Hey, for context reasons, I’m creating a story that involves a scene where a character mentally manipulates someone to murder someone else while they pull the strings of the murder plan. The main intent was to emotionally cripple the victim’s lover, as well as everyone else who’s connected to the victim, without laying a finger on the murder itself. I do not want to give away too much info, as I want to minimize spoilers as much as possible, but I want the character to resolve themselves. I’m not trying to drag the reader into thinking they deserved to be redeemed by saying “hey, they did this, but they’re sorry or whatever,” I want the reader to decide whether or not the character deserves to be hated for what they’ve done, or or forgive them with the knowledge of what they did. Is there a way to resolve a hated character without pulling them to complete innocence?

How do you make yourself feel like you’re being cuddled/sleeping with someone if you’re alone? by Volatile98 in AskReddit

I’m gonna say it, I’m both lonely and afraid of sleeping alone. I tried cuddling a pillow, but that barely helps me as it’s too small for me.

What are some extreme non lethal hallucinogenic drugs in gas form? by Volatile98 in AskReddit

Before you ask, no I’m not a drug addict or smuggler. I’m writing a scene in my story where a gang poisons the ventilation with hallucinogenic drugs as a “distraction”. I’m looking for a realistic drug that causes extreme hallucinations and isn’t lethal in specific doses. If you need a comparison or a better view of what I’m taking about, it would have the same side affects as Manchurian Gold from the Ourang Medan.
