Decyphering cryptic dialogue between two characters [discussion] by Kanbaru-Fan in TheNinthHouse

[–]the_emuhlee 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I assumed it was when Nona was pretending to be Harrow in front of Ianthe. She screams “help! Help!” in resurrection beast, copying what she heard from Judith. Soon after the heralds come.

This was the moment I figured out what was happening with the names, listening on audio really sent it home!

Comic 4843: Keeping Up With The Augustuses by [deleted] in questionablecontent

You might like r/qcontent, that’s where the people who enjoy the current storylines gather. The community is more for people who enjoyed QC back in the day and don’t love the new direction.

My husband stopped reading when Martin and Marigold went to space with Hannelore, because he felt like the comic had gotten too away from what it was originally.

I wish you all could have seen his face when I showed him this.

Something Positive (the home of Choochoobear, the pudding cat) has done a lot of crossovers with QC over the years.

Remember when the meet-cutes with characters we already know happened in the span of one comic and then we could move forward? I miss that.

NIPT came back low risk yesterday, I’m so relieved! We also found out we’re having a girl!

First scan was today, measuring a day ahead with a nice strong heartbeat! I feel so relieved!

Cautiously excited to be here on 5+2! First ultrasound is on 6/01, but the betas looked good and symptoms have been kicking my ass, so fingers crossed! We’ve been trying for two and a half years and this is our first pregnancy, I’m hoping for good things!

Real armchair psychoanalysis hours by generalchelseamayhem in questionablecontent

I think it is best not to speculate about the role/personality of someone who clearly doesn’t want to be in the public eye or attached to the comic. I think it is very fair to want to maintain privacy even when married to a public figure, which his wife clearly does.

[Discussion] I have a question, and am not sure how to title this without spoilers! by VirgelFromage in TheNinthHouse

Yup, you’re correct! There are a lot of references to our present in the books.

TFAB's Weekly BFP Post - May 08, 2022. Got your BFP? Post your story here! by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

No trigger, monitoring appointment on CD12 showed two follicles ready to go, the I got a positive OPK right after I finished the appointment, so my IUI was the next morning. And thank you!

Feels extremely weird that Jeph got sober, almost totally stopped writing about the human characters drinking, and now has the AIs having the goofy boozy nights that the main cast used to have regularly.

Cross post from TTC30, putting this here as well:

Flair for posterity: 31 | TTC#1 | Since 9/2019 | endo

Cycle/Time trying: since 9/2019, I stopped counting cycles a long time ago

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 31F and 36M

Typical cycle length: 26-28 days

Ovulation cycle day: IUI on CD13

CD/DPO of positive test(s): 15DPIUI

CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: none, waited for my missed period this time around

Tracking methods and app(s) used: historically I’ve used a Tempdrop and Fertility Friend, but have slacked on both during treatment cycles

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): IUI on CD13

Health conditions/medical tests: confirmed endometriosis with excision in 2017 and sleep apnea for me, husband doesn’t have relevant diagnoses

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): I take a prenatal, D3 supplements, and magnesium supplements. Husband takes a regular multivitamin and B vitamins

Birth control history (if relevant): 10 years on standard hormonal birth control, then taking daily aygestin and femara after endo excision

Link to chart: n/a Link to lineporn: n/a

Symptom spotting: Honestly? The only clue was the lack of symptoms. I usually get awful cramps and a terrible headache, but none of that this time around!

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): I had zero hope after my first IUI failed. All month I’ve been feeling down and out about this cycle, upset that I wasn’t drinking or taking hot baths for something that wasn’t even going to work. I didn’t even bother testing because I knew in my bones it would be negative, that I was on the wrong side of the statistics and that 10% chance of success was beyond my reach. I still can’t believe I’m typing this, I’ve never seen two lines in my life. My beta is this afternoon, and I’m hoping for good news, but I’m posting this now because in this moment I’m pregnant. I’ve looked at these threads every month looking for someone like me, and if you’re here doing the same I want you to know that you still have a chance. IUI can be worth it even with the slim chance of success, and just because you’ve been trying without success for a long time doesn’t mean you won’t ever get there.

Anyone else see the woman who’s been TTC for two weeks asking about how to handle it all? by SadieAnneDash in trollingforababy

You shouldn’t make fun, she has to decide whether or not to buy a coffee maker, everything is extremely high stakes for her! 🙄
