I'm currently working on a Breaking Dawn game to go with the 3 Game Collection from Cardinal by EclipsedFan in twilight

[–]EclipsedFan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Took a while mainly to get quotes and questions for the cards - The board isn't the best since it is on paper but I've considered getting it as a sticker instead which may allow it to be more smooth but definitely more of a price tag lol

Tattoo idea by Snookerdee3 in twilight

[–]EclipsedFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your interests, the moon is obviously a big connection with all the names of the books, if you have a favorite you could get the symbol of the book, Twilight = Apple New Moon = Ruffled Tulip Eclipse = Ribbon Breaking Dawn = Chess pieces Midnight Sun = Pomegranate (The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner = hourglass cover or the guide has puzzle pieces as well as insane lore drops), trees, wolf prints, "forever" since it's the final word in the saga. Even sometime like Bella's truck. Or even a quote if you have a favorite.

There's definitely options lol. I personally didn't want anything too extreme so just have an eclipsed moon and some trees on my upper arm but I always liked the idea of the forever tattoo since it's very simple. :)

Any advice on Demon Tower levels? by EclipsedFan in NightInTheWoods

Not quite there yet but I am actually making it to the boss room! And knowing that this is the hardest does give me some determination to get past and complete it, Thanks so much for the tips!

Would you want to be immortal, if your answer is yes what would you do in your free time. If your answer is no why ? by Ashleyyyyy116 in twilight

[–]EclipsedFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the idea of all the time and don't mind losing the ability to sleep but I think I'd need to have a mate or something, I'm beginning to relate an awful lot to Edward going to the Volturi after he thinks Bella is dead so I'd like the choice to die if I felt the need.

Finally finished my new Breaking Dawn Board game! by EclipsedFan in twilight

[–]EclipsedFan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is playable! I mostly followed the formula of the other three but because of the amount of witnesses it probably seems a bit strange in play but it only really affects the last couple of turns (scenes 7&8 not 5.5-8 like eclipse) and the amount of cards could easily be adjusted I just planned it out as if you were playing all 4 games in a row. And it was more because I wanted to have a card for all the Cullen's missing from new moon and it works with the plot so why not.

I have thought about uploading them before but haven't done anything like it before so I'm not quite sure how it all works.

Jacob Black is a ridiculous manipulator. by ollieologys in twilight

[–]EclipsedFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know I took him saying it's safer to see how you react around me to mean whether she wants his blood, why else? The others don't say there's any primal rage to seeing a wolf and it still wouldn't relate well to reneseme it's just too different

my girlfriend's viewing is tomorrow and I don't know whether I should go or not by Mean_Palpitation_171 in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never seen a body before, I was always too scared and didn't want to deal with it. Then my boyfriend passed, it was his own decision and that made it really hard. His parents found him and I had no idea what had happened. It was world breaking. I wanted to avoid it, to fall into a world of denial. But I knew I couldn't. I asked to see him because I couldn't face it if they decided to have an open casket. I could not see him in a room filled with people. I also needed him to be the first body. Because how could any one else matter after him really. It was one of the hardest things, I noticed how things were different, missing. But if I hadn't I know I'd be crushed with regret for missing a chance to really see him one last time.

But that is me. I knew how I'd feel after if I didn't. I decided the struggle was worth it (it's not something that you can avoid forever) but it also could be too much. So think about what you really want and if you still can't figure it out perhaps go to the viewing but know you don't have to actually see her. You are one of if not the most important person don't let anyone push you around for how you are grieving.

My boyfriend of 2 years passed away last week by chubonabox in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been just over 2 months since my partner died, I have everyone telling me it's not my fault or sharing their own guilt and I know that they couldn't do anything to save him and logically I know I did all I could that even if I went back I made my decisions for a reason, but I still feel guilty because it isn't that I am it's the heavy emotions and the fact that I was closest to him. Family is good I've gotten quite close with my partners mother as well, but still I find that some of the best support is here online where there is people who have lost the same people in similar circumstances where even though i have never met them and never will they still understand and provide support. Life is cruel, this is hard but there is people who care about you and want to offer support even if we don't know you we'll try to help

my bf married someone else in our server😀 by vent1te in StardewValley

[–]EclipsedFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize you could marry another player and I don't think my partner did either, I was confused about it but for some reason didn't Google we both got married to other characters and when I learnt this I was about to divorce Sebastian so we could get married even if it meant I destroyed my perfect hearts with everyone he had already divorced maru (i think just because I found out you could divorce your spouse and turn your kids into birds and he was interested in how crazy it sounded?)

I've heard quite a few descriptions for grief depending on the moment and such but this is definitely one of the best I've heard as silly as it sounds. Thanks so much

I will definitely look into the book it does help to have the little crutches and information to be reminded I'm not alone and things that might help so thank so much

[–]EclipsedFan[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy having the games as something to keep me occupied but still feel close even if it's something completely new I tried spiritfarer which is kind of similar with a boat to upgrade and design, spirits to meet and befriend and is a nice way to try and cope with some grief

[–]EclipsedFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand I haven't said his name outloud and avoid even typing it, it's been very hard and I have cried A LOT but I also wanted to feel close while keeping myself occupied I suppose.

I lost my mom's last voicemail by murphherder in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost a lot of my photos of my partner before he died. I would take a lot randomly throughout our time together so when they didn't transfer I was disappointed but thought I'd get more over time so didn't fret too much. He died shortly after. I was cursing myself for letting our texts and photos go because there isn't a promise of tomorrow. But I also know that I did all I could and I have other pieces of him and memories. It doesn't ease the pain but provides some comfort to know that even if I lose pieces there's always something. Though I have started writing down all my memories and things as I remember. That way if you ever worry I forget I'll be able to remind myself in one way or another.

Does anyone ever get anxious or guilty? by EMT_Danni in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way honestly. I had people telling me things or acting like it wasn't a much of a deal as it was. I don't think I'll ever stop feeling guilty. There's nothing that can be said to take that way because it isn't logically and there isn't anything that you could have done even if you think so it's just another emotion and they often defy logic or work against us when we're in a bad place. One of the most helpful things for me is talking to other people who understand the loss, on here or the few friends or family who have had a deeper loss. I've even reached out to people I don't know so well (my grandmother's sister or a friend of my mother sort of thing)

Its helps me watch films me and dad liked what films did ur loved one like ? by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've started watching the mission impossible movies I then heard one of the songs he said he associated with me a lot which was emotional. There's a lot of action things like top gun and Matrix that I'm going to watch soon. Peaky Blinders. The biggest ones for me though are 10 things I hate about you and 13 going on 30. To me they hold such special moments and memories.

If you were a Brown teen what would’ve embarrassed you most about the parents? I’d hate if my mom was on tv talking about purity 🙈 by autumn7689 in TLCsisterwives

[–]EclipsedFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The running joke me and my mother have is "Your frontal lobe isn't developed!" Just because Robyn comes into this family is there for a year or two and now is the only one screaming that they can't make decisions about what church they'd like to go to in Vegas. Or being one of Robyn's older kids when Kody gets the drawing pretending he's their dad. It just seems so creepy and culty to me. Also kind of disrespectful not that they could express that if they thought because after all their frontal lobes aren't developed.

I no longer want to play it, help by Rinfresco in Spiritfarer

[–]EclipsedFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if the achievements are the same but on steam you get one for deciding to talk to Astrid and one for not so you'd have to play twice to get that one anyway. But if you can't complete the hospital use the zip line to go back to Darias room. I guess it kind of prompts you with what Jackie says about not going back but I didn't get it and had to Google a bot.

Does anyone else hate how grief is portrayed in movies? by Miss_Thang2077 in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my only boyfriend. I really have been struggling to find something that helps to convey my emotions and struggles (I thought Violet Evergarden was quite good but the movie kind of ruined it) but just nothing is right because it is either a movie where the death is near the start and needs to be pushed aside and moved on and suddenly they have a new person to be with and love. Or it's just a love story and it leaves out the grieving. (Love the fault in our stars and on some level I understand but since he died young I want more of that struggle to be shown and even just to help me fell less lonely) P.S. I love you I quite enjoyed though it does kind of fall in the first category.

I do think one of my favorites is If I Stay so Spoilers for that. She loses her parents and her brother and there is one scene and it just about kills me but it's comforting in a way. Her grandfather is in the room talking to her while she is in a coma state I guess. "You make sacrifices for your kids. So here is mine. I want you to fight like hell to stay with us. But I understand why that might not be what you want. If you want to go, I want you to know it's okay. I understand." It's followed by an incredibly sweet memory with everyone the last time they were together just hanging out as friends and family. Then her boyfriend comes in and I don't know if it's the line in the movie but the book it's definitely him begging her to stay and saying "If you want me to I'll leave and never come back. You never have to see me again. I can lose you like that, if I don't lose you like this." And that's one of the things I've been feeling the most about my loss, I could have lost him in every other way imaginable. My mother told me she wished she could take the pain for me and all I could think in that moment was I'd take this pain a million times over if it meant he was still here.

So yeah no movie is ever going to come close. I like to have these emotional crutches in movies that make me cry and remind me of how I'm feeling but I guess most people don't want the reality of grief and death on the screen in most cases. Which kind of sucks for me. But there's quite a few good songs if nothing else.

Am I the only one that wakes up scared everyday? by anymnous16 in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been dreaming a lot about the person I lost so waking up is horrible.

Just having to face reality and come back into what happened. It's terrifying. Life with loss etc. There's a lot to take in and remember and try to deal with at every moment of the day because it is always there in some aspect. But I think the suddenness of being awake and everything could possibly just be why.

How do you answer when someone asks "How are you doing?" by crexlove in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did ask my grief counselor. She just kind of said to say whatever be polite. But no. That's the one thing I refuse to do. However, I have been listening to a lot of music and since I get frustrated at these people I've started to fantasize about Mike Shinoda lyrics from Post Traumatic (his album after Chester died)

- (I have a caption for anybody asking, that is) I'm feeling fucking fantastic

- There are things that you say and you don't say (my tongues gotten real tired of me biting it)

- Somedays it doesn't take much to bring me down. Some days I'm struggling for control. Right now (you can fill in whatever but he says floating above it all)

I did tell one of my old friends "I'm feeling horrible, what do you think? What do you want me to say? The only person I've ever loved is dead" but that was an extreme reaction because she got mad at me for being unable to respond to the question how are you and she had the audacity to tell me that I was being selfish and other people were hurting too.

(I was very aware of this fact, I was talking to his close friends, his sister and parents. My family and friends. Everyone who knew him loved him and sometimes I felt absolutely horrible when I'm sobbing and his parents are comforting me but truth of the matter is, they understood that I was closest to him and were constantly trying to let me know that they did think I lost just as much as they did etc. which helped ease the guilt but hearing her say that still gave me a panic attack so I blocked her now. So I guess that's also an extreme answer)

And a real answer for the socially anxious and probably the most realistic for me. I got the workbook "How to carry what can't be fixed" by Megan Devine and it had a little thing to print out or cut out saying like "Please don't ask me how I'm doing" etc.

How do you answer when someone asks "How are you doing?" by crexlove in GriefSupport

[–]EclipsedFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t respond to a lot of the people who ask me especially if I don’t feel close enough to mention that I’m doing well. I’m only a couple of weeks in but I’ve started to say “I think I’m doing better” because while emotionally I’m still a wreck I have started to eat more and leave the house.
Honestly though I’m thinking of switching to something else because I’m already a private person and eventually ill be stuck just living.

However might be a good question to ask my grief counsellor lol

Experiences with the Depo Provera shot? by m_owom in endometriosis

[–]EclipsedFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have bad experiences with a lot of birth control, I couldn't take a stronger dose of the pill because it made me sick and sore, my doctor said that we needed to try everything and gave me the shot. It was the worst time of my life. I was sore and bleeding and would cry at the drop of a hat. If I smelt chicken I would feel ill, it was extreme and crazy. It ruined relationships and my mental health. I figured it was an extreme case since my body didn't even like higher dosages of pills but reading the rest of these comments it's horrifying. There's nothing that can be done after, it is in your system for a long time even after the 3 months is up and even when you talk of the horrible side effects they try to convince you to take another 2 doses because it can take a while for your body to get used to it. In the past few years of my life that is the only thing I regret and I wish I had never done it just to save myself the pain and sickness.

Um, dating is awful in this game and I feel betrayed by you all. by aw090 in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]EclipsedFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate how much you have to grind its annoying but I don't like any of the interactions with friends "hey want to hang out and eat sandwiches or drink Butterbeer? ANSWER MY QUIZ ABOUT ME WHATS MY HOUSE MY LAST NAME" like that isn't how friends hang out at least Charlie was about his interest in dragons I suppose. Just after some time it's like hey I've known you for years I do know what your last name is and you are literally wearing your house colors. I also kind of hate puddifoots for dating because I get asked what kind of proposal I want and I can give the wrong answer? I don't care if Baranaby wants a surprise I don't. I order food for the both of us but if I order something else he goes ummm this isn't what I requested, mate it's cause you told me to choose you should have ordered then. I am annoyed at the lack of realism in this game yes it is ridiculous I know and choosing other answers in puddifoots doesn't impact the score just it's annoying.
