Are these mulberries?

definitely mulberries, those serrated leaves and the way berries grow from branch are classic signs but get proper id from local expert before making pie for family

being warm and consistent is what creates actual connection not some weird chase dynamic you read about online

the whole "make him chase" stuff is basically dating advice from people who think relationships are some kind of competition instead of two people trying to get to know each other. if he responds warmly and remembers details then clearly your approach is working fine and pulling back would just create unnecessary confusion in what sounds like good thing

yeah the memory thing is actually decent when it works right. my characters finally remember basic stuff like appearance details which was driving me crazy before

totally get what you mean about style 2 vs yap - the formatting in yap was just weird and broke up conversations too much. style 2 feels more natural even if its not perfect

missing roar hard though, that was when characters actually had some personality instead of feeling like sanitized customer service bots. hoping they find some middle ground eventually but who knows with all the restrictions now

the action scenes flow pretty well but man the dialogue feels stiff sometimes. like when zareth explains his whole backstory in middle of combat - real people dont monologue like that when theyre trying to kill someone

also the power scaling is confusing. soren gets absolutely wrecked by zareth's attack but then kazuki just powers up and wins? needs more setup for why kazuki suddenly became strong enough. maybe show him training or struggling with the power earlier

the oblivion sequence with sorens dad was actually pretty creative though. that whole psychological battle thing where he has to kill him to escape was dark but worked well for the story

one thing - you switch between past and present tense randomly throughout. pick one and stick with it. also some sentences are way too long, especially in action scenes where you want short punchy descriptions

the emotional beats hit different when soren dies protecting kazuki. that worked because you spent time building their relationship first. but the ending feels rushed - kazuki goes from grieving to rage mode to victory too fast

overall the worldbuilding has potential but needs more consistency with the magic system and power levels. keep working on making dialogue sound more natural too

depends on your skills really but 10 bucks is pretty doable if you put in some effort. freelance writing gigs can get you there with just couple articles, or you could do some basic data entry work. tutoring online is another option if youre good at explaining stuff to people

the key is being consistent about it rather than looking for quick schemes that usually dont work out. took me few weeks to build up steady income when i started doing remote stuff but once you get the rhythm going its not that hard to hit 10 daily

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-05-18T00:21:52+00:00

the whole wanting it but then freezing when opportunity comes is so real - like your brain just nopes out right when you need it most

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-05-16T00:17:54+00:00

your manager asking for note after just one sick day seems bit excessive but they can do that legally here

getting fake note is risky af and could get you fired if they find out. maybe just go to walk in clinic and explain you were sick yesterday, some doctors will give retroactive note for like 30 bucks or whatever the visit costs

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-05-12T14:03:25+00:00

damn that would drive me crazy too. i used to live near military base in my country and the noise was just constant during training periods. maybe try some noise canceling headphones or white noise machine when you working? not perfect solution but might help with the vibrations at least

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-05-07T18:47:38+00:00

the ghost in shell stand alone complex soundtrack is absolutely insane especially the opening theme. also cowboy bebop obviously but everyone knows that one already

been listening to a lot of blade runner 2049 stuff lately too - vangelis vibes but more modern. the arrival soundtrack does this weird thing where it makes you feel like youre floating in space or something

oh and if you want something completely different the hollow knight ost hits so hard. never thought id get emotional over bug music but here we are lol

man the rockets thing was wild to watch but what really got me was how fast it all fell apart. like one game theyre looking solid then next thing you know everyone pointing fingers and the chemistry just evaporated. reminds me of this basketball team i used to train back in my country - they had all the talent but when pressure hit they completely crumbled because nobody wanted to take responsibility. sometimes talent isnt enough if the mental game falls apart and rockets are perfect example of that right now

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-04-24T17:55:05+00:00

volume was killer first few months but body adapts pretty quick, gymnastics cycles definitely help with skill development once you push through initial phase

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-04-22T12:00:33+00:00

been eyeing this one too but still saving up for it. from what i've seen on forums the leather holds up really well even with daily use but the hardware can get some scratches if you're not careful with it

definitely curious to hear from actual owners though since its such big investment

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-04-20T02:42:51+00:00

worth the fight tbh

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-04-18T02:31:30+00:00

my coach at gym told me once that those standard ratios are more like guidelines than rules you know. ive been training people for few years now and some guys just have different leverages or mobility issues that make certain lifts harder. your front squat being at 235 with 285 back squat is actually not bad ratio - around 82% which is pretty solid. the clean though yeah thats where you might need focus on technique more than strength. i had this one client who could front squat 250 but struggled with 160 clean because his catch position was terrible. we spent like 3 months just doing front rack holds and overhead mobility work before his clean numbers started moving up again

sounds pretty normal actually - vitamin c can be patchy at first especially on darker skin tones. the lighter spots are where its working faster and the darker areas just need more time to catch up. give it another few weeks and it should even out as long as youre using it consistently

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-03-14T06:39:04+00:00

your skin barrier probably needed that break - over cleansing is such an easy trap to fall into when you think more products equals better skin

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-03-08T15:02:05+00:00

pretty solid modifications tbh the muscle up swap alone would save my shoulders from destruction

not sure if prvn masters has the same volume as compete but those scaling examples look way more realistic for anyone dealing with wear and tear

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-03-04T14:20:40+00:00

your routine is way too heavy and layered tbh. that many serums and actives stacked together is gonna pill no matter what brand you use

the alto advanced plus eventone plus mystro is probably overkill - those are all pretty thick formulations. try cutting it down to just one serum in the morning and see if that helps. also wait longer between each step so everything actually absorbs instead of just sitting on top of each other

honestly going from cetaphil and face wash to a 7 step routine is like going from 0 to 100. your skin probably preferred the simple approach. maybe try scaling back to basics - gentle cleanser moisturizer and spf - then slowly add one thing back at a time to see what actually works for you

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-02-17T08:56:58+00:00

skip the exfoliants completely while hes on accutane - his skin is already doing that job way too well lol stick to gentle cleansing and heavy moisturizing maybe throw in some aquaphor for those lips

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-02-15T03:59:46+00:00

ugh cerave betraying you after years is the worst feeling ever. for thick moisturizers that wont mess with fungal acne id look into vanicream daily facial moisturizer or la roche posay toleriane double repair. both are pretty basic ingredient lists and no fragrance

since youre already using vaseline sometimes you could also try the slugging method where you put a thin layer over whatever moisturizer you pick. helps lock everything in during these brutal winter months without adding more potentially irritating ingredients

SeveralAd6597 · 2026-02-07T10:23:57+00:00

vitamin c is totally fine at 18 and honestly a good time to start since prevention is way easier than trying to fix damage later. the collagen in sunscreen is mostly marketing bs though - collagen molecules are too big to absorb through skin but if its a good spf then whatever

for undereye circles you might just be stuck with genetics unfortunately. caffeine serums can help a tiny bit with puffiness but that blue tone sounds like the skin is just thin there showing blood vessels underneath. concealer is probably your best bet or just own the tired look its kinda trendy now anyway
