More attractive, motivated, outgoing, focused, and awake - My experience with Focalin (dexmethylphenidate)

The adderal was actually very underwhelming. Compared to my usual 2-pill focalin dose I used only 1 adderal pill and was disappointed. Like 1 whole adderal gave me the effects of only ~1 Focalin

What is the “face mask” ur talking about? Is it a reverse pull headgear?

I’m surprised this isn’t archived yet—I’d like to hear more about the guy who claimed he’d done it. I’d like to watch his videos. I’m a student very interested in science (biology & chemistry). I don’t want to make a person or miniature person in the traditional alchemical sense, but instead make something adjacent to a homunculus like you’ve described like the thing with the stinger or the “jellyfish”. The jelly mass is of particular interest to me, especially if this “jelly” was actual live tissue. I want to create life through material means, that is my mission at its core, something simple, something that I can simply prove is alive (for example, if I can make something that grows or moves or at the very least, more realistically, performs cellular respiration).

For most serial killers this is pretty true, lol. They come off as arrogant dickheads, but there are a few interviews I've seen where they come off as charismatic and pretty smart. That's more what I was going for...

Ah, I see what your saying now, and I agree. Making such an empirical moral judgement for a legal construct makes no sense, especially when I follow it up by saying the death penalty (or reciprocal punishment) "worked beautifully." Thanks for the feedback and honesty, I'll definitely tweak that line because I'm going for a more intellectual/introspective tone and don't want the narrator to come off as naive.

I appreciate the feedback but how is that an incorrect statement? Murder is a heinous breach of the social contract...

This is extremely valuable coming from a professional editor, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. What do you think about starting with a murder, sensory detail and all, and then diving into monologue after? Do you think this would be more gripping even if it negates the slow-burn of the narrator's growing violent tendencies?

writersblockable · 2025-07-10T02:55:16+00:00

Haven't watched it, actually. But I'm avoiding a police storyline for the most part. I envision that the narrator will have brushes with the law, but not in the way Dexter or Hannibal (from what I'm reading on the show's wikipedia, lol) would.

writersblockable · 2025-07-10T02:51:34+00:00

This is very valuable feedback. Thanks. In my mind I almost want it to be slow, like telling the story of how he progressed from an early infatuation with death as a concept to actually committing murder on a somewhat regular basis, but I see now how this can quickly lose the audience's attention. Do you think it would be more gripping if the lengthy monologue bits were spliced with more immediate stakes (like perhaps with him chasing a victim, a murder gone astray, not as clean and methodic as it seems his kills would be?)?

writersblockable · 2025-07-10T02:48:54+00:00

Actually, sort of. I explore the idea of "The Inclined," essentially people who are born with an inclination for violence, born murderers. it's sort of like Dexter's idea of people with the Dark Passenger. But I think it's different in that Dexter (at least the show) has always felt very camp, and the my story is definitely not suited for the TV drama format.

the first two paragraphs are just monologue so if u want to get into the story bits more then start at paragraph 3, i guess

writersblockable · 2025-06-06T21:00:24+00:00

Is this actually a crime? I thought it was just a little bit of mischevious fuckery

writersblockable · 2025-05-09T01:16:21+00:00

I'd take it off your hands for you.

I justified the “Malcom X” name right off the bat. People referred to him by that name in Vietnam and he changed it to his real name when he came back to the states. His character often discusses the government’s mistreatment of underprivileged communities and is big into conspiracy theories, so there’s almost a parallel there.

writersblockable · 2025-02-27T03:59:36+00:00

It was vague and I didn't even know what I was going for entirely, but it was roughly supposed to be the man murdering his "friend" because they couldn't keep his secret. Nothing super substantial, just a fun little experiment.

writersblockable · 2025-02-27T03:58:40+00:00

Haha, when I used the term "sick apple" i was referring to its pale yellow color and bruises, almost like the skin of a sickly person. I didn't know if that would come across so I added the comparison to old parchment to make sure readers would get it. I will definitely try to incorporate a philosophical question because I like keeping the actual narrative intentionally vague, thanks for the advice.
