Training
I think I posted a race report with the same HM goals about a year ago. Well - since then I sustained a pretty severe stress tibial stress fracture (July probably but then I ran on it for a month because what is pain but a minor inconvenience?), spent 3 months on crutches (mid August-mid November), started PT (December), completed a return-to-run program (February), and then slowly ramped up mileage while battling complications with just about every other part of my left leg (which had decided to retire while I was on crutches).Because of my schedule, I ran 5 easy miles before work on Thursdays and Saturdays, long run (got up to 11 miles) on Mondays, and another 5 miles on Tuesdays which started out as more easy miles but turned into some low key speed workouts towards the end. My peak week was 27+ miles and I didn't really taper - ran 8 last Monday, 5 on Tuesday, and a quick 5k shake out on Thursday. I also did 30-45m of mobility/PT every day, an hour of strength training daily, and rode the exercise bike on the days I didn't run.
Getting to the start line was really the A goal; I didn't have any illusions of grandeur (or PRs). My PT thought it was unlikely I could run sub 2:00 which I thought was a little out of touch given the paces I ran during my long runs, but I was also battling big mental challenges around trusting my left leg so I was trying to keep pace goals out of it.
Pre-race
Got up at 5, did some mobility, and then had breakfast (bagel/pb + coffee). Did a little rolling then headed out. I had some LMNT on the drive over. This was not a big event (like 150 starters in the HM) and only 20min from my house, so very low stress. The weather was absolutely beautiful with a light breeze and low humidity. I had plenty of time to check in, walk around, do some dynamic warmup, change shoes, etc. I had half a bag of Skratchers gummies about 30min before the start and a piece of MEG caffeine gum about 10-15min before the start. I carried a handheld water bottle and my own fuel even though there were aid stations.Race
90% of this race was on a paved canal trail that I run all the time, so I was already familiar with most of the course (part of the reason I chose this race).Mile 1-4 - I was relatively near the front to start (not that hard, not that many people), but the race started across some not manicured grass and rocks which is super fun in road shoes (adidas pro 3 - decidedly not off-roading shoes lol) and then went to a narrow paved trail that was about 2 people wide. We popped out onto the main canal trail after about .25mi(ish) and went right up a small steep hill and then it was just pretty flat. I had already decided to not look at my watch for the duration so I just settled in and cruised along. The turnaround was around 3.5 and I took a couple SaltStick chews around Mile 4.
Mile 5-8 - I had my first gel (Maurten 100) at Mile 5. Around 6 we crossed paths with the turnaround for the 5k that started 30min after us. There was a little congestion until we passed the point where they turned back into the park but not too bad. At Mile 8 I checked in with myself and felt really good - everything felt smooth and no pain.
Mile 9-10 - This was the toughest part for me because it took me down the canal trail further than I've ever run and I had no idea where the turnaround was (still hadn't looked at my watch and there weren't markers at every mile). We did eventually turn around at about 9.5 and I had another gel at 10 (Maurten 100 Caffeine).
Mile 11-12 - Starting to feel ready to be done; getting a little hot and feeling a little slow but nowhere near hitting a wall. I was running all alone and definitely lacking the motivation to push too much without company.
Mile 13 - I came down the last little decline and suddenly had someone running next to me. When she didn't fly by me I realized I could keep pace with her if I pushed just a little. It felt easy - smooth and sustainable for at least a little while. We ran side by side until we re-entered the park on the narrow trail, at which point I'd actually had enough and chose to maintain while she kept pushing faster. Once we got over the uneven grass and rocks and onto the flat grass, I had enough left to kick on to the end - and got my first look at my time.
I crossed the finish line and grabbed my medal, then glanced at my watch and saw that it was reading a little short (not surprising since it had buzzed late for every mile marker I passed) - so I weaved through some people and kept running down the access road until I was at 13.2 (overkill, but whatever).
Post-race
Walked back to my truck, had a banana and some water, checked the live results online and saw that I was 3rd in my age group so changed shoes and walked back to the start to pick up my award glass. Walked back to the truck, had a BCAA/electrolyte drink, did a little stretching, and then drove home where I had a nice epsom salt soak.The plan is to take a down week (no running/exercise bike only, switch up the strength routine to something different for a few days), and then jump back in to get ready for a HM in mid-September. My goal is to add a 5th day of running, get more dialed in on workouts, and build to 35-40mpw (basically where I was at when I got hurt).

2024.06.09 13:06 lemonsaltwater Colin + Pen = Swans: A Deep Dive
 | A joint research effort of u/sc127 and u/lemonsaltwater submitted by lemonsaltwater to PolinBridgerton [link] [comments] Throughout Seasons 2 and 3, swans are a recurring theme in Colin and Pen’s story, both in terms of explicit imagery/sound and allusions to swan behavior and stories. There are so many allusions that it is clear the showrunners, and Julia Quinn,* want us to make these associations, as every detail is intentional. (\while neither of us have read the books, but based on character names, as well as references to the books on this sub, we can assume this. If you've read the books, please comment with more swan references! We do not present this as something hidden/new but rather for the fun of finding all of the references.)* The biggest allusion to swans is how swans mate for life and form into bonding pairs quite young, well before mating age. Trumpeter swans bond as young as 20 months — but then wait several years and don’t mate until at least the age of 4-7. Colin and Pen meet at a young age and form a friendship but it then takes several years for it to become romantic. Let’s plunge our beaks underwater and dive into how these associations play out for Colin and Pen individually and then as a couple. Colin’s character as a swanColin has always been a swan, even if he didn’t lean into it. It shows up in a variety of character traits throughout the seasons.Male swans are fiercely protective of their partners. We see Colin’s protectiveness over Pen show up multiple times. I did a longer post on the evolution of Colin's protectiveness a few weeks ago, but here are some scene highlights:
We'll likely see more of this in Part 2 (and various book spoilers indicate this as well). Male swans are also one of the few species of waterfowl that take an active role in rearing children. Male swans will sit on the eggs and protect them, unlike other waterfowl. In Seasons 1 and 2, Colin is often seen playing with his younger siblings. We see the male swan’s interest in child rearing most obviously in 2x02 when Eloise recoils from Daphne’s baby and Colin swoops in to tenderly and lovingly hold him. https://i.redd.it/vce8xkfeli5d1.gif Swans are known for mating for life and for being dedicated partners, unlike other species of waterfowl. Colin “My Wife” Bridgerton, hello. But even before Season 3, we see this in Season 2 when Colin is the only one in the front row who appears happy at Anthony and Edwina’s wedding, and according to Luke, Colin is actually crying because he loves love so much. He delights in love. https://i.redd.it/xgsjjbu1mi5d1.gif Afterwards, Colin finds himself somewhat depressed and “searching for answers at the bottom of his flask” after their “bungled nuptials.” For someone who sees love as "the one thing in life that holds genuine meaning," to see an engagement broken off at that point is deeply distressing. (We'll return to Anthony's wedding later.) His recurring appearance changes after his extended travels: Swans shed all of their feathers during their annual summer migration period. After his travels between S1 and S2, he returns with facial hair. After his travels between S2 and S3, he returns with new clothing. Penelope: Duck => SwanPenelope, meanwhile, needs to go through a transformation in order to become a swan.(There are a lot of motifs used for Penelope throughout the show: butterflies, cake, etc, but here we’re going to focus on ducks and swans.) Let’s start with her name. To get all Colin-season-2 for a moment, “Penelope” is believed to derive from the Ancient Greek word penelops, which means “duck.” In modern language, “pen” is the official name for a female swan. And her last name is Featherington. Something that starts as a duck and becomes a swan… that sounds a lot like the HC Andersen short story The Ugly Duckling, which is about a duck who is cast aside by society for being ugly, only to later learn that the reason it looked different was because it was actually a swan. While Colin and Pen are more likely to quote Byron than Danish fairy tales, the allusions to The Ugly Duckling are quite strong throughout Penelope’s character arc. (And indeed, fantasy plays a huge role in their worldviews.) This is directly referenced in the book: “I thought you believed in me," she said, "that you saw beyond the ugly duckling.”For a brief refresher on The Ugly Duckling, let’s take Wikipedia’s summary and annotate it: After a mother duck's eggs hatch, one of the ducklings takes longer to hatch and is bigger and perceived by the other animals as an ugly little creature. It suffers much verbal and physical abuse from its mother and siblings, and has an absent father.Penelope is the youngest of three children. From the first episode, it is clear that her mother regards her as less desirable and less beautiful than her sisters. Her father is neglectful and largely absent. She is repeatedly subject to unkind comments and treatment by her mother and sisters. To take just one example, when suitors come over to meet Marina, and her mother closes courting hour, she says “Please feel free to bid farewell to Phillipa or Prudence, or even Penelope.” (Colin is the only one to take her up on this.) Portia also insists that Penelope wear bright yellow dresses even though she herself prefers pink. Yellow is the color of baby ducks. Portia tends towards green, often in iridescent fabrics, which roughly maps to the coloring of several types of adult ducks (even females). (In the Ugly Duckling, the ugly duckling is gray rather than yellow like it’s siblings. However, they’ve taken a bit of artistic license here to reinforce the duck imagery.) It wanders from the barnyard and lives with wild ducks and geese until hunters slaughter the flocks. It finds a home with an old woman, but her cat and hen tease and taunt him mercilessly, and once again he sets off alone.We don’t have a direct literal correlation to the cats and hens, but we can interpret “leaving the barnyard” as Penelope being too early presented in society, and the “cats and hens” being the multitude of catty comments and “clucking hens” (judgmental, gossipy mothers) of society. It’s also interesting how Cousin Jack is presented quite clearly as a hunter in Season 2, and the gun rack on the wall clearly makes Portia uncomfortable. There aren’t direct references to duck hunting, yet that was a common hobby. (We admittedly don’t know anything about rifles and can’t figure out if any of them he displays on the wall are specifically for duck hunting, but would love it if someone knew!) Cousin Jack, of course, nearly destroys their family. The duckling sees a flock of migrating wild swans. It is delighted and excited but cannot join them because he is too young, ugly, and unable to fly. When winter arrives, a farmer finds and carries the freezing duckling home but he is frightened by the farmer's noisy children and flees the house. The duckling spends a miserable winter alone outdoors, mostly hiding in a cave on the lake that partly freezes over.We can read this as being when Pen watches Colin leave for Greece, and when she looks at the happy Bridgerton household. She is also too young and immature to fervently declare her feelings as she states one should. Nicola plays her as immature (the little hop when she speaks, high voice), and she is trapped in her mother’s house. The allusion of the migrating swans is also interesting as one could see all of the Bridgertons as swans who glide gracefully on the surface of society (“pretty Bridgertons”). While not all of the Bridgertons exhibit swan-like behavior, Violet and Edmund do (but more on that below). Note how in 3x02 Penelope says the place she feels the most comfortable is/was the Bridgerton Drawing Room at Sunday tea -- surrounded by the flock of swans. We could be a bit literal with our interpretation here and say that Colin’s protection of Pen with the Ruby scam is equivalent to the farmer’s care, and then is scared off not by children but his own friends. But I think we can look at it more broadly to say that Penelope goes from thinking she will be cared for — as Colin says during their dance in 2x08 — but then feels cast aside. She then spends a miserable summer alone, without Eloise or Colin. We know she was miserable by how she is dressed and carries herself in the beginning of 301: hunched over and back in an old gown with her protective helmet of curls. The duckling, now having fully grown and matured, cannot endure a life of solitude and hardship anymore. It decides to throw himself at a flock of swans, feeling that it is better to be killed by such beautiful birds than to live a life of ugliness.When we first meet her in 3x01, it is clear she has had an awful, lonely summer. She is shown in her old clothing -- notably more pink but still yellow, a sign of the impending transition -- and looking shy and hunched over. https://i.redd.it/b1fn60pwqi5d1.gif But she resolves to fully break free of her family and marry. Her first dress is iridescent emerald green — the color of peacocks, which is likely the most direct motif given she hides behind a peacock in the garden, but it is also the color of adult mallards and several other duck species. She throws herself into the fray at great personal risk rather than having to continue to live with her family of ducks that reject her. However, she is still awkward and unsure of herself. While she walks down the stairs with confidence, once she's on the floor, she's isn't fully carrying herself with confidence, and sort of slides her feet along the floor in a slouchy manner. She then proceeds to bungle her conversation with the lords who approach her. In other words, she still sees herself as an ugly duckling -- or perhaps ugly duck since she's grown. But Colin is able to see beyond that and has the first glimmers of starting to notice her as something different than everyone else. https://i.redd.it/i2dcbfb1qi5d1.gif Part 2 speculation: The Ugly Duckling is shocked when the swans welcome and accept it, only to realize by looking at his reflection in the water that it had been not a duckling but a swan all this time. The flock takes to the air, and it spreads its wings to take flight with the rest of its new family.Penelope is shocked when Colin has feelings for her, and according to the trailer, is welcomed with open arms by Violet and the rest of the swan’s family (except Eloise, who does not exhibit swan-like behaviors herself, but that's a different topic). Given the focus on mirrors so far this season, perhaps this combined mirrougly duckling/swan theme will reappear. Penelope will then integrate herself into the Bridgerton family and identify more with them, rather than her family of birth. She thus gets both self-acceptance, a husband, a loving family, and freedom all at the same time. Given the use of mirrors this season, I expect Colin will literally and figuratively help Penelope see herself in the mirror the way he sees her, in a parallel to what Colin says in S2 E2 about her letters: Your letters were so encouraging. I thought, if Penelope can see me this way, then surely I can too.A brief note on Penelope's clothing We can see hints of this in her clothing. Over Season 3 Part 1, Penelope’s clothing changes from Featherington green to Bridgerton blue. Yet in the kiss scene and Colin’s dream, she’s wearing dresses that are such light blue/green that they almost appear to be white, and she doesn't seem to wear these dresses in other scenes. (The dream one is similar to the market scene, but the sleeve detailing is different -- it's much more feathery. Hmmm.) While white dresses can imply wedding, perhaps another thread to pull here is their swan-like whiteness. The moment when they kiss is the first time it occurs to him to see her romantically, and it is also the first time he sees her in a white dress. That she is in white in his dream reinforces the idea that he sees her a swan. (Yet they aren't fully white — so there is still evolution to happen.) https://i.redd.it/498qr6joqi5d1.gif https://i.redd.it/a02jcjq5ti5d1.gif Colin calling her Pen — "swan" — from the very beginning And lastly, back to her nickname. The first time we ever see Colin talk to Penelope is in S1 E1 after Colin visits the Featherington house during courting hour for Marina, he refers to her as Pen. He refers to her again as Pen when they dance later in that episode. The viewer thus sees her transition from Penelope, a duck, and then becomes Pen, a swan. Colin has thus always seen her as a swan, even if he didn’t realize it. (We have not done a full analysis of the times he calls her Penelope vs the times he calls her Pen, nor of other people using her nickname.) Audio and visual swan motifsSo, Colin is always a swan, and Pen transitions from duck to swan. Several times throughout the seasons, we see direct and indirect nods to swans in terms of imagery, dialogue, and other scene elements when Colin and Pen are together.It’s notable that, as far as we can tell, swans and swan noises largely only show up when Colin and Pen are together. (There is one exception, discussed in the next section.) The most obvious is in 2x05: COLIN: After all, everyone else is finding some purpose to their lives. Anthony is to be married. Benedict has his artistic pursuits. And, well, here I am... feeding the ducks. [Looks at a swan as he says this]https://i.redd.it/53fkdvblui5d1.gif https://i.redd.it/0lqr6dxnui5d1.gif The implication being, of course, is that Colin does not realize he's not looking at a duck but at a swan. His feelings for her aren't romantic yet. But he is really looking at a swan — Pen. And that she, not the ducks, is grateful for his company and conversation. Interestingly, quacking is heard in the background. It’s hard to say whether it’s ducks or swans — perhaps it’s intentionally ambiguous. Singing swans = courting activities? Or a shift in feelings for Colin? But let’s pull that thread a bit, as swans singing comes up several more times. Swan songs have historically had an association with death, yet “their sounds are more distinguishable during courting rituals and not correlated with death.” We could then interpret hearing swan songs as times that are courting-esque, or perhaps moments when Colin’s perspective on Penelope is starting to shift. In 2x06, Penelope has a heated conversation with Eloise about Eloise’s feelings about Theo. Eloise asks her if she’s ever felt the torment of feelings for someone, and Penelope says she could only imagine it. She then looks over at Colin and swans are heard in the background. A few moments later, when Penelope walks over to Colin for the “purpose” conversation, swans are again heard in the background. (Listen very closely as she walks over to him.) In 3x01, when Colin and Penelope talk in the garden after the presentation, swans are heard in the background as Colin looks at her while she looks away. In this scene, Colin is wearing his beautiful embroidered vest, which features a duck near the collar. It also features a parrot. (Shout out to u/EverEarthling for this amazing deep dive on the vest!) Perhaps when Colin bought this vest in Paris, he still viewed Penelope as a duck, and himself as a parrot (i.e. one who parrots the behaviors of what society expects). Given this, we might not see this vest again, as gorgeous as it is. https://preview.redd.it/9r4qb648wi5d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=facbf720d29560adad66b31923c1646ab7fc66c8 While we might think these were coincidences because they happened to be near water, it seems unlikely, as there are a lot of garden/park/outdoor scenes where no swans are seen or heard. In 303, at the end of the Willow scene, swans are heard in the background as Penelope leaves. Swans then re-appear the Hawkins Balloon Fair. There is a giant wicker statue of a swan, decked in lilacs and light pink roses, off to the side of the balloon. (Lilacs being the favorite flower of the Bridgertons and light pink being the Bridgerton color of first love.) While we don’t get an obvious camera angle of this, based on body positions, Penelope would have been looking at this swan statue the entire time while talking to Debling. https://preview.redd.it/x25logl1wi5d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e95b51b6a6cf37cfb0010ea699158f5bfd12b86 Here's Nicola goofing around with said swan statue. https://preview.redd.it/j1n4t28svi5d1.jpg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75bfa6f3a86aa6890d9ee9f8afc296b1762b77e2 In 3x04, the Queen has dancing swans in her wig. And, this is the first time in the season when Colin and Penelope dance together. https://preview.redd.it/kmvtrgniki5d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6caac598ac9992cd65b278059a1da22caa214e23 We also have a small wink in terms of grass. Swans who have not yet begun mating, even if they are paired, will gather in flocks in fields of grass. Paired swans who are too young to mate will move throughout the flock socially yet still be paired — much like the environment of a ball. In 2x03, Colin mentions how he once spent meditating for hours on a single blade of grass, and in 3x03, when trying to impress Debling and looking directly at a swan, Penelope says how she likes grass. (Perhaps we can also interpret this to mean that Eloise is not a swan: she says she’d rather watch grass grow than talk to other debutantes. But, again, that’s for another post on Eloise being different than her siblings.) Interestingly, at these swan social gatherings, “some individuals will have several courtships with other members of the flock, whilst others, tend to stay away from densely populated parts of the herd and do their own thing.” Sounds like Colin and Pen! From the book, there's a mention of a "swan song:" (credit to u/leadwithlovealways) https://preview.redd.it/4rui2ve22j5d1.png?width=3405&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0b63ac184f171f44735d9e58d2e43aff311383f Colin + Pen = SwansLet’s talk for a moment about the behaviors of bonded swan pairs and their mating behaviors, as there are a lot of parallels.One important part of the beginning of the swan courting ritual is that both will drop their wings completely to their sides, and not puff themselves up at all. We can see this literally in terms of Colin and Pen in the carriage (both have their arms down at their sides), but also metaphorically: they are both at their most vulnerable, their least puffed-up, in the entire season. https://preview.redd.it/2jmk55zcxi5d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c3d3ce9c8046d8dacadf0254090ba5b2d6db57b When swans are bonded, they will press their chests together and bend their necks together and rest their foreheads against one another, forming a heart shape. In their first kiss, we see Colin rest his forehead against Penelope’s ever so slightly — somewhat tentatively, almost, and his chest is not pressed to hers. (It is in his dream, though.). We see the forehead-resting and chests pressed together more times in the carriage scene. https://i.redd.it/dqaj33bbyi5d1.gif https://i.redd.it/unk6l20fyi5d1.gif Mating dances First, watch this video of swans doing a mating dance. (Or read, if you prefer.) Note how look away from each other and then back with intense eye contact. They will stare at each other during the up and down motions of the necks and will sometimes raise both heads together at the same time to look at each other with sideways glances as they turn their heads from side to side.Now, let's pivot back to Bridgerton -- and to another couple. In 2x05, Anthony and Kate’s pivotal dance when they can no longer ignore their feelings for one another resembles the courting dance of swans, with their arms interconnected and circling around another. While one could say that’s true of most dancing, this one is particularly striking, and perhaps it's when Anthony drops his rakishness or ability to think about others and starts to accept his committed, swan nature (though it takes him some time). You can also see echoes of the swan mating dance in how they pass one another side-by-side in Simon & Daphne's dance when they're truly in love, though the Kate/Anthony dance is much clearer. The closest we’ve seen to Colin and Pen dance like this is 2x08, yet that dance is much more tentative than Kate and Anthony’s, and only bears a very faint resemblance to the swan mating dance. They make eye contact, but it is not intense or focused. Colin also refers to her as "Penelope", not "Pen," during that dance, and they barely touch. Distance is implied in multiple ways. But back to the topic of this post, one has to wonder whether we’ll see Colin and Pen dance in a way similar to a swan mating dance in Part 2. Swan mating rituals Now we're going to dive a bit deep in terms of parallels between swans and intimacy. Yes, this is completely fucking unhinged on an already unhinged post. I’m sorry if you will never be able to look at swans the same again.
Looking forwardGiven that swans mate for life, we can be guaranteed a happy ending here.As the show goes on, one can predict that swans will represent the two of them in various ways, and that we might expect to see swan motifs in the decoration of their new home. (In the Part 2 trailer, in the wedding scene, the walls are decorated with a swan motif.) https://preview.redd.it/yhtphnem1j5d1.png?width=2436&format=png&auto=webp&s=3dab8825cccd5db6cd6c8f35c1f9f8605a4e68b1 In terms of children, swans keep their children close to them during their early life. We therefore might be able to predict that both Colin and Pen will likely be very attached to their children, and we will be unlikely to see them without their children once their children are in the picture. Even though Colin loves to travel, we could also predict he’ll quickly want to settle down and delight in being at home with their children, just like a swan. Since male swans actively participate in child rearing, we also hope we’ll get to see lots of heart-warmingly adorable scenes of Colin bouncing their babies on his knees and taking care of them in future seasons. Maybe we’ll be lucky and even get a Regency-ified version of baby wearing with Colin wearing their baby wrapped around him with a shawl! Bonus: Press tour Easter eggs!In the Netflix India Bollywood/Bridgerton video, Luke wore a duck sweater. u/sc127's read on this:Black Swan theory regarding Nicola's outfit: Do you think it's alluding to Colin and Pen getting married? In the eyes of the Ton, they would consider the Polin relationship as a Black Swan. It fits the criteria of being a surprise, having a major effect, and can be rationalized in hindsight.https://preview.redd.it/mrxy2a7v1j5d1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c4d919cbd7c18dab681e5516098c540e7d79b12 |
2024.06.09 12:51 Shendem 20 [M4F] Europe/Anywhere Wandering this land,searching for you.
Hey there! Before anything,i know my account is new but i had another account that i lost not long ago so yeah,i swear i am not a robot or a kidney stealer. Maybe a heart one tho? Who knows.
Ahem,so about me!
-I'm a 20,almost 21 year old male from Europe. Mixed,and bilingual. I'm here looking for a very special girl that knows what she wants. Someone to appreciate life with,and enjoy moments together irl and online. I guess you could say i'm a big romantic in this world of looks and such. And talking about looks!
Physically speaking: -I'm neither obese or slim,i do have some extra love but hey,i'm good for warming u during winter! haha. Height wise i'm between 5'11-6'0. CM speaking it's 181/182cms. I have dark hair and brown eyes. You could say i'm like a teddy,since i do have hair but if you like that i'm glad.
So,what do i like,have interest in? -My main interests are:
Gaming: I love anything rpg related. Started playing DS1 a few days ago and finished it yesterday. I want to play BG3 so bad but my pc isn't good,so i gotta save for a better pc. I also play Fortnite so if you wanna duo tell me! My main game franchises are: Fallout,Warcraft,Final Fantasy. And starting to like the Souls one too :))
Manga/Anime: I'm not a big weeb,yet i do love some of them. My main ones are : D-Gray Man,Berserk,Gantz,JJBA,Hellsing and Dorohedoro. One Piece is my childhood tho.
I also love Fantasy in general and i want to be a fantasy author. I do worldbuilding and all of that cool stuff so if you're a fantasy girl it'd be so good!
Music: My main artists/bands are Muse,System of a Down and Queen. I love classical music but mostly rock/nu metal and old pop.
But,what am i looking for in a girl?
-Well i'm not very picky. Just...you know,share stuff from above with me or have similar taste,be yourself and have true intentions. My main aim towards the future relationship-wise would be getting you know,a ring on your hand. And also some little devils,you know? So i hope you want the same. My age range is from 19 to 23 years old,i guess. Ethnicity,beliefs or location don't matter to me,yet it'd be more comfortable if you were from Europe if you don't your timezone messed up,but if you don't care about that thing,go ahead as well! So what else...i don't know,don't want to write the whole bible here. If you feel interested about me and want to see how things go,introduce yourself as detailed as you want in dms,and also add the word "Icarus" so i know you saw all of this.
Anyways,see you in dms maybe? Hope so!

Ahem,so about me!
-I'm a 20,almost 21 year old male from Europe. Mixed,and bilingual. I'm here looking for a very special girl that knows what she wants. Someone to appreciate life with,and enjoy moments together irl and online. I guess you could say i'm a big romantic in this world of looks and such. And talking about looks!
Physically speaking: -I'm neither obese or slim,i do have some extra love but hey,i'm good for warming u during winter! haha. Height wise i'm between 5'11-6'0. CM speaking it's 181/182cms. I have dark hair and brown eyes. You could say i'm like a teddy,since i do have hair but if you like that i'm glad.
So,what do i like,have interest in? -My main interests are:
Gaming: I love anything rpg related. Started playing DS1 a few days ago and finished it yesterday. I want to play BG3 so bad but my pc isn't good,so i gotta save for a better pc. I also play Fortnite so if you wanna duo tell me! My main game franchises are: Fallout,Warcraft,Final Fantasy. And starting to like the Souls one too :))
Manga/Anime: I'm not a big weeb,yet i do love some of them. My main ones are : D-Gray Man,Berserk,Gantz,JJBA,Hellsing and Dorohedoro. One Piece is my childhood tho.
I also love Fantasy in general and i want to be a fantasy author. I do worldbuilding and all of that cool stuff so if you're a fantasy girl it'd be so good!
Music: My main artists/bands are Muse,System of a Down and Queen. I love classical music but mostly rock/nu metal and old pop.
But,what am i looking for in a girl?
-Well i'm not very picky. Just...you know,share stuff from above with me or have similar taste,be yourself and have true intentions. My main aim towards the future relationship-wise would be getting you know,a ring on your hand. And also some little devils,you know? So i hope you want the same. My age range is from 19 to 23 years old,i guess. Ethnicity,beliefs or location don't matter to me,yet it'd be more comfortable if you were from Europe if you don't your timezone messed up,but if you don't care about that thing,go ahead as well! So what else...i don't know,don't want to write the whole bible here. If you feel interested about me and want to see how things go,introduce yourself as detailed as you want in dms,and also add the word "Icarus" so i know you saw all of this.
Anyways,see you in dms maybe? Hope so!
2024.06.09 12:17 Natural_Anxiety5550 Skeletal Dysplasia Scare- Positive Story
I just thought I’d post this for anyone who has been told by a Dr or Midwife during pregnancy that their baby may have skeletal dysplasia, achondraplasia, hypochondraplasia, etc.. I have just been through this and I was desperate to read and learn about other people’s experiences whilst I waited for results.
We had a high risk pregnancy from the 12 week scan, we had an NT measurement of 3.7 which came back on the screening test as greater than 1/2 risk of downs, or 1/27 of Edwards/Pataus. This shook me and we opted for a CVS at around 15 weeks; fully expecting a positive test for one of those conditions. Fortunately, we screen negative for this and the other conditions on the micro array. However this triggered one scare after another, first they thought baby had a heart condition, then cystic fibrosis, then an infectious disease, we were tested for all of this and all came back negative.
We reached around 17 weeks and the scans then started to show signs of IUGFGR, being fetal growth restriction. Our baby was measuring around the 2-3rd centile and we were told we could have to give birth any day. They continued to monitor until 22 weeks where they discharged us to be checked by a local hospital just for growth scans as she was growing well, though small.
First scan at the ‘new’ hospital with a new doctor, the doctor was silent throughout. At the end, she told us our baby’s long bones (humorous, femur) were measuring less than 1%, whilst her abdomen was around 50%, which is apparently a marker for skeletal dysplasia. Her long bones were always short on scans, but the concern was that her abdomen was disproportionate. I was in pieces as some forms of dysplasia can be lethal to the baby.
They offered us to due a WES (whole exome sequencing) where they test the CVS sample again against thousands of genetic conditions, including skeletal dysplasia. The test for this was a three week wait. I was an emotional wreck, feeling baby kick and grow and not knowing if my whole life was about to change. The way the Dr explained this to me made me feel like this was going to be the cause of all the concerns up to this point and that it was inevitable. They kept drilling that my placenta looked okay on the scan and the cord flow looked good, so they suspected SD more than IUGR.
Fast forward to the next scan two weeks later, baby’s abdomen was now 30% and long bones around 3%. The doctor said afterwards she no longer suspected SD and that the scan was really promising, but she couldn’t confirm without the WES results: we have since had these back and the baby shows NO genetic conditions of the thousands tested for.
They’re now saying she may just be constitutionally small or that a placenta/cord issue could develop later. I’m 27 weeks now.
I know I need to be wary of my symptoms and closely monitoring baby; we’re back on the IUGR train, but a long way from the dark places that the thought of losing my baby to lethal skeletal dysplasia took me.
If you’re going through this, baby’s grow at their own pace, they are all different and can change week to week. Measurements can also be wildly inaccurate.
I hope this helps someone.. :)

PART 1
"Elian," Liora said, her voice steady, "you have proven yourself worthy. We may not have won, but we are honored to have fought alongside you."
Finn nodded, a smirk playing on his lips. "Just promise not to forget us when you're out there saving the multiverse."
Elian smiled, feeling the warmth of their camaraderie. "I could never forget any of you. You've all become like family to me."
As the group prepared to leave the celestial hall, a portal opened before them, leading back to their respective realms. One by one, they stepped through, each carrying the memories and lessons of their journey. Elian watched them go, a sense of longing in his heart, but also a steely determination to honor the trust and friendships he had forged.
Using the Temporal Blade, he opened a rift and stepped into the timestream. He found himself in a different realm, a world known as Veridia, where time had come to a standstill. The people were frozen in mid-motion, their lives halted by an unseen force.
At the center of the town stood an ancient clock tower, its hands unmoving. Elian approached it cautiously, his senses alert. He soon discovered the source of the disturbance: a rogue timekeeper named Morvaine, who sought to manipulate time for his own gain.
Elian confronted Morvaine, a battle of wits and wills ensuing. Drawing upon the strength and skills he had honed during Chronos's challenges, Elian managed to outmaneuver Morvaine, restoring the flow of time to Veridia. As the townspeople resumed their lives, unaware of the brief disruption, Elian felt a deep sense of accomplishment.
Althea was a striking figure with flowing silver hair and eyes that shimmered like the cosmos. Her knowledge of temporal magic complemented Elian's newfound abilities, making them a formidable team. Together, they embarked on a mission to stop the Temporal Disruptors from unleashing chaos across multiple dimensions.
Their journey took them to exotic realms and ancient timelines, each fraught with peril. Along the way, they encountered beings of great power, some who offered assistance, and others who sought to hinder their progress. Through it all, Elian's bond with Althea grew stronger, their combined strengths and mutual trust forming an unbreakable alliance.
In the midst of the struggle, Elian's mind flashed back to the lessons he had learned during Chronos's challenges. The courage to face his fears, the acceptance of his flaws, the strength to push beyond his limits, and the unity forged through teamwork—all these experiences now guided his actions.
With Althea by his side, Elian channeled the full power of the Temporal Blade, weaving a complex web of temporal energy. Together, they sealed the rift, restoring balance to the multiverse. The effort left them both exhausted, but victorious.
"The multiverse is vast and filled with countless threats," the head of the council, an ancient entity known as Aeternus, spoke with a voice that resonated through the hall. "We offer you a place among the Guardians, to protect the flow of time and ensure the stability of reality."
Elian accepted the honor, recognizing the immense responsibility it entailed. Althea, too, was offered a position, and together they vowed to uphold the principles of the Guardians.
Throughout his journeys, Elian never forgot the lessons taught by Chronos and the friends he had made during the competition. He carried their memories with him, a source of strength and inspiration.
In moments of reflection, Elian often gazed at the Temporal Blade, its surface shimmering with the essence of time itself. He knew that his journey was far from over, and that new challenges awaited him beyond every horizon.
With a heart full of courage and determination, Elian stepped forward, embracing the infinite possibilities of the multiverse. As the guardian of time, he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that with each step, he was forging a legacy that would echo through eternity.
And so, Elian's journey continued, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope. With the Temporal Blade by his side, he ventured into the vast expanse of time and space, bringing light to the darkest corners of the multiverse and ensuring that the legacy of Chronos would never be forgotten.

Part 2 of The Sword of Chronos
Chapter 10: The Dawn of New Beginnings
Elian stood at the edge of the celestial hall, the Temporal Blade gleaming in his hand. He could feel the immense power coursing through him, a heady mix of responsibility and excitement. Chronos had vanished, leaving behind only the echoes of his final words. The other competitors, though disappointed, surrounded Elian with a newfound respect."Elian," Liora said, her voice steady, "you have proven yourself worthy. We may not have won, but we are honored to have fought alongside you."
Finn nodded, a smirk playing on his lips. "Just promise not to forget us when you're out there saving the multiverse."

Chapter 12: Allies in Time
Word of Elian's deed in Veridia spread quickly across the multiverse, attracting the attention of both allies and adversaries. One such ally was Althea, a time sorceress from the realm of Aeon. She sought Elian's help to thwart a growing threat from the Temporal Disruptors, a group intent on bending the timeline to their will.Althea was a striking figure with flowing silver hair and eyes that shimmered like the cosmos.

FAQ
I live in El SalvadoCanada/Colombia/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.
Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?
Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.
Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?
Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).
Can I donate all my money to you?
No
Can you help me promote my game?
Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.
Your list is full of errors and now I cnat spel amymor!
Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on single malt whisky, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

- - - - -
It had been a few weeks since Altier was brought to the run-down shack that his black-scaled companion likely called home, and he could now comfortably say he was accustomed to the…household’s routine. The kobold typically left at the crack of dawn, returned a little after noon, and occasionally left again to forage until nightfall. When the weather was bad or there wasn’t a particular need for something, they half-heartedly chased their rabbit around for a bit, which usually ended with a bout of quiet petting while everyone got ready for the night. It was always amusing to see the energetic side of what he had come to know as a relatively lazy loaf of an animal. As for the routine of the ferrorabbit in question… Well…it was at least more interesting than expected.
Hoppit would begin his own series of activities as soon as his caretaker left—the first of which being a check of every nook and cranny in the shed. He sniffed at anything that caught his interest, varying from morning to morning, but he gave every object or corner its due attention. Once he was satisfied with that, he would eat some of the ragged plants that made up most of his diet, take a drink from his bowl, then jump onto the tro— table and plop himself down, his ears pivoting towards the door. It was hard to say if the lounging spot had been established before Altier’s arrival, but it was somewhat amusing to pretend that the little rabbit was standing guard over his core—if it wasn’t for one particular part of the morning ritual, that is.
Indeed, the ferrorabbit had a habit of licking the obsidian orb that sat in the middle of the room, which thankfully didn’t seem to perturb the system enough to give Altier a headache. He was confused when it first happened, but it was commonplace enough now that he barely acknowledged it. A part of him liked that he was getting attention as a core, even if it was delivered via a strange grooming method. The closest he got to being acknowledged as something other than ‘the dungeon’ was through an unfortunate misunderstanding that he could never properly rectify. He supposed that was hardly worth thinking about now, though; too much time had passed for there to be anyone left to correct. The little oddity of his mornings would have to suffice.
There wasn’t much to comment on as far as the rest of the day’s happenings. Hoppit would end his loafing by shaking his head and ears in a way that filled the silence with soft clacks, give the core a customary tongue bath, then jump off the table to nose his way out of the shed through a hole that was hidden by the storage cart against the wall. Where the rabbit went was anyone’s guess, but he always returned before anyone noticed he was gone, and often did so while covered in small cuts and scratches. Any blood from the lacerations was quickly licked off before it could be seen by the kobold, and in the event that the scaly caretaker happened to return earlier than expected, Hoppit would scurry over to the bundles of blankets to finish the cleanup in secret.
Today looked to be following the usual pattern. The kobold left bright and early with various gardening tools and a wooden pail, and Hoppit had since set off into the great unknown for one reason or another. Hopefully, he returned less injured than usual. It was frustrating to admit that Altier had begun to grow rather fond of the fluffy creature, and seeing the thing come back hurt was bothersome. Was it off looking for food? There wasn’t a whole lot given to it, so that was a possibility, and it could be getting into fights over whatever it found. That still didn’t explain why the animal was so thin, and Altier didn’t have enough to go off of to think of a potential solution. He wanted to help it in some way, like by summoning a creature to act as an escort, or maybe just by manifesting something edible like he once could. No, he could only stare at the ‘Synchronizing…’ that occupied his menu, wishing he had more information to work with.
He never thought he would miss the bombardment of notifications and their lingering presence that filled the edge of his mental vision; at least with that he could surmise enough to hazard some kind of action. Even knowing why the menu was acting the way it did would be a start. Yet, try as he might, there wasn’t a history for him to reference anymore, and he had nothing to work with. He was confident the last message had asked him to ‘accept’ something, then took his befuddled ponderance as an answer, but he was no closer to an explanation for what it wanted, nor why it prompted him in the first place. He just didn’t have another experience to compare against, since nothing like that had ever happened before. Not that he was ever in much of a position to allow it.
The entire purpose of having Altier inhabit a core was for him to become a dungeon of Decay, which entailed all the skeletons, poisons, acids, and whatever else came to mind when one pictured the concept. ‘Living’ creatures were something he only had the chance to experiment with near the beginning of his new existence, though he never dabbled past the first few insects before transitioning to the mindless undead. Having a thinking, feeling, breathing entity touch his core was a rite reserved only for the adventurers and soldiers that bested his trials, and that was usually a painful experience. Now, he had spent what he could only guess was hours being held by a kobold, followed by having a rabbit bump against him, and neither felt like what he came to expect. Instead, both had led to a completely novel reaction from the system. The strange circumstances put him at a bit of a loss as to what it all meant for him.
Sure, he could dismiss the deluge of errors from his companion’s involvement by pointing to the numerous ‘corrupted’ messages before it, and Hoppit was a part of mostly unexplored territory, but the lack of clarity nagged at the back of his mind constantly. Being exposed to activity after potential decades or centuries of unchanging solitude made him despise the informational dead end. If he couldn’t make sense of the rabbit’s circumstances, then he didn’t have much hope of deciphering the reason for why his system was misbehaving so terribly. He also didn't know much about the one who owned the decrepit holdings he was housed inside.
He still wasn’t sure what drove the kobold to take him from the cave. His suspicion of becoming traded goods fell flat after the first week or so, and he hadn’t noticed any cult-like behaviour, which was promising. Granted, a lack of nefarious behaviour didn’t mean there was a lack of nefarious intent, but he didn’t get the impression his companion held that either. The kobold itself didn’t seem quite settled on an opinion of his core, though it was up for debate if the hesitation was due to knowing what he was or not. They seemed to mull something over before bed each night, yet never reached a satisfactory conclusion, staring at the obsidian orb through weary grey eyes until they eventually forced themselves into sleep.
Whatever the underlying reasoning for his abduction was, he had observed enough to know that the kobold didn’t deserve to live in destitution. As beaten as the shed might be, they cared for it as best they could, and did so without a single groan or grimace of complaint. The floors were cleaned with a tattered rag and fresh water, dust was removed regularly, and any stray mess that Hoppit made was dealt with promptly. They even took the time to wipe off his core, which was possibly where the ferrorabbit got the idea to start licking him. The only time Altier had seen discontent from the kobold was when they didn’t find much during their foraging, and thus couldn’t give any treats to the excited and bouncy herbivore.
He wasn’t aware that a creature’s face could make such a painfully broken expression, and he was quick to decide that he never wanted to see it again.
Vexingly, his metaphorical hands were tied; a dungeon could only influence their Domain, and given the state of his system, not even that option was available to him. All he could do was glare at the rotting wooden beams that held up the roof and remember when such an issue didn’t exist. It would have taken a mere flicker of thought and a paltry sum of mana to mend the struts when he was a proper dungeon. He could even outright reinforce the structure by weaving in other materials, leaving the appearance as it was while making everything stronger than iron. Well, he once could. Working with other affinities was something that came to him after absorbing the coloured motes left behind by adventurers, and the accursed stone that stole his mana had taken that ability as well.
An attempt was made anyway, his will ordering the deteriorated wood to absorb any trace metals from the ground, but it was no use. He couldn’t feel the iron or stones beneath the shed like he would have been able to before, all but confirming his suspicion that his connection to the Earth element had slipped away. Nature was much the same; the only way he knew when Hoppit had returned most days was from the subtle noise and the essence of injury. The other attributes—Air, Flame, Luma, Shadow, and so on—were ones he never experimented with to any real extent, so it was less noticeable when he lost his grasp on them. Perhaps they faded early. Either way, all he had left was a waning cognizance of his own alignment, and that wasn’t of much use to him. If he had any appreciable mana income, then perhaps he could do something, but he wasn’t even sure what the upkeep of his current Domain might be. It was entirely possible that he was running on a deficit, which would offer a reason for why his system had been so—
[Do#$@n Ex@#d$%^&d! CRe@#r H-H-H-HoPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP—]
[Errrrrrr—]
[Sy$%^hroni%^$zing…]
[Creeee-tu— Hoppit ha@$ esttttb-hed terrrrrrr-ity f^#% t$e dun@&$n!]
- - - - -
“Well then,” he mumbled to himself, taking in the strange scene behind the shed. For one, he could actually view a small distance beyond the structure now, and two, there was a rather proud-looking Hoppit sitting on his haunches before a pair of significantly less prideful examples of the species. They looked quite a bit bigger than the lazy loaf Altier had come to know, yet they were more cut up and dejected than his furry friend. That answered where the injuries had been coming from, he supposed. Hoppit was probably running off to bash heads with whatever animal population existed here beforehand, and they had only just reached a consensus on who was in charge. Impressive.
One of Hoppit’s ears turned back towards the shed, his head following suit as he gave a lagomorph’s approximation of a ‘Look what I did!’ smile. Altier blanked out mentally, but didn’t have time to question anything before the new leader of the local rabbits imperiously pointed a paw towards the surrounding forest, which was equally surreal to witness. Most surprising of all, the…subordinates? The other ferrorabbits did as commanded, keeping their forms small as they took off into the foliage. Soft clacks came from Hoppit’s pleased shake of his head, then he too left the area with only a slightly lopsided bounce to his stride.
The man-turned-core could only gape at what he saw. Were animals always so…expressive? Had Hoppit heard him? What in the world was happening? Why had Hoppit’s personal conquest led to Altier’s Domain expanding?
He lamented not having fingers, nor temples to rub with them. His system was a garbled mess of errors and inconsistent messages, his residence was falling apart at the seams, his companion was someone who abducted him from the dungeon, yet never did anything past that, and his first real experience with an animal was turning out to be more confusing than he thought possible.
All of this was after an unknown amount of time spent commanding legions of undead to strengthen the very people who he would later learn had lied to and manipulated him, making him into a nightmarish entity just to bolster the power of their forces. He almost missed the days spent gazing out of a mossy window. At least then he knew what to expect.
Nothing made sense anymore.
= = = = =
The soft sound of roots ripping free from soil suddenly stopped, only to be followed by a dull thud of Ceele’s palm slapping against the ground to catch her fall before she landed on her rear. She righted herself with her tail and tossed the stubborn weed into a pile with the others. No matter how many mornings she did this, they always seemed to replace themselves faster than she could remove the pesky things. A sigh slipped from her muzzle as she set about grabbing the next one embedded in the vegetable garden.
Aches and spreading stiffness flared up, but went ignored as she neared the end of her duties, though she was well aware that they would come back with force once she tried to settle down for the day. The impending soreness was an inevitable byproduct of spending so much time working. Still, she knew that if it wasn’t for the kindly old couple that allowed her to call their shed home, she would still be sleeping beneath the stars while making sure nothing tried to get at her Hoppit. Even if it was just a part of the deal, they were owed this much in return, and she would see it done properly.
The sun bore down on her back as she did her usual tasks, which was a departure from the slightly overcast weather as of late. It looked somewhat promising when she checked in the wee hours of the morning, yet as her gardening duties dragged on, so too did the intensity of such a clear sky. A disappointed glance at the empty wooden bucket on the edge of the field was quickly corrected. She hadn’t thought to refill it at the river after watering the crops, and her parched throat was making its protests known, while also reminding her that there wasn’t much water left at home either. One more thing to take care of when she was done.
A gruff cough brought her attention towards the old kobold resting his back against a tree some distance away, safely shaded from the unforgiving rays beaming down. Her displeasure at having yet more to do was hastily wiped away. She was undecided on what to think of the detached audience, but looking so sour while upholding her side of the agreement wouldn’t reflect well on her. Hopefully, he hadn’t seen it. Not that she could tell if he did; he always had the same expression when he watched her work. The elder kobold’s arms were crossed, a finger tapping absently against his bicep, while his tail sat motionless on the grass, the muddy red colour of his scales standing out amongst the greens and browns. ‘Makis,’ was his name, assuming her memory served.
Makis had taken to observing her every so often, usually propping himself against this or that at a distance, the unwavering scowl being as unnerving as it was belying of his age. Somewhat loose skin sagged a bit around his jowls and neck, yet the rest of his face was still taut from how much time he spent examining red-hot metal, and his arms were marred with countless burns and cuts from his profession. He held an oppressive aura, though the crinkles around his eyes and muzzle suggested he smiled as frequently as he glowered, even if Ceele was yet to see the former. There was only the same judgmental expression aimed at her when he was around. She could only hope that he didn’t take offence to some unintended slight, but she didn’t know him well enough to say what might be considered one.
They hadn’t spoken since she took up residence on the outskirts of his land. His wife was the one to introduce them, but it was quickly established that he had no intention of being a chatty individual. He led Ceele to the shed hidden amongst the trees on the edge of the property, then dismissed her with only a grunt coming from the elderly kobold. She supposed that it was for the best. Her experience in socializing was centred around convincing others to employ her, and there hadn’t been much of an opportunity to expand her horizons while living a life on the road. If that had been the end of their interactions, she would have swiftly written the terseness off, but he appeared every few days, taking up residence beneath the shade as he watched her work, never speaking a single word. At least he didn’t openly protest her presence, yet she figured that would be easier to manage. He wouldn’t be such an enigma then.
There wasn’t a whole lot she knew about him besides his penchant for ‘supervision,’ and anything beyond that was what his wife had volunteered during the rare opportunity they had to chat. She was told that Makis worked the smithy out front, and although he had retired from doing so in an official capacity, she could still regularly hear his hammer as she tended to the garden, so she figured he kept himself busy most days. It made her wonder what was so interesting about a vagrant like herself, but when there was so little else to do, she could see how anything could be made worth the attention. It was just him and his wife living in the once bustling home, after all; the couple’s children had long since grown up and made families of their own.
She noticed his gaze shift elsewhere as she tugged yet another stubborn intruder from the soil, his arms falling from across his chest and the perpetually worn displeasure melting to that of curiosity. He wandered off shortly after, and she had to make an effort not to fall onto her tail as the pressure on her shoulders unexpectedly evaporated. Did something happen?
Ceele shook her head free of the distracting thought. It wasn’t her business if he grew bored with watching her work. As long as no one voiced any complaints, she could only assume that she was doing a satisfactory job. Maybe he finally decided that he didn’t need to be so watchful because she was doing well! That could be it, right?
A glance at the somewhat sloppily maintained garden erased the false confidence from her face, but she was just as quick to focus on finishing up, unwilling to allow darker musings to fester. Thankfully, there didn’t seem to be anything else that needed her intervention. The weeds were all uprooted, the soil was appropriately dampened, and her check for pesky insects or wildlife turned up nothing to worry about. She was free for the rest of the day!
…Or she would be free—as soon as she finished the last of her tasks, anyway.
The black-scaled kobold got up from her crouch unsteadily, shivering and wincing from the pins and needles in her legs. She would have to remember to stretch more often; it was far too easy to forgo that kind of thing just to make the overall work go slightly faster. Her hand reached out to grab the pile of weeds and put them into the bucket as she ran through what needed to be done before she could properly relax. Hoppit’s food needed to be washed, she needed to bathe, and they were running low on water anyway, so she would have to visit the river. Just the thought of dragging herself into the forest again made her muscles protest, but she wouldn’t have the energy to do it later. She forced the smile that had started to fall and took the first of many steps.
- - - - -
The river wasn’t too far away, only taking a few minutes of traipsing through the dense woodlands until she reached her destination. It was an idyllic little spot. The trees thinned out to allow a grassy bank along the water, and there was an appreciably gentle slope from shallows to depths, making for a convenient place to take care of various needs. She had discovered this place during her travels, and it was where a kind older woman found her.
Ceele was washing off at the time, with Hoppit safely taking shelter from the outside underneath the bundled blankets while he waited. The trickle of the stream brushing against rocks covered the sound of footsteps, so she was rather surprised when an aged voice called out to ask if she was okay. Her first reaction was to distance herself and apologize—the why didn’t matter, but she had learned that most people were more lenient of her presence if she seemed apologetic for it, and she usually was. The elderly kobold just laughed at her scrambling, tacking on an assurance that there was no need for modesty. The woman was blind, apparently, which explained how Ceele’s blackened colours hadn’t deterred her.
Strangely enough, there was a comforting sense of ease around the one who introduced herself as Hira. It was a sort of presence that Ceele could only vaguely remember, and it drew her close enough to speak as she finished bathing. The conversation wasn’t anything profound, of course—they hardly delved deeper than surface-level small talk—but Hira lost her smile as she listened to the younger kobold. By the end of it, the old woman posed a series of questions with a dark inflection to her voice, and Ceele struggled to find an answer.
‘Are you tired of looking for something that only slips away? Are you tired of running? Do you really want to be scared and alone?’
If the silence bothered Hira, then it didn’t show. She had simply held out a hand and offered Ceele a way of life that didn’t involve wondering where she would be spending the night, nor entailed cowering in the brush while fearsome predators roamed freely. It would be a simple existence of few fortunes, but it was safe, and it was honest. All she had to do was say yes.
Ceele denied it at first, partially because she knew most people despised Hobbit's species, and partially because she couldn’t shake the offer being too good to be true. Hira was quick to propose a compromise; Ceele could take residence in the gardening shed that had fallen from use, and to satiate the nagging sense of an unfair deal, she would be put in charge of maintaining the garden itself. All Hira wanted was to ‘see’ her favourite space bloom again, since she couldn’t take care of it anymore. The black-scaled kobold stared longingly at where Hoppit was, his little body shivering from the prolonged cold and fear that he would be hurt if he left the blankets hiding him. It was with a heavy guilt that she accepted Hira’s offer, keeping quiet about her true reason for doing so.
That was in the past, however, though she thought about it every time she stopped by and saw the smooth rocks where she and Hira first met. Eventually, she might gather the courage to admit that she was housing a ‘pest’ and beg for forgiveness. Until then, she would just work her hardest to prove it wasn’t a mistake to give her a home. That her endless efforts weren’t meaningless. That Hoppit deserved to be more than a ‘pest.’
That Ceele was more than something she had no control over being.
She cleared her head a bit and started on the reason she came all this way. Her dress was rather easy to wash in the meandering water, and the trees provided a suitable place for it to dry in the sunlight and light breeze. The weeds were fine with a thorough rinse near in the shallows, but taking care of her own hygiene required her to wade farther in, though it only came up to her chest in the middle of the rill. Still, she could scrub off the soil and grime, which was all she really needed. Perhaps some simple soaps would help rid her of the pervasive black that stained her skin and scales, but that was beyond her meagre means for the time being, as well as being mere wishful thinking.
She worked past the dreary mindset that settled in when she allowed it, focusing on how serene the river was. The soft birdsong from the trees helped make for a peaceful experience, and she could feel the somewhat chilled liquid basically pour into the aches and pains throughout her body, washing away the stiffness from spending so long under the unerring sun. It was nice to escape reality and let thoughts drift while held buoyant by calmer waters.
Yet the bliss was short-lived. Even if winter was gone, spring was still far from warming the waters enough for her to laze about for too long. She dragged herself from the soft current and fetched her dress from the low-lying branch she left it to dry on. It was still a touch damp, but it wasn’t anything a bit of time in front of the fireplace wouldn’t fix.
Ceele was only a short distance away from home when she heard a gravelly male voice, but it was the flicker of sight between the trees that made her drop what was in her arms and lunge into a sprint.
Makis stood just outside the gardening shed, a ferrorabbit held at arm’s length by rusty crimson hands placed on the scruff and haunch, the rabbit’s little ears flattened as fear filled its tiny face. Her eyes widened further when she noticed the small stains of blood in his light brown fur. They found out about him. Ephemeral claws of blackness clutched at her soul, ripping the very fabric she was made of as an unseen beast smiled, eager to take yet one more thing from her. Her Hoppit. Her baby. Her everything.
“Hoppit!” she shrieked, her words all but tearing out of her throat in desperation. Frozen blood coursed through her veins, yet poured into exhausted limbs. She broke through the treeline with no regard for the branches slashing against her flesh, panic making each sting fade before it could be processed. The grizzled glare of the older kobold snapped towards her, his usual scowl picking up an actual air of intensity that she never thought could be absent, the promise of violence lurking in his eyes. She skidded to a stop a few paces away, the lump in her throat threatening to clog her airway. “S-stop hurting him!”
“Didn’t,” he barked back, his tone even yet firm. “Cuts ain’t me. I’d’a done worse if’a had ta mind ta.”
The blatant declaration snapped her from blind panic, although his apparent anger didn’t do her fear any favours. “B-but… Then how…”
“‘Hoppit.’ Named it, did’cha?” he grunted, ignoring her confusion and bobbing the rabbit to get her attention again. His gaze shifted back to the animal, the flames of ire cooling slightly. “I was wonderin’ why yer plots ain’t dead yet. Suppose this critter’s why.”
One of her hands hesitantly reached out until she pulled it back, while the other clutched at her chest to stop her heart from hammering against her ribs. She couldn’t act rashly. Not while her baby was in his arms. “I—”
“Soft thing, ain’t it,” the elder kobold commented curiously, cutting her off.
“Y-yes?” she returned reluctantly, struggling to stop herself from lashing out to reclaim the ferrorabbit in his grasp.
“Like fine silk.” Makis tipped and tilted the animal, inspecting this and that with a deep-seated frown, all while Hoppit silently looked to her for help. The pit in her stomach grew. She needed to get him back, but how?
Ceele swallowed the dense dread as she tried to formulate some sort of plan, stumbling over her words and forced smile. “I-it’s nice! Isn’t it nice?”
His eyes snapped back to burrow into her own with hatred. “Wasn’t a compliment, girly.”
“B-but you—”
He released Hoppit’s lower half to jab a claw at the various spikes around his body, plying them with minimal force. “Look. See this? These’r suppose ta break bone. ‘Specially when he’s stiff like this. Ain’t no way I should be able ta bend ‘em. He’s barely more than a walkin’ carcass—all skin ‘n stick. He’s gonna get picked up by a wandering pecker if he keeps pissin’ about out ‘ere. It’s a wonder he’s still kickin’. What’cha feeding ‘em?” His gaze dropped from her face to the rest of her, disgust curling his muzzle into a snarl. “N’ver mind. I can guess.”
She felt the dampness build at the edges of her vision, unprepared to not only worry for Hoppit's immediate health, but also to face such harsh criticism while she was so vulnerable. “I… I try to make sure he has…”
Makis crouched to release the ferrorabbit onto the ground, Ceele dropping to her knees the moment he did. The terrified lagomorph wasted no time, bolting towards his adoptive mother and leaping into her arms, shaking uncontrollably. The rust-coloured ‘bold stared as she started soothingly stroking the animal’s back.
“Yer given’ em the weeds, aren’t ya?” he stated rather than asked. She gave a teary nod when her voice wouldn’t respond for her. The old kobold drew a breath, letting it go in an exasperated sigh as he stood back up, his expression becoming more impatient than antagonistic. “What else?”
“I— Um…”
“What. Else?”
“W-whatever I c-can find!” she sputtered out. Hoppit tried to hide against her neck, prompting her to tighten her hold. She couldn’t stop herself from shrinking, the guilt and confusion pulling her head down. “R-roots, vegetables, fruits… I give them as often as I can.”
His glare continued unimpeded, his cadence cold. “That it?”
There were a million things Ceele wanted to say. A part of her wanted to beg him not to kick them out of the first safe place she had in longer than she could remember, but she couldn’t find the words. She wanted to deny the judgmental tone that stabbed into her insecurity surrounding how good of a job she was doing with Hoppit, but the deadened void in her chest swallowed her pride whole. She knew he was right to critique her. That she was failing in the only thing that mattered anymore. That the feeling of loss would return.
“I try,” she whispered through the beginnings of a sob. “I try to find more, but he needs someone around, and I have to work the garden, so there’s only so much time I can spend looking. He won’t even eat all of what I bring back…” Tears dripped off her cheeks as she aimed a desolate smile at her furry friend. “He wants to make sure I have some too.”
“Yer killin’ em,” Makis pointed out plainly, crossing his arms. “He’ll be dead ‘fore the summer at this rate.”
“I know!” she shouted, forcing back the memories of insidious murmurs that lurked in the back of her mind, eager to creep into her ears again. The hate-filled stares that followed her, the rumours that arrived in towns before she had the chance to make an impression, and the guilt that loomed over her like an executioner's axe… “I know I am… I just… I don’t know what he needs. I don’t know how to make him happy…but I try. I’m trying…”
“…Yer an idiot, girly.”
She looked up to see the elder kobold walking away without another word. Her eyes fell to Hoppit, the ferrorabbit pressing himself against her as much as he could. He was small, thin, soft, and growing weaker by the day, but he never let it keep him down for long. No, he always showed his best for her, giving her joy that wasn’t provided anywhere else. She saw the thin cuts and dried blood, though she didn’t know where they came from, nor how he got out of the shed in the first place. But that was okay. Hoppit was okay, and she had Hoppit, so everything was okay, right?
…But how much longer would everything stay okay? How much longer until her efforts weren’t enough, and she was left desperately reaching for fading memories of what once was? How much longer until she killed her baby too?
How much longer until she was alone again?
Soft footsteps drew near, pulling her from the spiralling thoughts that threatened to gnaw at her soul. Damp, blurry eyes fell on Makis returning with a small wooden crate, the older kobold stopping a few steps away. He dropped the box, a deep, rattling thud produced as it impacted the ground, making Hoppit flinch in her arms. Ceele blinked as she kept him calm, then blinked again, looking up at the man for answers.
“The name, girly,” he spat in irritation. “Ferrorabbit. Ther’ Earth aligned creatures; they need metals. They don’t care where they get it, but they need lots of it. Iron, copper, tin, lead—raw crystal, if they can find it. You name it, they’ll take a chunk out of it. It's why they bother farmers so much; the best soil’s usually top’a gem deposits, ‘n the little bastards have no issue burrowing deep to get it. Dries up the element’s energy ‘n makes the crops weak.”
Ceele’s mouth opened and closed, each unsuccessful attempt to speak making her feel smaller and smaller. More and more lost. Why was he telling her this? How did he know? What was in the—
He kicked the crate with the side of his foot. “Scraps. Don’t’cha look at me like that. I’m a smith, girly. I might be old and retired, but I still work a forge. Now, this ain’t anything pure—it’s just slag and hunks—but I’m sure the critter won’t mind. Your little gardenin’ project pays off, ‘n I’ll see which of my contacts can get in some better ore.”
She ripped her eyes away from the box and met the perpetual scowl of the old kobold, seeing a warmth behind the hostility that she had never noticed before. “…Why?”
He scoffed in amusement, which looked somewhat menacing on such a hardened expression. “Yer a touch stupid, girly, but the missus adores ya, ‘n yer a good worker.” A shadow of a smile formed on his face. “Hira spent more evenings asking ‘bout how the plots are doin’ than I got time in the day. She’d bite my head off if I noticed a critter like that sufferin’ and didn’t lend a hand. ‘Specially when it’s obvious you ain’t tryin’ ta hurt the thing.”
“B-but the garden… Isn’t he a problem?”
Makis rolled his eyes, turning with a dismissive wave of his hand. “If he was, he’da killed it by now. I’d say he’s been keepin’ the others clear ‘n got scratched up for the trouble. That’s more reason to feed ‘em right in my eyes; pay the poor bastard his dues.” He paused after a few steps, shooting her one last incredulous glance. “‘N the rabbit’s right. You’re not much better off than he is. Eat. Before the missus takes my head, preferably. I ain’t need ta hear her worryin’ over you more than I already do.”
And with that, he walked off back to the house, leaving Ceele to sit stunned on the ground with Hoppit quietly nuzzling into her.
“Hoppit…?”
The ferrorabbit perked an ear and gently licked her collar. Fresh tears ran rivulets down her face, yet they didn’t weigh her down. They felt freeing. She adjusted her hold on the rabbit and held him out, taking in the small cuts and numerous other injuries she had never noticed before. He stared back at her with worried eyes.
“You’ve been busy, huh?” she cooed quietly, doing her best to keep her voice from cracking. He shrunk in her hands. “I told you to stay home, baby. What if something happened to you? I wouldn’t know where you went, and…”
Her protests died out as she saw what was unmistakably guilt on his little face. She brought him back to her chest and cleared her throat.
“It’s alright, Hoppit. If… If you want to help momma, then we can work together, okay? Just…please don’t go off getting hurt… I don’t know what I’d do without you…” The rabbit didn’t reply, and she was pretty sure she had never heard him make any sounds that weren’t his happy little ear clacks, but she chose to interpret the nuzzling as an agreement. “Such a smart boy…”
She took a breath and wiped off the excess moisture from her cheeks, setting Hoppit down on the ground. “Let’s bring Mr. Makis’ gift in, and then I need to go get more water so we can clean you up, okay?”
He bounced his way to the door of their home, waiting patiently for her to lug the surprisingly heavy crate into the shed. He was even still behaving himself by the time she returned from picking up the things she dropped in her haste. There wasn’t a single protest from the ferrorabbit as she washed over his wounds with warm water, nor when she asked him to wait as she cut up a small salad for him using an extra portion of her rationed vegetables. Finally, once everything else was gone, she tentatively sifted through the box until she found a chunk of something that didn’t look so sharp, then offered it to Hoppit skeptically.
As startling as it was to see him bite through metal without issue, she couldn’t help but tear up again at how pleased he looked with the bizarre addition to his diet. He munched through the first piece, then stared at the box while pawing at the air, asking for more. She obliged through wet laughs, feeling lighter than she had since he first gazed at her from his burrow, alone and afraid, just like she was.
Her little baby was happy, and that made it okay.

It had been a few weeks since Altier was brought to the run-down shack that his black-scaled companion likely called home, and he could now comfortably say he was accustomed to the…household’s routine. The kobold typically left at the crack of dawn, returned a little after noon, and occasionally left again to forage until nightfall. When the weather was bad or there wasn’t a particular need for something, they half-heartedly chased their rabbit around for a bit, which usually ended with a bout of quiet petting while everyone got ready for the night. It was always amusing to see the energetic side of what he had come to know as a relatively lazy loaf of an animal. As for the routine of the ferrorabbit in question… Well…it was at least more interesting than expected.
Hoppit would begin his own series of activities as soon as his caretaker left—the first of which being a check of every nook and cranny in the shed. He sniffed at anything that caught his interest, varying from morning to morning, but he gave every object or corner its due attention. Once he was satisfied with that, he would eat some of the ragged plants that made up most of his diet, take a drink from his bowl, then jump onto the tro— table and plop himself down, his ears pivoting towards the door. It was hard to say if the lounging spot had been established before Altier’s arrival, but it was somewhat amusing to pretend that the little rabbit was standing guard over his core—if it wasn’t for one particular part of the morning ritual, that is.
Indeed, the ferrorabbit had a habit of licking the obsidian orb that sat in the middle of the room, which thankfully didn’t seem to perturb the system enough to give Altier a headache. He was confused when it first happened, but it was commonplace enough now that he barely acknowledged it. A part of him liked that he was getting attention as a core, even if it was delivered via a strange grooming method. The closest he got to being acknowledged as something other than ‘the dungeon’ was through an unfortunate misunderstanding that he could never properly rectify. He supposed that was hardly worth thinking about now, though; too much time had passed for there to be anyone left to correct. The little oddity of his mornings would have to suffice.
There wasn’t much to comment on as far as the rest of the day’s happenings. Hoppit would end his loafing by shaking his head and ears in a way that filled the silence with soft clacks, give the core a customary tongue bath, then jump off the table to nose his way out of the shed through a hole that was hidden by the storage cart against the wall. Where the rabbit went was anyone’s guess, but he always returned before anyone noticed he was gone, and often did so while covered in small cuts and scratches. Any blood from the lacerations was quickly licked off before it could be seen by the kobold, and in the event that the scaly caretaker happened to return earlier than expected, Hoppit would scurry over to the bundles of blankets to finish the cleanup in secret.
Today looked to be following the usual pattern. The kobold left bright and early with various gardening tools and a wooden pail, and Hoppit had since set off into the great unknown for one reason or another. Hopefully, he returned less injured than usual. It was frustrating to admit that Altier had begun to grow rather fond of the fluffy creature, and seeing the thing come back hurt was bothersome. Was it off looking for food? There wasn’t a whole lot given to it, so that was a possibility, and it could be getting into fights over whatever it found. That still didn’t explain why the animal was so thin, and Altier didn’t have enough to go off of to think of a potential solution. He wanted to help it in some way, like by summoning a creature to act as an escort, or maybe just by manifesting something edible like he once could. No, he could only stare at the ‘Synchronizing…’ that occupied his menu, wishing he had more information to work with.
He never thought he would miss the bombardment of notifications and their lingering presence that filled the edge of his mental vision; at least with that he could surmise enough to hazard some kind of action. Even knowing why the menu was acting the way it did would be a start. Yet, try as he might, there wasn’t a history for him to reference anymore, and he had nothing to work with. He was confident the last message had asked him to ‘accept’ something, then took his befuddled ponderance as an answer, but he was no closer to an explanation for what it wanted, nor why it prompted him in the first place. He just didn’t have another experience to compare against, since nothing like that had ever happened before. Not that he was ever in much of a position to allow it.
The entire purpose of having Altier inhabit a core was for him to become a dungeon of Decay, which entailed all the skeletons, poisons, acids, and whatever else came to mind when one pictured the concept. ‘Living’ creatures were something he only had the chance to experiment with near the beginning of his new existence, though he never dabbled past the first few insects before transitioning to the mindless undead. Having a thinking, feeling, breathing entity touch his core was a rite reserved only for the adventurers and soldiers that bested his trials, and that was usually a painful experience. Now, he had spent what he could only guess was hours being held by a kobold, followed by having a rabbit bump against him, and neither felt like what he came to expect. Instead, both had led to a completely novel reaction from the system. The strange circumstances put him at a bit of a loss as to what it all meant for him.
Sure, he could dismiss the deluge of errors from his companion’s involvement by pointing to the numerous ‘corrupted’ messages before it, and Hoppit was a part of mostly unexplored territory, but the lack of clarity nagged at the back of his mind constantly. Being exposed to activity after potential decades or centuries of unchanging solitude made him despise the informational dead end. If he couldn’t make sense of the rabbit’s circumstances, then he didn’t have much hope of deciphering the reason for why his system was misbehaving so terribly. He also didn't know much about the one who owned the decrepit holdings he was housed inside.
He still wasn’t sure what drove the kobold to take him from the cave. His suspicion of becoming traded goods fell flat after the first week or so, and he hadn’t noticed any cult-like behaviour, which was promising. Granted, a lack of nefarious behaviour didn’t mean there was a lack of nefarious intent, but he didn’t get the impression his companion held that either. The kobold itself didn’t seem quite settled on an opinion of his core, though it was up for debate if the hesitation was due to knowing what he was or not. They seemed to mull something over before bed each night, yet never reached a satisfactory conclusion, staring at the obsidian orb through weary grey eyes until they eventually forced themselves into sleep.
Whatever the underlying reasoning for his abduction was, he had observed enough to know that the kobold didn’t deserve to live in destitution. As beaten as the shed might be, they cared for it as best they could, and did so without a single groan or grimace of complaint. The floors were cleaned with a tattered rag and fresh water, dust was removed regularly, and any stray mess that Hoppit made was dealt with promptly. They even took the time to wipe off his core, which was possibly where the ferrorabbit got the idea to start licking him. The only time Altier had seen discontent from the kobold was when they didn’t find much during their foraging, and thus couldn’t give any treats to the excited and bouncy herbivore.
He wasn’t aware that a creature’s face could make such a painfully broken expression, and he was quick to decide that he never wanted to see it again.
Vexingly, his metaphorical hands were tied; a dungeon could only influence their Domain, and given the state of his system, not even that option was available to him. All he could do was glare at the rotting wooden beams that held up the roof and remember when such an issue didn’t exist. It would have taken a mere flicker of thought and a paltry sum of mana to mend the struts when he was a proper dungeon. He could even outright reinforce the structure by weaving in other materials, leaving the appearance as it was while making everything stronger than iron. Well, he once could. Working with other affinities was something that came to him after absorbing the coloured motes left behind by adventurers, and the accursed stone that stole his mana had taken that ability as well.
An attempt was made anyway, his will ordering the deteriorated wood to absorb any trace metals from the ground, but it was no use. He couldn’t feel the iron or stones beneath the shed like he would have been able to before, all but confirming his suspicion that his connection to the Earth element had slipped away. Nature was much the same; the only way he knew when Hoppit had returned most days was from the subtle noise and the essence of injury. The other attributes—Air, Flame, Luma, Shadow, and so on—were ones he never experimented with to any real extent, so it was less noticeable when he lost his grasp on them. Perhaps they faded early. Either way, all he had left was a waning cognizance of his own alignment, and that wasn’t of much use to him. If he had any appreciable mana income, then perhaps he could do something, but he wasn’t even sure what the upkeep of his current Domain might be. It was entirely possible that he was running on a deficit, which would offer a reason for why his system had been so—
[Do#$@n Ex@#d$%^&d! CRe@#r H-H-H-HoPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP—]
[Errrrrrr—]
[Sy$%^hroni%^$zing…]
[Creeee-tu— Hoppit ha@$ esttttb-hed terrrrrrr-ity f^#% t$e dun@&$n!]
- - - - -
“Well then,” he mumbled to himself, taking in the strange scene behind the shed. For one, he could actually view a small distance beyond the structure now, and two, there was a rather proud-looking Hoppit sitting on his haunches before a pair of significantly less prideful examples of the species. They looked quite a bit bigger than the lazy loaf Altier had come to know, yet they were more cut up and dejected than his furry friend. That answered where the injuries had been coming from, he supposed. Hoppit was probably running off to bash heads with whatever animal population existed here beforehand, and they had only just reached a consensus on who was in charge. Impressive.
One of Hoppit’s ears turned back towards the shed, his head following suit as he gave a lagomorph’s approximation of a ‘Look what I did!’ smile. Altier blanked out mentally, but didn’t have time to question anything before the new leader of the local rabbits imperiously pointed a paw towards the surrounding forest, which was equally surreal to witness. Most surprising of all, the…subordinates? The other ferrorabbits did as commanded, keeping their forms small as they took off into the foliage. Soft clacks came from Hoppit’s pleased shake of his head, then he too left the area with only a slightly lopsided bounce to his stride.
The man-turned-core could only gape at what he saw. Were animals always so…expressive? Had Hoppit heard him? What in the world was happening? Why had Hoppit’s personal conquest led to Altier’s Domain expanding?
He lamented not having fingers, nor temples to rub with them. His system was a garbled mess of errors and inconsistent messages, his residence was falling apart at the seams, his companion was someone who abducted him from the dungeon, yet never did anything past that, and his first real experience with an animal was turning out to be more confusing than he thought possible.
All of this was after an unknown amount of time spent commanding legions of undead to strengthen the very people who he would later learn had lied to and manipulated him, making him into a nightmarish entity just to bolster the power of their forces. He almost missed the days spent gazing out of a mossy window. At least then he knew what to expect.
Nothing made sense anymore.
= = = = =
The soft sound of roots ripping free from soil suddenly stopped, only to be followed by a dull thud of Ceele’s palm slapping against the ground to catch her fall before she landed on her rear. She righted herself with her tail and tossed the stubborn weed into a pile with the others. No matter how many mornings she did this, they always seemed to replace themselves faster than she could remove the pesky things. A sigh slipped from her muzzle as she set about grabbing the next one embedded in the vegetable garden.
Aches and spreading stiffness flared up, but went ignored as she neared the end of her duties, though she was well aware that they would come back with force once she tried to settle down for the day. The impending soreness was an inevitable byproduct of spending so much time working. Still, she knew that if it wasn’t for the kindly old couple that allowed her to call their shed home, she would still be sleeping beneath the stars while making sure nothing tried to get at her Hoppit. Even if it was just a part of the deal, they were owed this much in return, and she would see it done properly.
The sun bore down on her back as she did her usual tasks, which was a departure from the slightly overcast weather as of late. It looked somewhat promising when she checked in the wee hours of the morning, yet as her gardening duties dragged on, so too did the intensity of such a clear sky. A disappointed glance at the empty wooden bucket on the edge of the field was quickly corrected. She hadn’t thought to refill it at the river after watering the crops, and her parched throat was making its protests known, while also reminding her that there wasn’t much water left at home either. One more thing to take care of when she was done.
A gruff cough brought her attention towards the old kobold resting his back against a tree some distance away, safely shaded from the unforgiving rays beaming down. Her displeasure at having yet more to do was hastily wiped away. She was undecided on what to think of the detached audience, but looking so sour while upholding her side of the agreement wouldn’t reflect well on her. Hopefully, he hadn’t seen it. Not that she could tell if he did; he always had the same expression when he watched her work. The elder kobold’s arms were crossed, a finger tapping absently against his bicep, while his tail sat motionless on the grass, the muddy red colour of his scales standing out amongst the greens and browns. ‘Makis,’ was his name, assuming her memory served.
Makis had taken to observing her every so often, usually propping himself against this or that at a distance, the unwavering scowl being as unnerving as it was belying of his age. Somewhat loose skin sagged a bit around his jowls and neck, yet the rest of his face was still taut from how much time he spent examining red-hot metal, and his arms were marred with countless burns and cuts from his profession. He held an oppressive aura, though the crinkles around his eyes and muzzle suggested he smiled as frequently as he glowered, even if Ceele was yet to see the former. There was only the same judgmental expression aimed at her when he was around. She could only hope that he didn’t take offence to some unintended slight, but she didn’t know him well enough to say what might be considered one.
They hadn’t spoken since she took up residence on the outskirts of his land. His wife was the one to introduce them, but it was quickly established that he had no intention of being a chatty individual. He led Ceele to the shed hidden amongst the trees on the edge of the property, then dismissed her with only a grunt coming from the elderly kobold. She supposed that it was for the best. Her experience in socializing was centred around convincing others to employ her, and there hadn’t been much of an opportunity to expand her horizons while living a life on the road. If that had been the end of their interactions, she would have swiftly written the terseness off, but he appeared every few days, taking up residence beneath the shade as he watched her work, never speaking a single word. At least he didn’t openly protest her presence, yet she figured that would be easier to manage. He wouldn’t be such an enigma then.
There wasn’t a whole lot she knew about him besides his penchant for ‘supervision,’ and anything beyond that was what his wife had volunteered during the rare opportunity they had to chat. She was told that Makis worked the smithy out front, and although he had retired from doing so in an official capacity, she could still regularly hear his hammer as she tended to the garden, so she figured he kept himself busy most days. It made her wonder what was so interesting about a vagrant like herself, but when there was so little else to do, she could see how anything could be made worth the attention. It was just him and his wife living in the once bustling home, after all; the couple’s children had long since grown up and made families of their own.
She noticed his gaze shift elsewhere as she tugged yet another stubborn intruder from the soil, his arms falling from across his chest and the perpetually worn displeasure melting to that of curiosity. He wandered off shortly after, and she had to make an effort not to fall onto her tail as the pressure on her shoulders unexpectedly evaporated. Did something happen?
Ceele shook her head free of the distracting thought. It wasn’t her business if he grew bored with watching her work. As long as no one voiced any complaints, she could only assume that she was doing a satisfactory job. Maybe he finally decided that he didn’t need to be so watchful because she was doing well! That could be it, right?
A glance at the somewhat sloppily maintained garden erased the false confidence from her face, but she was just as quick to focus on finishing up, unwilling to allow darker musings to fester. Thankfully, there didn’t seem to be anything else that needed her intervention. The weeds were all uprooted, the soil was appropriately dampened, and her check for pesky insects or wildlife turned up nothing to worry about. She was free for the rest of the day!
…Or she would be free—as soon as she finished the last of her tasks, anyway.
The black-scaled kobold got up from her crouch unsteadily, shivering and wincing from the pins and needles in her legs. She would have to remember to stretch more often; it was far too easy to forgo that kind of thing just to make the overall work go slightly faster. Her hand reached out to grab the pile of weeds and put them into the bucket as she ran through what needed to be done before she could properly relax. Hoppit’s food needed to be washed, she needed to bathe, and they were running low on water anyway, so she would have to visit the river. Just the thought of dragging herself into the forest again made her muscles protest, but she wouldn’t have the energy to do it later. She forced the smile that had started to fall and took the first of many steps.
- - - - -
The river wasn’t too far away, only taking a few minutes of traipsing through the dense woodlands until she reached her destination. It was an idyllic little spot. The trees thinned out to allow a grassy bank along the water, and there was an appreciably gentle slope from shallows to depths, making for a convenient place to take care of various needs. She had discovered this place during her travels, and it was where a kind older woman found her.
Ceele was washing off at the time, with Hoppit safely taking shelter from the outside underneath the bundled blankets while he waited. The trickle of the stream brushing against rocks covered the sound of footsteps, so she was rather surprised when an aged voice called out to ask if she was okay. Her first reaction was to distance herself and apologize—the why didn’t matter, but she had learned that most people were more lenient of her presence if she seemed apologetic for it, and she usually was. The elderly kobold just laughed at her scrambling, tacking on an assurance that there was no need for modesty. The woman was blind, apparently, which explained how Ceele’s blackened colours hadn’t deterred her.
Strangely enough, there was a comforting sense of ease around the one who introduced herself as Hira. It was a sort of presence that Ceele could only vaguely remember, and it drew her close enough to speak as she finished bathing. The conversation wasn’t anything profound, of course—they hardly delved deeper than surface-level small talk—but Hira lost her smile as she listened to the younger kobold. By the end of it, the old woman posed a series of questions with a dark inflection to her voice, and Ceele struggled to find an answer.
‘Are you tired of looking for something that only slips away? Are you tired of running? Do you really want to be scared and alone?’
If the silence bothered Hira, then it didn’t show. She had simply held out a hand and offered Ceele a way of life that didn’t involve wondering where she would be spending the night, nor entailed cowering in the brush while fearsome predators roamed freely. It would be a simple existence of few fortunes, but it was safe, and it was honest. All she had to do was say yes.
Ceele denied it at first, partially because she knew most people despised Hobbit's species, and partially because she couldn’t shake the offer being too good to be true. Hira was quick to propose a compromise; Ceele could take residence in the gardening shed that had fallen from use, and to satiate the nagging sense of an unfair deal, she would be put in charge of maintaining the garden itself. All Hira wanted was to ‘see’ her favourite space bloom again, since she couldn’t take care of it anymore. The black-scaled kobold stared longingly at where Hoppit was, his little body shivering from the prolonged cold and fear that he would be hurt if he left the blankets hiding him. It was with a heavy guilt that she accepted Hira’s offer, keeping quiet about her true reason for doing so.
That was in the past, however, though she thought about it every time she stopped by and saw the smooth rocks where she and Hira first met. Eventually, she might gather the courage to admit that she was housing a ‘pest’ and beg for forgiveness. Until then, she would just work her hardest to prove it wasn’t a mistake to give her a home. That her endless efforts weren’t meaningless. That Hoppit deserved to be more than a ‘pest.’
That Ceele was more than something she had no control over being.
She cleared her head a bit and started on the reason she came all this way. Her dress was rather easy to wash in the meandering water, and the trees provided a suitable place for it to dry in the sunlight and light breeze. The weeds were fine with a thorough rinse near in the shallows, but taking care of her own hygiene required her to wade farther in, though it only came up to her chest in the middle of the rill. Still, she could scrub off the soil and grime, which was all she really needed. Perhaps some simple soaps would help rid her of the pervasive black that stained her skin and scales, but that was beyond her meagre means for the time being, as well as being mere wishful thinking.
She worked past the dreary mindset that settled in when she allowed it, focusing on how serene the river was. The soft birdsong from the trees helped make for a peaceful experience, and she could feel the somewhat chilled liquid basically pour into the aches and pains throughout her body, washing away the stiffness from spending so long under the unerring sun. It was nice to escape reality and let thoughts drift while held buoyant by calmer waters.
Yet the bliss was short-lived. Even if winter was gone, spring was still far from warming the waters enough for her to laze about for too long. She dragged herself from the soft current and fetched her dress from the low-lying branch she left it to dry on. It was still a touch damp, but it wasn’t anything a bit of time in front of the fireplace wouldn’t fix.
Ceele was only a short distance away from home when she heard a gravelly male voice, but it was the flicker of sight between the trees that made her drop what was in her arms and lunge into a sprint.
Makis stood just outside the gardening shed, a ferrorabbit held at arm’s length by rusty crimson hands placed on the scruff and haunch, the rabbit’s little ears flattened as fear filled its tiny face. Her eyes widened further when she noticed the small stains of blood in his light brown fur. They found out about him. Ephemeral claws of blackness clutched at her soul, ripping the very fabric she was made of as an unseen beast smiled, eager to take yet one more thing from her. Her Hoppit. Her baby. Her everything.
“Hoppit!” she shrieked, her words all but tearing out of her throat in desperation. Frozen blood coursed through her veins, yet poured into exhausted limbs. She broke through the treeline with no regard for the branches slashing against her flesh, panic making each sting fade before it could be processed. The grizzled glare of the older kobold snapped towards her, his usual scowl picking up an actual air of intensity that she never thought could be absent, the promise of violence lurking in his eyes. She skidded to a stop a few paces away, the lump in her throat threatening to clog her airway. “S-stop hurting him!”
“Didn’t,” he barked back, his tone even yet firm. “Cuts ain’t me. I’d’a done worse if’a had ta mind ta.”
The blatant declaration snapped her from blind panic, although his apparent anger didn’t do her fear any favours. “B-but… Then how…”
“‘Hoppit.’ Named it, did’cha?” he grunted, ignoring her confusion and bobbing the rabbit to get her attention again. His gaze shifted back to the animal, the flames of ire cooling slightly. “I was wonderin’ why yer plots ain’t dead yet. Suppose this critter’s why.”
One of her hands hesitantly reached out until she pulled it back, while the other clutched at her chest to stop her heart from hammering against her ribs. She couldn’t act rashly. Not while her baby was in his arms. “I—”
“Soft thing, ain’t it,” the elder kobold commented curiously, cutting her off.
“Y-yes?” she returned reluctantly, struggling to stop herself from lashing out to reclaim the ferrorabbit in his grasp.
“Like fine silk.” Makis tipped and tilted the animal, inspecting this and that with a deep-seated frown, all while Hoppit silently looked to her for help. The pit in her stomach grew. She needed to get him back, but how?
Ceele swallowed the dense dread as she tried to formulate some sort of plan, stumbling over her words and forced smile. “I-it’s nice! Isn’t it nice?”
His eyes snapped back to burrow into her own with hatred. “Wasn’t a compliment, girly.”
“B-but you—”
He released Hoppit’s lower half to jab a claw at the various spikes around his body, plying them with minimal force. “Look. See this? These’r suppose ta break bone. ‘Specially when he’s stiff like this. Ain’t no way I should be able ta bend ‘em. He’s barely more than a walkin’ carcass—all skin ‘n stick. He’s gonna get picked up by a wandering pecker if he keeps pissin’ about out ‘ere. It’s a wonder he’s still kickin’. What’cha feeding ‘em?” His gaze dropped from her face to the rest of her, disgust curling his muzzle into a snarl. “N’ver mind. I can guess.”
She felt the dampness build at the edges of her vision, unprepared to not only worry for Hoppit's immediate health, but also to face such harsh criticism while she was so vulnerable. “I… I try to make sure he has…”
Makis crouched to release the ferrorabbit onto the ground, Ceele dropping to her knees the moment he did. The terrified lagomorph wasted no time, bolting towards his adoptive mother and leaping into her arms, shaking uncontrollably. The rust-coloured ‘bold stared as she started soothingly stroking the animal’s back.
“Yer given’ em the weeds, aren’t ya?” he stated rather than asked. She gave a teary nod when her voice wouldn’t respond for her. The old kobold drew a breath, letting it go in an exasperated sigh as he stood back up, his expression becoming more impatient than antagonistic. “What else?”
“I— Um…”
“What. Else?”
“W-whatever I c-can find!” she sputtered out. Hoppit tried to hide against her neck, prompting her to tighten her hold. She couldn’t stop herself from shrinking, the guilt and confusion pulling her head down. “R-roots, vegetables, fruits… I give them as often as I can.”
His glare continued unimpeded, his cadence cold. “That it?”
There were a million things Ceele wanted to say. A part of her wanted to beg him not to kick them out of the first safe place she had in longer than she could remember, but she couldn’t find the words. She wanted to deny the judgmental tone that stabbed into her insecurity surrounding how good of a job she was doing with Hoppit, but the deadened void in her chest swallowed her pride whole. She knew he was right to critique her. That she was failing in the only thing that mattered anymore. That the feeling of loss would return.
“I try,” she whispered through the beginnings of a sob. “I try to find more, but he needs someone around, and I have to work the garden, so there’s only so much time I can spend looking. He won’t even eat all of what I bring back…” Tears dripped off her cheeks as she aimed a desolate smile at her furry friend. “He wants to make sure I have some too.”
“Yer killin’ em,” Makis pointed out plainly, crossing his arms. “He’ll be dead ‘fore the summer at this rate.”
“I know!” she shouted, forcing back the memories of insidious murmurs that lurked in the back of her mind, eager to creep into her ears again. The hate-filled stares that followed her, the rumours that arrived in towns before she had the chance to make an impression, and the guilt that loomed over her like an executioner's axe… “I know I am… I just… I don’t know what he needs. I don’t know how to make him happy…but I try. I’m trying…”
“…Yer an idiot, girly.”
She looked up to see the elder kobold walking away without another word. Her eyes fell to Hoppit, the ferrorabbit pressing himself against her as much as he could. He was small, thin, soft, and growing weaker by the day, but he never let it keep him down for long. No, he always showed his best for her, giving her joy that wasn’t provided anywhere else. She saw the thin cuts and dried blood, though she didn’t know where they came from, nor how he got out of the shed in the first place. But that was okay. Hoppit was okay, and she had Hoppit, so everything was okay, right?
…But how much longer would everything stay okay? How much longer until her efforts weren’t enough, and she was left desperately reaching for fading memories of what once was? How much longer until she killed her baby too?
How much longer until she was alone again?
Soft footsteps drew near, pulling her from the spiralling thoughts that threatened to gnaw at her soul. Damp, blurry eyes fell on Makis returning with a small wooden crate, the older kobold stopping a few steps away. He dropped the box, a deep, rattling thud produced as it impacted the ground, making Hoppit flinch in her arms. Ceele blinked as she kept him calm, then blinked again, looking up at the man for answers.
“The name, girly,” he spat in irritation. “Ferrorabbit. Ther’ Earth aligned creatures; they need metals. They don’t care where they get it, but they need lots of it. Iron, copper, tin, lead—raw crystal, if they can find it. You name it, they’ll take a chunk out of it. It's why they bother farmers so much; the best soil’s usually top’a gem deposits, ‘n the little bastards have no issue burrowing deep to get it. Dries up the element’s energy ‘n makes the crops weak.”
Ceele’s mouth opened and closed, each unsuccessful attempt to speak making her feel smaller and smaller. More and more lost. Why was he telling her this? How did he know? What was in the—
He kicked the crate with the side of his foot. “Scraps. Don’t’cha look at me like that. I’m a smith, girly. I might be old and retired, but I still work a forge. Now, this ain’t anything pure—it’s just slag and hunks—but I’m sure the critter won’t mind. Your little gardenin’ project pays off, ‘n I’ll see which of my contacts can get in some better ore.”
She ripped her eyes away from the box and met the perpetual scowl of the old kobold, seeing a warmth behind the hostility that she had never noticed before. “…Why?”
He scoffed in amusement, which looked somewhat menacing on such a hardened expression. “Yer a touch stupid, girly, but the missus adores ya, ‘n yer a good worker.” A shadow of a smile formed on his face. “Hira spent more evenings asking ‘bout how the plots are doin’ than I got time in the day. She’d bite my head off if I noticed a critter like that sufferin’ and didn’t lend a hand. ‘Specially when it’s obvious you ain’t tryin’ ta hurt the thing.”
“B-but the garden… Isn’t he a problem?”
Makis rolled his eyes, turning with a dismissive wave of his hand. “If he was, he’da killed it by now. I’d say he’s been keepin’ the others clear ‘n got scratched up for the trouble. That’s more reason to feed ‘em right in my eyes; pay the poor bastard his dues.” He paused after a few steps, shooting her one last incredulous glance. “‘N the rabbit’s right. You’re not much better off than he is. Eat. Before the missus takes my head, preferably. I ain’t need ta hear her worryin’ over you more than I already do.”
And with that, he walked off back to the house, leaving Ceele to sit stunned on the ground with Hoppit quietly nuzzling into her.
“Hoppit…?”
The ferrorabbit perked an ear and gently licked her collar. Fresh tears ran rivulets down her face, yet they didn’t weigh her down. They felt freeing. She adjusted her hold on the rabbit and held him out, taking in the small cuts and numerous other injuries she had never noticed before. He stared back at her with worried eyes.
“You’ve been busy, huh?” she cooed quietly, doing her best to keep her voice from cracking. He shrunk in her hands. “I told you to stay home, baby. What if something happened to you? I wouldn’t know where you went, and…”
Her protests died out as she saw what was unmistakably guilt on his little face. She brought him back to her chest and cleared her throat.
“It’s alright, Hoppit. If… If you want to help momma, then we can work together, okay? Just…please don’t go off getting hurt… I don’t know what I’d do without you…” The rabbit didn’t reply, and she was pretty sure she had never heard him make any sounds that weren’t his happy little ear clacks, but she chose to interpret the nuzzling as an agreement. “Such a smart boy…”
She took a breath and wiped off the excess moisture from her cheeks, setting Hoppit down on the ground. “Let’s bring Mr. Makis’ gift in, and then I need to go get more water so we can clean you up, okay?”
He bounced his way to the door of their home, waiting patiently for her to lug the surprisingly heavy crate into the shed. He was even still behaving himself by the time she returned from picking up the things she dropped in her haste. There wasn’t a single protest from the ferrorabbit as she washed over his wounds with warm water, nor when she asked him to wait as she cut up a small salad for him using an extra portion of her rationed vegetables. Finally, once everything else was gone, she tentatively sifted through the box until she found a chunk of something that didn’t look so sharp, then offered it to Hoppit skeptically.
As startling as it was to see him bite through metal without issue, she couldn’t help but tear up again at how pleased he looked with the bizarre addition to his diet. He munched through the first piece, then stared at the box while pawing at the air, asking for more. She obliged through wet laughs, feeling lighter than she had since he first gazed at her from his burrow, alone and afraid, just like she was.
Her little baby was happy, and that made it okay.

A bit about me; I'm asian, I'm 5'5, slim, dark hair and have fair skin. About my hobbies; I love to travel, I like to jog on a nice weekend, I love to free dive and snorkel, I watch anime (just saw Haikyuu Dumpster Battle movie and currently watching Kaiju no. 8 and new season of Demon Slayer! I love them so far!), series (I'm watching Young Sheldon) and movies. I also collect some few pieces of rare cacti. Oh, I also love Pokemon! Haha

2024.06.09 09:05 sameed_a how to improve problem-solving with growth mindset?
It's Thursday afternoon, and I'm hunched over my desk, brow furrowed in concentration. On my screen displayed a vexing coding issue that had been giving me sleepless nights for over a week now. I could feel the pressure building. The clock was ticking, the deadline was approaching, and my frustration was mounting.
In the past, I would have ended up pulling my hair out, allowing my self-doubt to take over. I would've thought, "I'm just not smart enough," or "I guess coding really isn't for me." But recently, I've been trying to shift my perspective, to adapt a growth mindset, if you may, to help me better cope with such situations.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I decided to think of my problem as a challenging puzzle waiting to be solved. I told myself, "Sure, I might not have all the answers right now, but that doesn't mean I can't figure them out." So, I took a step back, attempting a new mental model - the "First Principles Thinking".
I broke down the problem into smaller, manageable parts, honestly assessed what I knew and didn't know, and then started to build up from the basics. Piece by piece, line by line, I began untangling the knots. And before I knew it, the once intimidating problem started to look a whole lot easier.
With my new-found approach, I was able to restructure a seemingly unsolvable problem into something I could handle. And you won't believe it, but I finally cracked that code! Not only did I finish my task way before the deadline, but I also learned a thing or two about different coding modules. I've got to say, ever since adopting this growth mindset and trying out this mental model, my problem-solving skills have significantly improved.
P.S. While the story above sounds like it's straight out of a Ridley Scott film about a coder turning hero overnight, it's purely hypothetical. The point is, you too can use mental models like "First Principles Thinking" in your daily life to change the game. Trust me, it's not as intense as it sounds. We're not saving the world here, just trying to debug our lives. Happy problem-solving!

2024.06.09 07:24 yabukoforever 23F - Pharmacy Student, Karachi
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Height & weight: 5'2 55Kg
Religion: Muslim, Sunni
Mother tongue: Sindhi, Urdu
Marital Status: Single
Education: Pharm.D Undergrad, O and A levels.
Do you want kids? Yes, after a few years.
Residence: Karachi, own and rented.
Family: Father’s a doctor and mother’s a housewife and teacher. I have 2 sisters, one’s in MBBS and the other in telecommunications. I’m the eldest.
A lil about me: Born into a household where medicine and education run thicker than chai, I inherited a passion for both. I was raised in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and moved to Karachi in 2021 to pursue my undergraduate degree. Currently in my 4th year, I plan on becoming a Clinical Pharmacist and settling abroad, where I can put my skills to good use and make a difference in people's lives.
My interests: When I'm not busy memorizing drug interactions or exploring pharmaceutical sciences, you'll find me indulging in my not-so-guilty pleasures. I'm a language enthusiast, with approximately 6.5 languages under my belt, I aspire to be a hyperpolygot one day. I enjoy watching anime, K/J/C/T dramas, and crime documentaries, often trying to solve the cases before the characters do. I'm also an avid reader, with a fondness for philosophy, psychology, sufism, poetry, and dystopian novels. I occasionally prose poetry and embroider, and I love baking - cooking not so much (I blame it on my turbulent relationship with kitchen appliances and the fact that anything I cook turns to crisp). I'm a bit of a foodie, and I love trying new recipes (made by others). I'm also a fan of outdoor activities, badminton’s my favourite sport, and I enjoy spending time in nature. My cat, Siyah, is my constant companion and brings me immense joy, even when she's plotting world domination.
Deal Breakers: Man-child, non practicing, poor personal hygiene, emotionally unavailable, smoking, vaping, apathetic, dishonesty, anger issues/inability to manage emotions constructively, narcissistic tendencies, lack of ambition/drive.
My Requirements: Age: 23 - 27 Practicing muslim (I’ll be asking questions since I need someone higher or on my level of religiosity) Residence: Karachi, or abroad (as long as they are adventurous with a good sense of humor and doesn't mind the occasional cat hair in their food) No preference for caste.
Expectations from the partner: Compassionate and supportive, my ideal partner genuinely embraces my family as their own. I expect my partner to be compatible with me spiritually, educationally, and familially. They should be willing to support me in my goals and aspirations, and be a source of emotional comfort and strength. I'm looking for someone who would be willing to grow as better Muslims, in all ways, whether it be pushing each other to pray or memorizing the Quran together. Bonus points if you know how to cook.
Timeframe in which you want to marry: 1-2 years. If you're a like-minded individual who shares my values and aspirations, I'd love to connect and explore the possibility of a lifelong partnership filled with laughter, love, and maybe even a few more cats (but no more than 10, I assure you).
Above all, I'm just a normal person trying to make the most of life. I'm not perfect, and I'm definitely not looking for perfection in a partner. I only seek genuine connection and shared growth.

2024.06.09 07:19 zackphoenix123 [Spoiler Discussion] I watched the Season 3 PV at 0.25 speed and this is what I found. (Part 1)
This'll be the start of a long streak of posts. I only while making this post realized that Reddit does not allow for more than 5 videos, so I can't really post much clips from the trailer. But even so, there are a lot of still frames that can be analyzed. So this maybe split into like 3 or 4 parts depending on how many clips there are.
Also, I got banned for 3 days because of my dumbass misreading the flair and posting arc 6 spoilers. Genuinely sorry to the mods, u/Dull_Midnight8939, and whoever else was spoiled by that.
I won't be mentioning every little detail I noticed because that's gonna take a really long time and I will end up repeating what I've already said. I'm just gonna be taking the ones that I found interesting.
First!
https://preview.redd.it/nrlnurchpf5d1.png?width=1255&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a0baf55b8a2f6e4e0263f652d493abeb1a1dbb9
I love these shots of Subaru and Beatrice. One thing I really hate when it comes to some anime is if the Compositing and colors are really thick that it feels like something is stabbing my eyes. The ground and the skies are pleasant to look at and I love how White Fox is keeping the tradition of making really nice skies. Even in this shot that probably won't last more than 2 seconds in the final cut, it's still nice.
https://reddit.com/link/1dbm6yu/video/95biscf4qf5d1/player
I will say, when I first heard that White Fox will be animating both Arcs 5 and Arc 6 in 3 cours, I was very skeptical. I didn't think, after the whole ordeal with Season 2, that they'd be able to animate Arc 5, let alone Arcs 5 and 6 in what was potentially a 3-cour show. So when the PV opened up with this nice piece of animation in a scene I didn't really think the anime would put much effort in. It got me interested.
Also even super early on, we can see that the new season has a different aesthetic when it comes to colors, and honestly- I really dig it. From what I know, this kind of thing should be attributed to the new Art Director Kinoshita Ryouka and Director of Photography Miyagi Kaori. I will say, there are times when I'm not the biggest fan of the colors, but generally I really dig it. It's a welcome change imo. Ah- also, I'm not saying the previous staff did a "worse job," I'm just really like this new approach. Season 2 also isn't a totally fair comparison because there were less staff working on it and overall, they couldn't give it the best treatment.
We can definitely see how different the greenery looks if we look at this shot from Season 2.
ALSO BEATRICE IS SO EXPRESSIVE NOW!
I've read the Novels so I knew Beatrice was going to be more expressive, generally. But to see it actually in animation makes it hit so much harder after all her Tsundere moments in Season 1 and downright depressing moments in Season 2.
Also minor detail I found.
They drew the soles of his shoes. I love it. I love the fact that it just exists. It's such a minor thing, but they animated it anyway.
For this next shot, we can see that Mimi's clothes are... I forgot the word, it's like they're moving with the wind.
There's that \"alert\" animation.
This is something that I found interesting. With this, and the Beatrice (>u<) image, and also the general scenery, it seems this season is going to lean more towards the cartoony side of Re:Zero's world. I don't mean cartoony in a bad way or like childish. But cartoony in the sense where we're gonna be getting more exaggeration rather than Season 1's more cinematic approach. Season 1 of course also has a ton of characters being exaggerated, but this shot feels so mundane and "in the background," so to see it having those kinds of effects as well, makes me think that it'll be incorporated more into the series.
And again, that isn't a bad thing. Given how Arc 6 will be and the more chaotic fights of Arc 5, I'm hoping that they don't go as cinematic as Season 1. This also opens bridges to potentially adapting some monologues and the like. I'd rather take this risk, rather than play it safe and stick to what "worked" before because I don't think what worked before will work here.
Also, this isn't really important, but I love how even from a distance, they make sure to keep \"Subaru has sharp eyes\" consistency.
Another thing, Subaru is 172cm in the novels, and Petra is said to be roughly 4'7?
Idk if it's just me, but it seems the staff also may have taken notice and made Petra slightly taller (as she's supposed to be). Though minor details like height are usually inconsistent, it's interesting to see because Subaru is slouching in this shot in season 2 and Petra's still shorter than his shoulders.
Judging by this shot, it seems the ground dragon will be CG. This isn't really an issue for me as CG ground dragons are typical for Re:Zero.
Though ideally, I wish we eventually reach a point where the ground dragons can look something like Mushoku's ground dragons.
And I honestly don't think this is that far fetched because White Fox is training new staff from what I've heard. One of the things I recently learned of anime productions is that so many animators now are freelancers who work on one show and move on to the next. They're not the type to work as an employee, so unlike before, these "techniques" that they've developed won't really have the potential to be taught to the next generations of animators. When I heard that, I realized how important it is for those great animators to also eventually teach as well.
So to hear White Fox is also doing something like this (I've only heard, I don't have any official sources), what we've seen from Sengoku Youko and what could be Re:Zero Season 3 may just be them at their weakest. If they're given more time to cook and grow, they can produce better and better things. Arcs 7 and 8 may not be outside the realm of possibility. But of course, it's way too early to tell.
We can really notice how different the color is here.
I gotta say, I'm not the biggest fan of Mimi's redesign. I think her round face reached peak roundness during Season 1, now she kinda looks like a chubby blob. Though at the same time, I love her little butterfly ribbon.
https://preview.redd.it/gaiu02995g5d1.png?width=1301&format=png&auto=webp&s=e8146c339be320583645c69182216ef0a4937046
For Emilia, I prefer her design in Season 1, but her new slightly tweaked design is also really good. One of the biggest differences I noticed between Sakai and Sagawa's character designs are that Sakai's put more emphasis on the outline and linework while Sagawa's feel a lot softer.
https://preview.redd.it/nx5loaus6g5d1.png?width=1658&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ec12a64f5079b1cddda9c1cb9e5776d4e49cc75
A bit of a negative. I mentioned a while ago how I wasn't always a fan of the color and art direction, this was one of those times. I think the Light Novel Pristella looks absolutely gorgeous. It feels warm and almost real in a way. The waters reflect the infrastructure just enough to not feel crystal, while still feeling like- beautiful water. The waves with the tiny shadows only add to everything. But the anime has this very thick sparkly light effect on the water (obviously reflecting the sun) which I think is a bit overboard in effects? There are many reasons they could've done this, I assume one being they wanted the scene to take place at noon rather than late afternoon or early morning (depending on which gate they entered from), so they gave it the shining effect.
Also, the novels takes a perspective way farther back than the anime making the city feel larger. The anime instead does a panning shot.
Those sly foxes in White Fox sneakily setting up places where battles will be fought.
I like this shot, but I'm not a fan of how damn shredded Garfiel is. I get that he's supposed to look like that, but damn! I think the 8pack is a bit much! Give him back his S2 6pack
S2 vs S3, he really trained hard during that 1 year, huh.
https://preview.redd.it/u53d1m759g5d1.png?width=1205&format=png&auto=webp&s=eeb198040c2e5d4cea793a330009e39cb5a3116d
https://preview.redd.it/45mh2ts69g5d1.png?width=1308&format=png&auto=webp&s=e5c713f140e8a846af4b9c376de9763cf348225a
Anastasia's redesign is really noticeable, I think she's cuter in Season 1 with the more circle eyes. Season 3 makes her look like a scary merchant... which I suppose she is. And again, we an see the shade of purple doesn't go as hard.
https://preview.redd.it/z7eah5xf9g5d1.png?width=1639&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f7266267da5ee61fd223a7a61e2f7d3a82e3b5d
One thing that I'm not the biggest fan of when it comes to Sagawa's designs are the curls? Characters with sharp hair now has some curls. In the case of someone like Felt who's usually feisty, I would've preferred if her hair was kept sharp. It's the same deal with Reinhard.
I prefer Season 1 here, I don't know why I feel Right Priscilla's bubbly.
Alright, the next post is supposed to be a video and since I can't post that here, I'll leave it for the next post. Till next time!

Anastasia's redesign is really noticeable, I think she's cuter in Season 1 with the more circle eyes. Season 3 makes her look like a scary merchant... which I suppose she is. And again, we an see the shade of purple doesn't go as hard.

One thing that I'm not the biggest fan of when it comes to Sagawa's designs are the curls? Characters with sharp hair now has some curls. In the case of someone like Felt who's usually feisty, I would've preferred if her hair was kept sharp. It's the same deal with Reinhard.
I prefer Season 1 here, I don't know why I feel Right Priscilla's bubbly.
Alright, the next post is supposed to be a video and since I can't post that here, I'll leave it for the next post. Till next time!

2024.06.09 05:41 Absurd_Turd69 The Sanzaban Circus: A New Area for Jigow!
A quick note: this has taken inspiration from various blogs, reddit posts, and other content. Also, it's designed for my expanded Festival of Merit, so the Main Event is intended to occur on the 3rd day (just before the final event at the Festival). This can be easily adjusted. Also, its designed to include some NPCs from previous sessions in my campaign, so I'd recommend doing the same (most can be easily swapped out).
The Arrival Some late-night workers say they heard strange sounds coming from outside town, and others say they started seeing weirdly dressed folk walking about the farmlands. Overnight, the eve prior to the Festival, a circus sprung up outside of town, and along with it came posters all over Jigow.
Alastar Sanzaban Alastar Sanzaban is a fully-winged human-born aasimar, where his left half is pure white, pupils, hair, skin, and all, and his right half, similarly black. He is the proprietor of the wandering Sanzaban Circus, and hires all kinds across Xhorhas for his establishment.
Gnomish Strongman This small gnome takes great pride in his powerful physique and styled facial hair, showing both off with pride and arrogance.
Brahd the "Vampire" This "vampire" is in fact an ordinary high elf who's using thaumaturgy to make his eyes red, and prosthetic teeth for fangs. The "mirrors" that don't show his reflection are in fact just painted pieces of wood, and he stands in a dark room, where it is nearly impossible to see his shadow.
Zoltar the Fortune Teller This robot invented by far-flung gnomes has a coin slot, where circus-goers can insert a single gold coin to have their fortune's told. When a player has their fortune read, roll 1d6. On a 1-5, they some something wildly inaccurate, but on a 6, they say something eerily accurate.
Flame & Blade The left head of this ettin (Blaine) breathes fire, while the right head (Tod) eats swords
The Haunted House Toward the edge of this circus, a creepy old mansion sits on a house. Inside, almost every piece of furniture or object has been wrapped in chains and thrashes with anger, as they are all in fact mimics. The tour is guided by a reborn orc named Raggok who is so rotted and zombified the mimics have no interest in him.
Owlbear Tamers Coming from the nearby Vermaloc Wildwood, the goblin twins Tim and Tam have managed to tame a scarred and brutish owlbear they now call Chompsky. They have Chompsky jump through flaming hoops, speak like a parrot, or even eat Tam (though Tim just feeds Chompsky some rotgrass to throw Tim back up).
The Dry Guys This trio of mephits (William, Thomas, and Boris) were picked up by the circus not long ago, and now they are pat of a stand-up routine. They have very dry humour.
Epoch the Magician This grey-skinned tiefling has his horns and body bedazzled with jewels, gold rings, and tattoos. He performs acts of slight of hand combined with minor illusions and other such magics to evoke wonder and awe from his audience.
Iliana the Ice Witch For the final event, the circus-goers are told to rug up, as the entire world around them turns ice-cold. A drow woman dressed in blue weaves a beautiful tale of romance, and drama through her manipulation of ice magic that brings the audience to tears.

2024.06.09 05:31 Engletroll Bug infestation
Administrator Haran sighed as he looked over the report, another space station lost to bugs. 576 trillion credits down the black hole because some idiot didn’t follow the proper quarantine rules. The station Kushtan had been a tremendous success for trade and now he had to call in the navy to blast the thing into spacedust. Well, at least they would like the target practice. He reluctantly called for his assistance, Qarl, who came into his office. “Yes Administrator! What can I help you with, and what’s so secret that I have… “He stopped talking as he saw Haran pour them two glasses of nusha. “That bad, eh?” Qarl sat down and took the glass. “What’s the occasion?” “Kushtan is lost to bugs. 576 trillion credits down the black hole. We have to inform the navy and tell them to destroy it utterly. “ “We can’t send in somebody to rescue it?” “Who would be stupid enough to enter a bug hive? We can’t even use droids. They are basically invisible to heat and energy readings, so you have to rely on movement, and their claws have venom that is corrosive to electronic. And with the amount that’s there, they would fry any droid sent in, and any bio droids would just end up as food and breeding pods for these bastards.” “What kind of bugs are we talking about? “Qarl sipped his drink as to contemplating and trying to figure out a solution that didn’t involve trillions of credits becoming target practice material. “It’s the jasatins. You know the centipede type, they are about 3 meters long and the claws have the sischan venom. My guess is that somebody was trying to import a few to milk them. “ “Are they the source of that venom? I didn’t know that. Well, jasatins are a real nasty bug. But they don’t destroy the lair, so in theory, we should be able to exterminate them.” “And again, who would be stupid enough to enter that bug hive?” Qarl grinned. “You know who.” “Humans? Come on. What can they do?” Qarl got up, went to a screen, logged into the public net, went to the ad section, and searched for bug extermination. Billions of agencies came up, mostly run by different species and all with a qualification about the size of bugs. Rarely were any above 20 centimeters. “Yeah, see, nobody deals with 3-meter-long ones.” Haran looked at the screen as Qarl added one more piece of information to the search parameter. ‘Large lethal bugs.’ Suddenly, the search was only a few million, all of them human. He then Ranked them for service rating. “Hmm Hick’s and Ripley extermination company.” Qarl skimmed through the text and gave Haran the main point.” Founded 500 years ago and has over a million successful jobs. Promise full success or money back as long as the information given before the job is accurate. Price is reasonable, 0.05 per cent of objects cleansed, 25% if intel is deliberately misguided. Will refund 50% if object needs to be destroyed. Using market value only. Is not responsible for small internal damage during bug extermination. They take care of the life insurance of their workers. That’s good. They do except tip. Costs extra if we want an observer during the crew. Hey! They also offer courses on how to avoid bug infestations in the future as well. Reasonable prices there as well.”
Haran leaned back in his chair, looking out the window at the waste space with a smirk. “God damn humans. That would be 288 billion credits. But a hell of a lot cheaper than building a new one. What are the others? Any cheaper?” Qark scanned the pages quickly “Yeah but for the job we want it seems even they recommend we go with Hick’s and Ripley. It looks like even the Twongars use them on a regular basis. With this amount of credits, we should go for the professionals.” “Give them a call, then. Hell, give them all the intel and hold nothing back. With some luck, it's too bad, and they have to blow it up for us. That way, we will recover at least half the loss.” “And if they clean it?” “Tip them a million credits per crazed idiot who ventures in and, hell, give a million for those who perish as well. If they are so good, then we put them on a retainer and order that course. It will save us lots of money. Remember last year?” Qarl shudders at the thought. Last year, they lost three stations to bugs, and the cost was several thousand trillion. The federation was not happy about it, but at least they had done everything by the book.
4 weeks later Haran looked at the human in front of him, he had expected a big brute of a man instead it was a well dress man with short curly brown hair in a suit. Though there was something about him that made him a little nervous. Humans were such strange creatures, they looked remarkably similar to his own species, the Nalos, but unlike them, humans didn’t have patterns, only one constant color. This one was slightly tanned, quite unlike his blue and red patterns, their eyes were strange as well, this one had brown eyes, not red like his and five fingers, it was the one thing that separated humans from most bipedal species, most who had four.
“Thank you, Mr. Ripley. I must say we are extremely pleased with the result. The Kushtan is already operational again. As promised, we have transferred the credits to your company and the tip for such a well-done job. I read the report. Let me say we are all saddened by the loss of Mr. Gong and Mr. Sanderson. Please extend our gratitude to their families. " Mr. Ripley nodded solemnly "We also discovered how the bugs came in; they were on their way to a military facility but mislabeled the actual cargo by the sender."
“What? I can ensure you we knew nothing about it.” Haran was getting nervous now, was this a scam to collect more money or worse somebody is deliberately spreading bug infestation. “We know, we actually found the manifest and checked the security recording. Its part of our service.” He handed him a memory storage unit.” Here is what we found and a list of similar incidents around the sector. We are suspecting a group called Yog-Uhulu but this sems to be a front for somebody else. I’m here to ask for permission to search for this group within the federation. I know Humanity just have observation status, but I have a feeling this is too important to not investigate, and my company are the experts in the field of the bug hunts.” Haran looked at Mr. Ripley. Did the human just volunteered to go after a terrorist group on behalf of the federation? That will give them full deniability if they cause trouble as they are an outsider.
“I will make some calls, but you might have to accept observers, perhaps a few investigators as well. There will be politics involved but I think I can make that happen.” Mr. Ripley smiled but it was a scary smile, like he was looking forward to this hunt. Haran was glad this human was on his side.
( A few edits and the missing ending. Will be a trilogy next part in a few days time)

Humans were such strange creatures, they looked remarkably similar to his own species, the Nalos, but unlike them, humans didn’t have patterns, only one constant color. This one was slightly tanned, quite unlike his blue and red patterns, their eyes were strange as well, this one had brown eyes, not red like his and five fingers, it was the one thing that separated humans from most bipedal species, most who had four.
“Thank you, Mr. Ripley. I must say we are extremely pleased with the result. The Kushtan is already operational again. As promised, we have transferred the credits to your company and the tip for such a well-done job. I read the report. Let me say we are all saddened by the loss of Mr. Gong and Mr. Sanderson. Please extend our gratitude to their families. " Mr. Ripley nodded solemnly "We also discovered how the bugs came in; they were on their way to a military facility but mislabeled the actual cargo by the sender."
“What? I can ensure you we knew nothing about it.” Haran was getting nervous now, was this a scam to collect more money or worse somebody is deliberately spreading bug infestation. “We know, we actually found the manifest and checked the security recording. Its part of our service.” He handed him a memory storage unit.” Here is what we found and a list of similar incidents around the sector. We are suspecting a group called Yog-Uhulu but this sems to be a front for somebody else. I’m here to ask for permission to search for this group within the federation. I know Humanity just have observation status, but I have a feeling this is too important to not investigate, and my company are the experts in the field of the bug hunts.” Haran looked at Mr. Ripley. Did the human just volunteered to go after a terrorist group on behalf of the federation? That will give them full deniability if they cause trouble as they are an outsider.
“I will make some calls, but you might have to accept observers, perhaps a few investigators as well. There will be politics involved but I think I can make that happen.” Mr. Ripley smiled but it was a scary smile, like he was looking forward to this hunt. Haran was glad this human was on his side.

2024.06.09 05:25 ImprovementNatural64 i was 10 years old scared and desperate for a distraction
I'm 27 now, recently dumped by someone I still would give my life for, even though she ghosted me.
As a child, I had massive paranoia, especially when both my parents had to work, leaving me alone at home with nothing but the internet to distract me. Around 2006-2007, I was in a new town without neighborhood friends or any outlet for my frustrations. I spent hours on ArmorGames, Newgrounds, or chronically on YouTube, consuming the lowest forms of humor to pass the time (just as I still do today). I felt guilty calling my mother every time I heard a creak or the air conditioner kicking on. I lived in a constant state of fear and panic, which was not normal for a child. The television was always blaring some loud, obnoxious show like Drake and Josh or SpongeBob to distract me from the loneliness in a house that felt like it had too many windows.
The Newgrounds Mature section was the dopamine rush I needed when I had nothing else. It felt comforting. The adrenaline rush was exciting, and I’ve been chasing that initial high for 17 years now. Seventeen years of failed relationships, missed connections, overbearing communication, lack of self-confidence, unachieved potential, depression, ignoring my parents' divorce, and avoiding accountability for my actions and shame. I completely and utterly shut away anything I couldn't handle with things that induced an adrenaline rush.
I recently used the Wayback Machine to retrace my steps. I remember the girl with the purple hair blowing kisses at the "Are you over 18?" option menu, the list of games, the exact game I would rush home to play to escape a bad day. I was my own worst enemy, constantly blaming everyone around me for my bad behavior. I kept going back to strip quiz games so often that I became an expert in geography, surpassing my classmates because I knew where obscure African countries were due to my addiction to pornography at 11.
Reflecting now, seeing my cousin play a dating sim with my sister probably imprinted on me more than I realized, even though it was just MS Paint-level art. I recognize this behavior in my nephews. I see how they can't look at themselves in the mirror, their frustrations, their traumas, and how they use Roblox to escape reality just as I did at their age. I was so proud to show them my hats from logging in back in 2008, not realizing how alone I felt at that moment. Now, as an adult, I can recognize how alone that child was.
The internet has poisoned a generation of men, telling them it's okay to escape using social media or pornography. Brothers, it's not okay. You should be able to sit in silence with your thoughts without feeling guilt. I blamed my inability to do this on everything but my own guilt and shame.
At 27, I realize I haven't progressed since that day. I've constantly fallen back on pornography and the internet to self-soothe, to find excuses, to escape, to avoid confronting reality, to pretend I'm okay when I'm not. This behavior hurt the one person I loved unconditionally because it became conditional. I only loved her when i could watch porn or find a way to use porn when she wasn't around, if i keep at this it was going to keep escalating until i don't have a way to control it anymore.
I had such deep love for this person. I would have protected her from anything, faced any adversity for her, and protected her at all costs. What hurt her was the 10-year-old me who was scared of reality, who never aged and was too scared to explore the neighborhood or take a sports seriously. The same 10-year-old who felt the world was constantly judging him for having a homosexual father and a confusing family dynamic. The one who questioned his sexuality at a young age because he thought it was hereditary.
please heal your inner child guys, you're abusing shit because you don't want to face reality and take on discipline.
