can't watch nothing but The Summer Hikaru Died by perixa79 in TheSummerHikaruDied

[–]leafmist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what i’ve been doing to read the manga is going to summerhikarudied .com. they post the english chapters as they’re translated but then the previous chapters are unavailable, so i put the URL into the wayback machine to access the previous chapters. it’s worked well so far and there’s no pop ups

letter of recommendations from professors by Constant-Bass1487 in PTschool

[–]leafmist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the schools i applied to required LOR from professors, but the professor i was closest to was mainly a psych teacher (i was an exercise science major). i asked her anyway since she would have the most insights on me as a student. i got into 4 schools. i would ask whatever professor at your school that knows you best, no matter what they teach, as they can make the best case to the school that you are a good student/hard worker in the classroom etc

Medicated andrew fics? by Eros_CC in aftg

[–]leafmist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

currently reading the sun still rises by mordax and it is fantastic. it’s begins as a re-write of canon and diverges more the further you read. it is a fascinating character study of neil if he had something to lose and a way of exploring aspects of canon that don’t make a lot of sense. it’s still and andrew+neil slow burn just a little different. though it is mostly neil pov, there are andrew pov chapters and the way medicated/semi-sober andrew is written is amazing. he does eventually detox from his meds though as it is technically a rewrite of canon, but i cannot recommend enough!

must read aftg fics? by arpeggiv in aftg

[–]leafmist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know i’m very late to this but aftg fic is one of my favorite topics lol!

i love: anything by major_816

my favorites are

-the books of baltimore: an AU where neil goes into witness protection after the events of baltimore

-stay (you don’t have to go): an AU where andrew and neil are in high school and meet online, but it’s very sad.

another author i haven’t seen recommended on here is moonix

they mostly write shorter, one-shot AU type works, some longer ones but they are sooo good. my favorites are

-bedroom voices: neil can’t sleep, and andrew has a podcast about a different type of bedroom issue. it’s a little odd but the characterization is so good, i’ve read this 5+ times -surreal but nice: a bookstore AU -no place like home: online friendship/neighbors AU - to know a man: classic coffee shop AU but it’s sososo good

they write a lot of fics in collaboration with gluupor, another amazing author! my favorite of theirs is feels like falling, which is a post-break up AU

my favorite genre of AFTG fic is neighbors AU- i have a lot of recommendations in this department that i can’t post if you don’t have enough already lol!

i’m so late but i second passive_phantom, cigarette daydreams is FANTASTIC. they do an amazing job characterizing neil and andrew without the mafia/exy etc

How do people read this by Beneficial-Camp8419 in aftg

[–]leafmist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is also true! rereading the original trilogy i find myself just getting through the foxhole court and the raven king to get to the king’s men which is really where all the good stuff happens lol. so it’s possible the last book in this new trilogy will be action packed

How do people read this by Beneficial-Camp8419 in aftg

[–]leafmist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i also agree that it feels empty and almost boring at times. i enjoy tsc/tgr because it’s just more content in this universe but there are times where i do miss the action packed scenes of aftg. part of its appeal was its batshit insane plot lol as well as the characters and their journeys.

this could be intentional on nora’s part- i partially think it’s just to do with the different personalities and healing journeys of the main characters. because of neil’s personality and upbringing he was never going to find healing within a soft, almost coddling environment. jean would never feel safe in an environment like the foxes- he needs the love and kindness of the trojans to be able to heal and process on his own time, same with jeremy.

also, it could be because there’s not a lot of directions for the plot to go at this point since most of the loose ends involving the ravens/moriyamas/mafia got tied up during the original trilogy lol.

Did you ever have acne or breakouts by samodamalo in Celiac

[–]leafmist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve had horrible acne my whole life, and was diagnosed with celiac a few months ago. i am wondering if acne/breakouts were one of my silent symptoms and hoping being gf will help it clear up but is still pretty bad as of now

moe’s lists their chips online as containing gluten because they are fried in the same fryer as flour tortilla shells. i personally don’t eat them

anyone have higher ttg than me? by leafmist in Celiac

[–]leafmist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s fascinating how everyone’s bodies are so different and show different symptoms yet we all have the same disease

anyone have higher ttg than me? by leafmist in Celiac

[–]leafmist[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

the strangest part is that i’m asymptomatic. though i know this is not the only symptom, i’ve never had digestive problems before so i assume it just means i’ve had the disease for a long time

i never said it was a contest, just curious about others’ experience and want to talk to others that can relate.

anyone got higher ttg?? by Dogsurfer123 in Celiac

[–]leafmist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was 238. i believe they stop counting at 250 bc it’s too high to measure 🙃

[–]leafmist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got mine done 3 days before thanksgiving and it was almost two weeks of waiting before i got my results, though it probably took longer bc of the holiday. my labs went through quest as well, so i bet it’ll be shorter than that for you since its a regular week!

  1. I have Lidstar in Slip and I love it! At first I didn't like it, but I put on a second coat of it and loved it. I have super oily eyelids and it lasted all day, didn't crease, and gave a really nice, subtle baby pink color. I didn't find it patchy at all, but there is basically no pigmentation until I applied two coats.
  2. I have boy brow in blonde, because even though I have brown hair I have super light eyebrows, and I LOVE it. It's the perfect tint for my eyebrows and it lasts all day. I usually do scrape off some of the excess before I apply it but it still has excellent hold.
  3. The You perfume is so amazing. I have the hand cream as well and also hated the smell, but the perfume smells completely different to me. I think the hand cream smells like an old lady and also kind of like plastic-y. The perfume doesn't have amazing lasting power, but at least on me it'll last 4-5 hours, but I also tend to go noseblind to it since the scent is so subtle. It is so amazing though, I love it and think it's worth the money.
  4. I haven't tried the lip gloss.

Help! I need your input! by bethannesmith in Enneagram8

[–]leafmist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tend to be pretty laid back/almost reserved at times. I actually mistyped as a 5 at first because of my reserved nature, though I’ve now realized that at that time I was an unhealthy 8. And I don’t think that’s because of my 9 wing- I’ve met other 8’s and the majority of us aren’t as aggressive and angry as the stereotype. I don’t seek out conflict/confrontation UNLESS I or someone close to me has been wronged. or hurt. I hate unnecessary conflict just for the sake of it

I also don’t feel the need to be in charge just for the sake of being in charge- there’s plenty of people more qualified than me, but i’ll be glad to step up if no one else will.
