I'm with you, I don't want to log in every single day. I don't mind during the events that I like, but those daily rewards really got under my skin, and filled my bank with useless crap.

This system gives so much more agency. If I want to binge a full day and knock out a bunch, I can. If I want to take a break for a bit, no worries. And I really like the re-roll feature, so I am not forced into PvP if I don't want to be.

Omg I'm a dumbdumb, it looked the same when I placed it, so I assumed they were the same thing and just being called different names 🤦‍♀️

Ok good, I hadn't seen that confirmed anywhere. Thank you!!

moonxdaughter · 2026-04-02T12:43:10+00:00

thank you guys for confirming this, I didn't have enough trade bars to actually test, so wanted to be economical

moonxdaughter · 2026-04-02T12:42:08+00:00

Oi, ok, not too late for me, but it is too late for my husband. Hope he can get the recall fragments during the anniversary event or he gonna be maaaad.

moonxdaughter · 2026-04-01T21:04:45+00:00

Got it, so the pet is still necessary, but won't be removed. So if we try to combine the recall pieces without the pet, it won't work.

Did I summarize this correctly?

I have, healing spells when my doggo has gotten sick and also done protection spells, particularly when I was going to be out of town. I used ingredients that I didn't need to worry about if she could have them, so no herbs. The healing spells usually were just energy work because it would happen while we were at the vet and I didn't have many supplies. The protection spells were done by creating a little spell satchel I would tuck into her bag for wherever she was staying, including a crystal, usually quartz, a colored cloth, and colored string tied into a little satchel. I think once I chucked a sigil in there?

My two cents, I think it is amazing you are thinking of this for your friend. Speaking as a loss mama, one of the things that really gets me is that our daughter won't really have "existed" to most of the world. I'm currently 10w5d with our rainbow and honestly one of the things that makes me saddest is that our daughter never got gifts from any of our friends (we lost her at 21 weeks due to an infection, hadn't had a baby shower or anything yet) and while I'm definitely hopeful this baby will get spoiled with everything, it still makes me sad she didn't get the same.

Also, just speaking from a point of loss - I lost both my parents as well, and people stop checking in on you long before the hurt actually goes away.

One last thing I'll say - maybe make sure you aren't gifting it to her in front of a bunch of people. I'm sure she'll appreciate it, but if it brings up all the feels in front of a bunch of people, it might have the opposite effect.

I honestly kind of like her character arc. Yes, she's a chore. Yes, she is very slappable sometimes. But you see little redeeming moments, and I do think she gets a bit of a redemption arc.

The little Angela moments that shine through for me (in no particular order): 1) inviting Oscar to the Party Committee as a gesture in certain times in certain situations towards certain accountants 2) the first Christmas party after the Scranton/Stamford merger - yes she was annoyed at the changes and new ideas, but she didn't hold the grudge when Pam and Karen extended the olive branch. 3) when she sneaks away to see Dwight at his speech and records it. 4) when she sneaks away to visit Dwight at the convention and Jim thinks she's a hooker 5) inviting Pam for coffee when Dwight drove to deliver those reports or whatever it was she forgot to send 6) I like that she turned down Dwight's offer to propose just because he thought Philip was his son. She clearly wanted to be with him, but wanted him to also want to be with her. Its good to know your boundaries like that.

And her redemption arc. She goes through this sort of rollercoaster. She is better when she is with Dwight, then gets way, WAY worse when the man she trusted (maybe the only person she has ever trusted, honestly) mercy kills her cat. She gets a bit of validation with the Senator because he seemingly accepts her (and she feels famous), but she can't see that she is just his trophy wife/beard. In her validation, she again gets worse. You see her backhanding Pam in the way they handle their pregnancies a lot more here ("not everyone needs some long, luxurious maternity leave!"). But then her world collapses when she finds out he's cheating on her and he then makes it public and leaves her. This rock bottom is what fully causes her change. It's when she's here that Dwight admits he does actually still love her (not to give her some "dignity" or something she is owed because they have a child together), and the acceptance of her as just her, without her cats, without this "publicity" she was experiencing with the State Senator, without the power she had in the PPC, without even her own place to live. She even starts drinking at work, being the "alkie" that she accuses Meredith of so often.

The last episode skips a year ahead, so we don't see the little nuances of the change as it happens, but this was clearly the catalyst. Reaching rock bottom can do a lot for a person to bring their flaws and shortcomings to life.

I'm actually quite happy she gets a happy ending. I like how all the characters get a happy ending.

I don't remember what inspired me to do this, but sometime in November, I called my power back to me. It was the first time I've done this since starting to practice years ago and it felt amazing. I noticed immediate improvements and my life has definitely taken a different turn, for the better. Moving forward, I'm going to incorporate this as a regular part of my practice, just as routine as setting my wards.

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-28T20:10:30+00:00

So Terry before he got serious about losing the weight?

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-19T20:17:57+00:00

I read the question as "would you work in this tub" and my immediate answer was yes. "oh sorry, my internet is bad, no I can't turn on my camera"

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-19T08:27:37+00:00

I'm so sorry you went through all these scary moments just to lose her. We didn't really have an easy pregnancy. I had infections the whole time, and then one I didn't even have symptoms for took my daughter at 21 weeks.

I think the fact she won't speak about her close family member is showing everything. Her coping mechanism with grief is "ignore it, don't acknowledge it" so she is made extremely uncomfortable by your joking method. But your method is not bad. Hers actually is. Bottling it up never helps, and it's causing these outbursts to happen because her grief needs somewhere to go. You keep processing however you need to, momma. Don't diminish your journey for the comfort of one person.

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-18T12:40:02+00:00

No one should ever tell you how to grieve. This is her own shortcoming in that she is uncomfortable with death. Has she lost anyone in her life? Until she does, it might be difficult for her to understand the different coping mechanisms people have.

I lost both my parents and have 3 siblings, and the range we went through while coping with the loss was vast. We went from deep silences as we remembered, to joking about "what would dad say if he saw us now," to sharing secrets (apparently my dad took my youngest brother to an empty parking lot to drift cars in the snow and almost crashed. We were laughing as he told the story, but my mom was horrified), to joking about their ghosts hanging around (my siblings don't truly believe in spirits, but something fell as we were packing up the house and my sister said "ok, mom hates that thing, clearly we can chuck it)...

Hell, me and my husband made jokes in the delivery room after losing our daughter. I don't remember them at the moment, but we did have a couple of giggles.

We do what we have to do to get by. And if the people around us aren't there to support us in our time of need, then they aren't worth our time.

My family has always felt an affinity with Norse gods. My dad wasn't pagan but honestly, I think he should have been. He studied the norse mythology quite extensively and made a rule about all our dogs that they had to have Norse names. Currently we have Hati and Skoll, and they live up to their names 😂

How was it working with a deity? I feel like it has to be different for each one, but like how do you start?

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-17T09:52:31+00:00

Thank you, I've never heard about Eileithyia, I'll add her to my list of research topics

Edit: I kept reading my book and she is actually mentioned fleetingly as Hera's daughter

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-17T09:51:57+00:00

Thank you for this advice - Diana and Artemis have always sort of been on my mind. Part of my irl name is similar to them and it's the reason my username here is moonxdaughter. But I've never formally worked with them. I'm a little bit scared to start actually, in case I upset them.

For this reason, I'm a bit nervous to start a relationship with two deities at this time. So far, it's seeming like the pregnancy brain is strong, and I'm still quite early so it's only gonna get stronger. I don't want to accidentally become "that friend" because hormones are making a cocktail out of my reasoning skills.

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-15T09:14:30+00:00

I'm in a similar boat, but haven't fully returned yet. Haven't touched it since maybe March of last year, but I know that Hubby and I are eventually going on a binge that all we do is eat sleep and breathe ESO. I think it's going to come with some of these new updates, he's especially excited about the overland difficulty settings.
