Let’s do something for the Blood God.
Let’s just leave out a little ice water and cheese, with a few dandelions. Let’s thank Technoblade for everything he gave us. For giving some of us the will to live when we were giving up. For giving us his life.
Thank you, Technoblade.
Fly High, King 🫡

Trying this again! This month, in addition to the full retirement update that will be posted later, we'll be doing a list of every set available that month! Expect a bricklink post later this month

Recently I'm dealing with so many things all at once, transferring to a new place na unfamiliar, financial problem, and family problem.
Na-kwento ko na rin sakanya na I'm so tired and I wanna end my life but sabi nya wag akong mag isip ng ganun, I know the intention is good but feel ko invalidated feelings ko kasi sinabi nya "marami pa kong nakilala na mas malala problema nila, nagbago naman" it doesn't help e.
Now birthday is almost coming na, and idk how to explain or to open na di ko kaya mentally makipag sabayan or magbitbit ng happy face publicly but idk if my friend can understand it, since yun nga nainvalidate yung feelings ko na, so parang wala talaga ko clue if she can understand na yun dahilan ko why di ako makakapunta.
Anong ways to tell him para maintindihan nya, ayaw ko talaga muna umattend sa mga party chuchu dahil sa state ko ngayon.

You were the first person to make love to me.. the first person to hold my hand and hold me as a person, as a lover. I felt butterflies just being in the same room as you, to see your face and to press my lips against yours, it was simply beautiful to me. As annoying as I am, and as much as I didn’t understand or care for your passions, I still loved you. But, I didn’t treat you like someone I cared for every time I made fun of your music, your shows, your mannerisms. I understand how hard it is to bond with me because of our distinct personalities. I could understand why it’s hard to laugh with me. And to make it worse, I would be hypocritical and get upset when you didn’t like something I liked as well. It just doesn’t seem to blend well, and I will put it all on me for being irrational. 

Our relationship is a complex maze that continues to meet blockages. We try, try, and try again and the outcomes never seem to reach the destination we aim for. With every dead end, my heart grows bitter and cold. I am not as enthusiastic as I was when we first started. And you can hate me all you want, for calling it quits too early, I wouldn’t blame you.. But I don’t want this anymore. I loved you for loving me, and I wanted to live out my ideal romantic life, and it has caused tension with the way I view you. I would judge every action you made, big or small, making you feel less in the process. You don’t deserve this, yet you still hold on to me. Even now as I am writing this letter, I can feel how selfish I am, to have made you try so hard, only to realize I don’t like you as a lover anymore. I deserve your resentment and more if anything. You did so many things right, and you’ve made me so happy by trying, again, and again. I’ve never had anyone care so much about me, and it’s truly made me feel loved. The gifts you gave me for my birthday were perfect. I can tell you’re truly trying. You help me do stupid things that I can’t figure out myself. You guide me and make me feel dependent on you. You are wonderful. I hope one day you can find a girl who’s just as nerdy as you, who listens to podcasts with you, watches movies with you, supports you in your running journey like I never could. I hope you find all that and more.
My boy, thank you for being my first-everything. I will forever love and cherish these memories. I know you will have doubts and questions on why I want to leave and what you did wrong, but don’t bother ruining your precious mind with these thoughts. I do not want to leave this note on things you did to upset me, but with things you did to make me feel beautiful. You did nothing wrong, you are just different from me so don’t ever blame yourself for what the outcome of this relationship is. Thank you for this journey.

I want to hear about your favorite podcasts that:
-Have queer creators, or
-Have queer characters, or
-Are about queer things, or even
-Have a queer ✨vibe✨
I’ll start with 2 very different favorites of mine:
1) Dreamboy by Dane Terry (by queer creators and has queer characters). Dreamboy is a fictional podcast with a beautiful soundscape. It follows the main character, a gay man working at a theme park in Cleveland for the summer, as he discovers some mysterious and possibly sinister things about this park and its founders. All while a very steamy romance builds between him and his neighbor, a gay social media influencer. (Btw if anyone specifically has recommendations for gay podcasts like Dreamboy I’m all ears)
2) 2 Dykes and a Mic (by queer creators, about queer things). Now for something completely different! 2 Dykes is a conversational comedy podcast featuring 2 lesbian hosts, Rachel Scanlon and McKenzie Goodwin. They riff on stories from their own lives, interview queer guests, and answer listener questions in a hilarious segment called “Ask A Dyke”.
Tell me your favorite queer ‘casts! And happy Pride month! 🌈🏳️‍🌈

This seems like the logical place to share my concerns. Please let me know if this should be on a different reddit.
Last night I was playing around on Suno, an AI music making website, and I came across a strange song. It was simply titled "The short song". The music was Alternative genre making the disturbing lyrics seem interesting. The narrator of the song gets arrested after an apparent gunshot opens the song. I continue exploring this genre when I come across more disturbing songs and I realize they are from the same user. I then go to their page, and this is where it gets dark.
I quickly realized that the lyrics were more like someone's open diary and the music was a distraction. I turned off the sound and started reading through their words. I will share some of the lyrics here. The song titles I will give for reference, but you will see some of the themes are duplicated in several songs.
"That Ugly Toy"
What’s that toy? Did my mom put it in her mouth? It looks like (I gasped) Why is that pink? And it stinks
It is so disgusting So annoying And it’s not a ring It’s clearly a [doorbell noise] Yeah yeah imma open the door It’s a package from "hardcore" What the hell is that?
I opened the package it was (oh nah) Another (Another) Toy (boy) (Ew what is that?) This one is blue with a bit of white on top (pop popopopop)
What an ugly toy That’s ugly Super duper ugly Ugly ugly ugly (I think I know what it is)
I got one for my birthday Im 9 years old (hey hey) What an ugly birthday
"Is the Neighbor Better Than My Dad?"
After the story of the toy My mom did something else yeah boy She went to the neighbor’s place every day I heard something like oh wee continue like that baby and some groans
My mom is a super late one too hot (first letters) She slept with the neighbor Should I say it to my dad (bor bro bro)
[slap sounds]
My dad found the toys He also find my neighbor in her bed (Bed beg bet)
Is my neighbor better than my dad? Is he better when he licks her meow? My dad (I hope) he’s not that bad And I heard some pow (gunshots)
Oh my god I pray the pope My dad shows me his gun He shot my neighbor And he putted my mama in the oven (as my neighbor)
Was my neighbor better than my dad? Was he better to lick the meow? I hope my dad wasn’t so bad Because it’s my turn to get lick
"Everything I touch isn't good..."
Everything … Everything I touch (touch) Is contaminate so much Everyone I punch DIES
When When I touch someone (someone) Or something (something) Its not a good thing (Thing) … When I touched my teacher’s boob, The teacher got mad and she slapped me Then I smashed her head against computer that is laggy Like my PHONE
"I touched my teacher so she isn't good anymore (first part was Everthing I...)"
After that, she was in a pool of blood I pray god I just nod I’m scared is this my end? I think the officer will nod … So I get rid rid rid of the body I know it’s a bad idea but it was the only I take a shovel and start to bury her (weeee) … It was a bad idea (bad idea) But it’s wasn’t a choice (not a choice) Her name was emilia I can still hear her voice (her fat voice) I’m so pathetic Like tic tac tic tac tic It’s so annoying I can’t even say something without crying I TOUCHED MY TEACHER SO SHE ISN’T GOOD ANYMORE (Not anymore) (Oh yes not anymore) … After I did that, I got my car And I did go far (Far away) I can’t live with that anymore I don’t want more I can it just forget I hope I’ll get Better on day And I will say It was just a nightmare (just a nightmare) … It was a bad idea (bad idea) But it wasn’t a choice (wasn’t a choice) Her name was Emilia And I can still hear her voice (her voice) (Tic tac tic taxi) … I got an accident My leg my leg is broken And I’ll learn yes (oh yes) one day I’ll learn … It wasn’t that a bad choice (wasn’t that) It was clearly a choice (a choice) Her name was Emilia And I can finally stop hearing her voice (that voice) Not crazy anymore
"The thing I've done"
Hey I did something bad hey hey hey It was in may I’m scared to say Don’t wanna pay I wanna stay … I did some bad things, but none as crazy as this Im going to miss You when I’ll be in jail I wanna kiss My boyfriend one more time before I hiss Don’t want to pay I want to stay Don’t want to pay I just want to say I love you all day Why did I do this why did they Made me do that? … I did something (really bad) Don’t wanna pay For what I say Or what I did that day (Why did I do that) … Who will save me? I need to be Free (free) I’m gonna pray Should I say It to the guards? (Guards guards) … I did something (really bad) Don’t wanna pay for what I say (say) Or what I did that day (day) (I don’t have any chances) … The thing I did Was a car crash (ash) Imagine Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-bla la la la Im going to stay Il here since four years hey I pay There is nothing you can say (hey hey hey) … I did something (really bad) Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad (extremely bad)
"The cliff"
There’s the most useless thing in my city A road with at the end a cliff for me, I think it makes some weird ideas coming back (dirty minds but not only) Why is the road so dirty?
I just wanna go on that cliiiiiifff (iiiiiiiiifffffff) I wanna try the death jump (that’s nice that) If You’re not ok with that just put me in jail but I don’t care I will still do it and I don’t mind if I don’t have some mails The cliff is so tempting Just want an ending To that story that I was reading And the text I’m writing I’m clearly so close to go but the problem is that there are so much policemen Oh god I’m going to make a car crash That cliff is so tempting It’s so tempting It’s overwhelming I’m jumping With my car
I crashed my car into the police officers It’s finish for me so end me is a good solution I woke up in the morning Thinking And I finally find something
That cliff is so tempting (If I could do that I promise I would)
I have a curse It is: everything I touch isn’t good anymore (of course)
In my next song you’ll finally know all the story Of my patheti… C life (You finally know oh oh oh) Gonna be the last
"Beginning to End"
Wan a know all the story? I don’t fucking care I’ll sing it
I was already broke But I decided to play monopoly I didn’t have any money To pay the new iPhone I only had a fucking dirty Samsung I played monopoly monopoly in real life I started to pay some people for no reasons My mom and my dad wanted to see me dead and I wanted that too I took so much pills but I woke up in the mornin’ I had some dirty minds and I wasn’t happy in my life I wanted to end me to do the dead jump with my car There were some policemen who were blocking that cliff but I just make a car crash on them
Mhhhh I went to my house and I heard some screams and groans My mom Was playing with a dildo and sleeping with my neighbor My dad saw that and then kill her I saw my dad going in his car and I putted a bomb in there He exploded in his car I putted bombs in bar They all explode My cat died I was at school and I decided to touch my teacher’s boob She slapped me and then I smashed her head against the computer that is laggy
I burried her I made a car accident I know I’ll go in jail I’m going to end me in jail
Four years later I pay in jail
OK BACK TO THE POST:
There are a few more songs but you can see these must be from an individual who is in need of some help. As I mentioned earlier this is on Suno, which is free, so I encourage others here to check out this user "MonumentalPrelude524" on that site and see if you agree that this could be a red flag and there should be some intervention.
A few things I focus on from this user:
They may be a child in an abusive home where the mother is promiscuous and sleeping with the neighbor.
The father is at least an abuser and at most a murderer.
There was an accident and explosion?
This person mentions several times that they had a cat that recently died.
The incident with the teacher may have been their "maths" teacher, as another song is about that. ("maths" says European and not American)
Not sure the age as one song mentions being 9 years old and others mention driving. Although, it wouldn't be the first time a 9 yr old went for a joy ride.
I am posting this in the hopes that someone may recognize the details here or at least point me in the right direction as how to help someone who is clearly putting their pain out there for someone to find. Please help draw attention to this.
Thank you for your time.

It's been two years now, and he'd be 25 today. We all miss you everyday king, and I know you've either killed god by now, or are still fighting strong to win that final battle.
Happy birthday, and fly high. o7

There seems to be some anxiety from Conrad fans that the ending might change based on unfounded and made up rumours of how S3 is going to play out. I think most Jeremiah fans have accepted the endgame (and are either just going to ignore S3 and pretend S2 is the ending or are bracing themselves and already coming up with arguments about why S3 sucks and unearned and blah blah blah - but of course there's some who just want to watch the show to see how it actually ends regardless if they get their happy ending or not.)
But it has got me thinking - let's say Jeremiah and Belly do end up together by the end. Let's pretend we're in a parallel universe where this happens. What has the show done so far to set up that ending? How has show positioned Belly and Jeremiah's characters by the end of S2 so them being together in S3 is a satisfying payoff? What has been set up so far that will pay off in S3 for Jeremiah and Belly to be together?
Because there's dozens and dozens of set up and foreshadowing for Belly and Conrad (so many that I'm not going to name any here because we'll be here all day.) And the character journey that they are going on just seems to obviously point towards a certain ending - not to mention that if Belly and Jeremiah were to end together then why make a season 3?
I think Conrad fans rely too much on Jenny Han quotes and the book to argue that Belly and Conrad are endgame where it's just obvious from the actual text of the show itself.
But maybe is the fact that it's too obvious that will lead to a Jeremiah and Belly endgame (but is that subversion in the spirit of the show?) The point I'm trying to make is that the text of the show is pointing towards a certain ending which is why Conrad fans shouldn't be worried...
...but let's say that Jeremiah and Belly did end up together. Has the show done a good enough job setting that up? What scenes/moments/motifs/themes are in the show that set up that ending? Is it equal to the number of set ups that Conrad and Belly have?
Does set up and careful planning actually matter in a story like this? What is the show saying with a Jeremiah and Belly endgame vs a Belly and Conrad endgame?
That's a lot of questions I know but they all come in good faith and I'd really love to hear all your thoughts, no matter what ship you're in.
