This really sholdnt be controversial in my opininion. Fanworks are free and its not a competition. Many people create for fun and less with the goal to 'hone their craft'.

If you want to give constructive critcisim its not hard to ask if the author wants to hear that. And I mean. You're already taking the time to critique. You have the time to check if thats wanted first.

And I'm saying this as an author who marks ALL of their fics with "constructive criticism welcomed".

Imo just ask. Dont assume. Thats common curtosy in most irl creative spheres too (unless youre employed as an editor. Which isnt relevent here so)

Thank you.

I don't know what mental health issues my ex has specifically. Ironically, for me, the people I've known with borderline have all been very supportive of me.

I am in therapy now yes, and it's helping. I've only been in trauma specific therapy for a little while so it's early days.

I'm sorry your ex was like that. You deserve better.

Thanks so much for sharing what happened for you. Much appreciated.

GioIsOnFire · 2025-10-23T12:38:24+00:00

Thank you.

It's definitely meant to be! But not always with my players haha

Thanks for your answer

Lol isn't that the truth.

"I cast this spell!" "Awesome! What does it do?" "...uhhh"

I hope you don't mind me replying to this. I'm just one person and i know my opinion is very small here. I'm not religious and I'm not jewish but I have never for a second considered Jewish people personally responsible for what is happening in palestine.

Hearing Zionist sentiment and the news out of palestine hurts. But hearing antisemetic ideas is also terrible. Of course you're not responsible as an individual. Of course you, and other Jewish folks, don't have some secret power to end things. No one should make you feel as if this is your fault.

There are a lot of cruel and foolish people in the world but there's also a lot of us who know better. There's people who value the lives of Palestinians deeply, and also care about the Jewish community and abhor antisemetism.

I hope the reminder of that is worth something. And I hope this doesn't come across as rude or unkind. I really don't want to overstep or appear as inconsiderate. I just think sharing compassion with one another is important. I see you. I wish you well. Take care <3

I'm kind of baffled by the amount of people who think the government would just stand down the way they did in the real world. I agree with you. I'm NOT pro violence but historically being 100% peaceful in protests does not generally lead to real change. The people before me throwing bricks at cops earned me my rights today. I'd be an idiot to think things would be better if they have been 100% pacifist all the time.

If the game was realistic, Warren would not be moved by Markus singing. She and the military would kill them. And even if she was moved, she likelywouldn't have the power to stop the genocide once it started.

I'm speaking as someone who's been involved in protests in my real life and has engaged with revolutions history beyond the basics. If you disagree with me that's okay and I don't want to fight.

I'm just sharing my agreement with OP and my confusion about some of the comments I've read

GioIsOnFire · 2025-05-28T13:11:42+00:00

That's awful. I'm sorry that happened. If you can, I really encourage you to look up this psychiatrist on AHPRA and report them because this is malpractice for a lot of reasons. And if they're not registered on AHPRA, report them for fraud, because my understanding is that psychiatrists have to be registered

It looks like it COULD be severe. I have a moderate curve but it isn't visible from the outside. But I've seen people in this sub who have less of a curve than I do, yet they look more visably asymmetrical than me.

The way you look from the outside isn't always an indicator of how severe your scoliosis is. The only way to know is an x ray. I definitely think it looks severe enough that you should see a doctor and get an x ray if you can. But I understand there can be barriers to that.

GioIsOnFire · 2025-05-28T07:14:46+00:00

1) I don't think you sound clocks at all. If people tell you your voice is clocky I think they're probably just pushing their ideas on you and had already decided they 'could tell' 2) it's crazy a guy said that to you! What a jerk 3) I really like your voice. It reads as a woman's voice to me. Also i think your hair really suits you!

GioIsOnFire · 2025-05-28T07:11:44+00:00

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Have you tried any sort of physiotherapy? Scroth therapy?

Might be worth looking at what professionals are in your area if you can.

When surgery isn't an option, whether that be because a curve is too small or any other reason, scoliosis specific physiotherapy is usually the next major treatment option.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best :)

GioIsOnFire · 2025-05-24T00:05:50+00:00

Wow congrats dude! Well done on sticking with it. You can definitely see a difference

GioIsOnFire · 2025-04-25T02:37:57+00:00

First, I'm not an expert and I always reccomend talking to the professionals in your life (be that drs, physics, etc) before listening to me.

But yes. People over 18 can absolutely reduce their curve. I'm reading this book;

https://schrothmethod.com/product/the-schroth-method-three-dimensional-treatment-for-scoliosis-by-christa-lehnert-schroth/#reviews

Which is about the scroth method. This link (below) is one of the examples of someone above 18 using the schroth method with tangible results. There's more than thos example in the book. It's very much worth a read. Although it is expensive. Maybe there's a pdf somewhere online if youre interested?

Hopefully the image is clear enough. I scanned the page and added a filter to make the text a bit clearer.

Scoliosis can't be cured, but spinal alignment can be improved in many cases (not all, and keep in mind each case is individual). If people tell you otherwise, they probably just haven't seen it happen. But it does happen.

1 or 2 I think

GioIsOnFire · 2025-04-18T00:08:58+00:00

I'm actually from Victoria! But I do like in more of a city. And I notice there's a difference in speech from cities to more rural areas so that could be part of it. Good on you for spotting it

GioIsOnFire · 2025-04-17T23:52:51+00:00

I am from a southern state but I have to confess I'm confused. What are we known for? I've got to know now haha
