2024.05.21 13:56 dissociativedays I want to go no-contact with my family. How do I become okay with it?

I suspect my sister is narcissistic with enabling parents. I was considering going no-contact with my family minus a brother I’m close to 3 years ago and was almost out until my father died in a freak accident and I got roped back in. My sister has spent the last 30 years making my life a living hell and my parents never stuck up for me or protected me from her. My mother, now alone, is terrified of her. We had a shitty childhood and all have different survival tactics, but after going to therapy for four years now, I’ve gotten away from those and surround myself with happy, healthy, amazing, supportive people. In regard to family, I keep my distance when I can (living 3.5 hours away helps), but often am the one everyone turns to when shit goes sideways to fix everything, calm people down, figure out what to do next. I’m tired of it, especially now realizing no one does the same for me.
I recently got married and had a 40 person head count, with 38 yeses. After a bunch of random crap, 13 of my 20 invitees flaked 3 days to 2 hours before the party, all of which were very, very close family members including a brother and two of my BILs. Had I known this, with ample timing, I would have invited more friends who WOULD have shown, but due to family taking up so much of the headcount, I couldn’t extend invites to them all. I vented to my mother who said at least I have my sister coming, who I said was only invited since the others were and she has never been nice to me or my husband - which my mother agreed with and said was a self-centered survival thing. I said she should learn a little kindness which would get her far. She despises my husband, who is genuinely as nice as can be, even to a fault. Doesn’t have a bad bone in his body, god bless him. But he supports me and loves me and we do well off each other and thrive, which she doesn’t like. Other siblings have commented on the fact she treats him so poorly when he is nothing but so kind to her.
Come party, 2 hours in and she’s nowhere to be seen. We’re waiting around to cut cakes since her household consisted of 5 people and we didn’t want to have people randomly walk in on it and ruin the photographs, miss the momentous moment, etc. My brother gets in touch with her and relays the message that I’m a monster, I’m childish and horrible and never welcome her to anything and I’m irrelevant and no one likes me which is why everyone bailed on me and I should be embarrassed. The only person I said those things to was my mother (who couldn’t come to party due to health reasons). I spent a majority of my wedding party crying on a fire escape because I was so upset by her words, so upset that everyone bailed, and so upset I didn’t follow my gut inviting other friends who would have come over obligatory family invites. I blocked my sister and her friend who joined in on her meanness. She has taken to emailing and texting me under spoof emails and phone numbers. Calling me irrelevant, embarrassing, disgusting, ugly, childish, greedy, no one showed up because they don’t like me, never been liked, etc.
My mother has spoken to her, but hasn’t reached out to me since the party when I said I was hurt at what she shared in confidence and need to think about what I want from this family anymore. My mother swears she went through her phone and saw the messages, but other parts of her (mothers) story don’t align. My mother historically has victim mindset over everything and could do no wrong.
I’m hurt, I’m upset. My husband has been amazing, but he doesn’t have any family that we could lean on ever. I’m torn between going fully no contact between my siblings who enable my sister, my mother who is emotionally abusive and enables her and doesn’t protect the rest of us, and calling it a day. Or going no contact with siblings, low contact with my mother, and never returning until they get their shit together and go to therapy. I just don’t know what is best anymore since I know my mom will never stand up to her. Family is all I’ve ever really had outside a close knit group of 3 friends, so it’s hard to go from everything to nothing in the blink of an eye.
Ever since my dad died and my sister took over, I have felt like I don’t have a spot in the family anymore. My sisters best friend of 15 years has always wanted to be apart of our big family since she had a dysfunctional one herself, and joins us on family vacations, Christmas, every waking moment. She is just as bad as my sister, and my sister is her only friend so she bows down to her. Since dad died, it’s like my sister and her friend don’t want me in the family and want to give the bff my daughter spot and to ostracize me. All of this is making me spiral and spiral and spiral. I haven’t been this bad mentally in a really, REALLY long time and it’s triggering me a lot.
I feel like as a woman, I’m held to a different caliber than the others. My brothers could do whatever they damn well please, and they do, and everyone turns a blind eye. With my sister being the oldest, she gets the same treatment. I am overwhelmed with what this family puts me through. My husband doesn’t have any family anymore for us to lean on, spend holidays with, etc. How do you move on? How do you find peace? How do you be okay with the fact nothing will ever change in this dynamic so it’s all or nothing?
FWIW - have an amazing therapist, amazing support group. Am ok, just sad and upset.

2024.05.21 11:51 Klutzy2627 AITA FOR GETTING MY BROTHER IN LAW'S SISTER AND HER FRIEND KICKED OUT FROM THE WEDDING

It was my cousin sister's wedding and we are Indians, so if you are Indian or know Indian friends/weddings, you know the drill - the daysss long wedding events, the heavy dresses and jewelry, and also, some serious family dramas.
My cousin and I are very close even if there is a huge age gap between us. Naturally, when her wedding came around I was very excited and I helped a lot with the planning and decoration and the food - literally everything. It was exactly as we have imagined her wedding to be like. Just perfect in every way possible. But again, it's a wedding. How is a wedding ever complete with a Drama Llama? So dear potato community, here is the tea.
The man that my cousin was marrying to, my current BIL, is an amazing man who has been with my cousin since their college days. They were friends in their college days and when they started working they joined the same company so they remained close to each other. Friendship turned into love and they decided to date and eventually get married. Both the families were informed and everyone was very happy with their decisions, except just one person. BIL's sister. She didn't have any personal problems with my cousin, her only issue was that her best friend liked my BIL, let's name this friend the 'idiot' (because she truly is an idiot and this is honestly the nicest word I can use for her).
When idiot found out that BIL loved someone else and is getting married, she went ballistic. She has been trying to get his attention for so many years and he didn't even turn towards her even for one day and he was being head over heels for my cousin. I understand her being upset, I have been a girl in love and in heartbreak too, but I wouldn't try to break someone's marriage because of my heartbreak.
Yes she tried to stop their marriage via BIL's sister. The two forged all types of absurd accusations on my cousin and tried to anonymously sneak in the accusations in means of messages from unknown numbers to my cousin's then future FIL and MIL, to emails and even letters delivered to their doorstep. My cousin was really stressed because she thought the FIL and MIL would think the accusations are true and would stop the wedding. I told her, "don't worry sisso, I am here." (add dramatic music here and imagine a cape on my back).
My cousin's father (my maternal uncle), me and my brother first went to the FIL and MIL to let them know that all of this was false and that my cousin is innocent. We asked them for some time and that we will find proof of who has been sending them those false news and will let them know of everything and then they are free to judge and make decisions from their side. We got the permission from them and decided to get to work immediately.
One thing I forgot to mention was that BIL used to live in his own house in a different state from where his parents lived after he got a job. Before this, my cousin and BIL used to live in one town and went to college together. Once they got their jobs, they both came to my city, BIL got his own house and my cousin came to live with me. His family came to live with him when he told them that he wanted to marry so they came help him with the wedding arrangements. What's unfortunate is that the sister also brought her best friend, the 'idiot', who was in love with my BIL since she was 15 and BIL was 17.
I mentioned BIL having his own separate house in a new town because it was important to mention. Both his sister and the idiot didn't know he installed security cameras in his house and that the camera was pretty well hidden so they couldn't have noticed either. We asked BIL if we can see the camera's recordings and we saw someone early in the morning at 4 am dropping a letter. Guess who it was... THE IDIOT!! We showed it to my cousin's FIL and MIL and they cross questioned the idiot about it and she was in tears and admitted to everything. She and BIL's sister apologized for everything. They were forgiven and it was a happily ever after... or so you thought...
Everything after that was pretty peaceful, all the arrangements were made and we are now at the wedding day. My cousin was really jumpy and on her toes at all times, she was panicking so bad about everything. My brother and I had to sit her down and talk her out of her panic. She however mentioned that she was scared that idiot might try to pull up some sick stunt to ruin her wedding day. I however told to her calm down cause I wouldn't let my precious angel's wedding get ruined. I have seen enough Charlotte's videos to know that we must always have a backup plan prepared in advance in situations like this. And so I did. I collected a lot of information and evidences and kept them in place in case they come in handy.
I had my suspicions that they would do something to mess up the wedding way before it even became a thought in my cousin's mind, so I did a little research about the two. Since we all belong from the same hometown, I got in contact with my friends who still lived in the town that my cousin and my BIL used to live in. I asked around about these two baboons and found out that BIL's sister had a boyfriend and has even slept with him. Premarital smex is a big no no here. As for the idiot, I found out that she was slowly getting BIL's sister into illegal substances and into becoming a call girl. Again, a big no no. And I think no parent in this world would want their child to do something that would end up in trouble for them and the child as well. I knew my cousin's FIL and MIL would be worried about their daughter and take actions immediately if I let them know of this. I would have told them this after the wedding was over anyway, but that would have been in private so no one else would know, but I guess the girls wanted something else.
Once the wedding ceremony started and the guests were all there, they were enjoying, everyone was having fun and giving their blessings to the new husband and wife to be. These two pain in the asses were going around and gossiping about my cousin to everyone. We noticed that, and we came up with a quick solution. I asked two of my male friends, who is very attractive to go and talk to the girls. However I told them to switch on their recorder and be with them no matter what. God bless my two friends, they did exactly what I told them without thinking twice. They came to me after an hour or so and told me what was going on.
The two girls were planning to ruin her wedding dress. When I tell you that shit was costly, IT WAS COSTLY. It was really heavy with all the heavy stone work that was done on the cream colored lehenga and if it was stained it would be ruined. We could not afford that in any cost. She was taking a glass of juice from the juice counters and tried sitting right behind the bride but I stepped in and told her to go sit behind her brother and that I would sit behind my cousin. She was trying so hard but me and my brother kept pushing her off and away from my cousin. Eventually she did manage to throw it but it accidentally landed on someone from the groom's side and she got scolded by her. While her grumpy face was funny to see, I still had enough because if that aunty wasn't there, it would have been my cousin. After the wedding was over and people were going to start taking the photos with the couple, I announced that me and my brother had some things to say. Initially we talked about the bride and the groom but then we shifted the attention to the groom's sister and her friend. We played the audios of the calls I had with her friends in the hometown as a surprise to the groom's sister. There were a lot of angry faces, some on the sister and some on me and my brother. I tried to explain, that had she and her friend not try to ruin my cousin sister's wedding dress, this wouldn't have been broadcasted to the entire wedding venue. I then called my two male friends and both of their faces was in gasps. Both of them pulled out their phones and I played the recordings on one of the phones, which explained how they were still spreading fake news about my cousin and also them planning to ruin my cousin's dress. We also got the video recording of them actively trying to throw the red colored drink on my cousin's dress.
Both of them got kicked out from there and weren't allowed to enter until the rest of the ceremony was over. Both of them stood outside, making attempts to convince anyone who would listen to them and let them in, but no one paid heed to them. Once everyone got home they were scolded badly and my BIL's sister kept screaming at me that I was so mean and rude to have their truths exposed to not just her family, but to every relative and friends who was there to witness the show. While my cousin was glad that I had her back and my brother is standing in support of me, my parents and some of our relatives think that it should have dealt within the family and shouldn't have been exposed to anyone outside of the immediate family members. AITA?
Note: I am so sorry if the post ended up being too long but I just wanted to give all the context that would be required to judge the entire situation and my actions as well. Also if something doesn't make sense just blame it on my sleepy head cause I wrote it in half sleep mode.

2024.05.21 08:37 somedevchick I (41F) kicked my alcoholic husband (39M) out.

Ihave been with my husband for just shy of 14 years. This is going to be a long one so strap in. There’s some nuance.
He is an alcoholic and struggles with other addictions like porn, marijuana, caffeine, nicotine, etc. if it can raise the dopamine level he is hooked onto it.
Going into our relationship I had a 4 year old with a previous abusive partner who had abandoned her when I finally broke off he relationship. My husband and my daughter bonded and I felt led to pursue a relationship with him. Before we got married I found out he was sneaking around and drinking so about 4 months prior to the wedding I gave him an ultimatum that he had to stop drinking and under the agreement that he would never return to it or it would be the end of our marriage. (This was a boundary I set for myself and I gave him an out of the relationship if he could not adhere to my boundary. I come from a family with a lot of alcoholism issues and my husband watched me mourn my uncle who died from complications of alcoholism). He agreed and he was sober from alcohol for 12 years.
Throughout our marriage other issues bubbled up. He never complimented me, he rarely initiated any physical intimacy. He would sit on the opposite side of the couch and he wouldn’t cuddle me or hold my hand. There was little to no affection unless I initiated it. I told him many times that that’s what I need to feel loved, and literally for a decade+ I would cry every few months and beg for that attention and he would get better for a week or two and then fall back to old habits.
I stayed because overall he is a good man, he is kind and he is a great father. Having come from a severely abusive relationship not getting the affection I craved felt like it wasn’t a deal breaker. Since my world was skewed by violence. My husband was never violent and didn’t yell at me or verbally abuse me. So I thought it was worth trying to stay.
Nearly 3 years ago we had a son. And my husband suffered a back injury that ended his career - so we decided he would be a stay at home dad until he healed or until our son got into school. I made enough money to support us so it was fine. Except he fell into a depression - I got him into therapy and on meds but he just wasn’t the same. I could tell he hated being a stay at home dad and I encouraged him during the last 3 years he’s been home to pursue hobbies, interests and potential new careers. He hasn’t. I encouraged him to spend time with friends and get out of the house - he hasn’t.
Things got a bit better when he got medicated - but he was struggling still with hiding and sneaking around with different addictions. He would start one quit another… t got to the point that between his depressive state, inability and unwillingness to find anything to make him feel more fulfilled and his lack of attention to me and our marital bond, I asked for a co-parenting marriage.
I told him I wanted to end our romantic relationship so I could pursue outside relationships to get my intimacy needs met (and he was free to do the same) and we would stay together cohabitating for the sake of the kids especially our daughter who we had planned to move across country for so she can attend her dream college. He took a few days to think about it and came back to me with only concerns about what it meant for him financially speaking. I assured him I’d still take care of him while he figured out what he wanted to be doing with his life. Since he was primary caretaker of our son I told him I’d do whatever it took to ensure he was set. He agreed to have the co-parenting marriage, he told me he really hopes I find what I need and that he’s been unable to provide me and gave me his blessing to date. and we informed our families together as a united front. I thought things would be ok from there. This was in March.
I will preface this next bit by saying we have always had an open phone rule because of my trust issues from the many times over the years he’s broken my trust by hiding another addiction. And also because he has a hard time expressing himself and doesn’t talk to me. I couldn’t get a read on what he was thinking about this new arrangement and he (as usual) was not talking to me / expressing his feelings. So I peeked at his texts hoping to get a look into his mindset. This was absolutely wrong and I own this (I owned it to him too). I hoped to find that he was telling someone that he loved me and didn’t any the open marriage cause he just wasn’t expressing that to me with his actions. Instead I found him vilifying me to his siblings claiming basically he had no money and wasn’t allowed to do anything and I was dating already. None of this was true - he even had an allowance for his personal spending in his own account.
That kind of brought our relationship to a head and I confronted him about it. He claims he was venting I told him venting is one thing but these were lies that effectively made his siblings dislike me. I told him after that I could no longer agree to live together long term and that once we moved out of state he had to find a job and get his own place.
This was a couple weeks ago. Fast forward to last week he came to me basically concerned that we should stay together cause we are going to need each others and he has fears about becoming homeless. I told him he just wants to continue to benefit from my salary and the life it has afforded him. So I told him it’s not going to happen.
Now, Saturday morning he was out with a friend and I took my son on a morning walk. He does this same walk with my husband often. They go to the store across the street and my son gets an apple. So we go into the store and my toddler makes a beeline for the apples and it was cute - but then he takes me to the liquor department and hands me a fifth of vodka and looks at me all proud of himself for it. At first I was laughing but then realized oh no… there has to be a reason for this. I noted the vodka was $6.99, and the apple was $1, so I checked the bank account and there were 8 transactions for $8 and some change from the last month.
So my son and I walked home and when my husband got home I told him the story of what our son did and asked if he had something to confess. He started sharing and told me that yes he had returned to drinking. I calmly told him he needs to leave and waited for a few hours while he got his stuff together and arranged for his parents to pick him up. I told him he is not welcome on the move and he has to find his own way to the new state if he wants to be with the kids.
It’s been 2 days and I’ve been crying non stop because my family has completely been destroyed and now I’m a work from home mom of 2 with a toddler who requires a lot of attention. I’m on my own and I’m so angry with him. My heart is broken for my children. My daughter is devastated, my son is confused.
Did I do the right thing? I have an emergency appt with my therapist tomorrow - but I’m struggling with guilt because of my role in this since I couldn’t be happy with his lack of ambition and lack of intimacy had I just sucked it up maybe my family would still be ok. But then I know it’s bs because he involved our son in his addictions which I almost kicked him out for taking him to a headshop when he was 1 - he knew that was a boundary.
How would you handle this situation? Did I do the right thing?

2024.05.21 06:56 Apprehensive_Earth46 🥰 Happy Updates

I’ve posted a few times about one of my relationships and received great insight from y’all! Thank you 🙏🏻
Since my last post, my partner and I have experienced some plot twists that led to him being gone much longer than either of us expected or desired. He had family obligations that he really needed to attend to.
It’s been about five weeks since we’ve seen each other, and it’s been tough! However, I’ve taken much of the advice here to heart. We’ve used this time to communicate more clearly about our needs, find other ways to stay connected, and the current arrangement gave us several days of uninterrupted time together before he left. This allowed us to confirm that we truly enjoy spending sustained time together. 😅
All to say, it feels so good to be in love with such an awesome human. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more respected and heard. I can express discomfort and be met with genuine empathy, while trusting him to maintain his boundaries.
This summer has been challenging, but we’re making it. I’m going to meet him at the end of this week to attend a relative’s wedding and meet his extended family. I’ve been a bit nervous about this, but it feels fun, aligned, and true for us. I’m just really happy that we each get to prioritize the other in the ways we can.
There was part of me kinda holding back about the “seriousness” of the relationship because of many things (fear of big feeling mostly tbh) but the truth is that I’d totally be traveling or going to weddings with monogamous partners of 9-10 months. And it feels good to honor this relationship in the same way, and be totally surprised by the fact that it’s available.
I attribute his incredible relationship skills to his 20+ years of practicing polyamory. And all the work I’ve done too! Wow it feels so good to live such a balanced life- I continue dating others and am still seeking my own partner with NP potential. I also told my parents about everything which is truly wild.
Feeling blessed by the polyamory gods. Receiving gifts the more I let go of control and allow things to work out as they will. 🙌🏻

2024.05.21 05:48 Rich-Chip5399 Help I’m stuck in the middle!

I am a professional florist and wedding planner (25 years). I am also the stepmother to a son who is to be married. Twist to this story… they are early twenties and expecting… so a wedding has been planned for a few weeks from now. I initially spoke with MOB AND MOG who both do not live close to where event will take place. It’s to be a small event at a small local church. From the beginning both bio moms have stated they cannot afford to host wedding. Great. We can and I have the means to do so at cost. Everything the bride wanted she has sent to me (we get along very well) but I have also sent the invitation that was designed as well as flower inspiration photos to mothers and spoke to each on the phone at length. Well invites have gone out, I’ve paid for everything except her dress and grooms cake, secured church, minister they chose and photographer. MOB received an invitation in the mail today (because bride wanted her to have as a memento) and she LOST IT ON ME. Stating proper etiquette says the parents names should be on the invite… but my stepson and fiancé wanted just their names since I (the stepmom) am essentially hosting it and we will have a printed program at the wedding with parent names. So to sum this up the MOB who explicitly told me she couldn’t pay for even a small affair has texted everyone in a group message saying how inappropriate the invite was and that she will not be pushed to the side at her own daughters wedding. Although let me remind you she cannot afford to pay for anything. She has demanded that I send her pricing for everything for her to “approve” it from this point forward. The wedding is in two weeks. Everything is ordered and done. I just have to work my magic with flowers and food (which I can do at cost). Essentially I have been slapped in the face. Reduced to a hired hand. I have consulted with the BRIDE on everything and received her approval because I AM PAYING FOR IT. I don't feel the need to consult with her mother on every detail because they don’t have the best relationship and it’s not her wedding! Should I just back out of everything and let her come up with what she can? I am afraid the bride will not stand up to her mother and I feel extremely hurt and blindsided. I have spent thousands that I cannot get back. I am of the impression that if you are young and pregnant, cannot afford a wedding and neither can your family… that this is a gift and a blessing! And I have done all this from a pure heart. I love them both! Right now I do not know what to do because the MOB is literally being manipulative and controlling. And she is doing it publicly. I refuse to send someone the bills for things I have already paid for knowing she will never pay for them! Am I right to think she just wants all the credit but for me to foot the bill? And labor? I need suggestions on how to handle this.

The Uncompromising Blissful Extravagance of His Presence! Inbox
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - November 10, 2022
Dear Mighty One,
I see the Lord's eye upon us we discover by revelation the 'new thing' He is doing in our lives and of those of us who, beyond the present darkness, gaze into His eyes. The 'tuning fork' of Yahweh is orchestrating the sons and daughters of our living God in growing holy remnant unity to withstand as we stand with Him fearlessly in the boldness of the faith of God in this hour. Egypt is behind us, and the covenantal promises and prophetic words we have received (1 Tim. 1:18) empower us by His Holy Spirit to advance in warfare, humbly growing in the spirit of wisdom and revelation.

Yesterday as I encouraged some friends, I said, 'stay in the blissful extravagance of His presence.' Today I saw in Psalm 34 His eyes are upon us in vs. 8 & 9 and v:15 about the 'uncompromisingly righteous.' We are to be holy as He is holy. That leaves no room for any more compromise or seeking to please man or the traditions of men, being free of the fear of man, the religious spirit, and any demonic activity. We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Lord, help us understand by revelation to walk in all the authority we have been given by Jesus Christ.
Psalm 34:8-9 'O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.'
v. 15 'The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.'

Prophetic Encouragement for 2022 by Jorge Parrott
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - January 02, 2022

Prophetic Encouragement for 2022 By Jorge Parrott (all scriptures NKJV) (Graphic art by Nancy G. Daniel) Despite the impending wars, division, chaos, calamity, and deceptive controls we hear the voice of our Lord at times speaking, or roaring, or whispering, and breathing on the sons of God. Are we listening yet? Heaven’s roar is clear to those with an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Living God is saying. This year holds untold opportunities, many answered prayers, and the cries of many hearts if we arise to walk obediently in His fullness, not growing weary in well-doing, nor fainting in the heat of this fiery battle. Deut. 6:4 ‘ The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.’ Jesus was asked many questions.

Highlights Of Our Amazing Trip To The Holy Land With Chris Reed And Bart Peacher
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - July 19, 2022

Highlights Of Our Amazing Trip To The Holy Land With Chris Reed And Bart Peacher Prov. 16:9 ' A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.' We are continually blessed and in awe of how the Lord breathes and moves in our lives. As we press into the high calling of Jesus Christ and we grow in intimacy and trust by faith, His love, grace, and mercy unfold in surprising ways. I had not been to Israel since 2017. So much has changed in the world since then as we see the tremendous acceleration of the times and seasons. Chaos, control, and corruption are increasing at an alarming rate. Our only hope is in Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Divine Encounters Abound As We Are Led By Holy Spirit And Make Ourselves Available Many churches are led by their pursuit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil instead of the knowledge of the Tree of Life.

2024.05.21 01:36 LanguageOk5504 AITAH for suggesting therapy to my partner after she gave wild ultimatum?

My civil partner and I are moving abroad from 2 different countries so have been apart for few weeks after there was some delays with our visa process.
We got our civil partnership last year but actually changed our mind and would like to get married eventually, ideally within next 2 years. Only issue is we're completely broke after the industry my career is in completely collapsed while my partner took a sabbatical. We're essentially economic migrants now which neither of us planned or wanted.
Fortunately we're literally a few days away from moving back together in our new home country after acquiring visa. My partner has persistently been asking about marriage for the past 8 weeks, she is jealous of her younger brother who recently married. I have been quite frank and said that we can discuss when we arrive in our new country and both get jobs and stable income. I want us to have a nice wedding, nice engagement ring, and we need money for it - we have none because I lost my career for the better part of a year.
Her parents offered to pay for the wedding, I said I need to think about it because my mind is completely overwhelmed by my career situation. It was clear I am not against marriage, we regularly talk about the future.
Anyway, today she told me quite plainly: "I am going to get married in Feb 2026, whether it is with you or somebody else." She had been making remarks doubting our partnership here and there for quite a few weeks up to this. But I have always affirmed my life long commitment to her, I have never doubted our future together and I think we're both smart enough and have the tools to notice something is wrong and to fix it with a bit of effort - you know, a civil partnership. We both seemed to be on same page that the next step is to just get back together physically after being removed from eachother when we didn't want that.
Anyway, her comment really upset me and she immediately apologised for it. Afterwards, for the first time I finally said that I think it's wise we spend more time together working on things before we get married. I suggested therapy as part of this but she refused and says it's basically pseudoscience quackery. Suddenly I am being accused of being controlling asshole by putting a condition on us getting married. Now she want a dissolution after I put a condition on us getting married. (After she just told me she's thought about marrying other people but didn't really mean it?)
I feel like I've not been talking to the same person since she said that. Completely blindsided me. The distance between us has been painful, and neither of us wanted this to happen. She has been financially supporting us in the meantime, but I am in a field with guaranteed high 6 digit salary for life after a certain point so finance isn't really an issue long term. Definitely a crunch atm though and she's been a blessing.
I don't think I'm the asshole because I think any person with any amount of self-respect would be reconsidering their civil partnership after hearing such a remark. (She later told me that it was indeed meant as an ultimatum)
Am I the asshole for putting my foot down here? She makes me feel like I am being unreasonable and controlling and I honestly just don't know anymore. It's been a stressful year.
Edit: tl;dr - partner gave ultimatum for marriage date, i suggested we need more time together and therapy, is that controlling?

2024.05.21 00:05 Such_Patient_7128 Clancy, a partial review

Firstly I want to acknowledge this is In my opinion less than half of the whole story of Clancy. We are a blessed fan base to consistently get incredible music videos and we get another 10! 11? Who knows. I'm also going to not divulge into any major information, because if you didn't hear it yet I respect you.
Overcompensate- a banger, we've all heard it, it stackable right up with jumpsuit and heavydirtysoul. I love this song, the MV goes hard 10/10
Next Semester- made me cry the first time I heard it. Is an absolute banger, I love the punky TOP and we will see that again through this album. 10/10
Backslide- another big banger, just hit after hit. I love the beat, I loved the MV. 10/10
Minor Spoilers ahead.
Midwest Indigo- Again, I love it when top goes punk, this is like Next Semesters best friend. The "Time To Pretend" style intro is so glammy I love it. It also reminds me of ollld style TOP 10/10
Also at this point I want to acknowledge how amazing Josh's drumming is on this record, and I think his direct in person acoustic sound being gone is a part of what made SAI sound so different
Routines In The Night- A heavy beat, a super catchy chorus. In my opinion this song is very lore heavy and I won't elaborate much else until Friday. VERY excited for the MV. 10/10
Also can we appreciate just how incredible the songwriting is from these two. Like these are all perfect songs that could be played on any radio station from alt to pop. I listen to music from very much a producing standpoint, and this record stands out like Trench did
Vignette- Oh my this is a song, again I think very lore heavy and the MV will show this. I ADORE the use of organic sounds in the beginning. A heavy hitter all around, but that chorus is just something else. Very much not a normal pop chorus which I know goes against my previous point lol. There's some lyrics in here that I'm excited to see get picked apart. Also the chorus has those OLD Tyler notes and I love that. 10/10 for us, probably an 8/10 for regular people.
The Craving(JV)- If you like this band, and this song doesn't make you cry.... idk man. This one's a real treat and its so raw, and sweet. A true wedding song. 9/10
Lavish- A statement for sure. Weird all around, very trippy and entrancing, lyrically a LOT like Mulberry Street. Some very fun lyrics that are making quite a stir. My fav part is the verse at the end, the one in question, very similar song structure to The Outside. 8.5/10
Navigating- My personal favourite off the whole record and I think a lot of people will say that. I love that Tyler plays the guitar now, it really amplified this record. Very TOP, it reminds me a bit like Shy Away on a much higher frequency. This song has the potential to go big big. Feature this in a movie or something boys. This could be a 1B+ stream song. 11/10
Snap Back- I adore this song, I love when i am directly approached, 4th wall breaking. I love the self referential lines. I love the consistent increase in tempo but it's still relaxing. I love the moral of it. It's not a lot of people's favorites, but these last two are my favourite part of the album so I'm still giving it a 10/10
Oldies Station- This is my second favourite on the whole record. Its a really refreshing song, a beautiful song in my opinion. Like Good Day if it was genuinely positive. The cadence of the verses. The wavy bass. If you truly hate this song, I don't think you want to be happy lol. I also think that different generations of fans are gonna take this album in different ways. This song fits the Legend slot in my head. 10/10.
At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb- A prime example of Beat = 😊 lyrics = 😔. A super fun song, this is the moment that I found the whole band sound really came together. My 3rd favourite on the record. The most important message. Fits the Not Today and Neon Gravestones and Redecorate vibes, lyrically. A perfect closer to the record. 10/10
Paladin Strait- I am not going to say much about this song, I feel like this song is a major point in this story. I love it sonically, it is almost haunting. Friday cannot come fast enough for this one. ?/10

2024.05.20 23:14 eowynladyofrohan83 A long insane story from my life…

Growing up my siblings and I were abused in various ways and there was also blatant favoritism shown for some siblings.
This post is going to be long. What’s important is there’s going to be a bunch of examples of our parents ruining fun in the name of “inclusion,” then allowing some of the worst exclusion ever.
Homeschooling parents are so creative in the nonsensical reasons they come up with for depriving their children of fun. Because we didn’t get to create social groups at school, my brother and I decided we wanted to have a club. Our dad got angry and originally said if we were going to have one then anybody in or outside our house had to be allowed in it, then later he outright forbade it at all AND forbade us from ever ASKING to create one!
About a couple years or so down the road our little sister decided she was going to have a club and not a peep from our father. One night our dad overheard my brother and me talking angrily and his gut told him we were talking about him. He asked and we pointed out the double standards with the club. Our dad got that wild narcissistic look in his eyes like, “How dare you be brave enough to address the forbidden white elephant in the room!” He said, “Because she was treated different!” In a sarcastic tone. Then he said, “Y’all don’t even WANT to know what I’m thinking about right now!” Basically we were supposed to be afraid of some severe punishment for bringing up the hypocrisy and not expect his rules to be logical or fair.
Once we had relatives fly in to visit from across the country. The family spent a few nights at our house but they also stayed elsewhere for a few nights also. It was a couple and their teenage daughter and I was also a teenage girl. They invited me to spend the night with them and have fun with their daughter. My little sister was nine years old. I was forced to include her in our teenage sleepover! I have heard from other people that that was completely inappropriate and that my parents should have found a way to entertain her while I was spending the night. I have heard an example from a completely different family where little sister was only 3 & 1/2 years younger than big sister and she was still told she was too little so mom and little sister did something fun just the two of them. I am about 6 & 1/2 years older than my sister in this story!
Not only did we have to censor our teenage conversations for a little kid, but she wasn’t even grateful! She had a sour look on her face most of the time and whined about things.
A lot of people commenting on the sleepover story said they just thought it was an example of my parents being too lazy to entertain my sister, but I think it was much more sinister than that. My gut was screaming that it was a way to “put me in my place,” and be like, “You just THOUGHT you were going to have a good time but you thought wrong!” By the way, my dad said, “You’ll be blessed for it!” It’s important for everyone to remember this nauseating inappropriate comment for later.
My brother was approximately twelve and he got a Nintendo 64. Our little brother was approximately four years old. My brother was never given the chance to be a good big brother and offer to share and play with little brother. Our dad immediately jumped in and demanded he let little brother play. There was a huge deal made and our dad lied to extended family about it. Once my little brother was playing the Nintendo so much that my aunt, my dad’s sister, told my dad that lil bro needed to do schoolwork instead of playing the Nintendo so much. My dad got so angry and told me he was at the same level of reading that I was at the same age. This is a load of bs because I know for a fact his reading comprehension at age seven was a train wreck and far behind mine at age five. Also, our dad had yelled at our mom for failing to teach him to read on time. He constantly changed the story and moved the goalposts to fit an agenda. In order to be a good liar you need to have a good memory!
Once my brother had loaned his Nintendo to some friends who were brothers and our dad screamed at him that he had loaned it to friends where little brother couldn’t play it. Imagine having so little agency over your own alleged birthday present that you can’t even loan it to friends because little brother needs to monopolize it at all times.
Ok so here’s the main part of the story to tie everything together…
As most of our lives were/are, as strict homeschoolers you’re not allowed to do hardly anything. If we obeyed all the rules and never snuck around, we would be a pack of 50-year-old virgins.
I started earning my own living, moved out of my parents’ home, and immediately got a boyfriend they didn’t approve of. There were huge screaming fights with my parents over the phone. The man and I eloped but then he filed for divorce before I could get my stuff moved to his home and actually live there full time. The guy was probably a predator but that was my parents’ fault for driving my self-worth into the dirt.
My sister, the one I was forced to include in the sleepover, got married after my ex was out of the picture and I had no contact with him. She got married and was allowed to exclude me from her bridal party even though she had both other sisters plus a few friends as bridesmaids. My aunt who is my mom’s sister knew that if the roles had been reversed and I tried to exclude all but one sister that all hell would have broken loose. She knew my dad would have refused to pay for the wedding. My cousin spoke up for me and said my sister was going to look like an ass for having the other two sisters but not me. My dad was furious and excluded her from attending the wedding just for saying that. It was the typical narcissist rage where they’re so furious at people for being brave enough to stand up to them. He said, “This is [sister’s] day! Everybody better behave!” When everybody knew if I had a wedding he was paying for he wouldn’t have gone on about it being my day, he would have said I had to include my sister or he wouldn’t pay for it!
This part is absolutely nuts. I was literally invited to the bridesmaids’ luncheon! I normally worked an extra job on Saturdays but I took off to come to the luncheon. My sister had just kicked a girl out for trivial reasons and I was hoping I was being asked to be the replacement. This was at my aunt’s house (dad’s sister) and she had a window seat type shelf near the entrance to her house with the gifts. As I entered I counted six gifts. There were five bridesmaids. I was seated at the table with the bride and the bridesmaids. That’s literally the only people at that table. When we were finished eating my sister distributed the gifts. I was hoping that sixth gift was for me and that she was asking me to be the other girl’s replacement. It turns out she had bought a gift for herself!!!!
My eyes welled up with tears. When I finally got home I cried for hours and hours, probably about eight hours. From bright daylight until the wee hours of the morning.
Later my cousin’s mom told my dad that it sounded like the cousin he had excluded from the wedding had gotten caught up in drama between me and my sister. He replied, “Well wherever [OP] is, drama’s not too far behind!”
If I had been the one who excluded my sister he would have said I was the one who had created the drama by excluding her. He would have said how awful and hurtful to exclude her and that she would be justified in crying about it. But since I was the one who was excluded I had created drama for crying about being left out.
Also it’s amusing how my little brother wasn’t “creating drama” for asking to play his big bro’s N64. It’s just ridiculous nonsensical rules that change depending on when he wants to favor one sibling over the other. Why was it so important that my sister’s wedding be the way she wanted even if it involved being cruel to me, but it wasn’t important for my brother’s Nintendo to be HIS Nintendo and he could gate keep who played it? Also interesting how he didn’t say the self-righteous garbage to my sister about, “You’ll be blessed for it,” by encouraging her to include me in her wedding.
My dad a couple years or so later commented that he was avoiding doing a particular favor for me because he didn’t want my sister to find out and hurt the relationship between us.
Also he inserted my sister into a conversation that has nothing to do with her and made the comment, “Now I know you don’t like [sister]…”. I would think if you were going to accuse a sibling of “not liking” the other one it would be the one who had inflicted cruelty on the other one. But he said it like I was a troublemaker for wanting to be loved and treated equally.
There was so much more hypocrisy and abuse but I’m tired writing this out and will probably just need to write a part 2.

2024.05.20 21:28 coffeetablecat WIBTA for telling my little sister she can’t remove me from my wedding photo & photoshop herself into my place?

My little sister (28f) is recently engaged. I (30 f) got married about 6 years ago (I’ve since divorced and am engaged again). Our mom died 5 years ago, shortly after my wedding.
At my wedding 6 years ago, the photographer took a photo of my mom fastening a necklace around my neck. My little sister has told multiple people that when she gets married, she plans to hire someone with graphic design skills to remove me from that photo and photoshop herself in my place. So far, I’ve said nothing, but I’ve always felt hurt by that idea and now that she is actually planning a wedding, I am wondering if I should put my foot down. At the same time, I don’t want to add to her pain either.
Background on prioritizing her feelings/wants leading up to this point: Very shortly after our mom died, all my sisters (including my older married sisters) expressed that they wanted our mom’s engagement ring. As my little sister didn’t get to have our mom at her wedding and the rest of us did get that experience, I urged my dad to hang on to our mom’s engagement ring for our little sister for when she eventually were to get engaged. Ultimately, I was successful in advocating for her to inherit our mom’s ring. Once engaged, she decided to reset the ring so the only part of it that remains is the central diamond—it is a completely different design now and is unrecognizable. We are all a bit miffed by that but what’s done is done.
Next, we both wanted to use our mom’s wedding dress in our upcoming weddings, but she plans to alter it beyond recognition as it was a long-sleeve, A-line dress and she wants a strapless, mermaid-style dress. I proposed that we each wear it but not make significant alterations, but she brought up that “I’m the only one who didn’t get to have mom at her wedding”, and I do feel for her, so I dropped my bid to wear the dress.
But at this point, I feel inclined to draw the line at removing me from my own photo with my mom. Yes, I did get to have my mom at my [first] wedding. I won’t have her at my wedding to the person I’ll be spending the rest of my life with, so I’m feeling some sadness there too. If someone is going to be photoshopping someone out of that picture, I feel it should be me photoshopping my 24 year old self out for my 31 year old self. She also has tons of photos with our mom she could use for this purpose instead, as well as photos of our mom solo that no one would need to be removed from.
Obviously I can’t force her to not do as she pleases with the photo, but WIBTA if I tell her I’m not ok with that and that she doesn’t have my permission or blessing to remove me from my wedding photo with my mom?
ETA: many people suggesting lawsuits so want to clarify that no I would not sue over this. I love my sister and don’t want to add to her grief. I’m only grappling with whether or not it’s worth it to ask her not to use my photo in this way,

2024.05.20 21:24 Opening_State_7211 Where to begin?

Hi!
Okay. Brief synopsis. I'm like mid 20s, male, no musical experience at all. I've always enjoyed singing. I think my family has a home video of me singing God bless America watching a baseball game on TV at 3, ect. In elementary school, the very few times we did things that had singing involved, I'd always be the one to have a solo, they just chose me basically.
Anyways, in passing, I've noticed things or gotten comments. Nothing really notable at any given time. Then in like the last 6 months or so, I've been a lot more active socially and it has resulted in numerous comments regarding my singing.
I made friends with a few people that actively just want me to sing along to songs when we're together. A mutual friend who introduced us literally texted me before I came over for the third time "just so you know, you're about to be the star of the show. lol." I think I hooked up with a girl bc of it? Uhh. Yeah. I was asked to take a mic and sing a song randomly at a wedding (I refused, we will get to that). Ect.
I'd say like 90% of these interactions are females, which has probably been part of the reason I brush them off, but through those friends, I was with them with a large group of their friends, most of whom I didn't know where this like 30 year old dude came over to me and commented.
More recently, both my parents have made comments, notably of which like 3 years ago, my dad (constantly aloof) said in passing that I couldn't sing. That's more bc he'd like never heard me sing but at the time it hurt a little LOL.
I was in the car with him a few weeks ago singing along quietly (like yk, not really how I'd actually sing) and he made a comment saying I sound just like whoever (I mimic singers in general, so in the last 5 months people have told me I sound like Harry Styles, post Malone, Benson boone, and noah kahan, soooooooo yeah dk bout that). I used this to sing a bit more free and then he asked me about if I'd do better on American Idol or Survivor and my whole family thinks I'd be good at shows of the Survivor ilk, and I just laughed. I told this to my younger sister (who also can sing at least competently) joking ab it and she said American Idol (which is just a bad take bc 99% of the battle with Survivor is just getting on the show, where American idol you have to legit beat thousands to do anything relevant.)
Then the other day I was in the car with my parents and my mom was like "can't you just make a song?" (LOL no.) And then was talking about my singing to my dad.
All this to say that, look. I love to sing BUT I don't think I'm that good. If I record myself (no tech help at all bc idk wtf I'd even do), I just do not like it. I have so many issues that bother me. I will say, I can admit I'm a perfectionist and I think this about basically everyone that I've ever heard playing at a ba restauraunt on a Thursday night. I will be sitting there like eh, not great, basically every time.
This leads me to multiple questions
How do I deal with this? What do I do? What would you guys do?
Should I get a vocal coach? How can I get like legitimate feedback and help. How can I really tell like where I'm at? Let's say I'm actually the beat singer alive (I'm 10000000% not) but wtf do I even do if that's the case?
I could easily sing in front of people, I love singing and I'm not nervous at all. I actually think I would have pretty good stage presence (just like comfortable, relaxed). However, like I said, I just don't think I'm that good and I don't want to go in front of random people and sing and be like oh look at me when I don't even feel like I'm that good. That's why I would've never sung at that wedding. Those poor people didn't sign up to listen to this random sing a song. LOL.
Anyways, yeah. All suggestions ideas, advice here helps.
Appreciate it in advance

Boruto Boudican Ch.37 part 3
Meanwhile Ehou was upset, and William Wallace was shocked.
"What do you remember?" asked William Wallace.
"It is all blank, it happened so fast." Said Ehou. "If this is what it means to be a Boudican than-?"
"What, you just want to be a Shinobi?" said William Wallace. "Do you really think there is no killed or be killed rule for a warrior."
"I just-I can't, it is too much." Cried Ehou. "At first, I wanted to be a Shinobi, like everyone looks up to Naruto..."
"He may be a hero to the Leaf, and his allies." Said William. "But he is demon to his enemies, especially in Boudica, also Shinobi do kill."
Ehou looked down on the ground.
"What would my mom think, is this why she hid my father from me?" said Ehou
"I don't know." Said William Wallace. "But there is one thing, you must know."
William Wallace put his hands on Ehou's shoulders.
"Get a grip, you swore an oath to the band of Macduff." Said William. "You were given power, now you have a responsibility to use it."
"SOME ONE HELP!!!!!" cried a voice.
William Wallace and Ehou hide behind a small hill.
They looked across the and saw a village, where they saw a bunch of armed men with blue arm bands.
"Please sir, we given you everything we have." Said a crying villager.
"Don't lie to me?" said one of the bandits in samurai armor, most likely the leader. "Or do you really think you'd value your possessions over your lives."
"What are you waiting for, help them, you've done this before." Said Ehou, in shock.
"What if I'm frightened what if I don't want the act of killing on my soul." Said William.
"But-bu.." stuttered Ehou.
"Think, Think." Said William. "This is a test brought forth by God! Will you cower, or will you be brave."
"If you won't tell me the truth." Said the bandit leader.
"The Leaf will hear of this." Said a young girl.
"Oi, boss." Said one thug. "I think that was threat."
"Well, little miss mayor, Koharu?" said the bandit leader sarcastically. "Our contact told us of a booty, and we out to have it, and this trash does not equal the booty promised to us.
"Boss I have an idea." Said a thug and whispered into the leader's ear.
"Oh, great idea." Said the bandit leader. "Let's start drowning people into the rivers, that ought to make them talk."
"No please!" cried one.
"You can't, we've given you everything you've have." Shouted another in desperation.
"You can't do this!" cried Koharu.
"Try and stop us then." Gloated the bandit leader.
The Bandits proceeded to grab people, some tried to fight back but got taken down by one punch due to the strength of each bandit.
"I-I can't, what will my mother think?" said Ehou in despair.
"Good question!" said William Wallace. "What would she think if you let a bunch of people die."
William Wallace's voice spoke deeper than ever.
"If you won't save them." Said William. "Who will?"
https://preview.redd.it/sgayvdyjtl1d1.png?width=641&format=png&auto=webp&s=647a8590292e48373c92b6d6bfe4c6381dbaa4f4
All at once, everything was a haze for Ehou.
The Bandit Leader looked gleefully as his men forced people under water.
"Oh boy, I'm going to be rich, just little torture first." He spoke.
"Halt!" cried a voice.
The voice came from the woods, at once everyone including the bandits looked.
Koharu, who was the young head of the small village, eyes glowed from what she saw.
There was a figure in the entrance of the woods.
She saw glowing light, from the woods, and it shined off the figure's armor.
An armor she had never seen before, with shiny sword, metal helm, metal ring tunic, with a white one on top and a red shield within a red shield for a shield.
https://preview.redd.it/wbnskayltl1d1.png?width=724&format=png&auto=webp&s=07d4ad622f84e1dbd97c11ac2782dd4b8ab0f302
"I shall Face you, Scum!" said the armored figure, the voice echoed within the helm, it sounded like a boy's voice mixed with the fury of damnation.
The bandit leader looked on gleefully.
"Boss, he insulted you." Said a Bandit subordinate. "Let's surround him and rip him to shreds, that cocky metal boy."
The Bandit leader only smiled.
"Oh, Jigoku, I think I will take him alone." Said the Bandit leader, he then pointed his katana at the metal boy's armor. "See look at his apparel, if we ganga up on him, we will destroy his expensive armor, which could sell for great profit intact in the underworld market."
The Bandit leader smiled grimly.
He then jumped into the flowing river standing in it shin deep. The river was flowing into a waterfall, yet the bandit's strength made it, so he was as still as a mountain.
"Alright, metal boy, lets duel one on one, with the river as our field." Said the Bandit leader.
saw that the metal boy was hesitant, but nonetheless jumped into the river, also maintaining his form.
"I'm Daku, leader of the Blue Bands." Said Daku.
"I am-." Said the metal boy.
"Don't care, I'll forget the moment, I kill you." Interrupted Daku, lunging his katan for a swing at Ehou's head.
The Ehou, the metal boy,'s head was flooded with thoughts.
Ehou, not thinking straight in his first real battle, saw it and out of instinct, blocked it with his sword.
A large clash between the swords put water up in the air, making it rain, and blew trees like hard wind.
"Interesting!" said Daku, grinning.
With great speed like light, he started swing faster,
Water from the river shot up like it was raining hard backwards.
Ehou, amazedly kept with the katana with his sword and shield parrying.
"This is what it means to kill or be killed." Thought Ehou.
To Ehou, Wallace had taught him many things about his mysterious heritage, that they both shared as half Boudicans.
There a line between life and death, war stands at that line.
Ehou, now stands dancing on the line between life and death.
He understood it now, all too well.
He was playing a game of chess with death, and he wasn't sure if he was winning or losing.
Nonetheless, it was a magical and thrilling drug, is this why Boudicans enjoy war?
"I'm idiot." Thought Ehou. "Why am I so focused on Blocking, I am wearing armor!"
Ehou then swung up with his sword.
Daku blocked it desperately, his katana cracked, he then maneuvered and hit Ehou twice with it, each blow causing a shock wave that put water over the trees, like that they were being flooded.
Daku with his katana, struck Ehou on his side with no shield, and on his shoulder, nothing.
They hurt Ehou but only like a small punch.
Ehou took the initiative, he shield bashed Daku's knees, and knocked him off balance.
Now Ehou has had enough of Daku's face, so he stabbed it.
Right through the mouth, thought the head, with such force, it launched Daku's helmet into the air, and if fell into the water, and floated down stream like a paper made boat.
There was shock among everyone, including Ehou.
This was the second man Ehou had killed in his life, but this man deserved it.
"He killed the boss!" yelled a thug. "Gang up on him!"
To Ehou's surprise, the bandits were not cowards, despite picking on weaker people.
Everything now was a Haze, it no longer rained water upwards from the river, but blood.
These men were much weaker than their leader.
Ehou shield bashed, hacked, slashed, and stab.
The fight between Ehou and Daku was duel, this was a battle, and Ehou was a one-man army.
Gazing at his arms and skill in battle against his enemies, seeing his power through the visor of his helmet pumped his adrenaline.
An imagined memory flashed, a imagined memory he had.
It was him, a young William Wallace, playing with wooden swords and wooden shields with wooden helms.
It seems like a fun game to play with wooden swords, thus Boudican warfare was deadly game, a game where you either win or die.
During war, you are either alive or dead, to Ehou he was walking on the line in between, he felt he had risen to a new plane of existence.
The battle was now over, the bandits were gone, their bodies, or what's left of them flowed down the river, that was red with their blood.
Ehou had stepped off the line, and was now back into life, no longer was he in the plane of existence which was the line between life and death.
After his first battle, Ehou felt nauseated, so much had happened, that he not only shocked by his first battle, but that he won it as well.
He was shocked at the kind of power he wielded.
He fell backwards to rest, but instead of hitting the water, he was just falling, he was so close to the waterfall, after the battle, that he fell down it, with sword and shield in hand.
He heard the villagers call out in horror.
But Ehou couldn't make out what they were saying, but didn't care, he crashed into the pond below that the waterfall was going too.
He drifted into the water a bit, he sunk to the bottom, his head was still in a haze, nonetheless he realized he had to get out.
With his strength he swam to the surface, despite his armor weighing him down, he walked out to a rock, dripping water.
He then used the wind of his strength and body to dry himself.
Ehou heard the villagers coming to check on him, but out of instinct he hid.
He was not in the right mind to be celebrated, he wouldn't know what to say, let alone how he would react to being glorified a hero.
"Guess I understand why William is anti-social." Thought Ehou.
Ehou looked from his hidden hiding place, as the villagers looked left and right for him.
"Quick, Hiro!" ordered Koharu, "He must be under the pond, somewhere."
"I've checked." Said Hiro, who was wet from swimming. "He just disappeared."
"Miss Koharu, look here." Said a villager, pointing at the watered rock that Ehou was on.
"It is like he disappeared." Said a villager.
"It's like he is the man with wings.." Said Hiro. "While I was sailing, and catching fish in the sea, I met a sailor with a weird accent, who told how he survived drowning because his guardian angel watched over him."
"An angel?" Said Koharu.
"Either that or he was ghost." Replied Hiro. "But nonetheless, he is gone, now miss mayor we must make sure everyone is alright."
Everyone left to attend to the village problems, but not Koharu, who was still in awe by the ordeal.
Ehou was still in shock, some part of him felt shame in taking pleasure in battle, yet this was the result of his battle prowess.
This girl and her village live because of him.
He is hero now, he slayed bad men to save good innocent people.
"Who was he?" Said Koharu. 'Was he actually our guardian angel?"
Koharu stood around for a little bit, thinking.
"But I guess it doesn't matter what he is, but what he did." Said Koharu to herself.
Koharu then put her hands together in prayer for thanksgiving.
https://preview.redd.it/khgu421ptl1d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3bc87873f6f432a27e90604e001581f80af7787
"Thank you! Angel, who-ever you are?" said Koharu.
Koharu's face went red.
"Although, I wish I at least got your real name." said Kaharu.
She smiled; it was a pretty smile.
Ehou was now surprised. He was still shocked at what he did, he had slain a man, no men, living human beings, but they were evil human beings, that would have killed good ones.
They would have drowned the villagers if not for Ehou's interference.
This girl and her people are safe, because of what Ehou had done.
"I did this." Thought Ehou. "I saved them, I became a hero, by making a tough call."
Ehou continued thinking about all that happened on the way back to William Wallace
Ehou left and found William Wallace, sitting next to a boulder.
William was reading from a book.
"The breath that wafts from some blessed corner of Paradise gives sweetness to the bitterness of this region; it tempers the curse on this earth of ours. That Garden is the life-breath of this diseased world that has been so long in sickness; that breath proclaims that a saving remedy has been sent to heal our mortality." Said William.
"You really are reading poetry, while I fought for my life." Said Ehou, "Really?"
"I would be perceptive enough to know you were in trouble." Replied William.
Ehou caught his breath.
"Anyways, you were right." Said Ehou. "I see why you made me kill them, I'm just shocked such evil people exist, even today in this Peace era."
"Regardless of era, all humans are created with their own free will, they can choose to be good." Said William. "Or evil?"
"The bandit Daku, and his men would have drowned those people, and I killed all of the bandits for that." Said Ehou. "And I felt, I felt something from it, a mad crazed joy, the thrill of walking on a new plane of existence, between Life and Death, it was like an addiction."
"Boudicans enjoy warfare, plain and simple." Said William. 'Because of this, we should not let our feelings dictate our reason, or else we are no worse than mindless savage monsters."
"But there is one thing, I don't feal so good about?" said Ehou.
"What is it?" asked William.
Ehou's face was embarrassed.
"You know those generic fairy tales or romances." Said Ehou. "You know where the damsel in distress "falls in love" with the hero, after he save her."
"Yeah, in fact, some of those are the best books I have read." Replied William.
"Let's just say, I didn't think it would happen in real life." Said Ehou. "The mayor girl, I think-think she uh likes me?"
"So?" said William.
"Don't you think it's weird, like-liking someone who just saved you, and you don't even know them as a person." Said Ehou.
William Wallace closed his book.
"Well, not knowing you, maybe a bit farfetched." Said William. "I mean certain qualities of your character were on display, when you saved her and her village, for one bravery, courage, and maybe perseverance?"
Ehou thought for a second.
"I don't know, it just sounds clique, if you know what I mean." Said Ehou.
William Wallace got up.
"I think I do." Said William. "But now, I believe we should be on our way."
Ehou nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Stewart stood on guard having a drink and leaning on a tree, he watched as the girls as well as the other people of the festival danced with music and usually around the large bonfire.
There were also some people huddled at tables for drink and food, delicious food, and drink.
Stewart was quite bored, he didn't take in the festivities, unless it was with Graham, who in Stewart's mind was the outgoing nice type.
Stewart remembered how hostile these people were towards Stewart's friend William.
He understands why, but then he remembered the teaching from the Boudican Church.
"Are we not taught to forgive those who persecute us?" thought Stewart. They call themselves good Boudican Christians, oh the irony.
Plus, William had already paid for his crime, the Church pardoned him upon seeing that his sentence was too extreme.
But unfortunately, the Church has done nothing to the Boudicans treating William as an outcast.
"Ugh, why is the Church so corrupt under our current pope, maybe that is why we lost the war." Thought Stewart. "The Bodeland abbey's cardinal should be pope, he would set everything right, reform the Church, and excommunicate people who are unnecessarily cruel to William."
"Hey, Stewart." Said a voice, it was Mary Graham.
"Mary." Replied Stewart.
Mary sat next to the Stewart on the grass.
"You probably should have brought noble dancing clothes, if you wished to dance." Said Mary, in a joking voice.
"I wouldn't want to dance." Said Stewart, whose temper soured upon looking at the girls who insulted William Wallace. "Not with them, they who treat my friend and superior unjustly, after how heroically William is, they despite them and try their best to shun him."
Stewart had never gotten mad in front of Mary Graham, but now, because William was his friend, he had to defend him, despite everyone's feelings.
Feelings shouldn't dictate reason, if they did, reason would be subjective, based on the eye of the perceiver.
Mary Graham's smile died.
"Stewart, I admire that you defended your friend." Said Graham. "But understand they are hurting, just look at them."
Stewart looked at them, everyone was enjoying themselves in a peaceful time. Dancing, singing, eating, an outsider would see this as a joyous atmosphere.
"Everyone suffered in the war, everyone's still hurting." Said Mary. "Yet moments like this make them happy."
"I don't get your point." Said Stewart.
"The point is that we are part of these people, and we now have peace of as sort." Said Mary. "William, unfortunately is a grim reminder of what everyone had lost, and I know it is not fair, but they hate him, for he makes them suffer."
Mary Graham stood up.
"But I think with time the wounds could heal." Said Mary. "I believe what you say on William is true, he is a hero, he will show them, one day, I'm sure, Graham thinks the same as well."
At once, a whole crowd gathered around two people at once.
There was a bunch of murmuring, joyful murmuring around the new visitors.
"Martha, what is going on?" asked Mary.
"It's Lord Comyn!" said Martha with excitement. "He has arrived to our festival upon Mayor Taylor's request, and oh my, is that who I think it is."
"Is it the-the lady-princess Asami, Lord Comyn's fiancée?" Said Mary with surprise.
"Yes, let's go see her." Said Martha. 'She has brightest most beautiful red hair of anyone I have ever seen."
Mary ran past Martha.
Martha looked at Stewart, after Mary passed her.
"If you were Comyn, you would see the hating on Wallace is justified." She said with a stern voice.
Martha then went to join the others to see Lord Comyn and his fiancée.
Stewart poured out his drink in disgust.
"Hating William Wallace will come back to bite you." Thought Stewart. "It will come back to bite all of you."
Stewart went behind the tree and decided to sit down and rest.
The crowd horde around Lord Comyn and his fiancée.
"Lord, Comyn. It is an honor, my lord." Said a dancer.
"Lord Comyn, may I honor thy Lord and Lady with song?" asked a signer.
"Lord Comyn, would thy Lady, like to try me famous festival roast?" asked a chef.
They were asking so many questions, that Comyn only smiled and did not answer.
Asami huddled close to John Comyn, embarrassed by the attention.
Asami wore Boudican woman's clothing fit for nobility, a long teal dress, with a light green cape.
The Mayor, James Taylor, with his wife in hand walked up and everyone cleared around John Comyn and Asami.
"My Lord and my Lady, I am so happy, you have accepted to join us today." Said Taylor.
Both Taylor and his wife, Mrs. Taylor bowed before their Lord and Lady.
"My lady, you are more beautiful as the rumors say." Said Mrs. Taylor.
Asami's face went red, almost as red as her hair.
"Now, will our Lord and Lady care to join us in a dance, and in the festivities of this festival." asked Mayor Taylor.
Asami whispered something in Comyn's ear.
"We will, but first may I have a word with my lady, alone." Said Comyn.
Comyn and Asami walked together to the tree Stewart were resting on, although on the opposite side.
https://preview.redd.it/owz8a3gttl1d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=2611e0f9b00beb25b714634c9e68091501e6ef89
"I am glad you took me to meet your people, John." Said Asami. "But this dress.."
"Is beautiful isn't it?" replied Comyn.
"It is but, it is hard to move around in." said Asami. "I prefer my Kimono."
"Will it stop you from dancing?" asked Comyn.
"No, I think I should be I can still move my feat to dance the way your people do." Replied Asami. "I saw the girls dance in their dresses, it shouldn't be hard I hope."
"Did you understand them at least." Asked Comyn.
"Yes, I have studied Latin enough to recognize it and speak it, you taught me." Said Asami.
Comyn nodded in agreement.
Stewart heard this conversation, and decided to hopefully walk away, quietly.
"Wait, boy!" said Asami, upon noticing him.
Stewart turned towards Asami and Lord Comyn.
He bowed, to hide his face, and show respect.
"Hello, my lord and lady, it is a honor." Said Stewart with careful courtesy.
"Wait, are you a knight, a young boy knight?" asked Asami.
"No, my lady, knights and squires look similar, but all squire's are just boys, while most knights are men like Lord Comyn here." Replied Stewart.
"I recognize your surcoat, your older brother Steward James was one of the six appointed guardians of Boudica, is that right, John Stewart?" Said John Comyn. "You may rise squire."
Stewart got up on his feat.
"That is correct my lord." Replied Stewart.
Asami looked a little infuriated.
"Is John really a popular common name in Boudica." Asked Asami.
"It is one of them my lady." Replied Stewart.
Asami sighed.
"Guess I'll just be using last names most of the time in Boudica them." Said Asami jokingly.
"Stewart, where is the earl of Fife?" asked Comyn.
"Oh, he's with his wife up north, he has left his head squire in charge." Replied Stewart. He turned towards Asami. "I'm sure you know them, my lady."
"Oh, wait, all those boys in templar cloaks at the wedding, I remember seeing you among them." Said Asami. "And there was another boy, a handsome boy, with dirty blond hair, the color of his eyes were light green, they look exactly like the head Medical ninja, Sakura Uchiha's eyes."
"Yep that is Macduff's squire." Interrupted Stewart, upon seeing Comyn's face redden from anger. "But my lords and lady, isn't there a festival, that you ought to attend to?"
"Why the sudden change in subject?" asked Asami.
"My lady." Said Comyn. "He is right, this boy is a sentry. I feal it is time to join the others in dancing, in fact you ought to know all Boudicans then getting to know just three."
Asami looked at each Stewart then back at Comyn.
"Oh, ok, I guess you are right, love." Said Asami. "It was good to meet you, John Stewart."
As Asami and Comyn turned away, Stewart saw Comyn mouth a "thanks," at Stewart.
Stewart sat down and leaned on the tree.
Meanwhile outside the forest of the festival, Ehou and William rode horses.
"What do you mean you can't go to the festival?" said Ehou.
"It's a long story, but the people of Bodeland hate me." Said William.
"But why, you going to tell me?" asked Ehou.
William looked at Ehou with an emotionless face.
"Well, I don't know your secret past." Said William. "So it is fair that you don't know mine, plus I never like talking about it."
"Hey, that's not fair." Said Ehou in protest. "Even I don't know my past."
Ehou thought for a moment.
"Well, if the Boudicans do hate you, I wouldn't want to hang with them then." Said Ehou.
William Wallace looked at Ehou in surprise.
"Just because they hate me, doesn't mean you have to." Said William.
Ehou laughed.
"No thanks, haters of my half-Boudican brother, are haters of me as well." Said Ehou with a smile.
William smirked.
"Very well, we ride north for Macduff." Said William.
As Ehou turned his horse north.
The back of his head, through the woods caught the eyes of John Comyn.
Comyn was shook, his eyes poked out of his socket.
"John!?" asked Asami in worry. "Are you Ok!?"
John looked at Asami, his face sweating.
He looked back, and the figure he saw was gone.
"I though I saw something." Said John Comyn.
https://preview.redd.it/3ekl79z1ul1d1.png?width=352&format=png&auto=webp&s=86e264d1d5b9ae79e881f363e74285a4b29f9db2
"Your face is sweating." Said Asami. "What did you see."
John Comyn looked left and right.
Asami put her hands over his right hand.
"What did you see?" asked Asami again. "John, you can tell me."
John looked at her with frightened eyes.
"A ghost!" he said.

2024.05.20 17:38 EquivalentBat7088 Am I finally seeing what this is?

Ok, this will be long because there's a lot to get out. I'm mostly doing this for myself because I just want to share with like-minded people and not think Im crazy. Thank you for your time.
To begin, I (f47) believe to know and love my TF (m31). Our birthday dates are 7 days apart so we have the same Sun sign. We met almost 10 years ago at work. He was just a kid and I was going through a divorce. But I remember how I felt the first time i saw him. It was eerie but yet calming. However, I pushed it aside because-- 21.
About 1 1/2 years later, we found each other on FB through a mutual. It was an instant connection. I felt so alive! We messaged for hours that night and for the next few nights/days. We were absorbed into each other. I have felt connection with people before (about 3 to be exact) and I adore those people, but this was different, and I knew it the first day I saw him. It's a magnetic pull I've not felt with anyone-- other than lust for other people. This is deeper-- it's like I MUST be near him and I don't even know why. On paper, we are a MESS-- so different in culture and generation but our life experiences are pretty parallel and when I'm near him, or messaging him, or in his arms, I feel WHOLE- and i hate sounding so cliche, but i do. I feel absolutely complete when with him. He recently said that just laying with me and talking was his favorite thing-- that he never felt so good.
Consequently, he told me that the day we met, he felt something shift in him (i hadn't told him how i feel) and he was happy we connected (back 10 years ago he said this). But within 3 months, we had a huge falling out (never met up in person), he ghosted, and that was that. i was so deeply hurt which was weird bc I didn't even feel that gutted with my divorce. so-- he was gone, or so I thought.
Six months later he pops up to apologize. I saw his message and i had a surge of electricity go through me. I accepted his apology and we talked for a few months-- then the pattern repeated. This time, it would be 3 years before he reached out again.
I should add that EVERY TIME we stopped talking, it's because we'd have a huge fight about something. Or he'd trigger an emotion in me I couldn't figure out. Or I'd set him off for something I said that he couldn't grasp. The 3 year absence though --- wow.
So before I requested his friendship on FB, I was BOMBARDED with things in the world that reminded me of him. His work trucks were everywhere all of a sudden. His initials. The number 11:11 constantly-- so I reached out. He accepted and started talking right away. In those 3 years we both had a ton of growth and maturity about our issues etc. This time around, we made it physical.
I've always had good seggual relations with men. Superficially pleasing and whatnot. This was not the same. This was soul touching and after our first time, we both cried. Well, I silently let the tears roll while he pretended to yawn as some tears fell down his cheek. It was beyond this world. The eye contact took me out of this plane and Im not even sure where I went, but it was the closest to God i've ever felt. He even says similar now (we talked about it because it was really that transformative). What's interesting, that before I realized this could be my TF yesterday, I told him last week (when he said that no one has ever touched him that way) that it was no trouble for me because it was like touching myself...I knew what to do and how to do it.
We continued for a year back and forth. Physical contact and conversations, then he says he cant have a relationship. This time I'm the one who ghosted. Changed my number and everything. I want a LIFE with someone and I was tired of being messed around. I started looking for a life. Within 7 months I was engaged to my exhusband (who is a wonderful man now that we've both fixed our issues etc) and life was peaceful-- until--
TF reached out a year after i blocked. new account. I didn't reply. Six months later he reaches out again, I replied 2 months after that. I tried SO HARD not to get sucked in but i am at a loss because I am so in love with this man.
But as we were talking, before I even put together the TF aspect, my TF was telling me how he missed me and how it was so magical with me-- that he hasn't found it with others-- that he kept leaving bc he didn't feel like the man i deserved. That he looks up to me. That he thinks about me constantly even when apart. That no one comes close to me. I believe that because I feel the same. It was just when he said it that I had an "aha" moment. Granted, now our careers are aligning and we have had so many similar life events at the same ages, but i digress.
He said he's never felt loved, that he doesn't need love-- but he felt and feels loved by me.
So last week we have a deep conversation. Soul baring. He said he thinks our connection comes from a past life. I said that my love for him is so pure, there's nothing to feel bad about. It just "is". We both agreed we feel whole when we're connected. He sent me a picture of himself and I just burst into tears. He asked for a picture of me because he needed to see my eyes. He is upset i'm engaged. I am happy! I am at peace. But i haven't set a date for the wedding or even pushed it bc I think I'm waiting for him. I think in the depths of me, i cannot legally tie myself to anyone ever again unless it's him.
I didn't tell him that but our conversation was deep and honest. He said he's so happy we're back in each others lives and that he's not going anywhere. But while he hasn't blocked me, he's not talking anymore. I stopped reaching out after the first and last time Saturday. He replied with a smile emoji . Ugh-- the cycle repeats.
In all of this, i don't feel any guilt because i can't help how I feel and i do love my fiance. It's a different love. It's stable and fun. It's superficial and easy.
But I do believe I have found my TF. What say you? I don't know where to go from here. Let him go, of course, but that ache is for real!!
Ok to be even more weird, let me tell you something that has stuck with me since I was 15. I had the MOST LUCID dream of my life the year he was born. I dreamt I had a son. I could feel him and smell him. I saw his face and woke up crying-- looking for him almost. That feeling sat with me for a few YEARS. That i was missing my son. Wtf. Turns out, he was born that year and I wonder--- well, you can see where I'm going.
ANYWAY-- thanks for getting this far if you did. Blessed be.

2024.05.20 16:05 FewCelebration7892 Mom wants me to get married before Dad dies, I don’t.

Hi all. I (34F) am in a committed relationship of 5 years with my boyfriend. We have no plans to have children, and at this point no significant shared assets. I have never been a wedding person, we have always planned to just go to the courthouse or elope when we eventually move or buy property together.
My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer 3 years ago and given 7 months to live this past May. He is going strong and trying to cram as many experiences in to these months as possible. My mom has repeatedly brought up whether we will get married so that dad can be a part of it. I have repeatedly told her no and told her to stop asking.
Last night she was talking about going ahead and buying funeral dresses. Then asked if I’m going to be getting married and if she needs to get a dress for that too. I said no, kindly. She pushed and pushed.
Her brother (my uncle) married his wife when my grandfather was dying, I told her that while it was sweet it was also very sad and I don’t want that. She said “but it made Grandaddy so happy”. I told her “I will not get married for anyone’s happiness but my own, not even my dying father”. She was taken aback but relented.
My dad has never mentioned being excited about my wedding, or wanting to see me get married. He knows it’s not my thing. He wants grandkids. He wants me to get a good job. He wants to go on more adventures with me. I can’t imagine him giving me away, that’s so out of character for both of us I can’t even picture it. I am sad thinking about missing the fathedaughter dance, because it is such a sentimental moment, but we went to so many daddy/daughter dances growing up. frankly, he can’t swing me above his head or between his legs like he used to, so it could never be as fun.
My boyfriend reminded me that this is a memory mom wants to create, getting her daughter ready for her wedding, celebrating as the parents of the bride. So thankful he gives me perspective. I feel so sad for her. But I won’t get married for anyone else’s happiness but my own, not even my grieving mother.
And I have a sibling, which you might never know unless you catch him on the rare occasions he blesses us with his presence. Has she bugged them about getting married? Or just me? Is it because I’m the daughter? Or is that why I’m the only one here when things get hard, while my brother only wants to be a caregiver every couple of months when he gets a free vacation out of it? Why are you putting this on me now, when my plate is absolutely overflowing?
How do you maintain boundaries with fellow caregivers, especially when they really need care and support? My mom is going through it in more ways than I can describe. I have never seen her so sad and scared. She has never needed love and support more than she does now. But damn if she doesn’t know how to push every button. I’m losing my mind.
Anyway, anyone else getting marriage pressure? 👰‍♀️

2024.05.20 15:35 SouthernBrownEyes Advice for No Contact?

MIL escalated wildly over the last week.
My husband called her yesterday to talk things out (bless him, he is a sweet person), and she spent 30 minutes yelling at him. She spent 30 minutes screaming about how terrible I am. When my husband would bring up a point about how my actions were a response to her behavior, she would just change the subject and get louder.
Her main complaint was that I didn’t pay enough attention to her during our wedding weekend (years ago). My husband responded, “so you’re going to nitpick the bride over her own wedding?”
She changed tactics to “I raised you better than this.” Better than me, presumably.
My husband told her, “I think my wife is doing the best she can with what she’s been given,” referring to MIL’s treatment of me. And MIL responded, “I’ve given her a great husband.” Vomit.
There was lots more said on the call, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I’d really like to be no contact with this person. This relationship was never in a good place and I’d like to free myself from her. Does anybody have any advice or validation for me? My husband will likely still remain in contact as is his absolute right, and I support his wish to remain in contact with his family. We don’t have kids so that piece of the equation is not there.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Biography:

For house Moore, like many other houses of the Vale's sheltered interior, Aegon's conquest was rather unremarkable. They went to bed one evening as subjects of one king and woke up as subjects of a new one, without the old one having gone anywhere either. Ellyn was the third child of Lord Berrick Moore and his wife Sybelle Wydman. Ellyn would be their only daughter. Lord Berrick went on to play a minor role in the campaign against the Root Father. The stories of the menace in the mountains inspired many a youth at Bronzespear to want to take up arms themselves, Ellyn among them.
The tapestries of andal knights, fearlessly facing their enemies with gleaming greatswords captured her imagination already as a child, and she began training beside her brothers. They were fairly accepting of this, and so Lord Moore let it slide as long as Ellyn did not skip other lessons for the sake of training, however when the Cavaliers were formed, it would not be many years before his daughter began to speak of joining, in hushed tones at first but ever more loudly as time went on. When she turned sixteen, Ellyn asked for permission to join and was promptly shut down. Instead Lord Berrick took his family on a visit to Snakewood, where Ellyn was introduced to the heir of the house, who had become her betrothed by the end of the visit. her betrothed did not come accross as a cruel or mean-spirited man, yet he was also not particularly strong-willed, a fact which would later become painfully aparent
Soon after her eighteenth nameday, Ellyn married the heir to House Lynderly, moving to Snakewood. Three things quickly became obvious to Ellyn. Firstly, even as a man grown, her husband had few opinions of his own, preferring to hear the verdict of his parents and adjust to it. Secondly, the maester in House Lynderly's service had little knowledge of medicine, and somehow even less of how to practice it on women. This fact became clear from the third revelation, she was already with child, probably since her wedding night. This was celebrated as a sign of good luck and the blessing of the gods. The final outcome would prove a hellish ordeal. The labor would become a protracted affair as Ellyn struggled. Something was clearly wrong, and the maester was utterly clueless in regards to a solution. By the time the idea of cutting the child out of her was being proposed, the impasse finally ended and her daughter was born, as if by the Mother's much belated mercy. At this point a hedge-maester was called in, ostensibly as assistant to the Maester of Snakewood. In practice, the dornishman named Marcel took over her care, and his clueless colleague was happy for an excuse to leave the room. He would stay to nurse her back to health, a process which took more than three months.
By then the warning signs were already showing. Leyla, her daughter, could not even look straight at someone, her gaze constantly shifting and her pupils often turning in opposite directions. Ellyn requested that Marcel stay at Sanekwood to monitor the girl and the Lynderlys obliged, their maester being no more skilled in treating children than women. At age one Leyla was not learning to walk, and struggled to even crawl or lay still. The Lynderlys assumed the child to be dim-witted, an ill omen. Furthermore, even a year after the birth, Ellyn's cycle had not returned to normal, becoming infrequent and irregular. For two more years she and her husband were urged to try to produce a suitable heir, unlike their daughter, however Ellyn proved incapable of conceiving another child. She was increasingly left to her own devices, and began to take up her old swordsmanship again, a way to remind herself and those around her that she hadn't died that night, even if her in-laws increasingly seemed to treat her as such.
Meanwhile Marcel continued to monitor Leyla's condition, unconvinced by the analysis of Snakewood's regular maester. He eventually concluded the condition to be palsy, and that the girl might eventually learn to control the spasms of her limbs, fashioning straps that would limit the movement in her arms and legs, allowing her to begin to practice moving them deliberately rather than involuntarily.
By 21AC, the Lynderlys concluded that divorce was the solution to their plight. A wife incapable of producing a fit heir could be set aside, and so this was Ellyn's fate. Her husband had not leapt at the opportunity eagerly, however as his parents argued the necessity he protested it less and less. He offered Ellyn and Leyla a place at his court after the divorce, but Ellyn rejected it, unable to stomach how the court seemed to treat both her and her daughter as functionally dead, a sentiment which had started years before the divorce itself. Instead she took her unwanted daughter and made for the Gates of The Moon and the Cavaliers, bringing Leyla with her. Marcel would accompany her, intent on continuing Leyla's training. As the years went by, the girl slowly staggered to her feet, beginning to walk with shambling steps and speak with a ragged voice. Meanwhile Ellyn resumed her own training at arms, using up her anger by throwing it into her training, regaining the strength of teenage years that already felt like a lifetime ago. Rather than ruminate on what the gods may have meant by it all, she sought meaning in the people around her, her companions and her family, not any house.

Biography:

Marcel was born in 20BC, a son of a Planky Town merchant. While taking an keen interest in learning letters, numbers and even a few valyrian phrases, he had no mind for managing money. His parents quickly decided that out of all their children, he was better sent off to the Citadel, before one of his flights of fancy caused a greater loss of money. This was after he had spent a considerable sum just to acquire a Qohorik automaton, an intricate little lion with cogs on the inside that allowed it to walk when wound up.
Arriving in Oldtown at the age of 16, Marcel initially pursued metallurgy, but soon found that medicine stirred a very similar fascination in him. whether understanding the intricacies of a body made of flesh or metal, he was always keenly interested. It only took a few years before he came to be considered somewhat of a prodigy, especially for his interest in reconvalescent healing, the act of helping stroke victims and the maimed to use their bodies once again. By 21 he had taken further interests, particularly in a fellow maester in training, named Leo. For three years they were inseparable, jointly pursuing their studies by day and their passion by night. Then, one day, Leo suddenly started avoiding him. Marcel grew angry and tried to confront him several times, even in public.
This eventually caused enough of a scene for one of his seniors to pull him aside. Leo, as things would have it, was the nephew of one of the closest aides to the Archmaester of medicine. The over-proud geezer, Malcom, accused Marcel of corrupting his nephew wiht 'dornish vices' and told him in no uncertain terms that he should abandon the study of medicine, having already thrown away his prospects with his impertinence. At the time Marcel scoffed at his threat. He abandoned Leo, who had willingly abandoned him at his uncle's order, however he stayed in his course. A decade later, he was painfully aware that Malcom had acted on his threat. After an unusually protracted study they finally granted him a link of medicine, but there after the Citadel's college of medicine wanted nothing to do with him, throwing menial jobs far below his level at him whenever he offered his services. He went into metallurgy, but soon found himself similarly disdained. Though not an Archmaester, Malcom knew many men in the other colleges and had obstructed him here too. At this point, Malcom took to the road, serving as a hedge-maester. With few friends at the citadel, even an official posting at some hole in the middle of nowhere was out of reach.
One fateful evening in the Vale however, he would find a new sense of purpose, aiding Lady Ellyn Moore and her newborn Leyla. As the little girl grew into her toddler years, he determined that she could learn to walk on her own like other children, given the right supports. Those few with her affliction who grew to adulthood would sometimes show more control of their limbs with time, and maesters had speculated about accelerating the process. The project engrossed him so much that joining the service of the Cavaliers was almost an afterthought, a simple decision that would allow him to continue his work on the girl. Functionally, Marcel has now achieved what his seniors tried to deny him, serving as a surgeon and smith at the Gates of The Moon
Timeline:
20BC: Marcel is born in Planky-Town as a merchant's son
7BC: Marcel is a quick learner at everything except how to manage money. After spending a lot of money to acquire an automaton, a Qohorik curiosity, Marcel's parents determine that he is best suited for the citadel
4BC: He arrives in Oldtown to begin his studies
2AC-5AC: Marcel becomes recognized as a promising student of medicine and develops a relationship with Leo, a fellow student. Eventually Leo begins ignoring him. Marcel is told by Leo's uncle Malcom that their relationship is intolerable and that he should stop studying medicine
15AC: After a decade Marcel is granted his chain in medicine, and promptly stonewalled from further advancement. Malcom also pulls strings to make other archmaesters obstruct him from advancement as well. Marcel becomes a hedge-maester at the end of the year.
17AC: Marcel happens to be in Snakewood when the heir's wife is giving birth. He is able to help save Lady Ellyn Moore and her child, Leyla.
18AC-21AC: Marcel trains Leyla to be able to move independently despite her palsy. When Lady Ellyn is set aside by the Lynderlys he joins her to the Cavaliers, where he takes up service as a surgeon and smith while continuing to train Leyla
25AC: He joins the Cavaliers to Greyhelm

2024.05.20 15:07 Blake_meyer I've been lied about my mother's death and who I really was for 20 years. I know the truth now.

I don't really know why I'm writing this ... I think it's because I've tried to explain it to my uncle but all he said is that I should get my addiction under control and stop forgetting to take my meds. I think my aunt’s absence is weighing on him more than he’d ever admit.
I can't blame him. About not believing me I mean. You see... I have a history. I've lost it in the past , twice actually. I'm not here to talk about it , but I think it's important to lay this down first. So you can understand.

I've been told something's wrong with my brain, maybe I was born this way, maybe I've been through too much. That my mother was an addict, she'd cut ties with her family for 10 years when she had me. That where she had been and who my father was, is was very unclear. She was part of a community in the forgotten part of the nearest big city when she died. I was there when it happened.
My uncle Sean and Aunt Maggie became my guardians just before my 5th birthday and I'm still with him 20 years later. Maggie left the ranch a few weeks ago after an amicable divorce, I never understood why they were together anyway she was always working somewhere, traveling a lot. I was closer to him and his sturdy way of life.

When I first arrived at the ranch, I was in a bad shape. I got better thanks to him but when I reached thirteen, all the memories from my early childhood suddenly came back. I started having flashbacks. My memories came back, but they came back wrong.

I had been told that my mother had died of an overdose. Yet in my dreams, I saw her , again and again , in a pool of blood. An then... Then it came. The... Thing. I won't describe it. It kind of triggers something in me that I really don't need right now.

I've been told that what happened next was so traumatic that my brain made up a monster, a fiction , to make sense of what I was seeing and not processing.
This ... Thing started obsessing me and during my early teenage years I focused all my energy on finding what it was and proving it happened. That a monster did kill and mutilated my mother. My nightmares were so bad that I stopped sleeping. I drank so much energy drinks that I ended up in the hospital twice with severe dehydration.

Thankfully, I got better. I started working more and more with my uncle's horses. I think it's why he employed me, he saw how manual work and caring for the animals helped. I even got my first girlfriend around my 17th year. I was prom king. Who would have thought?
But then... She had a cheerleading accident. In front of me. And I lost it again. I won't go into details but she broke her neck during half-time and once again... The way she fell, folded and screamed. I couldn't process. It was IT. It'd shapeshifted to get to her. I'm ashamed of it but I became violent. Looking for it franticly. Screaming non sense and talking made up words. I had to be sedated. She made it alive, but she never wanted to see me again. I was accused by pretty much everyone to make the accident all about myself. And they were kind of right....

Now you know how I came to be the " crazy" guy. I have a bit of a drinking problem too to be honest... You see I never went back to high school. I started working full time at the ranch when I came by, and sometimes, it gets lonely. It's not rare to find me passed out in the hay in the early morning in the summer. And what can I tell you... I know I shouldn't. I know it's "bad" . But I love those nights. I put music , cuddle with my dog and just look at the cold bright stars, drinking beer until they start spinning.

It's because of this bad habit that I realized something was wrong with the horses. You see, contrary to the movies, horses are pretty silent. They don't neigh unless you separate them from their best mate or bring food. And that night... The night it all started. They wouldn't stop. I could hear them galloping and snorting. I wondered if there was a stray dog but they were used to dogs. I was a bit worried. Horses get stupid when they are afraid and we had a big show coming, it wasn't the time so sprain a leg. What really troubled me was my dog. He seemed ... Weird.
Max was a pit mix my uncle had rescued when I was 15. He only woke when I got up and walked a bit to look at the paddocks. That's when I realised the moon behind me. It was huge, and red. I wondered if I had ever seen it so close and so red before. I looked at Max The white of his eyes showed and he started whining. I had never heard him make this noise. Ever.

I looked at my phone. It was quarter to three. I took a pitchfork to be safe and walked toward the clubhouse. We kept a shotgun there in a locker. The horses kept going crazy and max's tail was stiff. I was walking fast but carefully in the darkness when the music reached me. A chant. A low chant. I kind of felt it too... Like a ... vibration.
It was coming from the yearlings field near the forest patch, on the opposite direction of the clubhouse. My horse was in this field. I backtracked immediately and rushed toward the sound as I dialled my uncle. Off course he didn't answer. He didn't live on the property anymore but a few miles away. I left a message, whispering. " I'm at the stable, something weird ‘s happening. I think they're people messing with horses I'm going to see. I think you should come , I don't know...Call me back.".
The weird chant buzzed in the background, louder, as if more people had joined. I saw the glow of the fire before I passed the last building. It rose , under the bloody moonlight. Dark figures circled around it. Slowly. The horses seemed to have retreated at the other end of the pasture and I was relieved. Until I saw it. The figure at the centre of this dark carousel. " What the f are those creeps doing" escaped my lips.

A blazing fury filled me , like a white iron like a white hot blade blinding me . "HEYYYY" I screamed at the top of lungs. " WHAT ARE YOU DOING !? ". The figures stopped and turn toward me. I was running now , my knuckles going white around the pitchfork's stick. Max was growling. A deep growl. His hair high upon his backbone. The figure, still pretty far did not move. I could see their heavy hooded cloaks. " what kind of sick pricks are those " I muttered. " HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" I screamed again, louder than I ever thought I could scream. And then I saw him. Gun.

Gun was my uncle's favourite horse. His old stallion's spitting image. The young horse was lying in front of the fire behind the intruders.

"WHAT DID YOU DO! I'M CALLING THE COPS!!!!". I stopped and was dialling when a figure detached itself from the group and advanced. It seemed to ... float? It moved toward Max and I... so silently.

The burning rage in veins turned cold , and heavy. I opened my mouth but nothing crossed my lips. Suddenly, Max jumped. He growled in a way I hope to never hear any dog do again. A desperate, furious growl. A life or death sound. A war cry... His warm blood spattered on my face. He... Honestly I don't know what happened at that moment. Something lied bloody on the ground but I couldn't even have told that it used to be a dog, even less Max. Acid tears filled my eyes as I realized my mouth was still open. I was tasting him.
I wanted to scream, to run, to just get swallowed by the earth and yet I did nothing at all but stare at the floating silhouette. It was so tall. " Come, my child". " We were waiting for you, we knew you'd come, Your father told us you'd be here when we'd call".
I heard those words, but I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about the thing who spoke them. I say thing because it didn't have a voice. It... Buzzed. Like... a cello.
Suddenly... I floated too. Panick seized me. Like a trapped raccoon in my
chest it dug its claws, scratching furiously my closed throat.
" Your father said you were ready. We will prepare you." I was now in front of the crackling blaze. the other figures circling me. Smiling Men and woman welcomed me. On their faces they all wore a similar mark. a cross covering their eyes horizontally, and their nose and mouth vertically. Their hands... Their hands were still dripping with gun's inside. Gun... Was ... opened.
" A necessary sacrifice" whispered a woman, still smiling. " I know you liked him very much... I'm sorry..." " I could have taken yours, but I knew you wouldn't have forgiven me'. Her voice. .." Aunt Maggie?' I croaked. Her eyes shone with a mad light. " Gosh do you look like your mother tonight... She'd be so proud. Her baby boy..." .
The tall figure made a gesture and I spined and found myself looking at the sky. I thought I'd fallen but... I wasn't touching the ground...
My aunt continued speaking." She was just like you the first time ... So... naive, so afraid.. She was only 16! That was our mistake you see, she wasn't ready for her destiny yet when she joined us... That's why we waited for you."
The chant , the low buzzing chant rose once again. The people around me started walking in a circle around me. I was just above Gun's body.

One, by one, they buried they hands in the belly of the horse and traced the cross on my face. I sealed my lips as tight as I could as the warm blood covered my face. Through the blood and tears I recognize faces. A nurse from the hospital. A teacher. The coffeeshop barista. My psychiatrist... I closed my eyes.

It was a nightmare. It couldn't be anything but a nightmare.

Yet the smell of the horse's inside and the crackling fire still reached me as they started ripping my clothes off.
" This is not real" I whispered. " This is not real, this is not real THIS IS NOT real" I screamed weakly.
'Oh , My dear I'm so sorry ' whispered my aunt. I should have told you earlier... But Dr Carter said it was better to let you grow up a bit first. He said it help you keep the secrets if you were afraid of them. I'm sure you don't feel this way, but it was an honour to watch your mother ascend the way she did. Her agony was the most beautiful thing she could have hoped for. You were supposed to ascend with her but she ruined it". " Slut" groaned a middle aged woman before spitting on the floor.
" She was my best friend you know... I thought I knew her. I thought I could trust her. But she lied to me."
"You see, we know you are his son. But... She wasn't a virgin when she was honoured."
She smiled. " It doesn't matter how cruelly she tricked us. You can help us find the perfect girl."

One by one, each member traced a bloody cross on my skin.

" You're so handsome... He'll be so glad. The perfect boy. The perfect vessel."whispered aunt Maggie.

"It's almost time, Prepare" hissed the tall figure.

" You're going to give him his heir, the one ruler among the realms. You see he can't travel here whenever but you're an anchor my love. Each generation he choses an anchor until he finds one who'll give him THE son, the one who'll die for his freedom. Our freedom." Maggie continued, lower.

"QUIET SLAVE AND KNEEL" shrieked the tall figure.

She kneeled right near me, and breathed " You're...". I heard a slash. Aunt Maggie’s face slid horizontally. Her eyes followed me as the upper part of the face slid slowly toward the ground.

" HAIL THE PRINCE".

A chant, colder and louder than never before rose with the crackling flames toward the moon.

" Iä! Shub-Niggurath! The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young! » chanted the disciples."

Frozen, I watched the blazing sky above and saw a door. A perfect wooden door , in the sky. It slowly cracked open as the crowd turn to hysterics and the chant turned to mad screams.

"MY SOOOOOOOON" The whole earth seemed to split open under the weight of the sound coming from the perfect rectangle of empty darkness in the sky.

And then... I saw... I saw what I had tried to forget for twenty-years. I saw those split red eyes and their evil glare. I saw the iron hooves at the end of too many legs. I saw the tentacles who flayed my mother with their thousand beaks. Everything all at once, I saw it shift, from an odious form to a more loathsome one. I burned in a way I'll never be able to describe. The tentacle reached , they crossed this unholy door.

I woke up two weeks ago in the nearest hospital. I was found on the ground, surrounded by the yearlings, the corpse of gun and some remains of Max. My uncle explained to me that I had found a bear feasting on Gun, that Max must have attacked it and I'd fainted or been knocked out trying to scare it away. Laying lifeless had saved me. I didn't tell him right away at the hospital what happened.
I would have. But you see. When I woke up, she was there. The nurse. The one I had recognized. Dr Carter. Miss Thompson my primary school teacher. They were all around me , holding hands. And they smiled. They showed me the sign, the cross on my chest surrounding by the four secret signs left by my father.
I’ve tried to explain to my uncle that aunt Maggie would never come back. Why gun had to die too. I think he deserved to know. I’m sorry to leave him … but I’ve got to go now. I thought he could handle the truth. You know… That I had never been crazy and that I shouldn't have been afraid. That everything was going to be okay from now.
Because I know now that I'm blessed. You see he thinks I'm just having another episode, that it’s a "manic" episode or something and I should go back to the clinic. But Dr Carter is by my sides now... I am special. I am. And he can be too. Anyway... He'll be , whether he joins or not. You'll all be. Because he is coming. He 'll bless us all. Because you see, I know I can find her and I'll give him the perfect door. A door to let him in. A door to let all of him in this time. He'll honour us all, all at once.

" Iä! Shub-Niggurath! The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young! »

Race Information

Goal Description Completed?
A New PR Yes

1 Half 1.29
2 Full ....

Intro

Hello running, it's been a while since I (M,38) posted my last report! 3+ years since my last marathon (3.16) that was in Dubai during covid and was self supported. Lots has changed since then... I now live with my family in Australia and yesterday I tackled the Great Ocean Road Marathon, my 5th marathon.

Training

Note for readers: paces are in min/km.
I started targeting a marathon after doing my first half Ironman (HIM) in November 2023. I was a bit upset with my triathlon run time (1.45) so 2 weeks after the HIM I ran a 1.28 half marathon (self supported). This was a 3minute pr and it sparked my desire to run another full marathon. I first tried to enter Melbourne Marathon but it was sold out so I searched for other local races and found the Great Ocean road Marathon. I signed up without wasting any time as all these events sell out before you know it. I told my brother about it that lives in Europe and is also a runner and funnily he was reading the lonely planet guide for the best marathons in the world, and this one was on the list! I had about 6 months to get into marathon shape but with Christmas in between and a big vacation to Vietnam planned in January I really started following the plan from early Feb. My race plan is based on Pfitzinger's advanced marathon training (70km average weekly volume, peaking at 90km) but I followed it loosely as I was swapping 1 run per week for a bike session and had a few longer than usual long runs!
The body was feeling good up to mid March. I knew about the course being hilly so I did most of my runs on the hills near the city (Yarra bend park). Unfortunately on one of the long runs I pushed the downhills too hard and my IT band flared up. I had suffered from IT band pain several years ago so I knew there was something wrong and decided to stop training for a few days. On the Tuesday the knee was still hurting despite rest and meds so I booked an appointment with a physio. Fearing for the worst I thought I had to cancel the race. She confirmed that the problem was with the IT band however wasn't concerned for the marathon. With 2 months left there was plenty of time to keep fit and strengthen the muscles. The physio gave me weekly plans of run/walks, hill reps (walking back), cadence exercises and strengthening exercises. The rehab went fairly well and 1000s of 1 leg squats later I would be ready for the race. In hindsight I think the IT band issue was a blessing in disguise as I did a lot of strengthening work that I had never done before.
In April I also casually met a group of runners that run around a track near my apartment on Tuesday mornings. The workout is the same each week. 6x1000 with 90s standing rest. Getting speed work done regularly with a group is great. You manage to push your pace so much more when everyone around you is faster. Track Tuesdays became a regular appointment and the workout I was most looking forward too all week. I'd do reps in the 3.20/3.30 range. One week I decided to push one rep at max effort to see if I could stick with the front pack and PR 'd my 1km time (3.05).
PR'ing has been a common theme for me in the last 2 months! I brought down my 1km, 5km (18.30) 10km (37.50) times and also came 1st in my age group and 7th overall at my local Parkrun (900+ participants).
By the end of April I was fully healed from the IT band issues and managed to run up to 39km as my longest run completely pain free. Taper time! I'm not a fan of the taper as for some reason all sorts of pains pop out randomly for a few days and then disappear. I read these are called phantom pains and I've accepted them now as they always pop up during the taper and disappear on race day. In any case the 2 weeks went by quickly and it was finally race weekend!

Race

Saturday morning we did our weekly 5km family run with my wife, older son on his bike and little one in the running stroller. Then we drove down to Lorne where some friends were waiting for us at their place. After a great meal and a decent 6 hour sleep I woke up at 4am. I waited till 6 to have breakfast and then at 7 walked down to the race village. At 7.30 I did my 10min warmup jog, stretched, took a few pics with the family near the ocean and then headed to the starting line. The weather was great at the start around 10C (50F) and not much wind.
I knew I had enough fitness to beat my previous PR of 3:16 so I set a more ambitious goal: Run the marathon in under 3:08. This is my dad's marathon PR from 30 years ago! He transmitted his passion for long distance running to me and I always considered that time to be the ultimate challenge. As the route is hilly with about 500m of positive elevation and I saw the forecast being windy with headwinds up to 30kph (20MPH) picking up towards the second half I decided to start the first km with the 4.30 pace group but then speed up the first half and take advantage of the better weather and slow down the second half. I know, I know, theory says to run equal splits...
I passed the half marathon in 1:29 a bit faster than planned but still plenty of energy and a great mood. Running up hill wasn't too bad and running down was fealing great. I had a good group of runners around me and we'd take turns leading the pack to shield the wind for others. In a race where there is almost no one chearing for you for 44km this was a great way to keep the spirits up. There are 3 main hills, Mt. Defiance at the 7km mark, then the hill after Kennet river at 22km and Cape Patton after Grey river at approx 26km. This one is the hardest in my opinion. Not too steep but long. When you think it's over and it flattens out, you turn the corner expecting to go down, instead it climbs a bit further. I finally arrived at the top passing the 28km mark in 2 hours... and here, mother nature decided to turn the challenge up a notch! The group had thinned out by now so I was on my own. Rain started pouring and the headwind started blowing hard. From this point I slowed down to a 4.45 pace doing math in my head calculating my finish time still under 3:08.
Gel after gel, km after km the finish line was getting closer. Rain would come and go, wind was always there.
37&38 -5min pace need to speed up
39- 4.45 going well, hang on
41- 5 minutes time to push the last km
42- 4.30, last 195m

Marathon! 3.06.42!

New PR, goal achieved, huge smile on my face... Still 2+ km to go for the finish line... Yep because this mara is actually a 44.6km race!
I decided to walk the last 2km as my goal was the marathon and I really left everything I had on the last km. In hindsight this was a bad decision. I should've jogged to the finish line as I got really cold and stiff walking and all sorts of pains in the hips and legs popped out. Looking at the results I crossed the Marathon as 51st and I crossed the finish line as 125th out of a field of approx. 1600 runners. In any case I did a little run to get some nice pics at the finish line in Apollo Bay in 3.29.59 and a team of friendly kids handed out my medal!
What an amazing race! I loved the challenge, loved the training, loved the weather, loved the views and camaraderie between runners. I think my next goal will be a BQ (3:05) or maybe if the stars align a sub 3!
In the next months I have a few half marathons coming up where I'll aim for a 1.25 and the HIM in November.
Happy running everyone, and thank you for reading my report. If you've endured my poor English you can endure a marathon for sure!

2024.05.20 14:30 TeaAndCozy Nocturne Alchemy review batch #7: 20 more Nocturne Alchemy reviews

I continue to have the best time exploring my way through Nocturne Alchemy! My previous NAVA reviews are here:
Now here's my next 20 reviews for your reading pleasure!
Nocturne Alchemy, sometimes known as "NAVA" from when they combined Nocturne Alchemy and VApothecary, is one of the most expensive houses, and I want to point out that you don't have to buy hundreds of dollars of full-sizes in order to explore their catalog and enjoy their artistry. I owe huge thanks to everyone who has sold or gifted me a decant, sample, or partial bottle. In fact, I have never actually ordered direct from the house myself! My best advice, if you want to explore NAVA, is to include freebie sniffies in your Ajevie order. When you check out, there's a text box in which you can ask for NAVAs specifically, and if they're available, they'll send you empty full-sizes! There's almost always still enough left to try, and it's been a great (and fantastically cost-effective) way for me to experience so many of NAVA's perfumes. You don't get to pick what you get, of course, but that in itself has been useful because it has allowed me to try a wide range of NAVA's notes, including some things I wouldn't have picked for myself (as you can see in a few of the reviews below). And then I can include these "empty" bottles as freebies when people order from my own destash - always great to spread the love!
Since folks keep saying it's helpful, I'll recopy my "basics of the NAVA collections" information. NAVA sells three categories of things:

Permanent Collection

"Bastet's Garden" collection
"Dragons, Gargoyles & Mythology" collection

Studio Limited

Originals
Deux

Limited Edition

Eternal Ankh Colors & Gems
Thoth's Archive Winter 2024
Holiday 2023
