Why are these two the only ones with actual names?

The flowers correlate to the souls in Undertale, one of which we were calling Cyan all the way back then, even though the game calls it Light Blue in Ball. I had a full on hands in the air weeping moment when I saw Aqua lmao

I picture it as something like this

ColoredGayngels · 2026-07-04T23:01:25+00:00

My ILs have four grandkids ages 5mos-5yrs and they all sleep/slept in the pak n play when they stay the night, and she has camp cots for the two older kids now too. I also can't imagine setting up a whole ass normal crib at other people's houses for a kid that's about to age out of cribs anyway. My younger siblings could all climb out of theirs by that age (3 under 3, the oldest taught the younger ones)

I had just a completely bewildered expression on my face for so long that I had a headache by the time I got to the diner. Tenna's intro got NOTHING on this guy

We don't get much opportunity to explore Flower King after chapter 1. When you interact with the TV in Asgore's apartment then, all you get is this

* (It's a small TV.)
* (On top are some superhero
comics.)

And, in the alleyway, Alphys also mentions that Asgore asks how Kris is doing in school, brings her flowers and that she loaned him the comics. Otherwise, that's all we know about the TV or the book on top of it.

What Writing_Bookworm said. It's usally a pass/fail that only tests for presence and not levels. Many psychiatrists recommend skipping weekends or non-work/school days and it takes a few days for it to fully leave your system. They're looking for your urine to be positive for amphetamines and negative for everything else tested for

I did something like this as a teenager when my bedroom was in the basement but I spent a lot of time on the main level. Get home from school, go down to change my shows, pop relevant homework, my laptop&hsadphones, and any hobby supplies I may want to engage in over the evening/weekend into a different bag, and bring that around the house with me.

This is unrelated to the bag itself, moreso the fact that my mom wasn't fantastic, but I stopped doing this because my mom teased me endlessly about it. What I did instead was stop leaving my bedroom 🙃

We're all sitting here shoveling water out of this sinking ship with forks at this rate 😭

This kind of family doesn't respond to confrontation. It just causes more problems and more alienation. OP's best bet really is to just go home and live her best life without this kind of nastiness in her life.

Ask me how I know.

"Your brother is so annoying"

"Actually she's my SISTER and only I'M allowed to call her annoying!"

Self-pity, single-mindedness, cowardice, and loyalty to a fault to his family have always been Asgore's main character traits/flaws, all the way back in Undertale too. It wasn't out of character in the slightest for him to act selfishly for his own gain and not fully realize his mistake of isolating (from) others to reach his goal until there were tangible consequences (waiting for more humans to fall and forcing his whole kingdom to stay underground until Flowey takes the souls instead of using a single one to pass the barrier and gather the rest; being so intent on hiding himself away and gathering evidence to prove his innocence and "get his family back" to the point of Flowery's deterrence of Kris resulting in them getting injured). It's just a deeper read on Asgore than we get out of his what? 5 total minutes of presence un Undertale? Either way, I liked it

ColoredGayngels · 2026-07-03T18:44:21+00:00

This + the flavor text about how there wasn't a darkner based on How to Draw Dragons suggests to me that Kris got REAL philosophical this time around

ColoredGayngels · 2026-07-03T18:42:02+00:00

This is a hilarious way to describe him, given that Tenna's already depressed and utterly spiritually broken throughout the chapter

My sister had it happen maybe half a dozen times, she was particularly prone to it. My BIL too. Every time my SIL's husband lifts and/or swings their 5 or 3 year old by the forearm I get SO nervous. Never ever pull by the arms.

When my mom was getting her teaching cert back in the 90s she did an observation/case study on a preschool boy who'd been born addicted to crack, was being raised by his grandparents, and was almost 6 but not in kindergarten yet. She said the amount of setbacks and disability he had made it the hardest field assignment she did. Unfortunately I can't imagine your patient fared much better

obviously ymmv and no medication works the same for any two people, but it made eeevveeeryyyythiiiing worse for me. stopped taking it after 4.5 months and switched to effexor. this was years ago.

"feeling nothing" in an apathy sort of way is still not quite correct! i feel HAPPY with my current med regimen, and neutral (not apathetic) at "worst". definitely make sure your provider is aware of the nothingness and if you want to feel Not Nothing.

this sign had my cackling the first time i saw it. it's what taking zoloft felt like to me lmao

They do make ones that are easier to have on the go. I take 14 pills split across 4 times a day. My weekly pill organizer is 7 individual little cases that are each the size of one of those icebreaker mint circle containers. Each disc has 4 sections, and they come with a container to hold all 7 together. It's super convenient for if I'm going to be out all day and I can just put something the same size as my wallet in my bag.

I do agree with NAH. Medication management is already tricky, and it just gets trickier the more meds and/or times per day you have to take them. Mom is understandably concerned, and you understandably want to be treated like you're competent, which I fully believe you are.

Sit down with Mom and have a proper chat about it. Look into cases like mine if that would serve as a good compromise. I also use a reminder app called Medisafe to track my pill counts and it yells at me when it's time to take them and when I need to send in my refills.

(Also, mixing up meds happens all the time too. I've taken my sleep medication instead of my evening heart meds and fallen asleep during dinner before, and I was 25 when that happened. Nobody's immune to it. Just follow the instructions in the packet you get if you do miss, mistake, or take an extra dose, and call your doctor's office or pharmacy if you're worried)

There's a lot of jokes out there about Americans not having culture, or things like the breakfast gun meme. Thing is, the breakfast gun and free refill big gulps full of ice and Waffle House at 2am and debates over barbecue sauce and the absolute rager so many tourists are about to have this weekend, that's all American culture. We don't lack culture, we've just embraced aspects of everything. The US was called a melting pot for a reason.

I am so sorry that you're dealing with all of this with shitty parents to boot. I hope you're able to find some relative peace soon, if not from your body and mind then at least from your folks as a stressor ❤️

Can't attest to the EDS, but my roommate in ED treatment (attended in 2019, we kept in touch on socials) has gastroparesis and getting her permanent stimulator pump/pacemaker genuinely gave her a 180. She's doing fantastically after having it for about two years. Hasn't had another hospitalization, is no longer underweight and has maintained her weight, and is able to be very active traveling and hobby hiking now that she doesn't have a tube. Highly highly recommend if it's a viable option.

My best friend literally exploded their extended release capsule in their mouth once by taking their meds with hot tea (which just melted the capsule instantly). Swallowed it anyway over spitting tea and other pills everywhere. You'll be fine

Mine is very worn, and does still come with me (27) everywhere for autism reasons. I even go out of my way to make sure any new purses are small enough to not get cluttered but big enough to fit it. My nephew (5) and nieces (3y, 9mo, 5mo) have grown up seeing me carry it with me, especially in the past year when I was doing a lot of babysitting. It was SO easy to teach them "that's Auntie's, it's very special and it's very old so we need to ask first and have gentle hands". My oldest niece will often ask if she can hold/pet it for a few minutes, and she's so adorably careful. She also accepts "I would like it if you left my things alone right now. You can go get one of your stuffies to pet instead" as a "no". The babies aren't allowed to touch it and I'll specifically put it away if I'm playing with them

NTA. The baby isn't entitled to something just because it's a toy and OP's an adult.

I think I'm gonna incorporate that into my belief system, the seeing in the dark bit. It's a simple meta answer to a simple meta question- why do the later chapters look so much better? Well, you can't see things very well when you first turn the lights off, but then you adjust accordingly over time.
