.m. and she took a shower and finished packing her bags. We left our house around 5:40, and when we were about 10 minutes away, we had to turn around because she had forgotten something important. No biggie, I turned around, she got her stuff, we headed to go get coffee. My coffee receipt says 5:58 a.m. The GPS estimated that we would get from the coffee shop to camp at 6:44, totally normal for this early in the morning. If it was afternoon and there was traffic it could possibly take an hour or an hour-ten.
The route to camp is very straightforward, and I have driven this route six times already just this summer (to drop her off or pick her up, and also because I work for the organization that runs the camp, so I have also had to go out there twice to do paperwork). Not to mention the dozens of times I've made this trip in previous years, either for work or to take my daughter to camp when she was little.
From our neighborhood, you can take two different routes for about the first 6 miles of the trip, but the next 26 miles are always the same. There is only one route to this camp, and I know my way there and back like the back of my hand. (I use the GPS because I like knowing how much time is left on my drive. Like if I need to stop and use the restroom or can I make it the final 15 minutes or whatever, you know?)
So basically, take route A or route B the first 6 miles, take a right turn onto State Highway and head west, drive another 19 miles, turn right onto Rural Road and head north (there's a huge convenience store and a stoplight at that intersection, you can't miss it), and then about 7 miles later you're at camp.
We started an album on Spotify by a band that we both enjoy, and while I was tired, I wasn't "fall asleep at the wheel and drive off the road tired" - I was sipping my coffee, we were both kind of just listening to the music and not talking much. It was dark when we left, but by the time we got to the 2/3 point of the drive, the sky was lightening up a bit.
The last song of the band's album came on, then when it ended another song by the same band started. I hadn't heard it before, I didn't like it very much, and I assumed that Spotify had just finished the album and then started up a different album by the same band. But when I looked at my car's dashboard screen, it showed that the song was part of the album I had chosen. I hadn't heard this song at the end of the album the other twenty times I've listened to it, so that's weird, but maybe it's an extended edition album or something on Spotify. No biggie. I asked my daughter to take my phone and go ahead and put on what she wanted to listen to next.
She chose a lady singer who had opened for the first band at their concert we saw earlier this year in January, and she queued up four songs she liked. She put my phone back on the dashboard phone mount, and the first song started to play. We were both still just kind of bobbing our heads and waking up, and we turned around a bend of the highway. The first song by the lady ends and the second song starts.
At this point we're just about 1.5 miles to the final turn, where we turn right from the State Highway onto Rural Road. We had just passed a restaurant/landmark that I always know means we're about to make that final turn, so I'm glad that my drive is almost over. I'm eager to stop at camp and pee, drop my daughter and her luggage off, chat with some folks I know from work, and then go home. I sipped my coffee, and there was about an inch of coffee left in the paper cup. The upcoming last leg of the drive, from turning onto Rural Road to the camp gates should take about 12 minutes.
We come around the final little curve of the highway before the intersection, and I'm keeping an eye out for the convenience store that marks the turn onto Rural Road. We're pretty much the only car on the four-lane State Highway going our direction. I'm in the left lane, and there's a dark-color little station wagon/mini-SUV in the right lane just about 4-5 car lengths ahead of me. That car puts on its breaks, not hard like there's an emergency, but a little bit sudden, and then pulls over onto the shoulder of the highway.
It doesn't look like they're in trouble, the little navy blue Subaru isn't smoking or busted a tire or anything, so I don't think much of it. As we pass it my daughter turns her head to look out her window at the car, and I proceed west toward the final little bend in the highway before we get to the stoplight to turn onto Rural Road.
Suddenly there are big orange construction barrels lining the highway. They've got the 4-lane highway down to just two lanes, one in each direction. I knew they had been doing construction, but the last time I drove to camp on Friday evening to pick up my daughter, the construction had been farther down the highway, on the west side of the intersection at Rural Road where the State Highway continues going West. Guess the construction is now extending up this far, okay, no problem.
The sky is even lighter, and then I see a big stone/brick sign on the right hand side of the road marking the entrance to a subdivision I've never seen before. That's weird.
I glance at the GPS to see it telling me to turn right onto a little road I've never seen before, and I remark to my daughter, "Is it taking me to a shortcut? I've literally never seen this road before." At this point, the convenience store should be in sight just ahead. I have no idea what this road is.
She shrugs, we turn right and drive north onto the little paved road where the GPS told us to turn, but we're both really confused. There isn't any "shortcut" to camp, it's only Rural Road. There's only one way in or out of camp. We frown and start saying, "This is weird."
There's not much on this little paved road, we've been driving for about a minute, maybe minute-and-a-half. On our right we pass a small brick sign marking an events hall, like the kind of place you could rent out for a wedding or something. Then I see a power substation ahead on the left, so I gesture to the grassy fields on both sides of the road, and I joke, "Oh look, the GPS is taking us on a shortcut with a very scenic view of the power station, check out these beautiful views." LOL, I'm a riot.
I slow down on the little 2-lane paved road, there's no cars behind us that would care, and I tap my phone screen and zoom the GPS map out, to get a bigger view of where I'm supposed to be going. About a mile ahead is a Y-intersection/fork in the road, and the GPS is telling me to make a U-turn at the fork, head back south, and then turn left to drive eastward on State Highway, then turn left/north onto Rural Road. WTF? This isn't right. It's very much... wrong. This is wrong.
So instead of going another half-mile to the fork in the road, I decide to just U-turn in the gravel driveway of the power substation. So I pull into the power substation, U-turn, and go back up the little road, frowning at the GPS and looking at my daughter all, "What the fuck? Where are we? What is going on?" I can't concentrate with the music playing (the third song she had queued up), so I turn the volume all the way down.
We drive another minute or so to get back to the top of the little paved road where it T-intersects with State Highway and wait for a green light so we can turn left, and the whole time we're freaking out. Where are we, why are we here? And my daughter is so nervous/upset that she's laughing, like uncontrollable nervous laughter. Suddenly she goes, "What the fuck?" and points to the GPS, and now our estimated time of arrival at camp is no longer 6:44, it's 6:55 a.m.... WTF WTF WTF. We "lost" 11 minutes? How?
She's still laughing, putting her hand on my shoulder, like, "Mom, what just happened? What the fuck? We lost time?"
I'm trying to figure out what the fuck just happened, we're now going east on State Highway back toward the intersection to Rural Road, and I'm just... I don't know what's happening.
We come back to the big sign for the subdivision (passing it on our left), and then we go over a bridge that we don't remember going over at all the first time. We never drove over this bridge while we were heading west. We were less than a mile from the turn onto Rural Road, and we blinked, and suddenly we were passing the construction barrels and the subdivision sign.
We approach the intersection to turn left onto Rural Road, and we realize that the construction barrels do NOT go past that intersection. There are zero orange barrels on the east side of the convenience store. There are zero construction barrels where we saw the other car pull over.
We turn onto Rural Road and start trying to piece this together. What the fuck just happened? We were both on the lookout for the convenience store that we know so well, that we've stopped at dozens of times on our way to camp, that we KNOW marks the north/east corner of the intersection to turn right onto Rural Road, but it's like we both blinked and suddenly we were on the west side of the intersection.
She's still laughing, unsettled as all hell, we still have another ten minutes to drive down Rural Road to the camp gates, we're both talking over each other, and piecing it together. And it's like, no. This is not possible, it's not right. Something happened. Because from where we last remember (being on the east side of that intersection and seeing that car put its brakes on and pull over) to where we saw the subdivision sign and where the GPS told us to turn onto the little paved road, is just 2.5 miles, it would only take 2 minutes to drive. Where did a full 9 more minutes go? How did this happen? What the fuck happened?
I'm all, "That was fucked up."
"No, Mom, that was more than fucked up."
"Well, I don't have a word for 'more than fucked up,' so give me a little credit here. I don't know what the fuck just happened."
She's like, "How do we explain this to anyone?"
"You don't. You can't talk to anyone about this, they'll think you're crazy. I'm tempted to say it didn't happen and we both imagined it and we should never talk about it again."
She goes, "You know, when the GPS told us to turn onto that little road it felt wrong."
"I know, like something was wrong? That's not the way to camp?"
"No, Mom. Like wrong wrong. I just felt wrong. Everything in my body was screaming that it was wrong."
"I know, I know... I felt weird, too. But I don't know what happened."
"Okay, but..." She starts talking, and I pick up my coffee cup to find it's empty. There had been a good sip or two left just before the convenience store, and now it's gone. That freaks me out. My daughter is still going back over what happened, talking about the last "normal" part of the drive while we were heading west and looking for the convenience store turnoff.
"We were driving toward the turnoff to camp, and the second song came on, and I remember seeing that gray Tesla brake hard and pull over, and I was like-"
"Wait, a gray Tesla? No, it was a blue Suburban. I remember thinking it was a Mom car."
She's like, "Noooo, it was a gray Tesla. I swear it was a gray Tesla."
"But it was kind of light outside by that time. How did we both see a different car?"
She's still laughing really nervously, "Okaaay, so... Did this just happen? We were driving to the intersection, the second song came on, we lost 11 minutes, we both saw a different car, we have never missed the turn to camp, we've never driven past that subdivision before... what the fuck?"
"Yeah, the second song ended, the third song came on, and what song is it on now?" (Because I'm thinking we can estimate how long the four songs should have taken.)
She picks up my phone, and it's playing the second song she queued up. I shivered, and she's like, "Nope nope nope. Not happening, this is not happening."
We just... we can't wrap our heads around this. We pulled up at camp, and I checked my Google Maps history but I don't have it turned on. I can't think of any other way to try to see what happened during those 11 minutes/2.5 miles. I'm stumped.
If you read this far, congratulations, you have earned my respect. I can barely understand it myself. If you know why or how or what the fuck is going on, I'd appreciate it.
Neither of us felt... damaged, you know? We didn't feel physically harmed, we didn't feel like we had crashed or been probed or anything. In fact, halfway through my drive home I realized my sore throat from seasonal allergies was completely gone, and my sinuses were clear instead of clogged. Did we get abducted by aliens and they healed my sore throat? Did we crash and quantum leap into a different universe? Did we drive through a wormhole that transported us 2.5 miles to the west for some reason? Was the gray Tesla/blue Suburban an alien vehicle and my daughter wasn't supposed to look directly at it?
I want to know what happened, but just reading through everything I've written makes my eyes water with fear. I kind of want to ignore it, chalk it up to us both being tired, and then never talk about it again.

This happened today, just about seven hours ago, and I'm still not sure how to process it. I hope that by writing this out I can stop torturing myself with questions.
I'm a woman in my mid-40s, I am mentally healthy, and while I believe that there are things humans can't explain, I don't experience things like this ever. (Like, if you tell me you saw a ghost, I'd believe that you are telling me your truth, but I don't experience a lot of weird shit myself, you know?) If I had been driving alone this morning and this happened, I honestly would have just been all, "Nope, that didn't happen," and I probably would just convince myself that nothing weird happened at all. All this to say that I don't normally have this kind of thing happen, and I have also been sober for over a decade. My daughter is 16 and is young and healthy. We weren't drunk, high, impaired, or otherwise experiencing non-reality.
This was around 6:30 a.m., and neither one of us was mentally altered, we were both a little bit tired from waking up early. My daughter has a job at a children's summer camp about an hour from our house, and she was home this weekend to do laundry and relax. She was supposed to be back at camp on Sunday (today) at 7 a.m. to get ready for campers arriving in the afternoon.
She told me she wanted to be there a little earlier than 7, so I set my alarm for 4:45 a.m., and in total I got about 4.5 hours of sleep. I woke her up at 5:00 a.m. and she took a shower and finished packing her bags. We left our house around 5:40, and when we were about 10 minutes away, we had to turn around because she had forgotten something important. No biggie, I turned around, she got her stuff, we headed to go get coffee. My coffee receipt says 5:58 a.m. The GPS estimated that we would get from the coffee shop to camp at 6:44, totally normal for this early in the morning. If it was afternoon and there was traffic it could possibly take an hour or an hour-ten.
The route to camp is very straightforward, and I have driven this route six times already just this summer (to drop her off or pick her up, and also because I work for the organization that runs the camp, so I have also had to go out there twice to do paperwork). Not to mention the dozens of times I've made this trip in previous years, either for work or to take my daughter to camp when she was little.
From our neighborhood, you can take two different routes for about the first 6 miles of the trip, but the next 26 miles are always the same. There is only one route to this camp, and I know my way there and back like the back of my hand. (I use the GPS because I like knowing how much time is left on my drive. Like if I need to stop and use the restroom or can I make it the final 15 minutes or whatever, you know?)
So basically, take route A or route B the first 6 miles, take a right turn onto State Highway and head west, drive another 19 miles, turn right onto Rural Road and head north (there's a huge convenience store and a stoplight at that intersection, you can't miss it), and then about 7 miles later you're at camp.
We started an album on Spotify by a band that we both enjoy, and while I was tired, I wasn't "fall asleep at the wheel and drive off the road tired" - I was sipping my coffee, we were both kind of just listening to the music and not talking much. It was dark when we left, but by the time we got to the 2/3 point of the drive, the sky was lightening up a bit.
The last song of the band's album came on, then when it ended another song by the same band started. I hadn't heard it before, I didn't like it very much, and I assumed that Spotify had just finished the album and then started up a different album by the same band. But when I looked at my car's dashboard screen, it showed that the song was part of the album I had chosen. I hadn't heard this song at the end of the album the other twenty times I've listened to it, so that's weird, but maybe it's an extended edition album or something on Spotify. No biggie. I asked my daughter to take my phone and go ahead and put on what she wanted to listen to next.
She chose a lady singer who had opened for the first band at their concert we saw earlier this year in January, and she queued up four songs she liked. She put my phone back on the dashboard phone mount, and the first song started to play. We were both still just kind of bobbing our heads and waking up, and we turned around a bend of the highway. The first song by the lady ends and the second song starts.
At this point we're just about 1.5 miles to the final turn, where we turn right from the State Highway onto Rural Road. We had just passed a restaurant/landmark that I always know means we're about to make that final turn, so I'm glad that my drive is almost over. I'm eager to stop at camp and pee, drop my daughter and her luggage off, chat with some folks I know from work, and then go home. I sipped my coffee, and there was about an inch of coffee left in the paper cup. The upcoming last leg of the drive, from turning onto Rural Road to the camp gates should take about 12 minutes.
We come around the final little curve of the highway before the intersection, and I'm keeping an eye out for the convenience store that marks the turn onto Rural Road. We're pretty much the only car on the four-lane State Highway going our direction. I'm in the left lane, and there's a dark-color little station wagon/mini-SUV in the right lane just about 4-5 car lengths ahead of me. That car puts on its breaks, not hard like there's an emergency, but a little bit sudden, and then pulls over onto the shoulder of the highway.
It doesn't look like they're in trouble, the little navy blue Subaru isn't smoking or busted a tire or anything, so I don't think much of it. As we pass it my daughter turns her head to look out her window at the car, and I proceed west toward the final little bend in the highway before we get to the stoplight to turn onto Rural Road.
Suddenly there are big orange construction barrels lining the highway. They've got the 4-lane highway down to just two lanes, one in each direction. I knew they had been doing construction, but the last time I drove to camp on Friday evening to pick up my daughter, the construction had been farther down the highway, on the west side of the intersection at Rural Road where the State Highway continues going West. Guess the construction is now extending up this far, okay, no problem.
The sky is even lighter, and then I see a big stone/brick sign on the right hand side of the road marking the entrance to a subdivision I've never seen before. That's weird.
I glance at the GPS to see it telling me to turn right onto a little road I've never seen before, and I remark to my daughter, "Is it taking me to a shortcut? I've literally never seen this road before." At this point, the convenience store should be in sight just ahead. I have no idea what this road is.
She shrugs, we turn right and drive north onto the little paved road where the GPS told us to turn, but we're both really confused. There isn't any "shortcut" to camp, it's only Rural Road. There's only one way in or out of camp. We frown and start saying, "This is weird."
There's not much on this little paved road, we've been driving for about a minute, maybe minute-and-a-half. On our right we pass a small brick sign marking an events hall, like the kind of place you could rent out for a wedding or something. Then I see a power substation ahead on the left, so I gesture to the grassy fields on both sides of the road, and I joke, "Oh look, the GPS is taking us on a shortcut with a very scenic view of the power station, check out these beautiful views." LOL, I'm a riot.
I slow down on the little 2-lane paved road, there's no cars behind us that would care, and I tap my phone screen and zoom the GPS map out, to get a bigger view of where I'm supposed to be going. About a mile ahead is a Y-intersection/fork in the road, and the GPS is telling me to make a U-turn at the fork, head back south, and then turn left to drive eastward on State Highway, then turn left/north onto Rural Road. WTF? This isn't right. It's very much... wrong. This is wrong.
So instead of going another half-mile to the fork in the road, I decide to just U-turn in the gravel driveway of the power substation. So I pull into the power substation, U-turn, and go back up the little road, frowning at the GPS and looking at my daughter all, "What the fuck? Where are we? What is going on?" I can't concentrate with the music playing (the third song she had queued up), so I turn the volume all the way down.
We drive another minute or so to get back to the top of the little paved road where it T-intersects with State Highway and wait for a green light so we can turn left, and the whole time we're freaking out. Where are we, why are we here? And my daughter is so nervous/upset that she's laughing, like uncontrollable nervous laughter. Suddenly she goes, "What the fuck?" and points to the GPS, and now our estimated time of arrival at camp is no longer 6:44, it's 6:55 a.m.... WTF WTF WTF. We "lost" 11 minutes? How?
She's still laughing, putting her hand on my shoulder, like, "Mom, what just happened? What the fuck? We lost time?"
I'm trying to figure out what the fuck just happened, we're now going east on State Highway back toward the intersection to Rural Road, and I'm just... I don't know what's happening.
We come back to the big sign for the subdivision (passing it on our left), and then we go over a bridge that we don't remember going over at all the first time. We never drove over this bridge while we were heading west. We were less than a mile from the turn onto Rural Road, and we blinked, and suddenly we were passing the construction barrels and the subdivision sign.
We approach the intersection to turn left onto Rural Road, and we realize that the construction barrels do NOT go past that intersection. There are zero orange barrels on the east side of the convenience store. There are zero construction barrels where we saw the other car pull over.
We turn onto Rural Road and start trying to piece this together. What the fuck just happened? We were both on the lookout for the convenience store that we know so well, that we've stopped at dozens of times on our way to camp, that we KNOW marks the north/east corner of the intersection to turn right onto Rural Road, but it's like we both blinked and suddenly we were on the west side of the intersection.
She's still laughing, unsettled as all hell, we still have another ten minutes to drive down Rural Road to the camp gates, we're both talking over each other, and piecing it together. And it's like, no. This is not possible, it's not right. Something happened. Because from where we last remember (being on the east side of that intersection and seeing that car put its brakes on and pull over) to where we saw the subdivision sign and where the GPS told us to turn onto the little paved road, is just 2.5 miles, it would only take 2 minutes to drive. Where did a full 9 more minutes go? How did this happen? What the fuck happened?
I'm all, "That was fucked up."
"No, Mom, that was more than fucked up."
"Well, I don't have a word for 'more than fucked up,' so give me a little credit here. I don't know what the fuck just happened."
She's like, "How do we explain this to anyone?"
"You don't. You can't talk to anyone about this, they'll think you're crazy. I'm tempted to say it didn't happen and we both imagined it and we should never talk about it again."
She goes, "You know, when the GPS told us to turn onto that little road it felt wrong."
"I know, like something was wrong? That's not the way to camp?"
"No, Mom. Like wrong wrong. I just felt wrong. Everything in my body was screaming that it was wrong."
"I know, I know... I felt weird, too. But I don't know what happened."
"Okay, but..." She starts talking, and I pick up my coffee cup to find it's empty. There had been a good sip or two left just before the convenience store, and now it's gone. That freaks me out. My daughter is still going back over what happened, talking about the last "normal" part of the drive while we were heading west and looking for the convenience store turnoff.
"We were driving toward the turnoff to camp, and the second song came on, and I remember seeing that gray Tesla brake hard and pull over, and I was like-"
"Wait, a gray Tesla? No, it was a blue Suburban. I remember thinking it was a Mom car."
She's like, "Noooo, it was a gray Tesla. I swear it was a gray Tesla."
"But it was kind of light outside by that time. How did we both see a different car?"
She's still laughing really nervously, "Okaaay, so... Did this just happen? We were driving to the intersection, the second song came on, we lost 11 minutes, we both saw a different car, we have never missed the turn to camp, we've never driven past that subdivision before... what the fuck?"
"Yeah, the second song ended, the third song came on, and what song is it on now?" (Because I'm thinking we can estimate how long the four songs should have taken.)
She picks up my phone, and it's playing the second song she queued up. I shivered, and she's like, "Nope nope nope. Not happening, this is not happening."
We just... we can't wrap our heads around this. We pulled up at camp, and I checked my Google Maps history but I don't have it turned on. I can't think of any other way to try to see what happened during those 11 minutes/2.5 miles. I'm stumped.
If you read this far, congratulations, you have earned my respect. I can barely understand it myself. If you know why or how or what the fuck is going on, I'd appreciate it.
Neither of us felt... damaged, you know? We didn't feel physically harmed, we didn't feel like we had crashed or been probed or anything. In fact, halfway through my drive home I realized my sore throat from seasonal allergies was completely gone, and my sinuses were clear instead of clogged. Did we get abducted by aliens and they healed my sore throat? Did we crash and quantum leap into a different universe? Did we drive through a wormhole that transported us 2.5 miles to the west for some reason? Was the gray Tesla/blue Suburban an alien vehicle and my daughter wasn't supposed to look directly at it?
I want to know what happened, but just reading through everything I've written makes my eyes water with fear. I kind of want to ignore it, chalk it up to us both being tired, and then never talk about it again.
2024.06.09 23:16 KingKongStomp Lying Friend accuses me of liking his 11-Year-Old Cousin+Update
So I’m a 16-year-old male in my sophomore year and my friend (who we will call LF and has a brother) is 15 and in his freshman year and is accusing me of being a pedophile and let me tell you how it happened. LF introduced me to his cousin on VR months ago on a Sunday and we played Dragon Fist, VR chat, and rec room. We played VR as a trio for weeks until the next day at school after a Sunday. I sat at my desk, which was next to his, and LF asked me if I had a crush on his cousin (who is 11 and we will call FF). I said no, then he asked me again and again on what I thought about her. I said that she was adorable. Let me just say that I thought her hyper energy was adorable because she was hyper during our game sessions and would get really into the game, which was Dragon Fist. LF’s cousin was the one who wanted to know because she thought I did, and he FaceTimed me and her while we were both home, and they talked to me about liking FF (which I didn’t). FF agreed to be my girlfriend (which I thought was a joke and didn’t take seriously). Then months went by and I just stopped talking to them for 1 week because I had a lot going on my mind. Then LF messaged me a long paragraph on how I should “stop being in my feelings,” but me not talking to them was NOT related to them at all, and I had to write an apology message for something I didn’t say. I gave them 2 fruit snacks each as an apology gift, but FF didn’t go to our school (Of Course), so LF had to take all 4 of them home with him so he could give it to FF. Then 2 or 3 hours later after I got home, LF messaged me asking if I put something in the fruit snack. I was asleep at the time, but when I woke up, he called me and asked me the same question, and I said no. Then I asked who accused me of that, and he didn’t wanna say who. I’m guessing LF tried to give it to FF, but one of FF’s parents probably got suspicious, and I can’t blame them since they never met me, and it would be weird to have someone randomly give your child candy unless they are “FRIENDS.” So, I let LF’s twin brother have the fruit snacks instead. And let me tell you guys something that I like about LF’s brother, he’s one of those nice popular kids who is chill, and I would hate to be on his bad side because of how chill he is.
Then me and LF would be on talking terms again after I felt better about life. Then Monday came, we sat next to each other in 1st period, and he invited me to his house on Friday. But then he thinks that it's a bad idea because of FF’s mom who heard about me “dating” FF, so now LF’s aunt hates me, which was okay because I was never planning on going to the barbecue anyway. He said that FF mom would kill me, and I said that I would defend myself if she tried to. Then he tried to scare me by pretending to send a message to FF that said “[My Name] said that he’ll beat up your mom”, which didn’t work at first, but he FF actually sent the message on purpose, he tried to make it seem like a accident but I saw him trying to pretend to scroll up in order to pretend that he pressed the send button on accident. Once I got home, LF called me and told me that his family told him to make an excuse on why I couldn't go there, which I was okay with not going since I have social anxiety and I would only go to places with family. He then said that I was really calm about the situation of his family hating me, which is easy if you don’t personally know the people and if you’ve gotten harassed before. Then we did a back and forth argument about me “liking” his cousin. I thought he was messing with me about dating FF, but he was serious and actually believed I liked her (which I didn’t and I thought the whole thing was a joke), and he was mad about me saying that I said I would beat up his aunt, which is total bull crap because I said that I would just defend myself if she tried to hurt me. Then he said that I should just stop “lying” because that’ll make things worse, so I “told the truth” (which is obviously false) and said that I did say I was going to beat up his aunt (Even though he threatened me with her), then he went to his other cousin’s house after hanging up.
Then 24 minutes later he messaged me saying, "[My Name] u gotta stop lying and talkin bout fightin my auntie or ima have to stop talkin to u permanently." And I’m already annoyed that he thought I was actually being serious about dating his fking 11-year-old cousin, now he's saying I would hurt someone for no reason.
2 things I need to mention before finishing, one of them is that I’m of average height with wrestling and boxing experience and I’m not calling myself a master at both but I’m pretty good at them and I’m willing to defend myself if someone threatens me with murder or violence, the next thing I wanted to tell you guys is that my friend who I talk to a lot had set me up with a girl on Instagram and I took the opportunity since I know I wasn’t really dating FF and it was probably a joke they made to mess with me about being single at the time before meeting the girl my friend put me on with, but they thought I was serious about the whole thing and LF won’t accept that they just did the whole dating thing to mess with me and to call me a pedo even though it was his idea and I never actually wanted to date his cousin and this whole thing started with me calling his cousin adorable.
Sorry for the yap session, I just needed to make sure that I got every single detail but if something doesn’t add up, then I’ll come back to fix it since I was pretty mad and annoyed while writing this because I had to remember every single detail that happen and it annoys me just thinking about it.
Update:I still talk to LF and randomly during FaceTime he just says to stop lying because I so called “lied.” a lot, I have nothing to gain from lying so why would I lie? and then he said “I’ma be honest with you, FF does not like you, she hates you.” and I’ll be honest, I said that I don’t give a shit if she hates me, its not like I’m ever going to talk to her face to face, in fact I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks of me because I’m still living and that’s the only thing that matters to me, and I said that during the face time and then I just let him win the argument just to make him quiet, then he said that he has to do something and hung up the FaceTime.
Moral of the story, only compliment people who won’t take shit the wrong way.

2024.06.09 23:14 electric_moss Rethinking a lot of things after another fight over inlaws
My inlaws are white (not openly racist but have made remarks and made it clear of who they are). I've never had a great relationship with my inlaws and my SILs have made it clear where they stand - the eldest was openly hateful the first few years of dating. My husband seems to have had a strained relationship with them before we started dating but even if that's true us dating definitely turned a wedge into a rift. Over the years, there have been many instances of slights, comments, and just blatant leaving us out of stuff all of which I rant about at home and my husband sulks but doesn't say anything. I finally reached a place of acceptance with how things were and where we stood after therapy - I chose low-contact which is a choice for my mental well being but also kept it easy for me when big events happened.
Since his dad got diagnosed with cancer I've tried to do more things like the family vacation they planned this year. Unfortunately, even though my husband claims to not be affected by how his family treats him it always seems to trigger him when they do (like any normal person but he thinks this is ok). So on this trip, we got left out of some plans that were being made twice and he was upset - I tried to reason that "hey this isn't any different than when we are back home so no need to take it personally" BUT as the day goes on and comments are made he takes it pretty hard. Eventually we decided to leave early.
After leaving I am trying to be supportive while also remembering my boundaries. He likes to vent and sulk and doesn't really want me to have a dialogue about it. I have a hard time not feeling triggered by these events because a. Duh he's my husband and b. I have a pretty bad history with his family treating me poorly as well. I eventually told him he needed to confront them so this can stop happening because it's putting a strain on our relationship bc I cant talk to him about them at all. He reaches out to them - first saying "we" felt left out (which I was upset about bc WE did not - HE did. He seems scared to deal with them and it makes me feel like he uses me as a shield and scapegoat) and I after I told him that, he confronts me saying I "got him worked up" and he should have never said anything since this was "my issue with them" ?! Obviously this didn't end well, so I pointed out the issue is between them, I don't care to hang out with them at all - I only do it to support him. He is upset with me because they both got mad and started gaslighting him, saying they don't do stuff without us or him (this is an obvious lie). But idk what do at this point but this whole situation has changed my perspective from low-contact to no-contact. He said he is content with a superficial relationship with them and ok if they treat him/us poorly rather than cut them off. I don't know where I stand because I know I want to go no-contact but think this is going to affect our relationship in the long run (as much as it already has).
Has anyone been in this situation? I am feeling really icky about my inlaws and my husband right now.

2024.06.09 23:11 Correct-Art1763 How Supernatural used the low budget to its advantage
Supernatural never should have lasted as long as it did. It went more off the rails the more seasons it had.
Tackling such an imaginative premise with such a low budget was risky. But there was one aspect that I think benefited from it: the Winchesters’ greatest enemies.
I get it. Making dragons and stuff literally just humans was so lame. Having everything look human makes the world feel a lot smaller, doesn’t it? And that church fight in season 13 was beyond pathetic and completely undermined season 5’s entire conflict.
But angels, demons, and gods are special cases. They have true forms. Lucifer’s true face was so overwhelming, I bet that’s what caused Rowena to be set on fire. Castiel’s wings weren’t physical, instead casting shadows with their ethereal presence. I think that’s even better. The big players in this story need a strong presence.
Raphael, rather than us seeing his entire body, he just arrives in human form and tells us that he blacked out the entire Eastern seaboard. All it took was his immediate presence, a background storm, and those energy wings, and I believed him. He was primordial and stronger than you could imagine.
Scenes like these show us that we lowly humans just can’t interact with their true selves without being put through 5 kinds of hell. Michael merely showing up in a bar without a vessel killed everyone in it. Rowena was traumatized by Lucifer’s face and admitted she’s always scared now.
Imagine an absolute monster, the ultimate evil, a being of horror so unimaginable, you can’t fully comprehend their face without burning alive and being traumatized forever. Rowena and Sam Winchester don’t have to, not that the show ever actually did anything with that.
Having such a low budget allowed their greatest enemies to have an otherworldly presence that probably would have been avoided if the budget was high enough. Instead, they used what they had to convey that humans, even we, the audience, were unworthy to see their true forms.
Demon faces would probably instill traumatizing terror. Dean’s sanity was probably ironically protected by the very thing that allowed him to see their faces at the end of his deal. Meanwhile, angels and probably gods are so brilliant, so overwhelming, our eyes would burn out and in Lucifer’s case, might set us on fire.
The whole conflict of season 5 worked well with this too. The conflict wasn’t over who would win the oncoming war, but over if the war would happen or not. If it did, our protagonists lose. The battle itself would devastate the planet no matter who won. So instead of focusing on such a grand, spectacular battle, they focus on what happens if the spectacle is allowed to happen.
Funny how one little fight scene 8 years later destroyed all of that.
Anyway, I think they used the low budget to actually enhance the horror and the gap between humans and celestial beings. Seasons 1-5 used that very well in my opinion.

Tackling such an imaginative premise with such a low budget was risky. But there was one aspect that I think benefited from it: the Winchesters’ greatest enemies.
I get it. Making dragons and stuff literally just humans was so lame. Having everything look human makes the world feel a lot smaller, doesn’t it? And that church fight in season 13 was beyond pathetic and completely undermined season 5’s entire conflict.
But angels, demons, and gods are special cases. They have true forms. Lucifer’s true face was so overwhelming, I bet that’s what caused Rowena to be set on fire. Castiel’s wings weren’t physical, instead casting shadows with their ethereal presence. I think that’s even better. The big players in this story need a strong presence.

2024.06.09 23:06 Knight_2E4 Totally normal to ask strangers when there’s no one else .. right??
Long Story Long: But I’d seriously appreciate some insight!
My husband (38M) and I (38F) are high school sweethearts and have been together over 20 years, married for 17. We don’t fight, nor argue really. I would call disagreements intense discussions. He’s the ying to my yang, we just fit and have developed pretty good communication over the years - but we’ve also put in the work for it.
He became close friends with 2 guys in our neighborhood and since we are moving out of state, the previous weekend has been a blowout. These 2 have joked for over a year about doing mushrooms with him. My husband and I always laughed it off because the man hasn’t ever done anything that wasn’t prescribed to him by a doctor. I have said to the 3 stooges whenever they brought that topic up that I don’t care (because he’s a grown man) but I do think there should be someone sober just in case, especially because my husband is a novice when it comes to that recreation.
Friday was apparently the night - he didn’t come home until 4 am and slept on the couch. I was with everyone until about 8, and went home to clean up and do some chores before the party the next day. Being out later isn’t uncommon, these guys play darts or ride around on the golf car listening to music and drinking a bit. (It’s not often, but there have been some late nights when I can be found right along with them). Saturday evening we had people over for a BBQ and friend #1, James, was recounting some tales to me, his wife and another friend. They were funny, but out of character for my husband when he’s drunk. James’ wife asked, so … what else was involved? James smiled and whispered ‘shrooms’. I didn’t skip a beat and continued on with our conversation.
Fast forward - he’s sawing logs by the time I get in bed. I lay there but can’t fall asleep, my heart is racing and I need to get it off my chest (something we’ve learned together, if its on your mind say it, don’t let it fester and grow).
+I ask why he didn’t tell me about the mushrooms.
+“James said you knew”.
+Um, no, I knew it was talked about previously, but I had no idea there was a plan. Okay, benefit of the doubt, it was a “surprise buddy! Let’s do these!” after I went home for the night. Why could I have not received any communication about it then, nor a mention of it the next day? If James hadn’t said anything would you have even talked to me about it? You know .. how it went, what it felt like .. etc?
+“I didn’t talk to you much today” and again, “James said you knew about it, I didn’t think it was a big deal”
+Well, it hurts that you wouldn’t divulge any of it to me, especially since you want me to pour out my soul to you any time something seems off. It’s kind of hypocritical because we both know you would have lost your mind if you found out from someone else that I had been out until 4am doing shrooms with my 2 friends, riding around and drinking. *I would like to note that I do get animated when I talk, and I was a Disney illustration at this point.*
I think the role reversal scenario is what did it because he leapt out of bed and turned the light on, slamming the door open and YELLING at me (why he opened the door I don’t know, nor do I really remember what was being said in the moment due to my shock). I instinctually jumped up and when I heard the door hit the stopper I started to bend down to grab a pillow; serious childhood trauma kicked in and it was full fight or flight mode, I felt like I needed to get out of there as a panic attack was imminent. When he saw the pillow in my hand he yelled “What the hell are you doing?!!” as he slammed the door closed staying in front of it.
I instantly started to shake and sob uncontrollably at the same time and mumbled “You are scaring the shit out of me”. I was frozen because on the inside I was a small kid again. This man has NEVER raised his voice, let alone his tone to me. He immediately changed his entire demeanor and walked over to hold me, saying how sorry he was. I can’t remember if I hugged back to be completely honest. I did say that “you made me flash back to my father .. you’ve never yelled at me before .. I don’t understand.”
After calming down he held me in bed while I cried and told him how sorry I am, that it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have opened my mouth, I should have waited until the morning .. over and over again. I don’t know why .. it was instinctual I guess. He finally sighed heavily and said “No, not at all. If I had just told you about it to begin with none of this would have happened”. The remorse was real, but I still cried myself to sleep, waking up with swollen eyelids from all of it.
We talked it over Sunday after some reflection; I get it - he probably just wanted to live it up with his pals without a “handler”. But reasonable me would have liked to have known, God forbid anything happened, or I could have at least checked on them every now and then. I don’t hover and can read a room pretty well, so it just hurt my heart that I wasn’t included in the knowledge of the events whatsoever .. especially because he didn’t tell me himself. I didn’t care about the shrooms, I just wanted to know they were being done, does that make sense?
Our talked concluded - nothing bad happened that night, I said my peace, let’s move on from it. I did reiterate how much I was bothered by the argument, his response and my fear. I could see the sorrow and regret in his face, so we decided to put that away too.
My problem is that I have realized that I am not really over that part as much as I want to be. I have replayed it a few times this past week while alone, resulting in the same feelings surfacing again with some tears. I can’t help it. When I say I have no one to talk to … I have no one. My husband is probably the most amazing man you could meet. I couldn’t imaging divulging this to anyone and having their view of him a-skewed; I know he’d be mortified. And I don’t want to bring it back up, having him relive probably the worse night he can remember, like I am rubbing salt into the wound - even more so because I said let’s move on from it. I don’t want him beating himself up again and again (Though that may very well be the case, I would hate to make it worse).
I am pretty sure his lack of reaction (which pushed my frustration) followed by overreaction was due to guilt, knowing he hurt me, and that what I said was probably true - he just handled it poorly after a couple of days with little to no sleep; not to mention the additional stressors in our lives right now with the move. I could have done things differently as well; he rarely hurts my feelings, so I don’t handle it as well as I would if it was coming from someone else. He’s my kryptonite.
I know this was a one off, however I do have to admit that I am subconsciously anxious whenever he’s gotten irritated with normal everyday annoyances (just life, packing .. logistics .. etc) this past week. Almost like I am gun-shy that he’ll pop off again (even though my rational mind knows he won’t). I just can’t shake the feeling of not recognizing the man that was in front of me, nor the fear I had caused by the one person who has always been my ‘safe space’ and protector.
I feel like I am being ridiculous and irrational. Any advice, or do I just let time take care of it?

2024.06.09 23:05 AldOfi Running a Fate Series game using the Fate Core TTRPG
 | https://preview.redd.it/ht7eemct1m5d1.jpg?width=671&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6eac06af65702be8e1bdebbee32e3844c599b5fc submitted by AldOfi to fatestaynight [link] [comments] Hello, Internet. After watching the ufotable adaptations of Fate, I've grown quite fond of the franchise, and especially the kinds of stories that can be told through Holy Grail Wars. A really big interest of mine are Tabletop RPGs like D&D, which I've been playing for six years, so I tried to find a way to be able to adapt a playable Holy Grail War within a TTRPG. I am unaware how many people here are familiar with these kinds of games, but I still wanted to share some of my progress to see if the community might think I got the whole "vibes" of Fate right. So, first off, I'm using the highly-malleable TTRPG "Fate Core". It is completely unrelated to type moon and anything nasuverse, but I couldn't help myself due to the name of the thing, and because it claimed to be able to be so modifiable that it can run any setting. This is what I wanted to put to the test. What makes it infinitely malleable is its main mechanic: aspects. Adjectives, sentences, catch phrases, and traits that are written into the character and can be called upon for an advantage. There's the High Concept that defines you, a Trouble that can be Compelled to either give you a disadvantage, or to determine your course of action. For this game, I'd allow for players to choose whether they'd want to be a Servant or a Master, so the next Aspect for servants would be their class. A Saber, for example, would have "Powerful Melee warrior. Adept at swordsmanship". Every class has their static Aspects, and they can be Invoked in any given situation to gain a better result than what the dice offer you. For Masters, I felt fitting that their first other aspect should be their wish. It is both a driving force and a source for conflict. The next aspect would be the name of the Noble Phantasm for the Servants, or the signature Magical Discipline( those found on the Type Moon wiki), or ability from the Masters. This serves as an extra aid whenever they want to show off, or to determine some things the players could do based on their proficiency with these. I've mentioned that one can Invoke these Aspects, or be Compelled by them, but that comes at a cost, called Fate Points. Everyone starts a session with 3 minimum, and you pay Fate Points to Invoke aspects to better your situation, or to compel someone else. Should you be compelled by anyone(even yourself), you gain a Fate Point. There is also the option to Pay a Fate Point to reject a compel, or to declare an aspect on the setting. All of these traits apply to aspects, but I found them really useful to apply as a Homebrew rule for Command Spells as well. You can have 3 of them throughout the game, and they work Just like Fate Points, except one's servant can't reject them. Now, to handle the Noble Phantasms, I've split them into 3 steps, each costing one Fate Point: 1- the signature move 2- an upgrade to whatever roll the move uses by using a variant rule I found called "Strange Fate"(which reminds me of Strange Fake and I love), where one of the 4 fudge dice is replaced with a d6, allowing rolls to go up to +9 without modifiers. And, finally, 3- to give an aspect to the target, whether it's the destruction of a structure, or something like lingering damage, etc. For Reality marbles, since they change the whole scenario upon activation, It costs two to first use them, and then one can upgrade the rolls using Strange Fate. Fate Core has no stats, but instead relies on a skill piramid that one can easily modify. I've only added a Mana skill to determine how good of a Mage the Masters are, and how much strain on their mana reserves the Servants are. This skill gives the Servants a static bonus (that can be negative) to their noble phantasms, or their spells should they be a caster, but it also allows for us to add Mana Boosts, or Mana Transfers, affecting one roll of their overall skills For spells and extra abilities, I'm allowing players to pick trained disciplines equal to their mana score. Again, I've defined these disciplines based on those that show up on the Type Moon wiki. Here, rules get very loose. Anyone can come up with ways they use their magic as a sort of flavour to their skill rolls, but they can also come up with bigger spells with bigger effects. The simple solution is to have them cost Fate Points or "Stress"( Fate's alternative to HP) to use. This is where Fate's trait of prioritizing the fiction and story over the mechanics really shines. And that's pretty much it! I mean, honestly, there is a lot more, and I will put out there that I've included variants for Rulers, Watchers, Avengers, Pretenders, Pseudo-Servants, Vessels for the Grail and for Masters who aren't mages. However, I wouldn't like to overwhelm y'all with all of it. What one can take away from this is that my Fate TTRPG system basically just works to make a character within the Nasuverse, and what one does with them afterwards is up to the players. I'd be really keen to hear thoughts and opinions, critiques and suggestions, even if you're unfamiliar with TTRPGs in general. I'm sharing it here mostly to see opinions on how well this could be considered to be an adaptation of the Holy Grail Wars into a TTRPG. Thank you for your time, I'm sorry for the text wall, and I honestly hope you find this interesting or like a neat lil thought excercise maybe idk |
2024.06.09 23:02 Redditdiscuss AITA for fighting with my autistic brother over rice?
For context: I’m 13f and my brother who I’ll call Andy is 15M. My brother has autism, he’s not very deep in the spectrum and can somewhat manage himself but most of the time I’m the one who takes care of him. Our mom is a single mother who works as an online tutor. Her “setup” is in the living room and during her classes which can last a few hours, Andy goes into my room. That’s because his room is smaller and not soundproof so he’ll disturb my mom when she’s teaching. I don’t mind him being in my room, he mostly just plays his iPad.
What happened was: I had just woken up and my mom’s class was about to begin. And had made a big bowl of porridge for Andy and told me that she didn’t have anything planned for me and I could just order food online. When I was ordering, I ran into some problems with it like the food was out of stock and the app randomly froze twice and when the food arrived the order was wrong. The whole thing made me really annoyed and irritated so I was kinda in a bad mood. The food we got was two boxes of rice with some meat on top and some toast. I grab the toast and one of the rice boxes, and I planned to leave the other one for my mom. I went back in my room and start eating the toast when Andy grabs the rice and tries to eat. I take it back and tell him that it’s mine. Andy says “then what about my lunch?” I tell him that we’ll get lunch for him later and he can’t be hungry so quick as he just ate a bowl of porridge. Andy starts screaming and he hits me in the head. I start crying and I yell at him that if he wants the rice so bad, he can have it. My mom comes in and asks why he’s screaming and why I’m crying. After I tell her, she tries to calm my brother down and goes back out to continue her class. When she goes out, I continue crying and then Andy starts screaming again and he rips up an art project I was working on. My mom comes in again and tells us she’s canceled the class and takes out to the living room. After calming down my brother, she sits me down and tells me that she’s not saying Andy was right for hitting me but I could have handled the situation better and the whole thing was my fault. That during her class time, no matter how annoying Andy was I had to suck it up. And I should have given him the rice and eaten the other one outside. And even if there wasn’t one more outside, all I had to do was wait half and hour til after her class ended and gotten more food.
AITA?

2024.06.09 23:01 sisterwilderness Difficulty recovering from confusing/bad therapy (long read)
A long read, may have posted bits of this already months back but still struggling. I really appreciate anyone who has the time to read and comment.
Last year I was seeing a “trauma informed integrative creative arts therapist” at $225 a week out of pocket. I was only able to swing it because my insurance offers 80% reimbursement for out of network benefits, and I was in dire straights and needed specialized help. I chose her because her Psychology Today profile, website and public social media made her seem more sophisticated and knowledgeable than the vast majority of therapists in my area by a long shot. I was already using art as a means of therapeutic self expression so I was excited to try her integrative art therapy approach. Through her professional (?) social media I was able to see that we both liked the same kinds of plants, music, similar political leanings, interest in ecology and environmentalism, and fashion. She’s very beautiful, well read, well spoken and charismatic. Prior to seeing her I had a string of therapists that were utterly useless and couldn’t help me, and I felt like I’d finally found the one. She said some things during our first session that stood out to me. “I’m not here to pass judgement.” Good! But then, “Well, I mean, everyone passes judgment, we’re all human.” I wasn’t sure what to make of that but I just overlooked it. Then she said, unprompted “people just come up to me and tell me about their lives” with a very self congratulatory tone. My immediate thought was that this woman must have some kind of magic touch. Surely she’d help me.
And she did! Somehow during that time I felt significantly better, which baffles me because she also hurt me badly. I spent the next 18 months on a rollercoaster ride with her. She contradicted herself often. She self disclosed needlessly, and seemed to be imposing her worldview. We misunderstood each other to a degree I’ve never experienced with anyone else in my entire life, but I figured I must just be stupid or crazy. She made unprompted statements like “I’m reeeeally good at what I do”, “I’ve had many clients who are extremely wealthy”, and when she heard what my salary is she audibly gasped and said “I pay my babysitters more than that! Oh my god!”. She was exceptionally ignorant on matters of economic class, though she would say otherwise. It was very clear to me through her unprompted self disclosures that she is wealthy, traveled the world several times over since childhood, and only had a very superficial awareness of how the other half lives. All of her statements regarding money made me feel smaller than an ant. I told her that I hope to own a home one day because my partner has the privilege of getting an inheritance someday. When I said a number she flat out said “that’s not feasible.” It actually is, she just couldn’t imagine it. When I spoke of my desire to be a mom all she did was talk about how expensive kids are because they need camp and a good pre school etc. I described to her that I grew up lower class and lack of camp is not what fucked me up (lol) and that lots of kids are still happy and healthy even without rich parents. She got really weird after that, like she didn’t know how to respond. She also said “we started ours at 2 because we value early education” as though people who can’t afford to send their kids to fancy private preschools don’t value early education just as much. It’s just inaccessible to them. I forget the context but she once said about me and my husband “I know you guys are like socialists or whatever, but…” while rolling her eyes, but I’d never once mentioned my political affiliation. During one session, she went on this weird monologue about how “scientists are proving that reality isn’t real” and “reality is different for everyone” when I tried talking about the gaslighting I experienced as a child. It was so bizarre. I asked her if she thought I had BPD and she said no because if I did I’d be using a lot more black and red colors in my art….!!??!??! She had me read The Untethered Soul, which was okay but to truly implement its teachings one would have to have basic financial stability. She acknowledged this but used the example of “a mom with five kids in the Bronx” as the kind of person who wouldn’t get much out of the books contents. I felt like saying “or young people who live right here in our town like me and most of my friends, actually.” I am sure I was her poorest client, just lucky enough to have a government job that provided insurance with OON benefits. Still, the reimbursements came in very slow, and I regularly gave her my very last dime until the next pay day. I relied on her to email me receipts to submit to my insurance company which I needed to remind her to do literally every time.
Now here’s where it gets real bad. I was having issues with my husband so she had us sign waivers so she could talk to his therapist. She told me she wouldn’t be able to tell me the contents of their discussions, which makes perfect sense. Except she did. A lot. And it turned out she exaggerated and possibly outright lied. The advice she gave me always lead to further conflict with my husband. I was confused because what she said his therapist said didn’t match up with what HE said his therapist was saying to him. It got to a point where I was put in a position to have to lie to my husband: either I tell him what his therapist allegedly said about him to my therapist, destroying his trust in him, or I lie. I wasn’t willing to do either of those things.
I decided I’d had enough, so I wrote her an email that was very direct but not unkind in any way. I needed to make her aware that the dynamic she created with my husband and his therapist was harmful, that her remarks about money alienated me, and that I had reminded her a total of three times to send me a receipt for reimbursement and that I should not be responsible for having to remind her again. We had our session the following day, and it left me in tears and feeling crazy. She denied that she broke confidentiality (I have it in a text message so nice try), said “who are you to school me on economics” with a really mean tone, and basically berated me for an hour while I sat there crying. It was INSANE. I never went back. I never reported her.
Since then I haven’t been able to shake it despite working with a wonderful new therapist. I am stuck on how strangely charismatic she was, that I never regretted giving her my last dime even though she made me feel bad, and somehow she also made me feel sort of high? I thought she was so cool, and she seemed to think I was cool. I am sure there was countetransference to a degree. In hindsight there were a lot more red flags. She would talk about “clean eating” and remark that American food is poisoned and gluten is bad etc. all unprompted and out of her scope of practice. She used a lot of new age lingo despite me telling her that didn’t resonate. Made a lot of comments about her own opinions and worldview on various topics. Her social media is very much all her, photos and videos of her, it just seems like she wants to be somebody’s guru. Her history doesn’t line up either - she claims she has 21 years experience as a therapist but told me she’d left the field for a while and worked in fashion for a time, but she’s not old enough for that to add up unless she literally only took a few months hiatus which I guess is possible.
The weird thing is, I spent months thinking she was the best person. I did feel better in terms of my self confidence when it came to expressing myself… but in hindsight it wasn’t her, it was me. I did all that work. Maybe it was the art. But why did I give her so much of what little money I had for so long? Why did I stay on that roller coaster? Put up with her contradictions and unethical behavior? I literally feel like I left a tiny cult.
The contrast between her and my current therapist is wildly stark. My current therapist is refreshingly boring and I know next to nothing about her. She has no public social media presence. She never makes me feel judged or bad about myself, ever. Shes also out of network but SHE submits the receipts to my insurance company FOR ME and waits for them to pay her the full amount…. And I just give her my copay. I didn’t even know an out of network provider could do that. Now therapy is truly accessible to me.
I still don’t know what to make of what happened. Unfortunately I have to see my ex-therapist as she is a frequent patron where I work, and I found out she has a new office literally a block from my home. It’s in a little cottage on the grounds of the Unitarian church I used to belong to and was thinking of going back… welp, not anymore. Ugh.
She fucked with my mind and I am still messed up from it. Her public persona is somehow troubling to me, like it’s fake and she’s trying to reel people in. Something about her “coolness” and palpable overconfidence is very off-putting. Cult leader-like. I’m embarrassed to keep bringing it up to my current therapist because I have so many other BIG issues to work on, and I feel like I should have let this go.

Last year I was seeing a “trauma informed integrative creative arts therapist” at $225 a week out of pocket. I was only able to swing it because my insurance offers 80% reimbursement for out of network benefits, and I was in dire straights and needed specialized help. I chose her because her Psychology Today profile, website and public social media made her seem more sophisticated and knowledgeable than the vast majority of therapists in my area by a long shot. I was already using art as a means of therapeutic self expression so I was excited to try her integrative art therapy approach. Through her professional (?) social media I was able to see that we both liked the same kinds of plants, music, similar political leanings, interest in ecology and environmentalism, and fashion. She’s very beautiful, well read, well spoken and charismatic. Prior to seeing her I had a string of therapists that were utterly useless and couldn’t help me, and I felt like I’d finally found the one. She said some things during our first session that stood out to me. “I’m not here to pass judgement.” Good! But then, “Well, I mean, everyone passes judgment, we’re all human.” I wasn’t sure what to make of that but I just overlooked it. Then she said, unprompted “people just come up to me and tell me about their lives” with a very self congratulatory tone. My immediate thought was that this woman must have some kind of magic touch. Surely she’d help me.
And she did! Somehow during that time I felt significantly better, which baffles me because she also hurt me badly. I spent the next 18 months on a rollercoaster ride with her. She contradicted herself often. She self disclosed needlessly, and seemed to be imposing her worldview. We misunderstood each other to a degree I’ve never experienced with anyone else in my entire life, but I figured I must just be stupid or crazy. She made unprompted statements like “I’m reeeeally good at what I do”, “I’ve had many clients who are extremely wealthy”, and when she heard what my salary is she audibly gasped and said “I pay my babysitters more than that! Oh my god!”. She was exceptionally ignorant on matters of economic class, though she would say otherwise. It was very clear to me through her unprompted self disclosures that she is wealthy, traveled the world several times over since childhood, and only had a very superficial awareness of how the other half lives. All of her statements regarding money made me feel smaller than an ant. I told her that I hope to own a home one day because my partner has the privilege of getting an inheritance someday. When I said a number she flat out said “that’s not feasible.” It actually is, she just couldn’t imagine it. When I spoke of my desire to be a mom all she did was talk about how expensive kids are because they need camp and a good pre school etc. I described to her that I grew up lower class and lack of camp is not what fucked me up (lol) and that lots of kids are still happy and healthy even without rich parents. She got really weird after that, like she didn’t know how to respond. She also said “we started ours at 2 because we value early education” as though people who can’t afford to send their kids to fancy private preschools don’t value early education just as much. It’s just inaccessible to them. I forget the context but she once said about me and my husband “I know you guys are like socialists or whatever, but…” while rolling her eyes, but I’d never once mentioned my political affiliation. During one session, she went on this weird monologue about how “scientists are proving that reality isn’t real” and “reality is different for everyone” when I tried talking about the gaslighting I experienced as a child.

2024.06.09 23:00 Regular_Durian_1750 I wore a sports bra in public for the first time in my life and I feel exhilarated 😂
I'm a large girl. I mean obese, technically but I carry it well. Most people wouldn't call me obese, just fat is what I'm saying. But I am. Way beyond the BMI 30 threshold. I've been bigger since I was 18 and went from weighing 109lbs to 150lbs in about 9 months. I wasn't pregnant, btw. Just had a lot of shit happen to me in the year prior that messed me up and I stopped going out, stopped going to school, stopped loving life and myself. I was severely depressed, self harming and binge eating while getting no exercise. All the wrong things.
I have hated my body and how I look since age 18. Today, I wore a sports bra in public. I felt self conscious, apologetic, even felt guilty because I felt like I was putting my big boobs on display or showing off my goods. I went to the gym, and the shirt I was wearing was new and it was bothering me so much. I seriously just thought I didn't want to put up with an hour of exercise in discomfort because exercise is already uncomfortable for me. 😂
Then I ended up using the shirt as a towel so it got super wet and dirty, so I couldn't even wear it on my way home. And I took the bus home, which means I went on the bus with my sports bra. Although, it is raining and super windy, and a bit cold so I did wear a jacket on top but I can't zip it up. I swear I wasn't intentionally flashing people with my flesh. I was super self conscious still, trying to put my hands in front of myself to cover up.
But at the same time, I'm super proud of myself. I don't know what's came over me. Working out in a sports bra was so much better. Usually I wear baggy shirts and they get soaked and become uncomfortable. I have to constantly worry about the sweat stain, but also keep adjusting things so my belly doesn't hang out or boobs don't fall out. Sports bra underneath a shirt is extra protection but also can get very uncomfortable because of how thick it is especially if you're a bigger woman.
Anyway. I've been missing out and for what! No body cares... And I also look a lot better in the sports bra than in my baggy shirts. I can can also see my movements if I want to. I also feel badass for some reason. It's super powerful to not give a shit about what others think. And this was that. At that point, my comfort was more important than people thinking "oh ew cover your fat love handles and rolls of stomach". Literally nobody was looking lol. Those thoughts were in my head.
On the bus? Nobody looked either. Because people don't wanna be disrespectful. Everyone is too busy looking at their phone anyways. Lol Next step is gonna be going to the beach and wearing a bikini. Last time I did that, it was 2009 and I was 15 years old.

2024.06.09 22:59 SilverButton1975 TI13 Hopes and Dreams
What’s everyone looking forward to most about the upcoming TI? For me:
The theme + the AR / graphics: last year’s church theme was super cool. Excited to see what they go for this year and how they step it up.
EU DOTA: While I personally loved having TI back in Seattle, it felt like fan engagement wasn’t as big as the previous couple of years because of the NA time zone. Excited to see more Europe, Russia, China action.
Music: The last couple of years have had amazing music. Last years with all the dota sounds used in the music was really well done. It was great to have the classic dota orchestra music too in the opening. Excited to see what new music they make this year and how it fits in with the new theme. Hoping also that they finally release some of the new music in the TI battle pass.
Playoffs + Finals: I felt like the way last year worked with the playoffs being its own thing was really great. Made the finals seem even more impressive. I hope they keep that format.
Recap videos: last years were the best. Nice to see people at valve who obviously know the game so well putting in the time on making these. Since the time zone will be EU this year I think having these recaps will be even more important for us in the USA who can’t watch all the games overnight.
Hoping for: A return to the great skits and TI videos from past years. Covid seemed to reduce these a lot and I’m hoping they can bring them back now. Some of my favourites from past years were the Slacks tourism videos from Japan and China, Dendi touring Vancouver, the team skits when each team did one. I feel like we got to know all the personalities of the teams better and I looked forward to those videos almost as much as the games.
True Sight!! Has always been my favourite part of TI and I was sad when they had to stop because of Covid. Now that things are back to normal I’m hoping they can do True Sight again. Seeing the personalities and strategy of the players is what makes DOTA still relevant even though it’s an old game now. And the animations are so dope.
It’s a big list I know but TI is what brings me back to the game every year. I love the spectacle!
What are your hopes and dreams for this year?

2024.06.09 22:59 elrangarino Pregnant, DCP and HCBM
HCBM doesn't know we are pregnant yet.
She spent last year coaching SS (who has an intellectual disability) to say I hurt him. I don't - however because of his disability he is unable to rectify "this bruise isn't from SM, I fell over etc" we actually have a decent relationship, though it's a lot of work. DCP got involved last year and they did not like my SO. They seemed biased and they hung up on him a few times, they told us that even though HCBM has a history of abuse, bad decisions and mental illness that it's gotta be tough being a mum to a high needs kid and that she's trying. We got a letter saying they had probable cause to believe SS was being abused. No action taken, we resume custody.
Fast forward to this year, HCBM is starting to communicate better. We let her know he has behaviours at our house, we seemingly are at least somehow looking in the same direction for once. Then he has a meltdown at our house, doesn't want to go to sleep. My SO put his tv on in his room (so he can regulate in his safe space) but he's still obviously furious, I can hear him yelling from our bedroom when SO comes back. He eventually falls asleep though.
Next morning he comes out his room with bruises on his face, to which he says he hurt himself on the wall. I've seen him be self injurious before, we let hcbm know. Upon HCBM picking him up from our house, he very proudly tells her that I made the bruises, and looked horrified when he realised his dad heard.
Because of this we got a call from DCP, not allowed to see sk until investigation is finished. She said it'd be a month, it's been two of no word at all. I have since found out I'm pregnant, we were trying so very exciting.
But now my huge concern is that because of HCBMs coaching, or because SK has figured out if he says XYZ he doesn't have to go to dad's house etc
I've had no reprimands for my own child, DCP hasn't even mentioned that they want to talk to mine luckily, though it'd make sense because he's neuro typical and wouldn't have issues verbalising (whereas my stepkid is considered pre verbal/non conversational) so part of me thinks it must not be that serious because they don't care to investigate my kid/visit our home.
I've raised my voice, I don't hit. I respect boundaries and I'm the kind of SM that gets a big hug and "LOVE YOU!!!" At school drop offs. I'm not perfect, I get burned out, I love my own space. But I'm fkn terrified I'll give birth and people with suits will come take my baby.
I'll add that my own kid has never had a report, is doing very well at school/attendance etc. my own bd is willing to give a statement on my parenting despite us not being close.
I'm about 13 weeks along, so hopefully it'll all be rectified by then but has anyone been through similar? Or any encouraging words? In all fairness I can no longer solely blame HCBM for coaching because I think he's figured out how to manipulate what house he stays at, obviously not realising the devastating fall out.
Not in America.

2024.06.09 22:57 SVG-OMG I got shot in the eye with high pressure HIV + blood
Tl;dr: The title pretty much sums it up. An unfortunate series of events, the PEP is making me very sick, poor leadership and now I’m resigning.
I’m an RN circulator in the cath lab. About 45 minutes into an open procedure, the doctor’s eye glasses fell off of his very sweaty face and into the sterile field (we were putting in a pacemaker) The doctor freaked out, yelled at and rushed us to scramble for supplies to make the situation right. He made us feel as if it was our fault because the room was too hot. We had turned it down to 60°. We also had a traveler training a traveler (the monitor person) and the scrub tech was training a brand newbie to the cath lab on her 2nd day.
As I was dropping new towels to the field I got hit in the eyes with the blood as my scrubber was flushing the used sheath with saline. This came out at very high pressure and it had copious amounts of blood in it. The scrub tech got it in his eyes too. He was wearing goggles I was not. It was a dumb move on his part but he’s in the same boat as me, it wasn’t malicious and I don’t blame him.
I went and rinsed my eyes in the eyewash station for 5 minutes at the direction of my ANM. My ANM was great and helped me through the whole process of calling the BBP hotline, etc. However, we are shortstaffed, so I was expected to go back into the room and finish circulating the case (and several others before they finally had to send me home because I had to hunt down the post exposure prophylaxis “PEP” medicines at some obscure pharmacy.)
I didn’t find out until after that the patient was HIV+, as it was not disclosed in the H&P, or the one previous, but 3 H&P’s ago! This was an outpatient and those H&P’s were from his previous hospital stay. Outpatients are coming from the cardiology office and 1 H&P is all we have to go on!
I could tell the doctor felt bad when I returned, but nervous because he knew he dropped the ball. The doctor told me that the patient stated (while under sedation during the case, mind you) that they do not have a detectable viral load. After the case, the doctor gave me a big hug and told me his own sob story about how he got cut by a scalpel when he had a hepatitis C positive patient (but he “didn’t worry about PEP for myself”) but then proceeded to make sure that I take the PEP, told me it might make my stomach “a little upset, but it may be a good idea to just take a PPI.”
My boss (manager not my ANM) made me cry in our storeroom when I told him that we were rushed and spread thin and bad mistakes like this happen under these conditions. He argued with me and reprimanded me for not wearing “proper PPE” …all of this in front of the poor blood-borne pathogens nurse who was just there to draw my blood (yeah, in a storeroom…I couldn’t be too far because I needed to get back into my cases!). She even apologized on his behalf when he left.
Now here I am, after having taken 3 days of post exposure prophylaxis, and I’m incredibly sick. Nauseous, vomiting food that I ate 12+ hours prior, fatigued and having constant splitting headache. I’m a chronically ill person to begin with, with a millions symptoms with what looks like Lupus on multiple different autoimmune reflex tests. My BP has been so low before this that my cardiologist has been ordering IV fluids on my lunch brakes and started me on midodrine. I have 3 little kids and I’m 8 months away from taking my FNP boards. To say I was struggling even BEFORE this shitshow was an understatement and now I just can’t handle it…
I’ve put in my resignation for 5 weeks from now, but I’m feeling too sick to work now on these awful medicines. And I have to take them for 28 days! I’m so lost, scared and never EVER thought nursing would be like this.

I’m an RN circulator in the cath lab. About 45 minutes into an open procedure, the doctor’s eye glasses fell off of his very sweaty face and into the sterile field (we were putting in a pacemaker) The doctor freaked out, yelled at and rushed us to scramble for supplies to make the situation right. He made us feel as if it was our fault because the room was too hot. We had turned it down to 60°. We also had a traveler training a traveler (the monitor person) and the scrub tech was training a brand newbie to the cath lab on her 2nd day.
As I was dropping new towels to the field I got hit in the eyes with the blood as my scrubber was flushing the used sheath with saline. This came out at very high pressure and it had copious amounts of blood in it. The scrub tech got it in his eyes too. He was wearing goggles I was not. It was a dumb move on his part but he’s in the same boat as me, it wasn’t malicious and I don’t blame him.
I went and rinsed my eyes in the eyewash station for 5 minutes at the direction of my ANM. My ANM was great and helped me through the whole process of calling the BBP hotline, etc. However, we are shortstaffed, so I was expected to go back into the room and finish circulating the case (and several others before they finally had to send me home because I had to hunt down the post exposure prophylaxis “PEP” medicines at some obscure pharmacy.)
I didn’t find out until after that the patient was HIV+, as it was not disclosed in the H&P, or the one previous, but 3 H&P’s ago! This was an outpatient and those H&P’s were from his previous hospital stay. Outpatients are coming from the cardiology office and 1 H&P is all we have to go on!
I could tell the doctor felt bad when I returned, but nervous because he knew he dropped the ball. The doctor told me that the patient stated (while under sedation during the case, mind you) that they do not have a detectable viral load. After the case, the doctor gave me a big hug and told me his own sob story about how he got cut by a scalpel when he had a hepatitis C positive patient (but he “didn’t worry about PEP for myself”) but then proceeded to make sure that I take the PEP, told me it might make my stomach “a little upset, but it may be a good idea to just take a PPI.”

2024.06.09 22:57 Redditdiscuss Aitb for fighting with my autistic brother over rice?
For context: I’m 13f and my brother who I’ll call Andy is 15M. My brother has autism, he’s not very deep in the spectrum and can somewhat manage himself but most of the time I’m the one who takes care of him. Our mom is a single mother who works as an online tutor. Her “setup” is in the living room and during her classes which can last a few hours, Andy goes into my room. That’s because his room is smaller and not soundproof so he’ll disturb my mom when she’s teaching. I don’t mind him being in my room, he mostly just plays his iPad.
What happened was: I had just woken up and my mom’s class was about to begin. And had made a big bowl of porridge for Andy and told me that she didn’t have anything planned for me and I could just order food online. When I was ordering, I ran into some problems with it like the food was out of stock and the app randomly froze twice and when the food arrived the order was wrong. The whole thing made me really annoyed and irritated so I was kinda in a bad mood. The food we got was two boxes of rice with some meat on top and some toast. I grab the toast and one of the rice boxes, and I planned to leave the other one for my mom. I went back in my room and start eating the toast when Andy grabs the rice and tries to eat. I take it back and tell him that it’s mine. Andy says “then what about my lunch?” I tell him that we’ll get lunch for him later and he can’t be hungry so quick as he just ate a bowl of porridge. Andy starts screaming and he hits me in the head. I start crying and I yell at him that if he wants the rice so bad, he can have it. My mom comes in and asks why he’s screaming and why I’m crying. After I tell her, she tries to calm my brother down and goes back out to continue her class. When she goes out, I continue crying and then Andy starts screaming again and he rips up an art project I was working on. My mom comes in again and tells us she’s canceled the class and takes out to the living room. After calming down my brother, she sits me down and tells me that she’s not saying Andy was right for hitting me but I could have handled the situation better and the whole thing was my fault. That during her class time, no matter how annoying Andy was I had to suck it up. And I should have given him the rice and eaten the other one outside. And even if there wasn’t one more outside, all I had to do was wait half and hour til after her class ended and gotten more food.
