Seen it twice, probably going to go a third time.
There's a lot of interesting things I noticed on rewatch. Second time I really tried to pick up on all the minor details, pay more attention to the script, the construction of the movie since I wasn't too busy having my eyeballs blasted into the back of my skull... but on rewatch, I think this probably one of the best Spider-Man stories ever put to film, if not the best. It's really painfully refreshing to see this after the MCU's take on the character left me near ice cold.
All the multiverse stuff aside, the movie is built around an idea, and a question.
Can Miles have his cake and eat it too? Is it possible to be Spider-Man without the personal sacrifices that heroism demands of the role, and the personal tragedy that defines who he is? They straight up say this as a line of dialogue. The school counselor flat out says to Miles' parents that he can't have his cake and eat it too, to which Miles responds, flippantly, unless you buy two cakes!
It's no coincidence that the movie then proceeds to show him buying two cakes and messing them both up.
Is it possible to be Spider-Man without having to sacrifice anything? The movie immediately throws Pavitr Prabhakar up as a case study for this. His introduction is perfect. Pavitr's dialogue: "Being Spider-Man is so easy." He is someone who has never had to sacrifice, had everything come naturally to him, and expects his problems to solve themselves ("Another easy case for Spider-Man!"). That's why his canon event involved the death of his girlfriend's father. As he's trying to pull the bus with his girlfriend in it up from the bridge, he's pleading, not joking. "I can save both!" Thanks to Miles, he does, and the captain immediately approves of his relationship with his daughter.
This whole idea comes to a head with the orbital elevator chase. It's not a heroic or triumphant moment, even though Miguel is essentially a feral lunatic at that point in the movie, sick of cleaning up other people's messes and Miles' in particular. The scriptwriters chose to have him reference the "My name is Miles Morales" speech, but also notable is what they omit from that speech. The full text includes the line 'And for six months I have been Brooklyn's one and only Spider-Man'. He says the line, but he ends it at 'I was bitten by a radioactive spider', the thing that gives him his powers, the thing that makes him special. He's not Spider-Man in that moment, because he's acting entirely based on his own desires, to hell with the risk it would cause to his own universe or the larger multiverse. He's a fifteen year old kid who refuses to lose his dad.
And when he returns to what he thinks is his universe, he's hopped up on what he's done. The swinging sequence through the rain, showing what he's been through, throws up Spider-Ham's line - "the worst thing about this job is that you can't save everybody". Miles speaking to who he thinks is his mother is uncomfortable. Even the dialogue is ominous. Compared to the sequence where Gwen pours out her heart to her father, this has some much darker hints. Miles says his mother was right (her concerns about how the people he meets might not love him like she does), but it doesn't matter, because he beat them. He beat them all. He brags to his mother about it. He tells her because in that moment, he thinks he's stronger, better than the others, and he can tell his family without consequence. At this moment, Miles is fully convinced he can have it all.
Of course, he's then immediately faced with the realization that because he got bitten from a spider not from his universe, Earth-42's New York looks like Gotham City on a Tuesday.
(One incredibly dark hint I noticed - when he realizes he's in the wrong Earth, we dimly hear his Uncle Aaron discussing money with his mother. His mother is talking about shifts, saying she won't have the money, and his uncle is reassuring her that it's alright, she doesn't have to pay him immediately. Just from these brief snippets of dialogue you can infer that his uncle is extorting money from his mother.)
I'm actually more worried about the third movie, because they have to answer this question definitively. If Miles can really have his cake and eat it too, it makes the sacrifices every other Spider-Man has gone through to become who they are and what they've done inherently pointless. There's no reason that Peter wouldn't save Uncle Ben if Miles could save his father without consequence, and then you get the same issues that happen when the Flash decides to go back in time and save his mother. There's some issue with having canon be the critical story element, because a canon event and what counts as breaking canon/causing the universe to collapse, as well as the ability to model canon events with a reasonable degree of accuracy, have serious implications for every universe they're in.

Long time customer of doordash. I’m gonna try to make this short and simple to understand because many many many people seem to be complacent and have trouble comprehending the truth. Argue all you like but tipping is not required. Shocking but true. Now don’t get me wrong. If I’m ordering from somewhere wayyy far out from me I will tip at least 10 but everyday I lose more and more respect for drivers because so many are lazy, rude, incompetent, and just downright delusional. When you sign up for doordash you’re well aware of how little the company likes to pay their subordinates. You’re well aware that gas is expensive and some orders will take longer and be farther out than others. You’re well aware that customers don’t wanna tip a lot sometimes or just flat out cannot afford to. Yet even understanding all that, you can’t even make the sensible decision that maybe the smart thing to do would be to get mad at doordash itself and not the customers. I’m sick of hearing, “if the tip is low don’t expect me to rush”. Or “tip higher next time”. Or “go get your food yourself then”. Because the fact of the matter is, a tip is not required and it also does not determine the quality of service you should be providing to all customers. It’s YOUR JOB to be driving around, picking up the accepted orders and delivering them. Someone shouldn’t feel like they have to drain their pockets to tip you a large sum of money if they can’t afford to because the dashers are making them feel like bad people if they don’t.
Like I stated in my title doordash employees will do everything but take up the complaints about pay with the company themselves. Instead they berate the customers, give them poor service, harass them for tips, purposely ignore customer instructions, sit around in their cars and complain for 20 minutes before delivering orders, don’t answer phone calls, don’t answer texts, steal customers food, and are too lazy to get out of their cars to look for an apartment number to ensure the right people get their food.
When they could simply not work for doordash OR start taking some action and going after the grimy company for having the audacity to give them such low wage instead of sitting around and whining about it all the time. That’s something this country is really good at, sitting around and bi*ching about things constantly instead of actually trying to do something about it.
If you go to any other continent away from the USA. They all laugh at tipping culture because they think it’s ridiculous that the customers are being pressured into paying the employees rather than who those employees work for.
All in all everything I say here is true and there’s no denying it. It’s just factual, and anyone who gets mad reading this or disagrees. You’re who I’m talking about.

My fiancé (20M) and I (20F) got together 3 and a half year ago and had a very hard time, given I have a lot of trauma of different kinds. The start was very difficult because he had to adapt to everything that scares me and that I needed to feel ok, and he has been with me through depressive episoded and s*icide attemps. Today I have done a lot of therapy and I don't specifically feel better about my past but I have learnt how to cope with my feelings and accept things as they are. I proposed to him last year, as I love him to bits and believe no-one will ever understand me like he does. I just believe we are soulmates. (He also proposed back after that lol) My fiancé has always been great, taking care of me, cleaning, cooking, helping me through the hard days, and overall being with me every day in everything. We are inseparable, we do everything together. Sleep, shower, go out, go to the bank, etc. I thought this wouldn't last, "honeymoon phase and all" but even if things are a little different, we still do everything we did. My fiancé is stubborn at times, ignoring my advice or my requests sometimes (I have neen diagnosed to have narcissistic tendencies so I'll give an example: ). He refused to change lanes when he was driving my car so we could put gaz if the prices were ok (wanted to see the sign and be next to the exit in case they're good). Turns out the prices were fine but we couldn't leave the main road, being on the opposite lane to the exit. Lately I am a little irritable because of a lasting depressive episode and instead of cooling down, everything he does piles up, awaiting to burst. Today, we were sleeping together and the covers were weird, I think I was sleeping on half of it (not sure I wasn't fully awake). My fiancé tried to get the covers but they were stuck. I was about to roll over when he just took the covers I had on me to put them on himself. Which is extremely out of character, since he has NEVER done anything selfish like that (clothes off my back and all). Later, he got up and left the room. He came back a bit later and opened the door as you usually would, which I have told him not to do since we just got a tiny kitten and she stays behing the door so we should open it slowly. He didn't and of course she was behind and he hurt her. I asked him to check on her ans he told me she was fine before leaving again. I checked myself and her paw was hot and she was limping. So not fine. We had a conversation about it and he told me she "probably just got scared". I am pissed.
Am I being excessive? I can't tell if my trauma is making me oversensitive or react the wrong way, it has happened before. Am I being too sensitive?

Always been a loner, and lover of my sanctum of solitude. Only had a few close friends that have been like minded. As a teen it got better because I got into the alt/rock/emo scene so just met a lot more people I vibe with. Early 20s was similar in the small circle of college friends I had. Still, I realize I have this habit when I meet new people. One, I'm cold and have resting bitch face. I'm like this and don't make any efforts, because usually the social setting is not comfortable for a variety of reasons. Two, I'm suppressing myself fully but try to come off as kind/agreeable and an avid listener. I do this when I enjoy the social setting and so I tend to just listen and engage that way, taking mental notes for later. I barely volunteer information about myself, always asking others about themselves. This works best for extroverts that like talking about themselves lol. Sadly, I feel like this method makes me seem fake. Like, I've overheard someone describe me as such when they first met me. So, either I'm a cold bitch or a fake bitch it seems. On extremely rare occasions do I ever meet new people with a strong enough vibe to fully engage with as myself. We just vibe entirely, instant beastie type situation. Very rare of course. So, does anyone else socialize like this? I'm mid 30s now and realize this is just how I'm wired. Is this something that I should work on? I feel like my anxiety still gets to me after all these years and either I try harder to be more charismatic and extroverted or just accept myself.

I started on Pinterest yesterday and have posted 5 pins, I got notifications saying I had 2 followers and one of my posts has 15 reactions yet my dashboard says I have no views or followers. Just wondering if it’s a glitch or something or it just takes a while to update because the dashboard says “updates in real time”

Before we start, I'd like to give a great thanks to the "DM Mentor's Guild" discord, for without them I wouldn't have been able to make this build at all! Make sure to check them out! This server has experienced DMs with a knack for helping others tell an immersive fantasy, balance encounters, and fix game related issues. If your question requires a personal touch, there's no one I'd refer you to over the good guys at the "DM Mentor's Guild" server!
This is a guide for how to play Spider-Man in DnD 5e. Of course, it will be impossible for this to be all-encompassing, but I’ll do my best.
“With great power, comes great responsibility.”
Race.
Peter Parker isn't a mutant, but rather just a human. Due to the spiderbite, he’s far from your normal high schooler, however, so we’ll make him a Variant Human! Variant Humans get a feat at level 1, and we’ll be taking the Crusher feat to weave to yank enemies with our webs and launch them with our super strength! This feat gives us the ability to move a creature 5ft, once per turn, when you hit with an attack that deals bludgeoning damage. Additionally, when we crit on an attack, all attacks against our target have advantage until the start of our next turn. Finally, we may boost our Strength or Constitution by +1, and we’ll choose Constitution. As a Variant Human, we are also able to increase 2 of our stats by +1. Let’s boost Dexterity and Wisdom for better web-slinging and stronger Spidey-Senses! Finally, let’s grab Perception as a skill, to represent our peak ability and health!
Stat Array.
Peter’s got a wide array of abilities, so to cover this we’ll be using Point Buy, which gives us 27 points to put in our stats, which start at 8 as a default. Each increase above 13 will cost 2 points instead of 1.
9 points in Dexterity! Spider-Man is a slippery, nimble fellow with an agile fighting style! Our Dexterity will be 15 + 1 = 16, with a +3 modifier.
5 points in Wisdom! Peter’s always had a good heart and a just head on his shoulders. Additionally, Wisdom represents his senses, like Spider-Sense! Our Wisdom will be 13 + 1 = 14, with a +2 modifier.
5 points in Constitution! Spidey definitely can take a beating, but he’s more of the more frail characters of Marvel. Our Constitution will be a 13 + 1 = 14, with a +2 modifier.
5 points in Intelligence. On top of being nimble and perceptive, Peter’s smart beyond measure- to the point where he made his extremely strong, chemically binding web fluid by himself! Our Intelligence will be a 13, with a +1 modifier.
2 points in Strength. Spider-Man can lift metal fortresses, but we just can't have everything. Still, we can’t dump it. Our Strength will be a 10, with a +0 modifier.
0 points in Charisma. Peter’s a nerd who constantly gets picked on by Flash Thompson. Even as Spider-Man, he’s not exactly appreciated by the people of New York. Yeah, yeah, I know -he still had to have amazing Charisma to bag Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, and Black Cat- but we can’t have everything. Our Charisma will be an 8, with a -1 modifier.
Background.
Peter Parker was a high schooler that, by circumstance, was bit by a radioactive spider, did a wrestling gig, saw his uncle die -you know the story already. Let’s grab Deception to lie to Aunt May, and Investigation, to devise tactics to defeat our enemies! Let’s call this the Web Head background.
Spider-Man is a fast, nimble hero who crawls walls and prefers to dodge attacks over tank through them, so we’ll kick them off as a Monk 1!
Let’s grab Athletics and Acrobatics as skills, to do whatever a spider can. We gain proficiency in Strength and Dexterity saving throws. We are also proficient in all simple weapons and short swords. For our artisan’s tool, let’s grab Tinker’s Tools.
Our favorite wall-crawler wears nothing but his costume in action, so it’s good that all Monks gain Unarmoured Defense! We gain a new way of calculating AC; 10 + Dexterity modifier + Wisdom Modifier! In other words, our AC does not come from armour, but from quickly evading blows and predicting attacks through Spider-Sense!
We also gain Martial Arts! We may use Dexterity instead of Strength for Unarmed Strikes or Monk weapons, which means that we can viably use all of our martial jabs and kicks. Furthermore, when rolling damage for a unarmed strike or monk weapon, we may role our martial art’s die + our Dexterity or Strength modifier in place of our usual damage. Our starting die is a d4. Finally, when we hit with an unarmed strike or Monk weapon on our turn, we may make an unarmed strike as a bonus action.
We’ll use Unarmed Strikes for our punches and kicks, and for our web shooters, we will actually use a sling! Why? It’s a 1-handed ranged weapon that does bludgeoning damage. With this, we can use our Crusher 5ft pull with our unarmed strike, which is our super-strength, or with our sling, which is yanking an enemy with our web shooters.
Monk 2.
At this level, our training allows us the ability to harness the mystic energy of Ki, which is a representation of our Spider Powers! We have Ki points equal to our Monk level, and regain all Ki on a short rest. Our Ki save DC is equal to 8 + proficiency bonus + Wisdom modifier. We may use Ki to fuel the following effects:
Flurry of Blows: Right after we take the attack action, we may spend 1 Ki point to make 2 Unarmed Strikes as a bonus action! This is a combo!
Patient Defense: We may spend 1 Ki point to take the dodge action as a bonus action. This is you focusing on dodging.
Step of the Wind: We may spend 1 Ki point to take the dash or disengage action as a bonus action! Be the spider JJJ just can’t squish!
Finally, we gain Unarmoured Movement at this level. While wearing no armor or a shield, we gain a bonus to our movement speed, which makes sense given how slippery Spider-Man is. Right now, it’s +10ft, and it’ll increase as we level up.
Monk 3.
At the 3rd level, All Monks get to choose a Monastic Tradition! For skirmishers like Spider-Man, Drunken Master is the best pick (you don’t actually have to drink for it to work).
As a Drunken Master, we gain proficiency in Performance, which we use to emulate our alter-ego ( also, use it for the dance ), and Brewer’s Supplies, to brew some New York joe.
All Drunken Masters also gain Drunken Technique, which gives us +10 movement speed and the benefit of the disengage action, when we use Flurry of Blows.
We also gain Deflect Missiles as a 3rd level Monk! As a reaction to being it with a ranged attack, we may deflect it, reducing the damage of the attack by 1d10 + Dexterity modifier + Monk Level. If we reduce the attack’s damage to zero, we may throw the projectile back as a monk weapon using the same reaction, at the cost of 1 Ki point! Catching a projectile and throwing it back is just the thing Spider-Man would do.
Monk 4.
At this level, we gain our First ASI! As a Monk, we desperately need them, so let’s not squander this bonus and boost our Dexterity by +2! Our Dexterity is now 16 + 2 = 18, with a +4 modifier!
We also gain Slow Fall at this level! As a reaction, we may reduce the damage from a fall that we take by 5 times our Monk level! It would be a shame if you took falling damage from your own jump, after all?
Monk 5.
At this level, we gain Extra Attack! When we take the attack action, we may make 2 attacks with that action! Spider-Man doesn’t take his rogue’s gallery down with one powerful strike, but with many rapid ones.
Additionally, we also gain Stunning Strike at this level! When we hit with a creature with an attack, we may expend 1 Ki point and force our opponent to make a Constitution saving throw. If they fail, they are stunned until the end of your next turn. This is you webbing up your opponent!
Alright, we’ve got a decent amount of martial ability and spider strength, let’s grab a few more specific abilities. To do that, let’s multiclass into . . .
Wizard 1!
All Wizards get Spellcasting, but we’ll reflavor yours as abilities you get courtesy of your radioactive blood, and/or your gadgets! After all, Spider-Men in general are at least a little bit mystic due to the Web of Life and Destiny. With how quick-witted you are, Intelligence will be your spellcasting modifier. As a Wizard, we get a spellbook for our spells, which for you is just your school notebook.
For Cantrips, we’ll pick . .
Mage Hand, to yank items towards you with a thwip.
Light, which is a light.
Mending, which is webbing something back together.
1st level Wizards also get to add 6 spells into their spellbook! Let’s grab . . .
Shield, which is a Web Barrier.
Longstrider, even more dexterous movement.
Catapult, which is using your webs to slingshot an object.
Gift of Alacrity, for even better reflexes.
Thunderwave, which is our impact webs.
Jump, which is how we’ll do web swinging. It isn’t climbing and isn’t flying, but I think this is a good compromise. With this and Step of the Wind, we have a 60ft long jump and a 18ft high jump.
As a 1st level Wizard, we also get Arcane Recovery, which allows us to, once per long rest, recover spell slots with a total level equal to or less then our Wizard level. The spell slots recovered cannot be above 6th level, to reload and gain more ammo!
Wizard 2.
2nd level Wizards get an Arcane Tradition, and the War Magic Tradition is the pick for superheroes that apply their intelligence in both rigorous study and brutal combat!
War Magic Wizards gain Arcane Deflection, which allows us to gain a +2 bonus to AC against the attack or a +4 bonus to that saving throw as a reaction. If we use this feature, the only spells we may cast next turn are cantrips. This is great for us, since we rely on weapon attacks anyway! This is our Spider-Sense.
We also gain Tactical Wit, which allows us to add our Intelligence modifier to our Initiative!
For our new spells, lets learn . . .
Silvery Barbs, which is distracting our enemy with a spurt of webs!
Identify, which is us using our Intelligence to figure out a mysterious magic item.
Wizard 3.
For our Wizard spells of this level, let’s learn . . .
Web, which is an AOE web (duh).
Earthbind, which is yanking Green Goblin down with webs.
Okay, we’ve got everything we need from Wizard, so let’s jump back to . . .
Monk 6.
At 6th level, we gain Ki Empowered Strikes! Our Unarmed Strikes now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming non-magical resistance.
As a Drunken Master Monk, we gain Tipsy Sway! This gives us two benefits:
Leap to Your Feet: When we’re prone, we can instantly flip off the floor, costing us only 5ft movement instead of half.
Redirect Attack: When we are missed with an attack role, we may spend one Ki point to cause that attack to hit one creature within 5ft of us, other than ourselves.
Both of these abilities are very fitting for Spidey!
Our unarmoured movement bonus increases to +15ft.
Monk 7.
At this level, We gain Evasion, which allows us to take half damage from a failed Dexterity save, and no damage from a successful Dexterity save! This is also a good ability for Spider-Man.
Additionally, we gain Stillness of Mind! As an action, we can end one effect on ourself that is causing us to be charmed or frightened. Spider-Man’s always had a good heart and a strong will, so it makes sense that it would be difficult to sway him with charms or frightens.
Monk 8.
At this level, we gain another ASI! Let’s boost Dexterity by +2 to cap it off at 18 + 2 = 20, with a +5 modifier! Now we’ve got the maximum amount of nimbleness that we can achieve.
Monk 9.
At this level, we gain an Unarmoured Movement Improvement, which allows us to run up walls and across water. Running up walls is our wallcrawling, and I guess across water is some shoe gadget you made?
Monk 10.
At this level, we gain Purity of Body, which makes us immune to poison and disease. Spider-Man’s got super-healing, after all.
Our unarmoured movement bonus increases to +20ft.
Monk 11.
At the 11th level of Monk as a Drunken Master, we gain Drunkard’s Luck! We always have a bout of luck when we need it most, as whenever we make an attack, save, or check and have disadvantage, we can spend 2 Ki to cancel out the disadvantage.
Monk 12.
Another ASI at this level. Let’s boost our Wisdom by +2 for higher AC and greater Spidey-Senses! Our Wisdom is now 14 + 2 = 16, with a +3 modifier!
Monk 13.
At the 13th level of Monk, we gain Tongue of the Sun and Moon! We are now able to understand all spoken languages, and all creatures that speak a language can understand what we can say! Spider-Man is beloved world-wide.
Monk 14.
At this level, we gain Diamond Soul! We’re now proficient in every single saving throw, including death saves, and if we fail a save, we may spend a Ki point to reroll!
Our unarmoured movement bonus increases to +25ft.
Monk 15.
All 15th level Monks gain Timeless Body! We no longer suffer the ill effects of aging and cannot be aged magically. I guess this explains why was perpetually in highschool (yeah I know the real reason is the comic line restarts).
Monk 16.
At this level, we gain another ASI! Wisdom is important for us, so let’s boost our Wisdom by +2! Our Wisdom is now 16 + 2 = 18, with a +4 modifier.
And finally, we’ll cap off our webbed wonder with . . .
Monk 17.
This is our final Drunken Monk Feature, Intoxicated Frenzy! When we use Flurry of blows, we can make up to 3 additional attacks with our bonus action, provided that each Flurry of blows attack targets a different target.

Pros 

We are extremely mobile! 55ft movement base, 110ft movement on a dash, 220ft with two, 20ft horizontal jump and 18ft high jump with Step of the Wind and the Jump spell, and we can crawl on walls and run on water! We’re really hard to pin down, especially since we can disengage for free when using Flurry!
We’ve got great defenses! 19 AC, Proficiency in every save, we can remove disadvantage for 1 Ki, we can reroll for 1 Ki, +5 to AC through Shield, +2 for free through War Magic, and +4 to saves also through War Magic.
We’re great at handling crowds, as we can make 7 attacks with Flurry of blows as long as we hit a different creature each time, and can make a Stunning Strike attempt on each hit!
Cons
We dipped Wizard for Web, but we have a really low Spellcasting Modifier and as such a really easy save to beat.
We missed one of the best Monk features, Empty Body.
A sling is just worse than a shortbow (in DnD, slings are crazy IRL)
Black Suit Spider-Man Quickbuild
Miles: “Let’s go man, before he gets too far!”
Peter: “No . . . he’s mine . . .”
Miles: “You sure? He’s got big teeth.”
Peter: “So do I.”
This is still Peter, but now he’s making use of the dark powers of the Symbiote, so he’ll still be a Variant Human but instead of Crusher, we’ll grab Eldritch Adept and gain the Mask of Many Faces invocation, which gives us at-will castings if Disguise Self. This’ll be how we shift from
our classic and black suit.
Our main stat is Strength.
Take 1 in Monk for Martial Arts.
Put the following 6 levels in Barbarian, which fits the much more brutalistic nature of your newly adopted fighting style. Take the Beast subclass for large symbiote weapons! Your maw is conjoining your arms and spawning a giant toothy jaw, your claws are tendrils at the tip of your fingers, and your tail is a great black tentacle that leaps out of you. Not to mention, you can crawl and jump(webswing) long distances now too. We’ll be using the Barbarian’s unarmoured defense.
Put the next 2 levels in Monk and take the Astral Self subclass, which we’ll reflavor as our stretchy symbiote attacks. We’ve got 3 Ki, with 9 over the course of the day, assuming 2 short rests.
Put your remaining 11 levels in Barbarian. Infectious Fury is placing a mote of your symbiote within your target and making them attack your ally. Or, it’s just scaring the shit out of them if you choose the other option. Call of the Hunt is giving a bit of your symbiote to the entire party.
Venom Quickbuild
“We are Venom.”
While building Black Suit Spiderman I noticed that the build would also work perfectly for Venom, which makes sense.
This build would be the same as with Black Suit, but we’ll grab a 1 Rogue level at the beginning and grab Expertise in Strength and Intimidation.
Carnage Quickbuild
“I am the ultimate insanity! I am CARNAGE!”
This build is the exact same as Venom’s, except we grab Rogue 2 after level 6 of Barbarian for Cunning Action, and we’ll put Expertise in Acrobatics instead of Athletics.
Spider-Gwen Quickbuild
“All right, people, let's start at the beginning one last time. My name is Gwen Stacy. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for the last two years I've been the one and only Spider-Woman. You guys know the rest . . .”
This build is the same as the original, except instead of Crusher we’ll grab Mobile, and we’ll take a 1 level Rogue dip after our Wizard levels for Expertise, which we’ll put in Perception and Acrobatics.
Miles Morales Quickbuild
“Okay, let's do this one last time, yeah? For real this time. This is it. My name is Miles Morales. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for like two days, I've been the one and only Spider-Man. I think you know the rest . . .”
Miles is a high schooler who was bitten by a radioactive spider, just like Peter, so he’ll be a Variant Human too, although for him we’ll grab Mobile instead of Crusher for hit and run tactics. He’ll still use a sling for webs. Make sure to grab Sleight of Hand to swipe the USB from Peter.
Our main stat is Dexterity, but we also want decent Wisdom for AC and saves.
From there, put all 20 levels in Monk and take the Ascendant Dragon subclass. We can change our unarmed strikes to elemental damage, so this is how we get our lighting abilities (don’t use it for any other damage type because that’s out of character!). Same thing goes for Breath of the Dragon - it’s a blast of Lighting Wings unfurled is our web swinging, and Aspect of Wyrm and Ascendent Aspect are already built off of flavor we’ve already established. Empty Body is our invisibility, and Stunning Strike is a zapping stun.
Spider-Man 2099 Quickbuild
“What has yesterday done to tomorrow?”
Miguel O’hara is a human, but his DNA was overwritten with that of a spider, so we’ll choose Simic Hybrid, and our level 1 mutation will be Nimble Climber. ( Ask your DM if you can have the Sunlight Sensitivity trait )
Our main stat is Dexterity, but we also want decent Wisdom for AC and saves.
Put 5 levels in Monk and choose the Open Hand subclass. Our Open Hand Technique is our super strength and agility, and Stunning Strike is injecting someone with our venom. Choose Grappling Appendages, which are just your claws.
From there, put 2 levels in Rogue ( ask your DM if you can use Sneak Attack on Unarmed Strikes ) for Cunning Action and Expertise. Take Expertise in Athletics for grapples and Perception for your super hearing and supervision.
From there, put 2 levels in Artificer and grab the Repeating Shot infusion for your organic webbing, Sending Stones, which are tech communications, Goggles of Night for your darkvision, and the Wand of Detection, which is your AI Lyra doing a scan for you.
From there, put 3 levels in Wizard and take the Conjuration subclass, which gives you a 3d printer you can use to make small items with. Choose all the spells that we chose in the original build.
Then, dump the remaining 8 levels into Monk. Wholeness of the body is our healing factor, and Tranquility is simply us being hard to hit.
Spider-Noir Quickbuild
“Wherever I go, the wind follows. And the wind smells like rain."
This Peter was bitten just like our Peter was, so we’ll make him a Variant Human. Instead of Crusher we’ll grab Gunner for your revolver.
Our main stat is Dexterity, but we also want decent Wisdom for AC and saves.
Put 5 levels in Monk, choose Kensei, and grab a Revolver. Our Stunning Strikes are Knock-Out punches.
Put 3 levels in Fighter and take the Blight Fighting style to fight in pitch black darkness. Choose the Battlemaster subclass. Grab Trip Attack, Feinting Attack, and Ambush.
Take 2 levels in Rogue for Cunning Action and Expertise. Take Expertise in Athletics and Stealth.
Take 3 levels in Wizard and choose the Divination subclass, which is your Spider-Sense. Choose the same spells as the ones we chose for our initial build, except swap out Earthbind for Spider Climb.
Dump the remaining 7 levels in Monk.
Peni Parker Quickbuild
“私の名前はペニ・パーカーです。私は 3145 年のニューヨーク出身です。父のロボットの中に住んでいるクモと精神的なつながりがあります。そして私たちは永遠に親友であり続けます。”
Peni Parker wasn’t given power by a radioactive spider, but she bonded with it -oh, and that spider controls an anime mech that she pilots. Let’s make Peni a Variant Human and grab Telekinetic, which is you pulling or pushing something with webs.
Our main ability will be Intelligence.
Put all 20 levels in Artificer, and choose Armourer as your subclass to get your SP//dr mecha.
Choose the Guardian Model. We’ll be wearing Full Plate.
Choose Enhanced Defense, Goggles of the Night, Enhanced Arcane Focus, Armour of Magical Strength, Boots of Elvenkind, Slippers of Spider Climbing, Boots of Striding and Springing, Ring of Jumping, Belt of Hill Giant Strength, Ring of Protection, Spell-Refueling Ring, and Helm of Awareness as infusions.
Pick Booming Blade, Sword Burst, Guidance, and Thorn Whip as cantrips. Prepare Web, Spider Climb, Stoneskin, Haste, Absorb Elements, Detect Magic, Faerie Fire, Identify, Jump, Longstrider, Kinetic Jaunt, Dispel Magic, Glyph of Warding, Water Breathing, and Alarm. We also get Magic Missile, Thunderwave, Mirror Image, Shatter, Hypnotic Pattern, Lighting Bolt, Fire Shield, Greater Invisibility, Passwall, and Wall of Force.
Booming blade is a sonic strike, Sword Burst is a 360 swipe, Guidance is looking something up, and Thornwhip is a grappling hook. Web, Jump, Longstrider, Kinetic Jaunt, and Spider Climb are typical spider-person stuff. Stoneskin, Absorb Elements, Alarm, Fire Shield, and Dispel Magic are SP//dr’s defenses. Detect Magic and Identify are scanners, Faerie Fire is targeting systems, Glyph of Warding is a trap ( I guess you can do that now? ), and Water Breathing is just SP//dr being airtight. Magic Missile is web missiles ( yeah I know it’s a stretch ), Passwall is smashing through a wall, Wall of Force is a forcefield, Lighting Bolt and Shatter is techy stuff the mech probably can do (?), Haste is a battle focus, and Greater Invisibility is out of character so don’t use it.
Spider-Ham Quickbuild
"I was bitten by a radioactive pig."
Spider-Ham was a spider that was bitten by a radioactive pig. Instead of trying to comprehend the logic check that such an origin demands, let’s just make him a Gnome, which fits since he’s a tricky, short fella. Specifically, a Forest Gnome, and we’ll use Minor Illusion for our cartoon shenanigans. We’ll use a light hammer for our mallet.
Our main stat is Dexterity, but we also want decent Wisdom for AC and saves.
From there, the build follows our original Spider-Man build, except instead of taking 3 levels in Wizard, we’ll take 3 in Warlock. Choose the Hexblade subclass.
Take the Beast Speech and Improved Pact Weapon invocations.
Take the Pact of the Blade boon. This is your hammerspace.
For cantrips, grab Prestidigitation, True Strike, and Mage Hand. For spells, learn Shield, Hex, Expeditious Retreat, and Shadow Blade.
Expeditious Retreat is just running fast, Prestidigitation and Major image will be used for cartoon stuff like making a lightbulb appear over your head. True Strike is waiting for the right time to strike. Shield is dodging out of the way, Hex is a combat focus, and Shadowblade is a random weapon pulled out of hammer space ( it deals psychic damage because your opponent can’t comprehend that they’re being beaten by a pig ).

So I've been taking Concerta XL (extended release) for two years now. I started at 18mg for one year and then 36mg for the second year.
On 18mg I noticed an improvement in ADHD symptoms like concentration with a small increase in anxiety, loss of appetite and difficulty sleeping. The side affects seemed manageable in the long term and I still had some difficulty with concentration. It took months of convincing my doctor to increase the dose but they finally agreed a year later.
Increasing to 36mg was rough, it took months of adjusting to side affects and experimenting with my routine to feel somewhat normal, but the up-side was that I felt like I could concentrate normally for the first time in my life.
But after a year of 36mg the side affects might be more trouble than it's worth. Every morning I feel intense anxiety for at least an hour or two after taking them. Despite the improvement in concentration, I can feel so wired that it's difficult to shift my focus to other tasks and I sometimes find myself sitting in one place for up to an hour getting lost in anxious daydreaming. I can technically focus on reading better than I have in years, but I find myself stopping every few sentences or paragraphs because my mind is going on anxiety driven tangents for several minutes before I realise I've lost track of what I'm doing.
It feels like I've replaced ADHD distraction with anxiety distraction instead.
I also feel like a different person than before, like I've lost a spark with my personality. I often feel emotionally numb and apathetic to both my own life and people I care about. This is especially noticeable at night when it wears off and it feels like an emotional filter has been removed. I feel restless constantly, I can almost never relax, like I'm moving from one anxious thought or behaviour to another throughout the whole day.
This might sound like a clear case of being on too high a dose but there's a few complications. Despite these side effects, I've also made a lot of progress with my self development in the past two years. It's difficult to tell how much either dose of Concerta has helped with specific problems as I also have comorbid anxiety and depression (maybe also borderline OCD, but that's only something I've started noticing on the 36mg dose, so it could just be an increase in anxiety). I've tried several antidepressants in the past, none of which worked, and each made me feel numb and robotic. I'd be wary of adding on an antidepressant to manage the anxiety symptoms as the 36mg dose already increases that numbness.
As well, the doctors I'd been seeing knew very little about ADHD medication and I had to fight tooth and nail just to go from 18 to 36mg. Titration for them wasn't a matter of adjusting dosage every few weeks to find the right balance, but instead was giving appointments once every 3 or 4 months and refusing to even try a higher dose.
I'd like to try 27mg but last time I checked, the pharmacy I go to doesn't stock them because there isn't enough demand (the wonders of profit driven healthcare haha)
I have an appointment with my GP this week so I can run this by him as he's more sound than the previous mental health doctors I'd been going to, but I'm just curious if anyone has advice or experiences similar to this.
Until then I'll try 18mg for a few days to see if it helps
TLDR: 36mg has mostly removed ADHD symptoms but hugely increased anxiety + emotional numbness. I'm considering reducing dosage but worried about ADHD symptoms returning

Hi, today O have recieved my Residence permit and they have typed my mother name as the place of birth.
I knew this issue was going to happen because they have issued me a fiktion before and it contained the same mistake,. At the time I contacted the lady responsible for my file and she said that when the card gets issued she will order a new one with the corrected placebof birth (this was two - three weeks ago)
Today I have come to the Ausländerbehörde to recieve the ID card and it still contains the mistake
I am planning on contacting the lady responsible for my file again to ask her what to do but I am overthinking this so I've got two question
How much of a problem is this? Will I be able to travel with this card even though the birth place is different than the one on the passport?
to your knowledge How long does it take to fix a problem like this?

I'm on episode 7 now and

• Scott is the worst
• Richie and Lindsay were a cute match
• I predict Theo going back to being selfish really quickly
• Andre's jealousy seems to consume him completely and like it will stand in the way of him ha-ing a happy romantic relationship with anyone. with what we see on the show I find it hard to see what is keeping him and Sarah together
• Souphianne and Lina are such an explosi-e match, oof. I feel bad for Lina but she does seem to take out her feelings at the wrong people (at girls her boyfriends likes) and it seems like hurt from pre-ious relationships is maybe still influencing her behaior in this current relationship. but Souphianne definitely has been shady and I hate how he acts like he is all innocent and she is just being a drama queen! because that's not fair either.
• I wish Catherine's family wasn't so strict so she could spend some time li-ing by herself and they wouldn't need to rush into marriage! I feel like their issues could be o-ercome but maybe not if it has to go at this speed

Hey guys. Throw away for obvious reasons, I don't want people to know because I'm feeling weird about it.
Let me set the scene. I ( 25, F) met a wonderful man (31, M) who is everything I've ever wanted. We've been dating for about 2 years now, and were long distance for about a year of that time. 8 months ago I packed up all my belongings and emptied my savings account to drive across the country to be with him. And most things have been great - yay! The only real issue is... well... He doesn't have sex with me.
When we were long distance, we sexted, sent photos, and even had phone sex quite often. I have a high libido and was pretty much always the one who initiated. We had sex a few times when I first moved in - I even gave him head nearly every morning but after that it died down... Completely. It started when I would initiate and he would turn me down. Then I would try to give him head and he turned me down. I know it has nothing to do with our connection or my skills in the bedroom, as I made him orgasm every time and catered to his every fantasy... Anywho. He expressed to me that while he was feeling romantic for me, he wasn't feeling those sexual urges. He told me he was very attracted to me and wanted to have sex - but that ultimately he enjoyed cuddling with me more. So! We decided that I would cool it and back off, and I have... But that was December 2022 and now, it's June 2023 and we have had sex a total of 2 times this entire year. I'm trying not to let it bother me, but I'm having a hard time. I guess I'm looking for advice of some kind. I'm too embarrassed to tell anyone about it. I'm in a brand new city and I don't really know anyone besides him... I'm just kind of at a loss. Conversations with him about it seem to end the same, the few times I have brought it up. He definitely feels some sort of shame about it, as he has referenced and made jokes of how "the bedroom is the one place he falls short in our relationship"... which is true but I don't want to openly agree and make him feel like shit. Ugh. I even bought myself more sex toys to spice up my alone time but honestly? It's the intimacy I'm missing. The being wanted. It was SO intense when we were long-distance and now I don't know.
I've made suggestions on how we can try to fix our sex life? He is definitely bothered by it too and has confessed it's something he thinks about almost every day and feels guilt for... but then does nothing about it? I did find some notes he had written about it... and he was essentially saying that he wanted to work out and remove stress from his life so he could be a better lover.
Do I just be patient? Do I bring it up again? I've told him that maybe he is asexual... My love for him is worth more than sex but fuck sakes man. It's really hard when we had such a killer connection and when my sex drive makes me want to make love multiple times a day. He was the first man to ever make me feel safe, truly wanted, and sexy. Now I just feel like an unwanted bump on a log lol. Are we just sexually incompatible? Am I being stupid?

First of all, I have to say that this is the first time I ever play a fighting game (I've played a lot of Smash Ultimate, but that's a whole different game). I'd really love to tryhard and become good at one of these games one day, so Street Fighter 6 is the perfect excuse for me to begin. I know it's a long way up and that it won't be easy at all, but I'm willing to spend a lot of time on it. I started playing with controller and honestly it went pretty well. My only real struggle is canceling attacks/special attacks into Super Arts, I can't do it consistently (every now and then I pull it off, tho); I more or less manage to do other combos that don't involve using Super Arts.
Anyways, yesterday I thought of trying out keyboard to see how it would go. Honestly, I find some inputs easier to pull off (Super Arts, for instance, because you just have to press a bunch of keys in order and that's it, whereas with controller you have to do the full motion, which I often fail to do correctly), with the extra that I don't get my left thumb hurt from using the joystick so much. However, I'd still have to practice a lot because my fingers aren't fast enough yet. The thing is, from what I've heard, it's better to play with controller rather than with keyboard, which is something that I don't understand, because imo keyboard may be easier to play with. However, now that I've tried using both of them, and taking into account the last thing I said, I just can't decide whether I'll play with keyboard or with controller.
Maybe my problem is that I shouldn't expect to be able to pull off complicated combos in just two days of practice, because regardless of what I choose to stick with, I'd still have to practice a lot. I would appreciate it a lot if anyone advised me and overall I just wanted to know the different opinions of experienced people. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hey there, fellow Redditors,
I'm sitting here, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement as I share the most personal part of my life with you. Today, I want to talk about how I battled binge eating disorder and made amazing progress in overcoming it. It's been a tough road, but I hope that my story can inspire and comfort anyone who's still struggling with this relentless monster.
Not too long ago, my life was a rollercoaster of pain. I was caught in a constant fight between my mind and body, drowning in the misery of uncontrolled eating episodes. Food became my crutch, my way to escape from life's problems and punish myself for feeling inadequate. I felt trapped, suffocated by my own self-destructive behavior.
But here I am today, standing as a survivor—a living proof of the strength we all possess. This progress didn't happen overnight; it came from desperation, a tiny flicker of hope that refused to fade away.
The turning point for me came when I realized that I couldn't face this battle alone. I reached out to my loved ones, swallowing my pride and sharing my deepest secret. Their unwavering support became the foundation of my recovery. With their kind encouragement and understanding, I took my first shaky steps towards healing.
I also sought professional help, working with therapists who specialized in eating disorders. They guided me in uncovering the reasons behind my disordered eating patterns. Through therapy, I started to develop healthier ways to cope with my emotions and untangle the complicated relationship I had with food.
On this journey, I found a community of fellow warriors—people who had faced the same struggles and emerged stronger. Online support groups, forums, and even local meet-ups gave me a safe space to share my challenges, get valuable advice, and offer support to others going through similar experiences. The power of connecting, understanding, and showing empathy cannot be stressed enough. Together, we lifted each other up, reminding ourselves that we weren't alone in this fight.
Scientific advancements have also played a big role in my progress. Ongoing research and understanding of binge eating disorder have led to new treatments and therapies. Medications and evidence-based interventions have given hope to those struggling, providing extra tools in our fight against this tough disorder.
Today, as I look back on my journey, I feel incredibly grateful and free. Though I still have moments of vulnerability and temptation, they don't define me anymore. I've learned to take care of myself, showing compassion and kindness to my body and mind. I've embraced a holistic approach to wellness, including exercise, mindfulness, and building a positive self-image.
To those still battling binge eating disorder, please know that there is hope, light, and a way out. Reach out to your loved ones, seek professional help, and connect with others who understand what you're going through. You're not alone, and your journey towards recovery can start with a single step—towards self-acceptance and healing.
I want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read my story. It's been therapeutic to share these personal details with you all. Remember, progress may be slow, and setbacks may happen, but with courage, determination, and support, we can defeat even the toughest demons.
Keep fighting, guys!

I don’t know if it’s the constant b/p I’m doing every single day that’s causing it, or not having had almost any real in my system for months on end now, or my inconsistent sleeping schedule and lack of sleep, but I’m so fatigued I’ve lost the point in everything. I’m so fatigued, I can barely even explain the fatigue, it’s a kind of fatigue where I feel dead in my body that’s still alive. I can’t find a reason why I continue b/p everyday, but I’m so tired. I feel like there used to be a reason when I relapsed, and I was so determined for a while, but for what? I can’t remember, I’m so tired. When I am purging I am so tired I can only wonder how much longer until I’ve finished purging so that I can just rest. My head hurts, my heart physically hurts too nowadays. I’m exhausted but I can’t stop either, and I had some reason before which is why I felt so determined but I can’t remember that reason at all and the only realization I’ve had is this overwhelming sense of fatigue. I can barely function, I can just do basic movements, carry a couple of normal things, walk here to there a bit, changing my clothes, things like that, and that itself causes my heart rate to spiral up and my body to feel like it’s not even mine and absolutely faint. I’m so fatigued in the morning I feel like a corpse. I move sluggish and slow. My mind feels so tired I feel like I’ve lost my will to live, or at least I don’t see a point in the concept of life. The fatigue is so exhausting. I dread each day and meal time and binge time I’m quite tired. I want to rest a long while. I b/p and feel so tired afterwards only to do it again knowing the consequences I will have to face, and then I purge again, and by the end of it all I feel lifeless. I feel so guilty feasting on copious amounts of food multiple times only to just purge it all out, I’m wasting money and nutrients that could have been of use to someone else. My entire day is taken up being sick and I could still care less. I don’t know what my reason was to be so determined at purging everything, everyday. I’m so exhausted to just function like a human, I want to take a long rest. I have a strange longing for my mother, despite feeling so distanced from her in real life. It’s not like I plan to be dead, but I feel like even death would feel better than these bouts of fatigue that keep getting longer each day. I can’t find any reason now, I’m exhausted everywhere

Often beginners who haven't studied other subjects that much take course after course online to learn programming in the hope that a switch will click and they will realise what to make and how to make with this newly learned skill.
Programming is nothing but a tool to solve problems. Now, here is the catch. Which problems? How do one find problems to solve? This is what happens with the average Joe starting out to program. Atleast, what I have seen points to this. They have no sufficient domain knowledge in any particular subject.
Knowledge in a subject like social science, economics, mathematics, physics, chemistry models your brain in that domain and you can think about problems to solve in those domains. Once you get to learn programming you get started right away with your pet projects.
Those who don't have any domain knowledge can't think of any projects to do after taking the CS101 or Programming 101 course.
This is the precise reason why it is so important to take classes from other departments while at college, specifically, if you are studying CS. Those subjects make you think about problems to solve that would have been totally unknown to you otherwise.
Another example of this is people who have studied some major in their undergrad that is not CS and then in grad school does research in some computational domain and learn programming for that purpose. They tend to do very well in their research. They solve interesting problems. On the other hand CS people going to grad school in a non-mathy domain tend to do only incremental work.
This can be a bit controversial. But by far this has been my observation.
E.g. In machine learning a lot of fundamental problems are solved by students who have majored in mathematics, physics, chemistry or other hard sciences. CS majors tend to do incremental developments on problems that have become almost saturated.
Edit: I am not talking about clean code, polished code, etc. Those come much later. First you need a project you can solve. Then you make it work. Then you polish it. While marble carving you don't concentrate on the final polish first. You need some image that you want to carve. That is domain knowledge.

Genesis 22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
​
For the Christians that believe, that God is the only source of objective morality how do you, Interpret this line.
​
It seems to imply humanity has an inherent morality, and does not need a higher power to define it for them. In fact it heavily implies the only difference between a human and God is that we don't live forever.
​
​
Why then would it be unreasonable for someone to judge god as evil, if this line holds true. If it doesn't hold true why not? Is this not the immutable word of God?
​
If any line of the bible is not true, doesn't that demonstrate, that it isn't the perfect word of God.
​
Please only answer to what holds true to you. I by no means expect someone to defend beliefs that are not their own. These are questions that came to my mind concerning specific beliefs I've seen or heard espoused in the bible, while I was reading it. I am genuinely willing to hear out your reasoning.
​
I am solely looking for others insight into this, so I have a better understanding going forward. I promise, I am not looking for a debate, and do not intend to respond unless invited to do so.

She was my main emotional support, almost all of my happiness & my closest friend. I'm so angry at myself for letting myself rely on her so much when there was so much uncertainty surrounding our relationship. I just thought I was strong enough to deal with it. She couldn't even give me a timeframe of when we would next see each other, or if she would even be in the country at the end of the year.
There was a time in the relationship when she said that if we fall in love she'll stay in Melbourne. There was a time when she was applying to jobs in Melbourne as a reason to stay, she was definitely looking at staying & I clung to that. We even briefly talked about doing some travelling together. It made it harder when she left. I do feel like I've been messed around a bit & I turned into an inconvenience to her. She knew how much I wanted her to stay, even though I never asked her to. She said it felt like there was a lot of pressure on her, which I do understand. She never meant to fall in love either. But I feel we could have come up with some kind of plan, but she just wouldn't. She is just kind of winging it...
I understand she was following her dreams & I do truly hope she has a lovely time, but it just felt like I was not being considered in any future plans. There was absolutely no certainty in any aspect of the relationship outside of us being in love.
We started as housemates & kissed about a week in, I knew I was going to fall for her as soon as I went back into my room. The next day I realised how messy the situation would be: were housemates so the fallout could be terrible, her brother is also living with us, she is planning on leaving, I have doubts of how I'll handle heartbreak etc. So I tried to call it off, she convinced me that it was a good idea so we continued.
Then, and this is where I really mess up, a few weeks later the fears come back. After spending every single night together in the same bed I think I'm starting to fall in love with her & I tell her this is a bad idea and I can't to it. She kicks me out of bed & I go for a walk. I realise that I've made a mistake & that I don't care if it's going to hurt, that I do love her & have not stopped thinking about her since that first kiss. I plead my case & she took me back that night, obviously still a bit upset with me.
The next four months spent living with her have been the best of my life. Romantic weekends away, going out together, cooking together, sleeping together, doing almost everything together. I can confidently say that I was a lovely boyfriend in this time, I would regularly buy her flowers, gifts, send her poetry and let her know how much special she is to me. She was equally as wonderfully lovely too, I had never experienced love like she gave me.
Then I'm at work & I get a text saying work approved of her transfer. We had talked about this & in my mind I knew it was coming but my heart still believed she would stay. This brought up a lot of abandonment issues & I took them out on her. I was moody, visibly upset that she was leaving & distant. That said, I did find out my little sister has just tried to kill herself in this time so there was probably a bit of that going on too. But this all just made her feel extra pressure, something she did tell me she struggles with. I do wish I could have kept it together for her.
After I found out she was going I asked my friend to convince me not to break up with her as I couldn't see how we would work with all of the uncertainties. She had no plan of her travels, and was completely honest about not being able to give me any kind of certainty for the indefinite future. He said he couldn't see the romance in it & that it was the right thing to do. I didn't accept that & called up my little sister, she said the same thing and then told me shes in hospital. During the next few days I am a bad boyfriend: cold, distant and moody. I felt so guilty about thinking about breaking up with her, some of the childhood issues resurface, little sister & I don't cope. I finally find a friend who has been in a long distance relationship, giving me hope & I use that. I tell my girlfriend in bed that I was thinking about breaking up with her & she's furious, she's angry at me for how I treated her during this time & says she feels insecure in the relationship. I do my best to make it up to her, show up at her work with a rose, even tell her some details of my mother leaving when I was a kid in hopes for her to understand why I'm struggling. We make up, have a nice few days & then she leaves.
3 weeks of long distance were tough. I'm clingy and she's busy. We have small arguments, she feels pressured by me. Her reception is problematic, stressed with the travels, living situation, work etc. We barely talk. We call maybe 5 times in this time period, all requiring my to stay up until 12-4am for a 10 minute phone call. She's tired from all the stress. This all makes me feel very insecure in the relationship & I tell her how I feel and ask her to please send me a picture of her every day & let's try and organise a time we can call eachother. She doesn't send a picture more often than she does & she can't help organise a time to call. This eventually leads to me asking her to promise me that she's not going to break up with me when I next see her, which is in a short time. I had organised a flight to see my sister once she was out of hospital & my gf happened to be in the same area. When I ask her to promise me she freaks, saying how much pressure she feels. When I tell her I'm coming soon she freaks, saying she doesn't need someone following her around Australia- I tell her that broke my heart & have to explain that I'm going over for my suicidal sibling, and I do hope to see her too.
She stays with me when I fly over at my childhood home, we have a decent few days but I can't help be angry with her. I'm overwhelmed with being back at home again, worried about my little sister & frustrated with myself & her with how the last month has unfolded. I give some stupid input into her relationship with her brother which wasn't my business & comes off as snobby. She's angry again & we have a bad day. We go out that night & I snap at her while drunk, we raise our voices a bit & don't talk much for the next hour. Hours up & I sit down to apologise, saying how stressful this all is for me & then I misunderstand what she says- I thought she was taking the piss about how I can't look after my siblings. I storm off & leave her & her 24yo brother in town on their own, requiring them to get a taxi back to my place. She explains that I took her words incorrectly & I try to apologise as much as possible. Next few days are bad & I decide that this isn't working, that we are barely in a relationship & that won't change for the indefinite future. That I'm at a point in my life where I need to focus on myself & that this isn't fair on either of us. I once again try to get some kind of certainty of when I'll see her again and she can't give me one, saying she now wants to live in as many countries as she can before 30 & that she can't promise she'll be in the country at the end of the year. I tell her I can't do this anymore. We end amicably, have a reasonably nice last few days & she provides hope for the future.
We continue to text as regularly as the 3 weeks apart & I have a bad day a week and a half in. I make a Reddit post listing all of the bad things I did in the relationship, saying how I regret breaking up & then I beg her to take me back over text. She has none of it, reminding me that I've broken us up so many times before & that I can't act like this. I'm still acting clingy to this day, I just can't find a way to deal with this. A lot of my childhood stuff has come back during this time & it's tough.
I just don't know how to deal with this. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any opinions of how I handled it?
TLDR: struggling to deal with heartbreak of a 5 month relationship & need some input into what could have done differently, thanks xxx

So before I talk about timeline placement I have my biggest thing I’m confused about. So in the game Ganondorf has been sealed for 10000 years yada yada. Ok so we have Ganondorf being sealed away we get that but my next thing is what the Gerudo prophecy or whatever you would call it. “Every 100 years a garudo man is born into existence… so my question is. Since link was sleeping for so long in breath of the wild at some point there should have been a Gerudo child being born male… but you don’t see that. And Ganondorf is basically chillin down below waiting to get his chance to rule hyrule.
To me this doesn’t make sense unless it’s all based on the idea there is a stipulation to the 100 year nonsense.
There must be a hidden rule that im plays that there can’t be another male Gerudo unless that person no longer exists. And just because a being is forgotten about doesn’t mean they don’t exist so then that means the Ganondorf from the main timeline is literally a different being in it of itself meaning that:

1. This is a reboot like a lot of people are assumeing
2. It’s an alternate reality to where it makes the timeline actually make sense in a way that is just patching things they couldn’t patch in the original

So this is my thoughts on the timeline that makes this seem helpful imo:

1. Skyward sword did happen just not the way we got the ending in the actual game.
   
2. Link and Zelda did go to the surface but did not found hyrule but Instead live happily ever after having a child named Sonia.
   

Now the issue that I just address is this before we even continue with my mindset on a timeline. Why didn’t Sonia recognize the name as something familiar? If Zelda was the name of her mother you would think that she would have commented about it unless we don’t get that implication because Zelda wasn’t her mom but some other hylian. Maybe Zelda changed her name after her decent downward calling herself Hylia.
So does that mean link become Zelda’s (hylias) husband? That would be uncertain to because Links name was spoken and Sonia didn’t give much reference besides saying that Zelda was worried about him. Maybe Sonia didn’t see it was necessary to but wouldn’t rauru catch that name because I would assume Sonia talked to Rauru about her life and who were her parents? So then who were Sonia’s parents?
So a new number two has to be in place that would give us implication that maybe link and Zelda did make it down from the sky but never decided to make Hyrule a thing as all and had children. So that means there new timeline continuation would be:

1. Link and Zelda, also known as Hylia, have children and that founds the race of land Hylians that many years have come to which Sonia is apart of that royal bloodline that makes her decide it is ready to found a kingdom.
   
2. Rauru being being one of the last of a rare race called the zonai meet with Sonia and they connect together which then they get married and also found the land of Hyrule.
   
3. Ganondorf tries to attack to take over Hyrule but fails so he then befriends them to gain their trust so he can betray them.
   

5 . Sonia’s stone is taken from her and she dies because of this.
6.Rauru and the sages he assembled fight again Ganondorf and they can’t stop him thus Rauru seals them Ganondorf away with no idea if it’ll be all in vain or not.
Now at this point you would be asking where is Zelda in all of this? And I would be happy to say that she is there just not in this situation. This reality Zelda isn’t here to assist with stopping Ganondorf. So my next big thing I would need to answer is. What did they remaining sages do while Rauru was holding down Ganondorf? Did they decide to find another sage of light since Rauru was away? I don’t think that could work because what would give them the powers of that sage to the new possible sage? It was Rauru himself that gave the stones to the others for power. Also at this point what did Mineru do while her brother was sealed? Perhaps she had the power to make more stones to then have another? My only thing I can think of is all the sages decided that since they couldn’t do anything they would just watch out for their people until they have passed and their souls as sages passed on 10000 years to their new lineage of sages which then passes on to the champions in breath of the wilds lineage being with tears of the kingdom.
Out of all the champions lineages Sidon was around when Mipha, his sister, was a champion of Zelda’s.
So knowing all this what can we say which games are apart of this timeline?

1. Skyward sword but the ending is possibly changed
2. Ocarina of time since all the sages were established.

Now the issue with this is being Ocarina of Time had no sage of lightning but it was a Sage of shadows and the sage of spirit was a Gerudo. So then does that mean OOT was slightly changed in this too? Yes because this is an alternate reality. So that means the Gerudo were apart of a lightning affinity and not a spirt one like in the original timeline.
But then where does link come into play? Because technically 9983 years had to be without a hero. So does that mean Ganondorf was the born so long ago without a savior? Based on the game yes link and Zelda were not there until Zelda make another alternate timeline that she helps out as the sage of Time and is a dragon for 10000 years healing the master sword to be even stronger. So that would mean Link was never able to help out at all until 10000 years later.
So if anything that means this all was not apart of the original prophecy that demise established because they should of all been alive around the same time but they were not.
To end my rant off here. A lot of this is confusing to myself because it leaves so many questions as well as guessing as to what happening between the 10000 years of history.

It is long one for some background. One night about 11 year ago I was single and going to a bar for couple of cold ones. The last bar you could smoke inside so been there most of the time when I went to town. The bartender knows me and tells me there is a woman who might needs so help. She has left her husband as they are divorcing and she can't stay there any more sick of him bullying her. I looked over and a woman about my age is sitting on a table at the wall. Black jacket high heels and she has very very big...just coming out the top of that jacket almost. All in all pretty sexy looking but also looks drunk. I walked over and started a talk with her, she needed a place to sleep but no hassle or sex or anything like that. I tell her I have a spare room and nothing will happen wat she doesn't want to happen. We talk a bit more and close to closing time I tell her I am going home so if she wants to go with me now is the time. She gets up and goes with me. If we get home I over her a drink(no alcohol) on the couch and tell her to relax. Tell her wat rooms and beds she can choose from. Looking at her big... I look at her and then tell her she is beautiful. She blushes and kisses me before I knew we are kissing like teenagers. Then she opens my buckle and I open her jacket two big... Drop out and a beautiful lace bra comes out. To make a long story short we ended up having a great time and needles to say she stayed in my bed. When I woke up it was because of some great feeling from getting a b job.. Now I am hooked. We make love morning afternoon evening and night. Yes we are having a incredible good connection. But she drinks.. Yes every day. After drinking she loses all boundaries but also controle of her emotions crying and hurting a lot of drama. But also as we are home the lovemaking goes to insane amounts . I can tell you if she wouldn't have come at least 10 times that day she would complain and asking for more. I loved her body and big b. yes I also couldn't stop making love to her. One day, I think beginning the second month she stayed with me, we got home from shopping and I could hardly wait to get into the house just to nail her again ( 5 or 6 time that day) right there I kissed her neck and asked if she wants me. She said she wants me all the time. So I tell her I also want her all the time it's insane. I ask could she forget about underwear in house and always be ready. She looks at me and starts taking her pents of and top I take her right there and from that time she never wears underwear in house again and the lust rools our relationship. Yes we talked about her daughter she missed but sees every day. About her alcoholisme (she stopped day drinking) her problems but also the drama in her life from her former husband. I warned her I am in no need of drama in my life.... But all in all it is like a god send time the amount of lust and purely animal behavior it's insane. After a couple of weeks in our new arrangements, the drama starts going in the wrong direction. She goes to her exes house every day for her daughter making lunch and dinner midday. But she comes to me end of the day after school is out and her daughter with her father. But he, her ex, is getting bitter and starts fighting with her again. I tell her to let go and stop making it worse by going back every day. Just pick up her daughter and drop her off don't go in any more. But she can't she is determined to stay close to her daughter, and by this the drama. Then the phone calls start to my phone and cell the ex starts to push. I asked her how did he get my number, probably her daughters phone. But I don't take that shit calls at my work place house and all that. I tell her to get him to stop and stay away from him. She didn't we are now in month 3. And the day drinking started again. All this time we don't talk about payment or anything she cooks cleans washes the clothes and changes the bed. We make love still about ten times a day I am addicted to her body hard. Her daughter doesn't want to leave her father alon. So the drama doesn't stop till I post a ultimatum stop or go. It's the end of the thirt month and she leaves. After that we didn't have contact for 12 months. Texting from her after that then started calling but my lust didn't subside. We never hooked up again and there has been silence for years now. I regret losing contact and now I worry and hope she is well after these idiotic years. My biggest regret losing her.
