You guys are all hating on it but I don't get why.
Firstly the price tag by itself. It's like 500$ which is a lot. A lot might even be an understatement for a few pixels. Though that's not a bad thing in my opinion. Yes it feels unreasonably priced to the average player. I doubt that riot wants the average league player to buy this skin.
This skin is meant for people who enjoy that exclusivity of collecting stuff. It's like a really expensive Lego set. Or a really expensive car.
Sure I can buy star guardian Ahri and look cool for 20$ or get that skin from a chest. But over time most people will acquire 'rare' skins. Free chests and all make it a matter of time to collect cool skins.
Even mythic skins aren't exclusive really. Sure you might not have them all but most people have some.
This is a skin only a small percentage of the player base will have. It will be actually rare to see.
People are saying that this is against the point of the hall of champions or whatever it's called because you won't see the skin often and it immortalizes him less or whatever.
But if I can go into league right now and buy that skin for 50€ it's nothing special. A lot of people are willing to spend that kind of money.
Back in the day when mythics we're still obtainable through gemstones you didn't see those skins often I'd say. Sure you'd see them from time to time but especially the first few times it was something special.
Nowadays I see a prestige skin almost every game.
There are few special skins in the game. Everytime you see the skin you'll be like damn that idiot really spend 500€ on that thing. Or you'll be like cool. Whatever your reaction is you will be noticing it.
I think it's cool to have something like that in the game. The pricetag is high and for the "scarcity" to be a thing it needs to be this high. If you think it should be priced lower because everyone should be able to afford it well damn you're just not the target group.
Just for clarification: I won't buy the skin I am broke so I couldn't if I wanted I do main master Yi Yes the 50€ one is stupid
TL;DR
Creating scarcity with stupid prices isn't meant to make the wide audience buy the skin and that's fine. Sometimes we have to accept that we are poor.

Sorry! Y'all are probably sick of me. FF12's just been a bit of a hyperfixation for me recently, so my job combinations have been something I have been overthinking a lot. This is my last revision, I promise. Anyway, the final revision is as follows:

• Vaan - Knight/Bushi (Belias, Hashmal, Exodus, Mateus) (50, 75, 125)
• Balthier - Shikari/Time Battlemage (Adrammelech, Zalera) (50, 75, 100 - 75, 100, 125 after obtaining Yagyu/Mesa)
• Fran - Red Battlemage/Archer (Zeromus, Shemhazai, Cuchulainn) (50, 75, 125)
• Basch - Monk/Foebreaker (Ultima, Zodiark) (50, 75, 125)
• Ashe - Black Mage/Machinist (Famfrit) (50, 75, 125)
• Penelo - White Mage/Uhlan (Chaos) (50, 75, 100)

First, let me acknowledge that, yes, I know I don't have to use every single job. However, I find it pretty satisfying to do so, and more interesting as it makes me think about what I am pairing up more.
Vaan is going Knight/Bushi, which is an obvious combo. Amazing dps character throughout the game, and probably the most consistently loved combination in this sub. I feel like I don't need to say more than that as far as the combo itself goes (you all know about White Robes + Excalibur). Espers grant great supportive magic and HP boosts. Belias is kind of a nothing esper, so it's just there for the early game potion boost. Quickenings chosen based on efficiency and unlocks to maximise HP. Basch used to be this combo, but in future playthroughs, this'll be Vaan's role, solely because he has slightly better magic than Basch, and can therefore take advantage of his magic and katanas just a tad bit more.
Balthier is going Shikari/Time Battlemage. Yeah, yeah, I know. "What about Black Robes Yagyu?" I've had this discussion a fair bit the last couple of days, and u/SpawnSC2 brought up some great points:

• Black Robes ONLY boosts Yagyu.
• Heavy armour boosts all of the ninja swords.
• A lot of endgame enemies absorb dark damage.

The other thing here is that, as I already said, I like rolling with all 12 jobs in play as a preferred play style. Is it optimal? Probably not, but it is fun for me. Given this, I already have preferable placements for all of the mystic armour users, so Shikari and Time Battlemage are basically what I had left after pairing everything else up. It's not like it can't still get the job done though, and it does mean I get Hastega long before getting Famfrit. Espers grant Ether Lore, Raise and more HP. Quickenings are based solely on the noted ninja sword placements.
Fran is going Red Battlemage/Archer. This one has been in a bit of contention in my discussions, because some of you love this combo, and some of you think it is overrated. And yes, I know she's the slowest bow user, but she's going to be primarily casting. Fran starts off with the tier 1 spells for white and black magic. This means she is capable of casting from the get go as a Red Battlemage, whilst using maces and shields if necessary. Later on, when she gets access, she can boost fire damage with Burning Bow, and dark damage with Black Robes. Archer allows her to basically be a chemist, getting all the lores to maximise the potential of remedies, and with a Pheasant Netsuke, her Phoenix Downs become Arise Motes. Espers get some extra spells, including black magic -aga spells, and quickenings are cost effective and gain +435 HP, allowing Archer to also nab +390 HP.
Basch is a Monk/Foebreaker. Does this not suit his tier 2 quickening perfectly? Yeah, I've gone back to this combo. Tanky Black Mage wasn't worth dropping Kanya + Genji Gloves. Again, this is another combo where you guys all know what it does. It applies breaks, it does tons of damage, and late game, it can provide some semblance of support thanks to Bravery and Renew. Espers get the magic and Swiftness boosts, and quickenings get some magic and a Phoenix Lore.
Ashe is doing a combo I don't see many people mention, but it is probably a thing. Black Mage/Machinist seems to be pretty good from what I can see. Black Mage nukes as usual and has the staves to boost elemental weaknesses against stronger enemies, and now has guns has a reliable source of stat ignoring damage if magic is locked. Guns also allow Black Mage to cover missing elements via ammo that shoot earth, water and dark damage. Black Robes with dark elemental bullets has its uses. Famfrit is obviously needed for the secondary time magic user, and the quickenings gain more HP.
To finish up, Penelo is a White Mage/Uhlan. Again, another combo I don't need to overly explain. White Robes + Holy Lance, yadda yadda yadda. Penelo gets Chaos for Aeroga (making her the only other consistent wind damage user other than Ashe), and her quickenings give her some tier 2 black magic, which can be useful earlier in the game. The quickenings also grant a Battle Lore and some more HP.
And with that, I think I am finally happy with my squad. Would love to know what you guys think (although I already know some of you do not like Shikari/Time Battlemage, despite my reasoning).

Yes I know I made a lot of posts. But whatever. I'm losing hope. I keep groaning all day. I think I'm very heartbroken 💔. I keep asking God to shine His light on me, barely any Light comes on me. I think I ruined it all by listening to a lot of false prophets in the past. They promised me Life and good things. And nothing is happening. You wanna say it's 50/50? But I'm trying. So what's your point? So now I have medicinal drugs and wine I can pour into my vile body. My life just sucks so much that I think I will still brood over it, even if God floods me with Light, and I became much better, so idk. I take medication for my disorders. But I'm still suffering. I know I'm suffering because of my sins. But I've sought repentance so much. What you gonna call me Esau? I'm sick of living like this. I just need God to have true mercy on me. Stop telling me that all I need to do is read more of the Bible. I read and barely anything happens! What power is in it?? I can't say anything really in Truth. I can't say my soul pants for the living God as a deer pants for water. I can't say that I'm waiting on the LORD. I don't really know. All I know is that I'm very lost. I'm tired of living, why? Because I'm not living. I'm existing in a state of dying. So why should I not die then? I've sought deliverance only to be disappointed. I've sought exorcism only to be disappointed again. I can't leave this earth tho. It's sad. I have a family and a dog. But I don't want to live like this anymore.. I don't know what the future holds. I don't know which way to go. I'm living in darkness. Why would Jesus leave even His red letter words but make it so hard to actually find Him? I don't get it.

I’ve posted the last couple days about the pregnancy. We’ve been together 3 years…officially maybe one year. We broke up a few months ago for a month and then got back together and recently trying to make things better. I ended up getting pregnant. When I told him I made him a cute box announcement and he was sooo happy saying how he was praying to God for this. Despite both us wanting a baby, literally talking about it all the time, he has changed his mind now that it’s happened and wants an abortion. I’m just shocked and hurt because he’d always make comments like I can’t believe you not pregnant yet or if you were pregnant you’d definitely be living with me etc. we were just talking about baby names a couple weeks ago. I honestly didn’t think he’d want an abortion…I thought he’d be like let’s do this together and move in (next step pregnant or not) but no. He says he wants to be with me and loves me but still unsure because of how we broke up recently. He wants to live together first and get engaged before bringing a baby in and doesn’t want baby to be in a broken home again. He also mentioned he feels trapped now and obligated and doesn’t want to just be with me cause I’m preggo. I’m like huh?? So hurt. I understand and want all that too but I got pregnant…it’s never gonna be the right time. And I wouldn’t go so far as to think to have an abortion. I’m so turned off by his reaction. And I see him as a coward now and feel like I’ve lost respect for him. I too can see the practicality of having a baby right now, and didn’t even think of an abortion. I love this man and see him in my future so that’s why I was so willing to have it. I was not trying to “trap him”. It’s been 3 years. But now I’m so doubtful…and hurt that he’s that unsure about me, feels “obligated”, and doesn’t seem like he sees a future with me like I thought? Or no faith and hope for us? On top of that so heartless about the abortion, he was like I’ll pay for everything and right away gave me his card no hesitation. He’s being so distant too not even asking how I am and barely texting me. I’m sticking to the logical thing and going to go ahead with the abortion because what I thought was stable and safe is not actually so I’m taken aback. I don’t want to have that drama in my life.
I just want to get it over with and try to move on. I don’t want to be with someone who isn’t sure about me…after 3 years. We’re not that young too. I’m attractive, I have a good career as a nurse, and a lot to offer in a relationship and I just don’t think he values me. If he wanted to he would right?!
Anyway, I’m heartbroken and the pregnancy hormones don’t help. How do I move on? How do I find the strength? To love myself more.

1. Lakers have not been making Lebrons wishes materialize (ie Kyrie about to win a title in Dallas)
   
2. Suns only other organization other than Lakers with 2 All-Pros and everyone knows Lebrons chances of winning a city it’s first ever title for the SECOND time are astronomically higher if he teams up with KD/Book/Beal > AD.
   
3. Suns have the developmental league team to actually develop Bronny close to home.
   
4. (ref 2) - Lebron & Bronny could be the first ever father and son champions in PHX when PHX/IShbia are hungry enough to waste a first rounder on a projected pick 55 on Bronny just to land LeBron
   
5. KD and Bron’s friendship, Bron’s respect for Booker
   
6. PHX is as close to home as it gets. no family relocation, similar to CP3
   
7. Bron’s business in Las Vegas is just as close to PHX as it is LA
   
8. Bron has a knack for turning the basketball world on its head via teaming up with all-pro talent at all costs
   
9. Suns will force the Lakers hand into acting naive and stubborn to save him via FA. Basically, Lakers would have to get desperate and fall into 2nd apron tax AND draft Bronny 1st round just to keep him.
   
10. Delivering the 1st ever nba title to phoenix alongside his son sounds soooo much better than taking another long shot at the chip in LA as Lakers simply wont be able to say… play for us and you get KD:Book:Beal:Bronny.
    

Honestly, I say it’s 50/50 when it comes to lebron in a lakers or suns jersey next season.

Hello! In advance I apologize for any grammar mistakes. I just need someone to talk to.
23F I just broke off my engagement to my fiancée 33M. We have been together for 6 years . Outside of all adult responsibilities . This man was my “Best friend”. Same music taste, Similar Interests. Same humor. Loves to travel, never had to force a conversation. etc just naming a few. From the start of our relationship I met him 3 weeks fresh our of high school. He was in a very tough spot. My Fiancée at the time didn’t have a car so 4 months into the relationship and I spent all my graduation money + savings on surprising him with a new car. Within that same year he cheated. (I forgave him but made him delete all social media and I do check his phone regularly.) Through out the first two years of our relationship I got his credit fixed, his debt paid off and got him on a straight path including getting his record straightened out( by this time I’m 19 going on 20) I thought that would absolutely show him how dedicated I was to him and our future. Show him How he didn’t have to struggle alone. Yes I was a young teenager but Ive been working since I was 15. I had my own money why not help someone in need?? Fast forward multiple years of this relationship. I handle all house hold responsibilities along with both of our taxes, Bills and car maintenance etc all adult responsibilities you can think of I handle. He would tell me how appreciative he was and how he couldn’t imagine life without me etc. I felt like he valued me . Through this relationship he’s cheated 3 times. I forgave him everytime. ( now looking back I believed I wouldn’t have ever found better so I took him back so I wouldn’t mess up my chance at finally having a husband). (Over these last 2 years i’m just now getting my confidence and realizing I am actually k good looking I think). I showed up alot for this man and made alot of serious life sacrifices to help him. he’s never showed up for me without me having to beg multiple times . Last week I simply asked him “Why do you never get my flowers or write me back love letters?” He knows how much I love the idea and thought of love letters. He loves it too. I wake up early every morning before he goes to work. I pack his lunch box and write a love letter EVERY morning. (not exaggerating) he has duffle bag he keeps filled with all my love notes to him.
His response to my Question: I know you’ve asked me for them before but to be honest i’m just not there in our relationship yet to be getting you flowers”
Me: “What do you mean you aren’t there yet??”
His response: “You want all these extravagant things but I’m not there yet emotionally to give that to you. You need to be patient with me, You’ll get that from me down the line”
That hurt me a lot. So I asked him how could he say that after all the stuff Ive bring to the table? All the things I do to make sure his life is easier for solely just him. I don’t deserve flowers from you yet??
He just responded saying how it may not be fair to me but that’s just where he is at. I asked him how can you say you aren’t emontionally there to get me flowers but you made the decision to purpose to me in front of your whole family. (Literally just his whole family, when I asked where was mine he said he totally forgot to think about any of them… He didn’t even ask my dad for his blessings)…. Selfish!
His response:” Because I love you so much. I have no doubt you’d be an amazing wife, my mom loves you, my family adores you. I know if I have kids with you our kids will be loved and raised right. You’re always there for me so I know you’ll always be there for my family and our future kids. You act like such a great wife already. “
In that moment I told him I couldn’t do it anymore and that I was done. He was so confused. He asked why. And how he can change and If I really wanted flowers that bad to just “text me on the days you want them and I’ll go pick it up it’s that easy” “You want to leave me over Flowers?”.
I want the love I give to be reciprocated. I want to have peace of mind knowing if something goes wrong in life I have my future husband to fall back on or even simply just call. I want to be given flowers without asking. I want love letters. I want date nights. I want to be a more feminine woman and not be the one taking both of our cars to mechanics for Oil changes, alignments, Tune Ups etc. I want all the years love and sacrifice I put into this relationship to have meant something. I feel used I feel like I was completely used and taken for granted. I thought being with an Older man would come with stability and a man that can lead and teach me, someone I can learn from. That was the sole reason I stayed I thought once I was able to get him out of his rut he would be able to be the man he talked so much about being but 6 years later. He hasn’t progressed at all. He looks to me the person 10 years younger than him to get things done with shame or any inkling in his body to help make anything easier for me. I can’t do this anymore, I’m not happy .I want to live life like a 23 year old should. I’ve never been to the club. I’ve never had a girls night. I’ve never even sat at the bar before. I never lived solely just for myself. I never done alot of the normal things a regular early women in her 20’s would have experienced. I sacrificed alot for him and it all was for nothing. I’m so hurt and angry. It’s been 3 weeks no contact. But just yesterday a friend of mine sent me a video of him spotted with his best friends blowing money (that he owes me) at a strip club. I’m trying to just let go and let God but I’m so angry. I robbed myself out of so much young experiences I should’ve had by now.
How do I force myself to Unlove someone I genuinely cared about so much?
TL;DR: Asked Fiancé of 6 year for Flowers and a Love letter . Got denied. Told me he’s not emotionally “there yet” to get me flowers… but was able to purpose to me??

(This is quite long, I apologize!)
Hi everybody! I was wondering if anybody would be willing to provide some advice. My boyfriend (27, autistic, VERY suspecting of PDA) and I (27, ADHD) have been together for five years now.
For some back story, we have had a lot of up and downs in our relationship. We started dating at a time that I was in a really bad place mentally. I had just gotten done with IOP for a traumatic and violent experience, was unable to work due to PTSD, etc. I was abusing a combo of drugs and alcohol and was just not good at all. Now on the other hand, my boyfriend was working, he was very social at the time, and was seemingly doing as okay as I guess he believes he could be.
Fast forward to this past September, we were both working at the same place at a job that we enjoyed. We moved into a lovely apartment to be closer to work, but both got laid off three weeks after moving (which was absolutely horrible). A month after that, I got into a car accident in his car that he worked hard for, and we weren’t able to afford to fix it, so we had to sell it to his best friend. I felt (and still feel) awful about this. It honestly absolutely killed him. I started working with one of my old companies again because, obviously, we needed work in order to pay for this apartment that we have now. From then until now, I have been working two jobs and working very hard. My boyfriend had a new job for about two months, but wasn’t able to handle it. It was about at this point that he started becoming really irritable, depressed, angry, and confrontational.
Now, it has been about five months now since he has been able to hold down a job, and from what he has described, and from testimonies I have heard from others, it sounds exactly like PDA. He has a hard time explaining to me exactly how he feels regarding having a regular job, but when I introduced him to PDA and what it was, he felt like he really related.
At first, I was hopeful that after a month or so without work, he would feel ready to go back. Now that it has been five months, it doesn’t look like he can do it. I ABSOLUTELY understand how it feels to not be able to work due to mental health (as stated before), so I try really hard to understand and not to get angry or frustrated with our situation, but I don’t make enough money to support the both of us and the stress is really getting to me. I often feel depressed or sick because I don’t know how to move forward. We are working on disability for him, and making appointments for phone calls with lawyers, but I don’t know what to do in the meantime. We have fought a lot in the last couple of months, and he can get very very mean and nasty to me. It is so hard for us to handle this situation. Our fights are getting worse and worse as is our mental health.
I guess I have a couple of questions. What do you think is the best way to treat this situation? What sensitive ways do you think I can try to encourage him without making him feel like he is being pushed? I want to avoid confrontation, but he is so easy to feel like I am being patronizing or pushy, and he ends up starting a fight and hurting my feelings too. I just want to know the best possible way to go through the motions without causing any more fights or harm to our relationship. And if ANYBODY has any tips on ways for him to make passive income without working a typical job, I would be so grateful.

Memory Transcript: Kinet, Venlil Surveyor Captain [Standardized Human Time July 5th, 2114]:
We had arrived in-system [four days] ago, and while I was expecting to see a world ravaged by nuclear exchange, the damage to the planet was beyond what I could have ever imagined. The surface was scorched, and the air filled with ash and soot from massive continent spanning fires that must have been burning for cycles. Despite all the destruction, our scans showed some signs of life trying to take hold on the surface, but not nearly as much as there should have been.
The humans had wiped themselves out over [150 years ] in the past; it shouldn’t look like it only happened only a herd of claws ago.
Fiir was of no use. When the first glimpses of the planet came in on the viewscreen, the scruffy researcher just stared with his jaw hanging loose before stammering about something being wrong. He stormed off to his quarters, and I haven’t seen him since then.
I sighed and walked onto the bridge with my waking claw cup of tea but was immediately assaulted by the chittering of an excited sivkit, our primary communications officer.
“Captain, captain, captain!”
“Hephy, yes, I’m right here. What is it?” I looked down towards her. She barely came up to my waist in her typical quadrupedal stance, and even doing her best to stand up, she wouldn’t be able to look me in the eye. Despite her stature, her excitement demanded attention as her eyes flicked between myself and whatever data she had scrolling across her display visor.
“Right Right. Anyway, Captain, I have to show you something, it’s big.” Most people don’t pay sivkits much mind, but Hephy was a prodigy. The excitable woman could look at a waterfall plot and pick out every signal present, and even read some of them without any computer assistance. I motioned for her to follow me to the ready room and started off toward it while sipping my tea. She trotted behind me on all fours, as sivkits are wont to do, and when I sat in my chair, she hopped side to side in excitement. “The signals, when we arrived from the jump, I saw something fascinating!” “Hephy, stop bouncing and sit.” I gestured to the chair in front of my desk. She looked at me for a moment as if I had grown a set of ears at the end of my snout. After a moment, her trance broke, and she hopped into the chair. She sat on her haunches and pulled out her tablet.
“Ok so, when we jumped in, we got a ping of the area, right? Send a signal out, listen for the reply, and we see what’s out there that our eyes can’t. Standard stuff, sure, but look.” She tapped at her tablet and expanded a multidimensional spectrum plot. “The bright spots are reports, and it’s all around. Debris right? That’s what I thought but look closer!” I leaned in and looked at the impressionistic splotches of color shown on the holographic display. The blues, yellows, and oranges spattered amongst the dark gray and black of night and other known objects was appealing to the eye, but ultimately gave me little idea what Hephy was trying to communicate with me. She must have picked up on my lack of insight, because she sighed and tapped the display again. “Normally, you see the pulse pattern return and that’s pretty distinct, but this is different. Odd. I thought it was just micro-debris but if you spread it out over time there’s a pattern to it, a structure in the phase relationships that doesn’t match reflections or our interrogation pulses.” “Hephy, you know I rarely ever understand you at this level.” “Right sorry right. Captain, this isn’t the return pulse, they’re data transmissions. Multiple data transmissions all at once.”
My ears perked up, and I tilted my head to the side a bit. “How can you be sure? What would even be out there to send them?”
“I wasn’t sure myself until I looked later on in the data buffers. Almost a claw later there was another longer burst. The automated systems ignored it due to interpreting it as just more micro-debris, but it had that structure-but-not-structure, perfectly shaped noise. I also had nav and sensors run another few active pings at different frequencies, trying to rule out silly patterns seeking brain nonsense. Nothing returned. The debris cloud doesn’t exist!”
“So what does this mean for us?”
“I don’t know, but it's fascinating! They must be satellites of some kind, either too small to reflect much or made to absorb radio waves.”
“That’s worrisome. There’s only one reason you’d build something like that.”
“Weaponry?” She chirped with surprising insight I had not expected to come from her. She had never been in the space force like I, and many others, had.
“Defense platforms, yes.” I took a sip of my rapidly cooling tea to try and soothe the anxious pit growing in my stomach.
“That’s…concerning.” Her excitement waned for a moment but quickly slipped back.
“Very, thank you for bringing this to my attention, Hephy.”
“As if I could keep quiet about something like this!” She snorted with a chittering laugh. “Oh! Wait there’s one more thing. There was another signal in a higher band that sounded off around the same time as the other burst, this time from a different orbit, way further out. I traced it to an artificial satellite.”
Suddenly, a thought hit me. These things were actively communicating with something. Was there something still left on the surface?
“Hephy, do you know where those signals were going?”
“Normally the antenna is too directional for anyone but the recipient to see it or it’s hard to get a read on directionality, but I know where everything is communicating to. The middle of the smaller main ocean.”
“Hephy, that’s an incredibly important bit of information!”
“It is? Oh yeah right, that makes sense!” She wiggles her tail in an amused flicking motion.
I stood up and patted her on the shoulder. “Get us close to that artificial satellite and see what it is. I’d like to get a better idea of what we’ve just stumbled into. Report back when you have some answers and we will go from there.”
Hephy bobbed her ears and hopped off the seat. “On it, sir. Where are you going?” “I’m going to talk to Fiir. This is beyond the original mission, and he needs to know.” “Ay captain. Good luck. Guy’s a weirdo.” I simply grunted and strolled down to the auxiliary quarters where I knew the researcher to be.
>Advance record: [10 Minutes]:
Fiir had brought an entire team of researchers with him. I was told they’re all colleagues of his from the research academy that are interested in this personal project of his. This many people on board with his project did explain how he was able to offer the exorbitant sum of credits to hire me and my crew. They had been allocated a section of the ship near the front, just past the shuttle bay and under the bridge area. This let them have their privacy and set up whatever gear they brought with them.
It also meant that there was a door between them and the rest of the ship. A door that they did not hesitate to keep closed after pre-launch inspections had concluded. The researchers didn’t have anything I didn’t expect from the manifest, but I still found it rather suspicious. Were they hiding something? Perhaps it had to do with that odd power hungry computer they insisted upon. Mara had her ears tied in a knot trying to accommodate it, and still they were coy about why exactly they needed it. It didn’t do me any good to speculate, though. What mattered most was the problem of the satellites.
I finally reached the door and, being the polite man I am, I scratched at the sounding plate before grabbing the handle and trying to open it. To my surprise, it didn’t budge. I could understand locking doors to the personal quarters, but this was a main corridor in my own ship! Just as I reached over to key in the unlock code, the door made a thunk as the latch disengaged and slid open part of the way. A familiar gray fringed brown muzzle stuck out from the gap. “This is a restrict- Oh. Captain.” Fiir opened the door a little more and stood up facing me. “What is it?”
I blinked at his rather blunt question. “I just came to inform you that we’ve discovered some worrying details about the nature of the-” “The artificial satellites are not of any concern to us.” He cut me off before I could finish.
“We think they might be-”
He glanced back behind the door for a moment, his tail thrashed in agitation. “It doesn’t matter. Have you prepared the landing party yet?” My jaw tightened as my frustration with his rudeness grew. I couldn’t get much of a word in, but I needed any answers. “They’re set to depart in two claws, but with those unknown satellites, I can’t be sure of their safety! I saw you on the bridge when we arrived, you were expecting something different. As the captain of this ship, I need to know if there’s a threat to-”
“Captain.” Fiir’s gaze grew intense as he leaned in. I may have had almost a head of height on the wizened farsul, but in that moment, he felt as if he was towering over me. “I suggest you stick to the responsibilities I hired you for, Captain Kinet. There are things that you are not privy to, nor will you be made privy to in the foreseeable future. Continue with the survey as per our agreement, and you’ll get your credits. Do not bother me until the away team is en route. Good paw, Captain.” He closed and locked the door without even waiting for my response.
I just stood at the door for a long while, a feeling of anger and indignation boiling in my chest. I had only ever had cordial contact with the researcher up until now; this abrupt shift in his demeanor was unsettling, to say the least. How dare he talk down to me like that on my own ship! I sighed and took a deep breath, holding it for a moment before letting it out. Slow and controlled. Letting the tension and anger flow out with my breath.
Inhale. Hold. Release.
Inhale. Hold. Release.
After a few cycles, the burning anger was reduced to a smoldering cinder. As much as I had wanted to headbutt Fiir, it wasn’t worth risking the contract for. I turned and walked back to the bridge to prepare for the away mission. Without Fiir’s info, I needed to make sure contingencies were in place for any possible threat to the away team. The lives of my crew are paramount, even if the contract was very, very lucrative. All that aside, the planning would keep my mind away from thoughts of my rude client.
>Advance record: [Standardized Human Time July 6th, 2114]:
I woke up after my rest paw feeling groggy and unrested. The confrontation with Fiir kept playing in my mind all night, despite the claws of planning for the away mission. To say his standoffish behavior left knots in my wool would be an understatement. I wiped my snout with my paws, flicking the crust from my eyes before getting up out of bed.
I grabbed my favorite mug and fixed myself my morning cup of tea. Pulling the dried leaves and stems from the canister, I could feel my mouth water in anticipation. I had been told by many who possessed the strange appendage called a nose that the tea leaves had a strong earthy and floral scent. I often wondered what that meant. Venlil didn’t have noses, but we did have a sense of taste, which is apparently quite similar. I often wondered what it might be like to smell. Do we really miss out on so much without being able to smell?
We had to soak our foods and tea in water before we could taste it with our tongues, and even then, it’s not nearly as sensitive, which is probably why other species consider venlil cuisine to be overseasoned and overpowering.
Another reason why the stereotype of venlil being weak is nonsense, in my opinion. How strong can you be if you can’t handle a little spice?
The timer went off, chirping to tell me my tea was ready. I sifted out the leaves and brought the invigorating elixir to my lips. The hot fluid warmed me to my core and burned away the waking lyasi silk from my groggy mind.
I needed to catch up with Hephy and Mara; they should have brought in that satellite-
My thoughts were interrupted by the chiming of my pad. I picked it up and answered the call to see Hephy’s face almost filling the screen, with Mara looking over her shoulder.
“Oh good you’re awake! Captain, you must see this! It’s amazing! The satellite, it’s full of brains!”

Been a hot minute, I hadn't forgotten about this. As always, comments are coveted and appreciated. What do you all think about Fiir's behavior? What do y'all think of Hephy?

Good Evening,
I'd like to start off by mentioning that I am a 17 year old man, white, 190cm in height - 6"2' almost 6"3', weighing around 60 kg - 120 pounds. I currently live in Europe, precisely - Poland. I do not drink or smoke, no medication outside of the pills that I got prescribed by the doctor who I have visited about this issue.
The root of this issue:
On Wednesday - 22nd of May, I was playing pick up basketball with a couple of friends. This activity was all fun and games until I jumped for a rebound, trying to get the ball for my team from the air, which resulted in me falling on the wrong side of my foot. I would also like to mention that I have rolled my ankle twice before, which was never this severe. 30 minutes after the injury, my mom took me to the ER. I did an x-ray and the doctor told me to not put any pressure or weight on the foot (no walking), and wearing a Walker Boot. I was also prescribed Neoparin - 10 anticoagulant injections, taken daily. We were told that we should schedule another visit 2 days after, once the swelling had shrunk. On the second visit, the doctor examined my foot and determined that the injury is a grade 2 ankle sprain. I was prescribed 2 weeks of no pressure along with still wearing the walker boot, keep doing the injections, along with 2 new medicine - Cyclo3Fort and Reparil. I was also instructed to use the RICE method - Rest Ice Compress Elevate, keeping my foot above my butt, icing my foot every 2 hours for 15 minutes and treating the walker boot like a cast, only taking it off when I shower.
After the first visit in the ER, I took the advice lightly - I wore the walker boot for a long time during the day but I didn't really pay attention to how long my foot was supposed to be in it. I kept my foot elevated for most of the day but I also did not really care that much about it. I didn't ice my foot at all because I found research that icing actually makes the healing process longer.
After the second visit, I really listened to the words of the doctor. I am keeping my foot elevated 95% of the day, I ice every 2-3 hours for 15 minutes. I have my walker boot on also 95% of the day. I also take all of the medicine as im supposed to.
What really worries me is that since I have been doing what my doctor told me to (2 days ago), I get this excruciating pain in my foot and my leg whenever I don't keep my foot elevated. This made showering impossible, going to the toilet and relieving myself really hard - also met with excruciating pain (7/10 on a pain scale) - it honestly feels like if I was getting constantly bitten by a dog. Daily activities like making my breakfast - even simple cereal with milk, are insanely hard to do, with my foot constantly hurting when it's not elevated.
The plus of this is that the swelling that was HUGE, is now moderate. Compared to day 1 it is 80% gone, and even comparing to yesterday - it got better.
I was instructed to keep doing this for 2 weeks - until the time of my next checkup. Surviving like this, until then and even going there seems IMPOSSIBLE.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review and help me with this issue. I also want to say sorry for any bad instances of my use of the english language.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Hey gang, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a ‘22 GT Premium with the ford active exhaust I purchased brand new last year with about 17k miles on it now. I don’t know how to exactly describe the problem I feel like I’m having so bear with me while I try to explain lol.
I absolutely love this car and dreamt of having one since being a kid so I hate that it’s not in my opinion running at 100%.
For months the car was running like a dream, super smooth and absolutely great. However at some point within the first year and a half of owning it I started having a jerking issue when accelerating, especially in stop and go traffic. It was not major but definitely noticeable. I took the car to the dealer and they were able to confirm this and fixed it. To my understanding they did a software update to the drive terrain system and also reset or updated the adaptive drive cycle. The vehicle was also inspected and there were no codes whatsoever and no sign of any mechanical or parts issues.
The issue I feel like I’m having now is in regard to acceleration. When using the vehicle in sport mode I have no complaints. The car upshifts and especially downshifts beautifully and I truly feel like the car is driving the way it is supposed to. No delays in power and amazing speed/acceleration.
However in drive mode (which is the most ideal for me to use to/from work when in traffic and to save fuel) I feel like the car occasionally laggs in acceleration. If I keep a steady foot on the gas it speeds up pretty quickly with no problem, however I feel like as if I accelerate lets say going from having my foot down at 50-70 then letting off and putting my foot on the gas again that there is a slight delay in power for 1-2 seconds and then proper acceleration begins again at the normal rate of power. I could swear you can hear the difference in the exhaust too. I don’t know if honestly maybe I’m going crazy but I feel like this will also just happen when going a certain speed then letting my foot off the gas and accelerating again. Again in sport mode this issue is nonexistent only in drive. I took the car to the dealer and they said that their techs drove the car around and could not replicate the issue. They said that there are no codes and no signs of anything being wrong. I thought there was a possible vaccum leak. Apparently one of their techs who handles warranty issues also drove the car around and they also said everything feels fine. They said they couldn’t replicate what I was saying and that the car seemed to accelerate and downshift fine.
At this point again I can’t tell if maybe I just have gotten used to the car, but this problem just makes it seem like the car is not as smooth as when I first bought it. When researching the issue on various forms/reddit/youtube apparently this is a common issue with the adaptive learning system in the 10 speeds and the car learning how you drive. Apparently its a common issue but again I just can’t tell if I’m right or the ford techs are wrong. Again its not like the car isn’t drivable or there is a major issue.
If anyone can let me know if they have had this problem or can relate please let me know. Some guidance on where to go from here would be awesome too. Apparently a tune can fix this but I am hesitant to do anything while still under warranty and not really knowing what the issue is.
Thank you to whoever read all this and wants to help really means a lot

I can see the half of a bullish W forming and this thing hitting $0.89 again tomorrow. If it bounces off (as it should considering the army that’s been amassed here lol) it’ll take off back to the $1.20 resistance. This is a crucial pivot point. If we are to see this go to the stratosphere, it must break that $1.20 barrier. Not just to $1.22 or $1.25
We need to retest $1.30 and then $1.40 and once again $1.50 These are key points of resistance. Our support is stroooonnnggg but hedge funds have a lot of money. They can’t buy shares if we don’t sell them. I understand being safe and placing stop losses and taking profits. It’s fair and it’s honestly the smartest way to trade stocks. However, if you take profits, why not buy back in when it goes on a discount so the next time it gets to that $1.20 or $1.50 or whatever you sold for profit, you get even more money so you’re not shitting your pants when your initial investment starts dwindling. Play their game and beat them at it with their own money lol that’s what they’re doing in the opposite direction with paper hands people. Remember, you only lose money if you sell. Never EVER risk anything more than you’re willing to lose.
If you’re losing sleep over this shit then you have too much invested and honestly should, for your own mental health, back off a little and take some profits or at least break even when you can and get back in when it’s discounted.
This is entirely my own thoughts not financial advise blah blah blah your money use it when and how you need it. These are just things I’ve learned from investing over the years. It’s not gonna go to fkin 0 overnight unless some catastrophic shit happens and then we’ve probably got other things to worry about than our portfolio. Relaaaxxx and take a breath. Zoom out and look at how far we’ve come so far. I like this stock and the company itself is effectively trying to make the Bentley of EVs and I think it’s sick as hell. I want them to succeed and that’s why I invested more myself. That car has soooooo much potential man. Have a good night and I love you all. Fck the haters, just block people saying negative things honestly.
Think for yourself and enjoy your own life. Don’t argue with people that you can block and never have to worry about for the rest of your life lol alright ima go play some video games. Peace nerds!

Ever since ch. 138 came out I began drafting a story within the AoT universe and the reason I did it wasn’t to "fix" the ending, the ending hadn’t come out yet. The reason was to expand the lore and to answer so many questions I had about this story. It was quite fun to plan it, my basic mindset was laying out all the unsolved plot points and sew them together somehow and it took me around 2 days to do so. - Between 15th and 16th of March, 2021. - I set out planning a 21 chapters story, that would be roughly 100k words long, with chapters coming out week to week and hoping to probably finish it in September 2021.
I ended up with over 500k words, multiple new characters - mostly in the "2000 years ago" storyline, in a pretty fun, but quite dark sci-fi adventure story. There's cannibalism in this - ofc, it's aot - and much gruesomeness and violence, but it's also cute at times... Writing it for the past 3 years has been a lot of fun but admittedly has taken over most of my life and certainly all of my free time. Still it was like therapy for my AoT superfan heart so it's fine.
Now that the epilogue is mostly complete and I'm saying goodbye to this story I started to wonder more about how it would be to see all of those scenes animated and how fantastic they could look. It seems like a mad, unachievable dream, considering how expensive it would be to animate most of it, especially the fight scenes and world-end scenarios. Not to mention the crystal-coated Titans 💀 It would be arduous and it would take very long to get to the ending - around 5 to 7 seasons, depending on the length of the episodes - but it would be quite a journey.
So would you be willing to watch it?
these are the links from where I have my tale published:
Official website - https://aotchanges.art/
other fan fiction sites:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13865688/
https://archiveofourown.org/works/45667639
if you want to know the basics of it, here at the topic it covers:
• Ymir's life, 2000 years ago; • Titan origins (9 titans and pure titans); • The life and death of Maria, Rose & Sina; • The Ackermann family 2000 years ago; • Clear explanation of the Ackermann powers and curse; • A lot more about Paths; • The Titan War (100 years ago); • Karl Fritz and the creation of the Walls; • Hizuru, Marley & Eldia after the Rumbling; • Eren's motivations and Attack Titan powers; • The future of Titans and the world; • Ymir's freedom.
The story focuses on Ymir as the main character and it explores her life, expanding a lot of the lore and explaining many things that were left unanswered. It goes back and forth between that storyline - 2000 years ago - and the future, following the regular main cast that we are used to, plus an even further future with a next generation in a post-rumbling world. That third storyline (post-rumbling) is centred (in the first arc at least) on Mikasa and Armin's son, just to give you a heads up, because for some reason just the idea of them having a child makes some AoT fans uncomfortable, I don’t get why. Hey, I just wanted to have a fun, very smart and very violent (raised by Levi) Ackermann with Uncle Eren issues to play around with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I'm not really sorry, he was a fun character to create and still not even close to my favourites Ackermanns, and Fritzs, and Tyburs and other wacky crazies I got to add to this tale between 2000 years ago, years 854 to 867 and now, in the epilogue, up to year 880. (Yes, there are new characters even in the epilogue. 😊)
And don’t worry about the new characters stealing the spotlight, the story also focuses a lot on the main cast that you're used to. Mainly EMA and other mains like Historia and Levi. And I also made sure to expand the story of the Warriors and Survey Corps and other minor characters too. And to give them all very good and respectful sendoffs. That's why it got to over 2000 pages. 😅 I'm not big on hate by the way, I might have some favourite characters, sure. But I respect them all the same. So if you're one of those people who loves "so and so" character but hates other "so and so" characters, then this story is not for you.
PS: Ymir is the main character in this yes, and no, there is no creepy romance between her and King Fritz, there's no creepy stuff in this story in general, there's weird stuff for sure but nothing creepy.
*Real PS: I'm sorry if my post somehow is upsetting or distasteful for you, and I'm thankful for you reading this far regardless. 🙏 I'm not here hoping to offend anyone or trigger bad discussions. I'm just very excited about all that I wrote and very eager to share with other AoT fans.
So, cheers!

So I enjoy reading fanfiction and I read mostly mlm, but also a bit of wlw. The two reasons I read more mlm is because 1) there are more mlm ships and more content made about them (from what I've seen anyway) and 2) because I sometimes enjoy them a bit more (although I still really like wlw content). I think this is because I am more attracted to men than I am to women, hence more mlm (I don't read straight fanfiction, I just never have because I feel like it's more boring and also it might be that I feel competition with the girl in the relationship but I'm not sure). The content I consume about mlm ships is never overtly sexual (smut grosses me out ngl) the closest I've got where I enjoyed it was heavy making out, but that was kind of a long time ago so I can't remember if I sometimes read that kind of thing just because it had a makeout scene or not but I don't think so because I always like the actual characters involved and I don't think I would read it just for that (not sure tho, but I always care about and prefer when the fic has a nice plot and is accurate to the characters from what I remember, that's jow I feel currently for sure).
I have done a bit of research about what counts as fetishization and have found that a lot of people mention how you should never apply ships/fanfiction to irl mlm relationships. I occasionally will associate a real mlm couple or person (usually and effeminate male) with a ship or character and get happy about it, but I would never ever bring it up to them (or anyone, I'm ashamed about it) but sometimes a person/couple will remind me of a characteship and I can't help noticing. Is this bad? Sorry if that was rambley, just wanted to fit everything in. Can anyone from the mlm community PLEASE comment on this and give their oppinion? I'm pretty anxious about this as I know how bad it is to fetishise a community. Thanks for reading.

What does it mean to be a Super Scholar?
In the end to know X you need to think like X, is the concept of creatively understanding a perspective outside of your own, whether it is method of thought in creative or logical processes, or the knowledge that you know can match the mind you wish to understand.
Chess is a game of knowing your opponent, an unknown opponent is more challenging than a combatant, but after the first battle you begin to learn exponentially more with each fight. Seeking to better and fine tune your knowledge, observation, awareness, and troubleshooting for the perfect optimized solution.
The day comes you make it, you have achieved the success you wish to find with the help you needed, now you can help your community better, begin working with hardware to create moisture sensors on the farm fields to maintain perfect watering. Securing your world with motion sensors and the newest hardware sensors.
Super Scholars acknowledge it takes a village to survive, and thus it takes the same survival experience in one child to raise him or her well enough to be prepared for the future endeavors of civilization.
The bigger picture requires cleverness and a hint of humanity working together to grow into the unknown!
Learn to improve yourself day by day so that you may better help others tomorrow.

Creative and Logical Processes of Thought
More on Creative thought and Logical processes in the future, but for the moment, keep the attached image below in mind when thinking of the brain. No, the physical location of left and right are not portrayed accurately to biology, but metaphorically understanding how your brain functions independently can help you optimize yourself in many different methods. Self Discipline comes with Self Analysis.
This is step One in my understanding of a student and their strength and weaknesses, things we often overlook with ourselves. So let me open my own learning methods to you, and you will find similarities, only the time spent on each will differ.
Firstly I want to saturate myself with as much information from a subject as possible, and who better to be flooded with information that some youtube video presentation, or more widely applied, a professional in the field. For some they are College Professors for others a personal tutor. Even if i do not understand it all, i want to be exposed to the words. (Listening)
Then i begin to study diagrams, sample code, and written physical medium (Visual) this is my longest period of interaction with the material, visually taking apart the pieces, defining the words i did not know just moments ago, and drawing (creatively) lines, arrows, connecting factors that let my brain process relationships (very much like a MySQL database).
Finally, i begin to solve the math problem, applying what I have learned, the code that I have now processed i will proceed now to use my motion to create (Kinestetic) this is the last step and second longest step out of the full 3 steps. Exposing myself now to paper and pencil, or clacking keyboard keys, just doing, motion, activity, become the creator and leave the consumer behind for that moment.
As a programmer overall, you realize your motivation to create does not come until you first create a self sustained application/ecosystem/api/framework. Once you see your creation and that it was you who made it, the possibilities expand and you begin to dream forward, imagine what you could achieve from here forth.
But until then, its a black college terminal screen with the prompt flickering;
"Enter employer ID to find your remaining work hours: "
type of programming... and that doesn't seem fun does it...

Hi AnimalJam !
When reading posts and engaging in trading here on the subreddit, it's important to be aware of people who may be looking to take advantage of you or scam you. While we try our best to remove any posts that may seem like a scam, or keep out scammers, it important for you guys to always keep a lookout for yourselves.
1. Always check the account age of the reddit account you may be trading. Often times scammers will make new reddit accounts/ use new reddit accounts if they are intending to scam. This isn't to say that all new reddit users are scammers! Just be more cautious about new accounts. Always check AJ usernames as well and if they seem like spare accounts.
2. Always fact-check vouch proofs. If you see someone commenting "vouching for this person because we traded!" always investigate first. Is the vouch a brand new account? Does the vouch have any past posts or comments that may indicate that they actually did trade? Did the vouch provide proof?
3. Use a trusted middleman. In our official Discord server, we have selected middlemen that met many requirements in order to apply for the role. Each middleman has at least 25-30+ vouches along with being a trusted member in our server. You are more than welcomed, and encouraged to use those services so no party will have to "trust" the other.
If you ever encounter a scammer on the subreddit, please let us know via Mod Mail so that we may take care of the situation. Happy safe trading!

I will be reposting this here as Riot immediately took down my post on leagueoflegends
I started playing league in 18/11/2021 and have played the game consistently until today, 28/5/2024. during this time I have amassed a decently large skin collection for someone still in school with no job or income sitting at around 260 skins and a large majority of the skin collection for my mains (16 Akali skins, all aphelios skins, all qiyana skins and most of evelynns relevant skins and most of irelias relevant skins). Point being, if a skin came out for a character I enjoy, I would look forward to when it came to live and I could buy it for its 10-20$ price tag. After they moved Prestige skins to a prestige shop and realized some players were disappointed with the fact their old limited prestige skins that showed their dedication to their champion were now freely available on a rotation for new people to buy (which was a good change all around because it let new players be incentivized to spend for cool skins for their favs). following this they made mythic variants (which are cool) but way too overpriced, they are barely better than a normal prestige skin however they came with allot of extra stuff. I would argue the extra stuff did not make it worth the $200 price tag, but it would make a $80-$100 price tag reasonable in my opinion.
With the beginning of these new mythic variants, I have started to go from seeing new skin releases and being excited to buy them to seeing a new sick skin and wondering if itll be an event skin or a mythic variant which I will never be able to afford. Mythic variants arent collectors items they are items for well off people who have throwaway money and is not healthy for the REAL collectors of this game who just want to get everything for their favs.
This now brings us to the ahri skin. When I heard Faker was picking Ahri for his T1 skin, I was very excited. I play both Ahri and Lee sin pretty commonly and it just so happens they are the champs relating to my 2 fav T1 players. I was genuinely excited to spend the $20 to buy their skins and represent my favourite players on some of my fav champs. However, he changed his pick to Orianna to allow them the position to make the hall of legends ahri skin. This skin at first glance I thought was amazing, similar to previous skins, I was excited to see it on PBE and then buy it when it came to live. Then I saw the price tag. from this point on I am no longer paying attention to skins and will not be buying them from this point on. They are using a legend to fund their greed. the ahri skin looks phenominal and the arts team clearly did a very good job at designing it.... But it is not worth 600 fucking dollars. I would pay $60 for it, maybe even $100, but nothing more. They are using a legend who has made a staple in his character to never use skins and to never be wasteful with your money, even denying donations to him, telling people to spend it on themselves instead. they are using him and his legacy for their greed and its fucking disgusting.
Finally, for all you people who will still buy it if the cost gets reduced, dont let them scam you. this is a common marketing tactic where people highball the price and then lower it significantly to make you feel like its a good deal. I would advise everyone to not give in to their very obvious disgusting greed and to not pay for the skin at all unless it is permanently dropped to under $100 (with the signature being a bit higher due to the extra bonuses).
Just make the god damn skin not bundle limited and ill still buy it for $60.
this greed disgusts me, I recommend all to boycott buying skins until improvements are made to this disgustingly horrific blatant sign of greed. No skins are permanently gone, you can catch up and buy them all again when they are at affordable HUMAN BEING FUCKING PRICES

Hello Kin, I've decided to finally assemble the Votann starter box that my boyfriend bought me when it first came out (yes, I've been holding out for a while lol), and being the weirdo that I am, I can't help but come up with lore for my little Space Dwarfs already despite them just being plastic bits at the moment. I'm curious what you all think of it, and I'd really appreciate feedback. I'm especially looking for feedback on what color scheme to paint them, in fitting with their theme.
The Zhufbar Acquisitions Union (yes, I'm a WFB nerd, what gave it away?) is a relatively small League. Located in the heart of the Galactic Core, the Union is surrounded by other Leagues and is thus kept relatively safe from the turmoil that has come to the Galaxy in recent centuries. However, despite this relative safety, the ZAU is not satisfied with simply remaining safe and secure. More than most other Leagues, the ZAU is hungry for more resources and riches.
And so, their Prospect fleets go far beyond the Galactic Core, venturing deep into the territory of other empires in search of materiel. Unlike other Leagues, who will use a combination of diplomacy or outright invasion to acquire what they want, the ZAU is willing to engage in what some kin may consider dishonorable tactics; taking advantage of weakened targets to strip their resources.
A potential example; An Imperial Outpost world has a bunch of rare, valuable minerals on it. The ZAU asks to mine it, offering a small cut in return. The Imeprium, being the Imperium, naturally refuse -- the Kin are abhuman dissidents at best, and xenos scum at worst, after all! So, the ZAU prospect goes to the T'au empire, informing them of the valuable minerals on the planet. A few cadres of Fire Warriors, eager to prove themselves, descend on the Imperial world, invading it for the Greater Good.
While all of this is going on, the ZAU makes planetfall on an uninhabited side of the planet, and immediately begin mining. Soon, a vast tunnel system stretches underneath the entire outpost world; as Tau and Human fight on vast battlefields, the Kin are right under their feet, taking all the value of the world for themselves. By the time the war is over, the Kin have drained it of all valuable resources and left, leaving the victor none the wiser.
The bulk of the materiel is then sent back to the Holds of the Zhufbar Acquisitions Union, while the surplus is sold to the hapless Imperium and Tau -- not realizing (or perhaps, willfully ignoring) the fact that it was pilfered from right under their noses!
What do you all think? Any ideas on a color scheme? Does the theme fit the Leagues?

tend to struggle with a lot of issues at home due to how ive grown up and currently. the mix has made me traumatized, hateful, outright depressed and negative with anxiety, emotional problems and as a result, im dissociative, have abandonment issues, obsessions, extreme nervousness as well as body dysmorphia. im very impulsivet too.have a great control of myself now because of my environment. due to my the roughness of finding comfort in solitude and isolation i have time to sit in my head. i was thinking about the reason i am the way i am. ive been watching a lot of psychological animes and noticing how intrigued i am about reading about others issues trying to pick apart there brains. now im picking apart mine.
ive learned to channel my negative energy into positive energy. think about hurting my dad, how much the world sucks, commiting suicide, hurting myself. the list goes on. ive learned to turn that negative energy into more positive energy. sometimes it's still negative and i become even more depressed... im trying to lean how to fight that part. im finally making a healthy step in my mental health. this is something that will help my drive to get out my house and away from this trauma for a breath of fresh air and eggshell free.
please take your time to question your hate and anger, whatever negativity you don't want to feel and figure out how to love and accept it in a positive way. it can be hard but it's an attempt and don't stop trying to pick apart your own brain. if anyone knows you best, its you.

I said a lot about it in yesterday's post, but Bunny Girl Senpai's Fukashigi No Carte is my unskippable ED. Not only is it so emotionally strong, but the walking scene just works. It's a really great touch how for every single girl the time of day is different, and how they each have that one thing in their life that they depend on that keeps them going (For Mai it's Sakuta, for Nodoka it's Mai, etc.) Something about it hits different, and it makes this anime a bittersweet one once you realize there are no more episodes left.
Re:Zero may have some of the best collection of EDs in any anime I've seen. Memento, Stay Alive, and Believe In You are some of the sweetest and saddest songs you can listen to within the context of the show. Styx Helix, however, just hits on a whole other level. It's the first ED, and the animation is great, but the way the song plays after the episode and DURING certain scenes makes it so much more emotionally impactful. And the ED is a BANGER. It is so melancholic but also sounds like the ending of a chapter in a story. The cherry on top is when it shows Subaru and Emilia dying, just their hands, and Subaru grabs Emilia's hand. Before they die, Emilia slowly closes her fingers around Subaru's hand and they both die, the screen fading to white and the ending hand grabbing the screen. That part still makes me cry. It shows how Subaru and Emilia care about each other so much, and it honestly made me enjoy the anime this much more.
Finally we have Naruto's Wind. Naruto was one of my first animes, and I watched it with my brother. During this arc, this is the most memorable thing about it, because the ED is so beautiful with the butterfly and I honestly remember finishing every episode and just viking and relaxing with my whole family.
What are your unskippable EDs? There's a lot of great ones that I can't wait to hear your opinions on. Also Bunny Girl Senpai review coming later today!!
