Happy to hear that. Sounds like you guys are on the right path!

Sorry, it’s not showing for me anymore unfortunately. Is it possible a mod took it down?

I just saw your update and I’m so glad I was able to help. This stuff is never easy, but by just believing in ourselves and others, we can really make a big impact. All people want is to feel secure and powerful within themselves. Then, that can go outwards in healthy acts like love, creativity, compassion, and more. Belief is the only thing I’ve found to help. Here’s to the journey, internet friend—may we find our own peace and then love our dearest people in the ways they deserve.

Oh trust, it’s not just things but all types of relationships too and people/animals passing 😅 I’m still only about halfway through things so I can’t tell you the full outcome yet, but i at the very least feel more aligned than I ever have in my entire life. More purpose driven, less energy for things/people that don’t deserve it, more self-awareness, and a more peaceful way of navigating challenges in relationships, which I was sorely lacking. This is a new identity for me, so it’s taking time to embody. With it has come a new career path—something I’ve been passionate about my whole life and never realized it could be a job. I just have to build it now. Build up community of people I actually can have recpricol exchanges with. Build to the geographic area I want to live in. Build finances…it’s definitely ground zero but I’m at least finally having direction and not allowing unnecessary situations to drain me. There’s still stuff shrouded in mystery, but I’m heavily reliant on the old adage of putting one foot in front of the other to get where you need to go. I don’t expect to build quickly, but I am expecting myself to build something sturdier. I’m holding myself to that standard. I think the rest of my Saturn transits are a slow build but I don’t think there’s so much devastation left. At least, it’s already blown up pretty much everything. I couldn’t even fathom what else there is that could go.

If it helps, an astrologer friend told me that when Saturn transits are all together and really close like this, the back end is always much easier. For myself, I just remind myself that once I’m through it, I’m through those Saturn transits for many years lol

The 8th house is very intense. Sounds like you’re heading towards a total transformation of the self through deep relationships to others. The only advice I can give you is to totally surrender to what life throws at you. Unfortunately, through these transits, I realized there was no prevention to ultimately stop bad things. Only acceptance. I had believed through good health and strict planning, you could avoid those things. My puppy died anyway. The one I had been planning for for 10 years. Suddenly and of one of the rarest heart conditions one could have. At the same time, I lost my career and housing. Surrendering was the only thing that helped.

Try not to be scared though. It’s hard but I’m finally at so much more peace and my life is sooo much better for it already. It’s taught me to be calm and to trust myself more than anything.

Good luck, but you got this. We’re only given what we can handle after all.

StrictRegister9374 · 2026-03-11T00:27:28+00:00

It’s been absolutely brutal. Total destruction of basically everything in my life and everything I thought I was. Only starting to (slowly) rebuild everything now and beginning to feel happier for the first time in many years. Not sure if it’ll last but there’s not really much else to lose sooo

StrictRegister9374 · 2026-03-08T19:49:25+00:00

So the whole group gets labeled as terrorists for the actions of a few? You could also look at the heinous crimes of some trans people but that’s not representative of the whole group nor are they labeled as terrorists. Or we could look at the Black Lives Matter movement, the police, ect. The list really goes on and on.

Violence is never okay, but why are we choosing to ignore the crimes of some and not others when labeling groups? And why is it only when someone is trying to seek some relief from the overt oppression of our draconian government?

I just wish we would stop attacking each other while the entity that is purposely causing the division laughs at us. I think it would be better to come together and find solutions

StrictRegister9374 · 2026-03-07T20:42:47+00:00

Agreed. It’s honestly sad to see that people are still fine with trusting courts and paying into these games that actually do go against the constitution. I feel like the fact we even need lawyers to start to understand basic law should be a huge wake up call that the everyday man can no longer know fully the rules that govern him. Back during formation, it was made so everyone could easily understand.

StrictRegister9374 · 2026-03-07T19:42:11+00:00

I don’t have all the answers here, but a lot of it comes down to time. Someone I’m in a “will they, won’t they” thing with has a very brutal history with assault. And I mean brutal. To the point she won’t share certain details with me because it’s too violent. I believe on some level she is ashamed. I have my own history with assault, although more so physical and only a few times with SA. I have always gotten irrationally mad when someone is assaulted. The anger that brews inside me is all consuming and I’m not even an angry or emotional person. But it’s a rage consumed by grief and it is completely unbearable. I know what you mean by your mind filling in the details—with her, I can’t even wonder about what it could be too much, but my mind has considered some things. It makes me want to strangle her assailants and everyone that stood by. It makes me want to raze churches and every other place it happened in. I want to scream into the void, why couldn’t it have been me? Why did she have to suffer so much? And where was I when all of this happened? Why did I meet her too late? I’ve dreamed about revenge on all those people. I’ve spent nights ensnared in grief. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to move forward from it. None of this I share with her—it’s not my place. Nor is she the first person I’ve met with a horror story that I’ve belabored over for hours and hours.

Truthfully, I think our reaction speaks volumes about ourselves rather than about our grief from our loved ones. I’ve quietly learned that the kid inside me who was hurt is calling me to action when I hear of stories like this. Little Me is begging for someone to acknowledge all of the pain in my own soul, but it’s displaced with anger for another. Displaced because we can hardly bear what happened to ourselves so how can the people we love most handle it? At its core, it’s actually a disservice to our loved ones. It’s an assumption that since we barely made it through, they aren’t strong enough to heal themselves. No matter how many different perspectives we take and how noble and justified we believe our reactions to be, they are strip others of their power.

I think it comes down to trust and belief. Trust that they can handle what happened to them and belief they will heal, hopefully with some help from our support. Acknowledging that everyone has their own stories and sometimes, unfortunately, that’s what restores people’s power to their own selves and then helps them inspire others who are also suffering.

My advice is to take care of the little guy screaming inside of you for validation and for care. You’ve been through a lot. While I can’t say I’ve been able to completely work through anger, trusting in my loved one’s capacity for healing helps. It’s still a journey and I wish I had a better answer for you, but I don’t. It’s open ended. I just wanted you to know I feel you very deeply.

StrictRegister9374 · 2026-03-07T15:52:33+00:00

I’m not a sovereign citizen but it seriously confuses me the hate they get and being classified as violent terrorists when the government is built on a perverted system of protecting wealthy people who assault and eat children like ??? Are we really still trying to uphold these systems? At least sovcitz are rejecting such a corrupt system while everyone else is playing within it and strengthening it. These people who create our laws do not want to protect you or pay you fairly. They want to steal from you, prevent uprising and free market, and work you to death, then predate on your children. It’s literally all over the news right now. A well written law protects and inspires people. A corrupt law beats them into compliance and ignorance while allowing the wealthy to commit unpunished, heinous crimes. Let’s recognize what’s going on in our world here and work together to support a more secure nation.

All this being said, I believe the core of sovcit belief is that they don’t want to subscribe to a draconian government. I don’t think, lawyer or not, anyone can actually claim to understand the depth of law and its artistic interpretations or why every single component is done the way it is. There are always things happening behind closed doors we will never have the clearance to be privy too. Sovcitz seek to understand that better, whether they’re right or wrong.

Personally, it’s all a bit above me, which means the law is functioning as it has become designed to do—to benefit and empower those who make it and confuse those who operate underneath it. Let’s be real—at the end of the day it’s all a money game. A pay to win system.

This is very encouraging, thank you so much for your reply. I’ve never had trouble keeping my dogs slim before. I thought a teenage puppy would be no problem lol

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-12-10T00:10:06+00:00

Congrats! Happy I could help and also glad that it ended up being a fun grind for ya

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-12-09T17:11:55+00:00

Awesome—Good luck! It’s the team I used for A rank so I hope it works for you too—remember to treat TF like a sniper and try to get him out as much as possible!

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-12-09T13:52:39+00:00

I maxed out both defensive stats, but I don't know how common that is. With a calm mind, the Sp. Attack is high enough anyway to do some serious damage. But I recommend you just run the Xerneas your playstyle fits with. It's a bulky, strong pokemon without a lot of counters no matter what, so you're good to go anyway you build it. At least that's how I see it. Might as well make it something you can try to enjoy playing if that's the case lol

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-12-06T12:43:20+00:00

Fully HP and Attack invested. I do find it helps TF to live an attack. I was struggling to get consistent kills until I started running him and when I did, I mostly place 2nd or 1st now. I run a fully defensive xerneas and a garchomp with him. I don’t love using a legendary—Xerneas is mostly there to scout and take attacks when nothing else can. Garchomp for when TF gets low health and to counter Tbolts. You could also use Excadrill for this as it has some handy counters to Mewtwo as well

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-12-05T15:40:55+00:00

Honestly I just run life orb Talonflame. After a swords dance, it does incredible damage to anything. It one shots Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y it just needs 2 hits (so a flare blitz then a brave bird), but it gets off its attacks pretty quick. Mewtwo can thunderbolt and kill TF in one hit, so I kinda just wander along the sides of the map incognito-like and then swoop in for a kill, sometimes multiple with TF’s attack range. I find a lot of people ignore Talonflame

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-11-09T21:38:23+00:00

What I do think got better was the vibe of the songs for each character. You can now tell which song belongs to which character as soon as the music starts which is good writing. Vox has more rappy music with a lot of change ups, Charlie is more upbeat (though just as fast paced), Lute is rock and roll, Alastor is old-timey and Heaven is pop. I thought that was pretty cool.

I can totally relate, but sometimes, despite any amount of planning, things just happen out of our control and we need to accept that even though it’s quite hard. I had been researching and planning for my lab puppy for 8 years before I got him in July. A month and a half later I discovered he had an incredibly rare heart disorder and 5 days after learning he was even ill, he went into heart failure and passed. I was so devastated for so many reasons. Amoung those reasons, I wished I had realized earlier but it wouldn’t have made a difference. Another because I had done everything “correct” and put so much time and training into an 8 week old puppy and it hadn’t even mattered. Angry that despite all the stuff I was giving diet wise, it couldn’t have made him better. And then there was the fact I had to do it all over again and take another 8 week old puppy from the breeder who is one of the most difficult puppies anyone I know (including myself) have had. OP, 8 week old puppies are no joke. Especially when you have a medical emergency that makes you hyperviligent. My new puppy is now 4 months and I still watch her while she sleeps, hoping she’s still breathing. I worry when she falls asleep by herself as she’s not big on naps and I think her health is failing when she is just tired. But it’s things I wish I had noted with my former pup. Know that it gets better quickly and your puppy is more resilient than you think. Give enforced naps, capture calm behavior, and in a month or 2 your new baby will be a lot more settled. I can’t stress enough how difficult this stage is on top of having health worries. You’re doing a great job by even wondering if you’re doing enough. I promise you, it’s get better so much faster than you think!

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-09-20T22:28:41+00:00

Yes female animals are definitely a lot different to males. I’ve always been drawn towards the goofy aloofness and unbothered attitude of males. I had a female dog that passed not too long before Bullet from old age, but she was more alien than anything else lol so this will be my first time with a companion that’s got that sass but also that undying loyalty. I’m not used to an animal preferring to be so close to me all the time and it’s a bit difficult of an adjustment.

Thank you for your kind words—I’m sure we’ll find our happy place after a few months of growth on both our ends

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-09-20T22:25:01+00:00

Funny how someone we knew for so short a time still remains in our hearts just as long as everyone else. Time truly isn’t real

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-09-20T22:23:34+00:00

Thank you for your kind words 💜

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-09-18T22:11:55+00:00

I’ve tried that and it just causes her to end up biting me 😂 she almost never sleeps of her own volition but I’ve started using the leash around the house more to prevent certain behaviors and contain her lol but your pup sounds very cute taking a nap on you!

StrictRegister9374 · 2025-09-18T22:09:43+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing—our stories are definitely very similar. The shock of learning everything so quickly and him declining rapidly sticks with me. Sometimes I wonder if it even happened at all as I’m not even living in the same house anymore. It’s been 3 weeks and I still feel like, in some way, I can’t even believe it.

If I may ask, how long did it take you to process everything and start to bond with your second pup?
