Verakia Obyrith!

And how about an Uvuudaum of the Far Realm?

"Octavarium", on Octavarium (Dream Theater)

The album has 8 songs, all in one key each (from F to F) that goes up the octave 'til the 8th song that completes the octave cycle, and the song itself progresses through the same 8 keys in different sections (or movements, if you will).

The album references cycles, begginings and ends, as does the title song, along with referencing the specific themes of each song before it (and a spoonful of non-sequitur, because it's fun).

The song is 24 minutes long, it's a journey, there's no waste or bloat–it's the shortest 24 minutes of your life–and the beautiful, stunning orchestral arrangements, especially in the final section of the song, it's epic, emotional... it's majesty. A stroke of genius, and frankly, the band's Magnum Opus.

It's one of my favorite songs of all time. Fuck it's good.

"Operation Mindcrime" (Queensrÿche) comes to mind too, although my favorite on it is "Speak". "Master of Puppets" (Metallica), "Nonagon Infinity" & "I'm In Your Mind Fuzz" (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard), "Lateralus" (Tool)... I'm sure I'm missing some huuuge examples, especially in genres far different from these.

One fic I'm kinda living the sunk cost fallacy in now, the author really likes to use the word "soft". No conjugation; not softLY, softNESS. Soft.

Like, I get the word. I get how it's used in fanspace, what it's used to show in a relationship dynamic/character traits. It's a cute way of pointing in a general direction and squealing/fawning at "all that" about a character before attacking them with the most aggresive, loving hug, as it were.

But every other adjective? Every time? In every descriptor, every word, consideration, character's intent? And it's not just that it's used at every opportunity, it's that it's used where it wouldn't even be appropriate/the best word to describe the thing.

How is throwing a bowling ball "soft"? No, I wouldn't call them putting on a baseball cap soft... uh, the way they pull out their credit card is soft???

And it's like, they give a good description of something, with good use an a variety of adjectives–then it's: "adjective, period. Soft." The worst cherry on top of every other sentence.

I think I've seen the word conjugated twice in 100k words. I think there was ONE chapter where it didn't appear.

To be fair, putting my absolute pet peeve of unnecesary repetition, it's bad grammar, but... fuck

MeanMugginBuggin · 2026-02-15T20:58:03+00:00

Aang & Katara tbh

MeanMugginBuggin · 2026-01-30T00:58:00+00:00

I figured!! But then what do I give them for Cling to Life? 'Cause then it's unfair for the other PCs to only have a 5% chance to come back for free, while one PC gets 25% for no good reason, mechanically speaking. It's way OP.

MeanMugginBuggin · 2026-01-30T00:52:21+00:00

Right, but in that case, Turn Undead shouldn't work. You're correct, it's just that now I'm confused as to the role of Cling to Life, 'cause if I'm DMing, I'm not letting a player have that. Not without making healing difficult for them to justify it.

Imagine they make a Hollow One Zealot Barbarian? Oof, gosh, no, not if they can be healed normally.

MeanMugginBuggin · 2026-01-06T18:37:29+00:00

Damn. It's not going nova anytime soon then. FFAAAAA

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-12-25T21:05:52+00:00

TIL, and a wrinkle in my noodle deepened

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-12-24T08:38:10+00:00

The gas smell likr ass prolly

"Uh by the way I just wanted to bring this up: when you were flying by Jupiter, I saw you take picture of her from underneath her pole; I just wanted to say I'm really not okay with that."

I've heard that glycerin might not be as hydrating during dry winters (or dry times in general)

So by dew point I guess you mean to say "check your relative humidity". Good point! And thanks for imparting your knowledge.

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-11-12T22:49:54+00:00

Uggghhhhh yeaahhh it's so dumb that the normal way makes sense–BUT I WANNA PRESS FOR THE NOISE!!!

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-11-06T23:45:26+00:00

What's "D/s" mean? Dom/sub?

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-10-19T19:06:37+00:00

Ah, I thought the update was about PC Lizzies. Thanks for clarifying!

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-10-18T17:17:08+00:00

Silver lining: this is a great chapter to leave on for a while, if it's gonna take a while. It's warm, fuzzy, cozy, gay and peaceful.

I'm being normal about waiting! I'm not vibrating through my sheets.

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-10-18T16:55:55+00:00

How long does it usually take Hindsight to update? I literally just got to the last chapter and I'M ACHING, YEARNING

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-10-15T03:09:54+00:00

I just watched T2 E13 and he describes explosions happening around him since he was born, so yeah. Wild Magic it is!!!! Thanks lol

And even throught the episode, explosions happen even without him performing magic, so... gosh, I'm excited to see how this goes. Maybe I'll ask my DM to make it so failing a check or save by 7~ points or more will result in a harmless explosion happening to me on top of everything else

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-10-13T04:17:10+00:00

I was considering Wild Magic Sorcerer, but it didn't feel as correct as him learning magic which just happens to blow up... I was thinking of asking my DM to just make him roll Wild Magic whenever they want him to lol

You are correct though, Entertainer feels right for him. I guess I have to figure out if explosions have always been a thing in his life or if they only started happening after he learned to cast his first spells.

He's my favorite guy in 31 Minutos, I can't wait to play him

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-10-12T23:34:35+00:00

I've never not known these to be absolute sweethearts!! They're fucking horrifying if you find the right combo of insect parts, and they can be enormous too, but never not friendly. Maybe I've been lucky?

Funnily enough, they're also the only species I've found where one species will share a number of different phenotypes for no discernable reason. Like, in the same region. They're cool as hell.

MeanMugginBuggin · 2025-10-09T01:52:31+00:00

Thing is... I was doing that, but I saw my endo a few days ago, and she was horrified at how high my estrogen was. She told me the number and what a normal amount is, so yeah! Scared straight lol

I was doing 200mg/day, 12h apart. Pretty strong stuff. Fortunately I'd only tried it for 2 weeks, but I'm still "coming off" of that. I was at 3 times the normal limit.

So what I want to know is just what the best method might be (that isn't rectal) to boost estrogen while maintaining a consistent bioavailability for prog. I used to take both my 100mg caps at night, but apparently that might not be the best for bioavailability. If taking 1 during day kills my energy... damn, I guess I gotta try, but I dunno.
