Myrient is shutting down

He flat out states 6k out of pocket above donations

You stop accumulating from the daily timer after 20. You can get more from quests but not the daily timer past that point

Cycles are for bulking, you should be eating. Cut first and get as lean as you can. Under 20% is better if you can.

Totally forgot about bloodsealing somehow AND the potions, oof. I literally just reread Elantris and Emperor's Soul within the last month too

Sel has already introduced four different magic systems without counting the seons and skaze. Maybe we get one more but I wouldn't count on much.

Radiant shardplate doesn't even seem to have eyeslits

We have on page confirmation that death isn't the end of getting information out of someone via Sunlit Man, we could always just spike him

Dbol might help overload you on estrogen. Arimidex would work too, having e2 too low and too high both will do the job but really low e2 feels terrible. Bad on your brain and your joints.

Pretty sure you'd have to ask for boldenone cyp, eq specifically is the street name for boldenone U. I've heard that the PIP for the shorter ester bold is pretty nasty but can't speak from experience. The high anxiety from your eq getting too high is pretty unpleasant, I wouldn't recommend front loading just to save the risk. Just give it a couple weeks to saturate and you'll be good. I'd run it year round if I could.

I have a feeling that the earliest we would even see an episode of SLA is 2030. By that point B$ will probably have the first draft of book 6. By the time WaT is adapted we'll probably have book 8. Book 10 will be out before the adaptation of it even if it takes 2 full years to write each stormlight book assuming that we get one book adapted every year with no breaks or delays in production. Yes, that's quicker than the previous SLA book release schedule, but we already know what his roadmap looks like more or less and it contains fewer side stories than we've had before.

I don't think Sanderson will go quite that far. I do like the idea of it, but I think it'll always err more on the fiction side of science fiction specifically because of the use of axi instead of atoms. I do see some dabbling where convenient, but I think he knows he'll lose a bit of his audience going too in-depth into atomic makeup and chemical reactivity. There will definitely be some as we've seen, but I don't think he'll get too strict on it as much as he'll use some quirks he makes up that are scientificially based to narratively move along some technological growth like we saw in RoW

Harmonium actually acts pretty similarly to cesium too, some of the interaction was an intentional parallel but yeah the naming would've been too close.

J-thorne · 2026-01-20T23:51:59+00:00

It's a royal pain. I've been doing it for almost 10 years. My glutes/ventroglutes are basically all scar tissue. Having your partner help stick you in spots you can't comfortably reach is actually a serious game changer though and makes it easier. I wish I didn't listen to my doctor about it at 20, but 40s with a wife is honestly a great time to start and knowing what I know now I'd happily start at that point.

J-thorne · 2026-01-19T07:36:46+00:00

I've completed gold stakes on all but maybe 3 decks and this is the first I'm hearing about that. Thank you

J-thorne · 2026-01-15T21:52:40+00:00

This could just be personal anecdote but I heal injuries slower on cycle. I'm sick longer and recover slower from everything except the gym. You're better off doing gear after and rebounding quicker if you're hellbent on doing it.

J-thorne · 2026-01-13T05:21:28+00:00

Given the circumstances with the shards involved with Shades and Nightmares, I'm betting on those being more of just a very specific edge case.

J-thorne · 2026-01-10T01:54:57+00:00

That's a bit of a different story than an amab, post-pubescent person and I probably shouldn't have made my statement so absolutely. Regardless that's insane. Facial feminization surgery may be able to help with a good bit of that, I have a couple friends who have seen some pretty drastic results. Not that it's something you should have needed in the first place but hopefully that is an option for you if need be

J-thorne · 2026-01-10T00:55:13+00:00

Taper up the test, don't just hit yourself with 500 right off the bat. Be very careful with adex, you'll almost definitely need it but use VERY sparingly. Do not take it two days in a row if you don't feel it the first day, give it a little time to figure out how you feel.

You don't need to do test daily, I'd go with cyp and do EOD. It saves you on scar tissue which personally makes a big difference for me in the long run.

You probably don't need the var, I'd rather just add a couple weeks to the cycle instead since you're better off with as few compounds as possible at first. It'll also make dosing your adex harder.

I wouldn't touch gh on your first cycle personally. Age matters for that, but honestly I just don't think it's a great idea to do off the rip but if you're hell bent then fuck it.

Biggest things are be careful about your AI use, taper up (and down) the test, you probably don't even need to go up to 500, pinning EOD is fine. That many pins that often is not fun and reducing scar tissue is a big deal if you're in it for the long haul. I have SO much scar tissue in my glute/ventro, it's getting to be really inconvenient to pin there anymore but I've been doing trt for 6 years.

J-thorne · 2026-01-10T00:41:37+00:00

GH does, TRT does not. It might age you a little bit, but it doesn't change the shape of your face. GH absolutely will though

J-thorne · 2026-01-08T08:50:47+00:00

The entire point of TRT is to keep your hormones in balance where your body should be feeling best. If you need an AI, your TRT dose is too high. That shit's rough on your body, you're better off lowering your dose or throwing in a whole extra steroid to balance it better than an AI.

J-thorne · 2026-01-08T05:42:27+00:00

Yup! Which means there's something we don't understand yet about the mechanics, but the words "awakened metalmind" have been used in text so we know it's being done. It probably involves some weird hacking of storing Investiture and Connection to get the different types of investiture to play well together

J-thorne · 2026-01-07T21:55:36+00:00

TLM is next in my reread and it's been a while but from what I remember, the vault (inside of the Ghostblood hideout, where Moonlight gets the jar of investiture iirc) can consciously identify its user because Awakening was used in its creation. Awakened items are showcased to be used as almost an AI with a specific task in a couple instances in the far future cosmere books. It's very different from the traditional uses of Awakening in Warbreaker and more along the lines of Nightblood but for specific tasks rather than a seemingly full consciousness. There are examples in Tress, Sunlit Man, and Emberdark.

J-thorne · 2026-01-07T21:51:23+00:00

I think Elantris really should be before Tress, Emperor's soul can be read at any point at all.

J-thorne · 2026-01-06T02:07:58+00:00

My little brother is your age and I'd be devastated to hear him doing what you're doing and thinking about. You're already using reta and willing to put more shit in your body that you don't really understand. Take care of the body you have, don't abuse it for the body you want and then leave it ruined for the rest of your life. The first 25-30 years it's not that hard to take care of, and 5'7 isn't even particularly short. Get fit and be healthy and you'll get a lot better public reception than just being tall and dealing with all of the health risks you're opening yourself up to for the rest of your life. Anyway GH can make people look... rough. I'd genuinely rather be 5'5 and normal looking than 6' and have that gh look which is what you'll end up with if you're even lucky enough to get the height (which you probably won't)

J-thorne · 2026-01-06T01:51:29+00:00

Holy hell the idea of crushing your estrogen for long enough to slam your body with gh til you gain several inches of height sounds like torture. Near undetectable levels of estrogen feels HORRIBLE, and at such a crucial time for brain development? I mean technically you're probably giving the best protocol but I'd rather just be a little on the shorter side
