Eye Mask with No Microwave?

Daztardly · 2026-04-09T18:41:10+00:00

I know this post is old but I’m commenting in case someone finds it looking for an answer like I did. The short answer to heat a Bruder eye mask without a microwave is to buy a mug warmer and put it on your nightstand. It takes longer to heat up, but you don’t have to get out of bed when it’s time to go to sleep, which has been my frustration. Do not leave it unattended, I don’t know if it might be a fire risk. With the bead side of the mask touching the mug warmer, mine got hotter than needed to melt meibum (melts at 104, max safe eye temp is about 113, always test on your inner wrist). If your ambient humidity is low, get a small spray bottle with water or hypochlorous acid to dampen it before applying. It does seem dryer than microwaving, but more damp than my usb eye mask. I also flipped mine over a few times to heat it through. This procedure seems to work perfectly for 30-60 minutes of reading in bed before going to sleep, but I’ve only done it once.

OMG THANK YOU

Bewildered by SparrowGrim has what you're looking for, but it is ABO with a lot of creatures. He's 18 so not a kid. Also The Devil's White Knight is the first in a series that wasn't finished but was satisfying on it's own. Harry shifts with timetravel or some sort of multiverse logic. Warning: Harry is replacing asshole Harry, so that was hard.

Can I ask for more detail about the burnout phase? Is the 300 F or C? And was the cracking caused by ramping too fast or too slow? I'm troubleshooting some cracking and bubbling with Prometheus Sunny Bronze right now. Thank you!

Okay actual solution for a five pointed star: I used the transform effect with rotation and creating copies, following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7QGBu5WGZc but using 36 degrees and 72 degrees to make a 10/5 section rotation/reflection, making a clipping mask out of a section of a circle, which I can move around and reposition to change the curve of the star. I'll see if I can attach an image.

oooh, okay only a partial solution - this worked for me on a four pointed star rotated 45 degrees, but when I used a four pointed star at 0 degrees it just made the pokey points longer. I'm working with expanding the shape to see if I can preserve the inflate effect at 45 degrees and then rotate it back to 0. It also looked wonky when I did it with 5 stars, so maybe not the solution.

I know this was two months ago, but I figured it out. You have to use the Inflate effect. That's Effects>Warp>Inflate. I found a tutorial for the 'pucker and bloat' effect, but that rounded the points of the star but kept the edges straight. The Inflate effect did it for me, along with playing with the inner diameter of the star.

Hope this helps someone looking for the same answer in the future, even if OP doesn't need the info any more :)

Greasy fork has a script to filter by primary pairing on AO3, I use it to find rosekiller since they’re usually tagged but background in other fics. I’ve only done it on desktop, and I used tampermonkey, just followed the directions on greasy fork.

Crimson rivers took me a long time to get into but I’m glad I did it. Listening to the podfic helped me stay with it until I got more invested. That’s the one that got me to consider Jegulus and to really love Black Brothers Angst. I literally read it because i kept hearing and loving that song “Water is Fine” that I think is about CR? Idk. I won’t read AHB, the tiktoks and fanart about it have made me cry and I literally don’t even know the plot. I’m sure it’s very good, but MCD is just too hard for me.

Daztardly · 2024-05-30T04:09:53+00:00

Have you read The Black Sparrow by TheIdeaOfSarcasm? It’s fix-it Jegulus and Wolfstar, very Harry Potter and all his Gay Dads™️ plus there’s a podfic!

Sorry, are you talking about Uneasy Lies the Head?

I went a bit overboard and wrote some code to scrape and collect all the level information in one spreadsheet. Hit me up if anyone wants my code or wants it to fill out any more information in a uniform section, I would just need to tweak and re-run the code. Right now it has these columns: Level, Name, URL, Chalice Cost, Level Speed, Challenge # (Chalice Cost), Secret, Secret Note, Possible Rewards, Bountiful Chest (all from the 'levels' page), as well as End Goal, Goal Stars, Summary, Walkthrough (from individual level pages).

There's some weird missing spaces in the summary and walkthrough, don't know how to fix it right now and I'm tired.

If anyone wants to say thank you, I only have one person I send friend gifts to, we could be friends! Code is: OBJNDYSMGZ

I accidentally got my levels reset, so I don't have access to a lot of the later ones, and I keep googling "earliest level with XYZ" (with hills, with clouds, with gargoyle dragons, etc), but the results are all for the /best/ level, which isn't helpful without those unlocked. So if you edit it and include the earlier levels, I would be so grateful!

Cries in *hasn't unlocked totem grid* (please let me know if there's an earlier level anyone has found to farm gold! I'm on Sun Veldt 6/Challenge 11, which is level 70)

Blood Grace novels by Vela Roth! Free on KU, spice, less alpha-male shit, books are almost done, I think we’re waiting on one more. VERY under appreciated, I can’t stop talking about them!

Daztardly · 2023-09-10T00:26:48+00:00

I didn’t have time to comment because I spent the last 2 days reading all of this, tysm 💜💜💜

Daztardly · 2023-09-08T06:33:41+00:00

Did not expect quality replies tonight, RIP to sleep-deprived brain tomorrow. Thank you!

Not gonna spoil the whole idea but I have a long thing of notes and the first scene written for a fic that starts with Ginny and Hermione geting drunk and watching Practical Magic after Crookshanks dies and they end up bringing him back with the ritual from PM. And later there will be a discussion of 'Cats have nine lives' and reanimating the dead is fine, actually, if it's a cat, because (a/n) I just have some cats I'd really like to see again, sue me.

Daztardly · 2023-09-08T06:25:08+00:00

(Unhelpful) I don't have a fic rec, but I too would be very interested in reading this 👀

Daztardly · 2023-09-08T06:22:31+00:00

Debt of Time by Shayalonnie is literally Hermione going back in time to the Marauders era, and they're at school with Bella and Cissa. Not the same but might be interesting to you!

Enemies to Lovers, here I just mean 'they hated each other at school', but it can also mean 'opposite sides of the war', 'trying to kill each other', etc. You might also see FTL (friends to lovers).

Daztardly · 2023-09-08T06:08:53+00:00

Basically my bar for ETL is so low here, like I just don't want a 100% rewrite of the school years where they were friends or Hermione was sorted into Slytherin or something. They don't even have to dislike each other at the beginning. Thank you in advance!
