2023.06.01 08:18 nothing_abides Has anyone's nmom become inappropriately close with your ex?
I'm not sure if this is unique to me but I feel insane! He was 30+ years older than me, and it was a bad relationship. I don't feel comfortable saying more. I was only with him for a year when I was 20, but after we broke up my mom immediately went out of her way to befriend him. I'm now 29, and she speaks to him on the phone every few days, visits his home often, she lived with him for a few months to take care of him after he had surgery, and she even invites him to family events she knows I can't make it to and hides it from me. She updates me on his life constantly and gets angry when I tell her I don't want to hear it. She never wanted to be this close to him until we broke up.
I'm now 29 and I've been losing my mind for years! It didn't matter that I cried and explained in graphic detail that he was a bad man and I begged her to allow me to leave him in my past. She's always said I'm selfish and unforgiving and that I do not get to control her relationships. She says she only ever remembers how ungrateful i was for his generosity, and they bond over how difficult I am. It's damaged my relationship with my mother beyond repair, but she's right, this is her choice. Only recently I've realized I have a choice in all this too.
Has anyone else experienced this?? I feel so alone and like I'm crazy for being hurt by her chosing some fucking man she never knew over her own daughter. The disgusting part is I've felt nothing but guilt. I've shut my mouth and suffered for years because I didn't want to lose my mom. I'm learning that she is the one losing me.

2023.06.01 08:17 OldSeaworthiness3332 I'm in love with my best friend and now he's dating someone.
Jon (27) and I (27) have been best friends for 10 years now. Our friendship was completely platonic until last fall.
We were at a bar and Jon got pretty drunk and said that he finds me attractive and that I'm really special to him.
So I talked to him the next day and he said he had no memory of our conversation but everything he said was true. He explained to me that he doesn't "like" me, he simply finds me attractive and I "check all the boxes." Okay lol
Jon is also really afraid of commitment and he doesn't do serious relationships.
Anyway, I brushed it off because I didn't see him that way. I truly saw him as just a friend.
A couple months later, we do mushrooms together and he brings up this pact we made in high school. So silly but I remember us agreeing that if we weren't married by 35 that we'd end up tying the knot. So I entertain the idea and I agree that we'd make a great couple because we have a strong friendship and we get along so well.
I slept over that night and the following morning I came onto him and we had sex for the first time. We didn't talk about it after, we just went back to being friends.
Now, this is where it gets messy.
Two months after we had sex, I start having (sexual) dreams about him. And now I have this strong desire to fuck him lol so I come onto him again... And again...
Around this time he also starts casually dating this girl named Maggie.
And then I tell him "gosh, we better stop doing this or else one of us is gonna end up liking the other person" and now he confesses that he does have feelings for me. And he's been crushing on me on and off all these years.
So this basically plants the seed of love in my heart lol
And then one night we have sex and it felt different this time... Like "I love you" sex
And then I realized that he's everything that I'm looking for in a man.
So I write a love letter to him and nothing happens. He said it was beautiful and that I don't "fully know the extent of what he thinks about."
After a couple months of dating, Maggie hits Jon with the "what are we" conversation. And he tells her his whole thing about how he doesn't want a serious relationship and they keep going in circles about this until Maggie finally leaves. And Jon finally decides to give the relationship thing a try. To my understanding, he's not crazy about her but he realizes he should give it a try instead of "rejecting love."
And that felt like a huge slap in the face. Like I'm "wifey material" but maybe years down the road when he is ready for commitment THEN he'll hmu.
So now I just don't know what to feel. I'm hurt, I don't want to see him with anyone else and this whole thing is so messy.
Sometimes I feel so upset with him because I feel like he opened up a door that he wasn't even ready to walk through with me and I feel pretty dumb for being so vulnerable.

2023.06.01 08:16 anon05312023 Seeking dashcam footage of dog attack @ W 16th Ave & Heather St (May 31, 7PM)
Hi all,
My dog was attacked tonight at the NW corner of W 16th Ave & Heather St. The attack was unprovoked and my dog just came home from the hospital. He's got a week of recovery ahead of him, and I've got a sizable hospital bill and another bill on the way for a check-up.
I have the other owner's phone number and texted them about an hour ago - no response. Hopefully just because it's late and they'll respond in the morning. There was another person standing there throughout the whole incident, but he refused to be a witness in case it was needed.
My friend suggested I should post here and see if anyone was driving near the intersection and might have dashcam footage of the attack.
Location: W 16th Ave & Heather St Date: Wed May 31st Time: 6:50-7:00PM

2023.06.01 08:16 elijahkirk_13 Extreme night terror brought into my reality.
So this happened about a year ago. Just to give a little context, it was a week night and I was home after working my usual 12 hour graveyard shift. I did my usual routine of showering and brushing my teeth, just the usual stuff for getting ready for bed. I turned on one of my favorite YouTubers, Wendigoon and was looking forward to watching one of his summaries of the Mandela Catalogue videos. I’m not a huge horror fan but the story intrigued me. Long story short, the main idea of the Mandela Catalogues is that in their universe, the Christian Judea God was kicked out of power by Satan who disguised himself as God and Satan was able to change and manipulate everyone thinking they were following God into following him. It’s more complicated than that but that’s just all you’ll need to know as backstory for my nightmare. I am a Christian so this kind of horror hit me at my core, but anyways I was watching Wendigoons summary and drifting to sleep. I remember slowly waking back up to a part in this YouTube video that Wendigoon was playing a clip from the actual video and it was a scene with Satan taking form of the Angel Michael to speak to Mary and essentially twist the truth just enough to lead her down the wrong path. And for some reason that just struck a chord in me. I remember I started breathing short breaths and paused the video, and thinking to myself, “what if Satan really did this to us humans?” Since he’s the Deceiver and all like, if anyone could do it, he could. Then it felt like I lost touch with reality at this point. The best way I could describe it to someone would be like waking up and realizing that everything you’ve built you’re whole life on was just some huge scam, and what you thought was right was actually wrong and vise versa. I know it’s hard to explain but it all felt so real to me at that time. So now I’m sitting up in my bed and saying to myself, “If the devil was able to take over the position of God, there’s no hope for the future.” And what popped into my head next truly scared me. I thought maybe I’m already in hell and that reality is just hell for people who weren’t able to get into Heaven. Like your birth into this world was actually your death in your previous life and you were dammed to hell. I started having one of the worst headaches I’ve ever had and I got up and walked into the living room. I lived with my brother and his wife at this time and I was considering on knocking on their door to wake them up because at this moment I’m panicking and my heart feels like it’s going to explode on top of this terrible headache. I was finally able to calm myself down and sit on the couch in the living room reciting prayer and Bible verses to myself. I also took some ibuprofen and that helped with my headache. I sat in the living room in the dark doing nothing but praying for 2 hours that felt like 30 minutes, which was weird because it’s usually the other way around but what broke me out of this trance was my brother waking up and seeing me on the couch. He asked me if I was alright and I said yeah because I honestly didn’t know how not to come off as insane. I was able to go to bed and get like 4 hours of sleep after that. I just wanted to share my story to see if anyone else has had something sort of like this happen to them. I know the factors of me having a long blue color work schedule, eating unhealthy and not having the best mental health could lead to bad dreams but this shit was beyond a bad dream. My reality was changed by my mental state and that is very scary to me. Another thing is that I don’t have any mental disorders or at least not clinically stated. Just wanna see everyone’s thoughts on the matter. Thanks.

2023.06.01 08:12 Glittering-Finance85 UPN Garden Apartments: Walkthrough and Tips
Walkthrough: https://youtu.be/2JtBGEQOuaY
I made this video to show what the UPN Garden apartments look like. When I transferred, I didn’t get to see any images or videos on how UPN looked, so I hope this video helps incoming students who get placed here. Also sorry for the mess, this was taken post-graduation and right before move-out, so a little craziness was expected.
This is building 240 on Buckingham Way, Garden units. I was placed in a 3 bed, 1 bath unit with 4 other women, so 5 roommates in total! A little hectic at times, but we managed.
Things to note:
We never really had any big safety concerns either. We had some instances of homeless people sleeping on top of the carports and a really drunk student who passed out on the lobby floor, but nothing dangerous. Even if there was a problem, campus security was fast acting and could get to UPN quickly. We had one car stolen (from what I’ve heard) during the 2 semesters I was living at UPN. It was not one of my roommates, but one of the other residents in our building. They busted her driver's window out and stole it that way.
Transportation around UPN was wonderful! We had the 57 that went through the UPN area as well as the 29. M was only a 10-minute walk away. It was easy to take a bus or train to where ever you needed to go.
Feel free to add/share anything else I missed!

Things to note:
- Only 2-pronged outlets! 3-pronged appliances will NOT fit. Please look into getting adapters, Amazon has a bunch: https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Polarized-JACKYLED-Appliances-Industrial/dp/B085QBFBKB/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1NSEV44HCCT66&keywords=3+pronged+2+pronged+adapter&qid=1685570103&sprefix=3+pronged+2+pronged+a%2Caps%2C941&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzME5KWEFDUVM5ME9MJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjU0MTk5M0RTR05HM1FQRk5VWSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzc3OTMzMUdRWTBUMkFTNVE0OCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
- Kitchen countertops easily stain and damage.
- The bathroom ceiling bubbles up from leakage from the upper floors. This is common for UPN units altogether.
- There are heaters in every room! To turn them off, pull the string and let it fall back into the heater. This shuts a flap so that hot air doesn’t get released. However, it still gets hot even if you do close it. I put a durable bag in front of the heater to try and cover the vent, but it still remains warm. There is no real way to stop the heat.
- Consider privacy film for windows, people are nosy. We were on the bottom floor, so we had a lot of foot traffic and nosy people. Amazon has some options: https://www.amazon.com/Daytime-Privacy-Non-Adhesive-Decorative-Control/dp/B07FBZ7NML/ref=sr_1_6?crid=NWGHI8DRR3CT&keywords=window+tinted+film+for+home&qid=1685570419&sprefix=window+tinted+film+for+home%2Caps%2C310&sr=8-6
- We had an ant problem when we first move in. I highly suggest getting ant spray or ant traps. The ant problem went away after 2 months into the fall semester
- Close windows when it’s super windy outside. SFSU Housing will also suggest you close them so that the windows don’t snap off and get damaged.
- The bathrooms are forever stained. The roommates and I are very clean people, so we would clean the bathroom every weekend, but it still looked dirty even though it was cleaned. The linoleum had dark spots that could not be cleaned by mopping or any product we used. We just tried to keep up with the cleaning schedule and cover it up with some big bathroom rugs to make it look presentable.
We never really had any big safety concerns either. We had some instances of homeless people sleeping on top of the carports and a really drunk student who passed out on the lobby floor, but nothing dangerous. Even if there was a problem, campus security was fast acting and could get to UPN quickly. We had one car stolen (from what I’ve heard) during the 2 semesters I was living at UPN.

2023.06.01 08:10 plozappi Seeing other men wife up your old hos
Back in the glory days of Craigslist, I had a number of excellent experiences coaxing young college coeds into trying prostitution in a very coy way. I posted "generous gentleman" style posts that left a lot to the imagination, made them think of me as a rich boyfriend, and then pumped and dumped them. Beautiful thin innocent sweet coeds. None of them had never had sex for money before, and most had never had cum on their face. After I came once on their face and once inside them (bagged), I'd get them to realize the gravity of how I'd defiled them by saying, casually, as if it was nothing, "so how was your first expeirence with pros---" then cut myself off and say "sex for money? Was it as good for you as it was for me?" sometimes I'd get scowls, several times I got some good crying (which was a huge turnon), twice I got girls refusing money so that they didn't have to accept becoming prostitutes (there was no OnlyFans... this was a different time almost 20 years ago... prostitution was very shameful to them). I'd told them that they'd be getting $2000 a month for two sessions a week, after fucking them for 3-4 hours I sent them home with $250, and then the next day send them an email saying there wasn't good chemistry but I wish them the best. My goal was to make them hate themselves, not hate me.
Oh, also, I videotaped all my sessions, and stored them in folders with their real names and Facebooks, as these girls were too naive to use fake names or numbers.
So now I watch my fuck sessions in split screen with the video on the left and the girl's Facebook on the right. Now, many of these girls are married, some with kids... and it's so funny to see what garbage these guys married. Most of them are 30+ pounds heavier, saggier in the face, of course have taken many more cocks, and of course were sold to me for such a cheap price back in the day. What degradation your precious wife endured from me for three pieces of green paper!
Me... I get to dump loads in a vag that has never taken another cock. LOL

2023.06.01 08:09 These-Improvement476 Another rant about WFH parents
Where I’m from it seems like 99% of parents are now WFH and the other 1% already have nanny’s. Today I was babysitting for a new family. I was watching a 3 y/o nonverbal boy with autism which is no problem for me because I have experience with special needs children. Mom was working from home. They have a living room and a bedroom. The living room is VERY small and mom insisted on working there. She was at the desk behind me and baby, she was at most like five feet away. Mom said she has very important meetings and cannot be interrupted. I was going to feed him breakfast and mom said to wash his hands before every time he eats. No problem except he doesn’t like to wash his hands and when he eats, he will take one bite then go play again and then go back to eat. Every single time I have to wash his hands. As the day progressed it got harder to wash his hands every time and he was full on screaming half way through the day whenever I tried. When mom could she would “come to the rescue” and pick him up and offer him fruit snacks if he washed his hands. Of course this now makes me look like the “bad guy” when I’m just trying to get him to wash his hands. He also kept trying to play with his mom and if I tried to stop him he would scream. For some reason she wouldn’t wear headphones as well and just had her meetings out loud which I think headphones might’ve helped with some noise cancelling. The only thing that helped was if I took him outside for walks so we end up walking for hours in 90 degree heat with no shade. While outside he also tries to run into the road and screams if I try to move him to the sidewalk so it’s not like I ever get time to breath. Mom says he’s good at school and doesn’t know why he’s like that and in my head all I can think is because mom isn’t five feet behind him where he can constantly escape to. Anyways I’m tired of babysitting for wfh parents and I wish I could put “no wfh parents” in my post lmao

2023.06.01 08:08 Def_Not_Rabid I’ve slowly been realizing how much of my parenting is just a trauma response
I’m just trying to process this all so bare with me and hear me out. This is going to start out sounding braggy but just be patient. I’m a mess. I promise.
I am, for all intents and purposes, one of those super moms. I’m a single mother to autistic twin 3.5 year olds. We have a set schedule and a routine that we follow (and I will fight you if you try to mess with our routine or our schedule). I have a little Montessori closet/dressing station and kitchen set up that we use religiously so my girls know how to get the things we need to eat/get out the door. We have a pretty little weekly routine calendar with photo tiles I hand made. I have snacks prepared and portioned and meals for the week ready to go. My fridge is full of mason jars of rinsed and cut fruit and vegetables. My car has an emergency snack bag, a travel toy box, and a “what if all of us fell into the river and then had to go to church immediately after” disaster bag (we don’t go to church but what if). My girls attend therapy daily and they’re known as the girls with the pretty little coordinating outfits and the homemade organic snacks and the yuppie lunches and all that jazz.
And if you had told me five years ago that that’s who I and my children would be, I would have laughed in your face. If you have hinted at that future to my friends or my family or my (now ex-) husband (their father), they would have questioned your sanity. And they would have been right to do so.
But the thing is, then I had twins. I thought I was prepared. I worked in the two year old room in daycare. I could handle 15 two-year-olds solo (ratio is 8:1 but if you have two adults in a room and one adult has to change diapers, that leaves the other adult to manage the remaining 15), two should’ve been nothing. I had twins, and their dad checked out.
He didn’t leave. That probably would’ve been better. He just mentally checked out. For their first 3 months he handled one feeding a day (the one immediately after he got home from work), but then he decided he didn’t want them so I took over everything. For the next 15 months I did everything while he either went to work or sat in the house and pouted.
And all this time, I was just trying to keep my babies alive and him not upset. That’s all I wanted. But all this time I was in reaction mode. I was constantly needing four hands and having only two. I was constantly listening to one of my babies cry and knowing if I had just planned better, if I had just had their bottle or pacifier or toy ready and within arms reach, it wouldn’t matter that I was pinned helping their sister and I would’ve been able to help her faster. And while I listened to my babies cry, I would also know that their dad was listening and getting angry that a baby was crying. Not out of concern for our baby—if he were concerned he could’ve gotten up and come into the room and helped—but because a baby crying is loud and annoying and I was taking too long to make it stop.
And then I kicked him out of the house. And then I realized I actually could get my girls involved in early intervention services. Because all this time my daughters had also been failing their developmental screeners and he’d been refusing to allow them to get evaluated. And it turns out they both were 75% delayed across the board. So not only was I taking care of twin toddlers by myself, but I was also taking care of twin toddlers with the danger awareness, motor skills, communication skills, social skills, and self help skills of infants by myself. So we started all of the therapies and now I was doing the work of an occupational therapist, speech therapist, physical therapist, and behavioral therapist for two tiny humans 24/7 by myself. And the only way I could manage was to throw myself 100% into being ready and prepared.
We set our routines and schedules because my girls didn’t have the receptive language to understand verbal instructions, but they did have the pattern recognition to willingly follow along with the same set steps every day. We made our visual calendar so I could point to how the day was going to go. We prepped our meals and snacks so I could get them one handed while dealing with a meltdown. We built up our car stashes so I could handle meltdowns by myself no matter where we were and still get to where we were going looking presentable. We have our little kitchen set up so the girls can pick their plates and utensils and I can avoid the meltdown. I dress my girls in cute little coordinating outfits and feed them homemade and organic and sugar free because that’s the one tiny thing I have control over (don’t worry they will absolutely get to choose individual outfits the second they care—right now they just both love the same things so they’re happy wearing the same type of outfits in different colors. And they still get fun food too I’m making sure it doesn’t turn into an eating disorder for them type deal).
I am accused of being uptight and militant. I look uptight and militant. And impressive. I look like super mom. It looks like I’ve got it all together. But honestly, I’m hanging by a thread. I do all these things because I’m terrified. I’m terrified that if I’m not prepared, if I haven’t set the schedule and the routine and given my girls the tools to help me help them, we’ll slide back into those dark days (that I’ve honestly mostly blocked out) where my babies were crying and I just had to listen to them because I didn’t have enough hands and I wasn’t prepared ahead of time for what they’d need.
So, yeah. It’s been years since those days where my infants were crying and I just did not have enough hands and I still get a pit in my stomach at the idea of messing with my routines or my systems. I go into emergency preparedness mode. I start planning for every change months in advance to make sure I never go back to those days. It’s fine, I guess. It works. My daughters are happy and healthy and thriving. They’re getting ready to graduate from ABA therapy and move on to regular preschool with no interventions. And I do manage to do things outside our routine. As I type this we’re halfway across the US starting in my ex’s grandparents’ house for a visit because they’d never met the girls and I wasn’t sure if my ex would get around to ever making the trip. We did the three hour flight and six hour drive just the three of us. I just could do without the constant anxiety.

I am, for all intents and purposes, one of those super moms. I’m a single mother to autistic twin 3.5 year olds. We have a set schedule and a routine that we follow (and I will fight you if you try to mess with our routine or our schedule). I have a little Montessori closet/dressing station and kitchen set up that we use religiously so my girls know how to get the things we need to eat/get out the door. We have a pretty little weekly routine calendar with photo tiles I hand made. I have snacks prepared and portioned and meals for the week ready to go. My fridge is full of mason jars of rinsed and cut fruit and vegetables. My car has an emergency snack bag, a travel toy box, and a “what if all of us fell into the river and then had to go to church immediately after” disaster bag (we don’t go to church but what if). My girls attend therapy daily and they’re known as the girls with the pretty little coordinating outfits and the homemade organic snacks and the yuppie lunches and all that jazz.
And if you had told me five years ago that that’s who I and my children would be, I would have laughed in your face. If you have hinted at that future to my friends or my family or my (now ex-) husband (their father), they would have questioned your sanity. And they would have been right to do so.
But the thing is, then I had twins. I thought I was prepared. I worked in the two year old room in daycare. I could handle 15 two-year-olds solo (ratio is 8:1 but if you have two adults in a room and one adult has to change diapers, that leaves the other adult to manage the remaining 15), two should’ve been nothing. I had twins, and their dad checked out.
He didn’t leave. That probably would’ve been better. He just mentally checked out. For their first 3 months he handled one feeding a day (the one immediately after he got home from work), but then he decided he didn’t want them so I took over everything. For the next 15 months I did everything while he either went to work or sat in the house and pouted.
And all this time, I was just trying to keep my babies alive and him not upset. That’s all I wanted. But all this time I was in reaction mode. I was constantly needing four hands and having only two. I was constantly listening to one of my babies cry and knowing if I had just planned better, if I had just had their bottle or pacifier or toy ready and within arms reach, it wouldn’t matter that I was pinned helping their sister and I would’ve been able to help her faster. And while I listened to my babies cry, I would also know that their dad was listening and getting angry that a baby was crying. Not out of concern for our baby—if he were concerned he could’ve gotten up and come into the room and helped—but because a baby crying is loud and annoying and I was taking too long to make it stop.
And then I kicked him out of the house. And then I realized I actually could get my girls involved in early intervention services. Because all this time my daughters had also been failing their developmental screeners and he’d been refusing to allow them to get evaluated. And it turns out they both were 75% delayed across the board. So not only was I taking care of twin toddlers by myself, but I was also taking care of twin toddlers with the danger awareness, motor skills, communication skills, social skills, and self help skills of infants by myself. So we started all of the therapies and now I was doing the work of an occupational therapist, speech therapist, physical therapist, and behavioral therapist for two tiny humans 24/7 by myself. And the only way I could manage was to throw myself 100% into being ready and prepared.
We set our routines and schedules because my girls didn’t have the receptive language to understand verbal instructions, but they did have the pattern recognition to willingly follow along with the same set steps every day. We made our visual calendar so I could point to how the day was going to go. We prepped our meals and snacks so I could get them one handed while dealing with a meltdown. We built up our car stashes so I could handle meltdowns by myself no matter where we were and still get to where we were going looking presentable. We have our little kitchen set up so the girls can pick their plates and utensils and I can avoid the meltdown. I dress my girls in cute little coordinating outfits and feed them homemade and organic and sugar free because that’s the one tiny thing I have control over (don’t worry they will absolutely get to choose individual outfits the second they care—right now they just both love the same things so they’re happy wearing the same type of outfits in different colors. And they still get fun food too I’m making sure it doesn’t turn into an eating disorder for them type deal).
I am accused of being uptight and militant. I look uptight and militant. And impressive. I look like super mom. It looks like I’ve got it all together. But honestly, I’m hanging by a thread. I do all these things because I’m terrified. I’m terrified that if I’m not prepared, if I haven’t set the schedule and the routine and given my girls the tools to help me help them, we’ll slide back into those dark days (that I’ve honestly mostly blocked out) where my babies were crying and I just had to listen to them because I didn’t have enough hands and I wasn’t prepared ahead of time for what they’d need.

2023.06.01 08:07 catistix My (20M) roommate (22M) is ruining my relationship with my partner (18NB)
And it’s not gonna be how you think.
For context: I am autistic. I have a very low social battery, I work full time at a customer service heavy job which eats up 99% of my energy, I don’t really have any friends because I just do not have the energy to speak with them, but it’s easier speaking to my partner because they are the only person I can unmask around. Also to add, I am below the poverty line and I’m barely making it, I eat like 1-2 times a week to make up for this.
To start, I moved across the country to be with my partner. They still live at home for the time being because they’re still in school and their family isn’t very welcoming or trans-friendly (they’re not out to their family, I am FTM and have to “girlmode” whenever I go over there), I live in an apartment have for over a year. My last roommate ending up moving away so I got a new one earlier this year and at first, everything seemed okay.
Here’s the issue: It is not okay. He is a child. I don’t get more than 30 seconds of alone time if we’re both home and awake. In my room? He barges in, or knocks obsessively if it’s locked. I go outside? He follows, and if he doesn’t follow he will set out on an adventure to find me. I go to work? He visits me! I go to the laundry room? Followed. Gas station? Followed. Bathroom? Oh, I can’t even use it because me stepping outside my room is an invitation to hang out to him, I will have to wait hours to piss because he will just talk to me nonstop. He overfeeds my cats and I tried talking to him about it and he just guilt tripped me with “You hate me. You’re mad at me” so I know discussing the whole stalking thing will not work.
Not only that, but I am basically his maid. Yesterday I came home from work to a pile of chicken nuggets on the couch (my cats literally roam free, that is so unsafe) and a bottle of ketchup wedged between the cushions. He’s stained pretty much everything with hair dye or some sort of food. He steals my dishes and doesn’t clean them and they pile up im the sink to the point some stuff has molded before. I pay for everything like toilet paper and trash bags and if I run out of money and can’t pay for them, he just throws trash on the ground (he already does that with trash bags present, to be fair) or uses paper towels as toilet paper all while buying himself snacks at the gas station, so I know he has some money.
He is eating at my energy. I am a full time employee and a full time parent to a man who is older than me. By the time I’m finally alone and he’s gone to work, I’m 101% tuckered out and cannot speak even if I tried. This is genuinely fucking with my relationship, because I don’t have any energy to speak to my partner. I just get irritable and angry. I literally started relentlessly screaming at my charger last night when it fell out of the charging hole because I was so frustrated with work + my roommate, I just cannot do it. I cannot balance all 3. The issue is, I need this roommate or I will be on the streets, same with my job. I cannot break the lease because it is 2x the rent and I don’t even make enough for my half of the rent, I am consistently in the negatives.
My relationship is completely fine outside of this. We were doing great. Then my roommate moved in. And I cannot get my mind off anything else, as you’ll see from my post history, because it’s almost 24/7. He works nights so I don’t even get alone time because I’m sleeping most of the time he’s working. This is genuinely ruining our relationship, my partner has expressed sadness that we rarely talk but they understand the situation (They despise my roommate and would totally confront him if I gave them permission, but seeing as I live with this guy I don’t wanna cause stuff).
I don’t know what to do. I guess I need advice in both relationship aspects, but mainly with my partner because I genuinely cannot confront people even when I want to, I go nonverbal as a symptom of my autism and I already know he guilt trips me if I try to communicate. I’m genuinely losing my sanity. I have become the most angry and frustrated person on the planet and I’ve never had an angry bone in my body before this. I just want my relationship to be okay again but I know if I talk to my partner more than I can, I’ll lash out, so my only option is to just not talk to them but that’s bad too. Please help
TLDR: Roommate doesn’t give me any privacy and basically treats me like a maid/parent and it’s destroying my energy along with my job, and I have no energy for my partner anymore but I’m out of options

2023.06.01 08:06 ignoredWeirdo AITA I keep touching stray cats?
Ok this is a weird one. I (NB21) live with my parents (F56 M57) and my brother (M18) in a house in the middle of a mountain (there are a lot more houses). In front of our house there's a colony of around 20+ cats that are constantly being checked by one of our neighbors, who's part of a rescue program, I think. Most cats are scaredy and will flee if you get too close, but there are a couple who like human interaction, and I ADORE them. When I go out I greet them briefly and I get in my parent's car (I can drive, but they insist on them being present when I do). It's a quick "Hi beauttiful!" And some rubs on my leg from the cat. I've done this enough times for it to be a habit, and it makes me sad when I'm unable to talk to them.
Now to the problem itself.
My mom HATES this.
We have a cat, which I brought behind their backs, and she's healthy and happy, and my mom is worried I will get her sick because of the contact with other cats. We used to have another one (also brought by me), but he caught a deadly decease after he escaped home, and died half a year ago. It was very dramatic and it has scarred my mom, since she LOVED that cat, despite him being a chaotic fuck. I understand her point of view, and I would stop...IF I DIDN'T WORK AT A VET.
I have been studying to be a vet assistant for the past year (and I will do a different course next year to have a superior title on the field) and I am doing some unpaid work hours (300 h to be more exact) as a part of the program. I've already completed half of it, so I'd say I've been in contact with a LOT of sick animals. I have a lot of knowledge of diseases and how the transmission works, and I have a bit of an obsession disinfecting my hands and body overall, so I'd say I know pretty well how to avoid killing off my cat because of a disease.
It just seems SO STUPID. I just got yelled at for touching a cat that's healthy BEFORE heading to work, where the sick ones are. As in, I was not going to go inside my house, neither see my cat for about 6 hours.
I would understand if it were the first time and she listened to me when I told her that there's no way our cat catches anything from that, but I've tried to explain multiple times, but they NEVER listen. They say I know nothing and that I need to do what they say and that I am risking their health.
It's always been like this, no matter what I do, I am never good enough for them to actually trust me.
So yeah, AITAH?
TLDR; I, a vet student, touched a stray cat before heading to work and got yelled at for risking my cat's health.

2023.06.01 08:06 mayblum The Tale of Two Hospitals
So I scrapd my knee on some rusted aluminium sheet, it wasnt too bad, but the wound did draw some blood. After cleaning up and putting some ointment, I went to office. There is this big hospital near my office. It is a posh chain of hospitals and head quartered in Karnataka. I wont name them.
I show the wound to the nurse and tell her I need a tetanus injection. I am told I need a prescription and for that I have to make a hospital book and pay about Rs 500, besides waiting in queue to see the doc. So I came back to office and on my way home, I went to St Philomena's Hospital.
They had a duty doctor who immediately told the nurse to give me the injection without any payment reciept. After the shot I was told to go to the next room which was the cash counter and pay the large bank breaking sum of Rs 80/-. I came back to show them the receipt and they just glanced at it and told me to keep the would clean. They did offer to dress it, but I waived it off. Guess who was concerned about me and my well being and who was not. No prizes for guessing. End of the tale of two hospitals.

2023.06.01 08:05 tanning-tanner11 My horrible mother in law is homeless and my wife and I don't care
I'm a 25M and married to a 26F named Carol, and her mother, Danielle, who is 61, is a complete bag of garbage, and that's the nicest thing to say.
During Carol's childhood, Danielle would always belittle Carol and manipulate her into the most BS stuff, mostly always claiming that her father abandoned them in CO to seek fame and fortune in CA and refusing to pay child support, whereas she would actually spend said child support on her own self, buying books and clothes and not supporting her daughter. Danielle also changed Carol's last name on social security to Danielle's last name when she was a little kid, which made it incredibly difficult for Carol to find a job as an adult because she was an illegal alien to the US government. That meant she had 1 last name on her birth certificate, and a different last name on her social security card. Danielle also had a very crap job that didn't pay the best and had to get an apartment with Carol under Carol's name because Danielle had shit credit and Carol had a 0 credit score because she was 18 at the time and didn't have her own bills to pay. Danielle kept getting on Carol's case about not having a job, but Carol said she couldn't because of the name issue. They ended up getting evicted due to failure to pay rent because Danielle's job wasn't enough to pay for a luxury apartment and had to move in with grandma. Danielle later lost her job during covid and has been unemployed ever since. There's way too many scenarios about how Danielle would take advantage of her own daughter but I don't wanna bore y'all with the details.
Anyway onto the story.
Back in late 2021, while me and Carol were engaged, she wanted to join the US navy. She got her name changed to her father's last name on social security to match her birth certificate and even gave her recruiter child custody papers to prove her name. She enlisted, got through basic, completed her A schooling, and got her orders to serve on a ship. We got married in September 2022 before she was shipped to VA for her new orders.
While Carol was serving, and I spent time packing my belongings to move out to VA myself, I learned that Danielle was going to therapy to possibly move on, or so I imagined. I tried so damn hard to stay away from her during that time but she was always bugging me wondering why Carol wasn't talking to her during the day. I let her know on repeated occasions that she has no cell service on her ship, but to her, it was just one of those in-one-ear-and-right-out-the-other things.
I eventually made it to VA in December 2022 to be with Carol. We have been ignoring all of Danielle's calls for a while.
Fast forward to April.
Carol gets a text from Danielle asking her to call her to talk. They talk on the phone for a while and Carol learns that her grandma is not doing well. I also get my brothers HS graduation invitation in the mail and I wanna see him graduate in May, which means Carol wants to see her grandma because she fears that she may not make it to the end of 2023.
Danielle seemed to be super nice and Carol and I both thought she changed because of all the therapy she had been getting. So last week, we fly back to CO and Danielle loans us her car while we're there and was being way too nice to us like a decent human.
We see my brother walk across the stage and Carol gets to see her grandma. While there, we learn that grandma wants to move into a "more safer place" with Carol's aunt because of her health. And Danielle has to move somewhere else because, in her eyes, "everyone doesn't wanna take me in because the family doesn't like me". We told her that if we weren't living in a 650 square foot 1 bedroom apartment on the other side of the country, then we could help her. Again, she starts being even nicer to us while still in CO. I even warned Carol that her being nice could mean something bad in the future, given her past behavior. Carol agreed.
A few days after we flew back to VA, which was 5 days ago, Carol gets a text from Danielle saying that she's gonna have to live in her car because nobody will help her in. Carol asked her why she can't get a job and get her own apartment, and she said that "I can't get a job at my age", and "it's been too long", and "it's very expensive to live on your own, especially in CO". Carol told her that we unfortunately can't help her because 1, we live in a small apartment, and 2, we live 7 states away on the other side of the country.
So now here we are today. I'm at work and I get a call from Carol saying that she needs to be with me. I ask if everything's OK, because I can tell she's not. She said she would talk about it when she got there.
30 minutes later, she shows up and I go on my lunch break with her. She tells me that her mom literally asked for $1000 to help her move from CO to VA so she could be with us. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!! We told her multiple times we couldnt help her because we dont have that kinda room. We let alone dont have $1000 to just give away because we live paycheck-to-paycheck. I was so flabbergasted! And Carol told me that her being super super nice in recent times was way too good to be true (which is what I felt would happen). She either didn't get the therapy she needed, or she lied. Idk what the case was about that because there's no proof.
I wasn't around for this part, but Carol and Danielle argued over the phone, more like cussing each other out persé. Danielle was upset with Carol for not providing a home for her when she did it for her 1st 20 years of life and now Carol can't "return the favor". Carol then told her mother, "JUST FUCK OFF ALREADY!" before hanging up and blocking her completely.
Danielle is now homeless and living in her nissan sentra, but we couldn't care less. All those years Carol had to endure due to Danielle's entitled and narcissistic behavior is now biting her in the ass, and nobody wants to live with her because of this, because that bitch only cares about herself and knows what she's doing is wrong and doesn't give a shit. I personally and honestly don't care if she dies. I will piss on her grave when she dies

Danielle seemed to be super nice and Carol and I both thought she changed because of all the therapy she had been getting. So last week, we fly back to CO and Danielle loans us her car while we're there and was being way too nice to us like a decent human.
We see my brother walk across the stage and Carol gets to see her grandma. While there, we learn that grandma wants to move into a "more safer place" with Carol's aunt because of her health. And Danielle has to move somewhere else because, in her eyes, "everyone doesn't wanna take me in because the family doesn't like me". We told her that if we weren't living in a 650 square foot 1 bedroom apartment on the other side of the country, then we could help her. Again, she starts being even nicer to us while still in CO. I even warned Carol that her being nice could mean something bad in the future, given her past behavior. Carol agreed.
A few days after we flew back to VA, which was 5 days ago, Carol gets a text from Danielle saying that she's gonna have to live in her car because nobody will help her in. Carol asked her why she can't get a job and get her own apartment, and she said that "I can't get a job at my age", and "it's been too long", and "it's very expensive to live on your own, especially in CO". Carol told her that we unfortunately can't help her because 1, we live in a small apartment, and 2, we live 7 states away on the other side of the country.
So now here we are today. I'm at work and I get a call from Carol saying that she needs to be with me. I ask if everything's OK, because I can tell she's not. She said she would talk about it when she got there.
30 minutes later, she shows up and I go on my lunch break with her. She tells me that her mom literally asked for $1000 to help her move from CO to VA so she could be with us. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!! We told her multiple times we couldnt help her because we dont have that kinda room. We let alone dont have $1000 to just give away because we live paycheck-to-paycheck. I was so flabbergasted! And Carol told me that her being super super nice in recent times was way too good to be true (which is what I felt would happen). She either didn't get the therapy she needed, or she lied. Idk what the case was about that because there's no proof.
I wasn't around for this part, but Carol and Danielle argued over the phone, more like cussing each other out persé. Danielle was upset with Carol for not providing a home for her when she did it for her 1st 20 years of life and now Carol can't "return the favor". Carol then told her mother, "JUST FUCK OFF ALREADY!" before hanging up and blocking her completely.
Danielle is now homeless and living in her nissan sentra, but we couldn't care less. All those years Carol had to endure due to Danielle's entitled and narcissistic behavior is now biting her in the ass, and nobody wants to live with her because of this, because that bitch only cares about herself and knows what she's doing is wrong and doesn't give a shit. I personally and honestly don't care if she dies. I will piss on her grave when she dies
2023.06.01 08:05 lagoonaris I found out retroactively that my ex cheated on me during the relationship
If I would have to describe my ex in as few words as possible it would be "broken promises". THe amount of times where he promised me something (a date, a concert, a gift...) and then found a reason why it didn't happen (overtime, sickness, "stuck in toll"...) was more often than I could count on two hands in the short span of 1.5 years of dating.
The breaking point of the relationship was when he planned a week in London for us which he too cancelled last minute. Naive me would have overlooked it like everything else if the week in question wouldn't have been Christmas week and I had to tell my whole family in advance I would not celebrate with them, only to join festivities last minute. I was quite embarrassed about it and decided that I was sick of always getting stood up. Still, even while ending the relationship I still liked him enough to want to stay friends. Well, he ghosted me with the excuse that he joined the army and that was it.
It's been 5 years since then and only last weekend I heard a very dear friends perspective on the whole relationship and a side to the story I was not aware of: there was another girl.
To make a "short story long", back at the time I was deep into playing a MMO. I got him to playing it as well. We were both in the same guild together with some other friends and acquaintances of mine. My dear friend was in there, as well as said other girl H. My ex and H quickly became friends and ran a lot of content in the MMO together, sometimes even content I had waited to do so I could play it with him. Never did I realise that H was messing with my relationship behind my back. My dear friend had realized it though and had told her off multiple times, warning her to not do it.
Now, one of the many broken promises of my ex was an orchestral concert to said MMO. It's the only promise I am really hung up on after all those years. It was a very rare time that the orchestral tour made it to Europe at all and I had planned to buy tickets, no matter what. Instead he bought them, even sent a picture of them to me as proof they arrived. I was so happy to see my favorite songs performed live, even pulled out my old fancy prom dress and everything - and then he cancelled. Said he has to work overtime, the tickets are at his living place an hour away from work and there was no way he could reach the tickets and give them to me so I could go with someone else. I was heartbroken, cried the whole night and even after all those years I am still sad about having missed the event. The tour hasn't been to Europe since and who knows when they will ever be again.
Last weekend, I met my dear friend and the topic came down to H and how she was a source of many problems back then, including the ruin of my relationship. My friend had elaborated and then said that at the time of the concert, H was not only visiting my country but also the same area me and my ex were living in. And the reason he had stood me up for the concert was, because he went with her instead. Since then I can't think about anything but that knowledge.
As I said, the relationship ended a few years ago. He since then ghosted me, I no longer have contact with H or that guild in general. My feelings for my ex are long gone. There is no reason for me to be sad or mad or anything about this whole affair. Yet here I am and I can't really stop thinking about it. What promises did he break because of lazy excuses? How many did he break while telling the truth? How many of those were because he did not want to tell me the truth?
When we broke up, I said to him that I can'T continue the relationship as is, but I would be open for reconciliation. He accepted the break up calmy with a "As I am now I can't be a man worthy of your love. You deserve better." Those words stuck with me. I thought he just appreciated me that much. Now they leave a bitter taste as well. Maybe they were his way of admitting to his own faults of cheating and lying. I don't know. I probably will never know. It sucks.
I don't know where else to put all these thoughts and feelings. I don't even know if I could get a conversation out of this. But it did feel cathargic to write this out somewhere. If you read until here, I thank you for your time.
People sometimes suck.

2023.06.01 08:04 Personal_Echidna2534 I found myself allowing my long term boyfriend to mistreat and disrespect me, because his mother has been battling cancer for the past 4 years.
I’ve (f29) been with my boyfriend (m36) for 8 years and for half of the time we’ve been together, his mother received a terrible incurable mesothelioma diagnosis. I put every one of my needs aside and still do and that wasn’t/isnt the issue. I have always made sure he’s as comfortable as he can be. I tried to make him feel incredibly loved and tried to understand the new normal and how I could make life just even a little more easy for him. He was often short with me or snapped at me but then would apologize and say “it’s the stress from what’s going on in my family.” I always understood. I found myself saying “sorry” for nothing, walking on eggshells and he would get aggressive verbally, then apologize. I would cry and remember what life was like before. I repeated “be strong for him!” To myself. “Someone going through this needs people there for them no matter what”
This past year one of my little sisters (19) had a terrifying psychotic break. And was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. She was found in the snow with no clothes on and bare feet. She was on a busy street, in the city of my home town on Christmas Eve of 2022. And even now over a year later she’s still in the hospital. When I told my boyfriend over the phone he told me “everything would be okay.” But when I cried longer than he was comfortable with he got frustrated and blurted out “At least she’s not dying like my mom! Be thankful” I was shocked and said “you’re right” but hurried off the call. Both of our families are now going through awful things and I find myself telling him nothing. Last night I was venting (I don’t with him anymore) and I told him (over the phone again) that she had a bad incident TW: she hurt herself. And he said “she’s gonna be fine” in a frustrated tone that sounded like someone at the end of their rope. I hurried off the phone again. The beautiful, happy, funny, silly love we had together couldn’t withstand family pain. I don’t know why he’s holding on (I’m afraid to ask) but for me I look at old photos/videos/messages and think of everything we planned and how much we just fit perfectly. I’m holding on to that last thread of my past life with him and who he used to be. I think he has said too many hurtful things to me (that I have let slide because of what he’s going through) for me to ever look at him the same way again. Even though he says that he needs me. I don’t feel like I’m helping him anymore and he’s definitely not helping me.

LeJuan announces the names of the other competitors for his team, who are revealed to be General Wade and Guerrilla God, the Soldiers of Misfortune. A brawl ensues throughout the main event, leading to a low blow from Ivan Markov and Brother Julius running a distraction, allowing LeJuan Jones to win the match with a Game Winner on Yang. After the match, General Wade and Guerrilla God double-team Keith Yang and double-powerbomb him through a table. General Wade, Guerrilla God, along with LeJuan Jones and Ivan Markov stand victorious over the prone Keith Yang. The moment of silence ends and we open with a 30-second intro highlighting all of the stars of CPWA as The Roots' "BOOM" plays in the background. The intro ends with Shelton Jordan holding the CPWA Heavyweight Championship belt over his head. Pyro goes off in the arena for a few seconds, followed by cheering from the crowd. Brian Kinsley: We welcome to CPWA Octane! We are coming to you live from Seattle, Washington! Brian Kinsley, Anthony Harris, and Sir Samuel Stewart, and we have a fantastic show for you tonight! We continue with the Super Junior Carnival, plus The Mortician will be in tag team action, and our main event, Shelton and Deron "Ron" Jordan take on General Wade and Guerrilla God, the Soldiers of Misfortune. Let's get right to the action! We cut to the ring. Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for... Crowd: ONE FALL! GACKT's "Redemption" plays in the arena Announcer: Introducing first, from Osaka, Japan, she is Shiori Yoshimura. Brian Kinsley: Shiori Yoshimura won the CPWA Women's International Championship from "The Iron Maiden" Mary Addams at Fatal Alliance in what seems to be the end of their rivalry. Sir Samuel Stewart: Just because you say it's the end of something, doesn't mean it won't pick back up. I'm sure "The Iron Maiden" will be waiting to get her shot again, even if she has her sights set on going for the CPWA Women's Championship. Johann Sebastian Bach's Air on G String plays in the arena. Announcer: And her opponent, from the posh hills of the Hamptons, she is Priscilla Pierce. Brian Kinsley: We haven't seen Priscilla Pierce in a few months, and that's because she was touring Japan and Puerto Rico. Anthony Harris: She could've sent us a postcard or two about her time away from here, but now she's got a big test ahead of her. Match 1: Shiori Yoshimura vs. Priscilla Pierce A decent, if not solid opener that saw Priscilla Pierce get some offense early, but Shiori shrugged it off, went on the offense herself, and didn't look back. Give Priscilla credit for weathering the storm and even trying to fight back, but it wasn't enough as Shiori ended the match with a Spinning Bison Bomb. 3 out of 5 stars. We cut backstage and we see Kevin Meyers interviewing Rory Irvine. Rory says that his first-round victory against Kelly Lawton was no fluke and he plans to go all the way just to prove that he belongs with the best in the Cruiserweight division. Rory then heads out for his match. We cut to the locker room area and we see Brother Julius approaching the Soldiers of Misfortune. Brother Julius tells General Wade and Guerrilla God that he has the plan to eliminate the Jordans and Keith Yang altogether, courtesy of "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones. General Wade tells Brother Julius that he and Guerrilla God are all ears. We cut back to the ring. Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a quarterfinal match for the CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament. The O'Reillys and Paddyhats' "Barrels of Whiskey" plays in the arena. Announcer: Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland, he is Rory Irvine. Brian Kinsley: Rory Irvine has been riding a high wave of momentum ever since beating CPWA Kelly Lawton in the first round of the Super Junior Carnival. Sir Samuel Stewart: The young lad definitely is feeling himself as the youth would say, but let's hope it doesn't come back to bite him. 80s Synth Track Nightscapes plays in the arena. Announcer: And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, he is one-half of StarrVice, Mark Starr. Brian Kinsley: Mark Starr and MAGNUM Koyama had a decent match but it was ruined by the interference of Silver Eyes. Anthony Harris: Then after that, Silver Eyes and MAGNUM Koyama were brawling thereafter. I'm sure these two are gonna bash in the ring again. Match 2: CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament: Quarterfinal: Rory Irvine vs. Mark Starr Another decent match that saw some high-flying, technical holds, and a lot of hard-hitting striking. Mark Starr had control of the match, keeping Irvine grounded. Irvine started to make some offense of his own, but Starr kept him at bay. As the match ramped up, CPWA Cruiserweight Champion Kelly Lawton looked to get even against Rory, only to knock out Starr by accident. Rory would get the upper hand on Lawton, knocking him out and hitting the Celtic Crucifix Pin on Starr to win the match. Rory Irvine advances to the semi-finals where he will take on Money Mark or Owen Benoit-Jericho. 3 out of 5 stars. We cut to a graphic hyping the other quarterfinal matches of the Super Junior Carnival Tournament, including "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon taking on Steve Odenkirk, Ricky Vice taking on Devon Gatlin-Tyson, and Money Mark taking on Owen Benoit-Jericho, which is next. ***Commercial Break*** We come back from commercial break and we see Kelly Lawton groggily walking backstage. He bumps into Lord Phillip Byron IV, who scolds him for not getting his payback on Rory Irvine. "The Iron Maiden" Mary Addams approaches Kelly and tells him better luck next time. We go to the locker room area and we see Shelton and Deron "Ron" Jordan getting ready for their main event tag match. Shelton says that he wants payback for what the Soldiers of Misfortune did to Keith Yang. Ron agrees and says that the Soldiers of Misfortune will get beaten up tonight. We cut back to the ring. Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a quarterfinal match for the CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament. Almighty 3's "To The Other MC's" plays in the arena. Announcer: Introducing first, from Opa-Locka, Florida, he is Money Mark! Brian Kinsley: Money Mark pulled off a miracle against Adam Odenkirk last week on Octane. He managed to survive the onslaught from the first round. Sir Samuel Stewart: Unfortunately, there is more onslaught on the way, and it's not gonna be pretty. Blood Brothers' "Replica" plays in the arena Announcer: And his opponent, representing The Commonwealth, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, he is Owen Benoit-Jericho. Brian Kinsley: Owen Benoit-Jericho had one of the best matches, if not the best match of the first round as he defeated Angel Vega. Anthony Harris: That was a hard-hitting match and it could've gone either way. Let's see how this match pans out. Match 2: CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament: Quarterfinal: Money Mark vs. Owen Benoit-Jericho This was the match of the night so far, and perhaps the best match of the quarterfinals. Owen took control of the match, using his amateur grappling and technical skills to ground Money Mark. Owen then used his submission holds to weaken Money Mark, only for him to survive and reach the ropes. Owen's relentlessness continued with German suplexes, but Money Mark managed to flip out of the fifth German suplex, leading to his offense. Money Mark was flying all over the ring, hitting Owen with a series of dropkicks, hurricanranas, and head scissor takedowns. Owen tried to go for the cross-face, but Money Mark hit the Moneymaker to get the win. Money Mark advances to the semi-final to face Rory Irvine. 4 out of 5 stars. We then see a one-minute hype package for The Mortician. The hype package ends and we cut back to the ring. Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 25-minute time limit. An organ cover to Runaway Casket plays in the arena. Announcer: Introducing first, from Resting Peace Funeral Home, he is the CPWA Television Champion The Mortician! Brian Kinsley: The Mortician made quite a surprising return at Fatal Alliance when he not only challenged for the CPWA Television Championship, but also won it! Sir Samuel Stewart: I knew I felt an eerie chill in the arena for some reason and there he was. Hp Boyz - Engineers. plays in the arena. Announcer: His tag team partner, from Maui, Hawaii, he is Kahuna Maiavia. Brian Kinsley: Kahuna Maiavia has kept busy in his native Hawaii, training local wrestlers and touring New Zealand. Sir Samuel Stewart: He told me he found some promising trainees in Christchurch and Auckland. Hope to see them in CPWA one day. Nu Breed's "Florida" plays in the arena Announcer: And their opponent, introducing first, accompanied by his alligator Sunshine, from the Sunshine State, he is the CPWA Television Champion, "Florida Man" Gary Strange Gary Strange takes out a microphone. Gary Strange: Now before I go in that ring and make mince meat out of the both of you to feed Sunshine, I have a tag team partner that I think you are familiar with, Mortician, and just like me, he's seeing red. The lights in the arena suddenly turn red as Aka-Manto Chase Theme plays in the arena. Aka-Manto rushes through the crowd and attacks The Mortician. Match 4: The Mortician and Kahuna Maiavia vs. "Florida Man" Gary Strange and Aka-Manto This felt more like a tornado tag team match rather than an actual tag team match as all four competitors brawled all through ringside. Gary Strange would isolate Kahuna Maiavia away from Mortician, allowing Aka-Manto to beat the living daylights out of him. After an utter brawl throughout ringside, Aka-Manto won the match with Redrum on the Mortician to get the win. 3 out of 5 stars. After the arena lights go out and we hear an ominous female voice. Ominous Female Voice: Pretty Boy...oh Pretty Boy...punish...them...all! Glitter Wasteland's "Cold War (Nightcrawler Remix)" plays in the arena as Pretty Boy makes his way to the ring. Pretty Boy glares at Aka-Manto and then at the prone Mortician. Pretty Boy and Aka-Manto viciously assault Mortician. Pretty Boy then performs a chokeslam and tombstone piledriver on Mortician. We cut to a graphic hyping the other quarterfinal matches of the Super Junior Carnival Tournament, including "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon taking on Steve Odenkirk, Ricky Vice taking on Devon Gatlin-Tyson, and the main event between Shelton and Deron "Ron" Jordan taking on the Soldiers of Misfortune. ***Commercial Break*** We come back from commercial break and we see Elijah and Cedric Jordan talking to each other as they are on their way to meeting Shelton and Ron. Brother Julius approaches them with a "message" from LeJuan Jones. Brother Julius slaps Cedric as he and Elijah chase Brother Julius. The Soldiers of Misfortune ambush Elijah and Cedric, knocking them out. We cut to the ring. Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a quarterfinal match for the CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament. Rain's "It's Raining" begins to play in the arena Announcer: Introducing first, from Seoul, South Korea, he is one half of the CPWA Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon! Brian Kinsley: "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon put on a stellar match against Mexico's El Colibri in what was surely a high-flying battle. Sir Samuel Stewart: I swore if I blinked even once, I would've missed something crazy. Those two put on a tremendous match. Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" plays in the arena. Announcer: And his opponent, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he is Steve Odenkirk. Brian Kinsley: Steve Odenkirk put on a masterful performance against Sharnaz Khan in the first round and looks do so again. Anthony Harris: He's got skills on the mat, and he can even surprise you with his high-flying. Watch out for him if he makes it all the way. Match 5: CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament: Quarterfinal: "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon vs. Steve Odenkirk There were lots of technical exchanges between the two competitors, a bit of anything you can do, I can do better. It was evenly matched early in the contest, but "The Korean Idol" took over the match and didn't look back. Han Sang-Hoon hit the K-Pop Drop on Steve to get the win. "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon advances to the semi-finals where he will take on either Ricky Vice or Devon Gatlin-Tyson. 3 out of 5 stars. Backstage, we see Shelton and Ron getting past several referees and road agents as they look at the prone bodies of Elijah and Cedric. Shelton and Ron ask the referees and road agents what happened, to which none of the referees and road agents knew what occurred. Unbeknownst to everyone, "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones and Brother Julius were standing in the background, watching everything unfold. We cut to the ring. Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a quarterfinal match for the CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament. 80s Synth Track Nightscapes plays in the arena. Announcer: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, he is one-half of StarrVice, Ricky Vice. Brian Kinsley: Earlier, Mark Starr could not reach the semifinals, but Ricky Vice may have a chance to do so. Anthony Harris: I think he has what it takes, but so does his opponent. Leo Arnaud's "Bulger's Dream" plays in the arena Announcer: Introducing first, representing The Olympians, from Jacksonville, Florida, Devon Gatlin-Tyson. Brian Kinsley: Devon Gatlin-Tyson is still making a big statement that he belongs at the top of the Cruiserweight division. He defeated "The Hi-Fli Kid" Jerome Evans in the first round, albeit with help from Miles Orozco and Chip Day. Sir Samuel Stewart: There you go speaking hearsay, Brian. Jerome Evans got distracted and that allowed DGT to get the victory. He does allow me to call him DGT right? Match 6: CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament: Quarterfinal: Ricky Vice vs. Devon Gatlin-Tyson Earlier in the night, Money Mark and Owen Benoit-Jericho had a stellar match, but this one stole the show. Both Ricky and DGT were pulling off hurricanranas, poison ranas, headscissor takedowns, and even diving planchas on each other. The intensity was truly ramped up by the number of striking and counterstriking attacks both competitors were pulling off. Ricky looked to have the match won the Vice Lock, but Miguel Sandoval Jr. distracted the referee on behalf of DGT. This allowed Gatlin-Tyson to comeback and surprise Ricky with a cradle pin attempt, leading to a split-second DDT to get the win. Devon Gatlin-Tyson advances to the semifinals, where he will face "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon. FIVE STARS!!!!! We cut to a graphic hyping the main event between Shelton and Deron "Ron" Jordan taking on the Soldiers of Misfortune. ***Commercial Break*** Brian Kinsley: Next week, CPWA will be in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for Octane. The semifinals for the CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament are set as Rory Irvine takes on Money Mark, and "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon takes on Devon Gatlin Tyson. Plus, The Mortician will be in tag team action as he teams up with Mangod against Pretty Boy and Aka-Manto. Announcer: Our main event is scheduled for... Crowd: ONE FALL!!! Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "The Creator" plays in the arena. Announcer: Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, the team of Shelton, Deron "Ron" The Jordans. Shyne's "Bad Boyz" plays in the arena. Announcer: And their opponents, from the Trenches, the team of General Wade and Guerrilla God, the Soldiers of Misfortune. Main Event: The Jordans (Shelton and Deron "Ron") vs. The Soldiers of Misfortune (General Wade and Guerrilla God) As great as the rest of the card was, this match was a blemish in the form of a not so good, but not so terrible match. All four competitors beat the living crap out of each other. At one point, the Jordans had the upper hand, only for Ivan Markov interfered in the match, taking out Ron.

2023.06.01 08:00 Background-Face-7623 Is it reasonable for me to feel upset that my partner lied to me about who they met up with?
For the sake of privacy I will be changing minor identifiable details.
My partner(25) and I (24) have been in a relationship for a little less than a year (we hit a year in September) after we first split the previous year. We were in a serious relationship for 3 years and we originally split up because he believed I was too controlling and he wanted to be friends with whoever he wanted. I admit that I did not approve of their friends (group of 4) because I had only met them twice briefly during the 3 years we dated, and they were very different from us. They were the type of people who partied a lot in college and were always drinking/on drugs. My partner would become a completely different person from the person I knew when they were around their friends and my partner never wanted to bring me because “they have known them since they were kids and didn’t want me to feel left out because they have inside jokes.” I was hurt by this and would get a pit in my stomach every time my partner was with them. During our split all my friends came through for me for the most part except for my supposed best friend. She (now 22) had been private messaging my partner and when my partner expressed that they were upset over my behavior, she suggested that we split up. My partner ultimately agreed after going back and forth, and they dumped me the following week. My best friend kept all of this from me and acted supportive for a couple of days until she informed me that my partner had invited her to the beach with a couple of mutual friends. I begged her to not go as it had been 2 days since the split and I needed her support since I was the one who was dumped. She went anyways and didn’t answer any of my calls so in an angry teary rage, 22 year old me, blocked her number and instagram. This wasn’t the first time she had done something like this as at the beginning of our relationship she also kissed my partner “as a joke” and would constantly try to make me the third wheel. She would be mad anytime I touched him or he touched me and would wedge herself between us. I had finally snapped and if she was truly sorry she would’ve never gotten involved in the first place. She then proceeded to block me on everything else, from Snapchat to Gmail and went as far as to block me on MINECRAFT. She showed no remorse and I was heartbroken to have lost both my best friend and my partner within the same week. My partner and I eventually went from FWB to getting back together officially after a year. As far as I knew, my partner had not seen my ex best friend in almost a year and a half and when we first got back together, they promised not to see this person again. They have also since, parted ways with the friend group and we were on good terms. Fast forward to this year and I am over what this person did to me and my significant other. I think it’s in the past and while I have personally gotten over all of it, I have no intentions of pursuing a friendship with them We have many mutuals, so on occasion we are invited to the same gatherings. The times we have been invited to these gatherings and I’m able to make it, I haven’t seen her but I’m told she was invited. I just assume she still holds resentment but don’t care enough to look into it. My partner and I have different schedules, so we don’t see each other for more than a week for the time being. Yesterday I gave them a call after coming home from work, and they casually mention they are meeting up with 2 of our friends for a day trip out of state today. I’m thrown for a loop since my partner has a good memory and almost always lets me know what they are doing as soon as plans are made. It seemed strange so I made a small fuss over it and almost asked if I could come but I didn’t want to intrude on these plans since my partner likes the time alone with friends ands doesn’t really get out much. I had the day off so it seemed strange my partner didn’t ask me to come since we were both off and we usually spend those days together. The day of the trip arrives and I go about my day and occasionally check my partner’s location to see what they are up to so I can send short videos or thoughts that cross my mind. At first they are responsive. I decide to run errands and do a couple of more things including a quick therapy session. After my session I decide to scroll through Instagram and I notice my partner has posted an Instagram story. I open it and see both the friend they mentioned, but a blur of a 3rd person before the story ends. I replay it and hold down before it fully blurs and I see none other than my ex best friend. I don’t bother thinking and swipe up to reply “wow.” The more I sat and thought, the more I grew angry. They lied to me. I send them 2 more texts asking why they broke my trust and that they should come see me if they want any chance of repairing our relationship. I admit I could’ve worded it better but I was hurt and could not think straight. I didn’t hear back until hours later when my partner arrived home and was alone. I expressed my thoughts and they called me manipulative and selfish saying that they spend all their time with me and sees no problem in hanging out with other people. I tearfully explain that I’m more hurt about the lying, lack of communication, and the boundaries I set being broken. They reply back that they knew I would react this way and that it would’ve resulted in the same fight. I disagree and say that I should’ve been invited by them because I don’t trust her and while I am over what she did, I am not comfortable with my partner befriending someone who’s friendship broke us apart the first time. They then say they never get to go out with their friends and has missed out on previous outings because my bff was going to be there. I ask why they hadn’t communicated this to me and they told me that since they said no, it didn’t feel important. I feel that they resent me for it. I tell my partner that they can go out with friends but they are mutual friends and i feel as though this day trip could’ve easily involved me since another mutual had brought their girlfriend who was not part of the group. My partner then says the plans were made by our mutuals and when they found out ex best friend would be there, they knew I would tell them not to go so my partner chose to hide the people who were attending. We argue back and forth and I claim that I’m over this person and my partner says I’m not because of how I reacted and that our mutuals don’t know that so that’s why I wasn’t invited in the first place. I should be taking it up with the mutuals instead of taking it out on them. I communicate That I did last year during an event BFF and I were both invited to but bff chose to no longer attend. My partner says nothing and tells me they are tired and will see me tomorrow. I want to make things right and don’t want to make them feel as though I’m controlling but I also don’t feel comfortable with this friendship they want to pursue. I want to give them space to spend time with friends but they are my friends too and I see them less often than my partner. If it’s a large group outing I would like to be included as well. Is it possible for us to compromise?

2023.06.01 07:59 Internal_Chef_1240 Pet friendly rent in Vaud
Hi everyone. How easy is it to find a pet friendly apartment anywhere in Vaud that would accept me + 4 cats? I am moving in by myself, got a job offer in Geneva and would have to officially start in 6 weeks. I have tried to re-home them where I live right now but no luck so far. Do you think they will ask for a lot more based on this? Is anyone going to even consider me? Also what is the best way to do an apartment hunt? Are there agencies that do that for you? Or do you have to look by yourself? I speak English but also a bit of French. Should I try with my bad French or go with English when contacting these landlords?

2023.06.01 07:58 Sashi-Dice Oh, parents....
So, I teach at a private HS, very small. One of our policies is that if a student knows they are going to miss school (so, pre-scheduled events like Drs appointments, or trips, or what have you), the STUDENT is responsible for seeing each teacher IN ADVANCE and having each teacher sign a 'preplanned absence form'. It has a section for each period of the day, and each one has four boxes - date, class missed, what work will be missed and what work student is required to do to make up the missed class - and a signature slot for the teacher. It's simple, keeps the kids on track, and it actually works pretty well.
This is covered in our student handbook. It's in the parent information packet we send home at the start of each year. We remind parents AND students of this every last time a student is signed out of school - our school secretary actually checks the filed forms for every non-emergency sign out (she's a miracle given human form, just saying...).
I've got a student who's been with us for multiple years. This student has some significant medical challenges, which result in a lot of doctor's appointments; I have literally signed SEVENTEEN of these planned absence forms for this kid this year (I checked my email - our secretary emails the scan of each form to all relevant teachers). But, today, student had to leave early for yet more appointments - and did not see teachers about this ahead of time, so no form was filled out. On the way out, school secretary reminded dad, politely, that the preplanned absence form had not been filled out, and that it was the student's responsibility to do so next time (not that there's a lot of term left ... we're done next week).
I just got possibly the most passive-aggressive email I've ever had from dad... full of "It would be nice if we were informed ahead of time of school policies" and "unreasonable expectations of student responsibility" and "would have complied if the school hadn't just created a new requirement out of whole cloth".
Oy.

2023.06.01 07:57 SlyZeke1O1 DBD OC Killers Season 1
 | Trigger Warning: Backstories includes mention of Torture, Child Abuse, Murder, et, if anyone got any idea for their perks please share in the comments down below submitted by SlyZeke1O1 to deadbydaylight [link] [comments] The Cyberpunk Name: Natalia Bailey Gender: Female Ethnicity: Russian-American Realm: Lockwood Institute, An abandoned college building with strobe lights everywhere and random Glow-in-the-Dark messages written in Russian everywhere on the walls Weapon: Whip Sword Special Power: Night Watcher: She has the ability to construct 3 types of traps with her techno-magic but can only use 1 type at a time:
Lore: Nothing known about Natalia Bailey's past but from her childhood, Natalia has a history of violence and vindictive behavior. Most of the incidents are triggered in response to attacks directed at her or at the few people she cares for. In elementary school, she was harassed and hurt by a school bully, but she refused to back down even though she was no match for him. After licking her wounds, Natalia returned with a baseball bat and slugged the bully around the ear. At the age of twelve, Natalia poured gasoline on her father and set him on fire after he administered a vicious beating to her mother, causing her permanent brain damage. As a result, her father almost died but managed to survive with severe scarring. She was declared a danger to herself and others by the court at age thirteen and was sent for treatment at a psychiatric clinic for young children diagnosed with psychological diseases. Bizarrely enough this clinic was a front for the Black Vale who wanted to use mentally ill children and raise them as psychotic killers and their would later be served to the Entity to please it's sadistic cravings, Natalia was one of those unlucky few. Before becoming an killer Natalia would become notorious in the dark web as she lead an group of hackers who are very sadistic and enjoy committing torture and murder and systematically incriminating innocent people for their crimes, which includes breaking into their homes. They are also extremely efficient hackers, who can easily invade systems, phone calls, social media accounts and pretty much anything on a computer, including even hospital life support systems, which they can turn off at will. This is all done for the sadistic entertainment of the whole group in the "game nights". this group had at least 26,000 people from all around the world, of both genders and several races. Eventually, Natalie got bored of the chaos she helped bring into so many victims and offered herself to the Entity, becoming one of its most hedonistic Killers up to date The Dullahan Name: Brenden Heller Gender: Male Ethnicity: Irish-American Nationality: Ireland Realm: Graelohan Empire, a medieval-like town that has been torn apart, skeletons of knights and peasants are seen around houses Weapon: Rapier Special Power: Headless Prowl, The Dullahad’s head separates from his body to track down survivors, as you control his head and once he sees the survivors, The head will roar towards the Survivors’ direction, making them scream in fear and revealing the auras of the survivor he spotted to his body Memento Mori: The survivor tries to crawl away but Dullahan gashes the tendons of their legs and flips them then forces the survivor to look at him in his glowing eyes which makes them scream in terror as Dullahan makes them watch their worst fears eyes then dies of pure shock. Lore: Brenden Heller was a hero in the Graelohan Empire, saving the weak from corrupt officials, bankruptcy and helping to end many wars that cost many lives, he eventually married the princess/later queen, Mariah of the Graelohan Empire made enemies of Rome's elites through the populist and authoritarian reforms he made as king. He was eventually betrayed and murdered by the commander of his army, Gaius. Who wanted to have Mariah all to himself and rule Graelohan to feed his own ego. Gaius degraded Brendan out of spite and beheads the unfortunate king. However, the Entity bought Brenden to life to seek revenge and assure that Mariah will live as long he pleads allegiance to its sadistic will. Brenden hesitates until the Enity shows him glimpses of his beloved being tortured by Gaius, physically, and emotionally, and he was making civilians kill each other in a colosseum for his own twisted amusement, so Breneden took the Enity's deal and Brenden became the Dullahan, he murdered Gaius and whoever else took part in his betrayal, saving Mariah and the kingdom from the egoist's wrath. Before Brenden was forced to go to the Enity's realm, he apologizes to his wife for not being there to protect her in time and urges her to move on, and realizes she was pregnant with Brendan's child and wishes a bright future for the both of them as he vanishes into the abyss of madness and bloodshed that awaits him.. The Gentleman Name: Markus Leblanc Gender: Male Ethnicity: French-British Weapon: Cane Sword Realm: Ilmoor Middlechester, An British neighborhood where the Gentleman started his vigilante career, surrounded by snow Special Power: Elusive Haze, Gentleman can steal items from chests and set gas traps in them that would inflict Survivors with either Hindered or Blindness, making them scream in the process Memento Mori: Gentlemen stabs the survivor in the stomach and chest at least 5 times before stabbing into the heart and slashing their throat then proceeds to dance with his opponent's corpse as they bleed to death and gently laid them down on the ground and places a rose on top of their chest before bowing elegantly as he shed a tear in regret of what he has done Lore: Markus Leblanc was born in the slums of London to his French mother, Ségolène,who works at a chef master and his British father, Cayden who is a famous book writer. Markus was always fond of the mystery novels his father made and learn how to cook at the age of 13 thanks to memorizing his mother's recipes. However Markus attends a private school which is mostly fill with kids from noble families and he have trouble making friends due to how his father views rich folks as self-righteous egotists who looks down on others so harshly and being the target of rich kids who are jealous of him being the son of Cayden but the only one who backed him up was his older twin brothers Silvain and Emeric. However as Markus, his father died from an heart diease and his mother died of a broken heart and to make matters worse is that Silvain and Emeric were framed of various crimes like robbery, assault on women, and battery. So Markus took the vigilante route to figure out who framed his brothers as he dressed up as the Gentleman Thief from his father's most top-selling mystery novel and eventually found out it was Gérard Boissieu, the ringleader who lead the group of bullies who kicked Markus whenever he was down. He scared Gérard into confessing for framing Markus's brothers for his crimes and Gérard decided to turn himself in out of fear of Markus who he didn't know he was the Gentleman Theif at the time, Silvain and Emeric were later freed and things are doing well for Markus until a mobster who was a member of the Black Vale try to recruit Markus into becoming one of their assassins after digging some dirt on Markus's Gentleman Theif identity and Markus refused, getting his brothers and their families to a safe place but was killed and later his soul offered to the Entity, Markus is one of the rarest killers that actually is unwilling to hurt survivors and actually tries to fight the Enity's control but eventually succumbs sadly but part of his humanity weeps as he is forced to kill innocent people who didn't do him wrong.. The Enchantress Name:Iliana Marroquín Gender: Female Ethnicity: Hispanic Weapon: Glaive Realm: Quiauhxochitl, An ancient Aztec-like temple Special Power: Two-Faced Beauty, She can take a disguise of a random survivor to catch the other ones by surprise with a successful attack with the use of her sacrifice dagger, however, it takes a 35-second cooldown, and if Lich messes up or gets blinded/stunned, it takes an extra 5 seconds to recharge Memento Mori: Enchantress would get on top of the survivors and stabs their hands onto the floor then grabs their face and kisses them on the lip, sucking the life force out of them in the process. Enchantress chuckles and grabs her glaive, leaving the soulless survivor on the ground Lore: Iliana Marroquin is a descendant of a cult family who wears Aztec-themed outfits and worships the Entity and kidnaps random people off the streets to give them off to the sadistic being’s realm, however, she was very conflicted about how the cult operates she eventually cut paths with Keith Singleton, the British Investigator and his partner who was killed in the process, Iliana helped Keith escape her family but was apprehended by the cultist followers and sacrificed to the Entity and was forced to become one of its most seductive and dangerous Killers The Statue Name: Vander Carpinelli Gender: Male Ethnicity: Italian-Candaian Realm: Lunaris Gallery An Renaissance-themed museum surrounded by creepy statues Weapon: Halberd Special Power: Night Fright, Statue would be able to freeze in place, and sort of teleport by the use of other statues of himself scattered all around the map. He would be able to select any statue to teleport to, but as a counterbalance, he wouldn't be able to see survivors until he arrives in the area where they are at. So basically, his power would be all about reading and playing tricks on the minds of survivors. Before he moves around his body doubles, any survivors can blind him before he can try to attack them Memento Mori: He slices at the survivor's legs before they could run away and proceeds to grab the survivors up by the neck and forces them to look at his face as they desperately try to get out of his grasp and he charges up a beam of light from his eyes which would slowly turn them into stone and chuckles at his finest artwork as he leaves the petrified survivor alone Lore: Vander Carpinelli was a sculptor in Italy and had supporting parents who are extremely wealthy however he would be degraded for his British descent by Holden and Killian, the children of his family rival, Bruno Lombardi and would harass Vander every time they get the chance while they was in art college, but eventually Vander had enough and managed to get his bullies expelled after submitting pictures of him being harassed. Vander would graduate and he become one of the greatest sculptors of his time. But as he was making one of his best artwork, he got assaulted by a group of thugs hired by the Lombardis and they buried him alive. As Vander loses his life, the Entity appeared and saved him, promising him sweet revenge on his enemies. Weeks after Vander's disappearance, no one couldn't find him but the entire Lombardi family and their associates were slaughtered and their bodies were placed inside statues that resemble them identical, Vander Carpinelli's whereabouts would be a mystery as he become of the most disturbing killers that Enity took great pleasure into creating The Hellhound Name: Vivian Chandler Gender: Female Ethnicity: American Realm: Firebrick Road, An burned down apartment complex Weapon: Fire Ax Special Power: Play With Fire, Hellhound breath hellfire that inflicts Scorched, a debuff that burns survivors which will disable their uses of items and they have to get extinguish the flames via Holy Water around the map. She can also breathe hellfire over windows and pallets Memento Mori: Hellhound will impale the survivor in the stomach with her claws, lift them up, and set them on fire as they scream in agony. She then slam her axe onto their head to shut them up Lord: Vivian did get along with her cousin Hestia since she was the only one who actually cared about her well-being but deep down Vivian was envious to Hestia’s loving parents because Vivian’s parents weren’t really caring, they just came forcing their expectations onto her and disapprove of her being bisexual, causing her to become bitter and self-loathing and eventually started becoming an pyromaniac after being shamed online by her parents for trying to talk with an young boy who they didn’t like, Vivian was enraged and hateful so she later burned her mother and father alive and burnt her back to avoid suspicion but she ended up slitting her mouth out of guilt because part of her felt ashamed for what she did… 2 months later, She was gonna burned herself but Hestia (who was still in her firefighter job at the time) walked into the act and tried to stop her but it was too late, Hestia ended up having burn marks around her neck, and some spots around her upper body and left shoulder but Vivian was nowhere be found after being taken by the Entity, now Vivian has brainwashed into hating Hestia despite her struggle to fight back the Entity’s control. Hestia and everyone else thought Vivian died in the fire but her body was never found so Hestia who quit being a firefighter and became an car racer made an charity campaign to find Vivian unknowingly setting herself as a target for the canon cult who worships the Entity. They kidnapped her and offer her as a sacrifice to the sadistic eldritch’s game of cat and mouse so that’s how Hestia is stuck in the Campfire realm along with her fellow survivors The Toymaker Name: Kai Davenport Gender: Male Ethnicity: Taiwanese-American Realm: Steam World, An toy factory with tons of bloodstains around the walls and floor along with some corpses placed into animatronics and toy animals with blood stains seen laying around Weapon: Toy Hanmer Special Power: Joys of Destruction, Toymaker can make his Dreadful Toys to hunt survivors for him however he can only make 3 toys at an time and he can’t make more unless they’re destroyed by Survivors Airplane: Shoots bullets that need 10 hits to injure a survivors Creepy Doll: Latch onto an survivor's leg to inflict Exhaustion Teddy Bear: Latch onto survivor’s arm to inflict Incapacitated Squeaky Mouse: Alerts Toymaker of the survivor's location if they vault over a window or rush into a locker Memento Mori: The Survivor tries to get up but Toymaker cackles maliciously and whacks the survivor with his Toy Hammer before he sic his Dreadful Toy to attack the survivor at once while he records the whole thing on a camera Lore: Kai Davenport is the son of a notorious serial killer who murdered 25 prostitutes and 15 police officers who tried to arrest him, Kai was an weird kid but he was actually kindful and supportive to others but he was bullied for what his father did and they’ve gotten lots of trouble for their shenanigans, he was also being emotionally abused by his uncle for not having much of an backbone until Kai snapped and pushed him down the stairs and nobody suspected the wiser because he was just an teenager at the time and figured his uncle tripped because he was drunk. Kai eventually graduated college and became an Toymaker, He would specialize making action figures, plushies and other accessories. Everything was going well until he ran into his old bullies who became an an whole gang who robs banks,They have coerced Kai into making weaponized toys for heist otherwise they would harm his cripple mother and younger siblings who just started high school. Eventually Kai did the honorable thing and reported himself to the police in order to get the gang arrested too but they attacked Kai’s younger sister and attempted to SA her but the cops intervened. This drove Kai into taking things into his own hands and kill his former bullies one by one and managed to convince the authorities that it was self defense and they bought it. But Kai developed an bloodthirsty habit to slaughter criminals who prey on the week so he became an vigilante to ease his bloodlust tendencies but this would make the Entity take interest in Kai and made the mentally ill man one of its newest killers making him believe the survivors he would be trying to slaughter would be criminals The Lich Name: Liliana O'Brien Gender: Female Ethnicity: Scottish Realm: Iageadell Tombs, An massive crypt full of tombs which is a resting ground for the deceased criminals and noble people who support the rich Weapon: Glaive Special Power: Life Harvest, So basically her power is similar to Oni’s except she needs soul energy to fuel her charge attacks, depending on how much blood her scythe is absorbed, she can dash forward a certain amount of times instead of just going into a full-blown sprint. She also has her own debuff called Hollowed, which makes survivors unable to sense auras temporarily and their healing speed would be slowed down horrendously. They would need to drink some altar water to deactivate the Hollowed effect faster, to tell if a survivor is inflicted with Hollowed, they would be shaking uncontrollably as if they’re cold and their icon would have a mist-like Sprial around it. Also for a short duration, the water is corrupted, and the Lich is able to absorb the corruption in the water and give her a bit of a boost with her power and her dash attacks would go a bit farther than normal Memento Mori: She slashes at the survivor a couple of times before she has them on their knees, she grabs them by the hair and slits their throat, as they die on the floor she lifts the survivor and absorbs their remaining life force into her glaive saying “Your life force is mine” an call back to Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat Lore: As a child, Liliana O'Brien was often drawn to the natural world, spending a lot of after-school time in a local ravine. Upon the encouragement of her parents, Liliana was able to fast-track through high school and receive acceptance into Metro High University at the young age of 16. After completing her B.A., Moone entered another university as part of her master's degree and later returned to Metropolis three years after in order to complete her Ph.D. Lilian later becomes an archeologist and later meets up with his old friend Edward Sho, who been researching bizarre events that includes people that the Entity has abducted like Dwight Fairfield, Meg Thomas, Tracey Dumas, and Keith Singleton. However Liliana didn't think much and figured Edward on some fanatical nonsense and didnt believe that the Enity was actually but she would later find out how right he was as she went on an expedition to the Scottish Highlands, discovering Iageadell Tombs, where she discovered an outfit of a woman named Orissa Moone, an femme fatale who was described as a lich, an undead being that feed of the souls of people they killed, as Lillian carelessly inspects the outfits, she would seen glimpses of Orissa's memories like her demented crimes of murdering men and women she seduced before her spirit decides to possessed Lilliana's body and seduces her research teammates before she kills them all and the Enity was impressed at Orissa's ruthlessness and sadism so it proceeds to welcome her into its realm as she forces Lianna's soul and body under her full control.... |
2023.06.01 07:56 Either_Imagination_9 So I just finished 2-4 and… man I have so many mixed opinions on it.
I’ve only played the first and second ace attorney games so please no spoilers.
I literally just finished it like an hour ago so these are pretty fresh. I think this trial plays out a little too long, and they keep baiting you with the “it’s finally over” schtick. And yeah I know all of these trials do that but it felt like overkill here.
I do like that Edgeworth comes back (which also plays into a gripe I have) and shows that he’s changed a lot since the first game. He’s my favorite character from both games and it definitely seems like he’s the creators favorite too.
And having to defend someone who’s guilty is such a great concept especially this early into the series. The second half where you have to keep the trial going when you know the result is great and Matt Engarde has to be one of the best villains in the series. He has everyone dancing in the palm of his hand it’s great.
To give some gripes though, I’m really not a fan of how you always have Mia’s help here. By this point, Phoenix should be over constantly needing her to help him. And I think it makes Pearl feel more like a Plot device than a character, cuz she barely did much here. She wasn’t present at all during the trials. They avoided this problem with Maya in the first game pretty well so it’s sad to see it happen here.
And I love Edgeworth but man… I feel like Franziska got kicked out of the story for him. I was pretty meh on her for most of the game and I was banking on the final trial to save her (which it kind of did). She was already fighting an uphill battle by having to follow up Edgeworth from the first game but even then she felt a little too one-note for most of the game. Her whole “I will destroy you Mr. Phoenix Wright” schtick got old pretty quick and I was really hoping she had another trick up her sleeve (which I’ll get to in a minute). She kinda felt like a less competent Manfred, which makes sense since she’s only 18, but it’s like they took Manfred and made him a teenage woman.
With that said however, the stuff towards the end with her did make up for a lot. Having unfair expectations put on you will always stress you out and she felt like she had to surpass both her father and Edgeworth. And the only way to do that is to beat Phoenix. But she still couldn’t do it, and it was eating inside of her. But when her and Edgeworth have that conversation before she leaves, she actually shows some humanity. She openly tears up, it’s really sweet. I really hope she comes back in the third game because I feel like there’s a bunch you can do with her.
But again it’s like… why wait until the end of the game for this? The great thing about Edgeworth fro the first game was that you could see him change with each trial. Why not do that with Franziska? Feel like that would be way more satisfying.
So yeah those are my thoughts, feel free to counter my complaints.

2023.06.01 07:56 SCAMMINGDUOMJ I PRAY FOR U.. LONG POST 💕
 | As I lay in bed I can't stop thinking about how lucky I am to be able to share my life with these 2 sweet babies and I ask how any human being can do such an evil act with full intentions to ruin not only my life but my entire families life but more importantly these 2 innocent babies that have absolutely everything they could ever ask for while living in captivity. For one second imagine if this was done to you. Not only having the door that I worked my ass off to keep us safe, but having grown men run into your home pointing assault rifles at me and my child's face as I scream "she is only 12". All because we chose to love 2 spider monkeys. Can you imagine the fear that child had and still has because of your actions? What gives you the right to make that mark on a childs life? Why does your child and home deserve safety and security but you ripped that from mine. I am not a Church goer nor do I pray every night but I promise you this you better Pray the same thing doesn't happen to you or Jamie because my heart is real reckless right now. I have so much Hate built up right now from your actions and Jamie's refusal to react and do the right thing. I Pray nothing good comes to either of you, I Pray your brakes go out on the Highway, I Pray your Liver fails again, I Pray your Vape shop gets raided, I Pray your landlord evicts you, I Pray both your husband's find better, I Pray Captain Boles makes you get rid of some of your monkeys, I Pray the USFW indictes you. I Pray Joe Exotic becomes your penpal. I don't Pray all of this because I am a mean person but I do Pray all of this because I am a good person that has become of a victim of you evil monsters. Jamie I am sure you was once a great person but you allowed a Monster into your life and you also became one. Most importantly I Pray you never do this to another innocent family because you are jealous or believe you are the fucking wild animal police. You can't commit crimes when it benefits your pockets then be a man of God on Sundays. You have been exposed for the disgusting people you are and if anyone supports you after this they are Monsters as well. I hope your life stays horrible submitted by SCAMMINGDUOMJ to fullersmonkeybunch [link] [comments] |
