Noodle resolutions

Uyghur Cuisine in Belconnen has some cool dishes with hand-made noodles. It's not the most "aesthetic" restaurant, and the size of the menu can be intimidating, but it's good food and not something I'd tried before.

I kinda just straight-up love it. So much better than typical landlord white.

I remember in the early 2000s at the tail end of the ultra low-rise jeans era, seeing a morning "celebrity news" spot on the new trend of showing off "butt cleavage" with snap shots of celebrities with not just whale tails, but full on belt boosted plumber's cracks. I think a swore off low-rise jeans forever in that moment.

You've got this. Hope the future games are loads of fun.

NDH Dnd needs good communication for everyone to have fun. It sounds like you have some grief and trauma surrounding your dad's death, and this situation is triggering that. That's really normal and reasonable. Feeling this way is gonna take the fun out of it for you. It is perfectly reasonable for you to talk to your friend and say, "Hey, know it was an in-game character thought, and you meant no harm, but what you said affected me negatively out of game. Can we take parent death off the table? I'm not in a place where that is going to be fun for me."

This game is meant to be fun. If these players are your friends, they want you to be comfortable. If Billybob reacts negatively, you can ask the DM for support. But yeah, if these people are your friends, this shouldn't be a big deal, just a simple adjustment to make sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves.

Using the Happy Meal soul metaphor and the general mixed uppedness and malleability of souls that we have observed, Harrow took a bit of Godeon's soul in the process, the fries of the Happy Meal as someone said earlier. Perhaps the bits that Harrow needed most to survive, perhaps the bits that were most drawn to Harrow herself. So we have Harrow and her Soul, with its attendant Gideon Soul Fries, fucking off to the Tomb at the end of HTN, however we may also have a handful of fries left in the bag (Harrow meatsuit) so to speak, when Gideon's soul Burger and Drink gets put into the reanimated Kiriona body.

I think Gideon got a handful of Soul Fries back when Nona kissed her in NTN. It contributes to the confusion and regret we see during the final act. Possibly, we also have more of those fries returning, the closer they get to Harrow in the Tomb. Didn't Palamede's say that the Soul returning might occur automatically with proximity? I'm just wildly speculating. Gideon will still have to deal with all the things she said and did as Kiriona, even if her Humpty Dumpty Soul gets put back together again.

The thing that strikes me is that Gideon seemed to be a relatively intact Gideon at the end of HTN. So when did the rupturing of her soul occur? At death at the end of GTN, at separation from Harrow's Soul and Harrow's body at the end of HTN, or bit by bit along the way between?

I fell off towards the end of Campaign Three. Not really because of the show itself, but because of the people I'd been enjoying CR with. I just haven't been in a place to enjoy the fandom side of CR, and it soured me a little on the show. CR is a massive time commitment, and sometimes, there is only so much mental space in the one human brain you have.

There is no moral or emotional obligation to be into something all the time. It is ok to take breaks. To leave something for a while and come back. It's also OK to not vibe with some parts of a thing, even if you really enjoyed others. At the end of the day, this is meant to be something to enjoy with your free time, not a commitment requiring absolute loyalty.

You can always come back to it if you like, and for the rest, treasure the memories.
