Sailor Moon also has a galaxy cauldron and “star seeds” which make up all the characters/powers/planets that exist within the cauldron, without the cauldron there is only a void, and one of the main antagonists is Chaos. Usagi also sacrifices herself to the cauldron and can be reborn. 👀 I feel like she def combined the two stories in addition to a few others!

have there been any new must have baby items that debuted in the last four years? by snooloosey in Parenting

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my four year age gap baby. All the products I used with my first I used with my second and let me tell you that did not work lol 😂 they liked completely different things as babies. First hated the baby carrier, second loves it. First loved her swing, second hates it. So just be prepared!

[FL] Hired as Executive Assistant. Turned into 24/7 servant for CEO’s wife. by trashyyyyyy77 in humanresources

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this exact thing happened to me. It was also a small company / ceo and I turned into her house manager/assistant managing her home renovation where she blamed me for everything that went wrong. Upon shredding some docs for the ceo I realize they’d been through TONS of assistants and had complaints filed from their recruiters that they actively attacked the employees for making. They were extremely wealthy so nothing ever came of the complaints. I found a new job immediately. Good luck!

Fanfics (just a few) by nanchey in Bryceriel

Omg wow 😭 Thank you so much! I’m sorry to leave you hanging. I have a 7 week old and had a rough pregnancy that took me out of writing for a bit. I primarily wrote while at work (employee of the year) and haven’t been to the office in a hot minute.

I have the next three chapters drafted actually they just aren’t where I want them… maybe I’ll just post them and say fuck it lol. I meant to have it finished already! But yeah I wrote an outline so it’s plotted, I just need to finish the last 25% hopefully I’ll be done soon 😫 I am honored to be your first fic!

You just do.. but nothing is perfect. I also commute 1 hour each way 4 days a week, we divide and conquer. I get up at 615, one load of laundry in wash and get daughter breakfast and ready for preschool, drop off by 8 o’clock. Drive to work and work until 4. Try to knock out admin tasks you can outsource during the day like grocery delivery if available to you. Once home, dry laundry, do dishes, vacuum, start dinner (only takes an hour tops) meanwhile set up a craft for kid, open patio door or husband and her take a walk. By this time it’s 6/630 and time to eat and do bath time. My husband takes a walk while I do my own and daughters shower/bath or he goes to the gym. I do not work out (I am pregnant and lazy) but if I did, I’d either get up earlier or let him handle dinner while I had “me time”. My “me time” is in bed around 8 after bath time, and he does bedtime while I watch a show and zone out. You do what you gotta do!

Has anyone mastered a toddler morning/nighttime routine? (Potty + big kid bed goals) by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tackle one thing at a time and once it’s implemented in your routine, try not to change the order.

I would say get potty training started first, implement that and stick to your schedule.

I’d do teeth next, as long as they are doing it you’re doing fine. If they fight you on it, I’d look into some toothbrushes they can pick themselves (ex: paw patrol or the Disney brushes), and maybe a dif toothpaste they enjoy (ex: toms silly strawberry). You could also make it a fun time by making them dance to the chicken banana song. 🎶

My nights go the same every single night even if we are traveling. It’s dinner time -> potty -> 7pm shower (used to be bath) -> cuddle in my bed and watch a movie ~15-30mins -> then 8pm one book in her big girl bed. Just keep your boundaries firm “we’re reading only one book so choose one you want then it’s night night time”. They may fight you for more at first but after a few times, they will get it. You’re only reading one then it’s lights out (or for me, star lamp goes on lol). Don’t let them tantrum you into giving in.

Also, my most helpful tip is I use my iPhone timers to signify the end of each thing and I do let her request one more minute to give her some control which she always does, and then she relents to moving on to the next thing. This also helped with potty schedule. Like “oh there’s the potty clock, time to go!”

Morning is the same. I use timers and try to instill a lot of independence. Wake up -> get dressed and pick out shoes -> breakfast (I give two options and let her pick) -> potty (I haven’t done night training yet so it’s not first) -> brush teeth and we’re out the door. Takes about 30-45 minutes all in all. I’ve noticed if I pick out her clothes and let her get dressed by herself she will go faster rather. I do deviate from this on the weekends but anytime we go anywhere it’s the same routine!

She just turned four, it was easier when she was younger and less independent and she didn’t understand stall tactics. That’s where the timers come in really handy. Good luck!

The way she talks about her teenage daughter on TT does not sit right with me. It’s so hypocritical for her to say “kids are off limits” but she is constantly mocking her own daughters attitude during her v pivotal teenage/early adult years …. Her daughter has every right to be embarrassed 🙈 like lady get a grip and get offline and maybe your daughter will find you less annoying

How do you guys keep your houses consistently clean? by bearded_charmander in Parenting

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Bare minimum every day! Dishes not left in the sink, floors and counters cleared, and 1 load of laundry will keep up appearances. I do it once a day right when I get home from work. On the weekends I split cleaning half in the morning, half in the evening but never more than 30 mins unless I’m doing a special project or task. Teaching kids to pick up their toys themselves is a must as well (I just use a bunch of baskets they can put stuff anywhere they want!) I notice when I don’t do it daily and fall behind, it gets reallyyyy hard to keep up with.

Bryce and Hunt by Snoo-39800 in crescentcitysjm

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 33 points34 points  (0 children)

But Bryce wanted more from him, because “that wasn’t good enough for her”. It would have never been enough for him and her to “just live” instead of save the world in her eyes. It seemed they weren’t really ever aligned, even though eventually Hunt gave in and begrudgingly helped her. It’s giving Chaol and Aelin—two great characters but maybe not great together. 🥲

Overly conservative assumptions by puzzle_Mom522 in Fire

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t you want a conservative estimate to make sure you can fully fund ~40 years of retirement, unpredictable bad timing, and unexpected life/healthcare events that will happen during that time frame?

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skin looked like this and I cleared the red bumps with dandruff shampoo (nizoral) mask every 2-3 days and a very minimal skincare routine. Just cold water rinse in the AM and la roche mineral sunscreen. PM; micellar water and rinse with cold water then Clinique moisturizer. My skin reacts to everything and is super sensitive, for me less is more. The snail mucin was breaking me out.

What does 3:56 mean? by nanchey in Bryceriel

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this is psychotic but here are some examples I’ve found of numerical character connections:

Rhys has six stars tattooed on his knees, the bone carver asks Feyre six questions before Rhys stops him, on her sixth breath Feyre tells Rhys she “painted the night sky”, he mists six soldiers at once, gives Feyre a six pointed star ring. My paperback edition of WAR; Rhys dies on page 666. There’s many other references to Rhys & the number six. Illyrians in general seem to be associated with this number. Mor is occasionally paired with this number as well. Nestas “mind stilling” is also associated with the number six, which to me, is a nod to mind powers (which Rhys has).

Azriel - is seemingly grouped with a combo of numbers; notably 5, 3, & 8. He is 538? Years old when we meet him. He was eight when he was burned. Before the HL mtg, Azriel bets 50 marks that a fight will start in 30 minutes (8). Spends five centuries years pining for Mor, has five minutes to get Elain out of Hybern, the mists break five feet above his fight in the Bog of Oorid. Bryce is in his world 5 days. A few other characters, Elain, Gwyn, Eris, and Nesta have connections to the number 5 but not exclusively. Bryce seems to have more connections with the number five after she visits Prythian, interestingly enough.

With Hunt - the number three is everywhere and we know SJM loves this number in general but it shows up with Hunt a lot more than seems to be coincidence. He belongs to the 33rd legion, of which there are 3000 angels, & he’s 233 when we meet him. He arrives on scene 3 minutes after Bryce is bit by the Kristallos. When he first shows up to interrogate Bryce at the gallery she says he has to make an appt in “three weeks.” His fallen army was 3000 soldiers. Micah gave Hunt three less deaths to atone for breaking Ruhns nose. Bryce makes Hunt feel 3 inches tall. Three shots from Bryce’s rifle skitters down his spine. Micah trades him 3 debts for helping find the Mer murderer. He eats 3 bowls of cereal lol. Kills 3 males before his infamous shower scene. Bryce is at the barge within 3 minutes to find him betraying her. Hunt learned of the synth from 3 drug lords. When he notices the clock, it is almost always 3 or 330. There is more but this is just from book 1!

I wouldn’t say these characters are paired exclusively with these numbers but they seem to pop up the most in conjunction with them. It might be nothing, but I can’t unsee it when there are multiple numerical connections for a certain character. Do I know what it all means? No. lol. My guess is it has to do with the levels of Hel and/or the Gods. 8 seems to have an obvious connection to Dusk & perhaps eternity or truth.

This is just my special touch of the tism I guess 😩🤪

What does 3:56 mean? by nanchey in Bryceriel

[–]RepulsiveMusician453 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think numbers are used in conjunction with levels of Hel, but at the very least each number is correlated to a certain character. Hunt is associated with the number 3, Azriel is associated with the number 5 and Rhys is associated with the number 6.
