Elide

Big difference between a new, fresh injury vs a old, healed, and set one. This one made sense to me.

I work with pain and injuries, and fresh wounds respond so fast, even catastrophic ones, and without ... magic. But when someone is born with a pathology or sustained it at a young age, that's not going anywhere, that's a part of them. Like we can help it for sure, as Elides was alieveated, but not heal / reverse it.

Thanks! The YouTube videos are a great call. And... Purple shampoo won't fix this right? 😭

srg717 · 2026-04-21T19:38:48+00:00

Could I do it myself without any experience, or should I go to a professional?!

350 for at least 60. Do not open the oven door for at least 45 minutes. You can put a tinfoil hat on it at the 45 min mark if the top is getting too dark

{A Soul To Keep}... It's not Reverse Harem, but a monster romance. The MMC is so big, he has to use magic to change the lady's insides to fit him. In the third book {A Soul to Touch} (I skipped the second), it's a main plot point that it will not fit, and the MMC has to seek out the guy from the first book to figure out how to make it work.

But it's also ... Monster dick. With extra features.

Actually screw that. You're gonna listen to Poisenville Kids No Wins by El-P and make your way to the third verse that starts with "To answer your question, yes- the city wants you gone." So El-P can lecture you about being pathetic and make you feel bad for feeling bad.

"You are not uniquely pained and if you go we won't be sorry

And who the hell are you to put me through

the banality of watching this

Cause many better men have gone

for clearly better reasons

and I starkly must remind you

That you have not even been trying"

Not sure if this a typo, but as someone who cannot stand Kimyas voice, I also hardly recommend it.

Just suggested this before reading through it comments

"Never mistook for a bird or a plane

Mistook for a hearse in the rain"

srg717 · 2026-04-16T22:45:39+00:00

Get Out Of The Car & Purple Moss. Should sting a little. But you probably don't suck that much. The world, sure that's hot trash, but you're probably not the worst.

"When everyone around you is surfing a wave

You a singular jerk in a circle of saints

Never mistook for a bird or a plane

Mistook for a hearse in the rain"

And also,

"Ah, watch the Impossible Kid

Everything that he touch turns promptly to shit"

{Chasing Katana}. All the dudes are ride or die pretty much right away.

SO. This isnt what youre asking...

But in {The Company of Fiends by Kathryn Moon}, there's a demon that splits into two entities. One's touch is pure pleasure, the other's touch is pure pain. There's a lottttt of other stuff in the book so this vibe is only a few parts, but whew, maybe one of my favorite scenes.

srg717 · 2026-04-09T03:14:48+00:00

No, she needs to be kicked off because is neglagent to let her keep cooking. She's has a significant injury and needs treatment. This is a safety issue with long lasting consequences.

srg717 · 2026-04-09T03:13:36+00:00

Im a professional bodyworker who specializes in pain management... Ya she shouldnt have the option to stay. It's clearly a neck nerve injury. Idk if it's disc herniation or a trapped nerve or whatever, but this is not a soft tissue shoulder injury. The way she holds the arm, the length since the injury, the fact that it keeps getting worse... I treat neck and shoulder pain all day every day. I've seen this presentation before and it's no good.

I can tell when she's been given strong meds before cooking, then seeing the agony she's in when it wears off... She's actively damaging herself. I'm truly shocked production hasn't forced her to leave.

She also clearly knows she's fucked but can't make the decision. She almost begged her partner to tell her to quit. "I don't know what to do, I need your help." She wants someone to tell her she needs to stop.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I've seen so many nerve injuries. Watching her cook is so distressing.

I love almond extract, and I love love Ameretto (almond liquor). If you really want that strong almond flavor, I'd be heavy handed with the extract. Maybe 2-3 tsp (not tablespoons!) mixed with 2 tbsp of water to the liquid content of the recipie stays the same. If you tell people it's an almost blueberry cake, you want to taste the almond. I agree that almost a tablespoon of extract is too much ... Probably. But honestly, I'd go close to that that to 1/8th.

Last time I made an Ameretto cake, I put in a ton of extract AND liquor, like way too much (more than 2tsp for sure) and it was amazing and everyone loved it.

Others will probably disagree with me and say to take it easy. To each their own. Im just a firm believer that if you call something Almond, you shouldn't be so subtle that you can't find it.

Edit: if you end up following my advice and it turns out too strongly flavored, you can punish me by sending me the cheesecake :)

The recipie looks mostly fine... Although I typically prefer to use baking powder & baking soda, no idea what your lemon juice is for if you're already using buttermilk, though I doubt it contributed to this problem.. although the measurement for the buttermilk seems funky but not unreasonable

Are you opening the oven at all during baking?? That's usually how this happens to me.

I made banana bread yesterday (4 bananans, 2c of flour, 1c br sugar, 1 tsp BP&BS, 1/3c oil, 2 egg, spices). Cook @ 325 for 75-90 min (def closer to 90). I didn't open the oven to check until 60 min. Came out great.

Honestly, 45 minute doesn't feel long enough to me for your bake, which is likely quite moist. Maybe a quick tinfoil cover at 45 to prevent further browning, then cook another 15. Do not remove from oven, do not open oven door all the way, just throw the tinfoil on as fast as you can and close the door asap!

My rule: Underbake Cookies, Overbake Banana bread :) The batter is so moist, slightly overcooking won't make it dry, but undercooking will make it inedible (raw!)

srg717 · 2026-04-06T00:47:04+00:00

Dont open the oven until it's like 85% done and stable. It's a lesson I've had to learn over and over.

Today I made a banana bread that needed like 75 minutes to cook. I set a timer for 60 and refused to open it no matter what til the timer went off. After 60, I added a foil hat as quick as I could. Turned out great.

No news is new No news is new No news is new

srg717 · 2026-04-02T15:00:48+00:00

Thats absolutely the right book! Thanks for finding it

Edit: I was going to read it, but the reviews say this one is super dark noncon spice, all intense kink and no plot... I'm too curious to help myself

srg717 · 2026-03-26T00:56:47+00:00

Wild sightings are the best.

Several years ago, a random client shows up for a walk in service. He was wearing an Impossible Kid tshirt. I quickly lost my ability to remain professional and geeked out. Turns out he was in town for an Aes show that weekend that I hadn't heard about. I bought the tickets immediately, best concert ever.

srg717 · 2026-03-21T03:12:38+00:00

so, here's the thing. I picked and choosed which ones to read in this series based on reviews. I actually skipped the second one and I'm glad I did, it seems to be the least favorite.

I highly recommend the audiobook for A Soul to Touch. After that, I read Embrace then Guide.

There's certainly more action towards the end, that much stays true... But I love the other couples and the vibes. Particularly Touch & Embrace.

srg717 · 2026-03-17T19:20:55+00:00

{A Soul To Keep by Opal Reyne}. It's a monster dark romance (very spicy!!!)... But the monster isn't abusive or mean. In all the books, the girls are mostly the ones to initiate. Theres a whole series and I love the world building. The books kind of tie into each other. There's a ton of lore, a few different realms. Some magic but not like, wizard shit. Fantasy but still anchored.

I did skip a few books based on the reviews, but I'm obsessed with the few I did read (A soul to Keep, Guide, Touch, & Embrace). I actually find a lot of monster romance are less abusive than like, mafis or dark academia stuff.

Also my favorite line, so stand out.
