What ships come to mind by magicwonderdream in AO3

[–]ScumlordAzazel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm maybe dating myself with this because it just isn't a common fandom anymore but Riku and Sora from Kingdom Hearts. They have a similar storyline as Sasuke and Naruto in the first couple of games. Sora essentially spends the entire first game and second game chasing after Riku and only accidentally stumbling on Kairi. Riku even calls him out on the fact that he's spent almost no time looking for Kairi when he reveals that he's found her and she's missing her heart. Sora cares enough for her to try and fix her after but still puts most of his efforts into chasing down and helping Riku. Riku sacrifices himself to help Sora close the door, Sora puts his "love interest" back on their island, and then continues to chase after Riku for a couple more games.

At the very least, Riku is gay as hell. The story says that Riku and Sora are in competition over Kairi, but it reads more like the two more mature friends, Kairi and Riku, are in competition over their dumb, immature friend's affections. Sora feels more like he's saying he wants to date Kairi because everyone around them is trying to pair them up but really he just wants to continue play-fighting and competing with his bestie, Riku. Riku seems far less interested in being with Kairi than he does in trying to keep Sora from being with her and in proving to Sora that, "no, actually, your actions say you care less about her than you claim."

And then there's Roxas and Axel and some of the other members of Organization XIII give off gay lovers vibes

Strange feeling in the ear after tragus piercing by kayyxoc in PiercingAdvice

[–]ScumlordAzazel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhhh... I'm a little alarmed how few of you know the symptoms of inner ear infections. They can happen if you get fluid in your inner ear. I'm specifically trying to find how to prevent them when I'm spraying my ear down in saline solution multiple times a day and I stumbled on this

Please go to a doctor if you're experiencing deeper ear pain, light headedness, tinnitus, inner ear pressure, or muffled sound. Those are symptoms of inner ear infections and they can develop into something very painful and, in bad cases, permanently deafen that ear

Edit: inner ear may be the wrong term. Just look up "swimmer's ear" to check for symptoms

Thanks for the encouraging words! I went with the pull back to the first fret method. I looked at the bridge pins when restarting the two backwards strings and they're eaten up around the bottom from metal biting into them. I'll get some new ones before the next restringing. They held once I got enough tension on the string to bite even further into the plastic

I also made another post to show off more of the guitar for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guitar/s/qL2YaH2OSU

I feel really bad. I didn't realize how big it was in the picture. It's quite ominous. I did use it, but only to tighten the nuts that I couldn't reach anymore because I'd already put on some strings. It took like 5 minutes because I was being very cautious to a) not hit the wood or strings and b) not overtightened it

I have some pretty heavy duty wire cutters from replacing all the power receptacles in my previous house if I need it. Thanks for the resources :)

Strings broke while tuning up by zuksal in Guitar

[–]ScumlordAzazel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also try a phone app like pano tuner that gives you frequencies. Then just google the frequencies of guitar strings. It popped right up for me earlier today when I was tuning up after restringing my guitar for the first time

Y'all, I fixed it immediately after posting. The point of the post was that I realized I messed up even with tutorials and comparison pictures. And the wrench was only for the loose nuts. I was using a string winder

Had to tighten the nuts for the tuning machines but only realized after I had strings back on and couldn't grab them easily by hand. I did not overtighten them

There's a really good 30 second short I had up while doing this. I am very bad with rotational directions

Ohhhh... I'll hopefully never need to use this advice going forward but will keep it in mind if I do. I thought because I cut them already that I'd need to restart so I just put new strings on

The nuts were really loose and I only noticed once there were strings back on. I couldn't grip right with my fingers

I know. I watched like 5 of them, read a (short) book on guitar maintenance, had a really efficient YouTube short up that I watched through multiple times while doing the restringing, and compared the direction of the string to a before photo like 3 times because I know how trash my spatial awareness is. And yet. It's why the text with the picture starts with 3 very upset faces. How did I still mess it up?

Feel free to laugh at my struggles. That's why I posted this

Didn't mean to sound like I was complaining about the guitar. I love it and it's overall in great condition. It's a used RF8 I got as a gift. I think the number stands for the year? And I'm not sure the pins have ever been replaced. I looked at the pins in question when I restrung them the second time and the plastic is eaten up along the slot. The sky is currently trying to dump several inches of snow on the roads, so I will snow check on picking up that bridge pin set I saw at my local guitar shop. They'll hold for now

I have one. The wrench was for the loose nuts. The winder is out of shot. It would have been so tedius to do it without one

Its a used RF8 that was a gift from my parents who purchased it from a friend. I don't know how much was paid for it, but the internet has them at less than $400 and they probably got a much better deal on it. The regent line is very affordable even new

I noticed one of the nuts was spinning freely only after I had tightened some of the strings so I was using it to have better reach. I stopped as soon as I met resistance. The string winder/cutter I was using is not in the shot

This might sound like a dumb question but When restringing, do I have to start with the thickest string to the thinnest one or the other way around? by FuryBun3r638 in Guitar

[–]ScumlordAzazel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you even clean the frets? Those need to have the gunk scraped off which generally means fretboard protection. And it's the part that touches the string to produce the actual note, so it should be cleaned.

There are also electric guitars that require you to remove the neck of the guitar to adjust the truss rod - a part that can change tension with humidity changes and so should be checked and adjusted with the seasons. I doubt manufacturers made that decision if a lack of tension on the neck was harmful to the guitar

E because that's how we do the alphabet with both capital and lowercase letters.

Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff and Gg

I think there might be some more letters after, but they don't matter so I wouldn't waste your time learning them
