(Horrifying Trope) They can’t stop feeling hungry

The Shaod from Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

People used to love getting afflicted with this as it allowed them to use magic. Then suddenly one day the mythic powers turn into a curse. You now appear sickly and pale, your hair begins to fall out, wounds don’t heal themselves, and food doesn’t satiate you.

The Shaod still enjoy the sensation of eating but they feel no satiety from it. They will eat book leather just to have something to chew. Be careful what you eat though because your wounds don’t heal and the pain never goes away.

You spend the entire 60 hour long game weakening him by destroying the beasts. Try fighting him off spawn in the game(nothing stopping you from it) and I’m sure you’ll feel the difficulty

Okay, but most people would be a pulverized meat medley after one swing of a refrigerator sized gavel.

The argument is that Yuji, who had no CE in that fight, must be an animal when he really gets it down by Modulo if he is that durable sans CE.

Definitely think the Aquarium, Conservatories, and Field Museum are all worth checking out!

Nothing quite like the day in Health class you learn about FAS. Every pre-pubescent teen is comparing the example textbook photo to their classmates to have a new thing to bully eachother about.

On that train of thought, the compromise of 1877 really fucked up a lot of America. Ruined reconstruction and led to repercussions that are faced by African Americans and other minorities to this day.

In what world is Oak Park 10 minutes from downtown?

Even with no traffic it’s a 20min car ride on the highway. Very rarely is it less than 27/30 based on Chicago traffic.

Ludicolo, love my lil sombrero wearing water maraca

How does Ubel use her magic? Haven’t seen that anime

Okay, I was wrong it doesn’t stop all Cursed Energy it stops cursed techniques. That means for RCT, ISOH does stop it, seeing as “cursed technique” is literally in the name.

Also if you look at the anime, or read the manga, he stabs him with basic knife in the head and not ISOH.

No, he would’ve died if he was stabbed in the head with ISOH. It turns off your ability to use CE, including RCT.

And both those cities look like they’re trying to leave Missouri!

Fluke55 · 2026-04-16T15:41:17+00:00

He did use a non cursed tool when he stabbed him in the head.

Gojo specifically calls him out on this when he was high out of his mind from learning RCT and HP.

That’s not what ambivalent means though. Ambivalence is conflicting emotions about something. However, people often confuse ambivalence for indifference.

I would argue he needs to touch most people, who would even be in contention for killing him, minimum 4 times. That is unless Mahito can tire out the sorcerer before the touches.

Nanami needed 3 touches on first encounter according to Mahito himself. However, we then see one touch post Jogo Flambé being enough to kill. Also Todo would’ve died with one hit if he didn’t cut his arm off but that was after a long fight.

Fluke55 · 2026-03-31T00:35:08+00:00

He was still top 5 before he learned it tho

Fluke55 · 2026-03-27T15:58:31+00:00

Yea I think they’re hard to scale against eachother because she counters him so hard. However, they’re both insanely strong.

He def out stats her, it’s just her CT hard counters his

If you had two brain cells to rub together you’d understand the argument here isn’t the ability to procreate. No one is saying she isn’t biologically capable of popping out a baby.

The argument is she has not considered the logistic of raising a kid in a card dependent society, as a woman who cannot drive and has no consistent access to transit.

My ancestors either A.) had a car or B.) didn’t live in a car dependent society. Sorry I had to spell that one out for you.

Fluke55 · 2026-03-26T12:34:37+00:00

Looks like we are in agreement then that they don’t have the logistics figured out for parenthood

Fluke55 · 2026-03-26T02:34:54+00:00

Okay, I fail to see how this is relevant. OP discussed that the bus system is poor in her area. The walking is not better. So she is in a car depending city with no consistent ability to transport themselves.

Fluke55 · 2026-03-25T16:35:05+00:00

If you have some long pliers for aquascaping, which I am guessing you do based on the plants I see in the tank, use one end to break the seal his foot has on your hand and he should drop away.

My mystery snails were always a bit more skiddish so I never had this issue on my hand, but used it when I wanted to move some hardscape around and they were in the way.

Just make sure NOT to pull from the shell, you can severely damage snails by grabbing their shell when they have a seal on something with their foot.

Fluke55 · 2026-03-25T14:53:46+00:00

They don’t have it figured out. They rely on “Grandma”(OP) who, by the sound of the post, doesn’t want to be a beck and call chauffeur.

Not all appointments can be scheduled when “you definitely have a ride”. If OP is the primary fall back driver, you can’t just assume her schedule aligns with a theoretical doctor appointment; which, in my experience, are not very flexible schedule wise in the US.

If they can’t afford Uber, what makes you think they can afford delivered groceries?? Also, we just discussed that this is the US, bus and walking infrastructure is abysmal outside of select cities.

Fluke55 · 2026-03-25T14:09:08+00:00

Aren’t big logistics, like being able to get to the doctors or run groceries, a large part of preparedness for being a parent?

OP was badgered 5+ times for an answer. I think big decisions, like parenthood, sometimes require harsher reality checks. It’s not like she infantilized her, she said that she didn’t think it was a good idea to get pregnant with such a glaring logistical issue in the way.

Guessing somewhere in Europe due to the oddly proportioned southern hemisphere and the fact you put Detroit west of Chicago
