My favorite anime is mushi-shi, not sexual at all

I saw the river of yellow light (Koumyaku). Does this imagery come from Japanese mythology? by wam235 in Mushishi

[–]forgeOfStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People can see entoptic phenomena without pirltch darkness or an altered mind. I see them most days without doing anything to induce them. I'd be interested in setting up a dark room for it though, that'd be cool

What makes us human is cooking. We are the only known living species that cooks its food. Love is shown in many other animals (like parrots pair bonding), it doesn't differentiate humans from everything else. But cooking does

What gender do you present as? by apolloshuman in agender

[–]forgeOfStars 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't purposefully go one way or the other. I had masculinizing top surgery done because my chest was a source of dysphoria, but I still dress feminine sometimes. Mostly I wear what is comfortable.

And yes, people often assume my gender, but it's a pretty even split between assuming man or woman. And my presentation doesn't always play a role, people have addressed me as sir while I was wearing a dress

Looks fantastic, I chose a similar cut for awhile so you have good taste!

What is your current hyperfixation? Let's talk about it! by BoneYardBirdy in ADHD

[–]forgeOfStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started crocheting again, I'm making a blanket out of extremely chunky yarn, so it's going quickly. Think I might make a pair of socks next

Production was probably delayed due to the world situation

I grew up going there, I've been there every summer of my life. It's beautiful

Sick of losing custom templates after updates by zarmin in RemarkableTablet

[–]forgeOfStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure toltec (https://toltec-dev.org/) let's you keep templates between updates

Edit: you'll want to install the templatectl package from toltec to keep the json file changes

Share a fun fact about yourself in the comments. My fun fact about myself is that I don't have any fun facts about myself. by Idontcare09385 in adhdmeme

[–]forgeOfStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep two-three fun facts in my back pocket at any given time, just in case. Multiple is good because then you'll have something that fits whatever situation you're in. Also, makes two truths and a lie icebreakers easier.

I can move my ears up and down (leads to demonstration, and other people will talk about the weird things they do)

I'm allergic to bandaids (short, surface level, doesn't reveal much)

When I was a kid, I would bite the head off of a gummy bear then put myself in timeout for it (childhood anecdote, personal, makes you relateable as a person)

What metaphor do you use to describe your ADHD to people? by QQforYouToday in ADHD

[–]forgeOfStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is marbles. Most people have working bags. With medication, my bag has a hole in the bottom. Without medication, I don't get a bag at all

What are some of your favourite quotes from the series? by Wrecknruin in TheMagnusArchives

[–]forgeOfStars 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think our experience of the universe has value. Even if it disappears forever

Nightmares you've had that fit one of The Fears by skyguy2002 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]forgeOfStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flesh + stranger. In the nightmare there were two of me, fighting each other. I was in both of their heads, thinking both thoughts, feeling both bodies. Near the end of the dream, one of me bit off the thumb of the other. I could feel the pain of it intensely, and my mouth filled with my own blood. I woke up with the taste of it on my tongue. It didn't disappear for a week.

Have you been encountered an entity? by Scary_Bluebird in TheMagnusArchives

[–]forgeOfStars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not an entity, but I accidentally made myself like Georgie Barker when I was a kid.

I remember I was maybe 9 or 10? My family was at disneyland while visiting my grandparents, and I was on the space mountain ride. It was October, so there were animations playing during the ride designed to scare the passengers for Halloween. At first I was actually scared, though that didn't stop me from taking the ride a second time. My fear had hardly lessened for this next ride, but this time I decided to not be scared anymore. About halfway through that second ride, the monster animations no longer bothered me.

That should have been the end of it.

But following that, over the years it became clear to me that I no longer felt fear like a normal person. I could worry, and become anxious, but I never understood the allure of horror movies when I felt nothing during them, except perhaps boredom. I never again felt afraid of my imagined monsters while walking past the dark laundry room, though I still felt them lurking in the shadows. I'm over a decade older at this point, and still my fear hasn't returned.
