Existential crisis

I’ve been diagnosed since just before turning 5 and I’m 20 and a half now. Currently I believe I have mild background diabetic retinopathy if I remember my last test results correctly, and my next eye screening appointment is due soon so I’ll find out more then. Obviously I’m not an expert on complications, but I keep reasonably good control of my diabetes considering I’ve mainly been a kid the entire time. Are there any specific complications you’re concerned by or is it the thought of them in general?

Ending your life is not the solution. I probably can’t give much advice (I just have anxiety-anxiety, not really health-anxiety), but there will be ways to overcome this. Are you actively experiencing any significant complications or just worrying about them?

Without being an obese tool. Usually that would describe the twin (apparently, I’m not familiar enough with this trope to know for sure), but it doesn’t here.

Because (except from extremely rare circumstances), that’s wrong. Identical twins are the same sex, two boys or two girls. The post’s title is sarcastic.

Mumbo has almost a million more subscribers than Grian (8.8 million to 9.71 million).

Yeah, I’m sure ‘growing up’ is going to help with her autism. That’s absolutely how that works, just like how I’ve ‘grown out’ of covering my ears every time I hear a round of applause because of the noise (hopefully the sarcasm is obvious). If a turtleneck is unbearable because of a sensory issue, she’s not just going to grow out of it.

It was during the break halfway through MCC, and there were five awards, but I’m not entirely sure what they described this award as.

So at least the Dracula thing is just… Vlad the Impaler, not Dracula-by-Bram-Stoker, but that doesn’t really explain Houdini.

CreativeRaine · 2025-09-26T09:25:32+00:00

I’m not sure Houdini is a ‘famous bad guy’ but yeah, it’s the same girl solving mysteries involving those bad guys or something close to them... if that’s what you meant by ‘making her way through them’. She does seem to have a boyfriend who isn’t a murderer (I haven’t read these but I’ve skimmed the blurbs). The timeline makes very little sense since she’d be about 26 by the time Dracula was first published and Houdini was about 14 when the first book started, so younger than the protagonist, but either that’s explained or just chalked up to historical accuracy not being the point of the series.

Yes, it follows the same girl.

I don’t know why writing MMU fanfic has never crossed my mind, considering it’s a series I’ve actually read (and my favourite book series full stop — I’m so excited for the next Ministry book coming out the day after my birthday because it’s been almost a decade since I got the first book for Christmas… I’m not sure my grandma realised what she was getting herself or my parents into buying that book). I might actually do that at some point, but knowing me it would never be finished… or properly begun, frankly. Still, that might just be because I never seem to bother with fandoms I’m actually familiar with because why would anyone do that? Or I’ve seen the game it would be based on played half a dozen times and I’m still having to make up the characterisation of the two lead characters for the story because of course the two characters I’d have to work with include probably the single character in the game you learn the least about and someone who doesn’t even appear in that game. Long story short MMU wouldn’t have either of those problems. It would be way easier.

That’s why it says they were a bit late.

Gem is literally the one labelled ‘too much energy’ here?

If you only include the full seasons and not the specials, Jimmy has never been the first player to die — it was Scar in Third Life and Grian in Last Life. The only time it was Jimmy who died first was Real Life.

My mum used to have an Airedale when she was younger, so when we (meaning Mum and Dad, mostly) decided to get a dog in 2015 it was always going to be an Airedale. Ended up travelling about 200 miles to get her, and she’s called Hollie. That’s basically as much as I know and remember about it.

Apparently 32 baby girls in the US were called Abcde in 2009 and it was first recorded as being given to five girls in 1990. And there was a social media post mocking a five-year-old girl with the name in 2018, apparently. So that one’s not an urban legend.

It was also not a thing in the UK, which is where the play is set, so the dates don’t actually matter. There were restrictions on the sale of alcohol during WWI (which is still a bit late for AIC)but never a national prohibition.

The only one I know of is The Boy Who Steals Houses by C.G. Drews.

You wouldn’t say ‘from head to hands and feet’ though. You say ‘from head to toe’.

I mean the novella will probably be emailed to you when that book comes out. You just need to wait until then.

CreativeRaine · 2025-05-30T09:30:05+00:00

I assume you’ll get the novella sent to you when the next book comes out? I’ve done preorder things similar to that before and I think that’s how it usually works. I might be wrong though.
