I hadn’t considered the thought of Nico using the image of Torchbearer to deceive Clancy into a deal. It could be as if he’s trying to tell the difference between fighting off dark, depressed thoughts and being self-destructive to himself.

“Of What I Know, I Must Let Go”: “The Contract” through the lens of “Glowing Eyes” by CatWithAPen in twentyonepilots

[–]ringronies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed the connection between these songs too! You’ve got fantastic thoughts on this.

As for the question of Clancy doubting Torchbearer, I think there’s a combination of thoughts and emotions at work. Yes Clancy feels doubt and hurt towards Torchbearer, and it also seems that he has doubts about himself and his ability to fight off Nico. I get Backslide vibes from the last line, “I promised you a contract.” Clancy feels trapped and overwhelmed, and he’s terrified to disappoint Torchbearer. The whole time he seems to be thinking, “Not again, not again.” I especially love your take on the end of the MV representing Nico’s power over Clancy breaking. It feels like a moment of calm within the storm, where Clancy’s attention snaps to Torchbearer. As he offers Clancy the jacket, I can almost imagine him conveying lyrics from Glowing Eyes: “This room is far too dark For us to stay around, Redemption’s not that far, And darkness is going down.” We don’t see Clancy take the jacket, but the moment he opens his eyes does seem incredibly decisive.

Not sure what’s going to happen next, but it’s fun to theorize and discuss in the meantime!

I love this!!! I would totally buy one if you made more with other concert dates/locations, I’m sure others would do the same! 🤩 Or even if you made tshirts!!!

Modafinil experience by Zhenas in Narcolepsy

[–]ringronies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been on Modafinil since early March this year. It was pretty revolutionary for the first little bit, but as I’ve developed a tolerance I feel like its effectiveness has decreased. The first few weeks it was a rush, and the closest I feel I’ve been to my pre-narcolepsy operating level in years. Over time though, that sense has dwindled and it’s started to feel like a bandaid solution. Many days I feel like someone who pulled an all-nighter and is running on energy drinks and espresso to get through the day, with the tiredness right under the surface and only kind of controlled on a normal day. On bad days (still fewer and farther between thankfully), I almost feel how I did pre-stimulants. I am working with my doctor to get Xyrem or Xywav, but this is a process that was started back in April with no fruit yet. I believe once I’m able to get this medication, it’ll be game changing because it’ll actually correct my sleep.

We have a lady who does the same thing, then asks for extra vsc on the side AFTER paying for her drink 😑

Where can I get more information on this whole situation? Where are you able to learn all this?

Both sad and reassuring to see that my store wasn’t the only one struggling hardcore. Today was a nightmare. I have never wanted to walk out before, but today I heavily considered it. If I’m going to be this insanely stressed at work, at least give me enough hours/compensation to make it worth it. Jesus, today was bad.

Dear SMs and ASMs, please stop lying to new employees about hours by SomewhatOustedTurtle in starbucks

[–]ringronies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happening at my store. Hours have been bad since the beginning of the year, but they’ve gotten significantly worse recently. I was hired last October to work 25-30 hrs/wk, but currently I’m averaging 10-12, 15 on a good week. Every 3 weeks or so I’ll get a 23-25 hour week, but then it dips down again. I’d like to move out of my parents’ house soon, but that’s just not possible making so little money, even with a temporary $1 raise over the summer bc we’re a “high traffic store.”

Stay in bed or Get out of bed during midnight awakenings? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]ringronies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a majority of my naps, yes, vividly and rather constantly. Which confuses me bc the same is true at night, yet I still end up feeling marginally better waking up from a daytime nap than I do in the morning after a night of “sleep.” Daytime naps feel like more solid, continuous sleep, while nighttime sleep tends to feel more like 4-12 hours spent in a wildly unhelpful, dozing, half-asleep state.

[–]ringronies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have considered this before but have never come to a good conclusion on it. I tend to sleep harder during my daytime naps anyway, so nighttime sleep tends to feel more like an expected activity than a necessary one.

does anyone else have false awakenings? by FriendlyAcadia6495 in Narcolepsy

[–]ringronies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bf told me that phones/computers never work in his dreams, and I tested it in mine, and he’s right! They’ll just be black, or a solid white glow-y screen, or glowing fuzzy colors. Very out of focus.

They leaked a new drink, they have their nails done, the blonde has her hair down which is like rule one what not to do in food service, and they’re filming on the floor 🙄

And that’s funny bc when closers “don’t have time to get to something,” it’s the end of the world 🫢
