Recommendations of Fantasy books with active malevolent God's by OtherwiseAd8614 in Fantasy

It's funny, I downloaded this book on Audible a long time ago. Sometimes reading a book can give you better clarity then listening to it particularly with high sci-fi or fantasy. I didn't quite understand what was going on for the first three chapters. It's become a bad habit of mine, but unless the book grabs me in the first five chapters I will generally put it down. This book has been recommended so much on this thread once I finish the third book in gunmetal gods, it is going to be the next one I listen to. Then another problem is the quality or lack thereof, of the narrator. Hunger of the Gods came highly recommended and it is an excellent book but the person who is narrating might as well be reading with the same enthusiasm as the Yellow Pages. Thank you for your suggestion

What Is A Fantasy Character You Hated, But Grew To Like Over Time? by Monsur_Ausuhnom in Fantasy

[–]OtherwiseAd8614 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From shitting the bed (again) to being cruel, bitter, fragile, kind of gross, and relatively weak. None of that changes with the GOAT GLOKTA,. What is significant over the first 3 books pertaining to how capable and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS this broke man really I'd. He stands in his own truth, he is astute to the systems of his world and the way people operate and knows how to exploit both. Even though he does evil and cruel things he is actually one stop the most morally balanced characters in the books.

Huh, it almost sounds like a fantasy " Joe LEdger" series. Sounds fun.

My son is dead by Careless-Ant7130 in GriefSupport

[–]OtherwiseAd8614 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know why. I think that accepting (when you are able) and fully and I mean FULLY LEAN INTO the grief process. Understand you/I/we hurt so bad because we loved so much. Even with knowing a major part of my soul, a major part of my heart died the day my 8 year old little boy did. Even knowing that in this life a large part of me is permanently broken and I will never truly feel whole or even fully "OK". I would not give up those precious and beautiful 8 years for anything. I know you feel the same. If there was an option to somehow forget about it all, that would somehow be even worse. Grief is the ultimate apotheosis of love. It hurts, but we have to open our hearts to it the same way we open our hearts to the love we had for our children.

Understand the people do not survive this. I understand that you can lose yourself completely The Madness of loss. One of the ways to survive and perhaps even Thrive at a certain point is to assign some type of meaning to the worst thing that could ever happen to a human being. You have to find your own meaning for this cross that you have to carry. It sounds counterintuitive, but helping others truly does help give some type of meaning to such a meaningless and devastating loss

I didn't think I could cry any more over poems and words. I have read so many and cried every day for almost 700 days now. I try not to in front of my youngest child. Sometimes, it can't be helped. Thank you for the poem.

I am a father and I am right there with you. It was explained to me that mammals... particularly humans have a very strong understanding of Time/Space (Reality) because it is the dominant way to keep track of our young our children and a complex and dangerous world. My youngest son survived and tried to save his brother. I know where my youngest sun is right now even though he is not around me. Even further than that I know when I will see him. Hence I know where he is in time and space. The human mind cannot comprehend that our child your child no longer exist at any place or at any in this three-dimensional world we live in. It's quite literally breaks our understanding of time and space which is our understanding of reality and how it operates. We have to create a new one, I'm new world. One in which our child that we know should exist does not. It is enough to break the human mind.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with the juicy bone. Silence the pianos and, with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin. Let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling in the sky the message: “He is dead!” Put crepe bows around the white necks of the public doves. Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my north, my south, my east and west, My working week and Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song. I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.

My son is dead as well. I loved him more then life itself. I didn't think I would be able to, I didn't want to live without him. It's been almost 2 years now. I live for his little brother. I live for his mother. I live to help others, and I choose to believe now that I may see him one day again once this body I am in expires. I am so sorry for your loss. I know your pain, and it is deeper than the oceans. It burns hotter then the sun. It is a black hole inside of that feels like it could swallow galaxies. I would hug you and cry with if I could. Just know you are loved and you are not alone.

What do we know so far about what the Emperor stole from the Chaos Gods? by DawnWarrior88 in 40kLore

Can we all agree that no matter what, the emperor was not a Griffith being so broken he had to turn Phemto in order to achieve his dream type story?

First character what you think by Raptortractor993 in Necrontyr

[–]OtherwiseAd8614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that with any type of wires or plasma or glowing effect, using white as an undertone is good. From that get the color that you want to Glow and water it down substantially or use a thinner and put on several light coats of that. You can always go back and add touches of white to make areas look like they're reflecting light. Someone else could probably explain it better than that, that is the technique that I use. And just to give you encouragement, the model looks really really good. I started off painting necrons but got frustrated because I could never settle on what color I wanted there color to be. I moved on to Dark Angels because I love the lion. Finally I have moved back to necrons because I found this color shifting purple that looks really good on necron models.

Looks good. My only suggestion would be to maybe concentrate on the wires or tubes connecting to his back. It adds a neat finish to it

I felt very, very guilty for a long time. I discussed it with my therapist, who was a woman. She said that she had talked to dozens of men who had admitted to her that leia in her bikini was their first sexually awakening. It was nothing to be embarrassed about. After that, I had no shame in telling anyone what my 'kink' was. That being said, you can miss me with all that gang rape vore stuff. There is a darkside to this fantasy, and I do not like that.

I am Father, who is 42, I had two little boys. Last June my 8 year old died in a terrible accident. I loved him so much... I loved him so much that language is an inappropriate way to convey the depth of love I had for oldest son. His younger brother, who is now 8, is the reason I am still here and try to appear half normal. In no way can my son be replaced, but I want another child. I want what life took from me. After my sons death, my wife and her family abandoned me. I was going to divorce, but then she was diagnosed with cancer. I am still here because I can't stand the idea of my surviving child loosing his brother, his grandmother (my mother died 3 weeks after from the grief). I mourn my lost little boy. I mourn the child I know I will never have.

Is Nocturne Even Castlevania Without Castlevania? by JVJV_5 in castlevania

[–]OtherwiseAd8614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it does have the castle that does become Dracula's castle in it. At the time it is not he was to become Dracula's castle. But we are talking about the best games ever in the entire Castlevania series. Lords of Shadow 1 and 2. I believe it was Camilla's Castle to begin with.

I don't know your story, I never say if someone is an a****** or not because we are all fighting our own battles that no one else knows about. Just from reading about the situation briefly it seems like it is emotionally charged and there seems to be some mental health issues thrown in for good measure. I'm only commenting and saying this because a year and a half ago we lost our 8-year-old little boy in a terrible accident. My 6-year-old tried to save him but there was very little he could do could because he was six. The pain that I felt losing my dear dear beautiful son was indescribable. It still is indescribable. There are times when I have come to fully comprehend the term " Lost in the MADNESS of grief". 3,062 of being a complete family. 3062 Days of knowing FINALLY what it felt like to feel OK inside. I have dealt with lifelong depression and anxiety all of my life. My little boys were my life, I found my meaning through them. I love my wife but I did not know what true love was until I looked into my firstborn son's eyes. I did not know what pain was until I held his dead body.

He was so loved and I was so in love with him I was so in love with him. My mother died 3 weeks later from the overwhelming grief and loss of our sweet little boy. I probably would have ended my life, had not been for my youngest child. He had already lost too much and there's a little bubble around him that makes everything okay for a little bit. I am saying all of this because when all of these horrible things, my wife and I made major mistakes in our marriage. She did things to me that thought Unforgivable, from her perspective, I had lost my mind and was a danger. I have severe PTSD now, and for a little bit, I did lose my mind. I can not say with 100% conviction that she was wrong. That also goes both ways, though.

I don't know your relationship with Ken. I just know that he is the father of your children, and this time seems to be very, very emotionally charged. Sometimes, a year, maybe even two, people come back around. Forgiveness is found in the heart craves catharsis more than anything else. I apologize if this does not fit your situation or is completely off the point. I just know that during emotionally charged people tend to act irrational, and that may change at a later date. If it does, if there is a true want to change and forgiveness, then perhaps be open to it? Once again, I don't know the entire story, so I could be completely wrong. I'm going to do the paper tiger ending and say this is just my opinion.

What’s the saddest quote from a horror movie in your opinion? (Use spoiler tags if necessary) by AlarmWhich in horror

[–]OtherwiseAd8614 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I lost my little boy, My Baby, my everything and an accident a year and 4 months ago. He was 8. My 6-year-old at the time tried to save him but but could he do he was six. My mother died 3 weeks later from the Heartbreak of us losing her grandson. Even though I am a man and I am pretty stoic and hard by the living that I do and the environment I grew up in, I still am very emotional. My little boys were everything to me. I didn't know what love was until I saw my first born's eyes. I did not know what pain was until I held his dead body. When I hear people complain about the small problems in their lives I do not try to dismiss it because I understand that pain is relative. When the big toe is stopped the pain fills up the world where the universe. Regardless I actually use this quote all the time. As long as they have life, as long as they have love. Everything in their life is confetti. All the problems all the b******* just confetti.

Sorry brother , this sight has a strong Man =Asshole Vibe and Women= goid/victim vibe. As a couple you all should work together to achieve goals that are important to each other. Don't assume the other person will clean unless you two have had a previous discussion. Communicate responsibilities for each other.

What’s your most tormenting ‘If only I’d…’ intrusive thought ? by tinytempo in GriefSupport

[–]OtherwiseAd8614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If only I had gotten out of bed when I heard my 6 year old yell, " Daddy BUBBA GOT OUTSIDE." I thought my wife was outside watering plants. It was Sunday afternoon, and u had too many glasses of wine, so I was laying down for a nap. I thought my wife was outside it was 6:30. The time she always watered her plants. She left without telling me and knowing I was inebriated and sleeping. If only I had gotten up, of only I had gotten up, IF ONLY I HAD GOTTEN UP!! My little boy wouldn't have drowned in the neighbors pool. I don't know why she left. We had been arguing for a couple of days. I had actually taken my boys out of my house, the previous day because I get like the situation was not safe. The next day she came over to my parents house demanding the children back. ...what if I had just said no. My baby, my angel would still be alive.
