As someone with a progressive disease: healing magic. I would pay all the bullion and cattle and sacks of wheat necessary to heal, or at least regress this stupid thing.

This is all spoilers, spoiler tagging doesn’t really work so proceed with caution

Several from the Misborn series really hurt. I think Vin’s death most affected me, but Kelsier was a hard one to swallow as well.

I think the biggest impact though is probably from Swan Song? Sister Creep hit me so hard. I read the book young and I’d never read anything so bittersweet and hopeful but so painful. It really stamped some new emotions in me I think.

Or, gosh, almost anyone in Bly Manor, but especially Dani.

Tagging onto this. Has anyone tried to play Glover recently? That used to be one of my favorites as a kid and I keep thinking about emulating it.

Oh yes yes yes. I am absolutely going to do that

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

The whole album Days of Future’s Past by the Moody Blues (with the London orchestra)

I’ve been trying to do a replay recently but I can’t seem to get it to run on my modern day machine, haha. How were you able to play it?

Also, it’s great that you think it’s still 10/10. It has always been held near and dear to my heart.

Not DnD per se, but Pathfinder. I have several ideas in my back pocket haha.

• Granny cloistered cleric, war priest, or life witch. She’s an absolute mama bear who lost her son who was also an adventurer, and decided that no other parent should go through that. So she falls in with a little group and makes it her duty to keep them safe.

• Pixie runic barbarian. I haven’t totally looked into this, but I think that would allow the pixie to use a runic weapon that’s a normal size so potentially the pixie wouldn’t have to be in the same place or not be able to flank.

• Oread kineticist focusing only on Earth.

• Starlit span magus

Hmmm that’s difficult.

FEAR, probably. It was a 10/10 for my childhood for sure, but it’s probably a 7/10 total ?

Ah you’re right. I figured the US overall would kinda answer the question. But I guess NW Washington state is where I’m looking.

I don’t really do resolutions, but I’m looking forward to 2025 being a (hopefully) better year. I’ve already started a few things but I have a lot on my sort of to-dos.

• Find a new place to live
• Finalize divorce
• Focus on healthier foods, better habits
• Take my dog to a wide open beach and let him run
• Take back my independence
• Hope and pray the new political administration is more incompetent than they want to be
• Focus on my friends and found family, be a good person

The future holds so much right now and while I’m still struggling to feel optimistic, I do get the small tingles of hope now and again.

I feel like Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride could qualify. If only in a sort of existential crisis kind of way.

Maybe Loss?

I ran up to my mom once, completely serious and said, “Mom! I know why all fat people are short. They use up all their skin!”

I felt like a genius until she laughed so hard she fell on the floor and peed a little.
