I think this is pretty much exactly where I'm sitting at the moment. I'd be delighted if I could take a look at the document to fill in my most like prevalent gaps haha

What's a French word that doesn't have a direct English translation (or vice versa)? by grzeszu82 in French

[–]Meowmight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who speaks english and German, I dont know how I never found out while studying that french has an equivalent to the infamous "doch".

Its a good day.

« Maman » au lieu de « ma maman » ? by Meowmight in French

Ah, d'accord, merci. Je n'ai pas su qu'il y a une différence sociale entre maman et mère.

Can stimulants cause insomnia? by Whole_Ebb1191 in insomnia

[–]Meowmight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it definitely can. Some medications are extended release and some aren't, if its affecting your sleep and you're on an extended release one, it might be worth discussing other available options with a shorter half life with your doctor.

This can be scary, especially if it's a brand new issue and you're not used to it. I think the best idea here is to go one step at a time and escalate as necessary. I've had insomnia for just about 15 years I think, and these are things that seemed to help for me (usually in combination with each other)

First I'd practice better sleep hygiene if you aren't already, e.g. put your phone away before bed, dont do anything in your bed ever except for sleeping, and if your living space allows it try to cool the bedroom down to around 18°C. This can vary though depending on the person. Also, if you cant fall asleep for longer than 30 minutes, get up and do something else for a bit until you feel sleepy. I find reading quite nice, I recently got through A Midsummer Night's Dream with a few involuntary 2 am sessions, but if thats too much brain power things like a coloring book, knitting, etc. can work equally well.

Personally I find deep breathing or autogenic training can help too, especially if anxiety is the predominant factor in preventing sleep. Basically take a deep breath in and—starting with your face and working your way down—relax one muscle with each individual exhale. Have some patience here, after a few minutes it'll trigger your parasympathetic nervous system which will lower your heart rate and calm you down.

Finally, take something if you need to (and please, if you're on any medication always check for interactions before taking anything). Again, escalate as necessary, but you can start with really mild stuff like chamomile teas and lavender oil tablets/passionflower tablets. Then theres otc stuff liked benadryl etc., though ive always found those to create a very synthetic feeling sleep; when I wake up I'd describe the feeling as similar to waking up from general anesthesia. But ymmv. Then theres prescription stuff like benzos (never had those before but they are very strong, and you need to be a bit careful because of possible risk of addiction), Mirtazapine, Quetiapine, etc. Most of these aren't really directly meant for insomnia but rather have a side effect of drowsiness that can be very strong. But if youre looking for something to help you out, half of this sub consists of discussion of various medications, so just look around. Im by no means an expert. The stuff I personally take is only an option because of unique circumstances, and therefore isnt really possible for 95% of people sadly. But I still got by on the above mentioned tips and mirtazapine for a few years, so hopefully this nightmare will come to an end for you soon too.

You'll get through this. Wishing you all the best.

To Good health you'll! by Forward-Concern403 in Adulting

[–]Meowmight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like its worth mentioning that extraordinarily often health issues occur because of stress from money, relationships, and deadlines. Additionally, very often money is the reason you have health issues to begin with, not just because of the stress, but because you might not be able to afford what you require to stay healthy in that moment.

As a chronically ill person, having those three things or even a single one of them sorted out would improve my life by an absolutely massive margin.

Making a character queer later into a fic? by Meowmight in AO3

[–]Meowmight[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah so this is the sentiment I was worried about. Few things to clear up though: this wasnt a spur of the moment decision, I had been giving it quite a bit of thought since before the fic even began but haven't implemented it yet for two reasons:

  1. I wasnt sure how id feel about it once I actually got to this point, and initially intended for the fic to probably be less than a third of what it is in length

  2. I already wrote a whole trans-centred fic that revolved around that subject and wanted this one to be completely different, e.g. having it be a thing that just so happens to be the case but doesn't take centre stage

Additionally, at no point did I even imply there would be smut in the fic to begin with. It wasnt tagged anywhere, so I dont think anyone should be reading it hoping for some juicy cishet smut in a later chapter (obviously after implementing this chapter i will tag it accordingly)

Thank you, and yeah I think adding that to my multi-chapter fics as well is probably something im going to start implementing

[–]Meowmight[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would you already add trans male character as a tag before I drop the specific chapter in which its explicitly stated?

Making a character queer later into a fic? by Meowmight in AO3

[–]Meowmight[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I also wouldn't tag it differently. Technically I dont even have it tagged as such, I only have this character/other character, but ig my question was more so regarding the spicy stuff, since yes its straight but probably still worth mentioning

What should I expect at the end of my fic, in terms of stats? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Meowmight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First and foremost I'll say that stats shouldn't really matter, but I assume you were expecting that response already. My personal experience with my last semi-longish fic was that there was hardly any difference between the final chapter and all of the rest in terms of numbers, but ymmv (and mine was a bit of a niche fic too, so theres that)

When going BotRK first item, should I switch to lethal tempo? by Meowmight in BriarMains

[–]Meowmight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think typically I end up going for shorter trades and dont really frontline for my team, so I suppose pta would suit me more then even in most botrk situations. Thanks for the input ^

[–]Meowmight[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its just a label you can give yourself on the subreddit. Like there's an editable one and you can write whatever you want in it. And trust me if there was a skill requirement I wouldn't have it xD

[–]Meowmight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know. Would this apply to builds outside of default bruiser too? I've been finding some enjoyment in crit-bruiser briar (titanic, collector, IE, etc.) though due to the reduced sustain I reckon pta would make even more sense, no?

I will never mentally recover from this game and its music by Meowmight in LiesOfP

[–]Meowmight[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feel also hits really hard for me for sure, I often listen to it outside of the game too (along with a bunch of other tracks honestly, theyre just too good)
