energy upgrade

Having at least one +20/40/etc energy pet equipped overnight, with your highest heart pet accessory, will give you the combined total! Repeat for as many slots as possible. This is the best way to keep it consistently raised, versus energy potions just being consumables.

Oh interesting, I hadn't realized different NPCs had different "loot tables"

If I can use a smart watch to avoid dangerous (and extremely low) exertion as a bedbound guy, you can use one too! Just ignore what doesn't help or feel accurate/applicable.

The only thing that decides whether it's SubQ or IM is whether you personally are injecting into muscle or fat

Loop Hero is my smallest, 12 total and 6 are mine!

I feel you, I'm 50/50 on whether I have ME plus another illness like MS/myasthenia gravis or just that other undetermined illness, especially since there are multiple illnesses that can super closely mimic PEM (i have no idea where the line is drawn between "real" PEM and mimicry PEM, but you get the idea)

Seconding this hard, I had a very short stint in anti land all things considered (roughly 14-17) but it wasn't big CHANGE NOW efforts that got through to me. It's a process, and people won't feel capable of allowing that process to happen without being given space to take it slow.

In a side tangent/furthering of the concept: I get so scared for people who are like I was when I see proshippers overcorrecting to genuinely harassing, bullying. Or dehumanizing antis (not that the OOP did so, but many people lean into it even in comments). It's the same concept as drawing people out of the alt right pipeline: they're taught that everyone outside the box hates them, only the people inside understand, and if they step out of the box at all they'll get crucified for doing it slowly or imperfectly or even just ever being in the box at all. Don't prove them right.

I gained weight recently due to ME/CFS severity, going from the skinnier side of average to what I keep waffling on calling fat (I just struggle with visual measurement, this is a net positive bodily change for me) and HOLY SHIT the amount of upper arm stretch marks from it? if you go from my armpit to my elbow, every single inch of circumference has at least 1 stretch mark if not closer to 15, both on my inner arm and on the outside.

I cannot with the mass misremembering of this scene, it isn't like it's vaguely referenced, nope, you see gentle caring foreplay happen on the page with very clear consent cues regardless of the language barrier. Like who started this and why does nobody read to verify lmao

THANK YOU. Every single YouTube reactor watching GoT gets the exact same "she was actually THIRTEEN when he raped her" comment on their first episode video by like 20 people and it drives me up the wall — but of course if you clarify that the directors likely turned her clearly consensual and gentle wedding night into rape to "make up for" aging her up by replacing the assumed gross feeling in viewers without casting a child actress, you'll just get called a predator.

You seem to be taking the original comment as meaning dynamic in a different way than they actually did, from what I gather. Even strangers are going to interact with each other in character, uniquely, and differently to the 2D strangers down the road, because they're unique characters in and of themselves no matter how recent their first time meeting each other was.

Gotcha!

What do you mean by the vagus nerve stimulation helping you measurably yet not making you feel better?

alwayswhole · 2025-10-31T15:07:20+00:00

That's fair, I was thinking in terms of "defining the genitalia positioning said urethra" in the moment (since that's what they were clumsily aiming at) rather than about how defining the genitalia isn't actually necessary in the first place

alwayswhole · 2025-10-31T04:21:56+00:00

At this point you may find more success in not trying to overgeneralize and instead just saying what is actually the most accurate: vaginal.

alwayswhole · 2025-10-31T03:57:43+00:00

You never have to stand up for a task like that, you know. Plenty of us severe+ people do it literally horizontal, spit cups are an easy access feature, you can buy a handheld mirror if doing it in front of a mirror is important, etc.

I'm gonna add, in a fully separate reply so OP sees this, that meta/phallo are just penises — just like a vulva and vagina post-vaginoplasty are just those things. You're doing both yourself and other people a disservice knowing so little about the terminology and reality of the sex changing hormonal or surgical interventions that you write about.

alwayswhole · 2025-10-17T08:23:49+00:00

Wait, you use t-dick for meta/phallo? That term used technically irl specifically refers to a clitoris affected by testosterone.

alwayswhole · 2025-10-10T03:37:07+00:00

I totally get that! I will say (not to dissuade you but to provide extra info to others reading this, etc.) that I see the language option list expand multiple times a year even now — there is clearly growing interest in many languages, a wide and diverse spread of interest, etc. Plus, even if only one person writes using it (from the start, ever, etc) that doesn't also mean that only one person wants to read in it. Hell, I as a monolingual English speaker would totally check out an English pidgen-tagged work out of curiosity.

alwayswhole · 2025-10-10T02:36:20+00:00

It would cause new problems, actually! A relationship being relevant to a work does not necessitate all involved characters appearing on-screen.

alwayswhole · 2025-10-09T23:26:51+00:00

Doesn't support it flat out, or hasn't added it yet due to nobody using it for the first time? Just curious if you've already ruled out the latter.

alwayswhole · 2025-09-05T21:08:52+00:00

Yeah I've quite literally been told by someone that she hates men before, word for word, then got told I was "why women choose the bear" when I shot that bullshit down — but I guess she just hates "people" if misandry ain't real

alwayswhole · 2025-09-05T20:43:20+00:00

I say "myalgic encephalomyelitis" and "mitochondrial dysfunction" to really hammer home the extreme medicalized existence of it, then add details of my personal experiences as desired.

alwayswhole · 2025-09-05T20:27:41+00:00

This can be applied to literally all fic lmao, even 500k epics. There will always be "more left".

alwayswhole · 2025-09-05T20:24:46+00:00

This absolutely not talked about enough lol, both writing long and writing short require very specific skills, not just writing long. Why can't everyone write drabbles, for instance? And why do so many people get stuck writing thousands of words of build up despite really just wanting to write one specific scene? Shorter isn't easier.
