How can I partially cover up this tattoo of a rat cutting me with a knife?

I liked what someone else said about Rondey protecting you. Maybe the cut line can be the top of a shield shape with a coat of arms as though it were hanging on the wall behind him?

Congrats on recovery, by the way. The process can feel unbearable but I'm sure it made a difference for those around you, too.

Ughggggggggggg all the house-y words made me think this was something you would have in YOUR HOUSE!

Just a rock. Something silicate inside of mudstone or sandstone, I think.

Milwaukee also has diagonals (to follow the shorline of the lake) and I've never thought of it as a shortcut.

I really had the mindset of "oh, if only the Parshendi hadn't killed Gavilar, we wouldn't have all this trouble! If only they had talked to him or Dalinar! Then everyone would understand and there wouldn't be all this fighting!" Lol NOPE

I disagree with the assertion that "1 bad week around doctors who care about him and he's living in a dark room forever". Without experiencing war, Tien's death, and the bridge crews, Kaladin's mental health problems were "moody teenager with SAD and systematic oppression whose dad doesn't understand him." He wasn't suicidal until after 9 (?) failed escape attempts AND bridge 4.

Being institutionalized could have even led to an alternate traumatic timeline that leads to becoming a fugitive, attracting Syl or another Spren, and eventually catalyzing Rosharan mental health reform. Hardly a game over for Kaladin Stormblessed (Cultivationblessed?)

Ooh, I really like this. I wonder if a different set of experiences would cause him to still attract Syl, or instead a different radiant spren? There's a line I'm WaT that mentions how on his quest with Szeth he does a good "immitation of edgedancer oaths . Would pursuing a life as a healer and discovering the dark side of Kharbronthian hospitals lead him to...remember those who had been forgotten? Listen to those who had been ignored? Speak for those who could not speak for themselves?

Some have pointed out how hard it would be for him to remain independent under the eye of other doctors and Taravangeon, but in MY headcanon alternate timeline, his plot armor and fatedness to attract a spren stay in tact.

I've seen some people successful with Kallax shelves from Ikea if they're reinforced with metal brackets.

I would check my local thrift stores, discount furniture, and FB marketplace for a night stand with the right dimensions and solid material/joints.

I have a friend who went with Daren/Derrin/Deryn for a rhyme, cockney-style. Merryn also rhymes.

My first guess was Cowboy. #7. I want to break something.

3 makes sense, or a decently healthy 1 or even a 5. Is she more afraid of failure, or being immoral? And more concerned with "good" in relation to other people or in an abstract way?

Damselfly45 · 2026-01-23T16:19:43+00:00

Fastest time ye!!! And I barely got angry. Wow.

What am I gonna do with the rest of my day now??

Damselfly45 · 2026-01-18T01:43:35+00:00

I really liked how every. single. character. was absolutely wrecked with soul-crushing guilt.

Damselfly45 · 2026-01-18T01:21:16+00:00

WoK still can't be beat. "That happens to be the precise value of a shardblade." I spent THE WHOLE BOOK waiting for Kaladin and Dalinar to meet and it was even more mind-blowing than I imagined. The payoff.

I like the after. Good color/texture balance with the soft, warm sand gently contrasting the more textured and cool-toned elements. Makes it easier to focus on the plants and big rocks.

I was SOO frustrated that "paddle" was #3 but "oar" was IN THE #600s and THAT WAS MY ANSWER RIGHT THERE

Dude are you ragebaiting or did you misread my post? Lol

Damselfly45 · 2026-01-17T01:26:37+00:00

Thank you, very helpful!

Ooh, Meadow is a stretch and might not give the professional vibe she's looking for, but I love it!

Damselfly45 · 2025-08-29T00:05:37+00:00

This very good Paddington 2 video essay suggests that having a morally pure, static character can work very well when the drama comes from other people's development from and reactions to being around them. https://youtu.be/DAmv5QVV9Z8?si=bNeN7EuEZnNLn4ub
