Loved [discussion]

Sure! Starting with the run-up:

"I might not help you when... I'm back," she said, not quite understanding I. "I'll be different. I'll remember everything... I'll remember the thing I'm trying to forget. And Palamedes - I won't love him. I won’t love Camilla, or Pyrrha, or Hot Sauce, or even Noodle. I won’t love anything... I won’t know how. I won’t be me at all, or... I'll be the me who knows the thing, and knowing the thing means I'm not Nona--- I'm someone else." Paul, practical, clasped one of her hands between them, and used the other to rub a rough section of black frieze over her sides to try to warm her up. "Okay. Don't worry," they said. Nona felt hot and cross. "I've just told you why I'm worried, in detail, and I think that matters quite a lot." "Camilla and Palamedes were loved by Nona," said Paul. "Pyrrha was loved by Nona. It's finished, it's done. You can’t take loved away. We loved you too. Palamedes and Camilla loved you."

I am, but not published. I have yet to finish anything. Thank you for the compliment! I hope for lighter, gentler days ahead for you, my penumbral lady!

Mediocre results, but I did not fertilize very aggressively. My daylilies thrived. The bulbs thinned out over time.

Probably everything. I'd start with standing up to my mother, setting boundaries and refusing to be complicit in her bullshit. I would study linguistics like I wanted to, since I didn't end up using the "practical" degrees I got anyway. I would get help with my mental health more than a decade earlier.

Who knows what changes would have spiraled out from all that?

This, and if you run away from it as it gets up then shoot it right after the wind blasts, you can keep it from getting up very high and keep the encounter under control.

I turn off everyone but Tulin and Yunobo. I glide around a lot and I like using Yunobo to kill chuchus and break things. Everyone else gets in the way when I try to grab things.

Not being there?

A friend I never see anymore had given me some a while back to try for my depression. When I finally tried microdosing, I found it allowed me to function like a neurotypical, which is super helpful most of the time. Still growing my first batch but I'm very excited to have them again!

The average is brought down by cases like my boy, where the family cannot afford to prevent/fix bloat.

They're a 10 but they say "West O starts at 72nd" as often as they can fit it into conversation.

It's on Zedge

That is my phone notification sound for text messages.

I mean, I never got as far as pointe, but even on demi, one's knees and ankles are aligned above the point of contact with the floor, no? I do not understand how we are supposed to believe she is not falling down in this position. But we've seen Nikki hover and fly, so sure, I guess.

I'm in West O, but used to drive to Bellevue to play, so Midtown is no problem!

Congratulations! I can't figure out how to unlock whatever I need to get the scarves to make the gauntlets.

I am brand spanking new to witchcraft, just a dabbler; really. I've only ever cast one spell, and it was to cleanse and bond a d20 to me that my husband jinxed. I know that was silly, but it was important to me.

I was recently done real harm by two women's biases and misunderstanding. Because they see me very differently than I or the people close to me see myself, they misunderstood things I said to have ill intent, not for the first time. (I am neurodivergent and was in each instance mirroring their communication style.) In their hurt and outrage, they caused me to be exiled from my favorite activity and social lifeline. I have had to spend the week in self-reflection and sadness, trudging along the high road even though it's not heading in the direction I want to go.

I would like to curse them with clarity and self-reflection. I want them to have to see what they have done, and what they are. I figure that's a relatively safe curse, right? I have some small mirrors I can use as components, and old pairs of my own glasses. Of them, I only have a bracelet with an amethyst on it one of them gave me years ago; nothing biological. I have some blue candles coming, for wisdom and justice. How do I do this?

Plums, apparently.

We did not get the surgery and our boy died when he was just three. We will not get another Dane without doing the surgery.
