I’ve been having anxiety most of my life now however , for a couple of months this random shit has been happening to me. Pretty sure it started happening right after my break up with this one girl which depeleted my mental health state I wanted to kill myself , searching up ways since their is no gun in the house from past sucicide attempts however this is not the part of the discussion it’s the shit that happened after , for a couple of months now I’ve been getting thsi fucking itching and hot tingle ness , I have no fucking idea how to describe it , it’s genuinely just this unbearable hot sensation and it tends to get itchy it happens all over my body and like once it flares up i get dots all over my body like hives or some shit , but I’ve been working with my doctors for over 2 months on this situation I’ve sent pictures I went in to the place , etc , they’ve prescribed me this like shit for my skin this shampoo and said it could be a “pore problem” like with my skin or something. So i was using this wash they gave me this benzoyl peroxide shit I think? Pretty sure I’m just going off the top of my head , anywho they also gave me this like oil thing to put on my skin after I get out , and we also got some allergy medication since they thought it was some allergy thing , and i remember using all of it before a haircut took my shower used the wash used the oil and used the moisturizer they recommended and took a couple allergy pills , got in the car and went there and like 5 mins out from the barber shop i get the ichyness feeling and I start getting hot , and then I look at my hand and the dots are there , and once I see the dots I can’t stop thinking about them no matter what breathing exercises I do I won’t stop thinking abt the dots and once those dots are there they tend to stay till I know or well my body knows were completely out of the situation, and I’ve tried other medication prescribed from my phycatrist which she thought they where hives , and I can easily test out if I get the itchiness and hot tingless by working out since i guess working out gets me all heated up and I’m doing some type of exercise and working my body it tends to make me get the itchiness and hot tingleness not the dots but the hot sensation and itchiness , and they didn’t fucking work. I get these hot sensations and dots and itchiness in public spaces usually , like I’m assuming it’s anxiety based and well I may have some health issue but the doctors literally don’t know cause it’s a symptom of a bunch of things , I guess. But it literally ruined my life , I can’t drive I can’t work I can’t hangout with friends , like I’ll be on the game laughing randomly and I’ll get the hotness sensation and itchiness and decide to walk away and like take a cold shower , I can’t even get fuckign haircuts , it’s genuinely ruining my life and it just started like 5 months ago and my Life has not been the same , im honestly not gonna re read this im just speaking whats on my mind , it’s just fucking ruined my life and the doctors aren’t even really Helping cause I’m assuming they don’t know what it is , but it’s a hot sensation and like tingles that are quite literally unbearable , i was buying a new pc and I literally had to go out of the store cause I was starting to get the hot sensation , when I’m talking I get it when I’m out in public and I feel like people are looking at me and I’m insecure cause ion have a haircut I get the hot sensation , I honestly jsut need help and i came into here to ask about the best products I could literally use to calm down my anxiety, I have a addictive personality so I don’t want to learn towards weed cause it can also flare up my anxiety , I wanted to try cbd products or something , i just need help this is ruining my life.

I married for the first time a year before I retired from the Air Force. I was dating my current wife for 6 years. I met her in California and I moved around without her every couple of years.
After we started living together, she tried to tell me I had to tell her where I was going. Excuse me, WTF?
First, I told her she's NOT MY MOMMA. Second, I said to her I'm not one of your Gen Z adult children ages 24 (F) and 26 (M) who failed to launch into adulthood. They were still living at home and checking in with mom. Because she controlled the purse strings as in purchased both of their cars as high school graduation gifts. What an achievement!
Excuse me, but I joined the Air Force in 1998. I haven't checked in with a parent since that day. When I leave the house to go somewhere, I don't need to tell you.
As an introvert, I'm used to doing whatever I want. I just ignore her when she tells me where she's going because I really don't care and it's none of my business. We haven't checked in during 6 years of dating so why should anything change?

I have owned a game shop for 10 years now. I see neck beard types. I see leg beard types. I see incels. The whole rainbow of cringe is often in my very shop. They play their games. Stink up the joint. Above all else though they got on my ever loving nerves I swear.
I bought the shop back in 2013ish after my grandfather died. He left me some decent money, which is about all the good he ever did. Cranky old man stuck around far too long and was a drain on myself. My parents saddled me with caring for him. My only escape from that bitter old man was the game shop. I would go and play war games and yugioh. Around 2011 I was banned from the store for chronically selling yugioh cards in the shop. Something the crotchety land whale that owned the shop did not like. So he banned me. When my grandfather finally died he afforded me the opportunity to lift my ban by purchasing the shop at a high markup. I may have overpaid, but it was worth it to get back my home away from home and to ban that landwhale from his own shop.
Once I took over. I learnt that I wouldn’t be able to participate in games as much unless I wanted to hire employees. Which I did not. I don’t really understand the taxes and had no interest in paying extra to employ people. So I basically ran it all myself for a damn long time. It was fun at first. But I realized I actually hated my customers. I hated games. I hated these goblins that occupied my shop for events and game nights. That’s how you make money though. Stupid events for stupid little neckbeards.
So I am gonna tell you about some choice individuals. I like to call them The Party. Four human shaped food holes that were far too loud. When I was young, back in the 80’s dungeons and dragons wasn’t fun. It was a game to be won. I dont know what happened. Maybe it was all them critical role streamers that ruined it. At some point neck beards gravitated to dungeons and dragons as a form of fun. As a way to make jokes. They basically ruined the game. I hate that they ruined a great war game and turned it into nothing but jokes. Us older nerds get not a drop of respect as these youngins trample over our great games.
The party consisted of two manlet weirdos. Dressed in what looked to be homemade wizard robes. A tall thin man dressed in an outfit that would be seen on frank sinatra. And the loudest legbeard landwhale I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. They would come in on open play nights and occupy the back room where the warhammer gamers played. Their volume was completely unacceptable. I had asked them politely several times to keep it down. I had received several complaints from the warhammer players as well. It was not uncommon for the war gamers and The Party to start arguing. Which was always a sight to behold. 90 percent of the time I didn’t intervene hoping one of The Party might get their teeth knocked out. It never got to that point. Despite all the wishing in my heart.
Still I tolerated them for the most part. They bought plenty of snacks. Overpriced soda cans and over priced chips are good money in this line of business. Cleaning up after them was a pain. Cheeto smeared tables and chairs are not fun to clean. I remember once asking them to clean up after themselves. They just stared at me with blank dead fish eyes before talking about the hot dog man. The hotdog man being some sort of inside joke. They found it hilarious. It was some recurring npc in their campaigns that did “wacky” hijinks or something. They tried to explain it to anyone who would listen. Anytime someone else would laugh at their stupid joke I wanted to just close up shop.
Then I started fucking with them. I’d shake up cans of soda they bought. I’d “accidentally” bump into their table while moving inventory. This would cause their set up and dice to spill all over. I’d sell them microwaved dice sets “at a discount” and laugh with joy as they consistently rolled nat 1’s. I actually had quite a bit of fun coming up with new ways to inconvenience them. Damaging their favorite table, replacing the chairs at that table with uneven ones. One time I spilled a cup of hot chocolate on the one dressed like frank sinatra.
They eventually started blaming their new streak of misfortune on the hotdog man. That fucking stupid inside joke about the hotdog man had grown to encompass their real life misfortune. These beardy fucks had completely disassociated from reality apparently. It wasn’t long after this began in the shop that it spread. Any little thing that went wrong in the shop others started blaming on the hot dog man! Bad game of yugioh…hot dog man. Shit your pants? HOT DOG MAN! Dog got hit by a car! HOT DOG MAN! It permeated and spread because these little beards never shut up about their stupid inside joke.
I could not tolerate it any longer. As a game shop owner I am the god of these halls and I would not take this beardery. NAY! I didn’t clean my grandads colostomy bag for 8 years to have my castle ruined by the fucking HOT DOG MAN! No these nerds hard to go. I had to hatch a scheme to get them out of the shop.
It was actually relatively easy to come up with a scheme. I knew the fat leg beard was dating the tall “well dressed” kid. But, I also knew she was a bit of a cheater. They had many arguments about her cheating on him. Why such a beast would be able to get so many men interested in her I have no idea. But i knew she had her eyes on one of the seedier warhammer players in the store. He wasn’t a good guy, actually a bit of an alcoholic who hung around because this was all he had left. So I struck a deal, I offered him a hefty amount of figurines for his army in return for “seducing” the land whale. A task he was actually excited about.
Over the next couple weeks I watched as the alcoholic man inserted himself into The Party. I watched as he got closer to the girl, I saw the “well dressed” beard grow more and more insecure. Going outside in a huff more often. The leg beard and her boyfriend arguing loudly in front of the store a few times.Then on the third week during an open play night only the land whale leg beard appeared, crying as she clung to the alcoholic war gamer and complained about her boyfriend. The crying was only slightly less annoying than hearing about the hotdog man. I tried to tune it out by doing some stocking of new inventory for the upcoming yugioh release. I eventually noticed a distinct lack of belly aching. I looked over to the side room, and saw that the alcoholic and legbeard were actively making out on a table. Disgusted I made sure the cameras were recording in the side room.
The world was at peace again. The Party would soon be destroyed thanks to some well deployed miniatures in the right desperate losers hands. Simple as can be. Soon my store would be free of the hot dog man plague. This is why you should never mess with a wealthy man we are wealthy because we are wise. My store is one of the best in this town and it is because of my wisdom. No one else can compete with me because I am too good to be doing this.
As I stocked the cabinet with new singles I had recently bought from someone clearly desperate for drug money I found myself very pleased with myself. I sang as I organized my new acquisitions. Then sneaking a peak at the camera I noticed a distinct absence of the obese legbeard and the war gaming alcoholic. I tried to locate them by walking back there, only to hear the sounds of unholy degenerate acts in the bathroom. I found myself amazed by their lack of shame and more so how easy the land whale was. I guess it’s true what they say “fat chicks will do anything”. I contemplated breaking it up. Then I thought it might be really funny if she got pregnant and the frank sinatra wannabe had to raise a cuck baby. So I allowed it to continue. They left together sometime later.
I went ahead and did a little facebook stalking, as frank sinatra and the land whale were both on on my stores facebook page. Two days later they were broken up and the land whale was dating and apparently living with the alcoholic wargamer. Now I still have to deal with her, but the rest of The Party is distinctly absent.
I posted the video from the security cameras on the facebook page on valentines day that year and tagged the frank sinatra wannabe, deleting it after he left some angry comment under it. Just one more jab at his stupid broken heart. That’s what he deserves for being a cringe neckbeard with his stupid inside jokes.
Now the legbeard and alcoholic play wargames on open play nights at the shop and she’s much quieter. The legacy of the hotdog man died shortly after. I do now have to occasionally observe as the land whale and alcoholic wargamer swap spit on a table. I’ve had to make a sign for the bathroom door that say “please do not fuck in here” and when that didn’t work yell at the both of them. Saying something along the lines of “THIS IS NOT A MOTEL!” but even with that inconvenience, it is still preferable to those beards and their stupid inside joke. I will take cringe bathroom sex over the hot dog man any day.
I am just happy that I met my wife in Mexico. If you have money and a passport, get yourself a Mexican wife. They are much less insane than your average american woman. Also they are very grateful to be here. So that pays dividends in the end. Plus you have someone who can talk to the repair men in their native language around here. Wish I would have known she was infertile beforehand. On the brightside though no condoms. So its not all bad. There are no any beards in Mexico my friends.
If you read this ReddX thanks I’ve been a big fan of the channel for a long time and have wanted to write a story. I just haven’t had the time as I am a very busy and important man. But I can tell we’re like kindred souls. You’re gonna love reading all my installments because were bouth great men of substance and the world. It is time I aired out all these beards. So you’re welcome for contributing to your collection of stories. I truly am a generous king.

M23, about two weeks I decided to fuck around on dating apps and change my age range to 35-55. Unsurprisingly, didn’t get very many matches. On bumble i did match with a 49 year old woman. Looks amazing for her age. She was weird from the get go, couldn’t hangout past 5 on weekdays, no weekends really, wouldn’t give me her number because of the security issues in that. I kinda tried to brush it off as an older woman getting back into the dating scene and was just really quirky. Anyways, the past two weeks I’d say a total of 5-7 times she tried to coordinate a plan to hangout. Usually a movie or a restaurant. Also unsurprisingly, couldn’t really do it since I work 8-5 and she can’t do weekends or anytime.
Anyways, out of nowhere today she hits me up asking to hangout. It’s a Sunday and I agree, why not. I’m on my way to meet her at a movie and I just get this gut wrenching feeling that somethings off. My mind goes straight to catfish, I tell her my concerns, we video call on bumble, boom problem solved she’s real. We then agree to meet later that night at a race track/restaurant to do some drinking and dancing. I get there a little before plan to meet, let’s say 7, and she’s not there. Well she finally hits me up at 7:20 saying she’s there by the entrance. I go outside and see she’s on the phone in what looks like a serious convo. I say hi and she says hi gimme a second, so I politely step away, no sweat. Anyways, an hour goes by, I decide to go to my car and text her I’m leaving. I get to my car and im about to tell her im leaving i get a few messages from her saying she’s done with the call and she’s sorry. I get out of my car and meet her by the entrance again and she’s still on the phone and I hear her say into the phone (not whispering, just normal tone) “no, he’s coming back.” I felt that was odd…so anyways she’s still on the phone, I give her 20 more mins and I start walking back to my car…well I turn around and she’s following me while on the phone still. I zig zag a bit and she’s still hot on my trail, so instead of going to my car, I picked up the pace and went back into the restaurant. I’m sitting there hiding from her, very weirded out, and my mind starts racing, I call a buddy just to be on the phone with someone and he’s telling me I need to leave and that she could be on the phone with someone out there in the lot. I want to leave, however, she’s standing in the way of the entrance and the lot, still on the phone. I look up on my phone and turns out the bar and dance floor close at 8 on Sundays, and she was going off the Friday-Saturday hours. I was able to call a friend to come get me, while she’s texting me apologizing trying to offer me a free meal at a restaurant, saying she’s off the phone now, and giving a whole bunch of options we can meet. I politely declined and she apologized and said she understood why I left, and then said she was on the phone with some military guy who was acting suicidal (I live near an Air Force base) and that’s why she was on the phone for so long.
Anyways, my friends and I are indifferent on what happened. Some of my friends think I was being a paranoid wimp and was just dealing with a quirky older woman who kinda forgot how to act when dating, and is maybe just a little forthcoming about what she wants. However, the other half think I made the right call and were very concerned, thought I was going to get mugged, beaten, or worse trafficked or killed.
What do yall think? Should I cut ties? Should I try and meet her again if she offers?
Edit: One of my friends thinks I’m dealing with a cheating housewife. Considering she’s so secretive about herself and can only hangout on weekdays before 5 (likely time her husband would get home from work).
I’m honestly surprised she even keeps asking me to hangout. Over the course of the past two weeks, i think I bailed on her plans at least 2 or 3 times because my gut just kept telling me something was wrong. I mean usually you bail on plans once, especially if said plans are the first date, you’re usually never gonna get that opportunity again,

At one point I was thinking about the timeline of FNaF, and decided to write out every concrete date we have. The dates we know for certain are:

• Game & Novel Events
  • 1983 - Freddy's Opens and the Bite of '83 (Confirmed in the Steel Wool games and the presence of Freddy's characters in the FNaF 4 minigames)
  • Monday, October 31st, 1983 - Charlie's death (Confirmed in the novels)
  • Wednesday, June 26th, 1985 - MCI (Confirmed in the FNaF 1 newspapers, novels and Fazbear Frights)
  • Sunday, November 8th, 1987, through Friday, November 13th, 1987 - FNaF 2 Nights and Phone Calls (Confirmed in the FNaF 2 Paychecks)
  • November 8th through November 14th - FNaF 1 Nights and Custom Night (Confirmed in the FNaF 1 Paychecks)
• Novel Only Events
  • July of 1985 - Henry Commits Die
  • June of 1995 - The Silver Eyes
  • October of 1996 - The Twisted Ones
  • Post-Easter Sunday of 1997 - The Fourth Closet

And doing this made me realize something. With the number of dates we have, a lot of people are just guessing instead of working around them. Most notably, the reuse of certain weekdays/months can help us understand dates that aren't confirmed. For example:

• Due to the Spring Bonnie costume being moved in the FNaF 3 Night 5 Phone Call (AKA Phone Guy's 4th call) and Spring Bonnie being used for at least the MCI, we can safely place Phone Guy's FNaF 3 calls from Sunday, June 23rd, 1985, through Thursday, June 27th, 1985. Since Phone Guy brings up the Springlock Failure on Tuesday, this means the Bite of '83 can't have been the springlock failure he mentions on Call 3.
• Since the newspaper clippings in FNaF 1 are after the MCI and appear to be the same front page, this means that not all of them happen on the same day. The "Kids vanish at local pizzeria – bodies not found." page is likely on Thursday, June 27th, 1985, after at least the first two MCI victims have been killed. The "Five children now reported missing. Suspect convicted." page is likely on Friday, June 28th, 1985, after the incident has been more thoroughly investigated. The "Local pizzeria threatened with shutdown over sanitation." page is likely on Saturday, June 29th, 1985, after the bodies have begun to decompose. Notably, the "Local pizzeria said to close by years end." page seems to be well after June of 1985 since the MCI is referred to as "many years ago", so it's unlikely it takes place at the same time as the other three.
• Since both FNaF 1 and FNaF 2 have inconsistencies with it being a "summer" job (FNaF 1 on the Steam Page and FNaF 2 in the Night 1 Phone Call), it's implied that the job listing hasn't been updated since the MCI.
• Phone Guy repeatedly mentions a "previous employee" who took the night shift before we did, who was likely William Afton using a fake name, which means that he had worked from Sunday, October 25th, 1987, through Friday, October 30th, 1987. After this he moves to the dayshift and begins tampering with the animatronics. Since the MCI in the 1985 location happened on a Wednesday, this implies that the DCI also happens on a Wednesday. This, combined with the investigation into Freddy's happening on Night 4 of FNaF 2, implies that the DCI happened on Wednesday, November 11th, 1987.
• Due to the "Freddy Fazbear's is Closing" page seen after Night 6 of FNaF 2 and the Night 7 Guard being a different person, it's likely the Bite of '87 happened on Saturday, November 14th, 1987.
• Since FNaF 2 shows Fazbear Entertainment pays its employees on Thursdays, this means FNaF 1 has to take place in a year where November 12th is a Thursday. As such, the possible dates it could be are 1992, 1998, 2009, and 2015. Since 2009 and 2015 are well after most depictions of the FNaF 1 location and 1998 is after the Security Guard Faz-Fact date of 1988-1993, we can conclude that FNaF 1 has to take place in 1992. To add onto this, a code in the Survival Logbook involving coupons further implies the year 1992 due to calculations involving pricing and inflation. Related to this, Phone Guy is stated to be finishing his last week during the FNaF 1 Phone Calls, and since Mike arrives to take his place immediately after, it's safe to say that the Phone Calls take place from Sunday, November 1st, 1992, through Thursday, November 5th, 1992.
• Due to Phone Guy's Night 1 Phone Call from FNaF 1 playing in the background during FNaF 4 and a number of other similarities, it's safe to say that FNaF 4 takes place during FNaF 1, with Nightmare Night being before just before FNaF 1 Custom Night. The reason for this is that, if Mike is working the Night Shift, he would need to be asleep during the day to make up for it and be ready for his workday.
• Sister Location is stated to take place after a Freddy's location has closed its doors, placing either post-MCI, post-FNaF 2, or post-FNaF 1. However, since HandUnit says the Freddy's that closed was a successful one, it can't be post-FNaF 2 as the location was only open for a few weeks. It also can't be before FNaF 3 because Mike would have no reason to go to Fazbear Frights. Lastly, Elizabeth in the novels dies after Charlie, so her death would have to be before 1987. This implies that the events of the game take place post-FNaF 1, while Elizabeth's death takes place post-MCI and pre-FNaF 2. Notice that earlier when talking about FNaF 2 that I said William didn't work on October 31st, 1987. That is because, given the previous evidence, he was implied to be at the opening of Circus Baby's Pizza World witnessing Elizabeth's death. This event is what leads him to perform the DCI to gain Remnant now that Circus Baby's is out of commission.
• The Immortal and the Restless cutscenes are pretty self-explanatory, taking place after each night of Sister Location. Similarly, the Sister Location cutscenes take place the week after Sister Location. Lastly, the Elizabeth voice lines after each night take place in the week leading up to her death.
• This is where things get a bit controversial. The Silver Eyes takes place over Five Nights (as in the title), and since Charlie is in town for the 10th anniversary of the MCI, this means the book takes place from Monday, June 26th, 1995, through Friday, June 30th, 1995. In the book, we see Charlie springlock William as revenge for his crimes while the other animatronics drag him to the Safe Room. While it isn't 1-1, a similar thing happens in the Follow Me minigames, where on Night 5 all the spirits lead William into the Safe Room and springlock him as revenge for his crimes. Phone Guy also states that "If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath, I’d probably be a bit irritable at night too", which could relate to the predicament William Afton found himself in after Follow Me. This implies that the events of The Silver Eyes happen at the same time as Follow Me in the game continuity, which is why they had to be separated in the first place.
• Relating to the above point, both The Silver Eyes and Sister Location take place over the course of 5 nights and both involve the older brother of one of the dead children being trapped in a Springlock Suit on Night 4. Similarly, both Follow Me and Sister Location end with a man identified by a purple sprite being killed by the victims of the MCI (or maybe DCI for Sister Location). This implies that Sister Location and Follow Me also happen at the same time, and the reason Mike couldn't find his father was because he was springlocked in the back room at Freddy's.
• Since FNaF 3 is stated to be 30 years after a Freddy's location closed its doors, this means that it is in either 2015, 2017, or 2022. Since the game is released in 2015 and the Survival Logbook's previous coupon code matches that date if adjusted for inflation, FNaF 3 takes place in 2015. Due to the date of the MCI already being mentioned and work weeks in the games usually starting on Sunday, this means FNaF 3 takes place from June 21st, 2015, through June 26th, 2015 (after which it burns down). On a related note, the last night of Pizzeria Simulator is stated to be a Saturday, and since the game has a lot of relation to the Afton and Emily families, it's likely that it takes place on the day Charlie and Elizabeth died (October 31st). This implies that the game takes place from Monday, October 25th, 2015, through Saturday, October 31st, 2015.
• You may have noticed that Sister Location is the only game that doesn't start its work week on Sunday, instead beginning on Monday. That is because FNaF World takes place during this day, as implied by the lack of Funtime and Scrap animatronics. After this, the minigames from FNaF 3 are set up and Mike goes to the Sister Location bunker at the behest of his father. Ultimate Custom Night, however, has no set date because it is seemingly a time loop, an endless cycle of suffering endured by whoever you believe the player to be. Happiest Day only occurs after Ultimate Custom Night ends, but just as the Vengeful Spirit says, they will never happen.
• Now that we've covered the major events, let's get to the main course: The minigames. Considering the above evidence, Take Cake to the Children and Security Puppet take place on Monday, October 31st, 1983, Fruity Maze takes place on Wednesday, June 26th, 1985, and Circus Baby's Minigame takes place on Saturday, October 31st, 1987. Foxy Go!Go!Go! and Give Gifts, Give Life likely take place either on the same day as Fruity Maze or the day after on Thursday, June 27th, 1985, though the more likely option is the latter due to cluttering the number of events. The main FNaF 3 minigames besides Happiest Day take place during the events of FNaF 3, since Mike is the one setting them up. That only leaves the FNaF 4 minigames and Midnight Motorist. Due to Midnight Motorist being labeled "later that night" in the code, the rain texture being the same as Security Puppet, and the player driving a purple car, it's likely the minigame takes place the night of Charlie's murder. Since Elizabeth's death, the Bite of '87, and Pizzeria Simulator put a lot of emphasis on "parties on Saturday", it's likely they are calling back to the Bite of '83. Since William "should" have a motive to kill Charlie, this places the FNaF 4 minigames from Monday, October 24th, 1983, through Sunday, October 30th, 1983. This places the Bite of '83 on a Saturday, just like the Bite of '87.
• One last thing of note: Though the year she describes is inconsistent due to Book Charlie being a replica and not the real Charlie, she is born on Tuesday, May 13th, 1980, and dies at the age of 4. Similarly, the date of Fredbear's opening has also been inconsistent, ranging from 1979 to 1982 depending on the media. This seems to imply (to me at least) that Charlie's birthday is the same day Fredbear's opens. Also, since Elizabeth dies four years later on the same day as Charlie, it's likely the same is true for Elizabeth's birthday and the founding of Freddy's. Lastly, to me at least, Michael's birthday being the same day as Bite Victim would give him a motive to bully him and cause the Bite. Considering both Charlie and Elizabeth were four when they died, it's likely that Bite Victim's birthday is Wednesday, October 29th, 1980, with Michael being born on the same day in 1970 to allow him to be old enough to work at the FNaF 2 location as Fritz Smith. gives an exact date for almost any remaining dates missing.

Now that we've covered every possible point from the Clickteam games, let's take this information and form a timeline. Please note that not all of the specifics will be agreed upon, but I believe the general dates are correct.

• Thursday, October 29th, 1970 - Michael Afton (Mike) is born, William Afton and Henry Emily found Fazbear Entertainment.
• Tuesday, May 13th, 1980 - Charlotte Emily (Charlie) is born. Henry and William open Fredbear's Family Diner. In the diner are two animatronics, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie, who can be used as animatronics or worn as suits through the use of springlocks.
• Wednesday, October 29th, 1980 - Bite Victim (CC) is born, and Fredbear's is a massive success. Fazbear Entertainment is large enough to have plushies, action figures, build-your-own-robot toys, a Spring Bonnie finger trap, and even a TV Show called Fredbear & Friends.
• Friday, May 13th, 1983 - Elizabeth Afton (Abby) is born, Henry opens Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. In the Pizzeria are four animatronics (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy), who originated from Fredbear & Friends and don't feature the springlocks found in Fredbear and Spring Bonnie.
• Monday, October 24th, 1983, through Sunday, October 30th, 1983 - Mike torments his younger brother in the week leading up to their birthday while their father watches from afar using cameras and a Fredbear plush with a walkie talkie. The day of the party, Mike and his friends accidentally cause the Bite of '83 through a prank gone wrong, and he dies the following day with both Mike and William speaking to him on his deathbed. The Bite Victim possesses the Fredbear plush, but Mike locks it in a toy chest along with all his other toys so they don't have to think about him. While Mike and William are talking to CC, Fredbear's closes down, the suits are moved to Freddy's, and Fredbear is rebranded to Golden Freddy and given black accessories to replace the original purple accessories.
• Monday, October 31st, 1983 - William gets Henry to watch Mike so he can go to a nearby bar to drink his problems away. After being kicked out for getting too drunk, William drives to Freddy's in a drunken rage. William sees Charlie locked outside by a bunch of bullies and kills her, leaving her body outside by the dumpsters. The Security Puppet animatronic, designed to keep children safe after the accident at Fredbear's caused it to shut down, follows Charlie outside and deactivates while clutching her in its arms. This causes Charlie to possess the Security Puppet. When William gets home, Henry tells him to leave Mike be, but he refuses. He knocks on the locked door before checking the window outside. He remarks that he's run off to "that place", meaning where Mike buried the toy chest in the woods, and vows that Mike will be sorry when he returns.
• Sunday, June 23rd, 1985, through Saturday, June 29th, 1985 - Fazbear Entertainment hires Phone Guy to record safety tapes for the springlock suits used at Freddy's. On Tuesday, an incident involving multiple simultaneous springlock failures (the origins of Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie) causes wearing the suits to be banned. On Wednesday, William dons Spring Bonnie out of spite and lures two children, Susie and Jeremy, to the back room of Freddy's where the springlock suits were being stored and kills them. On Thursday, William kidnaps three more children (Gabriel, Fritz, and Cassidy) and brings them to Freddy's to kill them. He kills the first two the same way as before but has a "special gift" for the third one. He stuffs them into the Golden Freddy suit, then allows their crying and screaming to trigger the springlocks, causing yet another springlock failure. Once he leaves, the Puppet (AKA Charlie), takes action and stuffs the bodies of the other four children into the suits in hopes of bringing them to life the same way she was. This leads to Susie possessing Chica, Jeremy possessing Bonnie, Gabriel possessing Freddy, and Fritz possessing Foxy. Cassidy, however, had already been strong enough to possess Golden Freddy herself due to the agony of the springlock failure. On Friday, the police investigate Freddy's and find the Golden Freddy suit laying in a pile of blood, leading Fazbear Entertainment to seal the room the suits were being kept in. William frames Henry for the incident, causing him to go to prison for a crime he didn't commit and giving sole ownership of Fazbear Entertainment to Afton Robotics. However, the dead bodies being kept inside the other four suits began to leak blood and emit a foul odor, eventually leading the restaurant to be shut down due to sanitation violations.
• Sunday, October 25th, 1987, through Saturday, October 31st, 1987 - Now with total control, William opens a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The new restaurant used new models called the Toy animatronics, due to being based on various toys manufactured by Fazbear Entertainment. The initial plan was to reuse the original suits, but due to the bodies inside, William instead re-uses their parts for the new line of animatronics. This transfers the Remnant of the original animatronics to the new animatronics. While this was occurring, he also began work on opening a new location, Circus Baby's Pizza World, with more humanoid animatronics in the form of Baby & the Bidybabs, Ballora & the Minireenas, BB, and JJ. The location also had two additional animatronics, Funtime Freddy with his hand-puppet Bon Bon, and Funtime Foxy. The animatronics at Circus Baby's were built for the purpose of gaining more Remnant and were programmed to lure, capture, and kill children. Abby, however, developed an obsession with wanting to see Circus Baby. Starting on Tuesday, she begins begging her dad every day to play with Circus Baby. William, obviously not wanting one of his own kids to die again, refuses. On Saturday, however, Abby manages to escape William's view and see Circus Baby, leading to the animatronic doing as it was programmed: killing Abby and extracting her Remnant. William, distraught by the loss of yet another child, cancels the opening of Circus Baby's due to "gas leaks" and retires the animatronics to a storage facility underneath his house. However, BB, JJ, and Funtime Foxy were moved to Freddy's instead.
• Sunday, November 1st, 1987, through Saturday, November 14th, 1987 - William, now robbed of the location he had planned to use for testing, gets a job as a night guard at Freddy's under the fake name "Dave Miller" to obverse the location. At first things seem to be going smoothly, but the animatronics quickly recognize him and attempt to kill him repeatedly throughout his work week. By Saturday, November 7th, he contacts the restaurant as "Dave Miller" and reports the behavior of the animatronics, which leads to him being moved to the day shift and a new employee named Jeremy Fitzgerald (one of Mike's childhood friends) taking his place. During Jeremy's work week, Phone Guy calls him each night to update him on current events and guide him through his shift. William, still needing Remnant, uses his position as a day guard to kill five more unnamed children. This causes the animatronics to become even more aggressive and leads to "Dave Miller" being fired by the company. However, since William still owned the building, he closes the location publicly. However, he allows one family to have a birthday party on Saturday and sets up Jeremy as the day guard. The animatronics (likely Toy Chica), believing him to be William, cause the Bite of '87 and leave Jeremy without a frontal lobe. Following this, the location shuts down for good and William sends Mike under the fake name "Fritz Smith" to dismantle the animatronics and return them to him. He uses the parts he has to repair the original animatronics and re-open the original Freddy's location to very limited success. He also injects the Remnant from the Toy animatronics into the Funtimes and repairs Funtime Foxy (who had been torn apart by toddlers while he was there and become Mangle), making them more hostile than before.
• Sunday, November 1st, 1992, through Saturday, November 14th, 1992 - While the Phone Guy had managed to work as a night guard at the FNaF 1 location for a very long time, he eventually got old enough to retire on his last work week in November. As such, he begins to record a set of training tapes for the next in line for the job after him. Things go smoothly the first three nights, but on Wednesday the animatronics finally get the better of him. They kill him and stuff him in a Freddy suit in the back room. This gives William an idea. From November 7th to November 14th, he performs experiments on Mike by poisoning his room with fear gas during the day, leading him to have horrific nightmares of the Freddy's animatronics. During the night, he sends Mike to work at Freddy's again as a night guard under the last name "Schmidt". On Saturday, however, Mike listens to the tapes Phone Guy left and checks inside the animatronics, leading him to discover what his father had done. This leads to William "firing" Mike and to the experiments worsening over the next few years. After a while, Mike's fear of the experiments leads to him becoming completely subservient to William and wanting nothing more than to please him.
• Sunday, June 25th, 1995 - FNaF World...happens. It's hard to explain exactly WHAT happens since the game is built on metaphors and double meanings, but its events are important because they set up the events of FNaF 3, Pizzeria Simulator, and Ultimate Custom Night. All that we know for certain is that Mike opens the box (as seen in the game's files), he remembers everything that happened, and he is tasked with putting the pieces in place to help his younger brother. Could it be a dream, altered by the spirit of CC, the fear gas, or something else? Could it be an in-universe game he played that was kept in the box with the other toys, explaining the repeated use of Atari imagery in cutscenes and minigames? Or could it just be something silly Scott wanted to make used to represent Mike and CC's memories of the past? I have no clue, and I don't think anyone else truly does either, so I'll just say it happened and leave it at that. Although, something important to know for later is that Old Man Consequences in FNaF World is used to represent Henry, given their similar speech patterns and his cutscene in UCN.
• Monday, June 26th, 1995, through Friday, June 30th, 1995 - William, running low on Remnant after experimenting on the Funtimes, returns to Freddy's to extract more Remnant from the original animatronics now that the location has closed. He lures them into the same back room he killed the children in and dismantles them one-by-one. While he's there, he sends Mike to the underground storage facility, now named Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals, to "put his sister back together". On Thursday, the animatronics kidnap Mike and place him in a springlock suit, forcing him to watch Ballora be injected with the Remnant of the original animatronics before allowing him to leave. On Friday, however, both Mike and William run out of luck. The animatronics at Circus Baby's tear themselves apart and join together to form Ennard, who tricks Mike into following them into the Scooping Room. The Scooper tears out his insides and allows Ennard to use him as a skin suit. While this is occurring, the ghosts of the children from the MCI take form before William and frighten him. In response, he remembers how wearing an animatronic mask confused them, so he wears the Spring Bonnie suit in hopes it'll make them leave. However, the general lack of maintenance and the wet surroundings lead to him experiencing a springlock failure first-hand. He dies a karmic death, but the agony of the springlock failure leads to him possessing the suit and becoming Springtrap.
• Saturday, July 1st, 1995, through Saturday, July 8th, 1995 - In the week following Mike's death, Ennard uses his body for a while to attempt to fit in with the other people in town. However, they didn't account for Mike's body decomposing due to exposure to air and sunlight. By Friday, they decide to abandon ship and vomit themselves out of Mike's corpse, leading him to collapse. However, the Scooper also injected Mike with Remnant, allowing him to reanimate himself and regain consciousness. This leads to Saturday, July 8th, where Mike laments his life and vows to find his father and get revenge for all the damage he's caused. While this is happening, Ennard is beginning to fall apart. The majority (Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy, and Ballora) eject Circus Baby's parts from their body, leading to Circus Baby having to put herself back together in more ways than one and becoming Scrap Baby. However, this causes their Remnant to destabilize and become molten hot, leading to their form melting into an amorphous pile of Remnant and animatronic parts called Molten Freddy.
• Sunday, June 21st, 2015, through Friday, June 26th, 2015 - 30 years after the MCI at Fredy's and 20 years after the events at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, a horror attraction called Fazbear's Fright opens. Mike, seeing this as an opportunity to find his father, again applies for a job as a night guard and works there for 6 days. On Sunday, he has no luck and just sits in an empty office. He writes in the Logbook given to him by Phone Dude, the owner of the attraction, and notices two spirits communicating in the book. He remembers the events of FNaF World and uses this opportunity to pick up the pieces left for him and free the souls of the children. On Monday, however, Phone Dude has "great" news for him. He found Springtrap (AKA his father) in the backroom of Freddy's and is using him for the attraction. He also found the first set of training tapes Phone Guy recorded and plays them for the rest of Mike's work week. Over the course of the week, he communicates with the spirits in the Logbook, sets up their "Happiest Day", and defends against his father's attempts to kill him all while dealing with faulty equipment and Remnant-based hallucinations. On Friday, after he's certain the pieces are in place and has learned who the people communicating in the Logbook are (CC for certain, but the other could be either Cassidy or Charlie depending on how you look at it), he burns the attraction to the ground with both of them inside. However, William escapes, leading Mike to return once again and give chase. The Puppet, who had been at the location alongside Mike since it opened, also follows suit.
• Sunday, October 25th, 2015, through Saturday, October 31st, 2015 - Henry is released from prison on Sunday after the police in town investigate the animatronics roaming the streets and discover Circus Baby's, proving he was innocent all along. After leaving, he comes up with a plan. He reuses a bunch of older animatronics from before Fredbear's opened and repurposes one named Carnie into LEFTE, who he uses to capture the Puppet. He also builds a fake pizzeria above ground, with an elaborate labyrinth of vents with a large empty room in the middle below ground. He hires a new manager for the location, and tasks them with salvaging any animatronics found in the underground room. After the manager leaves, they will seal the room behind them. Afterwards, once all the animatronic menaces lurking around are inside, he will burn the location to the ground with no chance of escape for anyone but the manager (including himself). However, something unexpected happens. Instead of some rando getting the job, William's son Mike takes the position instead. He follows Henry's instructions perfectly until Saturday, when Henry's plan has come to fruition and the location begins to catch fire. However, Henry knew that Mike was exactly where he wanted to be, and that he wouldn't use the escape Henry left for him. He gives one final speech as they all burn together.
• Post-October 31st, 2015 - This one will also be a bit controversial. After the smoke clears, all the souls still present are freed from their animatronic prisons and allowed to move on. That is, all except for two. William was still undeterred and was attempting to possess another vessel, and Mike still wanted to make his father suffer how he had suffered. So, using the Remnant of the other spirits, he drags William into a coma. A dream he will never awaken from where he experiences what Mike went through and is taunted by the children he killed over, and over, and over. Henry (through Old Man Consequences) tries to reason with him, urging him to let William burn in Hell and allow Happiest Day to come to fruition. But Mike won't let that happen. He will hold him there. He will keep him there. No matter how many times they're burned.

And that's it. This post took me all day writing out and double-checking to make sure I didn't get anything incorrect, but I'm sure there are a few typos or inconsistencies and that there are pieces of information I've missed. After all, no one knows all the answers about FNaF except Scott himself, and even Scott makes mistakes. But I feel confident in this and hope that it leaves some sort of impact.

I will try to keep this as clear and brief as possible. My Sister's ex coworker has JW family (parents) and apparently he rejoined again.
She developed a crush on him after being friends for 1-2 years, after confessing her feelings he said no and after that they fought. Apparently he is a narcissist who takes advantage of girls by telling a sob story of how he is dying due to a terminal illness he has.
Things got from bad to worse and my sister with rage sent him a really hurtful text related to his illness, she blocked him and they haven't spoken since. Ever since this my sister says that during her daily walks people are following her: taking pictures of her while they are in the car, a lady telling her "to go the fuck back home", taking pictures of her while she is in the mall etc...
Is this common practice?
I really dont know if this is even the place to ask this but searching online I stumble on this subreddit.

Stupidly had unprotected sex on day 5 of my cycle (which usually lasts 25-26 days, of which the first 3-4 are my period). I’m now on day 16 and experiencing some weird things.
When I stepped into my car this morning I felt so sick at the smell of ‘new car’, which had never bothered me previously. The feeling and smell (??) of cold air from the AC blowing on me also made me gag. Later today I got hit by two waves of extreme fatigue and had to nap, which I rarely do.
I want to take a test but everything I’ve read online says they’re inaccurate until a few days before your missed period. I don’t want to give myself a false sense of relief if I get a negative because it’s too soon.
Is it too early to even be having these ‘symptoms’ or is it within the realm of possibility?

I live in a historic city and was headed home through a downtown area Saturday afternoon, stopped at a red light. To set the scene, I was under an overpass, and across the intersection on the right side is a parking deck with windows on each floor of the stairwell in the corner. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I thought was a shadow on the corner of the parking deck in the window and assumed it was from one of the cars on the overpass above me. However, this "shadow" moved OFF of the building and began moving in open air. It only lasted a second or two- it was pretty quick & didn't have a definite shape, more like an oblong shape with a shark-fin'ish protrusion at the top, and it was a misty black or dark gray- then it vanished. I've had more than a few paranormal experiences in my life, but I've never seen anything like this. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

TA because I regularly use Reddit. I 18m have been told by my friends that my gf 21f groomed me into a toxic relationship, I have been having a hard time making my mind up about what to do or what to think, to start off I’ll give some backstory. Me and my gf met in school, she was in the same year as my sister 21f and they were friends, not really close but they hung around each other a lot because of their friendship groups.
My sister had a small friendship group throughout secondary school, they would come around to our house a lot Because my mum was at work week days till 8 pm so our house would be the hang out spot after school. My dad was not really in the picture, although he did provide for us he was never their physically so I never had an older male figure in my life, my sister looked after me all throughout my child hood and she was like my mum. My bio mum was still their and loved us and took care of us but because she was working all the time we rarely saw her during the week, she would get home around 9pm and go to sleep to be out by 6am the next day, during the week ends we would spend time together but because of this it was my sister that would take me to school, cook , care for me when I was sick. when she got into secondary school my mum drop all of her motherly duties like parents teacher meetings, doctor appointments things like that.
When my sister went into year 12 and I in year 9 ( the same school) her friendship group expanded as new people joined, one of these new people is my now gf Emma (fake name), she joined our school with a couple of her friends which then added on to my sister group and became one big group of about 8, these girls would often come to my house after school on Thursdays and Fridays, there would be about 4-5 of them over (rarely the full group) however this meant I hung around with them a lot because I was close to my sister. On Thursdays I would have football after school so I would come home at about 6 and they would all be sitting in the living room so I would see them and talk to them before showering and eating. And Friday I would walk home with them. Emma was not overly close with my sister so a lot of the time she would only go if her best friend went so I didn’t really see her much during that year. However the year after an issue happened and her best friend’s was kick out of the group, after that Emma became a lot close to one of the girls who was apart of my sister’s original group. She then started coming regularly to my house.
As a young teen boy I had a crush on a lot of my sisters friends and they use to tease me about it a lot, they all use to say that if I was a bit older the would love to date me. One day I was talking to my sister and confessed I had a big crush on Emma, and as my sister did she teased me about it in front of her friends including Emma they all laughed and joke about it and this time I don’t know why but it made me upset and I excused my self and went to my room I guess they saw I was upset and my sister came to check on me, she apologised and said that they were just joking and didn’t mean to upset me, I told her I was fine and that it was getting a bit annoying as they always did it, and it made me feel insecure. I know I was overthinking but I was young and still developing, I wasn’t ugly or anything in fact I think I was quite good looking, I was quite popular but never really wanted to date as I focused more on my football and friends, I had a fair bit of female attention for girls in my year and had lots of female friends so I don’t know why I was so upset about being teased. Anyway my sister went back down to her friends and I guess told them what I said as a I got a knock on my door a few minutes later, I said come in and Emma walked through the door she looked a bit guilty, she said she wanted to apologise as she felt like she shouldn’t have made fun of my feelings I said it was ok and knew it was just light joking. She then said that I was very handsome and fit, I of course blushed and she noticed and smiled, she came over to my desk where I was sitting and ask what I was doing, I was doing some math homework and she said that she was really good at math and could tutor me. I remember my sister saying that Emma was really smart and did maths, further maths and physics for her a-levels. I was not very good at maths and had GCSEs coming up next year so I ask her if she could help me prepare for them. She told me she would next year but she needs to prepare for her a-levels this year. She left shortly after helping with a few questions. She continued to come to my house throughout that year and we had conversations often nothing flirty or sexual in any nature, just boring topics like school and football (I am 15 she is 18)
During that summer my sister and her group booked a holiday before they all went off to uni. A couple of days before they left 3 girls came over (including Emma) after they had been shopping, they were in my sisters room most of the time and they were also trying clothes in shared bathroom. After playing on my game I need the toilet, I looked and saw the light was on and the door was slightly opened thinking no one was in there I opened to see Emma in a bikini looking in the mirror she noticed me and jumped. I apologised and went back to my room. I later heard a knock on my door and Emma walked in she was wearing a tracksuit but after seeing her in a bikini all I could do was in-vision that, I stared at the floor because I was embarrassed, she giggled and said that I shouldn’t of been peaking on her, I jumped up and said I wasn’t and that it was an accident. She said that she didn’t mind and that boys like to look at her. She was very pretty and had nice curves, and very popular with boys but never really date from what I heard. She then started to undress I asked what she was doing, she said she wanted a boy input and since I already saw her in her bikini it’s fine. She stood there posing in her bikini before asking how she look and of course I said she looks great, she smiled and said that she was happy I liked it. I was very embarrassed as I wasn’t in this situation a lot, after she put her clothes back on she left my room and I went back to playing. I didn’t see her for the rest of that summer but the memory popped up in my head a lot. That next year she attend the same uni as my sister as they both didn’t want to leave home so they became closer and shes at my house a lot but acted as though it never happened gradually I did to.
around November I got a gf this wasn’t my first experience with a girl but it was my first relationship and I relied on my sister a lot to help me through it. She obviously told Emma and she helped me as-well giving advise on what girls like, she also kept true on my promise and tutored me in math for my GCSEs we would do 2 hour lessons every Wednesday and Sunday, we became quite close and bonded really well. On Wednesday she would come to my house and Sundays I would go to hers she would also come and see my sister through out the week and I started seeing her as like a second sister. This is where things take a turn in April (I am 16 now) me and my gf broke up and I was devastated as this was my first relationship and I really tried. A day or two after the break up Emma came round to see my sister, after a couple of hours she came to my room to say hello, she saw I was quite sad and asked me what was wrong and I told her about my brake up. She hugged me and said that it was normal to be sad and said if there was anything she could do to make it better to just asked her, I said jokingly get me a new gf, she laughs and said I would happy to be your gf if you want. I laughed and said that would be perfect. She then said that I was a great guy and any girl would be happy to be with me, she kissed me on the cheek and left I didn’t think anything of it, as I said I saw her like a sister and that’s something my sister would do, that was until I told my best friend (d), D 18m and I have been best friends since the start of secondary and he knows everything that’s happened with Emma, he’s also met her a couple of time at my house. After explaining what happened I was laughing and he wasn’t he looked at me and told me that she wants me, I thought he was joking and laughed again but he was still straight faced. After that I went home and thought about it and I decided that d was just being stupid.
The next time Emma and I did tutoring lessons I notice she was being a lot more flirty, I started to think d was right. His opinion solidified when one Sunday at her house, we were finishing up our last session as my exams were in a week she told me how proud she was and that I had gotten much better and that I will do really well on my exam, she then said that she had a reward for me. I was surprised because she never said that I would get a reward for doing well, I accepted anyway and ask what it was she said it was a secret and I should sit on the bed, she left the room and I sat on her bed. after a few minutes she came back in wearing the bikini she had gotten last summer I was shock and looked away, she said that it was okay and that this was my reward, I was uncomfortable and didn’t know what to say. She came closer and sat next to me on the bed she told me that when she was comforting me when I broke up with my gf she was happy that I said that I would want her to be my gf, she said that the boys that were interested in her never wanted a relationship and just want her body, this explains her not dating, I said that I thought we were just joking, she looked upset and I said that I would love if she was my gf but it would be weird as she’s my sister friend, she then said that she’s just rewarding me and didn’t actually want to date me, just saying that I made her happy with my comment, this confused me as she look sad when I said I didn’t want her to be my gf. She then hugged me pulling me into her half bare chest saying that for now to treat her as my gf, I didn’t know what to do I was really confused. Does she want to be my gf? What does she want me to do? I pulled away from her and said we should watch a movie or something as this situation was making me uncomfortable. She said that’s a great Idea. We got set up and put on a film we were lying on her bed when she turns and said, I told you to treat me as your gf and started to cuddle me, as the movie went on she was making more moves and started to rub my legs and arms. I got really turn on and as she rubbed my leg she brushed over my **** and said if I wanted to she wouldn’t mind helping me out. I was flustered and apologised saying she didn’t need to, she said it was ok and started rubbing it, we ended up having sex and I went home. When I got home my sister was sitting in the living room with her at the time bf, she asked me how my session went and I said good and ran up stairs. I instantly called d and told him what happened he was laughing and said I told you so, he ask how it felt and I told him that I wasn’t very comfortable doing it with her but in the moment she kinda just lead me to do it so I followed. He ask if I wanted to and I said of course hypothetically but I didn’t feel comfortable that it was actually happening. I said that I really only did it because she was telling me it was ok. He said that I should let Emma know how I was feeling so that it didn’t happen again. I messaged her on ig and told her what I told d, she replied saying that I should come over so I could explain better.
The next day I went over after school, her parents went home and she doesn’t have siblings normally I wouldn’t think about this when going over to do lessons but now it felt different, I went in and sat on the sofa she got me a drink and sat next to me, she then ask how I was feeling I explained my emotions and how I felt during and after, she listen intently and after apologised for making me feel like that. She then said that I was probably feeling guilty as she’s my sisters friend, I agreed as when I saw my sister after I couldn’t look her in the eye, she said that it was normal and ok to feel that way, she then asked if I enjoyed the sex, I replied yes, she asked if it was better then my ex which it was as we were each other first and didn’t really know what we were doing, I replied yes again, she then asked if I would want to do it again, I said idk, she said that it might make me feel better if we do it again as sometimes people are not sure how they feel after doing it just once, I hesitantly agreed, so we started to make out on the sofa, after 5-10 minutes I started to feel better and less guilty as it was a nice feeling, she stopped and said we should go to her room, I agreed we had sex again a couple of times before he parents got home. I left and went home I was felt a lot better this time so I thought Emma was right and that it was just a overwhelming emotions that make me feel that way the first time, when I got home I was able to speak to my sister normally but didn’t tell her what happened as I didn’t know how she would react. I continued going the Emma’s house every week, it was like this until the end of my exams. During summer we started properly dating, I ended up telling my sister and she was angry at first but forgave us pretty quick, during the time we was dating Emma would tell me how I need to act and what I needed to do to be a good bf, I believed her as I thought she was more experienced, she would tell me that I shouldn’t have female friends as they are temptations that could effect our relationship, and that she should be prioritised above my friends, I started hanging with Emma more and friends less the only friend I talked to and saw regularly was d. At around the end of summer (August) I asked her to be my gf officially she said yes, but being my gf comes with more rules, she said we need to spend time together 2/3 times a week minimum and that she needs my location, access to my socials I agreed to these as I thought it was normal the only thing I didn’t agree to was to stop talking to d as often, she said I was prioritising him over her and that she doesn’t feel like I actually love her, and that if I did I would agree, I said that she was stupid if she thought that and told her I would not be agreeing to go lc with d, she got upset and ghosted me for 3 days I ended up apologising and agreed to stop talking and seeing d as much, he went to a different sixth form to me so I couldn’t see him in school anymore, this made me sad as he was my best friend and we would see each other all the time, yet I agreed as I thought it’s was normal in relationship, this has been the way our relationship was for the past 9 months, I have been happy with her and loved her, we have our arguments but it usually ends up as her airing me and then me eventually apologising and then going back to normal. We spent a lot of time together and have sex regularly I genuinely thought I was happy unit now.
Last week I went out with some friends for leavers as school is finished and exam period is coming up, we had our last day and Friday we decided to go out, I was with d and other friends from our group when 2 hours in I get a call from Emma asking where I was i told her I was out with friends for leavers, she was upset and said that I was supposed to be with her today, I told her that I haven’t gone out in a long time and that I’ll see her later. She said that I needed to leave and get to her within an hour and hung up. I apologised to my friends and got ready to leave, they all had shocked faces, I asked what was wrong and they said that they herd the way she was speaking to me and that wasn’t right, d then said that he had been wanting to speak to me about it for a long time, I asked what he meant and he said that he had been thinking about my relationship with Emma and said that he thinks I was groomed into a toxic relationship with her. He then went on to explain everything to our friends who didn’t previously know how we started dating (only d knew everything) they were all shocked and my female friends were asking if I was ok and saying they would never treat their bfs like that I was confused as I thought this was normal in a relationship, we had a long discussion about my relationship with Emma and i started to realise that I am in a toxic relationship. I ended up leaving after an hour and went to see Emma I apologised for being late and she was a bit annoyed but forgave me. I didn’t confront her then because I was still confused about my emotions and d said that she might manipulate me and turn it onto me so I took his advice and stayed quite about it and just observe her behaviour. D was previously in a toxic relationship and knew how they acted and how they manipulated people into believing that their not in the wrong, I told her about how nice it was to see all of my friends again and told her what we were doing, she started asking me about who was there. I told her my friendship group and some old female friends and just like d said she started making me out to be a bad person for hanging around other females, I didn’t say anything and just carried on as normal apologising and comforting her. We moved on and I stayed then night, the next day I went home and spoke to d and told him what happened, he said I need to leave now before it’s to late and I will be too attached to her to leave.
That’s why I am here I am asking for advice on what I should do next, I am sure I need to leave but I don’t know how to, I love her and I feel like she could possibly manipulate me into staying. How do I get out of this toxic relationship.

Choosing the best gift for your girlfriend or wife on your anniversary involves considering her tastes, interests, and the significance of your relationship. Here are some thoughtful and personalized ideas to inspire you:

Ultimately, the best gift is one that comes from the heart and shows your appreciation and love for her.

WAR
A few days later my phone buzz-chirped. I opened my messages to find several pics of Dennis' Jeep, a blurry mess of lights, and a final shot of Dennis leaning back in the driver's seat with his eyes closed and his junk out and at attention. And there was a caption.
"Consider us EVEN."
I saw red. The possibility of finding peaceful contentment with Whisky was a distant memory. A figment of my imagination. I wanted blood. I wanted to slap Mary's fat fucking face senseless. I wanted to rat her out to Chuck. I was livid. Angry heat spread from my sternum to my shoulders, and the sharp sting of wrath radiated through my being. I rang Mary.
Mary: How does it feel, bitch?
I couldn't make words. I was shaking. My head was spinning. All I could muster was a meek little, "Why???"
Mary: You owed me.
Me: Mary, I'm not screwing Whiskers. And how did you even FIND Dennis? Do you even LIKE him?
Mary: Totes! He's soooooo cute! We banged it out five or six times in his car, and then he told me to lie down in the parking lot. And then he pissed all over my titties! It was soooo hot!
Me: I don't believe you. Dennis is into some pervy-ass shit. But not piss.
Mary: Well, he told me you were too vanilla to do anything fun.
Me: YEAH. I didn't wanna get butt-blasted without a rubber by a guy who couldn't even be bothered to show up when we had plans. That's not being vanilla. That's having self-respect.
Mary: Guys don't like girls who make a big deal about self-respect. It's a major turn-off. That's why I get so much more boom-boom than you do. Hey! Now that we're done fighting, you can pick me up and take me out for sushi! I'll teach you how to make men happy and then you'll owe me dinner. I obviously pleased Dennis when you couldn't.
Words failed me yet again. I shouted a much, much filthier version of, "GO SCREW," hung up on her, put on my sneakers, and ran aimlessly through my neighborhood until I almost collapsed. Once I trudged back home, I smoked a shit-ton of cigarettes and drank a shit-ton of vodka (for me, which was like... three shots) and really did collapse.
Up to this point, I felt like I had been patient with Mary. More patient than she deserved. I probably hadn’t done her any favors by allowing her to behave like a fucking maniac while I did nothing more than gently suggesting alternative behaviors. I still wanted to have faith in her ability to grow (emotionally). But all of that came crashing down. For some reason, my formerly improved sense of self-respect crashed as well...
I texted Whisky, planned to meet him at his townhouse, and successfully banged him. It was absolutely a hate bang even though I didn't hate Whisky at all (yet). I'd never engaged in hate-fueled intimacy before. I didn't realize those two states could co-exist like that. As reluctant as I am to admit it, it was cathartic. And it was also admittedly unfair to Whisky because he had no idea what was happening. I had just used him to make myself feel marginally better about a guy I guess I still had some kind of feelings for.
In case I've been unclear, I'm fully acknowledging that my actions were immature, inconsiderate, and indefensible. Don't bang somebody just because you're mad at somebody else, kids. Nobody wins. Well, it might feel like winning for a short time. It's NOT. It's bad behavior. And I absolutely hold myself accountable. Did I deserve to get verbally abused by the psycho neckbeard lurking behind the mask of the man I’d just hate-banged? No. Unequivocally, NO. But would Whisky have been well within his rights to dump me in a spectacular fashion if he’d realized what I was doing in that moment? Abso-freakin-lutely. Hell, I would have totally deserved it if he’d booted me out of his house butt-naked and screamed insults from the window. An isolated hurling of insults is not the same thing as chronic verbal maltreatment within the context of a relationship. But that's a serious topic that feels out of place in this story.
So instead of calling me on my crap and giving my butt the boot, Whisky remained oblivious to what was going on in my misguided mind and took the hate bang to mean that our relationship had just gone to the next level. And he became even sweeter and more affectionate towards me. This made my skin crawl because all my feelings for Dennis (both good and bad) had just come flooding back with a vengeance. I had no idea what to do with them. Part of me wanted Dennis to hug me and apologize. Part of me wanted to punch him in the dick. Part of me wanted Whisky to hug me and assure me that I had value as a human being even if some Golden God hadn’t chosen me to be his partner. And then part of me wanted to snap at Whisky every time he touched me. "You're NOT the one I want, Asshat!!!!!!!"
But the truth was... I didn't really want Dennis anymore. I mean... I wanted him in theory, but I didn't want the real version. He was a flake. He was nasty. I couldn't wrap my head around his inconsistent, albeit devout, spiritual beliefs. He was indeed a braggadocious butthead. I suspected that he wasn't even a very nice person beneath his affable veneer. Even so, I was irrationally irate with Mary for deliberately stalking him and seducing him. Did she really think that would make me look at my relationship with Whisky differently? I hadn't stalked him. I hadn't even pursued him. In fact, I'd rejected him several times (albeit not out of respect for Mary). How are these two situations alike??? What am I failing to see here??? Maybe I was the villain. I certainly wasn't innocent. But neither was Mary.
I mean... Mary was friggin’ MARRIED. And she'd been going around blabbing indelicately about all her supremely nasty boom-boom (whether real or fabricated) with Whiskers, Scumbanger, Tech Guy, Artistic Director, and the Hoggs. How the living, breathing, God-forsaken FUCK had she decided that she was entitled to sexy time with my (former?) crush just because I was dating ONE of the innumerable guys she’d stalked once upon a time???? Gaaaahhhhhhhhh!
And then it got even worse. Dennis was almost finished with his graduate program and was planning to move to New York that summer, while I still had another two years to go (counting the internship). But we both worked in the Neuropharmacology Lab that semester, so I still had to see him every week. Even though nothing had happened between us in a long, long time, I never knew if Dennis was going acknowledge my presence or look right through me. The power of invisibility isn't all it's cracked up ti be. But the next time I saw him, following the Mary tryst, he very deliberately approached me and said in an almost apologetic tone, "Val? Can we please talk after lab?" I nodded.
He asked me to get in his car, but I couldn't stand the thought of sitting in the ghost of Mary's snail trail. I insisted that we sit in my car, and he didn't protest. The familiar scent of mandarins and mountain air wafted through my Prius as I steeled myself for a confrontation.
Dennis: I think your friend stalked me...
Me: The crazy bitch with the big boobs?
Dennis: Yeah... She messaged me on Facebook and she was talking like you'd told her about me and thought we should hang out. I said we should call you and invite you to come along, but she said you had a boyfriend. Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: I'm dating someone. But what does it matter?
Dennis: Oh. I guess it doesn't. Anyway, I met her at this 24-hour diner. She drank like... ten beers even though I told her I don't drink. She kept talking about her cat or something...
Me: Whiskers?
Dennis: Yeah.
Me: That's a guy. She used to have a thing for him.
Dennis: That’s a guy’s name??? Weird. Well, anyway... She got all sloppy and literally started doing mouth stuff to me under the table.
My stomach turned and my blood boiled. "I don't need to hear that. She already told me all about your night. She sent me pictures of your dick and she told me how you peed on her in the parking lot."
Dennis: She said I WHAT??? Babe! Er. Um. Val! I would never do that.
I gave him a skeptical stare.
Dennis: Hand to God! I didn't pee on her. But, wait... She took pictures of my stuff???
I took out my phone and showed him the pic. Dennis blushed ferociously and looked away. Finally, he said quietly, "I'm so ashamed of myself."
I sighed. "You're always ashamed of yourself. That's why I stopped fooling around with you. It felt like you were ashamed of me, too."
Dennis: Babe! No. I just have to get right with God.
Me: Well, have you talked to God about Mary?
Dennis: I'm not ready for that one yet. I feel dirty. Like... dirtier than usual.
Me: Well, now I feel kind of guilty. She's mad at me because I'm dating a guy she used to have a crush on. She went after you because she knew I used to have a crush on you.
Dennis: You had a crush on me??? For real?
At first, I scoffed (thinking he was being sarcastic). Then I looked at his wide eyes and realized that he might have actually been that clueless.
Me: Yes, Dennis. I massively had a crush on you. You knew that. But I was apparently too vanilla for you, according to Mary.
Dennis: What??? Babe! I never said you were vanilla. I said you were classier than her.
Me: Well... Thank you? If that really is what you said to her, I appreciate that.
Dennis (striking his version of a smoldering pose): So. Uh... You still have a crush on me?
Me: I think I'll always wonder what could have been if we were each just... slightly different people. But I had to move on. I knew you didn't like me in that way, and it wasn't fair to either of us.
Dennis: Well, for what it's worth, I wish it had been your mouth the other night.
I finally smiled a little bit. I wished the same thing. But I didn't say that out loud.

Oddly enough, having that somewhat respectful, somewhat reassuring conversation with Dennis quelled my anger at Mary... a little. Don't get me wrong; I was still pissed and I never let her get close to me again after that. But I also never made a big, dramatic show of telling her off. In my mind, that would have invited more unnecessary drama. By tacitly distancing myself and henceforth keeping her at arm's length, she wasn't able to freak out over anything and I was able to keep her out of my business.
Years and years later, even now that Mary is a functional person with a healthy BMI, and much better manners (most of the time), she is still wont to bring up her tryst with Dennis. While I genuinely applaud her for putting in the work and making some sensible changes, I'll never be super buddy-buddy with her again. The fact that she still throws Dennis in my face to this very day makes me suspect that there remains a touch of cray in her gray matter.
And where Whisky was concerned, I had finally felt some sense of closure with Dennis after the aforementioned talk. So I leaned into a new relationship. And it was fine at first. Not super hot, but also not super weird. Having learned from my disgusting mistake, I know that I tend to get tempted to speculate about incredibly offensive crap regarding Funky Whisky whenever his behavior is unremarkable and not in keeping with the delightfully repulsive tone that this audience tends to enjoy. So I'll end this chapter here. In the next proper installment, I'll finally shed some light on The Goblinization. But before I wrap things up, I need to write a one-off about The Pie Guy and bring back some classic cringe!

Just a brief introduction before we get into the dream. I am 17(m) and I regularly have extremely vivid dreams where I'm fully engrossed and believe 100% that what I'm experiencing is reality. I wake up daily either sad or relieved that what I had experienced in the night wasn't real. As you can imagine this makes dreams either blissful or horrifying, depending on the contents. Another thing to note is that this is probably the third dream I've had where someone has been trying to eat me.
So basically the first thing I can remember was that I was with 2 of my buddies and we were riding Hogs (Yes, large pigs) down the highway at 120 mph+. Extremely fun and exhilarating as we passed by car after car at extremely high speeds. After a while, we take a turn to the left and start taking a trail through the most beautiful valley. The sun is shining down with a yellowy and orangish tint. The grass around me is swaying in the wind all across these countless hills. Truly one of the most beautiful scenes of nature I've ever seen, I couldn't have predicted what would happen next. We eventually come across a small town with a tavern and a bunch of people sitting, drinking, and watching something happen in a pit. I forget what was going on inside the pit but I don't recall it being anything bad, a soccer match perhaps? (That's what my mind is leaning towards anyway). Overtime me and 1 buddy of mine get to know the people of the town a bit better and the town leader (I wouldn't call him the mayor, he was more of just a leading figure in their community than a mayor, but I'll call him that anyway for convenience). (Something to note is that the mayor is a tall and strong man, probably about 7 feet tall and heavy, I couldn't tell you how heavy tho) The mayor was extremely hospitable to us and even showed us a place to stay with another person who also seemed to be traveling along and staying for a while. (I don't know exactly where my third friend went, however, I'm quite certain he stayed on the road and continued towards our original direction). The traveler (As I'll call him) was around 6ft 70kg and black in skin color. He was a kind, quiet fellow. However, he didn't really wanna make too much eye contact with me (which will make sense later on). I didn't think too much of it at the time. The day passes by without much else happening and I fall asleep in the same room as the traveler with my friend there alongside me, and we wake up in the morning. The next morning we are sitting at the bar when all of a sudden the mayor walks out of the back and right past me with two rather fancy antique cheese knives in each hand. I could feel the dread build up inside me for a split second. (I thought he was coming to kill me) I quickly become slightly relieved after he walks straight past me, however, that was short-lived as he shouts something to someone else and sticks him with both knives right in the chest. It was horrifying to witness the breath and life get sucked out of that man right before my very eyes, it was so real. There was also a sound effect of a deep "bumm" sound the second he stabbed him, only adding to the severity of the moment. I was about to start fighting the mayor but before I did, I realized everyone in the town was on his side. They started chanting and all looked at me and my friend as though they were going to kill us next. It was at this moment I realized all these people were cannibals luring victims into their town to kill and eat. I instantly became disgusted as I had eaten some of their meat the prior day. I was scared and began to run, however I didn't get far before eventually being taken down and captured. (This was the last thing I remember before being ported back at the start of when I first came across the town). I had died but it was as though I was given a second chance to try and survive this encounter (This had never happened to me in a dream before, I had never died in any of the dreams leading up to this point). I walked through the town and into the tavern keeping a cool face despite knowing full well what was going to happen the following day. I got back to the part where the mayor introduced me to the traveler, I looked at him with disdain as I realized he had sided with the cannibals. This is why he couldn't look me in the eyes, he was too ashamed of the fact he knew what would happen to us. I'm dreading going to sleep in this tavern as I know that these people are trying to eat me ("What if they get me in my sleep" is what I was thinking at the time). To my surprise the event didn't wait for the next day this time, it was happening now, just as I had sat down at the bar. I watched the mayor rush past me again and try to stab the same man. I caught on faster this time and stopped him. This time I was ready to fight back properly. To my surprise, the traveler stood up and helped me and my friend, however, the sheer number of the people was too much and they took him down. I was with my friend and while they were jumping the traveler we ran. I'm sorry, I knew we couldn't win, so we ran. I'm sorry. Eventually, the mayor catches up to us and we have a little scuffle, I throw a pizza box clumsily at his face as I scramble to put anything between me and the two knives. Eventually, I make it outside the tavern however the scenery is different. Now I'm in the driveway of a house inside a large neighborhood. The neighborhood was upper-class with beautiful trees and trimmed hedges. I stopped worrying about the cannibals as I heard voices in the distance shouting at me. I was instantly relieved as I soon saw who was coming, it was simply a gang of teens looking to fight, this put me at ease knowing I wasn't facing a 7-foot man armed with knives and his entire town but instead a gang of teens riding bicycles. For some reason I knew where these kids were from, I recognized their voices, and I knew what school they went to despite them wearing disguises. I walked up to the first guy and drop-kicked his hip which sent him to the ground, I shouted for the others to come fight but they ran away. I shouted back at them saying how I knew who their teacher was and shouted a name back at them (I forget the name). All of a sudden I'm no longer in the driveway but instead lying down staring at a large TV out in the open air. The TV had Wallpaper engine on it with all of my wallpapers, I remember a specific one which was Ornstein from DS1, if you know who that is. Alongside me was no longer my friend, but my youngest sister. She was whispering something in my ear as a song played loudly in the other. I wish I could remember what she was trying to tell me as maybe it was the answer as to why I was having this dream. I woke up shortly after with a depressed and horrified, yet relieved feeling as I realized that dream wasn't reality.
The wallpaper I remember seeing

This was the song I was hearing loudly in my other ear 11:15-11:47 https://youtu.be/rbw_n0LWpfo
The weird thing is I haven't listened to this song in about a year. I dont know why I was hearing it so vividly.
I guess I made this post because I just want to know why I'm having these dreams. I have a few guesses but I'm curious what you guys might have to say.

Let me paint a lovely picture for you.
I’ve just finished my first year of college, & have returned from my beautiful, lively college town back to the middle of nowhere, totally landlocked without a car, and all of my friends elsewhere.
In a word, I’m really fucking bored!
Video games & music can only get me so far, and after a year of breaking out of my shell, so to speak, I can’t stand being alone anymore.
I used to consider myself an introvert but now? I crave connection, I need it.
Therefore I’m throwing myself out here for anyone who sympathizes with my situation and would like to be friends! Not that I don’t welcome more than that, my hopes just aren’t very high as I haven’t had much luck in the romance department lately.
I should mention the F4F tag is strict, I am a lesbian. Women and nonbinary individuals only.
A bit about me, my name is Claire & I’m 19! I’m a college student as I mentioned and I just finished my first year.
Lately I’ve been playing the Souls games, I’m rather obsessed so bonus points if you’re into those. Music wise I discovered Modern Baseball recently, and have listened to all of their albums 3+ times already.
I also really love Radiohead! & some lovely gay girl music here & there, like Phoebe Bridgers or Chappell Roan.
It’s hard for me to articulate a lot of what would make you wanna text me, I guess you’ll just have to see for yourself! If I really click with someone I can really get to ranting & you’ll get a pretty good idea of me I think.
If I’ve managed to catch anyone’s attention with this silly little post, shoot me a DM!
I may fall asleep soon after I post this, so if I don’t get to your DM I will tomorrow!:)

I am finally home after a 20 hour day. I boarded the train from Grand Rapids to Chicago on Saturday morning, and boarded the train back this morning (Sunday morning). The outlet in the train didn’t work and so I was unable to charge my phone.
At about 10am Michigan time the train stopped. We hear an announcement that the electricity has been cut off and they have to replace the engine. One of the other passengers had like a panic attack or something and called the police. We were out in the middle of NOWHERE near Buchanan Michigan. One cop pulled up, let the passenger off the train, patted him down and took him away in his car.
Hours later, no power, no air conditioning, no BATHROOMS because they were all backed up and reaking in the heat, people started to get antsy and attempted to get off the train. The train staff did not let them. People started to get angry and things were on the verge of becoming very extreme when more cops finally showed up and made the train staff let whoever wanted to go get off.
Somewhere in the middle of all that there was an announcement that they could not attach a new engine and had to drag the train back to Chicago!! And even more people started to get off the train! I eventually was able to get off right before they took off back toward Chicago. Had to walk two miles to Buchanan and get a ride from there back to Grand Rapids.
In retrospect the train staff really did the best they could, but it didn’t seem like they were following any sort of protocol for that kind of situation. They kept defending their actions with the fear of getting sued, which I thought was very interesting that it came up many times. Very interesting event. Scary to be trapped in an escalating group of strangers but interesting to watch how the passengestaff/police dynamic evolved. I don’t know if I can go to sleep tonight so many things went wrong and so many could have gone very wrong but didn’t.
