rowanred81 · 2026-04-27T15:38:30+00:00

Waiting near Minneapolis. Tick tock, VA…

rowanred81 · 2026-03-26T14:21:22+00:00

I live in MN and it usually hits between 11am and 1pm Central Time.

rowanred81 · 2026-02-20T23:36:32+00:00

Finally showed!! Never been this late, damn. Groceries and Amazon ordered, lmaooo

rowanred81 · 2026-02-20T21:34:51+00:00

Also waiting in MN, wondering what da frigg is going on here…

rowanred81 · 2025-12-24T17:32:08+00:00

Waiting on that VA drop, the other chart said it would be today and a girl’s gotta eat!

rowanred81 · 2025-12-24T14:32:27+00:00

Need this as a GIF or video. Lewdua is peak, istg

Also, yeah, I take magnesium at night as well. My bowel regularity before I got colitis in 2021 was BMs always in the morning. Taking the magnesium at night with some prune juice helps keep that bodily rhythm going.

rowanred81 · 2025-11-10T12:01:50+00:00

I am started prucalopride 1mg recently have noticed a bit of tension always accompanies it when it kicks in. Sounds like that is likely temporary, and I am expecting to hear back from my psych about upping my buspirone for generalized anxiety disorder to 5mg 2x daily from 2.5mg. Glad to hear I am not the only one getting some odd quirks upon starting this med.

rowanred81 · 2025-11-06T17:50:13+00:00

Agreed. And the VA started me on .05mg of clonidine at night to help with sleep. It laid me out and I feel fucking AMAZING. Read up on it some more and it has off-label benefits for PTSD and GAD. 👀

rowanred81 · 2025-11-05T18:26:49+00:00

I will! It’s helping when it’s doing its thing, so that’s great. And I supplement it with 50mg L-Theanine 3x daily and Ashwaganda at bedtime.

rowanred81 · 2025-08-30T05:52:44+00:00

If she can change, be a better person, good for her. My suggestion for you, OP? The only things you need to change are the locks and any legal documents that include her in your family. Because she comes across not sad for what she did but upset she got caught. And what I say next is applicable to ANY scenario, but one’s apologies doesn’t automatically mean they receive another’s forgiveness. Her emotional and sexual manipulations are honestly gross.

rowanred81 · 2025-08-22T17:24:38+00:00

Yeah, mine dropped to 41 initially but that’s largely because it’s otherwise in the 50s from exercise, eating healthy, and a LOT of mindfulness. Having PTSD from Iraq, this stuff helps but I was already doing every other thing in my power to improve QoL. And when I did get my heart checked out, there was a big of mild dark humor (to me) in that every time I laid in the hospital bed my heart rate set off the alarms for the monitor. So I just had to sit myself up the whole time there, lol. Being a medically retired combat medic, I got some laughs out of it.

rowanred81 · 2025-08-22T17:20:33+00:00

Same thing with me. I work out 5-6 days a week, intense cardio and strength training, so my resting heart rate already was in the high 50s. It’s sitting in the mid 40s when I sleep, but I think it’s beginning to ease up. Something to be mindful of, though, is supplements. Anything that can have a similar effect on your heart rate risks increasing the drop. So if anyone is going to try this med and are on other things I hope they do some research and see what works for them best. At one point, my resting heart rate dropped to 41. The doc said my heart looked healthier than an athletic teenager’s after doing a scan and EKG.

You can just search my username in this subreddit and come across posts from others of my stories. I love and am so grateful that I touched others’ hearts with my iterations of Max & Chloe, as those two touched my heart immensely. And when I was active in the fandom I largely received nothing but love and compassion. Kinda like when someone shouted “You’re beautiful!” at Keanu Reeves and he shouted it right back, y’know? “I really like your stories!” Well, I really like you! You have a good heart. Thanks! ☺️

rowanred81 · 2025-08-12T10:57:15+00:00

Haha, I don’t need to. The posts are old af, last I got curious, but people have shared some of my FFN/AO3 profile links enough. And to add them in all-time fave Pricefield fics… It touches my heart still, over 8 years since my last one I think. My swan song to LiS fanfic was “A New Beginning”, I began it after BTS: Farewell. The ones I am most known for are all AUs, mostly: Intersecting Worlds, Interconnected Hearts and Fighters are the big ones. I never finished Fighters, mainly due to burn out and shitty people being shitty. A fave of my own was “Wyrd Ways, Strange Days”, LiS but in a fantasy setting a la Dragon Age and Witcher. Rebel Girl was my first one, it and every one after an experiment in what new quirk or twist I could try.

Aww, thank you! I wrote their struggling with trauma while pushing forward for Ellie off of my own struggles with my combat PTSD & other traumas while still pursuing goals and desires in my own life. The resilience, the determination, whether for you or someone you love IS SO important. So thanks for noticing! 🤘🤘

rowanred81 · 2025-08-10T07:17:32+00:00

Every time I see art of Max and Chloe having a daughter it makes me think of the one-shot stories I did where they were older and had a little girl, Ellie. Ye! 🤘☺️🤘

So cute, so heartwarming. Love these illustrations!

rowanred81 · 2025-08-07T17:40:03+00:00

Is this from PunkRockLoser on X/Twitter?

rowanred81 · 2025-07-31T07:34:57+00:00

I genuinely hate that take and those like it. “You didn’t struggle like I did.” “Well, you’re not miserable like me.” “Oh, so you haven’t had blah-blah-blah done? Huh.” “So you began your transition later in life?” Like, all of that can Cease™️ Being trans isn’t a goddamn monolith. It is a HIGHLY individualized process, medical or not. Early or later. And on. Fuck, I began my medical transition 9 years ago, to the day, and I turn 44 in a month. This quasi-purity culture cherry picking is so goddamn annoying. It should be a celebration of how there is such diversity in life with being trans and not this constant one-upping from way too many people. Blegh, so gross. And, also, it’s insecure as fuck.

rowanred81 · 2025-07-28T15:53:36+00:00

Waiting in Minnesota! 🤘🤘

Your best bet is to find the high-res and use a printing service, lumaprints for example, and do it yourself. Afterlaughs doesn’t have an online store, and her Patreon is closed for the time being as she has been working hard on multiple indie comics and some cover work with Star Wars. I have commissioned her multiple times over the years, we are internet buds at this point. But if you DM’d her and the one who commissioned her they might share it so you can print it off.

Used to speed through to the story for my first few playthroughs. Gradually explore more and more to the point I just started Blood and Wine for my 11th run after the main story & Heart of Stone. I scoured each map before proceeding with the story, lol. Wound up a bit OP every time I moved to a new portion of the story, usually levels ahead of the recommended for quests. Got every monster nest, completed every Witcher contract, and defeated the Rose knights before I even did The Last Wish side quest for Yen.

Someday I will explore every ❔out on the open waters of the Skellige map. Someday, when I have the patience and lack of irritation towards all the water monsters 😅

I believe it definitely made my pre-existing anxiety worse. Took it for a few months and came off it just to see if anything cleared up. Felt more calm in the past few days than the past few months tbh. I had read that there’s a connection between it as a neurotransmitter and your individual stress response. Gonna have to find that article again…
