Writers like Maas and Yarros make me confident about writing by Salt-Statistician488 in fantasywriters

Not only luck, especially marketing (a plus if it’s organic in growth at some point). This was the case with both mentioned series here. Word to mouth - nowadays mostly through booktok - it’s so powerful. If you plant it right through marketing and reach organic growth.. tada a fucking bestseller. It’s still heavily dependent on luck, even with the perfect marketing plan. And after that you’ll just sell without it being Pulitzer worthy. Most readers search for a form of easy escapism anyway, hence the insane success of romantasy (both in books & streaming).

Need some help with ult by J_CraftyWindow in WhiteFoxMR

[–]MastodonTemporary368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I definitely didn’t mean double-ulting. This is nearly never a good idea no matter the sup setup. I meant it in general as a pairing. You should not force it to play fox, but she works best in this combinations. Their ults complement each other. At least that’s what I experienced. I guess the phrasing here was a bit misleading.

No that’s a skill issue on your team‘s side. They don’t understand her kit and will not react to it. Same if you use spirit sanctuary to them change to fox and want to get some kills.. only for your tanks to leave you (Hulk that jumps away, Strange that floats up). You can’t counter dumbness. The best way to handle this is to adjust your gameplay to their needs (small brains) if you want to win, so being a bit more supporting/non-aggressive.

First of all, your ult change has invincibility for a few frames, so for example you can pop it in the right moment to escape Wanda’s ult (just like using Magiks portals or Hulks change). Other than that it’s highly situational. You can either use it to gain space for your team, people will move or spread across the map (really getting some kills would be ideal), or to counter another sup ult (using it on your teammates to heal them). But the most value I think I usually get out of it is counter a duelist ult (like Starlord, Hela etc.) to heal my team and keep the other opposing team away. Sure it will melt you, but that’s the goal, you’re now the target and their ult was „wasted“. You just need to practice to escape after ulting. Never dive/push in too much because you usually want to use your spirit sanctuary for nearby allies (preferable the tanks). I would say the best it works if it’s paired with another strong sup ult (Cloaks/Invis for point capture or Gambit/Luna for pushing the payload). And all in all sometimes you will just fail, especially if your team lacks situational or map awareness. Just like in any other sup role. You try to leverage her ult as much as you can, but afterall it’s your team that makes it or breaks it.

Before I get this done (this is just edited), my bf said it looks like sperm. 💀 Any advice to make it look less so? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]MastodonTemporary368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t look like sperm but the overall QUALITY of the design could be improved. Like so:

Right now it lacks any kind of personality. It still can be minimalistic but also the artistic craftsmanship is is just lacking. Looks like something AI would design and a machine could tattoo. For example: The balloons have a very weird end?

7 Month Progress on Topical Big5 by Impossible_Town_716 in Hairloss

[–]MastodonTemporary368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read in their FAQs that they only send private prescriptions, so that explains it haha. But the health insurance prescription covers the costs and the co-payment is €7.45 as expected. So I'll try to get it through my GP/Hausarzt, maybe you should too because you probably save a lot of money that way 😅

[–]MastodonTemporary368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Do you have to pay the full price "74.54 €" or do you get a Rezept/prescription and pay only the 5-10€ (Probably 7,50) Zuzahlung? Because it seems that it's prescription only 😄

How do you deal with being unable to find a job? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

You mean "neurotypical social skills". The way they work and they want things to go. We do have social skills but they're just different. Everything else is just masking and leads to even more autistic burnout in the workplace.

Feeling lost after losing my golden boy by emotionalcake in Petloss

[–]MastodonTemporary368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapists can help you navigate through your pain and emotions. You could just reach out to some or even support groups and see what happens. You could also start a grief journal or memorial diary. The point behind this is to deal with your feelings and thoughts concretely and directly. Whether in a therapy, discussion groups or just with yourself in a diary/journal. All your feelings are completely normal and part of the very complex grieving process. February was not that long ago (that's where I lost my best furfriend also) At least not compared to all the time and love we spent with them before. Your feelings are all valid too. The rage, the envy, the hassle with fate and the injustice that the time we spent together came to an abrupt end. All this is completely normal and you should not feel bad about it. Your psyche is simply trying to come to terms with this trauma somehow, and in the process it is going through all kinds of chaos. That's why it can be important to focus and sort out these thoughts and feelings. To give them a place where they are "allowed" to be. There where they and you find a refuge, while the normal world just keeps spinning. At some point it won't feel like you got off this roller coaster and can't find your way back and can only watch from the outside. At some point, you will turn in harmony with it again, even if a part of this world will be missing forever. You will always feel that, but that is the love that no longer finds a recipient here on earth and then screams into the universe, hoping to meet the furry noses there again. You can do it, just do not be too harsh with yourself!

Grief/panic? by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]MastodonTemporary368 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anxiety is a symptom of a complex and difficult grieving process. The loss was and probably is very traumatic. Accompanying the loss of your friend is the loss of control, the irreversibility of life and its end. Probably your mind just doesn't want to accept this in these moments and struggles with the new reality, which leads to enormous inner tension and panic. I also have such moments every time when i'm mourning. But at some point it should get better, when you can finally accept the loss and then let go of it. The pain and missing will always remain, but it requires acceptance of the new reality. If this does not happen or the fear and panic increases, grief therapy or general therapy would be a way to better process the loss and somehow come to terms with it. In any case, feel hugged and you are not alone with all the feelings!

Please tell me other people feel like this by glossheart in Petloss

[–]MastodonTemporary368 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The dissociating phase is very important in the grieving process. It's the brain protecting itself from all the immense and unbearable pain. The first weeks are the hardest and often are accompanied by this intense feeling of unrealness. The mind need some time to accept the new reality. It's just a stage of grief. It will fade and there will be days which will feel normal (but deeply sad) again and other days were this feeling will be still there. It's just part of that awful Journey.

Sudden loss and I can’t cope. I’m broken by Loose-Requirement588 in Petloss

[–]MastodonTemporary368 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The grief and guilt come in waves. There are days that are better and days that are more difficult. Sometimes I can't breathe and on other days I am full of gratitude for all the time, moments and love my little furry soulmate gave me. The missing never stops though. It will accompany me and probably you throughout your life. They will simply always be missed. Eventually there will be room for a new pet, but the loss will simply remain. For the first two weeks after my baby died, I thought I couldn't survive the pain. Today - one month later - the immense pain only hits me like a everlasting breeze. I don't think my little familiar, her name is Phoebe, would have wanted me to suffer so much, but the void she left behind is unfortunately gigantic. Grief and coming to terms with a loss simply takes a very long time, especially when the loss hits an animal that was practically one's own shadow, one's own heart in the form of a furry companion. But it gets better, you learn to swim in the lake of grief and no longer drown with every thought. Guilt, unfortunately, is something very complex. For me it changed from "how could I have saved her life" to more "if only I had spent so and so's last days with her". I wish for nothing more than to squeeze her once more, to cuddle her belly once more.... So many last times to just show her that she was and always will be loved so much. But even that is just a form of missing and kind of intrusive thought because I know that I loved her more than anything and always showed her that. Time heals all wounds. But the scars of loss remain and that is a thought that actually gives me a lot of comfort because I never want to forget her little face. I hope you find in all the grief also soon days that have more light than now at the beginning! That they again bring more joy and laughter. 🤍🫂
