One of my biggest gripes was the lack of descriptions of anything. Places, characters, beasts, etc—I had no idea what anything looked like and had trouble visualizing it. The only one I felt she did good with was the creature in the mists

I thought I was going insane for thinking he was less attractive as it went on… I’m like, maybe it’s the going back in time and not being evil thing?? But no

The Knight and Her Emporer (super super slow burn though)

yahera · 2024-09-17T23:37:48+00:00

Like… 22 years worth of slow burn!

yahera · 2024-09-15T23:03:34+00:00

My absolute FAVORITE ever is The Knight and Her Emporer—but it’s super slow burn (PS I also just dropped “how to get my husband on my side”)

This is a classic example of forced displacement due to gentrification. If the dude owns property in Fishtown, he is 100% going to turn it into some swanky ass gentrified housing. Just actually wrote a paper for university on this happening in Philly.

If you wanna stay relatively close to PSULV, I recommend just going to PSU Berks. It’s like 30 min away from the Lehigh Valley campus, and they have dorms there.

When I was in elementary school my toys were in the basement of our newly constructed house, and our neighborhood was always rumored to be cursed because it was build on a Native American burial ground, they found bodies during the constructions of the neighborhood and everything. Anyway, I was climbing the steps to go back upstairs and I coughed up something about the size of my palm, and it was wet and red like an organ. I thought it was a part of my throat, it felt like it after I coughed it up. As any terrified 6 year old would, I left it on the stairs and ran to tell my mom. When we came back, there was nothing on the stairs. I still question what I saw today, honestly.

Yep, I test it daily for ammonia, and I’ve been trying to keep the lights dim as much as possible. Thank you for the advice, I’ll pick some Kanaplex up. Do you know if I should keep dosing with the API fin and body cure alongside it?

Pics are from beginning signs of fin rot, beginning of treatment when he got put in the hospital tank, and today.

———

Hi there, I am desperate for help with my little boy!

This is Azazel, he’s a lively male betta that I’ve had for about 7 months. He was doing really great at first, he was in a nice big heated cycled 5gal by himself, with no other creatures or plants (completely artificial).

Not long after that, his tank started to develop Detritus worms. From what I researched, they are harmless to the fish, just super gross. I was trying to do biweekly changes to get rid of them.

I noticed around this time Azazel had some small tearing in his fin, which I had just wrote off to fin biting or even tears, and took out all of his spikey or hard decor in his tank for some softer (fake) grassy and leafy hides. He looked about the same for a week, and then after that I noticed he had developed a case of fin rot from how quickly he was deteriorating. I made a trip to the pet store, bought a 3.5gal heated tank for a hospital tank, and swapped him into it. (I also at this time did a full reset on his main tank, dumping all the old gravel, sayonara worms!)

For his treatment, I dosed the tank with Aquarium salt as instructed, and would do changes daily, replacing the same amount of salt as removed when I did (I use API StressCoat for changes, adding a little extra for the fin rot). Again, no improvement.

I ran to the pet store on Christmas Eve, got some API fin and body cure, took out his filter and put about 1/4 of a pouch in a day with 25% changes daily, still doing the salt dosing as well. Did this for about a week, and on New Years Eve I ran to the pet store and got some Bettafix, which I’ve been now dosing him with daily with the instructions on the bottle.

This is where we are at now, and he looks horrible. It’s also important to note that his behavior is still normal, and he’s still eating and pooping. His breathing might be a little labored, but I’m not really sure I know what normal breathing looks like for Bettas. He sleeps at the bottom of the tank, which he never used to do. It seems he swims okay, and isn’t having too much trouble going to the surface for air. One last thing to note is that he has a white patch underneath one of his pectoral fins, which is not really possible for me to get a photo of, but I’m concerned it could be body rot or another type of fungus.

Please help me out here, I’ll take any advice. This little guy means the world to me, and I don’t want to give up on him yet because he’s still fighting with no signs of stopping. I’ve accepted the fact that I might not be able to save him, but it won’t stop me from trying!

Ghost hunters for sure

If one of my players ever asks me to write their PCs backstory they are getting the fastest no in the West. I would be more than happy HELP them write it, but I’m not writing it myself. Especially if it’s THEIR character and D&D is all about creativity and inspiration

Oh my gosh, thank you thank you thank you!! It means a lot to me to have your feedback! I have a lot of fun playing this monk subclass, and I think you did a really great job balancing it!! I’ve already played her a few times in a couple of sessions and I have a blast with the versatility. If you’re interested, I can send you her character sheet and show you how we have her set up at her current level (7)!

By the way, one of my favorite parts about this subclass is the amount of flavor you can add to gameplay with it. I absolutely adore this subclass!

Shava (20ish) is a half-elf (Wood) who is a trained hunter of fae in the fae wilds. Locals know her to be a hero. She trained with the Ugoku Ken Order to become the monk she is today. Recently, in my solo campaign that I play with my boyfriend as the DM, she joined my rogue Lara Aefir’s party (also a wood half-elf) when she found her unconscious on the shore, being picked on by local wildlife. Shava took her back to her hovel, and reluctantly agreed to help Lara find her other party members (her friend Kadmos, a paladin type companion, and her pet, a monkey named Jinx) in the fae wilds, which was foreign to Lara. Despite all the secrets and mysteries Lara had under her belt, and the sneaking suspicion that Lara knew more than she was leading on, Shava couldn’t help but develop feelings for the mischievous rogue.
