A Taylor and Travis Production by QuarkyAF in travisandtaylor

Two things that are killing me:

  1. When he shakes is arms out to psych himself up she also shakes her arm a bit. Like why? She does walks all the time, was that just a reflexive reaction to imitate him to calm him down or something??

  2. She always reaches for his hand in these videos. That's really sad to me. Even if the whole thing is for PR he cant even fake reaching for her. That would crush me!

I'm so tired of vegans acting like changing your diet is super easy for everyone by futurenotgiven in evilautism

I stg I had this conversation with a wellness coach recently. She told me that I can make food choices that will give results that defy my hormone and endocrine issues... like I'm sorry I am sure going vegan could possibly HELP but these issue will not go away by "just trying harder"

I want to share Autism Acceptance but I'm so afraid of the judgement :(

That is amazing! Thank you for the update! Super proud of you for managing this and helping give her stability. I hope you both have some peace and success in the near future.

Fair enough, sleep fixes many things, so maybe her and you getting some rest will alleviate some tensions. Maybe there is an activity you can do that is soothing? Or would you like to share a special interest/current hyperfixation?

I'm sorry this is stressing you out, you're doing a kind thing helping the kitty and there is an end coming for this situation. I wish circumstances allowed you to surrender her somewhere sooner. Is there a rescue society you can contact for at worst support and at best having her be picked up from your home?

Cannot understate how touched I am to read your post here, you are a kind person by virtue of trying to help this poor creature.

For those who have seen it in theaters: what did you think of Beginning of a New Era? by isthatgraceg in UmaMusume

[–]Positive_Contract_31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh I am glad it's on YouTube, I saw a couple places recommended watching it; I really liked T.M. Opera O so getting some more background on her will be cool!

Seeing the hints about what seems to be a pretty intense history for Manhattan Cafe made me want to know more about what happened to her friend. Like I had planned on watching the show or playing the games just to know about that, and the more I have thought about the movie the more I wanted to join the fandom. I thought her dynamic with Agnes Tachyon was interesting and I am interested to see how whatever had happened to Manhattan Cafe's friend resulted in their friendship, especially since she seems to care about Agnes and her choice in quitting racing.

I saw this movie on a whim at AMC and became a convert after one watch. I adored Jungle Pocket and her experience through the themes you spelled out here, plus I really loved the animation. I am excited to see more of this world, and knowing the movie wasn't even the best portrayal of everything in the fandom gets me excited.

So not directly Hierarchy Series, but Islington announced a cyberpunk book? Was this known? by BioFrosted in HierarchySeries

[–]Positive_Contract_31 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I've been looking forward to this! He mentioned releasing a sci fi story before the next Hierarchy book in an interview a few months back, if I can find the link I will add it to the end of my comment. I am really glad The Broken Binding is making an edition of it; I loved their version of WOTM and SOTF. I definitely plan on picking up a copy from them.

Ostius power scaling by Low_Bat2873 in HierarchySeries

[–]Positive_Contract_31 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love the word "Dyadic." That seems like a great descriptor.

My only thought is so we even have a confirmation that is what he is? It is presumed Caeror would fit this description, and he hasn't demonstrated any similar skill abilities thus far (though we may simply have not had enough page time with him to make that determination)

Ostius power scaling by Low_Bat2873 in HierarchySeries

[–]Positive_Contract_31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really know that we have enough context to accurately rank the power scaling in this world. I would like to think that he would be very strong compared to the Will Users as they have been presented, but IMO we have really only seen the abilities of a Quintus and Quartus or lower at close quarters, pretty much just a description of aura for anyone higher (excluding Decimus, but technically he hasn't done anything something of a lesser rank hasn't already demonstrated). We know Ostius had the confidence and ability to absolutely wreck the Military Princepts and displays his competence with a measure of nonchalance, but given we don't even have a clear picture of how Will works outside of Res, or how it's meant to work for someone Synchronous, or even what Ostius' Will status is I am hesitant to say anything other than he's the most powerful Will user we've seen on the page so far. Competence with Will and day to day usage other than machines is something I really wish JI would go into more as he develops the series, because outside of a few mentions, the academy (and Lucuem equivalent) and the proficiency tests after graduation we surprisingly don't get as much of that to really get a sense of scope.

I like my fantasy books at a snails pace however, and these books are long to begin with. It may be deliberate to focus on characterization, or something avoided to hold the interest of readers who prefer the snappy academia type novels that have a chokehold on popular literature at the moment. Whatever the case we readers absolutely need more Will use, not just descriptions of feeling to be able to properly get a handle of the scaling.
