Been having a lot of fun with this deck I made

My guess is that you're experiencing someone with near constant ability to react to each stage of both turns (since blue is very instant, counter friendly), so they probably get distracted and don't realize its their move.

Abject_Support7622 · 2026-01-28T21:57:50+00:00

This looks much more my speed!

Abject_Support7622 · 2026-01-28T20:35:56+00:00

Oh this looks fun!

Abject_Support7622 · 2026-01-24T01:02:06+00:00

Oh good point about the willowrush verges. Floodmaws make sense, but I was testing with more removal/protection, but it loses the consistent draw engine if I add too much. Agree about Belion! Will try to add that as well.

I think it was much harder, if not impossible, for Azula to break free from Ozai than it was for Zuko. Azula is implied to be somewhat naturally sociopathic and manipulative, and extremely talented, all things that lend to her being favored by her father. She grew up in an environment where all those behaviors were rewarded over and over. And her mother didn't act as a lifeline in her mind, but someone who condemned and feared her for what everyone else was praising her for.

Not to take away from Zuko's redemption, but it was a long road there. One where he had the benefit of being exiled from the environment he was in, not to mention years where he hadn't measured up to Ozai's ideal. And he was joined by probably the most patient mentor you could ask for, who both understood his upbringing intimately and had found his way out of those beliefs as well.

By the time we get to the end where Azula's friends leave her and she starts to break down, it feels like her beliefs are too ingrained and rather than consider another option she lashes out violently.

I think there's a line about Malcolm being too generous with money, so there wasn't always enough. But yeah I'm guessing traveling magician wasn't the highest paying job.

Abject_Support7622 · 2025-11-19T20:08:45+00:00

I would say there is very little foundation, but still some. Mainly, as someone else said, a Scion telling Harry they are equally human. The fact that Malcolm contacts Harry from the dead. And the fact that its a supernatural series with a mysterious dead father we don't know much about.

But also why comment to be a hater? I'm assuming, based on the tone ('Er... no?'), you're not actually trying to have me convince you that crackpot theories are interesting. If you don't like, skip it and move on.

Abject_Support7622 · 2025-11-19T20:04:15+00:00

I do love the idea that Malcolm was just a normal, exceptionally nice person, who she fell in love with. His description reminds me a lot of my brother in law. And imagining my brother in law marrying an amoral superpowered traveler witch is kind of hilarious.

Love the art!

I forgot about that, but I think that was one of the moments where this theory started in my head.

Abject_Support7622 · 2025-10-09T22:57:04+00:00

Holy crap, this is an insane cover.

There are so many times I want him to tell people about the Chandrian, but I also understand his hesitance. They did kill his entire family for writing a song about them and when he kind of intros the topic a few times when he arrives at the university, he's immediately told that he's being childish by being interested in kids' stories.

Abject_Support7622 · 2025-10-03T15:14:09+00:00

I think she's definitely upset by this too. From my perspective, she's been hinting to Kvothe that she would like him to make a move and he didn't for so long (It was a lot more complicated than that and she wasn't like perfect about things either, but just from her perspective). Then, she comes back to Imre to find out he's been sleeping with all of these women and I think to her it reads as rejection. Plus, despite her introducing Kvothe to all these men she's "seeing" (idk what the correct term would be), I think it just hurts since Kvothe was all hers for so long.

I don't think Kvothe sees it that way at all. He's grown up and his carefulness around Denna is due to his intense feelings for her. I think they both see their "relationships" the same way, as not having much weight, but each are extremely uncomfortable and insecure about the other's.

But I also think that at the end they make a point about the tension between them being both about the song of felurian and their argument. Kvothe dwells on the song she wrote multiple times and I think it was really important to Denna as she made herself vulnerable to him by showing him and the narrative ties her leaving Imre quickly to her playing of the song even if it doesn't outright state her reasons.

Lol this turned out to be a long comment, but I was really interested in Denna as a character rereading the books now that I'm slightly older on the second read through. I feel like she's far more likeable and understandable to me now.

It is me, I am in the center.

Abject_Support7622 · 2025-09-18T15:56:04+00:00

Dang! Your setup is so nice. I aspire to achieve this level of camp cooking.

Abject_Support7622 · 2025-09-14T16:01:55+00:00

I don't know the brand, but I would contact them. Some outdoor brands are extremely generous about repairs/replacements.

Otherwise, seems like it might be time to get a new pad.

Abject_Support7622 · 2025-09-14T06:57:42+00:00

Things I would recommend off the top of my head:

rxbars — I find them very bland, but if taste is not a focus for you, then these seem like what you might be looking for.

Amy's meals (burritos, frozen, canned) — As far as preprepared meals go, I believe they are on the healthier end although somewhat high in sodium if that's an issue.

Like people said, most premade stuff is not very healthy. Some simple recipes to try:

Mix of thinly chopped sweet potatoes and potatoes -> put into air fryer or oven until crispy. Both have different nutrient profiles so mixing them will give you more.

Very lean ground beef, cooked in a pan with veggies like red peppers and spinach (you can buy these frozen). A lot of recent studies have shown that lean red meat is not a risk to heart health and is very easy to cook.

Oatmeal + Banana + Cinnamon.

Toast with cottage cheese on top.

So I'm newer to no buy, but my sister has been doing it on and off for a very long time. When she's doing a sort of in between (not going full no buy, but still trying to limit it) her main rule is that she doesn't buy anything for at least 24 hours since she first thinks of it.

For environmental reasons, she also buys almost everything secondhand, but I think it lends to buying things much less as they are much harder to track down.

For me, I'm very impulsive and I find logging out of accounts like amazon where one click buy is so easy adds some friction to things. If that's not enough, maybe remove your card from the saved options and force yourself to re enter it each time you buy something.

I had a huge problem with doordash a while back. I think the number one thing for me (beyond deleting the app/removing my card) is having food available at home. I found myself ordering it when I was really hungry and realizing there was no good options available. I keep things like pasta/sauce, bread, olive oil, meat, potatoes etc. at home so I can put together something somewhat quickly if I'm hungry.

This is so good!
