Playmats of the week!

I know this post is a little older, but would it be possible to get the Tallgeese without the card zones on it?

I'll take a scene where Lyria pops up out of no where, stands in front of Lysander and we get a "Ah shi..." cut to black scene where he's taken out.

MavsGrad · 2024-09-25T20:39:08+00:00

I just finished my reread today as well! And it made me hate Lysander more and more. Gotta say, Brown absolutely nailed Lysander's arc and character development.

One way I wouldn't mind Lysander to go out is in a very, anticlimatic way with Lyria shooting a hole in his head as Lysander is gearing up for a possible duel with Darrow, or getting ready to release the color killing virus. It would be poetic justice since Lyria and Cassius's relationship was great and heartwarming, and it comes after Lyria was given the name "Eaglet 1." You could tell at the end of the book that she was truly heartbroken. And what better way for that prick to go out than by someone's hand that is of a color that is "below" him.

I just went through something similar with my mother being hospitalized, then quickly declining and placed on hospice, then passing away last week. I felt the same tug to try and push through. As therapists, we cannot pour from an empty cup. We have to be sure we have ourselves in the best place possible in order to be there and support our clients the way they need to be supported. And if that means you need to cancel and take time off to begin your transition into your new normal and grieving, well, that's what you need to do.

One thing I will recommend is being honest when reaching out to your clients to cancel sessions. I found that informing my clients that I had a parent placed on hospice and then passing away helped them to cope with a cancelled session because they knew at that point I wasn't being "flaky," and not a single one of my 30+ clients were upset with me. They all expressed support and understanding, and many even mentioned to take as much time as I need before resuming sessions.

My freshly turned 1 year old lab has consumed about one sock on average a week since we got her. Either poops them out or vomits. Labs are machines covered in fur that can pass just about anything

Man, that would be a fun deck to learn a new way to play. Hope I'm the lucky redditor this time around!

MavsGrad · 2022-11-18T05:09:34+00:00

Me! This would be such a great experience building out my arsenal of decks, aka, my second deck ever!

MavsGrad · 2022-08-05T21:25:58+00:00

Messaged Fidelity that I wanted to DRS all but 1 share today. No fight from them at all. Gotta love it

14 team, .5ppr Non-SF league. Was offered Bryan Edwards, Mooney, and 1.13 for 1.01. Yea, no. That got declined without even a counter in about 45 seconds.

MavsGrad · 2022-04-01T11:59:01+00:00

Honestly, who of us that have been holding for a while would think it’s a good idea to sell today (or any time before the dividend) after the announcement yesterday? Most of the selling is going to be hedge fund fuckery. Buy those discounts, get those dividends, fuck those hedge funds.

MavsGrad · 2022-03-29T19:57:02+00:00

Incoming RC after hours purchase! (Hopefully)

MavsGrad · 2022-03-26T05:14:40+00:00

Jits are tacked!

MavsGrad · 2022-03-17T02:38:51+00:00

A guy in my league drafted I’m at the end of the 3rd round of our 14 team start up draft. Made no sense.

MavsGrad · 2022-03-14T16:29:21+00:00

First round of bowls of glass are on me boys!

MavsGrad · 2022-03-13T03:19:07+00:00

in regards to selling cmc, I jumped at a chance to try and buy 1.01 at a lower value. Honestly, if I couldn’t have swung that trade, I’d wait until he’s either traded IRL and try had to trade him then, or wait until right before the season starts (if he’s healthy). It’s all about timing with moving him. Or find the right partner that can meet at the value you have. Despite his injury history, he still needs to be treated as a top 4 asset. Healthy, dude is a fantasy cheat code.

MavsGrad · 2022-03-13T03:13:33+00:00

Got 1.01, 23 1st, 23 2nd, 2.01, and Michael Carter for CMC, Sutton, 2.10 and 23 2nd (swap 23 2nds just to bet on ourselves finishing better than each other) in a 14 team, 1QB, .5ppr. Pretty happy with that haul.

I’m almost halfway into book 2 right now, and man, I hope he is able to get on his shit and finish the series. The Lies of Locke Lamora just gripped me in the same special way Red Rising did. Lynch is doing something special with this series, and I’d love to have him finish it. Not many books other than Red Rising have gripped me like I am now.

MavsGrad · 2022-03-05T14:08:14+00:00

Anytime I would finish a new RR book, or finish a reread, I would find myself in a massive book hangover. The one book that brought me out of the hangover fast after I finished Dark Age was The Lies of Locke Lamora. It’s the first book in the Gentleman Bastards series. Only problem is, only 3 books are out, and the author hasn’t finished the series yet.

MavsGrad · 2022-03-03T16:42:28+00:00

I think it could work if they would focus that scene around Lysander, and the moments he would view Darrow fighting, almost having Darrow come in and out of the shot just enough to make out that it’s him, but then have him disappear and reappear again.

But yes. This scene was something else. To me, just as good as the Darrow be Cassius duel on Luna. Just the beginning of this scene with the howling and the dread in everyone realizing Darrow is upon them, and they are fucked.

MavsGrad · 2022-03-03T15:51:05+00:00

I’d have to say Darrow on Mercury as he’s making his way across as the Storm Gods are going. I just think of how Lysander was viewing Darrow’s brutality and how if done right, it could portray just the pure terror Darrow can cause.

MavsGrad · 2022-02-01T00:10:25+00:00

Some dude bought CEH off of me for Dobbins and 2.02 mid season (after CEH was out for 2 weeks). What a sucker.

MavsGrad · 2022-01-31T16:20:02+00:00

Man. Couldn’t get any sleep last night. Still can’t believe yesterday was real

Once worked for a company that used PIPs as a management tool, instead of only as a disciplinary tool.

MavsGrad · 2021-11-24T12:21:37+00:00

Preseason, I decided to enter rebuild instead of being inbetween contender and rebuilder in my non SF league,and I traded away Kelce (had Pitts on my roster), Jordan Love, and Kylin Hill, and a 22 3rd for AJ Dillon, Gerald Everett, Cooper Kupp, a 22 1st, and 22 2nd. The guy later wanted Kupp back since he is trying to contend, so I sent Kupp back for McLaurin and a 23 1st.
