This is not my original summary. I found this while searching high and low for this webtoon on the internet. It more accurately describes it than my original post did, but the person who asked this question never got the correct answer, sadly. I was directed here by someone who thought maybe you guys could help 😭.
“This story involves a female lead as the main character (MC). She had a sad first life. She was married off by her father. This first marriage did not last; I'm not sure why, as I can't remember.
Her second partnehusband was a mage. Through the female lead's memories, it's revealed they seemed to be happy and had a child together. After two years, however, he had lost interest in her and disappeared/ran off with their child, a son.
She is married a third time, to a man that she had known since her first husband. It again seemed to be a political marriage. She was surprised that her family even agreed to it. However, she believed that he was disinterested in her and there was a divide between them, even though he would visit her at night time (wink wink) but he wouldn't speak to her.
(From my personal recollection of her second husband, she described him as kind and a prince, I think. Their marriage didn’t last long because he soon died (assassination, I think?). Since he was older than her and she was so young, he treated her more like a friend or sibling. And she didn’t kind being married to him).
At some point, she ends up imprisoned, probably for a crime that she did not commit, I believe orchestrated by her family. As she was getting ready for the end, her current third husband was coming to her just as she reincarnated/regressed/died. I remember her seeing him reaching out to her asking her to wait.” (And I think FL hearing a voice/him saying he’ll give her the world and calling her my love).
(From my personal recollection, he was not initially respected as much or maybe not even recognized as a prince for some reason. He was finally recognized because he either engaged in a coupe and won or was victorious in the battlefield—or something. Plus, he was younger than FL, and there was some brief mention of disrespect towards their relationship because she was considered “old”).
More from my personal recollection, the third husband seems to have actually cared for her. When she goes back in time, she meets all her husbands, including her third husband, who’s younger than her. I think he had brownish hair. Since he’s a bastard child or whatever the case was, he wasn’t treated as royalty like the second blonde husband who was also his brother. I think the FL invites the second husband (and I believe their sister, whom she was friends with) to some event or to reveal some secret to them, and they brought along the neglected third husband, who was dressed like a peasant/not like royalty like his siblings. It’s clear from the interactions of her younger self and the third husband towards her that he is not as cold and uncaring as he seemed in their past life, but I didn’t get much further than that.

Don’t get me wrong - his writing is great and the stories have quality but my god what I’ve seen so far has been nothing but a snooze fest.
My coworkers were ranting and raving that Haunting of Hill House was the best thing since sliced bread so I gave it a watch. Again, solid story and writing but that was absolutely not scary at all. It felt like a stretched out family drama with “scary” scenes sprinkled in. I’m not even interested in his other shows that have came out now.
Today I watched “Oujia: Origin of Evil” based on reviews I’ve seen (not knowing it was him). At first I noticed “Hey, that’s the girl from HoHH” and stuck with it til the end where I thought “that was it?”. When the credits rolled, I realized I was Flanagan’d for the last time!

u/blahhh5523 still around and safe? Haven't heard from you lately.

There were 778 responses! I haven't read them, but I think this is a great list for us who want to turn every stone over for #JusticeForMica:
Things we still don’t know the answer to. Unfortunately, the list is still pretty long and I’m sure I’m forgetting some, so feel free to post yours in the comments as well. I will do my best to add them to this list.-How did JP get her necklace? He could have taken it after he saw her body, but he also could have taken it before that.-Why did he have to replace his dog tag chain at the mall after her death?-What did Mica do on the side of the gas station building? The PI went there in person and confirmed they had a bathroom inside.-Was she being stalked and/or followed by the people in the pawn shop and/or the truck at the gas station? It appears that could have been happening.-Why didn’t Robeson County report on the fact that Mica had bruises and scratches on her hands and arms, or discuss the shell casings on the ground at the scene?-Why would someone drive that far and go into such a secluded area of the park if they wanted their family to be able to find them, and walk through high water in the process? That part of the unmarked trail is connected to a creek, so it’s likely that there is always water on it. We encountered no water on trails anywhere else.-Why did it take her 25 minutes to drive to the pawn shop when it only should have taken 10 or 15, and why did she remove her work shirt? It wasn’t busy season in Myrtle Beach yet, so it shouldn’t have taken that long. We drove the route ourselves this week and it didn’t take that long. She could have easily made it to work for her shift at noon if she left her house at 11:38.-We all know by now that JP has several cars in the church’s name. If we don’t have photos of him in Charleston, how do we know he was actually there? Just because his truck was seen doesn’t mean he was driving it.-Why won’t the gas station owner or the state park people release the videos from their cameras if they want to seem cooperative or innocent? The PI and I were promised videos of the inside of the gas station that we have still not received, and he had cameras everywhere inside. We have no video or photo proof that Mica drove to the state park by herself after leaving the gas station. Just because her car was there also doesn’t mean she drove it there.-Why didn’t they do a gunshot residue test, an autopsy, or a toxicology report?-Why did JP want to rush the cremation so badly? Why hasn’t he been visibly grieving?-Where was Wayne Miller during the time this happened? Where was Suzie Skinner? Where was anyone connected with JP? Who are the “other people” he was with, as Robeson County stated?-Why won’t the people in the kayak come forward to share witness statements like Johnnie Jacobs has? He has been very cooperative with the PI.-Did they check her car for a tracker or do any kind of DNA swabs to see if someone else was in the car with her?-Where is her Apple watch?-Where are the 2 or 3 kayakers who also heard the singular shot?-Why did JP want to secure her journals so badly?-Who currently has her car?-Who had Mica been communicating with the night before or day of the incident?-Why was JP trying to access her apartment?-Why would you purchase such an expensive gun to kill yourself when there are tons of cheaper options and you had been struggling with money?-Why did JP go into her workplace the evening of the 28th to talk to her coworkers about how crazy she was?-How did JP know she was heading to Lumberton before she died unless he had another tracker on her car or she was being followed?-Why did she have so much cash on her?-In the video at the pawn shop, she folds the receipt on camera. Why isn’t the photo of the receipt in the Robeson County report folded? It’s perfectly flat.-Who has her phone, and did anyone have her location? If she was so scared of JP, I would think someone had it.-What did the 911 operator see on her screen that caused her to say, “I don’t think you’re in Robeson County?” The parking lot where she parked is Columbus County and the point where her body was found is Robeson County, so this COULD indicate she called from her car.-Why was no name given or asked for during the 911 call?-How was her call so clear when that area is known for spotty cellular service, and the kayaker who found her body had terrible service? The state park website even states that they need to add a radio tower because the service is so poor.-Why didn’t Robeson release the body camera footage?

We are getting married in San Diego next year, and I am hoping to learn more about what to expect in terms of planning and costs.

We're getting married next Sept at my fiancé's family property in the mountains. There is limited power (read: generators & batteries only). I'd love to do a photo guest book where people take a photo, stick it in a book & leave a note! I've researched a bit, but would love input on which camera might be the best option as far as photo quality, and ease of use. Thanks in advance!

I (27M) love my autistic girlfriend (she/her 32NB) and her equally autistic family more than I could possibly say. We have been dating for almost two years now, this is her first romatic or physical relationship and the first time shes ever brought someone home, and its important that she and her family approve of me.
I was very touched when they invited me on vacation with them this summer to join in one of their family traditions. I then discovered that tradition was civil war reenactment. The hardcore kind. they have been doing this as a family since my gf and her brothers were tiny kids, and it was even more important because she and every single member of her immediate family have a special interest in history. She was extremely excited to ask me, i get along well with her folks and brothers, her family's paying for whatever expenses come up, im free on the travel dates, and i need to get out and try things more anyway. There is literally nothing keeping me from going on this trip, except for one single reason thats big enough to actually consider hurting her feelings and staying back.
I Do Not Want To Do That.
What??? The Civil War???? Again?????? its not like i have an issue with other people doing that as a passion i guess but... I just dont get it. I dont understand the fun and fulfilling aspect of dressing up and pretending to kill each other about slavery. I dont like thinking about that! it was sad and gruesome and half of america was literally fighting their families to own sell and kill black people and EVEN THEN the good guys were still 100% big time racist :( Will there be straight up confederate cosplayers around? I assume so but that seems awkward! What Kind Of Person Commits To A 96 Hour Historical LARP Just To Ride For The South? Somebody has to! I guess! But Apart from that, I dont want to wear wrist to ankle burlap in july! I dont want to eat hardtack for four days! I dont want to appreciate historical camping techniques in a municipal park! What if real people see me? And as long as im bitching anyway, i listen to music almost constantly and my only battlefield music options would either be clapping along to classic american folk songs that double as active hate crimes, or losing myself to the groove of that sweet, sweet bugle. again i dont have a problem with my gf and her family doing it but i cant imagine something id rather be doing less. I would try basically any other type of LARP before i would consider donning my cavalry hat and embarking on a 4 day immersive expedition into americas golden age of battlefield amputations.
TLDR; its important to my girlfriend that i go civil war reenacting with her family and i really want to decline even though it wouldnt actually kill me and would make her really happy. If you guys tell me this is what I need to do as a partner then by god i'll do it and ill be a trooper about it, but. yeesh.

Any older siblings out there really feel when Dan tells Cox he needs to stop destroying JDs love of medicine. It gets me every time and its one of my favorite scenes. I often think its because im the older sibling and like Dan ive protected my younger sibling many a time and very rarely if ever i get any thanks or acknowledgement but we do as we are taught to be grown up from the get go and look after that sibling. Our siblings often like Dan arent looked up to. We are the experiments, the prototypes for the next ones.
I dont know i just love how he wakes Cox up. He does something everyone else is afraid of and thats not just stand up to Cox but even low level threaten him to buck up his ways. I just love the scene. there isnt violence its just one man telling home truths to another. Making them wake up
“Hey, listen, Dr. Cox. No offense. I'm a big fan of the tough guy act. But let me tell you what I really think. I think you love the fact that these kids idolize you. Johnny does! Johnny was always the one in the family we knew was going someplace. Sweet kid, smart kid. Becoming a doctor? This is all he ever wanted. And yet somehow, you found a way to beat that out of him, haven't you? Turned him into some kind of cynical guy, who seems to despise what he does. Dr. Cox... Johnny's never gonna look up to me. Ever. But he hangs on your every word. So, I'm asking... I'm telling you: Take that responsibility seriously; stop being such a hard ass. Otherwise, you're gonna have to answer to me.”

Here's the situation: I am in California (Bay Area) renting a 1BR 1.5BA townhome. My landlord has asked us to leave within 60 days as he's selling the place. He offered to sell it to us.
Reasons I want to buy it from him:

• I just brought a newborn home, my baby was not even 2 weeks old when we got the news last week. The thought of finding a new home and moving while recovering from birth and keeping a newborn alive makes me want to vomit from stress.
• I feel like I have the perfect setup, it's where I've lived for many years and it's super close to my work and everything I need.
• We have an emotional attachment to this house, many happy memories.
• I want to buy a house eventually but I am really afraid of buying a strange house and discovering its flaws, whereas I know this house and know it is good. It's in a great school zone, low crime, great community..
• An off market transaction means we don't have to compete and we get a slight discount. Could be a rare opportunity.
• I have been itching to buy a home because I hate burning money on rent, and am afraid I'll get priced out of home ownership forever at the rate things are going. I had many chances to buy over the last decade and a half and am kicking myself for not buying.
• I want to buy in CA because I love CA and hope to come back. Prop 13 means taxes are frozen if I buy now.
• I really want to avoid all the hassles and costs of moving, updating addresses, cleaning, inspections etc. And we'll have to do it again when we move again next year.
• I found another place we can rent, but it's smaller, more expensive, further away and that makes me really upset and sad thinking about having a long commute to work when I return to work, having to find new pediatricians and dentists etc. And we have to downsize and throw some of our things away which is also upsetting.
• Husband and I have been changing our life plan constantly so who knows maybe we'll end up staying another ten years in CA despite saying we'll move after one year.
• Renting the house out may have lower yields now but with inflation it will eventually catch up and the house itself will appreciate.

Reasons not to buy but rent for a year instead:

• We are planning to move in a year
• Seems like a really bad time to buy because of low supply (but I have lost out big because I kept thinking it was a bad time to buy over the last decade)
• the house is probably not big enough to be our forever home (the house has a bonus room but idk if a teenager will like staying in a tiny room). No space for visiting family etc.
• We talked about renting the house out after we move. Husband and I have been saving in HYSA and Tbills so we might be able to pay all cash, but after crunching the numbers, even with no loan interest it looks like after property management, HOA, taxes, and insurance the returns are less than if I kept the cash in T bills (not sure if the math is right). And that doesn't include maintenance and bad tenants etc.
• We will be really cash poor if we go all cash and that makes me really uncomfortable. But paying high interest is also unappealing.

I keep changing my mind every hour. Please help me with this decision that I have to make under pressure, I am distressed and sleep deprived with this newborn and can't think straight :(

I've never read the books and have seen mix reviews about the show being better than the books and vice versa, so I've been hesitant to read them. But something I wish the show would highlight more are the sibling and family dynamics.
do the books accomplish this more than the show? I guess I'm looking for more interactions and moments amongst all the siblings (I.e. more banter and just general moments with the siblings). Are there more moments like these in the books or does the show really play these scenes out to the extent that the books do? I know all the books probably vary, so I'm speaking generally.

Hi, (Female, 17) here. My sister (21, Female).
When I was younger, around 12 - 13, I had a pretty good relationship with my older sister, we'll call her Sam.
Sam and I were very close, we shared hobbies and got along perfectly fine. But around the time I turned 14-15, Sam changed drastically.
I started noticing it with her body language. She started looking at me with disgust. She no longer enjoyed hanging out with me and would always make up an excuse to ditch me. I could tell our relationship changed but I wasn't sure why.
It got worse over time. Sam would picked fights and called me horrible names. The ones used most often are "Conceited, selfish, b*tch." I hadn't changed, I still acted the same, I still loved the same things as I did when I was 12. She got very personal and hurtful with the insults. She made fun of my hair, my voice, the way I walked. She made it clear that she didn't like anything about me anymore. It hurt a lot and I felt alone for a while. When I entered high-school, I made more friends and really enjoyed their company. I feel like they helped turned me into a more confident and happier version of myself.
Sam didn't really talk to me around this time but one day, I woke up to her screaming about me to my mother early in the morning. This came as a shock because we hadn't spoken or even fought prior to this. It was totally random. She told my mother that she didn't want to be near me, how she hated me and I was a stupid c*nt. It sounded like she was in tears when she was screaming this. That's how I knew this hatred she had for me was real. She told my mother she was going to physically attack me and beat me up. Of course, everyone thought she was bluffing but it turns out she wasn't. She attacked me about 3 times. Luckily, someone was always there to pull her off of me. Sam was bigger than me. She was taller and weighed more so of course she overpowered me. It was absolutely terrifying to have someone who you always loved and trusted, completely turn on you and try to hurt you.
Eventually things calmed down. Sam got a job and was finally socializing outside of our family. She didn't go to school so she had all the time in the day to do anything but unfortunately spent it making my life a living hell. She made me extremely insecure about myself but around 15 - 16, I gained my confidence back and tried to ignore everything she said to me.
My other older sister, we'll call Veronica, was talking to this guy, who she really liked, and I noticed Sam would flirt with him a lot. As time went on, Sam managed to steal this guy from Veronica and they started dating. This absolutely BROKE Veronica. She had to watch her sister and her ex bf dating, kissing, and flirting in front of her. Every time Veronica was near them, Sam would have this smug smile on her face and rub it in Veronica's face. I was so pissed for Veronica. Sam ended up getting her karma and the guy broke her heart. Now every time Veronica is talking to or seeing a guy, Sam always asks if she can meet him or go out with them together and Veronica won't let her. I can't blame her. Sam is sneaky and if she's not flirting with Veronica's boyfriend, she's trying to embarrass her.
I notice Sam tries to embarrass me a lot. When we're out in public setting, she'll always say something obnoxiously rude. She tells everyone I'm shy when I'm really not. I'm actually the most bubbly in the family. I just don't say anything around her cause I'm uncomfortable and I don't want her to embarrass me. She tells everyone I'm a conceited diva and she makes herself seem humble and down to earth. The other day we were out with some family members that we hadn't seen in years and Sam was taking pictures of the view and I was watching her take the photos and she looked at me and yelled "ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOURSELF IN THE REFLECTION OF MY CAMERA" and I explained to her that I couldn't see myself because the camera was flipped and I was just watching the photos be taken. Usually I don't defend myself or explain, I'd just laugh things off but this time, I was sick of her making me look like a concieted b*tch to people so I made it clear she was misunderstanding and I could tell she didn't like this. She snarled and stormed off. It got pretty awkward after that and everyone was confused about why she was saying that to me.
Sam ended up getting a boyfriend. I didn't like him so I stayed away but she would always bring him over even though he treated my family like crap. He called my dog ugly, he never thanked my grandma for cooking them dinners, and he ignored my other family members. He would come over and flop on the couch like a beached whale. I couldn't tell him to leave so I hid in my bedroom. I found out from him that Sam was sharing a lot of me and my family's personal business. Things like, money, drama, lawsuits, and issues we were having within the family that were NOT supposed to be discussed for fun. She shared EXTREMELY private things and this broke my family's trust with her. Everyone tried to keep things secret from her out of fear that she'd tell people she knew. Sam shared me and another family member's sexuality with her friends and boyfriend. I told Sam that I was not ready to tell my parents yet because they weren't big supporters of that kind of stuff. She now holds this over my head and hints about it to my parents. She doesn't do this to my other family member even though they aren't out either, she only uses this again me.
One time my Sam got drunk and told me that her and her boyfriend had sex where I sleep. She thought this was absolutely hilarious and I was so pissed. I had never felt such anger and betrayal. She also made a few sexual jokes about me to her boyfriend which left me feeling disgusted so I'd rather not discuss those.
Sam is almost 22 now and she's still living with us. She doesn't have a job and she doesn't help much with chores. She plays on her phone all day or watches TV. I'm working 3 days a week and finishing school but Sam tells me that I do nothing all day and I need to do more with my time. She also told me I shouldn't be allowed to finish high-school because she never did, even though she didn't want to finish and dropped out by choice. I tried to explain to her that I really want to finish high-school and save up money for college but she thinks I don't deserve to.
She stills says horrible things to me like "you have no future, you'll still be sitting on your ass in your parents house when you're 30." She also told me that she hopes I can't have kids because I'd be a terrible selfish mother. She steals my food and shames my interests.
I miss the sister who loved me back. I don't know who she is now and I don't know why she thinks we're in competition.
Please share your thoughts on my story and let me know if you've dealt with similar issues! 💛

That’s all it was. A game.
Something my friends and I used to play during the summer when we had nothing better to do. I never expected that it would get so out of hand.
I never expected it to come back long after recovery.
To anyone reading, please don’t do what I did.
I’m putting this out there to warn people.
On that warm summer evening, we played the role of Pandora.
Except, the monsters we released were far worse than what’s told in stories.
Because stories end.
And this doesn’t.
I still remember the date. July 16, 2013. I was an upcoming senior in high school while the others were getting prepared for their freshman year of college, raving on about their majors, life plans, dorms, you get the point. The summer had been bittersweet as those months would be the last I’d see them for a while. Because of this, Anthony, Lola, Eliza, and I would spend the bulk of our time together going to festivals and various camping trips, trying to make the most out of the summer while we could. On that day, the day I wish I could forget, Eliza had run late to one of our hangouts at my place. This was odd since as an Ivy league student, she was usually early or right on time to these kind of things. Half past three, we heard her knocking on my door rapidly, which was also out of character considering that she was usually the calm one in our group. A bit worried, I hurried down the stairs with Anthony and Lola following close behind, expecting Eliza to be in hysterics due to her frantic behavior. When I opened the door, however, there she was with a bright smile on her face, her red hair getting in the way of her eyes, which were a dark green shade. She pushed her hair out of her face with one hand and held a brown box in the other, and she was bouncing up and down as she usually does when she’s about to talk about something exciting.
“You’ll never believe what I found.” Eliza’s voice could barely hold her impatience as she stepped inside and kicked her shoes off once she crossed over my threshold.
“What’s up with you today?” Anthony questioned, looking more confused than concerned now.
“I’ll show you guys in a minute. Can we go up to your room, Felix?” Eliza looked over at me with her trademark smile, knowing damn well we were all too curious to just leave that box unopened. Without a word, I led the group up to my room and shut the door after everyone had walked in. Anthony took his usual spot on my beanbag and unzipped his hoodie, which had the MSM logo sprawled across the front in big red letters. He adjusted his dark rimmed glasses and took on his usual stoic expression. Lola wore a dark blue FIT shirt, which she revealed more of when she moved her locs over her shoulder as she sat on my desk chair and wheeled over to us. As she did, the various necklaces she wore clinked against each other. Eliza herself was the smartest out of the group, and probably in the whole school as well. She had gotten accepted into multiple prestigious schools, but ultimately settled for Harvard to pursue a degree in some obscure philanthropic career. Unlike Anthony and Lola, Eliza wore her regular outfit –usually a white tank top and jeans– and sat on my bed with the box in her lap. I took a seat next to her to get a closer look.
“So what’d you find?” The others moved closer.
“Something we probably haven’t thought about for a really long time. Do you guys remember that one game we used to play in middle school? The one we made after Felix joined our class?” Eliza looked at our puzzled faces to see if we had connected the dots, but her clue didn’t seem to strike any of us with familiarity.
“After Felix joined? Didn’t we just hang out or something that weekend?” Anthony questioned.
“We did, but there was something else,” Eliza raised an eyebrow, “you guys seriously don’t remember?”
At that moment, I saw Lola’s eyes light up and a thin smile grew on her lips, something she always did whenever she was able to figure something out.
“You mean that little map game we played? Where we would go out to the woods and explore?”
Both Anthony and I seemed to have remembered as well with the mention of a ‘map game.’ I chimed in, “ yeah I remember! Every once in a while when we were all bored, we’d pick a random spot on a map to go to and explore there for a bit, right? When did we stop doing that anyways? I remember really enjoying it.”
“Well life happens,” Eliza responded to me, “but I was thinking of things to do for the rest of the summer when I suddenly remembered that game! That’s why I was so late for our meetup today, I was looking through my attic for this.” Eliza shook the box slightly and a couple things clattered around inside.
“There’s no way.” Anthony sounded like he was in disbelief.
“You mean…?” Lola sat forward in the chair. Eliza smirked, her adventurous nature creeping out as realization swept over us like a wave.
“Mhm! I found the map we used to use as well as the things we collected from our little escapades.” With that, Eliza opened the box, revealing a folded piece of paper and various trinkets scattered over the bottom of the capsule. Lola squealed with excitement and immediately snatched the box from Eliza, who simply chuckled and leaned back on the bed.
“No way! Everything’s still in here!” Lola digged through the box and placed whatever objects she found across the blanket. Anthony got up and sat at the foot of my bed, to observe our findings more closely. There was a piece of some clay pottery, some rusty springs and scraps of metal, an old digital camera, and some other random stuff I can’t recall to memory right now. Anthony picked up a spring and turned it in his palm.
“Shit man, this is from that abandoned junkyard we found in 8th grade…that feels like such a long time ago now.”
I examined the piece of pottery with Eliza looking over my shoulder. Lola picked up the digital camera.
“Do you remember where this came from?” I turned to Eliza and held up my discovery.
“No clue,” she shrugged. It must have been a while ago if even she didn’t remember. I turned the piece over and grew curious when I saw weird symbols inscribed on the inside of it. I squinted a bit, trying to discern some sort of pattern within the scribbles.
I turned to Eliza again, “hey, what do you think-”
“OH MY GOD GUYS IT STILL WORKS!” Lola’s voice went up a whole octave as she motioned to us.
The rest of us looked up as she turned the camera to face us. There were various photos we went through. All of us at lakes, museums, exploring the woods; everything we did from 7th grade until my freshman year seemed to be documented. The last photo was arguable the best and msot bittersweet. It was a picture of the whole group from a while ago. We were sitting at Eliza’s dinner table with a giant chocolate cake on the middle of it adorned with two candles shaped like the numbers one and five. Eliza was talking to me in the photo. Her hair was even more red at the time and she wore it in a braid. I looked about the same in the photo as I did then, with light brown hair, blue eyes, and freckles scattered all over my body and face. I was smiling sheepishly at Eliza. I now knew why Anthony said it was obvious I had a crush on her in 8th grade. Lola went through the most changes out of all of us. At the time in the photo, she had her hair straightened and side-swept, with a bright pink streak in her bangs. She wore clunky jewlery and a frilly skirt underneath a long tank top, leaning over the table to cut another slice of cake. All of us had birthday hats on except for Anthony, who kept his sitting on the table. He held up a peace sign staring straight into the camera with a stoic expression. He looked like a statue compared to the rest of us, who were laughing and smiling. You could tell he was having fun, though.
“Well don’t you look like a ray of sunshine,” Lola snickered as Anthony shot her a dirty look.
“At least I didn’t go through some weird scene phase in freshman year,” He smiled and watched Lola’s face, knowing she was blushing despite her dark skin which made it practically invisible. I let a laugh slip out, but quickly stifled it knowing that if I kept going it would mean death. Lola side-eyed me and continued, “I was using my creative liberty to experiment with my options as an artist,” she said with an overly-posh accent that made Eliza laugh.
“Yeah Anthony, don’t be such a downer,” Eliza teased. Anthony simply rolled his eyes and suppressed a smile to pretend like he was mad at all of us. He looked into the box and picked up the paper we left, unfolding it with a hint of excitement and curiosity. When he looked at it, only two words came out of his mouth.
“Holy shit.”
“What, what is it?” Lola tried to look at the other side of the paper, but Anthony quickly held it out of her view.
“What if I didn’t want to show you?” A smile crept onto his face. This was one of those rare moments where he’d be in the moos to joke around with us.
“Don’t be a dick bro,” I said, laughing as I went to grab for the paper. Anthony just held it up in the air and pushed me off of him and I landed on my floor. While he was distracted, though, Eliza took her chance and snatched the paper right out of his hand.
“You boys need to learn to be nice,” she warned in her jokingly stern voice as she unfolded the paper and spread it out onto my bed. We all leaned over to look.
It was a map of a couple towns including ours. There were around ten small star stickers placed on different areas on the map near the streets the four of us lived in. On the top of the map, a couple words were scrawled in black sharpie; “Pick a Place!” I could see everyone’s faces light up.
“Oh my god it’s our map!” Lola shouted and pointed to one of the stars near her street, “this was where we found that old junkyard right?”
Eliza smiled, “I remember that. It feels like such a long time ago now.” She pointed to another star, “and this is where we found that lake we made a hideout of. I still remember swimming in there in 8th grade…”
The four of us reminisced for a while, talking about where we had gone and what we did there, and how impressive it was that we didn’t get tetanus from that junkyard. After nearly an hour of conversation, Eliza asked something that made all of us stop.
“So how about it guys? Do you want to do one last round before the summer ends?”
The rest of us looked around at each other. It was clear we all wanted to do it. Eliza seemed to catch on and she nodded.
“Who wants to pick where we go?”
“How about you do the honors?” Lola suggested, motioning towards the map. “You’re the one that brought this stuff in anyways.”
Eliza raised her eyebrow but didn’t object. Without a word, she examined the map for a few minutes, then placed her finger on one spot a bit far from my house.
“How about here?”
“You think we can make it that far?” Anthony asked.
“Well, we can drive now so why not?”
“You sure there’s some type of trail we can drive on? That spot looks pretty deep in the woods”
“We can find a path to drive on for a bit then walk the rest of the way. C’mon guys, this is probably our last chance to do something like this! Felix, you can drive right?”
Eliza and the rest turned to me with a hopeful expression. I had to comply.
“Sure. No big deal, right?”
All three of them cheered and high fived each other, looking pretty excited to go on one last adventure.
“So when do we leave?” I questioned.
Eliza flashed that smile again, “right now.”
“Right now?!”
“Hell yeah,” Lola chimed in. “It shouldn’t take that long, right?”
“I guess…” Even then I felt uneasy about the whole thing. I didn’t feel prepared enough to go on some random trip into the woods. I needed to pack food, water, flashlights, I had no idea how long this was going to take. Little did I know that those things would be the least of my worries a couple hours from then. I wish I could go back and convince my 17-year-old self that it wasn’t worth it, that I should just convince my friends to stay and talk for the rest of the day. I wish Eliza had never remembered that stupid game. In a way, I’m almost mad at her for what happened, but I know it wasn’t anyones fault. We just wanted to have fun. I wish we could’ve just had fun. But God had a different plan for us. One that made me think Satan himself devised it instead. On July 16, 2013, Anthony He, Lola Smith, Eliza Landserson, and Felix Johanson went on an adventure that none of them were ready for.

ೃ༄🐛ೃ༄ introduction ೃ༄🐛ೃ༄

if you are involved in the shifting community, you may have seen the mention of some sort of 'lifa app' with no explanation as to what it is. sometimes, in scripts, it will say stuff such as...
'when i shift to this reality, i will have a lifa app to check in on my cr self and it cannot be deleted or destroyed.'
but what is the app that everyone is talking about? is it an actual app or sort of app in another reality that everyone just knows of?
in this post, i will be explaining the lifa app as a full guide of how to use it. its features, and what it is.

༊·˚🌿 what is the lifa app? ༊·˚🌿

the lifa app is a reality shifting based app that lets you keep track of your dr or multiple drs in literally every way imaginable. from the time it is to your memories. it even gives you diary entries for yourself. it is meant to be used as a tool to help shifters keep track of all of their information about them and their dr. it also allows a gateway to meet other shifters like yourself and shift with them to the same reality.

｡･ﾟﾟ･ 🥞 🥯 features 🥯 🥞 ･ﾟﾟ･｡

the lifa app has many features. the main ones you can see first are dr details, visualizations, group shifting, sharing.
let's go over each feature one by one.

: ̗̀➛ dr details

the first thing that you will get when you are greeted by this an i icon that says about this dr. when you click on it, you are able to type the location and a background story about your desired reality.
: ̗̀➛ time
this feature allows you to add a time and date to your dr. time will pass the same as it does here. for example in my dr, it is currently november 19, 2130 and is 1:47 pm. i chose to freeze time in this dr and submitted it.
: ̗̀➛ theme
this holds the name of what your dr is called, the icon it has, and the background of it when you click on the app. you can also choose the font color and a background tint as well. it also holds your name in your dr.
: ̗̀➛ timeline
you are able to establish a timeline of your desired reality before the point that you shift. i recommend keeping it brief to the important stuff. main instances of childhood and things that you remember with the same importance as you do now.
: ̗̀➛ notion script
this feature is if you have a script on the website notion script. it is a website in which you can gather and fill in shifting templates and is a great way to organize yourself. this is not necessary though. there are other features you can use for your script on here.
: ̗̀➛ about me
this is just a section where you write all about yourself. your name, your age, nicknames, safe word, height, hometown, ethnicity, race, nationality, sexuality, pronouns, gender, language(s), positive traits, negative traits, habit, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and skills.
: ̗̀➛ relationships
when you enter this tab, it will take you to a screen that has a place where you can add family members, friends, pets, significant other(s) or 'other'. the other tab has you in it.
when you decide to add let's say a friend, you start off by adding their name. then there age, closeness, and appearance. you can follow that up by adding a photo of said friend. you can type in relationship dynamic, how you met, and extra info. the format is the exact same no matter the type of relationship aside from pets.
the pet section is a little bit different. you add their name, age, species, pet bed, size, and about them.
there is also a recorder option where you can move around the placements of these characters.
: ̗̀➛ scenarios
this includes upcoming scenarios that you had planned, past scenarios that you did while in your reality, desired upcoming scenarios that include no date but you want to do or have plans to do. finally, you have memories which has no date. these are things that you will automatically remember when in your dr.
it's just a brief section where you can type in a title and add as much as you want of details of that memory. you can add a photo and select if it has a date or if it is a past memory or not.
: ̗̀➛ calendar
this just has the date of your dr. you can also create events on specific dates. that's pretty much it, this section is short.
: ̗̀➛ diary
you can write diary entires. talk about your day, memories, anything that may make you feel closer to your dr. this section is also short.
: ̗̀➛ playlist
so is this one. you make a playlist. and link the playlist, whenever you open the playlist, you get a new tab that takes you to that playlist to listen. i use it to keep my shifting subliminal playlist, but you don't have to.
: ̗̀➛ hero/villain
this is a tab within a tab so i'm bolding it. the first tab is customize, but that feature is locked behind a paywall with a monthly subscription of $3.99. i will talk about the subscription later.
then you have powers. you type the name of it and what your powers do. you have weapons which have the same explanation as powers. missions means you can make your own missions.
then there is combat skills. you list your strength, speed, agility, intelligence, compatibility, stamina, and flexibility out of five. then you can add your backstory. it's a blank sheet where you can type it out.
next is costumes where you describe what your costume looks like.
ally team includes your team name, how well you work together, specific events and upcoming battles, and other details. you can also add relationships from your relationship section and names of that.
enemy team is relatively the same. a team name, specific events or battles, other details, and can once again, select relationship with each member.
finally, there is timeline which has a title and description. you can also add scenarios if needed.
thankfully, that is thee last feature about dr details and we can now move on to visualizations.

: ̗̀➛ visualizations ‧₊˚🖇️✩

this tab focuses all on the visual aspects of your desired reality. even if you can't visualize, you can still use these to get a good idea on what things will look like.
: ̗̀➛ appearence
you can add a hair claim, face claim, body claim, hand claim, voice claim, and specific features claim. personally, i think that the last one could be explained easily in body or face claim.
either way, when you press one of these tabs, you can type in a detailed description on what you look like. now, i didn't notice at first but all the way at the bottom will be a small section that says add photo to which you can go into your gallery and choose a photo for yourself on that specific claim.
: ̗̀➛ wardrobe
this section will include an area that says wardrobe. you press the giant + sign on the top right hand corner and it takes you to a section that says create wardrobe. all you gotta do is add a title and a description. once you do that, you click on the tab again and then add a photo of a specific outfit of yours. you can add multiple photos, move them around using the recorder option right next to photos.
: ̗̀➛ photo gallery
you can make multiple photo galleries , customize albums of different things relating to your dr.
: ̗̀➛ pinterest boards
here you can add the link to your pinterest board...and a title. that's about it.
: ̗̀➛ wallet
this does not connect to any funds in this reality. it's supposed to keep track of money in your dr. i find this feature a bit dumb tbh and seems to waste more time preparing to shift than actually shifting.
: ̗̀➛ outfits
again, this is the same as wardrobe but more customized. you can add each individual clothing item separately if you wanna do that.
: ̗̀➛ belongings
you add photos and a title of what you own and its sentiment. yeah.
: ̗̀➛ or self
it has a stick figure of you. you list your family, what they're doing, their location, and your action, mood, and location.
: ̗̀➛ music group dr
without paying, you can only add one music group and one album. there is a members tab but you need a monthly subscription in order to access it.
i use this feature in one dr to describe my favorite band to listen to and an album i like. if you wanna add more than one album, then you also need to pay,
: ̗̀➛ school app
this is a doozy and has multiple tabs so this will be rapid fire.
you have your student i.d. report card, schedule.
schedule contains period, subject, and teacher. your school in your dr. you can add a photo, location, mascot, colors, class song, traditions, and history of your school.
you can also add your school uniform if you have one. this includes daily uniform and gym uniform. you can add a school map and a yearbook (????????)
again, these are fine i think but the yearbook seems unnecessary, just script who is in your class with you.
also there's a teacher mode but you can only access that with payment.
: ̗̀➛ chat
you can make a chatroom. and roleplay as every single member in that chatroom...for some reason. i don't need to repeat myself here, you already know what i'm going to say.
: ̗̀➛ chat ai
this is locked behind a paywall. just use character ai, it's free and you don't have a limit of 200 messages per day.
: ̗̀➛ family tree
for some reason you can't add siblings. the only way to add siblings kinda is to make them have the same parents as you on a new family tree.
this is just so not necessary. just write down your siblings in your script. no need for your entire extended bloodline. the universe will figure that out.
: ̗̀➛ places
you add places in your dr.
: ̗̀➛ fame phone
you can make a knock off insta account, twitter account, a wikipedia, and a youtube. again, not needed. just shift. also the settings and notifications features are locked behind a paywall.

: ̗̀➛ group shifting

you need to convert your account into an online account. but you can connect with other people and plan to shift together as a group. for those that don't know, group shifting is where you and one or more people collectively decide to shift to the same dr as different people and basically share an experience in that dr.

: ̗̀➛ sharing

the exact same thing as above. except this time you can just share your dr. you need an account to access this feature. it can give others ideas on scripts, drs, or anything else of the sort. it can be a great way to connect with others.

𓍯𓂃ᥫ᭡.🩹 final thoughts 𓍯𓂃ᥫ᭡.🩹

i think some of its features are helpful! however, other parts of it can be very distracting from shifting. i almost felt like this was an oc maker rather than shifting app. some of these i think didn't need so many features. the amount of features there are is crazy. the features section alone i needed to divide into several sections because it took so much longer to get through than i initially thought. it took about two hours to review each of them and i had to take breaks in between. to a new shifter especially, this would be so overwhelming.
you don't need face claims, body claims, or special features claims. as long as you have a general idea of what you and your desired reality is like then you're fine. this is just gonna over complicate shifting and make it seem more fictional in a way. if anything, this makes you less connected to your desired reality since your focusing so much on this one.
it wouldn't be a waste to download it but i wouldn't recommend buying it. but if you do, then more power to you.
please stay safe and happy shifting ᥫ᭡

No idea of actors. First scenes family gets shot at during dinner. They also bitch about eating spaghetti again and the grandpa getting it in his lap.
A boy best friend is missing, his best friend’s dad try’s to find him. There is a hockey rink scene with lots of blood and another scene where they reveal pedophiles. Also a diner scene with a gun in the toilet.

Hello to whoever sees this, it is the first time I make a post here, I just want to say that the purpose of this post is just to express myself, how I feel, feel free to leave your comment, it doesn't matter if it's mockery, hate, support everything is welcome. I am 20 years old, and 8 months ago I was diagnosed with an anxious-depressive disorder and I am currently dealing with it. I have never seen the need to go to a psychologist. I only visited him once when I was little and I never did it again until 9 years ago. months, I visited a psychologist and after several appointments, he diagnosed me with this, and honestly it took me by surprise and in the following months everything has been worse, Like any family with old habits, they do not believe in these types of issues, it is horrible to know that your family does not support you and sees it as nonsense, I have friends, but my circle is reduced to 3 friends, yes, my inner circle is only 3 friends, all my life I was raised with women, my father abandoned my mother and me when I was 6 years old, and he was in prison for a crime in which he was accused but that is a story for another day, the point is that I grew up with my grandmother and my grandfather, my mother was an absent mother and was never at home, she never shared time with me and my family made me hate my childhood, my aunts were the main ones along with their children, they despised me every chance they could, Because I don't have the same things as your children, I'll be honest with you, I don't remember almost anything about the supposed things that I had, but honestly I was one of those who never took money to school, the one who wore things that were of no use to others. and you know, from the age of 9 I began to change my perspective on the world, I had learning problems but after I was expelled for not having attended a mathematics exam due to getting sick and going to another school, I understood that I had to change everything and I matured. an apparently quick way, as a teenager I went through what normally happens, falling in love, having a girlfriend, etc., I won't say so many details so as not to get away from the main thing, but turning 15 my perspective on life changed again, I understood that love is not They are just nice words, good compliments, I had a relationship with a girl older than me, she was 17 and I was 15, I guess it's strange but depending on the colors haha, well in the end I was fooled by someone who had similarities to a character in a book, So you can see the reason was extremely stupid, that to this day I have the belief that age does not define your maturity, in short this affected me a lot and being the boom of 2020, it was worse, I fell ill with that, you already know My mother almost died, but thank God she is alive, well, I left high school and went to university, and then I moved on to what I am currently living, In September 2023 I was detected with profound depressive anxious syndrome. At first I thought it was a joke but when I investigated, the truth is my world changed for the third time. At that time I had a friend named Carmen. We will call her Carmen. Carmen has or had, I don't really know. I fought with her, because she left me to go to C0g3r, the truth is today I don't think it was a stupid reason to fight, I just wanted her to help me because of the situation I was in, I was very sad and I didn't I had someone to talk to, I told her and she left me like garbage waiting for her at my house to be able to talk to her, and honestly this changed my perspective on the ties with my friends, especially with my female friends, the Most of my female friends tend to say that all men are the same and that's typical. I'll be honest, we all sin equally, both men and women. I'll tell you something. I'm usually someone who's quite reserved with people. I don't talk much. I'm someone who's quite introverted. and I think I manage to create bonds with women easily, so I grew up with my grandmother, my older sister, and with an aunt on my mother's side, and I saw the mistreatment they do to her, but well, I got off the topic, he Anyway, I got into a fight with Carmen, and we haven't spoken in a while. She doesn't know it but the reason I called her was because I wanted to take my life, I think I didn't do it because I wasn't determined enough, I already had where and with what but I decided to ask for help but they denied it, that's why since I was little I did my things alone and the things that were difficult for me to do I did as best I could and if it turned out badly I learned from it and did it better the next time. I am currently on medication but I don't know what to do anymore, my friends give me recommendations about everything, and my psychiatrist and my psychologist help me with certain therapies, I have tried to change several habits to feel better but nothing works for me anymore, I wanted to resume my physical activity going to boxing, but since this is the penultimate year of my degree, which is an engineering that in itself is quite demanding of time and a mental effort due to many sleepless nights, I am on the verge of being admitted to a psychiatric hospital
