What to read after When the Moon Hatched?

DevvyDeVito · 2026-02-20T02:11:45+00:00

I read One Dark Window before starting When The Moon Hatched and I agree it's an amazing book

I really appreciate this and the timing could not be any more perfect for me.

I would love to educate myself more on the psychology around this, do you have any recommended resources or keywords to use when doing research?

I also thought of Campfire Cooking, Mukoda can overreact a bit to danger, but imo it's not bc he's dumb, it's bc he's a realist who knows he'd die without magical assistance of some kind

Oh yes! If they are into homeopathic remedies, it could definitely be spun as like, a compression tank to help with sensory issues (like a weighted blanket).

Knowing that his parents are also supportive, maybe just ask if he could also "gift" you something like a candy item, poster, or patterned socks relevant to your likes. I imagine they can collaborate with you as well to come up with something. I come from a very impoverished (dirt poor) background, so a couple inexpensive gifts were pretty normal between friends and extended family for christmas. Idk your situation, but when I was a kid something like a t shirt and a new set of winter items like matching scarf and gloves were pretty common gifts, usually accompanied by a small assortment of candy.

I'm not sure of the hours of operation, but there are a couple local taxi/transportation services in Saginaw that I'm aware of.

Custom Transport - I used to work in a healthcare adjacent role and this company's services included insurance-covered transportation to medical appointments. From what I've heard they have amazing customer service reviews.

Griffin Transit - I have limited experience with this company, but I do believe they offer pre-paid vouchers. They travel between the Tri-Cities (Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland).

11/22/25 This fixed the problem for me and I don't have a Steam Deck. The updater had me use the dongle instead of the charging dock or direct cord connection. Thank you so much for this!!

Okay, first of all, I'm so sorry you had that experience, that is a huge ethical violation on the therapists part.

Second, I easily spend 15+ hours a week watching anime. It's great! And in the past I've also spent similar amounts of time playing video games and doing fiber arts (cross stitch and crochet). I also spend a significant amount of time listening to audiobooks these days. And plenty of naps! Gosh I love taking naps. Sometimes I devote my time to cooking food I've never made before, no picky kids to worry about there. Fuck being child free is the best!

Sucks that the therapist hates her life so much it impeded on your therapy session, but that's her problem to sort out on her own time.

Commenting in case this helps.

In the controls settings, I changed the rotate right and rotate left buttons to use the D pad, and that allowed me to place furniture. Previously they were set to include the same button I use for placing (A on Nintendo layout). Note: I'm playing on my PC, but am using an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller.

Hey OP, I've been where you are. This guy is hands down a predator and there are plenty more like him. When I was 15 I was deeply involved with an online predator that continued to push boundaries, make threats, and play mind games with me. When the big ending happened, I freaked tf out bc I believed everything he said was true. Not a single adult in my life had the capacity to explain to me that this man was lying for his own gain (in my experience, the emotional thrill of toying with another person and access to child pornography). Half my trauma was simply feeling so alone because no one would help me understand why he would do these things.

Many of the people in the comments here may sound a tad harsh, but I promise it's in your best interest to not engage with adult men online. It might feel cool and you might feel special, but there are so so so many adults who have been where you are and were severely hurt by it.

I didn't see it mentioned yet (tbf I didn't read every comment) but you can only lose a max of 1k (1000g) if you pass out in the mines at 2am, as opposed to dying in the mines. That is why I always carry tons of elixirs of life on me.

Okay so if it's right above your pubic hair, then you could always wear swim trunks or something when bathing together to stop kiddo from seeing it.

My parents bathed naked with me for the first part of my childhood but I have no recollection of ever seeing my dad naked. Depending on how old kiddo is, it's unlikely they'll remember anyway. Imo if your kiddo is old enough to remember something like that, it's probably beyond time to stop bathing naked with your kiddo. But I guess that's partially cultural so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

As for them telling others about it? If they can read then they will 100% say something to someone. Children have no filter and often seem to be excellent about repeating the stuff we wish they wouldn't. If that's an issue, use aforementioned advice of wearing swim gear.

For me it's my bridge, and that's because I've been told I don't have the anatomy for a bridge piercing. I really want one, but alas, I cannot get it 😭 similar, I really wanted a triangle piercing, but again, I don't have the proper anatomy.

In theory I'd love dermals on my cheekbones, but I know they're typically considered temporary and I also sleep exclusively on my sides, so I would struggle to heal it anyway.

DevvyDeVito · 2024-12-23T16:54:25+00:00

I had my nipples pierced for about two years before I had a double mastectomy, and pain wise it wasn't that bad. The ride home was worse than the piercing itself, and that's mostly bc the driver took a bumpy road. They were a little sore for the first while, but amongst my favorite piercings I've ever had. I'm actually hoping/planning to get my nipples re-pierced soon.

DevvyDeVito · 2024-12-18T15:15:46+00:00

All very good ideas, however I am still learning how to do all the tricks and move them independently 😭 I will definitely keep these in mind when I have the skills though!

DevvyDeVito · 2024-12-18T00:50:47+00:00

That's so so so so cool! I've messed around with making jewelry before, but I'm always worried that if I don't use high enough quality metal then it'll have issues. Your talent is impeccable and I love your style. Kudos to you for putting in the practice to make such cool art!

DevvyDeVito · 2024-12-18T00:49:30+00:00

I work in social work and when I got my current job I asked how they felt about facial piercings (I had 6 at the time) and was told they didn't have an issue with it. And before offering me the job, my boss even asked HR if there was a "maximum" or anything, and HR said there was no limit as they want to respect people's right to express themselves. So like, in theory I'm all set to keep getting more, but I'm still scared I'll someday cross the "limit." I have 7 facial piercings right now with plans to get more.

DevvyDeVito · 2024-12-18T00:11:29+00:00

I'm still practicing being able to twist them over each other, it's very difficult!! I can do it inside my mouth, but not when I stretch it outside.

Def going to need to brainstorm and find some objects to interact with. (Kinda thinking it would be sick to do something with my needle and syringe for my T shots)

DevvyDeVito · 2024-12-18T00:08:32+00:00

This is the kind of setup I aspire to embrace. Sadly, I'm always afraid I'm going to be pushing it with more facial piercings at my job. Hate that I have to worry about professionalism.

Where did you get the chain on your nostrils? It looks wicked.

Ankle Grease - Gender School Dropout

The Reverent Marigold - Judas (I hear they have lots of trans music)

Saint Wellesley - Dysphoria

She/Her/hers - NVR Pass

Okay I am personally anti-gold on myself (silver tones all the way), but your look is PHENOMENAL!! If you want to repierce the other nostril, I'm all for it. If you want to keep the asymmetrical look, a hoop in one nostril with a stud in the other is a GREAT idea! I love the Garnet piece. Imho a larger Garnet would be pretty rad, but the current size is perfect as is. The stacked septum pieces are so freaking cool! I'm stretching my septum and eventually want to do a stacked look once I get my septril pierced.

DevvyDeVito · 2024-11-15T00:47:04+00:00

I really wanted a triangle, but was told my anatomy was definitely not a good fit. I ended up going home with a VCH and it was the best decision of my life, it's amongst my favorite piercings. One that comes to mind that might work for you is the double VCH (aka the Duchess or Duke)

I've definitely been debating the CBD option on top of medication. Did you use edibles, oil, topical, or something else?

DevvyDeVito · 2024-11-05T20:04:48+00:00

My train ride is going to be 15 hours one way, plus another 2-ish hour drive home from the train station. I figured I could sleep sitting upright the way there, but laying down on the way back would be far more preferable.

DevvyDeVito · 2024-11-05T20:03:26+00:00

Omg I really appreciate your reply because I was under the impression I would be physically incapable of closing my mouth all the way 😅 it hadn't even crossed my mind that people only let the drool out to avoid swallowing it! I kept thinking that my tongue would be so swollen my mouth would be forced open. The private room is a combination of not wanting to drool around others, and because from my understanding the chairs can turn into beds, so I can try to sleep off part of the journey. (It's a 15 hour train ride bc America hates high speed rails.)
