Hello all. I am writing this post on behalf of my boyfriend, who is currently waiting for a room at the ER while I (am forced to) wait in the car.
The title gives his main symptoms, but some others are stomach pains after eating and intense irritability (because of the pain). He is also extremely shaky when he walks, and can pass out randomly for short periods of time.
Some background: He is 23. About a week ago, he got too drunk and had to go to the ER for seizure-like symptoms (he is a heavy drinker, but was severely dehydrated) and they drugged him up and he came back home. Two days later is when these current symptoms came about and we went back to ER because we knew something was off. They of course wrote it off as withdrawals, but I can assure you they are not based on his history with being able to stop drinking for long periods of time.
As of right now, we have no idea what is wrong. Based on stuff I've read online, these seem to be serious symptoms that need immediate care, but he is texting me from the ER now saying they're brushing it off! I have never seen him in this much pain and I am really seeking some advice or explanations. He can be a bit dramatic at times with his sicknesses/pain, but I know this is serious. I am very nervous something serious is wrong and I want it to be taken seriously :( He does not have insurance, and so going to a formal doctor's office isn't realistic for him, the ER seems to be his best bet unfortunately. Again, any help is truly truly appreciated :)

FINALLY there is enough of a break in the rain for a BBQ! I feel like I haven't posted here in forever!! I look forward to feeding you.
Notes from the Chef: Food is delivered cold with simple reheating instructions to have it perfect right out of your oven (oven is highly recommended).
I love getting tips and I know it is the culture in this country to tip, but in America, tipping may have originated after the 15th amendment, which gave black men the right to vote, as a way to not pay black workers fair wages (only white waiters would get tips). Regardless of its origins, today, it is an archaic tradition maintained by business owners who don’t want to properly pay their employees (somebody might be driven away by a 15% to 20% price increase, but if the owners pays the staff 15% to 20% less, and optionally leave it up to the customer and then that person doesn’t tip, the owner still made 100% of their money). As such, I do not subscribe to this business model and while if you do tip me, it will make me very happy, please do not feel the need to tip. The food is priced so that I make the money I need in order to build the business and support my growing family and, eventually when I have employees, properly pay them. Knowing you enjoyed the food and it made you happy, is all the tips I need.

As I sit here feeding our second baby in the middle in the middle of the night I decided to write our birth story.
I had been having Braxton Hicks contractions consistently for 4 days by the time I went into actual labour. I knew things had changed around 1pm on Monday when I went to the toilet and found a lot of pink tinged mucus after urinating. Suddenly the BH contractions seemed to be getting closer together and weren't starting to feel like a practice anymore. I was getting painful surges every 4 minutes, which by 2.30 became every 2 minutes. We headed to the hospital- 3 cm dilated. Due to having an underlying medical condition, the plan had been to get an early epidural to ensure that should I need an emergancy section etc, I wouldn't have to be put under general anaesthetic. My midwife (UK based) was excellent. She listened and followed my wishes to the T. The drs tried to fobb us off for another 4 hours but I said no and insisted the plan be followed. The epidural was placed and we settled in for the evening. It only worked on one side initially but after a top up and turning from side to side, we were once again good to go.
At around 1am I started feeling some pressure and asked midwife to check baby's location. She was literally on her way out! The gloves went on and after another 2 contractions and 4 rounds of pushing, she was born. Our little girl. 8 pounds 9 ounces (3.9kg) only slightly smaller than her brother at 3.98kg or 8 pounds 11 oz, two years earlier.
As the midwife delivered the placenta she noticed some bleeding. I had a secondndegree tear so she said it was likely a bleeder located there and clamped a vessel. It didn't stop. She got the Dr who confirmed it was coming from higher up. initially he thought my cervix was grazed and he packed my vagina. After 20 mins, the pack was removed but the bleeding was only getting worse. He realised I'd torn my cervix and by this point I'd lost a liter of blood. I began to get very frightened, but the surgeon was so reassuring. He crouched by my head and said "Do you see anyone running about and hanging blood?Do you hear any alarms? is anyone else looking scared? No. We have got this. You're going to be just fine- I'll have you sorted right away. Please don't worry." I felt immediately calmer and was so thankful he took the time to reassure me.
We rushed to theatre, my epidural was topped up to a spinal and I was strapped onto the operating table and titled so that my head was hanging towards the floor as they got to work at the other end. Cervix was sutured up, fluids given, packing placed and I was put on 24 hours bed rest in the high dependency unit.
I was absolutely off my face on medication for a few hours (pethidine etc given during the theatre trip!) and my reccomendation would be to ask for an anti emetic in that situation- I felt it helped me greatly throughout that part of the experience, as the medication began to make me feel horrible - especially the medication given to help reduce bleeding - it started to dry heave as soon as it entered my body. Once the zofran kicked in - I was much much happier.
After 24 hours the packing was removed and the bleeding didn't start up again. We transferred to the general post partum ward and were discharged late on the 22nd March.
Although some elements of my experience were frightening- overall I feel very positive about my experience.The people who needed to listened to me, the whole team on the floor moved swiftly and kindly to correct the issue post partum. We were treated with respect and care throughout...and best of all - we have our lovely new baby girl, Evelyn Elizabeth to join us and her big brother on our journey through life.

Hey fellas. Here's Part 10 of the Exploits of Irving Reese.
I decided that I would retire my fanfiction.net account so I can focus on posting my stories on AO3 and Reddit.
As per usual, you can also find this story and my other works Here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Irving and Enterprise woke up next to each other. Oklahoma and Malcolm’s wedding was coming soon.
Enterprise volunteered to help Oklahoma with dress shopping. While Irving, Samuel, and Warren all decided they were going to help Malcolm make plans for the wedding.
Enterprise and Oklahoma were busy looking through shop windows. The engagement ring on Oklahoma’s hand was shining in the light, and she still could not get over the fact that she was going to get married.
The two shipgirls stopped at a store that had a beautiful white wedding dress.
“I think it looks perfect on you, Oklahoma.”
“You think?”
They entered the store, and Oklahoma put it on. She smiled as she checked herself out in the mirror.
“You’re right!”
Enterprise smiled.
Meanwhile, Irving, Malcolm, Warren, and Samuel were talking about plans for the wedding with the commander. The news about the wedding had spread like wildfire, as it was the first time a shipgirl from the Eagle Union was getting married.
“So the wedding will be on September 19th, and it will be at the church on the Eagle Union part of the base.”
The Commander pulled out a gift bag.
“I have something for you, Malcolm.”
Malcolm opened it and could not believe his eyes.
Inside was a set of pink and greens. They had the patch of the 29th Infantry Division on the sleeves, along with the two chevrons of a corporal on them.
“Thank you, Commander. The other men will wear suits at the wedding.”
After the meeting was over, Irving went back to Enterprise’s room. He saw Enterprise sleeping on the couch. He laid down next to her and slept.
He knew he would have quite a busy few months ahead of him.
The next few months happened as if they didn’t exist. Irving was getting ready for Malcolm’s bachelor party. They were going to the bar with Malcolm and the men, as they planned the bachelor party months ahead of them.
Soon, Irving was at the bar. He saw where Warren, Samuel, and Malcolm were sitting. Irving joined them.
“Hey, bartender. A round of vodka shots for me and my friends.”
The bartender gave each man a shot of vodka.
Irving raised the glass into the air.
“To Malcolm. May he be the best husband he can be.”
“To Malcolm!” The group shouted in unison. They clinked their glasses together and began the party.
After a while, they could tell that they had maybe a bit too much to drink.
Irving was seeing double, and he could barely stand. Realizing that none of them could drive. Irving called anyone one of his phone contacts that wanted to answer.
Fritz picked up on the other line. Irving's raised his eyebrows.
“Hello? Irving? Why are you calling me?”
Irving hiccupped on the other end.
“Ah, Fritz, Buddy. Look, the fellas and I need a lift. Do you feel like being the drunk wrangler? We’re at the bar in the Eagle Union part of the base.”
Fritz sighed and pinched his fingers on his nose. He knew that his bachelor party ended the same way. Bismarck’s husband Heinz hade to pick him up.
He sighed.
“Alright, I’m coming to pick you up.”
Irving hung up his phone.
“Ay, Fellas. Lettin you guys know, Fritz is comin’ to pick us up.”
Before they knew it, Fritz was there to pick them up.
Malcolm rode in the front seat, as he was the least intoxicated out of the men. "I don't want Oklahoma to have to deal with me being hungover."
Warren, Samuel, and Irving all got themselves inside the backseat.
Fritz had to put the seatbelt on for the men, like he had to do for his children when they were younger.
As Fritz drove the men home, Samuel had to vomit.
Unfortunately for Irving and Warren, they were in the splash zone when he did it. Irving and Malcolm could feel the warm fluid on their shoes.
Fritz was at a red light when it happened, and as soon as he smelled vomit, he knew that one of them was the culprit. His eyes could barely contain his fury.
“Alright, who was the one who threw up?”
Samuel raised his hand, and Fritz sighed and shook his head.
“Sorry, Fritz.” Samuel was busy trying not to fall asleep.
“Don’t apologize to me, apologize to Tirpitz. It’s her car.”
Samuel could not help but blush out of embarrassment and drunkenness. Soon, the car reached the Eagle Union dorms.
While all of this was happening, Enterprise was at Oklahoma’s bachelorette party. They decided they would do some drinking and hang out at the mall.
The group was getting quite intoxicated. However, Enterprise noticed that Oklahoma did not even have a single drink.
“Why are you not drinking?”
Oklahoma blushed. She had never seen Enterprise drunk before. Her face was as red as a tomato.
“I’m the one that is getting married tomorrow, and I don’t want to be hungover for my wedding.” Oklahoma bit her lip. She was trying to keep herself from telling the real reason.
“Plus, I volunteered as the designated driver for my bachelorette party, so there's that too.”
Enterprise, Arizona, Nevada, and New Jersey all laughed as they realized that all of them were too intoxicated to drive.
Oklahoma ushered the group into her car, and she drove back to the Eagle Union dorms.
Enterprise made her way back to her room and vomited into her toilet. Her hangover had already started.
Fritz ushered the men out of the car. Fritz turned to look at Irving.
“Irving, you own me one.”
Irving knew that Fritz and Tirpitz were going to be in a very foul mood come morning. But that was not here and now. Irving and the men had to focus on making it to the dorms and sleeping off the booze.
After all, he had a massive day tomorrow.
Irving walked up to Enterprise’s room. He opened the door and confronted by a somewhat angry and also slightly hungover Enterprise.
“Where were you? Do you know how late it is!”
"Sorry Enty. I lost track of-"
Irving gagged as he ran to the toilet and puked. Enterprise watched him as he sounded like a dying donkey. She calmed down. She knew she did the same thing and that the best thing for a hangover was to rest and rehydrate.
Enterprise went into the kitchen and grabbed some water bottles. She knew that the more water Irving drank, the less hungover he would feel in the morning. She found Irving lying on the floor of the bathroom, barely conscious.
“Come on, drink this.” Putting the bottle to his lips as if she was feeding an infant.
Irving’s eyes went wide as he felt the water enter his throat. He drank it, and his eyes closed slowly.
Enterprise smirked and chuckled. Irving reminded her of an infant drinking away at a bottle. Irving looked at Enterprise.
“More.”
He reached for the other water bottle. Enterprise propped Irving against the wall of the bathroom and handed him the other water bottle.
Irving downed the water bottle quickly. He felt insanely thirsty, as if he was in the desert for two days straight.
Enterprise giggled. She never seen Irving drink so much water in such a short amount of time.
“Irving, you keep drinking like that. You’re going to piss the bed!”
Irving smiled. He knew Enterprise was no longer mad at him.
“You care to join me? I have a feeling you're gonna be hungover as well if you don’t drink like I am.”
Enterprise nodded and went to the kitchen to grab some water bottles, she returned to the bathroom and sat next to Irving.
“So, how was the party?”
Enterprise was cracking open the water bottle in her hands.
Irving laughed. “I mean, other than us almost getting kicked out of the bar, and Samuel puking in Fritz’s car, I say it went very well.”
Enterprise laughed. “It sounds like you guys had fun.”
She gulped her water bottle. It oddly impressed Irving at the feat he had witnessed.
Enterprise soon drank the second water bottle she had brought with her. After a few minutes of sitting on the bathroom floor, she got up. She reached for Irving to pick him up.
She carried Irving to bed.
“How was the bachelorette party?”
“It was fun, but Oklahoma didn’t drink a thing. Oklahoma told me she didn’t want to be hungover for her wedding.”
Irving yawned, exhausted from the night he had.
“But isn’t that the fun part at a wedding? Getting drunker than a skunk?”
Soon, Irving fell asleep. Irving awoke in the middle of the night to vomit.
He was hungover.
However, he had a wedding to attend in the morning.
Irving and Enterprise woke up next to each other. They got into the shower together and got dressed.
Irving was wearing a suit, and Enterprise was wearing a dress. Today was the day that Malcolm and Oklahoma were getting married.
They walked outside to the site of the leaves on the trees turning colors. September and Autumn had hit the base.
Irving and Enterprise made their way to the church.
Irving made his way to where Malcolm, Warren, and Samuel were.
They could tell that Malcolm was nervous. He was checking himself in the mirror, making sure that everything looked correct and that he was ready for his big day. Irving looked at his friend and gave him a small smile.
“Mal, you’re gonna do alright.”
Malcolm took a deep breath and looked at the men. Irving’s look reassured him.
Elsewhere in the church, Oklahoma was vomiting into a toilet. Nevada was on the other side of the door, listening to her sister.
“Okie? Are you alright? What’s wrong?”
Oklahoma was going to claim that it was nerves. She, however, knew the truth. Her sister could keep a secret for at least twenty-four hours.
Oklahoma opened the door to see her sister in the doorway.
She whispered the truth into Nevada’s ear. Her eyes went wide.
"Please don't tell anyone else. Especially Malcolm. I don't know how he will react."
“Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. Now let’s get you into your wedding dress, m’kay?”
Malcolm was standing at the altar, Irving standing next to him, as he had made Irving his best man at his wedding.
“Do you think I look good enough?”
“Relax. You’re going to do great.”
The church’s organ began playing “Here comes the bride” and Malcolm saw his bride walking down the aisle.
She was beautiful in her wedding dress. Nevada was already at the altar, waiting for her sister.
The priest began the service.
Soon, the couple said their vows.
“I, Malcolm Hall, take Oklahoma to be my wife, and promise to take care of her in sickness and health, till death do we part.”
He was trying to keep himself from crying tears of joy.
Oklahoma blushed as she held Malcolm’s hands.
“I, Oklahoma, take Malcolm Hall to be my husband and promise to take care of him in sickness and health, till death do we part.”
“You may now kiss the bride.”
Malcolm leaned over and kissed Oklahoma on the lips. The crowd cheered.
After some time, the couple had their first dance, and they were in heaven in each other’s embrace.
Soon it was nighttime. Irving and Enterprise left to go back home. They were in their room and in their underwear.
In the middle of the night, Irving got a call from Malcolm.
“Irving! You would believe it! Oklahoma told me that she's pregnant! I’m gonna be a dad!”
He could barely contain his excitement about his impending fatherhood.
Irving’s eyes went wide. He couldn’t believe that Malcolm and Oklahoma already had a jumpstart on starting their family.
Of course, he had reason to suspect that something was up. He noticed along with Enterprise. Oklahoma refused to drink anything alcoholic during the reception.
All he knew was Malcolm was excited he was going to be a father.
And Irving was happy for him.

Based in metro Vancouver, and looking to buy wedding bands/rings (for both of us - male and female), and seeking suggestions from fellow redditors for the best shops for us to check out.
Not interested in a custom ring, but also not interested in shopping at “big” stores like People’s or Michael Hill.
For the female ring, would like something that looks great on its own or paired with the engagement ring (halo with small diamonds).
Any advice on places to check out (ideally with brick and mortar location) is much appreciated!

The Golem effect is a psychological phenomenon in which lower expectations are placed upon individuals either by supervisors or social groups, that lead to poorer performance by the individual, or at least a (unobjective) perceived poorer performance. This effect is mostly seen and studied in educational and organizational environments.
By extension, Golem Psychiatry/Psychiatry (Golem P/P) are a common variant of clinical mental health practices that start from a presuppositional stance that any individual presented to the mental health system as being disobedient, disruptive or uncooperative must therefore have a mental defect (typically anxiety, neurodevelopmental disorders, mood issues, etc), and thus must be placed in segregated or flagged systems, seen through limiting presumptive lenses and presented socially as damaged, ill or flawed in some way that differentiates them from their peers.
Concepts such as checking on biased reporting, objective measures, fact-checking and issues with flawed social-desirability bias are typically sidelined in G P/P.
This flavor of mental health intervention unfortunately leaves the individual linked to complex issues such as the poisoning the well (fallacy), social bias, social proof, social persecution, negative forms of circular reasoning, victim-blaming, obstruction, gatekeeping, system justification and so on.
Golem P/P procedures cruelly seem to aim to keep in line with Social Proof to affirm and further the Status Quo, regardless of the negative consequences to individual themselves, possible because it is much easier (the path of least resistance) to persist in victim-blaming and bullying behaviors that it would be to change previous layers of claims, as well as the possibility of coming into professional, legal and social conflict with previous claimants.
The outcome is predetermined by G P/P practitioners, negative force is applied, and when nothing positive results, the individual is blame from the outcome. This repeats until enough negative social data and opinion is used to falsely claim objective fault on the behalf of the individual.
At no point is the individuals best interest ever considered, principally concerning the individuals right to reach their maximum potential, free of negative influence or control from the system.
It is a system that seeks to promote authoritarian and group bias, and to achieve a feeling of confirmation via applied crippling force and cycles of confirmation bias and social, economic, professional and educational sabotage.
___________________________________________
We see clear example of this in both early and current forms of Punitive Psychiatry; from labeling women's complaints as hysteria, to claiming African Americans suffered from Schizophrenia during The Civil Rights era. From examples of the system assisting abusive parents and schools in Poisonous Pedagogy, to the current system which seeks to limit people's Rights to access trust-based systems and independence via profiteering Psychiatric-Social Service Systems and Educational/Business criteria utilized to weed out perceived undesirables (resulting in extreme poverty, targeted abuse, negligence and death).
Worse, we see how social-biased obsessed peers and groups seek to promote this form of violent force and confirmation bias based approach in order to uphold outdated traditional views of power and access; based not on fact and figures, but based on the likeability of individuals dependent upon their social manipulation capabilities (the current fading status quo).

Almost a year back my dad had as stroke. Since then, he has recovered a lot, but he is still not back to hi original capabilities.
Ever since the stroke I have been more or less depressed. I even quit my previous stable job, because I was not able to focus on work. I was not even able to be productive or do my work. I have been meditating on and off and it did help me(I also lost a lot of weight).
Then for a few months I was jobless. During this period I was extremely depressed. Even suicidal. But somehow got a job in a startup run by my friend.
I am scared of multiple things. Not always but sometimes. Being laid off. Not being productive enough. I don't why, I procrastinate a lot. My therapist says I probably have mild ADHD.
I am scared of again getting health emergencies, for . myself or family.
I am scared of fianances. When my dad was there he used to take care of his business and we always had enough/more than enough. Now, I can't take care of his business, because I have to do my job. I graduated from one of India's best engineering institute, so I took up a software engineer job.
In college I was good at coding because it was a curiou new thing. However, in the job it feels very task based and I don't feel like working. I don't know if am lazy or lethargic.
These days I sleep a lot and procrastinate much more. I am scared of myself and my lethargy. I am literally working for ny first year roomate. All my friends have gotten ahead in life, this guy is literally the CEO of a company. I have other friends also, who slogged at college, but after college started getting disciplined and all. My brother too is doing better than me.
I on the other hand is just struggling with basic work, being very lazy and lethargic and anxious, not doing my work.
The field of software is also very fast changing, if I don't keep learning I fail.
And there's a Recession going on with layoffs and all in other companies. I don't know how long I will last in this job. Being jobless was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Because I was a studious person, my identity was heavily linked to my career. Having none for 3 months depressed the shit out of me.
I am 24 year old male. I had a girlfriend with whom I had a long distance relationship, but she also broke up. I have never had sex either.
Now am also responsible for my mom and dad along with my life. The world feels very heavy and difficult.

TL;DR: The DM throws random insane stuff that makes no sense at us until we switch him out.
I've been playing in a D&D group for my college class. The class is only 24 people and 6 of us are in the game. I hadn't played in a few years (I was supposed to play in college but ran into some time overlaps and it just didn't happen.) I created our discord and started to organize everything. I made a spreadsheet to find the best time for us to all get together. We didn't have a DM and one of us volunteered. In fact, it's the problem player in this story. I have now since taken over as DM by vote.
To start this guy was someone who gave me a lot of bad vibes from the start. I shoved those vibes down because I had barely known him at the time. Sitting down at our first game we had a small group.
I was playing a Paladin loyal to the god Shakara The Silent (This will be relevant later.) The god himself refused to talk to us mere mortals and my church had the belief that we just were not worthy. Shakara had fought a great demon a thousand years ago and had not been heard from since. Now in truth, Shakara had actually lost that battle and had been locked in chains for a millennium but the church had yet to discover that.
I had to make sure my character was a fresh take from what I was used to. So my character became the best boy out there. His goal in life was to help everyone. He was a missionary carrying 100 pamphlets to hand out. Someone building a house on their travel? Hey, it's a few hours for us but it makes this guy's whole day. In a fight? We can talk them out of it, trust me. He was meant to be naive as hell and a challenge for the party. I made him tanky so I could still be helpful but I couldn't kill anyone.
Now let's say I did kill something by accident... He would go into a deep depression and not be able to function. The hope was that eventually in the game I would be able to use that as some character development.
Foreshadowing.
The DM decided to start before the party would meet. I found that really interesting. K, our group's Rogue (The only other veteran at the table) was in a prison convoy for a crime they hadn't committed. Interesting, I'm sure we'll meet in an interesting way, perhaps I have to break them out of their wrongful imprisonment and-
I got teleported in front of the convoy.
I don't mean the DM just had me wonder in front of the convoy, I mean I found a teleportation door and just happened to show up there.
Now my missionary is then promptly accused of a crime. Sure, okay sounds good, what is it?
I was accused of murdering the king. Later in this same session, we would meet the king. The math is not checking out on this one.
My character pulls out his pamphlets to try and prove that I had just started my mission and it wouldn't be possible. Nope. I was arrested and taken to jail.
This was frustrating, but okay, sure, plot train choo-choo.
From here we came across the 3rd member of our group who has since quit the game for unrelated reasons. The 3 of us were soft-locked by the DM at this point. Our weapons are gone, our armor striped and our items confiscated. There were no cracks in the wall or rust on the bars. This should have been the moment I realized the DM had no idea what they were doing, but that comes later.
I try sparking a conversation with the guard. I hand him my last pamphlet which he then tears up and hands back. The DM then describes it as something that has been written on the interior. What could it contain? All that was written inside was "Escape."
The fuck what now?
We've been asking questions trying to get for 4 minutes and he can't understand we have nothing that we can use to do that. So I ask the guard "And how are we supposed to do that?"
"With this."
And he hands us a club.
"Thanks for holding out on us."
I was IRL kind of annoyed. But whatever, let's break out. I strike the wall with all my force.
AND I KILLED A CHILD SOLDIER ON THE OTHER SIDE. NO DAMAGE DICE. NO ROLL TO HIT.
I BLEW UP HIS HEAD.
Now my paladin starts to freak the hell out. Collecting the bits and pieces to save the kid. When he obviously can't save the kid he starts to carry around the corpse to at least give it a proper burial. The DM at this time is laughing at my character's misfortune. No one else is.
Now, that kid would later be fed to crocodiles by a fellow party member but that's beside the point.
Before we can open the door the king (That I had apparently murdered) bursts through the door with 20 of his best men and tells us that we are going to kill the dragon terrorizing the land. Alright, sure, plot train Choo-Choo hop let's kill the dragon.
He introduces us to our "home base" for the game with a flying sled just like Old Saint Nick's.
Now, this is where the first session ended. At the time I viewed it as a rough start but overall alright.
The second session is the real turn of the tide.
We have our first mission, we hop into our flying sled and as we're flying we enter into my new favorite dimension.
THE MIRROR DIMENSION Music sting.
Yeah, we just slide right in, no saving throws, nothing.
Now it's also around this time now that we're in THE MIRROR DIMENSION Music sting that we find an under-compartment. Now our Rogue decides to slip down there to see what's below. Skulls and body parts. But there was a magic scroll. The Rogue reads it and sees a vision of the future. Where my head is separate from my body, and the 3rd player is sitting on a throne. Always great to hear that my character is going to die. Then the Rogue returns through... The other player's eye...
We were stunned. This didn't even make sense to us, and I'm pretty sure the DM didn't either. Soon after our sled is going to crash. No roll, again. Just going to happen. At this point I am so disconnected I just say "Wait until the last second and jump." I am the only one who pulls it off, I jump out of the sled and the rest end up crashing into a castle.
This is when things just stopped making any sense. Now, what can I do? Mr. The law is the law for a reason. I knock. Inside the castle is god. Just straight up god. God is just chilling inside of THE MIRROR DIMENSION Music sting. And god tells me to leave. I get a little upset because this CLEARLY isn't my god, so I start telling him off a little. "Hey, my friends are in there and I need them!" what does god do?
He strips my paladin powers.
For those who don't understand, this is the literal worst thing that can happen to a paladin. And this is the second session. My Paladin doesn't stop, I start demanding my friends. God then rolls to tell me they don't think I'm their friend and he succeeded.
"No. No, they- You're lying they... OH GOD! Oh god no..."
My character apparently cries for 8 hours. Sure, why not. But the DM is laughing again, and no one else is.
Eventually, I break out the other players, and my character, with their life ruined, decides to start a church here in THE MIRROR DIMENSION Music sting.
Now this session wasn't just bad, it was terrible. The only way we got through it was by making fun of the DM's terrible story. I made the joke that THE MIRROR DIMENSION Music sting was reversed in every regard. Evil became good, left was right, and cats and dogs got along. Now the DM every time someone would make that joke would state "NO! That's not how the mirror dimension works!"
"If you're a good god, then the god on the other side of the mirror dimension must be evil! You need to fight him!"
"That's not how the mirror dimension works!"
"Gravity must be reversed here in the mirror dimension!"
"THAT'S NOT HOW THE MIRROR DIMENSION WORKS!"
All I can say is everything is the way it is inside of THE MIRROR DIMENSION Music sting.
​
Edit: I forgot to mention this: The DM explicitly told me that he wanted to break my character after the second session. I'm not that paranoid.

Tw* COC SA/SA in general
Hi. I’ve never really used or posted to reddit but i have no one else to open up to at this point. I’m praying my boyfriend who uses reddit won’t see this, especially not soon.
I’m (19) not doing the best mentally, there’s been a lot of things going on these past few months and I can’t open up about it. My boyfriend (20) knows vague details, just about the events but not how they make me feel. I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel exhausted and useless and I’ve been reliving the assault I went through. I didn’t realize how traumatic it was for me, but to see the person who did it to me at family events has always made me feel uneasy. I’ve spent many months considering ending my life. It feels like the only person who wants me around is my boyfriend and I can’t tell if I’m just getting into my head or not, but it feels like he doesn’t want me around anymore. He doesn’t know really anything about what i went through, he doesn’t know who, he doesn’t know how old i was, i’m not even sure he knows it happened. I don’t know. I’m tired and I want to go home, but there is no home. I just don’t want to do this anymore.
anyways, thanks for reading.

Day 2: 4 hours 58 minutes, up 4 minutes from the previous day, but in my defense I did some (Spring!) cleaning on my phone specifically so that I will spend less time on it going forward, so I'll give myself a little (not too much) forgiveness. I'm still under my 6-hour max and my pre-journal 7.7 average, and I'll probably set up a new lower max on tomorrow's journal. I don't think I'll be making daily posts unless I somehow have new info to keep track of every day, but we'll see.
A round-up of my excuses:
1) Aforementioned (Spring!) cleaning of my phone.
2) Setting up some anti-phone usage apps. I have the timers I set up yesterday (yes I extended quite a few of them, shame on me) but also added StayFree and YourHour on top of my built-in one. I like StayFree best since you can set timers + leave yourself messages, neither of which I've located yet on YourHour, but YourHour's advantage seems to be the little auto-generated challenges and "diets" of apps. I might use looking at other apps as another excuse tomorrow, we'll see (the squeakquel).
If anybody knows, are the world averages on StayFree based on averages of app-users or fr fr worldwide stats? I need to know how ashamed I should be.
3) A very cheap-sounding excuse: my Wifi is so bad the last few days that I legitimately believe it's increasing my screentime. I'm talking multiple minutes to load a full webtoon, minutes on end to upload files that I assure you aren't for funsies. I'm not quite malleable enough to try subtracting time from my total over it, but boy am I thinking it in my head.

Warning: This is a way too long and probably very dumb post about my personal experience listening to the new album that I don't know if anyone but me will care about, but I'm posting it anyway because I've spent too long writing it to throw it away now.
So I found out about Owl City in 2019 (which feels like a long time ago for me) and he was the first artist that I like, actually became a fan of. I immediately fell in love with his music, listened to all of it and loved it, and then for the next year or so I listened to it all the time. After that, a lot of things began to change in my life and I eventually started to listen to it less and less, but I still appreciated what it had done for me and I looked back at it with fond memories. And then this year, when he announced he was coming back with a new album, I didn't really know how I felt about it. Of course I was excited, it was the first time I would actually be there to witness a release of any sort from him which was very exciting, but I also felt like I was a much different person than I was when I listened to the rest of his music for the first time. Yeah, it had only been about 3 years but as I said a lot had changed in my life, so I didn't know what I would think when I actually listened to the new album. But regardless, today I went to the park feeling somewhat nervous, found a nice place to sit down and listened to the album. And it's been about two hours since then and I am still trying to process my emotions from it. I feel like the three singles we got from the album were all pretty light-hearted - a song about vacations, a song about working at a grocery store and a Castaways song (I still need to watch that movie). And when I listened to those three as they came out, I thought, "Oh, this is going to be another fun, light-hearted album like Ocean Eyes. Cool". And there was definitely some more of that on the full album (I knew Learn How to Surf was going to be a bop from the preview but the full thing is an absolute banger), but there were also some heavier songs that I was absolutely not emotionally prepared for when I listened to them. I don't know if "heavier" is the right way to describe it, but they made me feel stuff is what I'm trying to say. Namely Dinosaur Park, Under the Circus Lights and The Tornado. These three songs in particular made me feel more emotions than any Owl City song has in the past and I do not know why, or how to describe any of said emotions. I don't know if that's just because the songs are really good (which they definitely are either way) or because this is the first time I've listened to one of those kind of OC songs for the first time since 2019. By "those kind" of OC songs I mean like, ones that have that special kind of charm that makes you go, "Wow, life is actually beautiful" (Cheesy I know, but it's true for me at least). And I was not expecting to feel that ever again, but I did, and it's just been so long since I've last felt that, or it feels like it at least because so much has changed and happened to me since then. But it's still true, life is still beautiful, just like it was then, and it will keep being true no matter how much I change and how many bad things happen to me. Am I overreacting? I probably am, it's just an album after all, but it means a lot to me either way. Music is a weird thing for me, usually I like to look at art through an objective lens and judge it, but with music, my opinion on it is solely based on how it made me feel, and I have a hard time judging it any other way. Maybe Coco Moon isn't technically the best album of his so far, I'll leave everyone else on this sub to decide on that, but it's definitely had the greatest effect on me personally out of any of his albums. A lot may have changed, about both me and Adam's music, but Owl City still connects with me personally in a way no other piece of art ever has. Thank you, Adam, for letting me feel that magic again, and I hope you will continue to make beautiful songs like these and change peoples' lives for the better for years and years to come.

This past weekend, I went on a date with a girl I had been crushing over for a little over a month. It took me a while to build up the courage to ask her out, but I did and she accepted. I asked her out two days before we ended up actually hanging out, and my fear of rejection pivoted into a fear that she was not going to be the idealized version of her that my mind had constructed during that two day lead-up. I realize that this fear may have been a masquerade of my own fear of being boring/uninteresting, but I still had those thoughts nevertheless.
Anyways, I had a really good time on the date and it lasted over four hours, and I was relieved that I actually found her very interesting and I noticed some definite green flags. My feelings for her, which were previously based on little direct interaction, felt justified. As we were parting ways at the end of the date, I told her that I had romantic feelings for her, and that I wanted to be transparent. She responded that she really enjoyed hanging out with me and would be willing to do it again, but she did not have romantic feelings for me. I was momentarily scared that she just said that to be nice, but she did send a text around 15 minutes after we parted ways, thanking for me for her coffee and reiterating that she had a lot of fun. This made me feel reassured that she would want a second date.
Three days later, I asked her if she wanted to do hangout again this weekend. She said that she was really busy this week and was unavaiable. She also explained that she had a lot of fun hanging out with me, but that she still felt the same way {i.e. did not have feelings}. She said she would be down to hang out again with me, but just wanted to be transparent about where she stood. I asked her if we could chat about her response over FaceTime, and she agreed to do that. That conversation involved me explaining when and how I developed feelings for her, and how I wanted to proceed with our relationship. I explained that I was not interested in hanging out as plantonic friends, and that I only wanted to hangout if she saw potential for a romantic relationship. She said that she was not interested in a romantic relationship, and that she wanted to focus on herself.
I just can't help but wonder if I shared my feelings too quickly. My feelings felt authentic, and I wanted to be honest about them. I'm scared that all this may have given her whiplash, and that it may have been too much, too soon. I guess I'm also confused because I thought that people wanted you to be transparent about your intentions right away. I am pretty certain that she thought it was a date and not just a hangout, so I was thinking that it was not a big jump to tell her that I had feelings for her. I wish I would have asked her if she thought it was a date during our last conversation.
Also, because I already got her to have that conversation with me about my stance on a romantic/platonic relationship, I feel like I cannot ask her to have another convo about these other questions that I have in my mind {e.g. if it was too much too soon}. I regret not asking those questions, and it feels like I'll never get closure... I can't stop asking myself "what if I waited to tell her how I felt".
I'm kinda just looking for advice on whether or not I shared my feelings too soon, so consider the stuff under this paragraph to be extra. I'm just going to talk about some of the other things I'm feeling/thinking right now. Any comments on the stuff below would also be appreciated, but if you're going to focus on anything, I'd say focus on the stuff above.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

• I mentioned that she said that she wanted to focus on herself, and was not interested in a relationship. I am so caught up in trying to find the reason that she did not want to go on the second date, and this reason that she gave me just feels so unsatisfactory. I have used this same reason when explaining to other girls that I was not interested, but that was usually a lie. I was either not attracted to them, or did not find them interesting. So, I want to know her "real reason", I suspect that she also wanted to reject me in a nice way, just like I did with those other girls, but that there was a "real reason" for her rejection that was a lil bit less nice.
• I'm starting to feel like an imposter here... that I'm weird for developing strong feelings before even really getting to know her. We had previously interacted in group settings a few times, but no one-on-one conversations. I became so attached {and maybe even in love} with the idea of the idealized version of her, and I fantasized about what the relationship could look like. I imagined what it would look like to go on walks, watch movies together, cuddle, sit at cool cafes, etc. This attachment has led to some despair, because my mind was so convinced that she was the one for me, and that I will not find anyone else. That's what makes this all feel so catastrophic; she was the golden ticket: pretty, smart, asked good questions, good listener, interesting, etc. But I screwed up, I will not find someone else like her. I realize this is myopic, but this is how I feel right now.
• I'm just so confused with all of this. How is a healthy relationship supposed to develop? Am I supposed to ask girls out based on a hunch that they might be good for me {before attachment/feelings develop}, or am I supposed to have a crush on them before I ask them out? If I have a crush on someone when I ask them out, am I supposed to be honest about that? When do I tell them that I have feelings? In the case of asking them out on a hunch, is that weird? Am I supposed to have a certain amount of interactions or certain level of comfort with them before asking them out?
• It;s only been a little bit over a day since that last conversation, but my mind wants to hold onto the hope that she will eventually come to me with the realization that she has changed her mind, and that she is interested in going on a second date. A piece of me hopes to see her name everytime I get a notification on my phone. It's like I want her to know that she screwed up, and that it was her loss. I have daydreamt about some omnitopent being coming to her in a dream or something, telling her that I would be the best for her, and that she needs to act fact to revitalize the relationship. I want her to know that I was right, and that she was wrong.
• I did not really have any other recent dating experience. I am a twenty year old guy in university who has not really been on a date since high school. I've hung out with girls at university who were interested in me, but my mind was not really treating them as dates so I was not dealing with much anxiety.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post, and I wish you a wonderful rest of your day.
Also, I realize that there is a weekly thread for relationships stuff, but this just felt like a lot for a thread, so I did downvote and report the bot comment about relationships.

Name: Ad-Ad Fruit
Ability: The Ad-Ad Fruit (Kōkoku Kōkoku no Mi) is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create and manipulate advertisements around them. Making the user a Salesman Human.
Appearance: The Ad-Ad Fruit is a white head-sized fruit that has a long pointed nose-like protrusion that sticks out from the large amount of foliage from under the fruit that covers the whole fruit. Sticking out from the top of the foliage is a black stem that comes out of the top of the fruit, the stem form into a ‘G’ shape and then curls flatly similar to dots on both ends of the stem, strangely enough the stem’s coloration switches from black to bright red once.
In-Depth Description: Upon consumption the user is granted the ability to create and manipulate advertisements of any type and through any medium. Through coming into physical contact with an advert, the user is able to completely change the appearance of that advertisement and make it one of their [Ads]. Once that happens, the user is capable of remotely seeing through any of their [Ads] and allowing the user to see the current [wants and needs] of whoever is looking at the advertisement as well as communicate through them; and in-real time the user is able remotely change it’s contents to further appeal to the customer who might take the offer. If the customer were to take the offer on the advertisement through either verbal confirmation, signed documentation, or willingly shaking the user’s hand to officialize the [[DEAL]]. Depending on the few situations after a [[DEAL]] is made will the [true power] of the Ad-Ad Fruit take effect.
After striking a [[DEAL]] with a customer, the user must be able to deliver their end of the [[DEAL]] before being capable of receiving the customer’s payment. If the user is unable to fulfil their end of the bargain, then the [[DEAL]] will be immediately voided and any payment made by the customer will be returned in full back to them. But if the user possesses the [“intended product”], then the deal will proceed as normal with the customer receiving the product while the user receives the agreed form of [payment] while in person or through the [Ad] acting as a gateway for both [product] and [payment]. As to more favour the user, they are able to [[SCAM]] the customer so long as they don’t ask for the user to inspect the [product], sign the [“required”] documentation without reading it, or unconditionally accept the [[DEAL]]. While the user has to meet their end of the [[DEAL]], the quality and condition of the [“intended product”] does not need to meet such requirements as long as it looks like the [“intended product”] or it fulfils the purpose of [“intended product”]. The rules of both of these conditions are incredibly loose in interpretation, allowing the user to exchange a bad copy/bootleg of the [“intended product”] so long as it meets either requirements.
However, in the event that the customer does not possess the required payment either during the immediate [[DEALmaking]] or they fail to meet the steps of alternative paying methods, the user is then able to invoke special string-like green wires that rain down upon the [InDEBT Consumer] and attach themselves into their body from behind them. These [[Silly Strings]] are completely invisible to those who either aren’t indebted to the user or to a customer who hasn’t noticed anything, but if the user were to tell someone how this particular facet of the fruit works, then they will have the capacity to see these green wires. Once someone becomes a [InDEBT Consumer] the user is capable of slowly but surely manipulating them into doing what they want, with the more [[Silly Strings]] embedded into their body, the more overall control and sway the user has over them. So long as one green wire remains, the user will always know where the [InDEBT Consumer] is located. Just having a few green wires attached to you will make one susceptible to the user’s [“sweet words”] and [[Sales Pitches]], as well as being more blind to such actions of the user, to then end up with more [[Silly Strings]] attached onto their body. With a certain amount of green wires, the user is then capable of influencing a [InDEBT Consumer]’s actions through sleight hand movements and or verbal commands, after a few green wires after that stage, they will begin to become more reliant and gullible to such [“endearing encouragement”] from the user.
With enough [[Silly Strings]] attached onto a [InDEBT Consumer], their minds will become fully oblivious to any [“bad publicity”] of the user and do just about any of the user’s whims and bidding. However if a [InDEBT Consumer] were to become too indebted to the user and possess far to many [[Silly Strings]], then their mind will automatically start to deteriorate to the point of insanity, and become potentially become too unstable for the user to verbally manipulate them. When at such a stage, a [InDEBT Consumer] will fully acknowledge the existence of the [[Silly Strings]]. But just like all other [InDEBT Consumers], they themselves are unable to cut their own [[Silly Strings]], requiring the help of [“non-consumers”] to cut these green wires.
Back onto the [Ads] part of the devil fruit, the overall range the user has depends on the amount of [Ads] of any kind relative to each other. With the user’s pseudo-omniscience ranging far and wide as long as an [Ad] is in the relative range of another [Ad]. If a chain of [Ads] are all in relative range of each other and the user is at least in the radius range of one of the [Ads] making up the chain. Then the user will have complete and perfect vision through all of them. If the user is not in range of a mass of [Ads] then the viewing quality from them will begin to lessen. But if there are enough [Ads] in relative range from each other, then that will generally improve the user’s pseudo-omniscience. However the user themselves also possesses an effective range themselves, with the more in range the user and [Ad] are to each other the stronger the connection. The user’s range is able to be widened and increased with the more [[DEALS]] they make, which in turn slowly increases the range of the [Ads]. An individual [Ad] can have their own connectivity increased with the more customers they draw in and the amount of [[DEALS]] the user makes through that specific [Ad].
Now onto the last facet of the devil fruit, the user is capable of manifesting [Ads] from technological mediums such as [Pop-ups], [3D Models], [PNG/JPGs], and [Videos] into the real-world. Taking the same form as viewed on a Computer or Phone and appearing out of them into the real-world, where the user can telepathically move them around, enlarge them, shrink them, and stretch them. Whilst manifested they are very incredibly durable and can withstand any elemental attack as if it were all the same, however by tapping the close button the top right of these digital [Ads] will make them disappear. They function just like regular [Ads] of the physical world, possessing a relative range and can allow the user to see through them.
Weaknesses: The Ad-Ad Fruit is a devil fruit that is not inherently combat-based, requiring a lot of preparation before the devil fruit can be used in such a sense. As on its own it does leave the user with many options besides the primary facets of the devil fruit’s powers. While people who are obvious to the green wires or people who have green wires attached to them but don’t notice the effect they cause are completely unable to see these green wires attached to them and seemingly originate from the sky above. Non-affected people who have been informed by the user themselves of the green wires or have figured out themselves are capable of snipping the green wires. While the user can turn normal advertisable media into their own, allowing for further use of their devil fruit abilities, despite becoming more sturdy in terms of not flying in the wind if a gust came, they will all still possess the same durability and weaknesses as their normal counterparts.
The main demographic for the user are usually run of the mill people, people who aren’t observant enough to pick up the pieces of very slight things that happen to them. Such as the feeling of something latching onto them, their body doing something on their own, or feeling a certain way toward something all of a sudden. All manifested technology ads are the ads usable form combat, however they are at the same time the easiest to deal with. Just by hitting the top right “X” button to close the floating window. Most importantly, the user of the fruit must be somewhat capable of being a sales(wo)man or be willing to learn as a minimum to use this fruit at all or just be able to lie very well to people without feeling guilty.
Combative Info: The Ad-Ad Fruit in its entirety is not inherently for combative use, however it is capable of such use. Through coming into contact with any technological medium that adverts can be placed in, the user can make such ads manifest in the real-world. The windows from computer-like mediums are very durable, easily withstanding multiple cannon fire without such much as a crack. And are also capable of cutting someone by spinning it to further increase the windows cutting power. 3D polygon models act similar to props then anything that the user can telekinetically throw, if it so happened to be an animated model, then once manifested it will repeat its actions in a loop. The user is capable of raising the volume and brightness of video pop-ups to both blind and deafen opponents.
While the user ensnares more people in debt as well as deepening their staggering debt to the user for not doing their end of the deal. The user can forcibly take control of the user’s green wires and puppeteer them into fighting, operating in a similar fashion to Doflamingo’s Parasite technique. And the user is able to detach green wires from nearby indebted customers and manipulate to wrap around or attack the unaffected opponent while at the same time not attaching any debt onto them. However this not only allows the unaffected person to see the green wires, but also be able to cut them while they are in physical contact, even if they manage to snap a green wire, then that wire will not be reattached to their original indebted recipient. But can still be used by the user to attack opponents, but they can still be re-used for their intended purpose on another or an upcoming [InDEBT Consumer].
Non-Combative Info: Despite the absurdly greedy uses of the Ad-Ad Fruit, it is still an incredibly useful devil fruit for normal commercial uses or really any other form of normal trading uses. The user can easily create high-quality advertisements of any kind for any purpose on any advertisable medium. Being able to create a fully fledged security system by viewing through any and all [ads].
Techniques:
[Advertise]: The user physically touches a medium used for advertisement and transforms it into whatever form of marketable advertisement the user can imagine. When used on things such as paper or signs, the user erases whatever was written/printed on them before printing whatever they could think of. When used on a technological device, the user is simply able to instantly create pop-up ads and video advertisements. So long as it was possible on the chosen medium.

• [Limited Time Promotion]: The user creates a special ad under the guise of a promotional campaign, and whatever they are selling will be only available for a limited time. Increasing incentive for unassuming targets to quickly make a deal as the user reduces the time limit to add pressure on them.
• [Auction Sweepstake]: The user creates advertisements through any televised or radio broadcasting linked to a special advertisement that visually presents an auction sweepstake of multiple [“intended product”] that hypes them up and pretends to increase the bidding from a low price to make it look very valuable.
• [Wonder Trading]: The user creates numerous special ads that work off the basis of giving away a random item in response to a target donating a random item through this special advert. The value of the item given and received are completely, but the user can alter such values to weigh to their favour or someone else's. In addition to being able to see one’s wants and needs, the user can give out specific items to targets so that they are incentivized to donate more for similar items they desire.

[[Silly Strings]]: The user summons special string-like green wires from the sky onto the backs of a [InDEBT Consumer]. The more wires attached onto the back of a victim, the more susceptible they are to any of the user’s manipulations. The wires themselves become more durable and stronger the further the number of th deals the user makes, but will decrease the more deals get broken. While general training with them will make the base strength of the wires more stronger.

• [Sleight of Hand]: The user calls for a specific line of [[Silly Strings]] that are attached to a [InDEBT Consumer]. It will descend from the sky and wrap around the user’s finger, from there the user is able to completely control whatever part of the victim the wire is attached to. From making ever so slight hand gestures to weave the [InDEBT Consumer] to do whatever the user wants so long as they don’t make it apparent or obvious that they're being orchestrated.
• [Debt Termination]: The user manipulates all of the [[Silly Strings]] attached to a [InDEBT Consumer] and wrapped them in a dangerous sharp hold; particularly around the neck and in turn strangling them to death. Although when the user does this, the [[Silly Strings]] become visible to anyone around the victim who isn’t in debt, allowing them to snip the wires during this time.
• [Account Freeze]: The user summons all the [[Silly Strings]] attached to a [InDEBT Consumer] and simply halt the movement of the victim, for further entrapment the user wills the strings to wrap around the joints of the [InDEBT Consumer]. However once more doing such an action will cause non-[InDEBT Consumers] to witness the existence of the [[Silly Strings]].
• [Raining Green]: The user releases all the [[Silly Strings]] from a [InDEBT Consumer’s] body, causing them to each detach from that victim. The user then manipulates all of them to rain down upon a target and pierce them straight through. Alternatively the user can wrap themselves in a few of the [[Silly Strings]] to lift themselves off the ground and into the air. Similar to that of the [String-String Fruit].

[Manifested Windows]: The user focuses their [Ad-Ad Fruit] power on an advertisement off a technological screen. This causes the advertisement shown on the screen to begin to distort before literally coming out of the screen and assuming itself a 3d form. These manifested windows can be used in various ways from offence to defence. These 3d advertisements can be interacted with like advertisements the user creates. But the user is able to revert any of these manifests into 2d shapes and place them around like normal handout adverts, minimising them so that they maximise when someone is near, or make them float toward the nearest person and harass them.

• [3D Knockout]: The user creates manifested windows advertisements, and transforms them into 2d windows before having them slide underneath certain parts of a target’s body. And after they’ve slid under, the 2d windows instantly become 3d once more and collide into the target with excessive force.
• [[POP-UP Tabs]]: The user creates manifested windows advertisements, and transforms them into 2d windows before minimising them. The 2d manifested windows then sneak up on a target, and right when they least expect it, the windows maximise themselves and pop-up right in-front of the target.
• [Spam Mail]: The user or their [InDEBT Consumer] sets up many hidden pop-ups, minimised and scattered across every corner, door, window, device, etc and have them activated to the closest sentient being approaches its proximity. The Spam Mail pop-up will surprise and continuously annoy them by playing their own sound clips over and over again. And whenever they are closed, they will slightly shift out of the way.
• [Advertisement Block]: The user either during or out of combat grabs a manifested window and expands the window out to defend against attacks. But when expanded, the user can also turn the entire window 3-D, gaining a sudden immense amount of weight added to it. And crushing whoever the user drops it on, or they can use it as a shield or blockade.
• [Loud Notification]: The user creates a special variation of pop-up tab, that plays a loud and obnoxious-type of ringing noise whenever they are open. They can be programmed to follow targets and continuously play the same sound over again similar to spam mail.
• [Advertised Product]: The user reaches over and sticks their hand into an advertisement that’s showcasing an item and grabs it. Then the user pulls the product out of advertisement and into the real world. The user can use the product similar to the actual version, however it will be only half as effective. All that is left of the product from the advertisement is a white space shaped exactly like the item.

Awakening:
Once the user of the Ad-Ad Fruit awakens, catching up their body and mind to the levels of their own ability. The standard abilities given when first consumed are significantly increased beyond what they were before, the proverbial range of advertisements are increased, the strength and durability of [[Silly Strings]] improved, the intricacies of the [InDEBT Consumer]’s body that can be manipulated are heightened, and much more. The former weakness of the devil fruit where the user needed a pre-established advertisement or materials to use their devil fruit has been lifted to an extent*****. Now all the user needs to do to create an advertisement is to simply make a sales pitch of any kind, with the more grandeur the pitch, the stronger the advertisement. The user can even now conjure pop-up tabs and digital lettering in thin air to help begin a sales pitch, or enhance their own speechcraft. They can even be used in combat if the user desires, though they are not as potent as physical advertisements or manifested tabs.
However that is only half of the entire awakening, the other half focuses on the conceptual power of the devil fruit and what the user can exactly turn into an “Advertisement”. While in the pre-awakening state, the user is only able to bargain for and sell physical objects and beings. Now the user is able to wrap their [[Silly Strings]] on more intangible [products] such as a person’s soul, in turn granting complete control over an individual, or perhaps something that has yet to exist like a person’s first born. Or even something tied to their very being like their devil fruit ability, though [WARNING: ANY ATTEMPT FOR THE USER OF AD-AD FRUIT TO ABSORB INTO THE POWER OF ANOTHER DEVIL FRUIT USER THAT HAD [“willingly”] SOLD THEIR DEVIL FRUIT POWER TO THEM WILL SUFFER FROM SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION OF THEIR ENTIRE BODY. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS\.]*
Lastly while the user is able to wrap their [[Silly Strings]] on more intangible [products], the user is now capable of extending what they can exactly turn into advertisement. Following more in line with a standard paramecia awakening, but in a thematic way, any land the user comes into [“ownership”] of and becomes their [“property”]. The wielder of the Ad-Ad Fruit is able to freely change and manipulate everything within and connected to the user’s square feet of land into advertisements. While the user is unable to manipulate the environment in the same way as other paramecia users due to the less malleable nature of advertisements. The esoteric nature of advertisements and how exactly the user can portray their power because of how broad an advertisement can be makes up for the lack of traditional control over their transformed land. But there is a singular weakness to this facet of the Ad-Ad Fruit, which is that if the deed or proof of documentation (and if there isn't any, one is automatically created every time the user assumes control of a lone land.) is destroyed or damaged, then the affected environment will either be completely reverted back or parts of it will instead.
Awakened Techniques:
[Deal with the Devil]: The user creates a [specil] one time only [DEAL], however compared to the normal advertisements the user creates, this one is created with the intention of the user trading for something not entirely physical but something that has value to a specific customer. This [DEAL] is more one on one than any other advertisement deal. Requiring the soon to be customer to either sign on the dotted line of a document to finalise the dealmaking, or by [“willingly”] shaking the user’s hand.

• [Deal for Another Life]: The user creates a [specil] one time only [DEAL] for someone who needs assistance in saving someone, be it that they're in a dying state or simply injured. By accepting the [DEAL] for the user to save the life of another, the recipient will have their condition ”heal” in a sense depending on the situation. If medical supplies are in the vicinity capable of mending them, then the Ad-Ad Fruit will use those supplies to instantaneously patch them up. If there are none, then the [“customer”] will have either their own life or a certain amount of years off their life to help save or extend out the recipient’s.
• [Devil for a Devil]: The user creates a [specil] one time only [DEAL] for the intent of trading the devil fruit abilities of two people between them. Once that either sign or shake each other’s hands with the user present to finalise the dealmaking. Both people will begin to convulse and scream from the pain of the swapping of devil fruits, what appears out from them appears to be the will or soul of their particular devil fruits which pass by each other before phasing into their new user's body.

[Ad Infinitum]: The user proceeds to make a literal one time only [DEAL] like no other to whom but the Ad-Ad Fruit itself, arranging a [DEAL] that will allow the user to gain a significant amount of power by absorbing all existing goods received through every [DEAL] the user has ever made. In turn however, once the user has finished with what they had intended to do with the power, parts of their own individuality is exchanged by the Ad-Ad Fruit itself with one perfectly lined with the devil fruit’s function. That of being a Salesman and their job of making deals. However once done, they themselves will be ensnared by [[Silly Strings]] with them even knowing, and secretly manipulating them into performing and doing things that allows them to make more deals and benefit them.

• [NEO]: One of two transformations the user can undergo once the deal has been made, and is mostly done through the intake of many material items the user has ["respectfully"] received from a ["customer"]. Granting them a physiology similar to that of a mechanical machine. Allowing to shrug off a majority of dangers that normally threaten a [MEAT PERSON]. They are able to fly at great speeds and ascend as high as they want due to the [[Silly Strings]] attached to their back once in this form. For combat they have many options, from blasting opponents with their arm cannon, opening their chest cavity for their own mechanical heart to spring out and shoot out white diamonds, and even increasing their own size to ram into and squish their opposition.
• [OMEGA]: The second and most powerful and the two transformations the user can undergo once the deal has been made, and is made when on top of absorbing material items, they also take into both the souls of people who gave them up and actual living people who sold their lives to the user. The main difference between the two forms is not only in power but also in sheer size and mobility being more slow. During both transformations, the user experiences a even higher boost in their ability of manipulating and transforming their [“property”] into anything advertisable.

P/N: I had created this fruit around the beginning of 2022, but never got around to actually starting anything. But then around the time Spamton Sweepstakes started I then, randomly out of nowhere, thought of the entire concept for the devil fruit.
I will say that I gave up at the end with the awakening moves, due to not feeling the best. But I just wanted to get this devil fruit over and done with. Any of the moves are up for interpretation.

I hope this isnt too annoying for everyone with this post. However im brand new to warhammer painting. I just came home from the shops with some supplies for painting. I talked a fair bit to the staff and they helped me out a little but I also want to talk to some of the people who actively paint and such.
What i bought is a cadian shock troop miniture set along with a commissar miniture. I was told it is good to have the first coat be something like a black coat from a spray paint, so i bought a Vallejo Hobby Paint spray can, along with that i got some base colors that can be used for cloaths. They are: layer Karak stone, Dry Dawnstone (i was reccomended for dry brush), base grey knight steel and i also have a blue for a plasma weapon for later.
I have a few old brushes from painting years ago but I did buy three brushes that i belive will help. They are: The Army Painter Hobby : dry brush, The Army Painter Hobby : Precise Detail and The Army Painter Wargamer: monster brush.
It would be really helpful to possibly get some YouTube videos linked that i can watch along side as its easier for me to follow along and understand but all information can help me start.
I have been wanting to do this for a while so I will take any help/advice I can get. Thank you if you have any help and best of luck painting for everone.
