A few days ago I met this guy online, it started with him saying that I seem like a great person and he wanted to talk just as friends. I agreed and gave him my social media. Before he left he said that I should imagine how sick it would be if we became such good friends that we actually met up in person. I was just like lol yeah. The following few days he kept praising me about how great I am and how much love he has for me. He told me that he told his friends about me and they said I seem like a great person, which I though was weird. Today he messaged me and said that he is going to be visiting California for the first time this summer (he knows I’m from California) and that we could even meet up. Idk if I’m acting paranoid but I can’t help but think he’s coming to California specifically to meet me. I haven’t even met him a week ago and I’m honestly a bit scared. I just responded ‘oh wow! That’s great’ to which he opened the message and hasn’t replied to it. How should I deal with this situation or am I just acting paranoid for thinking he is a bit strange?

I know I'm late to the party. This was always I game I heard a lot of praise for and was planning to play it, but I kept putting it off until I upgraded my PC. Now I finally got to play it.
It's a pretty good game, though there are some obvious shortcomings. I really liked the combat system. It's the kind I heard a lot about in other games like dark souls. I don't mean it's exactly the same, just that it's the kind where YOU learn how to fight each type of enemy instead of just increasing your stats. There are other similarities too like the save points, getting your exp back from the place you died and backtracking with no quick travel.
I really liked it because I've never played that kind of game, I only know of Dark Souls from reviews. I didn't think I'd like that kind of game. It's possible that this is just a light version of that and that's the reason I like it.
I liked the mix of combat with parkour, if it was all combat all the time I think it would have gotten tedious for me. Not that the parkour segments can't get annoying when you keep failing a jump or something, but it's nice to have variety.
Speaking of variety, I really enjoyed those unique action sequences the sprinkled in: Like driving the AT-AT walker or dropping on the big bird. I think there were some others.
I mean just overall I like the big set pieces, I think they looked really cinematic. There were also moments when big things were happening in the background that looked really nice.
That was a bit in contrast to my first impression of Bogano, where I though the terrain looked kinda blocky and video game-y instead of something that could feel real. I got accustomed to it pretty quickly and I didn't feel it as much on other planets or on Bracca for that matter. Plus I get it, it's trying to be a series of challenging levels rather than being a realistic layout. I actually agree with that design choice. And again I think it mostly blends well with the cinematic beauty.
One other thing I heard about the Souls games that I didn't really like was that the story is kinda in the background. There was world building but not a driving narrative or something like that. I really like the fact that there is a driving narrative in this game. It's only a slight nudge, you can still go explore however you like, but you have a reason to be there and there are nice cutscenes as you progress.
Some things I didn't like so much: The limited customization. The saber hilt parts are great, but the ponchos have very little variation to them. Not only that but the outfit underneath only has color changes and their even more limited than the ponchos. It was a nice challenge to try to put an cohesive outfit together out of the pieces, but personally I found only like 2-3 combinations that really felt like they worked. Like Green outfit with a Green Poncho. But if you tried to go white, there's no white outfit.
I really think there should have been more different outfits with different belts, gloves and doodads. Or possibly there should just be full outfits that are specifically designed by a costume designer to be a cohesive look.
It really looks to me like they had some pressure to release it before they were ready and a lot of stuff they probably wanted in had to be cut. I'm not gonna super fault them for that, because it's a first entry in a series and its got a good framework to build upon in the sequels. Hopefully this goes the way good games usually do and the next one is gonna be bigger and better and then the next one after that even more so.
One other small thing I wanted to harp on was the writing. For the most part I think the characters are done really well, they have nice backstories and I really enjoy the banther. I do think at times it's a little simplistic possibly because it's rushed. I felt like some characters were really quick to change their minds after a brief talk with Cal. It's especially noticeable with Trilla at the very end. Years of hatred and resentment just get "fixed" by Cal basically saying "I know how you feel". I wish they would have drawn that out a bit more, if not sowing the seeds in previous encounters, at least dragging the scene on for a bit longer and having it be a back and forth where we see Trilla wrestle with the conflicts in her and slowly giving in. Maybe spurred on by some action that Cal does rather than just his words.
I also got the feeling that Cal just turned into a kind of generic good guy who speaks in platitudes, after he overcame his past trauma. I like the character arc, but I feel like they went a bit too much in the relentless optimist direction towards the end.
These are minor nitpicks in the grand scheme of things though. As I said, overall I found it really enjoyable and a solid foundation for future games. So while it's not a 10/10 for me, I still find it to be a solid game that I have no problem recommending.
Thanks for reading! If you have any additional opinions or want to argue about mine, I'd be happy to read them.

Hey guys, I'm a girl and I turned 18 on January. From January till now I've been feeling not like the usual me. I'm always tired even though I sleep a lot, my bones hurt, I get sleepy easily and go to bed earlier than I used to. I do eat healthy food but i also intake alcohol (light beer is the only alcohol i like) and energy drinks. Lifestyle-wise I'm a bit stressed with school assignments and tests: lately my day is basically study eat sleep, with no time for myself. When I do have time for myself I use it to sleep. I have an amazing boyfriend that has always fulfilled me both emotionally and sexually but lately I've been having a really, really low libido. I know it's not him because I don't even have the drive to do solo stuff. (ive always had a very high libido so this scares me). I go to the gym 3 times a week (i skipped the past 2 weeks though because of schoolwork) I dont go outside much because of all the things I have to do. I'm a huge music and videogames fan, but lately even music and games don't do it for me. I don't think im depressed but who knows. I feel "okay" but not "good". i feel monotone. For some reason I don't feel as good as I used to. 2022 was my "happy year" but now i don't feel like that anymore, i want it back. Please help!

Recently, actually, today, August 22nd, 2022 ! I got an invitation from Freelancer.com, as I have subscribed, that 'were ready to hire you but you have to get Telegram account and add our 'Teacher' to train you for 'real data purchasing or order processing'. Guess what? I did so, even I knew that in my country 'Telegram' doesn't work without using 'VPN', techys know it well.
I gave it a chance and wanted to prove my intuition right, to myself.
The lady in the Telegram account was 'sassy' to attract atleast 'innocent men' to invest with her and her lies but women are a little more open to the '6th sense' but few, hilarious it is.
I, as an all time prompt googler, started googling the 'sister website' of "Bitcoin" , the link she sent me named 'BITKEXN'.
I felt a shiver of fun, and started exploring her more, eventually she started feeling my gut and stop texting me for more details.
These are scammers, don't trust them if: 1. They invite you in 'Telegram' 2. They tell you to use 'VPN' They are fakers, they're working out of the bounds.
that's it.

I have a Thai food obsession and know a ton of great places for lunch and dinner, but just realized that I don't know any breakfast joints that serve Thai food and can't really find any online. Did some quick googling and from what I read, morning-specific items doesn't seem to be as big of a thing in Thailand compared to America, don't know how accurate that is, but I do find it hard to find Asian breakfast spots in general. I saw some articles listing some traditional/common Thai breakfast foods and would love to try them, but pretty much every Thai restaurant on google maps opens at like 11:30. May or may not be hungover and Thai food is exactly what I need at 7am today...
I generally prefer staying in Brooklyn and Queens (I live near Bedstuy) but don't mind going into Manhattan at all if it's for good food.

tl;dr: everything about our relationship so far is amazing. he’s super understand of everything. i told him i’m bi, and he didn’t seem bothered by it but just curious of how it works because he doesn’t understand it. grew up very religious as a pastors kid. he asked his mom, who’s homophobic, for advice, and now he’s saying he needs space to think. he’s never done this before. he always wants to talk everything out. what do i do?
—-
my boyfriend and i have been dating for 2 months. he’s extremely emotionally aware, he’s understanding and empathetic, he’s supportive and ambitious. i have a good relationship with his mom too, she’s called me her daughter and told me welcome to the family. he’s also a pastors kid, his family legacy is a pretty big church in their town. i’m not religious at all but he doesn’t force it on me or try to persuade me any type of way.
the honeymoon phase has ended and normally this is when couples begin fighting, but we haven’t had any “fights”. we have a relationship where we can say how we feel and have a meaningful productive conversation to resolve the issue. until now at least, when he told me he needs space to think. let me explain the situation exactly.
we’re long distance so we only see each other on the weekends. this past friday night i had casually mentioned that i’m bisexual because it was part of a story i was telling, and he was surprised but he didn’t seem to be bothered by it on a deeper level. our relationship was the same as normal the rest of the night and all day saturday until late saturday night he mentioned it again asking how it works because he “doesn’t understand it”. he had been taught growing up that it’s something influenced by the media or your surroundings. his mom got mad at his sister one time for wearing masculine clothes because she “only has 1 son” 😀. but i explained to him that it’s not a choice or something you can change or be influenced into, and he seemed like he understood. he said he wanted to get an outside perspective of it and asked if i’d be okay if he talks to his mom about it. i told him she would probably be biased and he should maybe talk to someone else first or at least do more research on his own first so he has an understanding before going and talking to someone so blatantly homophobic (i didn’t say that part but i implied it). he said he doesn’t think she would be biased because he has lesbian cousins and she loves them anyway. i didn’t wanna push the matter more and seem like i’m trying to get between him and his mom, so i left it alone. he also kept saying that nothing changed about our relationship, i’m still the same person and our connection is rare and he’s so happy to have me that he doesn’t want to lose me and that he loves me and i shouldn’t worry because we’ll be alright.
our relationship was the same as normal all sunday and monday morning until he finally had the conversation with his mom. i’m not sure what happened, but as soon as he talked to her he suddenly told me he needs a couple of days to think and process everything i told him. he’s never done this before, he always wants to talk things out.
i’m conflicted because i know it’s hard to unlearn 20 years of homophobia, but i feel like space in this situation is unproductive. what should i do?

I’m (F25) not sure how to write this. I’ve never put down my memories to paper let alone tell anyone. A family member would do certain things between (from what little I can remember) the ages of 7-15. These things made me feel uncomfortable and I asked multiple times for it to stop to no avail.

1. They never let me lock the bathroom door when I shower and walk right in and have a conversation with me even though the shower doors are see-through. This still happens now at 25yo. I used to lock the door when I was younger but they would use a coin to open the door and leave it wide open so I just stoped locking the door and forget to ever time now.
   
2. They have always sneaked up the stairs and burst into my room on purpose. Dispute multiple times asking them to knock. If I’m just out a shower and wearing a towel I’ll always ask them to leave but they say scoff as if I should be less embarrassed and I’m weak for being embarrassed about being naked.
   
3. When I was younger if I would touch myself this person would take enjoyment from bursting into my room and surprising me and make me feel dirty for doing so. They would also watch before bursting in through a crack in the door which I caught them doing.
   
4. They would ask to see my breasts and say it was to compare mine to theirs and any time I said I didn’t want to I was made to feel silly for being embarrassed like it was no big deal.
   
5. They used to ask me to shower with them. Well over the age I needed anyone to wash my hair. Still asking me at 15. They again would scoff if I said no and plead for me to join them as if I was not wanting quality time with them.
   
6. They flash to me (still do) and leave the door to the bathroom wide open when they shower and sometimes calls me over to chat with them on purpose as if they want to see my reaction.
   
7. They would insist on checking ‘down there’ and would put cream on me saying there was a rash but I never saw one. I remember getting older and being a adamant that I could do it myself but they got furious with me.
   
8. This person gets into my bed without asking when I’m there or when I’m not and asks me to cuddle them in their bed and gets angry when I say no.
   

The next two are hard for me to type…I don’t feel ready but this platform has been really supportive so far so here goes. For content this same person definitely physically abused me and still emotionally abuses me and I think they are narcissistic.

1. Growing up and even sometimes now I go into a childlike mind and put on a higher pitched child like voice (this cringes me so much so please don’t say anything nasty about this). Once when I was around 15 I was hugging this person in their bed and was in this childlike state. They played into it and said ‘aww my baby, do you want to suck milk’ and I for some disgusting reason that bothers me to this day I nodded and they got their breast out and I ….I can’t type the rest but I don’t think I need to.
   
2. Again different to put down to writing. This one I don’t know if it’s in my head. When I was younger they would ask me to sit on their lap. I would feel (or think I did) them pushing up their private part on my body. I would feel uncomfortable and sit in a different position but it would keep happening and I learnt to ignore it.
   

Sorry for the left hoy post but because this is not obvious or classic case of sexual abuse (I think) I’m just unsure if it was. I know this person would take it very badly if they knew I was thinking this and I feel like I’m betraying that persons honour or something.
(Context : been depressed since 11/12 and after experiencing panic attacks for the first time at 25 I finally told a doctor and I’m on a waiting list to get help for pdsd (unsure if that’s me) and I don’t know if it’s worth mentioning this if it’s stupid or a lie or if I am even able to).

Today is my birthday and it's a huge one for me: my golden birthday. 21 on the 21st. However, falling on a Tuesday, having half my friends away at school until summer, and one of my best friends in the area having covid, it's pretty inconvenient to celebrate right now. The original plan was to go to dinner and take pictures this Saturday and then do something in the summer when everyone is home. Or completely hold off until summer but that's really far out.
Would it be too weird to celebrate that late? I'm in my head about all the details. My plans weren't solid but they were okay. Having that one friend miss it would totally dampen things. Any advice?

Don't want to waste anyone's time so:
- I only roleplay with +18 people, being 25 myself. I'm never sure about the F/F or F/M thingy, for some it refers to the IRL genders of the roleplayers and others the pairings. To be clear I'm F and I'm usually more comfortable roleplaying with other F, but my pairings are M/F.
- Quality> Quantity but please give me something to work with. I guess at this point I'm more of a "mirror" kind of roleplayer, but constantly pulling out novella-lenght posts burns me out quickly.
- Doubling is heavily encouraged, almost required. I like to play both Canon and OCs, and in this universe I stick to CanonxOC. I get easily bored when I don't get to play more than one main character, and I like to build different kind of relationships (friendships, rivalries...) on my RPs.
- MxF is what I'm looking for in mains (playing both male - most of the time the canon my partner wants - and female). ALL CHARACTERS WILL BE AGED UP. I understand the appeal of this saga is having the young - adult transformation dynamic and it's struggles (that's why I love it, my kid self would have loved it too) but I think a similar story could be told with them being in their 18s. So unless my partner and I agree to not exploring heavy romance until a time skip is done (crushes and the awkwardness of getting the feels I think is natural in a coming of age story), characters will be 18yo MINIMUM. I do NOT want any weird bs with minors, thank you for your understanding! I know I sound paranoid, but as someone who liked to roleplay Harry Potter including the younger years to establish dynamics and build up the story having fun with the innocence the characters had, I've seen my fair share of weirdness regarding young characters.
- Let's both contribute to the story.
- When it comes to romance, love at first sight isn't my thing, I usually go with the slow burn/ "organic" path but I'm not a snail, crushes are definitely realistic - more so with characters on the younger side. I also like to keep the main genre of the series and focus on our character's development more than having romance as the only focus too.
- Don't feel forced to answer everyday. I can't stress this enough. This a hobby, not a job. I like OOC chit chat , share all your memes, silly headcanons, and feel free to chat with me even if you haven't replied to the RP.
- My knowledge mainly comes from the movies, but if my partner wants to scream me about the comics, go for it! I won't be reading them any time soon though.
I think I'd do a good job at Billy Batson! Honestly I want to try him against someone's OC, and I'm searching for someone open to play Freddie Freeman for my OC. Besides, in general I just love all the siblings and would love to play them as secondary characters (shared with my partner). I just think there's a lot of potential for some lighthearted fun with its sprinkle of more serious tones and drama from time to time.
About Canon- time setting I don't mind something around the movies (during the first movie, post first movie- pre second, during the second movies). Usually what my partners and I do is take anything that we like from the canon source and use it, add on to it or change whatever we feel wasn't necessary or could have been done differently. I'm not going for a full transcript of the source. Basically we make the canon world our own.
I think that's all! Contact me if you're interested!

I don’t think my brain works correctly. Lately I find myself experiencing more and more of my life from the passenger seat, as if I’m on autopilot and I am completely unable to control what I say and do. I might have some dissociative disorder or it may be a symptom of my depression, I’m not sure. Either way, I keep watching my life unfold like a slow motion train wreck as I continue to act in an impressively self destructive manner.
I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household that viewed the lifestyles of LGBTQ people as nothing more than an abhorrent and sinful choice; our church would preach that all liberalism was wrong and anti-Christian. In this environment I made the lamentable decisions to develop gender dysphoria and to harbor feelings for other boys, though I was assigned male at birth. I believe that’s why I hate almost everything about myself. My voice, my face, my body, my name, my life, I loathe me and I constantly wish I would die. While I’ve always had these passive suicidal ideations, lately I find myself doing strange things to try and increase my chances of a fatality—like counting how long I can keep my eyes closed while flying down the freeway at a hundred miles an hour. The most pathetic part to me is that I came out to my siblings over a decade ago, and they all accepted me, but I’ve never had the courage to tell the world, or even my parents. I’m sure everyone who matters would accept me, but I am a coward—I’m too scared to talk to a therapist lest I be locked in a psychiatric ward like some of my other family members. (I have two paranoid schizophrenic brothers, a bipolar biological mother with BPD and a biological father who was a pathological liar with delusions of grandeur. We count psychosis among our family heirlooms.)
Anyways, I’m a PhD Candidate and I just went to a conference and gave a mediocre talk on some esoteric subject matter and it hit me that… this is it. My only contribution to posterity will be a couple of papers, conference talks, and a thesis, all given under the name of a person I despise. So, I had a nervous breakdown and, after a few days of crying, I went and had the very surreal experience of buying a Glock 17. A part of me wanted to just tell the people that I was crazy, but I just watched as autopilot took over. Now I’m waiting on my background to clear as I scream into the void. I thought the resolve would make me feel better, but I still spend my days crying; I feel like I've lost my mind. Thank you for allowing me this cathartic rant…

To sum things up- I'm severely ADHD and have horrific time blindness and impulse control, so this means I end up sitting at my laptop for an entire day doing nothing but diving into whichever game I'm currently hyperfixating into.
I'm looking for someone to play games with who can help me limit my time gaming better. Basically- if I play games with you, I likely won't touch the game without you present. So if you log off for the day, I will too. Or I'm hoping so.
Basically I'm looking for someone who has:
a reasonably open availability (preferably lives in CST but not a requirement) I've been having days where I leave my house all day to avoid playing games and do productive things, but most of the time I have quite a few hours to burn playing games. I'd rather not have to spend days without playing something I really want to do just because my gaming buddy's schedule doesn't match well with mine. So that's a requirement.
I will also say I tend to hyperfixate on a game for anywhere from a few days to weeks, burn out and switch games, and return again later. So someone who is preferably fine with generally playing along to whatever I'm hooked on ATM would be nice. I'm willing to try new games ofc. But if I'm hyperfixated on something, I'd appreciate it if you went along with it.
That's mostly it? I hope I'm not being too picky, I really don't expect to find anyone due to my expectations, but at least I can say I tried.
As for what I'm currently stuck on, it's modded minecraft. Specifically the modpack Blightfall. I expect to burn out of it soon, but I wouldn't mind playing it with someone else for a while.

So I read all you answers, and honestly I still couldn't decide So I took a talk with my dad, and well I will be taking the trip but I will also get surgery at 18, as my dad has agreed to loan me some money when the time comes. This isn't that weird as he has borrowed money for me before (he's pay check was late), and i have from him when my bank had problems. But thank you all for the insight, I'm honestly really glad to have worked so hard to save, as that is also one of the reason my dad even let's me borrow so much money. ( he would never give my siblings that kind of money) And honestly I was thinking of taking a loan, so getting it from my dad is much better as there's no in interest. Thank you all from you insight:)

I (23F) recently got tested for ADHD and ASD by the advice of my therapist and medication doctor. It was by an official, for lack of better words, “tester.” She has a doctorate in psychology BUT is NOT a psychologist. (I feel like that would make a difference) The Psy.D. said I have ADHD but not ASD. She told me I’m right on the line where you are or aren’t, but because I have great social skills (can make friends, keep them, continue a conversation, reply when prompted etc.) I am not. I did ask more, but it came down to my social skills, which feels very subjective, rather than the “objective tests and results” that they are supposed to be. She said her observation of our conversations are the reason I’m not autistic.
She told me how I tested exceptionally, average, or below average in different tests. Cool. Makes sense, we aren’t all going to be good at everything, but then it felt like the ASD came down to her opinion rather than concrete evidence. She also told me a lot of the things I said felt like ASD, are actually just my anxiety and ADHD. (Such as social interactions, perception of the world, etc.)
It felt really invalidating. I felt like all of the research I had looked into it, the silly memes I related to, the things I identified with, the feeling I finally found a name for how I feel about/perceive the world, was wrong.
She also wrote some stuff in the final official report that felt really rude. “She was 20 minutes late to our second appointment.” (I was 3 minutes late and I got locked out of the building and tried calling) she also said that I can function fine and do all the proper tasks I need to. Which is a lie!! I’m really debilitatingly chronically ill. I have Dysautonomia and a whole entire list of other chronic illnesses and symptoms. I can do basic things on own, go to the bathroom, brush teeth, bathe, etc. but it exhausts me. I specifically told her that when she was asking me about my medical history. I told her I’m really sick all the time and I can’t function like a normal human. In her write out on the official report, she wrote all my symptoms and illnesses in quotations. It felt like she didn’t actually believe that either. I feel like she also thinks all my illnesses and symptoms are “due to anxiety.”
I talked to my therapist about it and how I felt. I sent her the whole report. She said she didn’t like how Psy.D. blamed it all on anxiety. “Anxiety isn’t a cause, it’s a result.” Therapist also said the other clients who went to the same lady also complained that they felt invalidated by her. That she seems to think she knows it all and that she’s very objective, which she clearly isn’t.
I asked my medication doctor why he thinks I have ASD. He told me that because I have so many different things, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar II, dyslexia, sensory issues, eating disorder, etc. that it would make sense I have ASD because it is a neurological disorder. He says you don’t see all of that without ASD. Actually, he asked if I’m on the spectrum at our first meeting because of how I sit(with my legs up close to my body). He meets with lots of people with ASD.
I was actually asked by multiple different doctors (when I was older) and friends because of my mannerisms, thought process, patterns of speech, specific interests/hobbies, crazy amount of information on “non-important” things, etc.
I’ve been told by a ton of my doctors and so forth, that ADHD in women is not always diagnosed until much later in life because it presents differently in men and women. The same has also been said about ASD. (I actually wasn’t diagnosed with dyslexia until I was in 6th grade because I masked it so well. None of the teachers listened to my mom, who told them there was a learning issue, because I was “smart” and tested above my grade level. No one ever thought I had ADHD because I was a good student when I was younger.)
One of my close friends, who I relate to a lot, is officially diagnosed with ASD and she said that she has ASD but also hyper empathy. When she sent me resources on that, I also related to it so much. I read through some of the material and didn’t even realize that most people I am around, do not feel the same way I do about things. I mean, I’ve always known that because I’m on the ace spectrum as well, and sexuality as a whole is strange to me, but! It felt really validating that people with ASD can also have “good social skills” and empathy. I mean… I knew that, but it was also nice to see actual studies on it too. My friend also think that Psy.D. doesn’t know the newer research in autism and/or hyper empathy in autistic people.
I know my mom wants to meet with Psy.D. about the results and talk about the readout with her bullet point topics. (Oh btw my mom is my caretaker due to my health issues). She is really upset by how Psy.D. downplayed my health issues. I feel like Psy.D. Won’t change her report, nor listen to why I feel she got my ASD diagnosis wrong, but I’ll try anyway… I feel like it might be more harmful than helpful… but I’m not sure…
If you’ve read this far, thank you so much. It means a lot to me. I’m so so sorry if it’s a jumbled mess or confusing. I mostly came here to rant, but also ask you what you think about the situation. It’s been taking up my entire mental space. I’m constantly thinking about it and feeling so invalid… Do you have any advice? I just feel like I found another part of my identity, only for it to be completely invalidated and taken away. Anyway! I’m so sorry if this was a lot!! Thank you for reading this far!! :) (P.s. right when I went to post this, I read a post about why they left autism because of all the tiktok girls. I actually posted there first, but after reading how it’s overflowing with people who aren’t really autistic, I also am posting it here in hopes someone has some advice. I’m actually really stressed to post this now, but I really want to get other’s opinions… I can also post a whole entire list of reasons why I think I am if that would make a difference? Like I don’t think I’m “quirky” if I’m autistic. I just know all my life certain things have been super difficult without reason, and ASD really feels like the answer I’ve been searching for)

Hello everyone,
I'm an experienced female writer with over fifteen years' writing experience, looking to write with males or females 25 or older (with a preference for 30+.) I am happy writing females or males in FxF or FxM pairings.
!!! I am British and only looking to roleplay with other Brits, with no exceptions. Please be literate and able to contribute something to the discussion if you contact me !!!
I play via Discord, and in real time. By that I mean, the two of us sitting down at the same time to exchange moderately short (semi-para to paragraph length) posts, rather than longer posts at any time throughout the day.
My interests range from the vanilla to the embarrassingly dark, and can be discussed in private.
Settings I would be interested in exploring include:
- Political set-ups: intrigue, plotting and manipulation!
- Sci-Fi: near future dystopias and totalitarian states!
- Post-apoc: fairly self-explanatory!
- Alternate history: I've a few ideas for how this could go!
I am not interested in fantasy settings, or superheroes and prefer to fade-to-black.

I know this might feel out of context, but every time I see Connell reactions, like sometimes he acts like he doesn’t care about Marianne (I know he does) but the way he acts or say things like “ok” when Marianne is talking about something important, feels like he is like trying to avoid talking about this sensitive subject or he just doesn’t care.
Basically the reason of my post is that I have someone in my life, very on and off, very much like Connell, he acts like he doesn’t care if I’m with someone, or just says “ok” when talking about sensitive issues. I’ve never been really open about my feelings either, neither he. So it’s a very complicated relationship.
Basically just wanted to say how wrecked I am to watch some scenes with Connell cause he can give the impression sometimes of coldness or carelessness. I’ve been there Marianne.
Thought I’d share this one over here. I read the book too and both destroyed me.

I am working very hard on a project to speak to both the Mystic and Scientist. First I absolve myself of the icons or local deity's respectively and second I pant a picture of the edge of out perception in this time scientifically.
Finding rational explanation for unusual occurrence and precise calculable event change or circumstances has lead me down a path of quantum entanglement and cosmology. Mind you is am an altar casting person with twists of this and roots growing deep in JuJu practice that are most certainly my ancestors reaching out to me with all the other dead asking us to survive into the evolution. Ritual will most likely survive.

I am currently a lvl 7 Warrior Hunter, I didn't check a guide before so I was turning in my quests, still in presearing, but I have hit a brick wall. Charr kill me, imp, and pet nearly instantly and dead leveling was granting like 200 xp per 8 hours. Any ideas?

Should I wait for FUT birthday to open packs and just build them up? I honestly don't know much about FUT birthday and the advantages of doing so either, so if someone could let me know that'd be great.
