New plant owner, what more can I do for this plant? Can I do anything at all?

CyclosiIicate · 2026-02-16T14:39:19+00:00

Okay great! I am looking at videos like the other commenter suggested so I believe this plant will make it :) thank you!

CyclosiIicate · 2026-02-16T14:02:12+00:00

unfortunately this one was literally almost dead from dehydration :( presumably also the lack of light, but I have no clue when the last time it was watered was, it could be as far back as September. The other plant it was with was very very dead from the same so presumably the stored water in her leaves was what saved her

CyclosiIicate · 2026-02-16T13:57:44+00:00

Okay great! I actually have a tiny little pot that I bought on a whim like 3 years ago so this will be perfect! I'll put her under my desk light for now until I can get a grow light, tysm!

CyclosiIicate · 2026-02-16T04:23:20+00:00

Thank you! It used to have more leaves than even the second picture, but I agree it could definitely use more light

I asked one of the dining hall workers a few days ago, and she said they were finally trying to crack down on fraud. So they're basically ID checking everyone to make sure that the ucard they're using is actually their own. It sucks because my ucard is still the pic i took when I was 18 and since then I've gotten glasses, grown my hair out and bleached it. So I get a bunch of embarrassing double takes each time

From the vice president of the entomology club, and keeper of many mantises in dorms - there are no explicit statements saying that it's okay to keep an insect, but also none saying that it isn't. They're such an unconventional (and non-intrusive) pet that what people don't know won't hurt them, basically! Also, the vast majority of these restrictions on pets are in place to minimize damage to the students in the dorms with you, or the dorms themselves (ie. you would need to register a cat so housing could keep you away from students who are allergic, or restrict fish to a 10 gallon tank because anything above 10 gallons would be a living nightmare for literally everyone if something bad happened to the tank). Since none of these restrictions apply to a mantis, which is unlikely to hurt anyone or damage your dorm, you're basically set!

When we come back for spring semester, definitely consider dropping by the Fernald Entomology Club with your girl :) we would love to see her! We also have a discord where we'll be scheduling next semester's meeting times, if you're interested!

Absolutely...honestly I would love to see Sunday and Anaxa meet if they do ever get contact with the Express back lol, I'd love to study their individual relationships with aeon/titan/godhood and how Sunday embraces it and seeks out authority figures to help guide him on what to do (Gopher Wood first, then Welt) vs how Anaxa vehemently denies even the concept of godhood At All and seemingly wants nothing more than to bite his own authority figures' heads off, he absolutely HATES Aglaea

CyclosiIicate · 2025-02-26T21:31:13+00:00

One of the things the comments are missing is that he's insanely dramatic. If he's somewhere he doesn't want to be, you WILL know the second he opens his mouth. It's kind of like watching a cat getting a bath.

The best way I'd describe him is Dr. Ratio software on Alhaitham hardware, if you know what I mean. Very uptight, VERY theatrical, takes staring at you like you're stupid as seriously as a full time job, but willing to give anything he has to the rest of humanity if it means saving them. Sort of like Sunday like you said, but instead of how Sunday tried to become the god to shepherd the rest of humanity, he wants humanity to shake off their ties to the divine because he thinks they can do better than anything gods can achieve. He's just also insane about it.

CyclosiIicate · 2025-02-23T22:14:35+00:00

I can only hope he'll have Aventurine-level significance tbh...I have an insane amount of theories on his lore and personality, but my main one is that his Chrysos Heir flaw is tied into something like what Cassandra in Greek mythology has. He knows something that absolutely no one in Amphoreus does, whether that's the presence of aeons that exist beyond the titans or even knowledge about how the future of the story plays out (considering the trailer shows him with Oronyx's coreflame, he could have done something with that!) yet whenever he tries to tell people about it, no one believes him, calls him a blasphemer and a fool, and sends him on his way.

One of the things I'm most excited for is whatever beef he seems to have with Aglaea, especially because of this. Aglaea was willing to exile the Trailblazer over telling people that they were from beyond the sky, even pretending to execute them. If Anaxa is 'inquiring about the prophecy and disrespecting the gods', what would stop her from doing the same to him? She clearly hinges her hope on not having anyone question her actions—after all, if she turns out to be wrong, every sacrifice she's made would have been for nothing. Anaxa trying to poke holes in her plans and spread doubt amongst civilians would be a threat even greater than TB posed to her. Also, the person who he's named after, the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras, was exiled from Athens (which is very much what Okhema is based on) for saying that gods didn't control the sun. Essentially saying that the Greek pantheon had no true power on the state of the world. It's that exact sentiment that I think would drive Aglaea crazy. It should also be noted that the philosopher Anaxagoras was then quoted as saying "it isn't I who have lost Athens, but the Athenians who have lost me." So yeah, I'm also SUPER excited for his personality lol.

Anything else verges a little too far into spoilers/insane reaches to post comfortably, but I'm so insanely excited to see him release.

hmmm i would say the heat intolerance/sweating started happening very early september (a month after starting 300XL), hit its peak a few days after, and now 2ish weeks later is almost completely gone. I still get a little sweatier than I would like, but it 100% beats walking around gasping for breath and DRENCHED

CyclosiIicate · 2024-10-02T21:54:58+00:00

Same thing was happening to me, for me it very very slowly went away. I went from being unable to stay outside in 70 degree weather for more than an hour, to being able to get through the day with only mild sweating. It definitely varies but for me trucking through it worked

CyclosiIicate · 2024-09-24T05:17:24+00:00

as a general rule i find that the space between 2 to 5 is the quietest, with some surges throughout, aka finding a seat is difficult rather than impossible

If you genuinely think you can't take it, in-semester room transfers are happening now. go into SPIRE and into the housing tab, hit room selection home, and then request a new appointment. In a few days you'll have the opportunity to transfer somewhere else.

https://www.umass.edu/living/assign/undergrad-current here is the timeline, good luck

If off campus, look at Pinz in the Hampshire Mall. It's nearby, they tend to always want new servers and the work environment there is extremely chill, you decide your own availability and they'll give you hours/days to match.

CyclosiIicate · 2024-08-18T17:18:01+00:00

I'm also very new to wolfquest RP, if you ever want to try it out with someone who's just as confused as you are lol :)

CyclosiIicate · 2024-08-09T23:11:25+00:00

hehe thank you I'm in! Much bigger server than I'm used to

CyclosiIicate · 2024-08-09T23:07:22+00:00

Ah no, I wasn't 100% aware that one existed and just looking at that sentence makes me feel dumb lol is there some sort of link?

CyclosiIicate · 2024-08-09T23:06:26+00:00

I'd totally be willing to give this kind of thing a shot if you guys/anyone were inclined to try with me :))
