I’m not sure where to start.
I’ve recently returned to my home town for the summer after a few years away. I moved to a random city where I did not like it and I did nothing but self-isolate. This was basically due to me not fitting in with the culture.
I have moved home after my lease is up so I can save money before I move to another totally random city for work. My home town is a desolate wasteland compared to what it used to be. (This is a figure of speech. My town is doing fine but there’s just nothing left in this town from when I lived there)
I’ve spent the last 2 years exploring my bi-sexuality in vain. I finally decided to explore it after experiencing constant bi-phobia from women. The gay scene is…well it’s just not for me. But I was looking forward to coming home and seeing this one guy who I developed feelings for. It turns out he has a bf now which kind of broke my heart.
I have a great job and I’m doing well personally. But I’m so f**cking alone right now I can’t stand it. I feel like I’m actually going crazy.
I don’t have a home town anymore, I have no idea where I’m going or what I’m doing and I just have no one to talk to. I’m not close to my family and I don’t have too many close friends to lean on. I have no idea what to do

HELLO! I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN UNDERTALE AND I AM PLAYING IT WITH FLOWERY! AND IF YOU'RE ASKING WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND, THEN THE ANSWER IS THE REAL FRIEND WAS THE PAPYRUS WE MADE ALONG THE WAY! YES, I HAVE FOOLED YOU INTO BELIEVING IT WAS A FRIEND THAT WANTED TO PLAY UNDERTALE, BUT IT WAS ME ALL ALONG! I'M SORRY FOR LYING, BUT I WANTED IT TO BE A SURPRISE!
SO I HAVE STARTED MY JOURNEY BY READING THE STORY ABOUT HUMANS AND MONSTERS, AND THEN I NAMED THE FALLEN HUMAN! IT WOULDN'T LET ME USE "PAPYRUS" SO I NAMED MYSELF "COOL"! AND THEN I SAW FRISK STARING AT ME ON A FLOWER BED, AND I CAN MOVE THEM! SO I GUESS FRISK IS WHO I SHALL PLAY AS!
I HAVE TRAVERSED INTO THE NEXT ROOM AND I MET FLOWERY! AND HE IS TEACHING ME ABOUT BATTLES AND LOVE, BUT THEN HE SHOOTS BULLETS AT ME SO I AVOID THEM UNTIL HE GETS VERY ANGRY AND TRIES TO KILL ME (VERY INACCURATE OF YOU, GAME!) BUT THANKFULLY, TORIEL HAS SAVED ME WITH THE POWER OF FIREBALLS, WHICH HOPEFULLY DIDN'T HURT FLOWERY TOO MUCH!
I'VE ARRIVED AT THE RUINS AND TOUCHED THE SHINY YELLOW SPINNING STAR THING, AND GOT FILLED WITH DETERMINATION FROM THE RUINS! I GUESS THAT'S HOW I SAVE! TORIEL SHOWS ME HOW PUZZLES WORK, WHICH I DIDN'T NEED HELP, BUT FRISK PROBABLY DID SO I'M GRATEFUL ANYWAY! A FEW SWITCHES FLIPPED LATER AND FRISK HAS ENTERED THEIR FIRST BATTLE! THE FIRST THING I NOTICED IS THE HUMAN DOESN'T HAVE A MAGIC OPTION, BUT I CAN WORK WITH THAT! FLOWERY SUGGESTED I SHOULD SPARE THE DUMMY OVER AND OVER, BUT THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SO I TALKED TO IT INSTEAD AND TORIEL WAS PROUD OF ME! UNFORTUNATELY THE DUMMY WASN'T VERY INTERESTED IN TALKING WITH ME!
I ENTER THE NEXT ROOM, AND PREPARE FOR THE PUZZLE UP AHEAD THAT TORIEL HAS WARNED ME ABOUT! BEFORE I CAN READ THE SIGN ON THE WALL, I GET JUMPED BY A FROGGIT, SO I COMPLIMENT IT AND TORIEL SCARES IT AWAY (HOW RUDE!) I READ THE SIGN AND MEMORIZE THE CORRECT PATH, AND FLOWERY SAYS IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE TORIEL WILL HOLD MY HAND ANYWAY! INTERESTING HOW HE KNEW THAT, BUT HE IS GOOD AT PREDICTING THE FUTURE!
I ENTER THE NEXT ROOM AND TORIEL RUNS FROM ME, SO I RUN TO THE END OF THE ROOM AND FIND A PILLAR, WITH TORIEL HIDING BEHIND IT VERY POORLY, BUT I PRETEND TO NOT KNOW SHE'S THERE TO MAKE HER HAPPY! SHE RETREATS FROM THE PILLAR AND GIVES ME A CELL PHONE AND LEAVES! I THEN WAIT FOR TORIEL AND CALL HER SOMETIMES, BUT THEN I LEARN THE ANNOYING DOG IS HARASSING HER AND I LEAVE TO GO SAVE HER!
BUT AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE ROOM, TORIEL CALLS ME, SO I GUESS SHE HAS EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL! FLOWERY REFUSES TO LET ME STAY IN THE OTHER ROOM, SO ONWARD I GO! I TALK TO A FROGGIT AND IT TELLS ME ABOUT MERCY! I GET FILLED WITH DETERMINATION BY PLAYING THE LEAVES AND SAVE THE GAME! THEN I GO UP AND FIND A BOWL OF CANDY! FLOWERY SUGGESTS I STEAL ALL THE CANDY I CAN, BUT I ONLY TAKE ONE! I INSPECT THE CANDY, AND LEARN IT HEALS 10HP! INTERESTING!
I PREPARE TO LEAVE THE ROOM, BUT ANOTHER FROGGIT ATTACKS ME! I COMPLIMENT IT AND IT SHOOTS MAGIC FLIES AT ME, SO I DODGE THE MAGIC FLIES WITH EASE AND SPARE THE FROGGIT! THEN I ENTER THE NEXT ROOM AND FALL DOWN AND SEE TWO DOORS! FLOWERY URGES ME TO GO TO THE DOOR ON THE RIGHT, AND I GET ACROSS THE FALLING FLOOR AND ESCAPE TO THE NEXT ROOM!
AS SOON AS I WALK FORWARD, I GET A CALL FROM TORIEL WHO IS ASKING IF I PREFER CINNAMON OR BUTTERSCOTCH! FLOWERY SAYS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH OPTION I CHOOSE BUT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT DOESN'T MATTER, SO I CHOOSE CINNAMON! I WALK FORWARD SOME MORE AND GET ANOTHER CALL FROM TORIEL, WHO IS NOW ASKING IF I DISLIKE BUTTERSCOTCH! I THEN FEEL BAD FOR LEAVING THE ROOM BECAUSE SHE HAS THANKED ME FOR BEING PATIENT, BUT FLOWERY STILL DOESN'T WANT ME TO GO BACK! I PUSH A ROCK A BIT AND THE SPIKES GO DOWN, BUT I GET ATTACKED BY A WHIMSUN, WHO LOOKS VERY AFRAID! I TRY TO CONSOLE IT, BUT IT RUNS AWAY! BEFORE I CAN LEAVE TO THE NEXT ROOM, TORIEL CALLS YET AGAIN, ASKING IF I HAVE ANY ALLERGIES! FRISK ASKS WHY SHE'S ASKING AND SHE SUSPICIOUSLY SAYS THERE'S NO REASON!
I ENTER THE NEXT ROOM, AND SEE A BUNCH OF FALLING-GROUND THINGS! FLOWERY GETS BORED OF WATCHING ME FALL OVER AND OVER AND HELPS ME WITH THE PUZZLE! BEFORE I CAN LEAVE TO THE NEXT ROOM, I GET ATTACKED BY A MOLDSMAL! I FLIRT WITH IT, AND WE HAVE A VERY MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION! THEN I SPARE IT, AND LEAVE TO THE NEXT ROOM!
I SEE 3 MORE ROCKS AND START PUSHING THEM OVER, BUT THE THIRD ROCK IS ALIVE! FRISK ASKS IT TO MOVE, AND IT DOES SOME TOMFOOLARY, BUT FINALLY I GET IT TO THE BUTTON! BUT THEN IT MOVES OFF THE BUTTON AS SOON AS I APPROACH THE SPIKES!!! I ASK IT TO STAY ON THE BUTTON, AND IT FINALLY UNDERSTANDS, AND I AM ABLE TO ESCAPE TO THE NEXT ROOM!
I FIND SOME CHEESE AND GET FILLED WITH DETERMINATION FROM THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE MOUSE MAY ESCAPE THE HOLE AND GET THE CHEESE, AND SAVE THE GAME! I INTERACT WITH THE HOLE AND THE MOUSE SQUEAKS AT ME! I THEN LEAVE TO THE NEXT ROOM!
I ENTER THE NEXT ROOM AND SEE NAPSTABLOOK PRETENDING TO TAKE A NAP! I TRY TO WAIT FOR THEM TO LEAVE, BUT THEY DON'T MOVE SO I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO MOVE THEM WITH FORCE! I CHOOSE TO CHEER AT THEM, AND FRISK SMILES AT THEM, WHICH NAPSTABLOOK FINDS FUNNY?? I GET HIT TRYING TO AVOID THE MAGIC TEARS AND CHEER AT NAPSTABLOOK ONCE MORE, AND FRISK TELLS THEM A JOKE! NAPSTABLOOK PULLS A SANS MOVE AND DOESN'T ATTACK, SO I CHEER ONCE MORE! NAPSTABLOOK TRANSFORMS INTO DAPPERBLOOK AND I CHEER ONCE AGAIN, AND WIN THE BATTLE! NAPSTABLOOK LEAVES AND I LEAVE TO THE NEXT ROOM!
I READ A SIGN AND IT TELLS ME ABOUT THE SPIDER BAKESALE, SO I GO BACK TO BUY SOMETHING, BUT I ONLY HAVE 3G! FLOWERY TELLS ME I SHOULD FIND MONSTERS AND SPARE THEM, AND THEY WILL GIVE ME MORE G! I GET HIT AGAIN, BUT I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR A SPIDER DONUT, SO I GO BUY ONE AND INSPECT IT, AND LEARN IT HEALS 12HP! I THEN CONTINUE ON MY ADVENTURES! I ALSO SAVE AT THE MOUSE ROOM AGAIN, AND I AM AT FULL HP! HOW CONVENIENT!
I TALK TO THE FIRST FROGGIT IN THE ROOM, AND LEARN HOW TO GO INTO FULL SCREEN! AND THEN WE WONDER WHAT F4 STANDS FOR TOGETHER! I TALK TO THE SECOND FROGGIT IN THE ROOM, AND IT TELLS ME ABOUT YELLOW NAMES, WHICH AGAIN, I ALREADY KNOW, BUT FRISK DOES NOT, AND I AM THANKFUL FOR FROGGIT TELLING THEM! IT ALSO SAYS I WILL HAVE TO SPARE WITHOUT YELLOW NAMES, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME AT THE TIME! I TRY TO LEAVE THE ROOM, BUT TORIEL CALLS ME AND TELLS ME TO LEAVE SPACE IN MY POCKETS FOR SOMETHING COOL I MIGHT WANT, AND I LEAVE TO THE NEXT ROOM!
I ENTER A ROOM AND LEARN I NEED TO FIND A SWITCH HIDDEN SOMEWHERE! FLOWERY TELLS ME TO LOOK AT THE TOP MIDDLE ONE LAST, SO I DO THAT AND FIND A RIBBON, NAPSTABLOOK, AND TWO VEGETOIDS! I INSPECT THE RIBBON AND PUT IT ON FOR EXTRA DEFENSES, AND BETTER LOOKS! I GET ATTACKED BY A MOLDSMAL AND A MIGOSP, AND I SPARE THEM WITH EASE, AND ESCAPE TO THE NEXT ROOM!
I FIND THREE PILLARS AND THREE DIFFERENTLY COLORED SWITCHES NEXT TO ALL OF THEM! THE SIGN SAYS THE ROOM IS GOING TO ROTATE, SO I MEMORIZE THE ROOM AND MOVE FORWARD! THE SIGN SAYS I SHOULD PRESS THE BLUE SWITCH, WHICH I REMEMBER IS BY THE FIRST PILLAR! BUT I GET ATTACKED BY TWO VEGETOIDS AND GET HIT! I ENTER THE NEXT ROTATION AND THE SIGN TELLS ME TO FLIP THE RED SWITCH, WHICH IS IN MY VISION! I FLIP THE SWITCH AND GET ATTACKED BY ANOTHER MOLDSMAL AND MIGOSP, AND SPARE THEM ONCE AGAIN! BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, I FIGURE OUT I NEED TO FLIP THE GREEN SWITCH, WHICH IS BEHIND ONE OF THE PILLARS! I LEAVE TO THE FIRST ROOM TO REFRESH MY MEMORY, AND AFTER SOME THINKING, I FIND THE GREEN SWITCH AND MOVE FORWARD!
I FINALLY ENTER A NEW ROOM, AND FIND TWO DIFFERENT PATHS! FLOWERY TELLS ME TO GO RIGHT, AND I FIND A FROGGIT, WHO TELLS ME TORIEL WAS HERE RECENTLY! I ALSO LEARN THAT FROGGIT IS INTIMIDATED BY TORIEL, WHICH IS STRANGE BECAUSE OF HOW KIND SHE IS! I GO UP TO FIND A GIANT CITY, AND A TOY KNIFE! I INSPECT THE TOY KNIFE, AND LEARN IT IS A DEADLY WEAPON, SO I DISCARD IT! I THEN GO TO THE OTHER PATH AND REUNITE WITH TORIEL! SHE HEALS ME AND TAKES ME TO HER HOME!
I ENTER TORIEL'S HOUSE AND SHE TELLS ME SHE WAS MAKING A PIE TO WELCOME ME TO THE UNDERGROUND! SHE ALSO TAKES ME TO MY NEW BEDROOM, WHICH I WILL BE STAYING IN FOR THE TIME BEING! I EXPLORE THE ROOM, AND FIND SHOES AND TOYS AND VARIOUS OTHER COOL ITEMS! I TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND THE SONG TURNS INTO A MUSIC BOX VERSION! I THEN DECIDE NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO GO TO SLEEP, AND I WAKE UP TO A SLICE OF PIE SITTING ON THE FLOOR! HOW KIND OF TORIEL TO LEAVE THIS HERE! I INSPECT IT AND LEARN IT FULLY HEALS ME! THIS MUST BE A VERY VALUABLE ITEM! I LEAVE MY BEDROOM AND INSPECT THE PLANTS AND DRAWERS AND THE MIRROR! I ALSO FIND A LOCKED ROOM, AND A NOT LOCKED ROOM!
SO NATURALLY, I ENTER THE NOT LOCKED ROOM, AND LEARN IT IS TORIEL'S BEDROOM! INSIDE HER BEDROOM IS A BUCKET OF SNAILS, WHICH FLOWERY DESCRIBES AS "SURPRISINGLY GOOD", AND JUDGING BY HOW TORIEL TALKED ABOUT MAKING SNAIL PIE EARLIER, I'D SAY FLOWERY AND TORIEL EAT SNAILS! WHICH IS TOTALLY NORMAL, ACCORDING TO FLOWERY! I ALSO FIND TORIEL'S DIARY, AND DECIDE NOT TO READ IT TO RESPECT HER PRIVACY! I FIND THE MOST TSUNDERE OF PLANTS, CHAIRIEL, TORIEL'S BED, AND A BOOKSHELF THAT TELLS ME ABOUT TYPHA, OR WATER SAUSAGES! INTERESTING KNOWLEDGE! LASTLY, I FIND TORIEL'S SOCK DRAWER, AND I LEAVE THE ROOM!
I LEAVE THE HALLWAY AND INSPECT THE BOOKSHELF AND VERY OLD CALENDAR, AND THEN I TRY TO GO DOWNSTAIRS BUT TORIEL TELLS ME NOT TO! HOW SHE KNEW I WAS DOWN THERE, I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT ALAS, I MUSTN'T PLAY DOWNSTAIRS! I GO INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND FIND TORIEL READING A BOOK! I TALK TO HER, AND FRISK HAS THE OPTION TO ASK WHEN THEY CAN GO HOME?? FLOWERY TELLS ME TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING ELSE FIRST, AND SO I DO!
THE FIRE IS PLEASANTLY WARM, MUST BE MAGIC FIRE! I FIND A HISTORY BOOK ABOUT MONSTERS BEING TRAPPED BY THE BARRIER, AND ALSO I LEARNED ABOUT ASGORE'S INCREDIBLE NAMING SKILLS! I FIND SOME TOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED DOWN, AND ENTER THE KITCHEN! INSIDE THE FRIDGE, THERE IS A BRAND-NAME CHOCOLATE BAR! THE SINK HAS WHITE FUR STUCK IN THE DRAIN, AND I CANNOT IMAGINE WHO'S FUR THAT BELONGS TO! I LOOK IN THE CUPBOARD TO FIND COOKIE CUTTERS FOR GINGERBREAD MONSTERS, TO WHICH FLOWERY SAYS HE REMEMBERS STEALING GINGERBREAD MONSTERS FROM TORIEL WITH THE MEDDLING CANINE ONE TIME, AND IT WAS A "BONDING EXPERIENCE", WHICH IS VERY NOT COOL OF FLOWERY, BUT I FORGIVE HIM! I FIND THE UPGRADED PIE, BUT IT'S SIZE INTIMIDATED FRISK AND I CANNOT GET IT! LASTLY, I FIND THE VERY CLEAN STOVETOP, AND LEARN FROM THE NARRATOR THAT TORIEL USES FIRE MAGIC TO COOK! INTERESTING METHODS, I PREFER USING NON-MAGIC FIRE, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS!
I THEN TRY TO FIND ANYTHING ELSE TO LOOK AT, BUT FIND NOTHING. SO I AM UNFORTUNATELY FORCED TO ASK HOW TO LEAVE! BUT THEN TORIEL ASKS ME TO LISTEN TO HER BOOK ABOUT SNAILS AND I FEEL SUPER BAD, SO I LISTEN TO HER, AND I LEARN THAT SNAILS SOMETIMES FLIP THEIR DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS AS THEY MATURE! I DIDN'T NEED THAT KNOWLEDGE, BUT I HAVE IT NOW! AFTER SOME BOONDOGGLING, I GET THE COURAGE TO ASK HER HOW TO LEAVE, AND SHE RUNS AWAY! I LOOK THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE, BUT I CAN'T FIND HER! I CALL HER, BUT SHE DOESN'T PICK UP!!
I FINALLY REALIZE THAT THE BASEMENT IS THE ONLY PLACE I HAVEN'T LOOKED, SO I GO DOWN THERE AND SEE TORIEL STANDING THERE! I WALK UP TO HER AND SHE TELLS ME SHE IS GOING TO DESTROY THE EXIT TO THE RUINS SO I CANNOT LEAVE! SHE TELLS ME TO GO UPSTAIRS BUT I HAVE TO CONVINCE HER TO LET FRISK ESCAPE, SO I CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD! TORIEL TELLS ME ABOUT HOW THE OTHER HUMANS THAT FELL DOWN HERE HAVE DIED TO ASGORE??? VERY INACCURATE YET AGAIN, GAME! BUT I DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD ONCE MORE! TORIEL TELLS ME THIS IS MY FINAL WARNING, AND I CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD, AND SHE THROWS ME INTO BATTLE!
THE FIRST THING I DO IS TRY TO TALK HER OUT OF THIS, BUT FRISK CAN'T THINK OF ANY CONVERSATION TOPICS! IF ONLY I HAD BEEN THERE TO HELP!! TORIEL THROWS FIRE AT ME, AND I TRY TO CHECK HER FOR SOME EXTRA KNOWLEDGE! I LEARN TORIEL HAS 80 ATK AND 80 DEF, WHICH IS HIGHLY INTIMIDATING, BUT I CANNOT GIVE UP! I GET HIT BY HER NEXT ATTACK, AND I TRY TALKING YET AGAIN, BUT TO NO AVAIL! I TRY ONE FINAL TIME TO TALK, BUT FRISK JUST CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING!! I GET HIT TWO MORE TIMES AND AM BROUGHT DOWN TO 12HP!
EVENTUALLY, I SPARE HER, AND SHE REMAINS SILENT, BUT IT SHOWED TEXT THIS TIME! THAT MEANS I'M GETTING SOMEWHERE! I GET HIT ANOTHER 3 TIMES AND AM BROUGHT DOWN TO 3HP, SO I HEAL USING THE MONSTER CANDY! I CONTINUE SPARING HER, AND SHE STAYS SILENT, UNTIL EVENTUALLY SHE USES A QUESTION MARK! I SPARE HER YET AGAIN, AND SHE ASKS WHAT I AM DOING! I GET KNOCKED DOWN TO 7HP, BUT I CONTINUE SPARING! SHE TELLS ME TO ATTACK OR RUN AWAY, NONE OF WHICH I WILL BE DOING ANYTIME SOON! SHE ASKS WHAT I AM PROVING THIS WAY, AND I GET HIT, BUT LEARN SHE'S NOW ONLY DEALING 1 DAMAGE! I SPARE AGAIN, AND SHE TELLS ME TO FIGHT HER OR LEAVE, WHICH I AM STILL NOT DOING! I SPARE HER AGAIN, AND SHE TELLS ME TO STOP IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE TIMES I CAN TELL HER I'M NOT DOING THAT. SHE TELLS ME TO STOP LOOKING AT HER THAT WAY, BUT THAT'S FRISK'S FACIAL EXPRESSION, WHICH I CANNOT CONTROL! I SPARE HER AGAIN AND SHE TELLS ME TO GO AWAY! HOW RUDE. I SPARE AGAIN, AND SHE GOES SILENT AGAIN! I SPARE HER AGAIN, AND SHE LOOKS SAD, AND HER FIREBALLS ARE NOW AVOIDING ME! VERY SAD, BUT I'M DOING IT!
I SPARE HER AGAIN AND THE MUSIC CUTS OUT. SHE ASKS ME TO GO UPSTAIRS, BUT THE FLEE OPTION IS GONE. NOT THAT I WAS GOING TO USE IT ANYWAY. SHE TELLS ME SHE WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME HERE, AND I'M SURE SHE WILL, BUT FRISK CLEARLY WISHES TO RETURN TO THE SURFACE! SHE TRIES CONVINCING ME TO STAY. I CONTINUE SPARING HER, AND SHE ASKS ME WHY I AM MAKING THIS SO DIFFICULT. UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT ANSWER. SHE ASKS ME TO GO UPSTAIRS, WHICH I DO NOT! SHE GOES QUIET AGAIN, AND STARTS LAUGHING! SHE THEN CALLS HERSELF PATHETIC, WHICH IS VERY NOT TRUE!! SHE GOES QUIET AGAIN, BUT SHE FINALLY AGREES TO LET FRISK GO!
THE BATTLE ENDS AND SHE TELLS ME TO NOT GO BACK TO THE RUINS! I WILL TRY TO CALL HER SOMETIMES WHILE ON MY JOURNEY! SHE THEN HUGS ME AND LEAVES! AND I DIDN'T CRY! I SWEAR! I THEN CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD, AND I MEET FLOWERY AGAIN, WHO SHAMES ME FOR SHOWING MERCY, AND LAUGHS AT ME! BUT NOW I KNOW HIS PLAN ISN'T REGICIDE, SO THAT'S GOOD! I THEN WALK INTO THE DOORWAY AND READ THE CREDITS! AND THEN I ARRIVE AT SNOWDIN, BY THE GIANT DOOR!
I WALK FORWARD AND GET HARASSED BY SOMEONE'S SILHOUETTE! I REACH THE BRIDGE AND STARE AT THE SILHOUETTE AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S SANS! VERY INACCURATE AGAIN, GAME! I MET THE HUMAN FIRST! BUT THIS IS SOMETHING SANS WOULD DO, SO ALSO ACCURATE IN A WAY! FRISK SHAKES SANS' HAND AND HEARS THE WHOOPEE CUSHION! SANS THEN ACTIVELY DOESN'T DO HIS JOB, AND SOMEHOW GOES THROUGH THE BARS, SAYING THEY'RE "too wide to stop anyone", WHICH IS VERY NOT TRUE! THOSE BARS STOPPED EVERYONE!
FRISK HIDES BEHIND THE LAMP AND A VERY HANDSOME AND COOL SKELETON RUNS ON-SCREEN! I ALSO WATCH THE SAME CONVERSATION I HAD WITH SANS THAT ONE TIME PLAY OUT, SO GOOD JOB FOR BEING ACCURATE, GAME! BUT ALSO HOW DOES THE GAME KNOW ABOUT THAT?? ALSO, IT JUST DAWNED ON ME THAT SANS WAS HELPING ME WITH HIS GOOFY ANTICS??? ANYWAY, FLOWERY AND I LAUGH AT MY PUN, BOO AT SANS' PUNS, AND CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD! SANS ASKS THE HUMAN TO SHOW THEMSELF TO ME TO CHEER ME UP, AND IF SANS REALLY DID THAT, I THANK YOU BROTHER! IT DID IN FACT CHEER ME UP! AND THEN SANS LEAVES, AND SO DO I!
I GET FILLED WITH DETERMINATION BY THE LAMP'S CONVENIENCE AND SAVE THE GAME! AND THAT IS WHERE I SHALL STOP PLAYING FOR NOW, BECAUSE I NEED TISSUE! BECAUSE! I AM NOT CRYING!! I JUST HAVE SOMETHING STUCK IN MY EYE AND NEED TO GET IT OUT!! I SHALL PLAY UNDERTALE AGAIN LATER! I HAD A LOT OF FUN, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS VERY INACCURATE SOMETIMES!

Hey everyone!
My roommates and I have one room available starting Sep. 1st! We have a 4 bed, 1.5 bath apartment in Somerville. There are 4 bedrooms on the third floor with a full bath, and a kitchen, dining room, two living rooms, and a half bath on the second floor.
Here is the carfax for our apartment:
One year lease starting Sept. 1 Green line and red line accessible (Ball Square stop is a 4 minute walk and Davis is a 12 minute walk) Two shared off street parking spots (permitted street parking as well) Coin-operated laundry machines in the basement Rent is $1125 per person per month ($4500 total) Heat is gas, we pay for that and electricity Roommates are 3 mid-20 guys LGBTQ+ friendly
We’re a chill group of 3 guys who all work 9-5’s that are 24 - 25 years old. The three of us are close friends who love to go out to get drinks/food and everything in between. We’re fairly clean and also like to cook and bake (quite often). If you are someone who wants to join us in our Boston shenanigans, please send me a DM and I’m happy to send over more details and answer any questions!!

Context: I recently purchased a 1 bed house from a friend in Bristol.
I absolutely love the house, it's small, but has south facing sun trap of a garden, really polished finish in all rooms (except bathroom which I'm having done next couple of months) and I've settled in nicely now having moved here ~ a year ago.
However, another friend of mine has recently moved (without having had to sell their home) and they have been kind enough to offer it to me for £230k. The house is a 2 bed terraced house about 5 minute drive from me (in Bristol), and looking on Zoopla, these houses tend to be worth anywhere from £280k - £300k.
The numbers: I took out a 2 year fix on my current place at 1.68% for 180,000 mortgage with a 25k deposit (total purchase price £205k).
I have 35k saved up and have been told by an estate agent that my house could now be worth anywhere between 215k - 225k (the latter sum I'm sceptical of given it's a 1 bed and will likely only attract FTB with limited funds, much like myself at the time).
I currently earn 50k but would not like to increase my mortgage amount due to interest rates. I'd rather port my mortgage over and put 15k of my own cash in if I did go for the 2 bed (assuming my house sells for 215k)
I'm aware that selling/purchasing fees are likely to cost anywhere between 7-10k (conveyancing, mortgage transfer, structural surveys, EA fees, but no stamp duty which is a massive plus!) - I did buy using a LISA, not sure if this means anything when it comes to selling now?
Overall it would likely cost me ~25k in total to move from my 1 bed to the 2 bed.
The issues: My friend's 2 bed house is not without it's issues!
There is severe damp issues in the front downstairs and upstairs of the property as well as the rear upstairs and downstairs of the property.
None of the floors in the property are straight, and at times it can feel like you're in one of those fun houses that you get at fun fairs.
There is potential electrical issues also, and several windows and doors within the property need attention due to being poorly maintained (one of them doesn't shut fully which could be a real pain in winter!)
I currently benefit from off street parking and would lose this and inherit awful on-street parkin on a very narrow and crowded road in an area that is a little more rough round the edges.
I'm also worried that the structural survey is going to shine a light on some other major flaws.
I'm aware that the rendering both front and back has several cracks in it which could be one of the main causes of damp.
All in all, to get the house to a condition where I would feel 'happy' to live in it, it could cost upwards of 20-40k and to cope with the extra running costs, I'd probably have to get a lodger to occupy the second room. (both rooms are spacious double rooms).
The Qeustion: What would you do in my situation? I've grown to become quite happy in my sunny little 1 bed, and the only reason I would take the offer of the two bed is so that I could somewhat future proof myself at a somewhat decent price point.
I would have a potential 50/50 split with mortgage and bills from having a lodger, but would also live in a house in a much worse condition, with a much worse finish, and also lose many amenities I currently enjoy such as a spacious sunny garden, off street parking, nicer location, and most importantly, relatively nice emergency fund saved meaning I can worry a little less about money.
I feel like this 2 bed property could become a huge investment but also a huge burden and something I'm not quite willing to subject myself to just yet. But an offer like this might never come around again, and I don't want to be left kicking myself when I eventually outgrow my 1 bed that I didn't make the move at a time where I could have gotten a 2 bed ~40k under market value w/no stamp duty to pay.
I understand a lot of this question will boil down to how I feel personally and what I prioritise now vs. later in life, but I would still love to hear what you would do if in a similar position to mine or hear any similar experiences you might have.
Thanks for reading, and even more for responding!

Hello all! Apologies if this is a dumb question but I’m just curious if it’s allowed to bring a handgun bought out of state that’s not on the roster into MD. I’m new to the whole handgun roster thing so I’m not totally sure if it’s just handguns that can’t be PURCHASED here, or if it’s handguns that can’t be OWNED here. Thanks for you time!

I am starting a blog, basically journaling my healing journey. Topics will include how I deal/cope with my mental health diagnosis of Bipolar 1 Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD and PTSD. My episodes, therapy sessions, intrusive thoughts, what BPD and Bipolar looks like in me. My first post is about having to confess to my pastor what I did during a depressive episode. Check it out! It’s totally free! I struggle a lot with my mental health and this is a way for me to “journal” that holds me accountable.

Do you suffer with mental health problems? What does that look like for you? #FreeMindofaNeurodivergent

I may be an amateur musician, but I am a professional nerd.* As such, I was inspired by u/OctavianMacLean's post to finally write up my music theory questions from Rhythm of War. If only Navani's chapters had gone on longer about musicology! Alas, this is essentially all we know about the pitches used in music on Roshar, from chapter 69:
> The Alethi traditionally used a ten-note scale—though it was more accurately two five-note quintaves. This was right and orderly, and the greatest and most famous compositions were all in this scale.
>The Thaylens, for example, preferred a twelve-note scale. A strange number, but the twelve steps were mathematically pleasing.
>Anciently, people had used a three-note scale,** and a few of the compositions remained. The tone that drew Stormlight was the first of the three notes from this ancient scale. With some effort—it had required sending Fused to Kholinar through the Oathgate to raid the royal music conservatory—she’d obtained tuning forks for the other two notes in this scale. To her delight, Voidlight responded to the third of the three notes.
Based on this description, I have some questions, a couple of suggestions...starting with, does Navani use quintave to mean:
a) an interval with frequency ratio 3:2, at which the scale repeats;
b) a 5-note [i.e. pentatonic] scale; or
c) something else?
As the reader may know, 'quintave' isn't really a normal English word, even in the world of music theory. It's presumably intended to be analogous to the English word 'octave'. In English, 'octave' refers to a 2:1 interval (i.e. the frequency of one tone is exactly twice the frequency of the other), regardless of how many notes a given scale divides that interval into. The interval is called an octave\*** because the higher pitch is the 8th note of most scales used in so-called western music. If we want to interpret quintave as the strictest possible parallel to the word octave, then we can guess that definition A is correct--i.e. that quintave means the interval (possibly but not necessarily spanning 5 notes) at which scales repeat, rather than an interval within a scale.
However, not a lot of music traditions have scales that repeat at the 3:2 interval. In fact, the only real-world music tradition which I've seen described with the word 'quintave' is some traditions within Georgian folk music. A lot of Georgian folk music is characterized by a narrow melodic range and three-part polyphony. As best I understand it, the basic 'scale' has 5 notes evenly divided within 3:2 interval and repeating on the top note (the fifth). Instead of being organized around the octave, the interval between the tonic (the 1st note of the scale) and the 8th note is a little bit bigger than a 2:1 ratio (musicologists call this a 'wide octave'). It sounds super cool and I love Georgian folk music, so I want this to be what Brandon intends for Alethi music to sound like...however. It's hard for me to see how this counts as a ten-note scale, because two quintaves stacked on top of each other gets you nine different notes. That said, I don't really understand half the stuff I've read about Georgian polyphony, so maybe there's a totally valid way of interpreting a quintave scale as having ten notes.
Pentatonic scales that repeat at the octave--unlike pentatonic scales that repeat at the fifth--are incredibly common around the world. If we go by what's more common in earth music, then Navani is more likely using using 'quintave' to refer to a pentatonic octave scale, definition B. If that's what she means, however, then Brandon is--as I understand it--taking some liberties with the English language by describing the Alethi scale with the word quintave. Maybe he thinks it's stupid to refer to the 2:1 interval as an 'octave' if it only has five notes, and so he (or rather, a theoretical Alethi music theorist) has renamed that interval the 'quintave'.
Or maybe Alethi music is polyphonic, and 'quintave' is the Alethi way of expressing the importance of parallel fifths in compositions. There are certainly polyphonic music traditions which rely heavily on parallel fifths are a standard way of harmonizing: the medieval organum, some Appalachian folk music, Icelandic tvísöngur, and apparently some Hungarian folk music as well. Probably some of those traditions also involve pentatonic scales, but I'm too tired of writing this post to confirm that. Are you tired of reading this post?
I hope not, because there's one more possibility, which is that Navani really does mean that the Alethi scale is decatonic, rather than pentatonic. As stated above, we almost always use 'scale' to refer to a pattern of notes that repeats at the octave/2:1 interval (again, regardless of whether the octave actually spans 8 notes). If we look at Navani's description of the Thaylen music system, which sounds like an exact analogue to the Pythagorean 12-tone scale across the octave,**** we might assume that Navani similarly assumes a scale always spans exactly one octave, with none of this fudging about polyphony. There are a few ways of organizing a 12-tone division of the octave into a ten-note scale, though I've yet to find one that I actually enjoy listening to. Mathematically speaking, useful decatonic scales are found by first dividing the octave into 12 or 22 or perhaps 20 (etc) even steps and then determining which 10 notes make up the scale you are going to use for your composition. The idea that an entire culture's music would be composed around a decatonic scale seems incredibly unrealistic--and horrifying--because the maths are comparatively not that intuitive. In the real world, decatonic scales don't exist in a vacuum; they exist because Some People have gotten bored with the vast numbers of pentatonic and heptatonic and enneatonic scales that already exist. Also because Some People are really into maths. However, it is possible that the Alethi are so unbelievably dedicated to the number 10 that they really do only (or mostly) play music based on a decatonic scale.
As someone who prefers more normal music and pleasantly obvious mathematics, I can't begin to guess which decatonic scales could be described as being composed of 'two quintaves'. I have no idea what quintave might mean in the context of decatonic music.
Anyway, if you made it this far and you have an opinion on what 'quintave' means in RoW, or you want to tell me what a cretin I am for not appreciating Messiaen, I'd love to hear it.
*aka, a PhD student.
**The tuning forks Navani uses in RoW makes it seem like this 'ancient system' is based on three pitches, which is an even more restricted system than three intervals. I can't think of a song that uses just three notes, apart from 'Hot Cross Buns'. Idk, maybe the 'ancient' musicians of Roshar--and is Navani referring to the Dawnsingers?--just sang 'Hot Cross Buns' with increasingly insane polyrhythms.
***Well, sometimes. The ancient Greeks called the 2:1 interval the diapason, meaning 'across the whole [scale]', which is a much more accurate name if your scale doesn't actually have 8 notes. Bring back the word diapason!
****Which I learned this afternoon has the same tones as the Chinese shí-èr-lǜ gamut...the more you know. That 12-tone octave really is a nice system, mathematically speaking.
*****This post is now over, like my excuses for not working on my dissertation. This footnote is therefore fake, kind of like the excuse that I didn't have time to finish drafting my introduction this evening because I was too busy trying to come up with a good pun about tritones and Odium's interval.

Hello everyone
I was recommended to Fresh Start last year for having a 1.6 gpa, This fall I did 9 credits, this winter I did 15 (physl210 was 6.0 credits) and I'm doing 6 credits this spring, And I used the UofA GPA Calculator with my current and expected grades, and I will be finishing this spring term with either a 2.9 or 3.0 GPA. I applied for readmission into the Faculty of Science in General a couple months ago and FS team told me that my Spring GPA would be taken into account for my AGPA for admission. I think that a 2.9 or 3.0 GPA is an improvement for this year and I'll have 30 credits done in total. Can anyone give me some reassurance that I could get readmission into BSc General for this coming spring term? I fear that I possibly won't get readmission and I don't know what to do if I don't get back in and the anxiety is killing me....
Thank you everyone in advance

I just put in all new lightbulbs in my bathroom light fixtures- there are 6 total, I replaced 1 and added 3 more that had not had lightbulbs in them for a while. When I flipped the switch back on there was a small pop sound. Lights stayed on, no flickering, humming, buzzing, whatever. Nothing tripped. I took the cover off and there was no blackness anywhere, smell, etc….
Why would that little pop have happened? Could it be because I put in 3 more light bulbs?
I hadn’t really realized that 3 weren’t in at all, 1 had burnt out and the other 2 were what I was getting light from.
I also have no experience whatsoever with electricity, it actually scares me a bit, so I don’t want to fiddle around with wires even for an easy fix.
Thanks!

I was on SSDI for a while and had medicare. I have a decent job now as a salary employee and get health insurance though the job. The rules say I can keep medicare for 8.5 years after going back to work. It's been 4-5 years. Through my job I have a 2k deductible and only pay 20% of the cost. I really don't go to the doctor a lot. I've only been maybe 3-5 times over 4 years. Is it reasonable to cancel the Medicare early or should I hold on to it the rest of the time I can? I pay roughly 170 a month for each provider for a total of 240 a month. Personally I don't think I need both but want some opinions.

Coming from EU4 and HOI where map painting is the norm (and is almost encouraged), CK3 is a total breath of fresh air. The roleplay value, the storytelling, the sheer level of replayability is god tier levels of good. I am currently in the middle of a run where I started as Rhodri the Great of Wales and now rule as his great x6 grandson Pope Rhodri II of the Celtic Church (a religion I created). I unified the British and Irish isles, and Brittany and Iceland to boot, all while spreading the seed of the Aberffraw lineage all over Europe from Burgundy to Denmark. My hybrid culture of Gaelo-Anglo-Norse-Welsh is a complete clusterfuck and I love it. I sadly got demolished in a crusade against me where I lost the Kingdom of England for some Catholic heathen (an Aberffraw traitor - the cheek!) and have been banished to Reykjavik. Apparently kidnapping and executing the Catholic pope did nothing to sway the war score in my favour...Alas. In reality, however, I don't actually care about losing land, because it;s all about the story. How will Pope Rhodri II get his vengence and claim back England? Only time will tell... oh also my Celtic faith reintroduced polygamy and I have 24 children across 5 ot 6 wives (divorced a couple oldies) 2 of which are dwarves because inbreeding with my sister-wife. Anyway folks, that's me. Just wanted to share the love. Thanks for reading!

I feel since the HD side is roller and doesn't move by itself they believe they can understaff it. I mostly work on the HD side, but somedays really would prefer to work ground side of belt.
I actually didn't mind HD side for while. Lot of times I worked it with 9 trucks but now they added 2 more totaling 11 trucks and the whole roller line just get full, and when manager decide to be splitter I feel he makes it worse. He stocks the stuff before it go down the roller and like he always has 04, 08 on the bottom of five plus packages and lot of times theses are ICs.
The whole thing make no sense like light days like Saturday I normally have someone else down there with me which makes no sense I could easy do it by myself, but on busy days it just me lol.

I am giving up totally and entirely. Only keeping hold of the vino and champagne for visitors but really want to get rid of the whiskey, vodka etc. All unopened and sealed - probably around £200 worth and I was thinking to sell it for half of that for the job lot as I want it out of my house. Where should I sell it? I don’t want Facebook to ban me if I try .. not sure if even allowed? Gumtree?? Any suggestions ? Redditors know everything. Thanks

I F38 went to a party with my partner Ahmed M38 last night. Ahmed is Iranian and has grown up with women being more modest then a lot of women he comes across in the uk. I’m English but we have a lot of the same values and I often forget that we were raised differently.
We went to a party held by Ahmeds friend Ali and some of his distant family members were there, my best friend Charlotte joined us and it was so nice to get everyone together as usually my friends and Ahmed’s don’t really mix.
I have been with Ahmed for 9 years and I have never farted, burped or really discussed any bodily functions with him! It’s my choice as much as his and I wasn’t brought up like that it’s just how I am. We are just not the kind of couple that talks to each other on the toilet.
Charlotte thinks our relationship is strange and that Ahmed is a bad influence on me because I’m not free and open about certain things. She is a lot less inhibited and often comments that she will poo in any public toilet and is proud to be a “naked mum” with her kids - basically nothing is private. We are total opposites but it’s such a tiny issue it never really comes up. Ahmed has bought me tampons and been in an ambulance with me and cleaned me up in a lot of states when I was poorly. I just don’t think it’s normal to exit a toilet and give a running commentary about what I produced and waft a newspaper saying “Give it 5 minutes” or cock a leg and let a huge fart rip!
At the party Charlotte was talking to some of Ahmed’s friends and then let out an enormous fart and laughed and said she could feel a turtle head then scurried away thinking she was hilarious.
Ahmed was upset and angry and said she humiliated him and we argued on the way home. I was going to apologise but he knows what Charlotte is like and still invited her. I refused to apologise and Ahmed said his friends including Ali were really disgusted and he was worried they would think badly of me by association. I know it’s a different culture and I do agree Charlotte should have been more discreet, but I feel it’s for her to apologise not me, AITA?
