Overwatch University Ep 8:
Aid: Just letting everyone know that unfortunately due to timing and planning issues Coach Moon will have to guest star for next week's episode for his winners interview. Anyway we plan to start with going over each team
Topic 1: Is NRG Shock a Collegiate Team?
Aid: This was my first time ever seeing them and honestly I was quite dissapointed
Rush: You were disappointed?
Aid: Yeah it was my first time seeing any of these guys besides Rakattack so I had my hopes up and was very dissapointed. Like don't NRG need NineK to come back at this point.
NineK: Albert is already doing that. He was Mayhems GM. Someone like me can't be there anymore
Rush: This is a pro team? I thought this was a collegiate team.
NineK and Aid: We aren't that sure either.
Rush: When they first came out weren't they called Students?
NineK: There name was just Students of the Game and they did a little performance of them graduating to NRG.
Rush: So they're basically college team then
NineK: I knew Cal Rakattack and I knew of PGE but I didn't know what he played. He's very popular.
Aid: Explain more
NineK: Like the Super and XQC route of popular streamer? So a lot of people really seem to like him
Aid: Looking at his face he looks like he would just be a kid who studies well
NineK: Yeah he's very popular. He's really funny but he seems fucking crazy.
Aid: I watched them and thought oh geez this is NAs 3rd seed level? Like we knew the top 2 were Toronto and M80 with well known names and then you hear the Shock I thought they would be better so I anticipated a lot better than we got. Like Oh this is enough for 3rd?
Rush: You aren't thinking of this to its logical end. You're like "Oh this guy is in the 3rd seed team?" You should be thinking "How awful is NA for this to be the 3rd seed?" You're not thinking properly
Aid: Wow I must have been too positive a person then.
Rush: I think you were too kind
NineK: To be fair a lot of the good guys are in their collegiate programs
Aid: Oh are those going well?
NineK: Yeah they get scholarships and stuff to play for collegiate so they think it's the future so in a way this OWCS stuff seems to be for the younger guys who just want to try being pros so all the guys with experience probably want to try other things instead of trying super hard.
Aid: Well I guess we have to just think of this team as potential for the future they don't have stage experience after all
NineK: I do hope the collegiate system works out. These kids need to experience the real world to some degree and become functional humans. Pro players kinda you know...
NineK: To be fair these Western teams have more to worry about unlike us cause they have Face it League going on after all. But I can't help what would have happened if DAF was there though (the specific DAF that went game 5 versus FTG)
Topic 2: Twisted Minds Thank you for Showing Up on Stage
Aid: There were probably a lot of people excited to see them after all the hype and OWWC win. They had so many issues though so all I could think watching them was being thankful.
NineK: Thankful?
Aid: Like they had to have come knowing they would get destroyed given all the issues they faced like what do you do in their situation? You have no shot but can't just not appear so I was thankful.
Rush: They didn't even practice right?
NineK: I don't think so.
Rush: They're more invested in Face It League games with their current roster anyway.
NineK: I heard their manager played?
Aid: Okay? I kept thinking why is he only playing Torbjorn? But I was told he was the manager and understood why.
NineK: I heard he was at least Top 500.
Rush: Absolutely not. Just watching him a bit there's no way he was top 500.
NineK: Couldn't that just be the level of EU?
Rush: No even accounting for that there's no way. We'll he is bad so he had to pick Torbjorn right? But even then he was bad. Like if he was top 500 he would have actually dealt damage
Aid: I watched them versus Toronto and it was a mess the team was just off rolling like Someone Echo and Sugarfree Doomfist
NineK: Yeah they fucked around and got punished for it later on right?
Aid: they got punishment is Wow
NineK: Was that too much? Either way they shouldn't have stressed regardless. It was a hopeless situation and worrying about it was only gonna provide more stress
Rush: Now that 2 EU teams are guaranteed they're basically a lock foe the world cup though
NineK: I guess NA has to be worried now after this tournament
Topic 3: M80 Whoever is Retiring was the Problem
Aid: Time for one of the two NA teams
NineK: Meta was a big factor for Asia. A lot of people think Asia is just dive one tricks bit we are good at Brawl and Mauga brawl was good
Rush: But the one thing the West is good at is brawl
NineK: There's only a few of those guys left
Rush: Level of play has gone down NineK: Honestly it feels like they've gotten a lot worse
Aid: I felt like Hawk was the problem watching
NineK: I heard a lot about their problems during the event
Aid: How it seemed to me is Hawk can't play Winston right. So teams with off tanks just default lose on a bunch of the dive maps right. But Mauga didn't work for him Sigma didn't work for him and Dva didn't work either
NineK: Did you see Gators tweet? Basically paraphrased talking about how frustrating it is that you're forced to play players who want to retire/leave. I heard things weren't too smooth so people wanted to leave or retire from the team and because the points are attached to players the players couldn't leave and made it hard to practice. They were just forced to do this. Though it did seem right at the end they tried their best. This system was supposed to protect players but the bad side of it got revealed
Rush: I don't get it. It's a special spot and event it's that players fault then. Like if you have to play only until this event ends do your best and leave cleanly afterwards. Just quitting cause you're leaving like this isn't how the real world works. I think it's the player leavings work ethic at fault. Like if you don't wanna do something and it only harms you that's one thing. But you're just making it worse for everyone around you
Aid: Yeah if you have that hanging over your heads it has to be tough
NineK: Once Again I don't have all the details but they definitely had issues outside the game
Topic 4: Defiant Stage Fright?
Aid: Time for NA seed 1. I was very excited for Vega and was curious to see how well Sugarfree would do given his reputation
NineK: I mean he played last year and was good
Aid: They got destroyed by Crazy Raccoons right? But that was expected and I thought they played okay there. But when they played Ence i felt they played way worse. It made me think that maybe they were just this bad and maybe had a game of a lifetime against CR. Like Ence isn't that good either right? They're just carried by Kai Kevster. What did you think Rush?
Rush: Yeah I did. I always said I thought Toronto wasn't that good. Like I never thought they would compete with top korean teams. They're always just so-so
Aid: But then they lost to Europe
Rush: That did Shock me
NineK: Maybe they were just tired out from getting whooped in winners side.
Aid: CR boomed them?
NineK: From what I know they did okay in scrims. I heard they never used the IEMs and couldn't get used to it or something. Like they were caught off guard with the new system and then got whooped and started second guessing themselves. It seems like Vega either underperformed on stage or gets anxiety.
Rush: Did they not use IEMs in scrims? Didn't the other teams all know this?
NineK: I guess they didn't have friends to tell them?
Rush: But weren't people posting about the earphones? Couldn't they have logically concluded this would happen then?
NineK: Guess Casores messed up then
Aid: At least against CR I felt like they moved properly as a team but against Ence they just kept falling over.
Rush: Maybe the team was just used to punching down for so long.
Aid: I looked at their expressions after the game versus Ence and they were completely just out of it.
NineK: I saw a bunch of them after the game and they were really mentally hurt by it
Rush: Like this was possible for M80 but this roster definitely would get more boomed by the loss. Cause they thought for realy that they were the best
NineK: They even have 3 past winners
Rush: But you have to know the jinx of winning and then flopping a bit your next year
NineK: True. People need to get brought back to Earth after winning. I wanted to tell them you think you're the only super team to fail there are way worse examples out there but I didn't want to sound like a grumpy boomer about it.
Rush: Either way this is basically mid-season
NineK: But isn't it cause they're HERE that they're so boomed like even flopping they expected better than this probably.
Aid: If they did well in scrims no wonder they're sad
NineK: Not performing on stage can't be a consistent issue for them though that'd be bad. That's one of the disadvantage of the West compared to Asia right? Asia has had LANs so far. Honestly I feel if you win online it doesn't count.
Aid: If it was online Genesis would be the best.
Rush: Decay at home is unbeatable
Aid: Decay at home would destroy all of these teams.
Rush: Alright next NA team
Aid: There isn't anymore NA teams
Rush: Already? But there's 3 teams
Aid: You forgot about NRG
NineK: We're 30 minutes in to the podcast and done with NA what a tragedy
Topic 5: Ence, Korea is Better at Overwatch. West have better Livers.
Aid: I fell for Ence after this tournament
Rush: I always liked Ence
NineK: That much?
Aid: Their DPS leave me awestruck but their tanks and supports make me genuinely angry it's so hot and cold I'm getting dizzy
NineK: They're push and pull is really good with your emotions
Aid: Like you watch them and randomly keep feeling "Holy shit that's how you fucking do it!" Then they got you for life. Like watching them on one hand you think no wonder people rate Kai Kevster so well, but on the other hand you think Kai and kevster are this good how on Earth are they losing.
Rush: In EU they're the fun team to watch. Just watching DPS carry is fun afterall
NineK: Ghost was...
Rush: That players still very young you have to give him time. This team if you had Masaa of 2 to 3 years ago they would win way more. His mechanics aren't up to snuff anymore
NineK: I saw him die in the Falcons game and thought to myself " a pro actually thought to play like this?" Like you stand still and you provide value why are you
Aid: This meta was tough for main supports though. The thing that pissed me off is the supports I think never swapped off BapLucio the entire time. They played that comp on Gibraltr like they were on AnaBrig and their team kept dying getting no heals
NineK: It's cause that's what they're good at if they listened to you and tried Brig Ana they would've gone back to Europe early
Aid: The only thing I remember is they lost with that shit comp and Kevsters on cam was just laughing his evil laugh like "Sure who cares that map loss was a given anyways"
NineK: Feels to me like Europe has the most one tricks
Aid: More than US?
NineK: They're all just do things my way players
Rush: Europe is hilarious didn't they ona brodcast (Uncoachable) say Asia never switches characters so Korea had to be below their level while all their guys just play one hero and never swap?
NineK: They're saying that cause they're jealous of the better region.
Aid: Didn't someone say Korea swaps way too often and spread themselves thin
Rush: No this is before that they said Koreans never counter and always just run one comp.
Aid: They're probably happy they did their one thing and beat Toronto
Rush: Yeah the Europeans just wanna beat America
Aid: Yeah they probably came expecting to lose to Korea
Rush: Nah they probably did
NineK: I think they didn't cause I was drinking with some of these guys at like 2AM
Rush: Westerners love that though they'll be drinking the night before a competition and then be fine like they're built different.
NineK: They have better livers.
Aid: They're pre-qualified for EWC now so they got everything they needed.
NineK: There are no main supports
Rush: Korea doesn't have any either
Topic 6: SSG lost because of Christfer-Rush (I know they're rivals now this is banter lol)
Aid: They're the best from Europe but I'm not sure if they really showed the power of Europe or anything. All I felt watching them was Landons power. Also Seicoe was a lot better than I thought he would be. I didn't really rate him when I saw him in the league.
Rush: Landon is so good. Like I've been praising him for so long and everyone just cheers for Hadi
NineK: Hadi is very popular
Rush: He does give a performance to his play
NineK: Astro is still good at his teamplay
Aid: The best thing about Landon is a I saw him get attacked by DPS and his play was like "cmon try to fight me" and he would duel the dps while still healing.
NineK: But he got so beat down on by Raccoons.
Aid: That was different though. That team is usually just Raccoons but against SSG they were acting like actual Crazy Raccoons. Like the anger in their play
NineK: It felt like Landons monitor might as well have been off with how often he was dead like every ten seconds it felt like he died
Aid: (Chat asks about his roster) Landon has a worlds best Bap and an average Kiriko
Rush: He doesn't need it given his teams style.
Aid: Backbone is their Symmetra guy right? But it felt bad cause now you see Cass and Pharah just destroying Symmetra so you knew he wouldn't come out anymore like this was not his meta
NineK: The team feels more threatening with Backbone in but then you would have to replace Seicoe who is really good
Aid: If Backbone could only get a good Tracer the team would be so much better
NineK: Do Korean fans know this? Seicoe is in the army right now. I think there was some situation where if they had gotten to the Finals then he mightve been fucked cause he needed to catch a flight back.
Aid: I had no idea
Rush: Isn't he just becoming a soldier? Like leaving now for it?
NineK: Not sure. I just heard about it with like Avrls group bringing up he was so good while being a soldier
Rush: I've had a soldier in my teams before
NineK: The one dissapointment for me was their map selection. I didn't get it
Aid: Like they didn't pick maps to their strengths properly?
Rush: Then Christfer was the one at fault
NineK: I guess he was. Like I don't get why they chose Havana I don't think they did well on that map in scrims either
Aid: Maybe they literally only picked it for the Rein?
NineK: I felt they weren't used to the map pick system and that threw them for a loop or something. Also I noticed Hadi had a LOT of fans
Aid: I get it though. I'll sometimes watch their games and have a "fuck yeah let's go Hadi" moment too
NineK: But when you watch them it never does feel like it's one guy doing all the work they all work together well
Topic 7: Falcons
Aid: They were losing a bit in the middle swapped strategies and won right? I thought Wow these guys prepared hard and can really do this. Because at the end of the first game it definitely didn't feel like CR had found a solution yet. My first thought when CR lost was that all the staff probably didn't care at all about the SSG game and were just figuring out how to break the Mauga Genji Venture comp. They did play genuinely very well and I could feel how hard they worked this time.
Rush: I feel like CR just wanted to give Falcons some hope. Honestly watching the winners side I thought CR should win easily but they dropped the ball. Also chatters Raccoons absolutely were not hiding strats for the grand finals that's utterly ridiculous. They just got caught off guard and Falcons played well so the game went weird
Aid: Their initial thing was trying to melt Lip and had to swap to melting Junbin when the supports kept hard pocketing Lip. I thought if this went like OWCS Korea and Junbin took too long to adjust Falcons could've won
NineK: I felt Crazy Raccoons prepared very well. It didn't feel like Falcons lost cause their level of play was worse but just little things here and there got in the way. But CR pulling out Hog and stuff was interesting.
Rush: The Hog stuff they got from us
NineK: Yeah I know lol. From what I know Falcons has seen all of those picks before but probably didn't expect it to pop out when it did and caught them off guard. Though the only criticism of their play I can bring is their ability to hold the point in OverTime. They don't hold it as well
Aid: True end of Map 1 CR should NOT have won
NineK: Yeah that stickiness on point Falcons is worse. Like the little decisions that contribute on the outside of our minds to winning CR is better. I don't think they were mechanically outplayed outside of against the Hog that map. The last control point they threw away though.
Aid: Yeah letting it get to the point where CR could clutch was the issue
NineK: I actually remember in some interview Lip said his teams strength was to juggle the point very well. Like Wow these guys think about everything. Like when they were Shanghai I have a clip of them just perfectly lined up to touch in OT perfectly. Obviously it isn't Falcons don't care about that stuff, but in a battle of two super teams with amazing mechanics it can only be the little things that swing it one way or the other
Aid: Little things definitely can do it
NineK: I would love to see Over Time clutch statistics
Aid: I felt Stalker was very impressive on the Venture. Nobody knew how this hero was played and he did so well.
NineK: I don't get why they couldn't play on the live patch though
Rush: Aren't they separate servers so if the live blows up you can separately have this? I asked you day 1 if it would be on 0 ping right? I guess I predicted something might go wrong
NineK: I just never know what their standards are for what decisions they make or who makes them
Topic 8: Crazy Raccoons
Aid: Watching this game you learned why they're the best.
Rush: Please put Max in they don't use him enough you're gonna win anyways
NineK: It's not like they didn't even play him
Aid: Impactful things for me was Heessang. Heessang was just so good at the game. Tracer, Echo, Venture, Pharah, or Genji he literally didn't lose in any DPS mirror. It was such a strength for them. Like he just always wins the trade and flexes so well to let Lip play his comfort picks. Junbin got MVp but my pick was definitely Hessang
Rush: I keep thinking he should've been this good last year. I thought he was a guaranteed Rookie of the Year. Literally since I first saw him I thought he would be Rookie of the Year
NineK: We had a lot of issues.
Aid: Shock 2023 didn't exist guy
NineK: Don't ask anyone related none of us will want to talk about it. But I felt they showed us a lot of heroes, Lip and Shu are just always good but I really enjoyed Junbin recently. I didn't notice the main supports though
Aid: This meta in particular is really tough for main supports
NineK: Just so much to look at if you're a main support and process
Chat: What is Masaa looking at?
NineK: His deaths in the kill feed
Aid: They lost in the winners side but won in the end right? Chorong played off in my opinion there. His Timings felt slightly off and then better in grand finals.
NineK: Honestly it almost feels like main support can only be as good as the team.
Rush: I'm coaching again and I've noticed there's so much for Lucio to worry about right now. Like you're half a millisecond late and your team blows up
Aid: I mentioned it cause he's usually so flawless.
Rush: That's just the meta. In Orisa meta you just sit around.
NineK: Yeah the Mauga E key is weird. It feels like no one ever knows when it's on so it's so hard to account for. Like when hitscan is meta they just deal consistent damage but now with double flexdps it's even harder to do risk assessment
NineK: This meta was fun as a viewer
Aid: The DPS battles of this meta were very fun
Topic 9: Korea > EU > NA. Uncoachable>PlatChat?
NineK: It shouldn't be sk clear but it's so clear
Aid: I was so ready to see the NA and EU rivalry explode here
NineK: Come to think of it there are Koreans on all the NA teams and none on the European teams
Aid: And yet they still lost with Koreans
NineK: You sound racist lol
Aid: I mean they have former OWL GOATs and are losing
Rush: Honestly isn't it crazy to think how bad North America is even with Korea supplementing their talent. Isn't NA terrible then?
Aid: No if that were the case the Koreans would have been carrying their rosters as hard as Kai and Kevster did theirs.
Rush: Didn't they all have a member or two that played very well
Aid: What did you think of the meta read differences? It felt like NA didn't practice enough or something.
Rush: Didn't you say you thought NA > EU
Aid: I did feel that way at the time
Rush: I told you they only looked strong cause they were punching down on terrible competition
Aid: Maybe Europe gets better on LAN?
Rush: That's why those guys said they were better than us right? (Uncoachable) They play the game with better strats than us or something
NineK: No let's just say they heard our criticisms of NA and EU and they listened to us unlike NA so they improved to win.
Aid: Ahh they listened to Overwatch University to win. Of course you need to watch us.
Rush: You know what? I think Plat Chat doesn't read about us right? But Uncoachable definitely seems to and that's why EU beat NA. That's the difference.
Aid: True we are 3 people just speaking truths
Rush: Put Respect on Commander X
Aid: Korea EU union
Rush: NA needs to watch us too.
Aid: NA teams need to watch us more
NineK: (watching VOD of Ence vs Toronto) wow Kai Kevster really are good
Aid: Merit switched to Sojourn here off Cassidy probably cause he was annoyed things weren't working out.
Rush: Well the enemy has Sig he needs to swap to Sojourn
NineK: Why don't they just play monkey I to Ences comp?
Aid: That's what I mean by them not being prepared
NineK: I'm curious. I heard Sugarfree and Vega got roasted. Why?
Aid: I didn't understand Sugarfree but Vega made a lot of mistakes
NineK: Isn't it just cause the other 3 won Overwatch League last season so people are only attacking the other 2? Like we're those 2 particularly worse enough to be worth this roasting?
Aid: No it just looked like the team was a mess. They lost all their ult fights.
Rush: Main supports always look bad on the losing teams.
(They just watch Defiant lose every ult fight and get confused for a bit)
Aid: Kai Kevster were better than Merit Sugarfree too
NineK: (keeps watching the VOD) How on Earth did they lose this fight now? Did Rupal just not heal properly or something.
NineK: The way I see it the Western players just suck at using Suzu. (Keeps watching the VOD) I don't get it they should've won there
Aid: Ahh so Vega wasn't at fault it was Rupal
NineK: I actually think he might be the one at fault at least right here in the VOD
Rush: (smiling) If you insult Rupal he's gonna go off and get angry on the Internet again
NineK: I remember he got so mad at you
Rush: It's not like I even roasted him directly
NineK: We drank so much during that I can't remember
Rush: I said some stuff about Sugarfree and he got so mad
NineK: Coach what are you gonna do if Sugarfree retires cause of us?
Rush: Uncoachable was right about the situation though they said they didn't get why Rupal was getting so angry over banter
NineK: But their target selection and everything seems so off the micro is completely off
Aid: Toronto didn't prepare Mauga right?
Rush: You can definitely tell they're boomed cause usually when their opponents pull out Sigma comps they go Rein to counter
NineK: I asked a bit about why they didn't play Rein into the Sigma. Someone usually wins tank fights off counterpixking so I was confused
Rush: Why didn't he do that then. He got smacked up by Mauga and wanted to try it
Aid: Feels like they just in the moment just tried to copy what they thought was good
NineK: Looking at the VOD I think Someone just can't play Mauga. But the thing was everyone had a different meta read because nothing seemed extremely overtly broken. That's probably why the Western teams thought Korea was beatable. It genuinely probably seemed doable in scrims.
Aid: Then it's that. Europe was confident they were right about their meta read while NA folded and thought "maybe we were wrong?"
NineK: Haha it could be
Aid: Europe was like "what are you on about? What we say is meta is correct" and ran it down with their Sigma Ramatrra comps while NA was like "Oh maybe Korea was right about this?"
Rush: Europe was a bit smarter than NA. They knew they couldn't beat the Korean comps bit were like "wait we can still beat these guys in NA with our comps" looks even against M80 they're using the Ram comps we know aren't meta. Cause they're smart enough to realize even if they have the wrong meta read it's still enough to beat NA. NA was like "Oh wow those Mauga comps seem good let's try to figure out how to play it"
NineK and Aid: So they tried copying and failed
Rush: Honestly if you aren't going to win anyway because of the wrong meta read playing like EU did will likely get you further
NineK: That makes sense. You placed higher, you got the right to shit talk, you made more money, and you got more slots for EWC.
NineK: I talked to Christfer and he made me laugh so much. I was with Junkbuck and Crusty after Falcons beat SSG right. He said they found out how to beat the Mauga comp in theory but had no idea how to beat the dive. I was like "Then you can't win" haha there's no point
Aid: True
NineK: (Still laughing) In the end the funniest thing was Falcons lost to that dive too
Topic 10: SSG vs Crazy Raccoons
Aid: So EU slayed America and had to fight Korea.
NineK: I still genuinely don't understand the Havana pick even now. Cause you can even pick whether you attack or defend first wouldn't you wanna defend first?
Rush: Some teams like to attack first
NineK: But when you're in a predicament and losing wouldn't you want to start on defense?
Rush: They wanted to roll them to destroy CRs mentals
NineK: But it seemed like the only mentals that got destroyed on Havana was theirs.
Rush: Maybe this was their "ahh we figured out how to beat the Mauga comp" attempt?
NineK: I kinda wanted to ask after they lost but I didn't. Like maybe if they got to stage a team fight properly at all it might have worked?
Rush: I'll say as someone whose tried the Rein can't beat Mauga comps the Rein can't leave spawn.
NineK: The thing is Mauga has just replaced Junker Queen in brawl comps like this cause his skills are too good in a competitive team work setting
Chat: Mentioning Funnyastro roasted for performance
NineK: But the thing is there is nothing the Lucio can do in this meta. Like main support is always hard in OW2 but now it's way harder
Aid: Like you wanna avoid the Mauga stomp? You go on the walls. You go on the walls? The Cassidy 2 taps you.
Rush: Okay but if a Mauga stomps you that's your fault.
Aid: It's really tough for main supports even Masaa never mind he died to Stalk3r by wall riding in front of him
NineK: It's so easy to Ajax right now for them too
Aid: So this tournament showed EU was really behind Korea why do you think that is?
NineK: Tempo?
Rush: Practice partners? People said "CR could only practice against Once Again so they should be bad" but maybe Europe couldn't practice against us is why they they were worse
Aid: I think map selection helped as well
NineK: True they don't have this system in FaceIt League
Aid: Yeah if they were a bit better with those picks wouldn't they have been a bit better
NineK: I wish there were more map and mode diversity choices allowed. Like when CR loses they'll pick Suravasa and when Falcons lose they'll pick Junk City
Rush: Yeah but won't western teams just pick all the direct flat maps
NineK: I just wish like if there's a team good at payload maps they wouldn't only get 1 payload map every 5 games
Rush: I wish they would fix Flashpoint though. The point goes away so quickly you have to play Lucio
NineK: I did feel really bad for the main supports these days. It's probably really fun for DPS. But they felt bad for tanks and finally buffed them.
Topic 11: SSG vs Ence (Aids Choice)
Aid: I saw the Ence vs SSG game as something I wanted to really highlight here. Ence lost but I thought "Yeah these guys were OWL players for sure" Ence brought defensive Mei against the SSG Rein comp
NineK: How did they lose Midtown though
Rush: It was losable since they had a Tracer there
NineK: If Backbone was in 3-0?
Aid and Rush: Absolutely
Rush: There's nothing for Tracer to do here
Aid: Kevster was Mei here and really good. Like what can't this man do?
Rush: What can't he do? Win.
NineK: He's won before
Rush: Wait you're right he has won a few times actually wait he's won quite a bit
Aid: I just felt like at least in this map Ence played so well
NineK: Kevster comms have gotten really good
Aid: I was watching and felt when Kai and Kevster are going they're really good
Topic 12: SSG vs Falcons (NineKs Choice)
NineK: I loved the strategies Falcons used in Circuit Royale. They knew the Rein would probably come out so they used Pharah with the Lifeweaver
NineK: Go to the clip where Hadi shattered the team near point b. The crowd was genuinely so loud during that moment. I got chills from the moment and realized how popular Hadi was. It was also after this game that the crowd really started getting involved and cheering for players whenever they did a sick play. Like when other teams did well the crowd would cheer so hard for them the venue started to shake. The stage was so well made too.
Aid: This map pick also confused me
NineK: I didn't think it was too bad. Isn't this just the Rush classic of playing with a Lucio to get as many fights as possible
Rush: Yeah but the Rein comp is all these guys always do anyways. I did this cause you take 3 fights and defend on the 3rd with ults. But you can't defend against the Mauga with this comp.
Aid: That's why Hadi swapped immediately
NineK: Maybe they just thought Hanbin would run out on the Sigma
Rush: If it was the first day of the event that would make sense to not know they would run out the Mauga
NineK: It was day 2. Landon is really good but Hadi had that star quality right now. I think that's very important.
Aid: Man the Genji was so clean I love watching Genji never boring.
NineK: Genji is fun
Rush: If Genji does this stuff a lot (lots of blade kills) he gets nerfed real soon after
NineK: Seriously Genji pops up on a stream and next week you see "We found Genji too strong so we nerfed him"
Aid: Genji is hard to solo queue with you definitely need a team around him.
NineK: Genjis pointless without a real team. Cassidy I personally like but find way too OP
Rush: It's just his HP it's too high why is it him at 275
Aid: I did some content with Venture recently and
NineK: What rank?
Aid: Diamond
NineK: Hahaha
Aid: You disrespecting diamonds? My viewers were wondering just how far I'd climb. I'm basically doing and Unranked to Diamond. Please be aware chat I'm not a smurf that's just the level I'm at.
Topic 12: Falcons vs CR Gibraltr
Aid: I was going mad seeing this map
NineK: Absolutely a failure from the coaches
Aid: So they managed to defend okay on Defense right? And the entire round felt like 2 teams just hard out mechanicing each other and I thought they would do the same thing on offense. Then suddenly they ran out the Mauga comp.
Rush: They did really well and then got goofy
Aid: I felt the same
Rush: I just didn't understand what they were trying to do. Was it yo come to point we will fight you head on or yo you stay there we will go catch you
Aid: I feel like it was the former
NineK: If that's the case they needed a Cassidy
Aid: Also NineK you mentioned CR were very good at juggling the point right? In Gibraltr it was the Winston touching point and then when he jumped out the Tracer did it next they did that so well they melted the time away.
NineK: I feel like that shouldn't be possible given the comp they were playing into so I guess the DPS just missed the timing to contest properly
Rush: So Falcons Tracer messed up then
NineK: The Tracer and Venture both messed up.
Rush: Did the Tracer get pressured out by Lip?
NineK: I think they just played poorly but either way this is the fault of the coaches
Aid: This map hurt my heart
Rush: They missed their opportunity by letting the dive get to their ults
NineK: What was the next map?
Rush: I think they won the next one.
Aid: I just thought since they defended so well that they would keep that Tempo and keep it going on offense
NineK: It just feels so extra bad cause they worked so long to get that one Mauga ult and lost anyways I don't think it's wrong they tried this comp out. Just that they stayed on it too long.
Aid: My chat kept asking why they never swapped
NineK: But the thing is once they failed to get through and the enemy got their ults it was over. It was a coaching failure. The Oasis game too. The dogfight at the end.
Aid: Oh that one was crazy too
Rush: I didn't see it
Aid: It started here I'll play the clip. The ult cycle definitely favored Falcons.
Rush: Neither team had much
Aid: But Falcons had window blade and wakiki coming up.
Rush: CR died late too. The Tracers gonna have to touch the point.
(Watches clip further)
Rush: This was Fielders mistake
Aid: He should've saved Smurf so he could use his wakiki
Rush: No he wasted his window just now they just all went right. Then it was over when the kiriko ult came out
NineK: Wow they really got no window value
Rush: They all just ran to the right
NineK: Honestly just watching it at the event and seeing it again now this was a Falcons error. Like yes they got no value off the window but they were also very indecisive in how to deal with the enemy Venture pulling out. I said this earlier too and yeah they threw Gibraltr but it started here. Those little moments where they absolutely should win they lost.
Aid: We plan to stop here today. Next time we will have Coach Moon over to interview
NineK: We are actually kind of backed up with guests.
Aid: Yeah we just keep asking people and then randomly delaying them.
Topic 14: Random Short Q&A
Chat: Is it hard to get player guests?
Aid: No it's very doable
(Donation about NineK)
Aid: Thank you for the donation and compliments to NineK
NineK: The hardest part about interviewing the players you should know
Aid: They can't talk properly
NineK: It won't be that different from the 3 of us talking.
Aid: If it's a fun guy who can banter with us there wouldn't be any issues
NineK: Also players low key have a bit of awkwardness being with coaches. Like being a student under a teacher at school. Yes chat Smurf is one of our pushed back guests
Aid: We have a Spark question. Do you have a sponsor?
Rush: I already answered.
NineK: What do we think of the Proper retirement thoughts? That's just normal for players who lose in those situations. It's very hard and I do feel bad for pros in that situation. Coaches staff and players need to cheer him up.
Chat: Meta read failures?
NineK: I mean who would this apply to? They all just did whatever they wanted
Rush: Let's just say it was NA
Aid: They were last place so it wasn't NAs meta
NineK: Rather than a meta read failure. They liked the other kids lunch and tried to steal it but failed
Rush: They took the lunch and then got indigestion
Chat: Was the coach gap very big?
Aid: It was unavoidable to say it didn't have an effect
NineK: It probably did take too long for them to get used to it in the West. Either way the map pool for push and flash point are too small. The first map being random was weird
Aid: Yeah I was watching thinking top seed got to choose but didn't get that feeling at all watching
NineK: Funny and Masaas ability?
Aid: They're aggressive Lucio but in this meta you get nothing for being aggressive
NineK: Vega is aggressive too. Lucio is useful for his AOE heals

IGS Rep Page: https://www.reddit.com/IGSRep/comments/ti26nz/mizznos_igs_rep_page/

I feel like the pig miraculous is a very under appreciated and under used miraculous. Is the weapon, a tambourine, shoddy? Yes. Does Rose as Pigella look nothing like a pig? Yes. I know in episodes such as Jubilation and Collusion it’s used in a negative way when the now deceased Monarch transferred Daizzi’s power to his akumatized victims in both episodes, however I think differently to it.
As seen in its debut episode, GUILTRIP Rose is given the anklet after displaying her intense and unfaltering positivity towards the title heroes saving the re-akumatized and amokitized Juleka from her guilt. After transforming, Rose, now Pigella, goes up to her akumatized girlfriend, who is beating herself up by repeating the phrase “because of me, everyone feels guilty. Rose, Marinette, Ivan, Mylene. Because of me everyone feels guilty” and Pigella uses gift on Juleka and reveals her greatest desire for Juleka’s classmates to treat Rose as normal human being before finding out about her illness and what happened to Juleka when she sees her heart’s greatest desire? Juleka’s guilt disappears and Juleka becomes soothed by what she wanted and looking at Reflekta’s facial expressions, she forms a happy, relaxed smile and is freed from the purple balls surrounding her.
Later on in the start of Kurt Neko, only for a few scenes while Adrian is depressingly watching the news, we can see Pigella working along side Ladybug, Pegasus, Vesperia (#justiceforqueenbee) and Carapace to quickly de-akumatize a tantruming akumatized August, after Pegasus uses voyage Pigella immediately uses gift on the akumatized August which calms him from his tantrum and he exclaims “mama!” And once paralysed by venom, we can see for a few frames before Ladybug goes into view, August is seen smiling briefly.
I completely understand why the pig miraculous got/gets a lot of hatred for having a “weak” power and Pigella looking remotely nothing to an actual pig. I feel like in both GUILTRIP and Kuro Neko it’s a rather soothing miraculous and I want to see in future seasons that the pig miraculous is used in more versatile ways when used in good hands. I also know after seeing Jubilation a lot of people had changed their tune about it when it was used to incapacitate the heroes. I’m also gonna keep saying it: JOY 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 FREAKING 👏🏻 LIFE! 👏🏻👏🏻

Perhaps in the future I’ll expand on this via a full-on story, but think of the typical exchange program. The Krev bring an entirely new dynamic of not reacting to everything we do as predatory, but finding cuteness in literally the tiniest actions and movements. The ark colonists might not know what to make of it, after living in secrecy and hating xenos for decades…and with how the Krev oppressed them for an equal amount of years. It might give them whiplash. Think of everything that could generate a reaction.
A human playing with their hair because they’re bored, or tapping their foot because they can’t sit still.
A human sleeping at the first day of the meeting, snuggling under the blankets. Snoring, or tossing and turning. We’re cute and fidgety to the Krev in both these too. That’s without even mentioning pillow fights: what an adorable use for those violent primate tendencies!
The way the handles on a teacup are perfect to crook a little finger in. Humans getting milk mustaches, or just generally loving messy food—sometimes winding up with that caked on our hands or even staining a shirt.
How kids love holding on to stuffed animals just because they’re cute and cuddly—exactly what the Krev see in us. Much cuter than obors toys, which serve outright entertainment purposes. Seeing how curious children are, how they want to eat or pick up everything in sight.
The list of all the things a Krev would have their heart melt over are quite expansive, and it makes for a very different exchange program: the ark humans won’t be walking on eggshells. In fact, I think active attempts to be scary could wind up backfiring!

It’s insane. I type this as I know you’ll never read it - yet there’s so much to say, so I hope at least this may be the listener I need.
When I did something wrong, I wanted you to communicate. To tell me if I did something wrong and what it is that I did wrong. Not so you could baby me, but so I could treat you right. If I were to hurt your feelings, I wanted it to be known because I would tell you when you hurt mine. If I wasn’t meeting your needs, desires, or even your wants - you should’ve told me early on. I fell in love with the man that you showed me in the beginning. Even if you were no longer the same man by the end of it, I learned to love him as well just the same or even more - I loved you even when you felt broken or felt lost, down or any negativity that you felt. Even now that I’ve realized I can no longer trust you, I also realize that I cannot stop loving you. After breaking up I have realized that you indeed did not deserve me, yet I was and am under the illusion that I deserve you. I gave you so much of me, as much as I possibly could give at the distance that you kept me at and invested my time and energy - it doesn’t seem fair that I had to walk away with nothing and you left unscathed.
I had known for a bit that I had to leave. I would cry instead of laugh and smile. I was fighting for a relationship that wasn’t fighting for me to stay. I felt more hurt than the peace that you had promised me. I let you and gave you the right to destroy me just out of love yet it wasn’t enough. It’s best to love you at a distance yet the pain is unbearable, and I know it’s not the same pain you feel - if you feel any. I begged for the bare minimum from you and your human decency but you couldn’t give it to me. I didn’t want gifts or anything, you were enough for me. I found and caught myself begging for a response, time together, kindness. If you had really loved me I wouldn’t have had to ask for even affection and love itself. I was living the life of a military wife without even having a husband. You’re the type of man that would move the earth just for a woman he loves and that’s obvious - and I wasn’t that woman for you. While being with you I disrespected myself as I treated you with the love I expected in return - yet I always said I only gave what I was given. You understand the wrong you do but find comfort in it, making your own bed but don’t realize that it only fits you. You worried and felt guilty but it wasn’t enough worry and guilt to push yourself for me as I did for you. I begged you for weeks but all it took was for someone else one day to snap you out of it. I guess I can’t blame you since I lied as well. I lied when I said I wasn’t disappointed in you. I am and I was. I was so disappointed in you that I just forgave you without even thinking about it anymore. I stayed in the relationship because I loved you, and I still do sadly. Regardless of doing so, love wasn’t all I needed. I needed your respect, your time, I needed us to make each other happy. The reassurance and to know that I was still dating someone I could call my best friend. You were no longer talking to me, you were just replying. You taught me a lot but you were the harshest lesson to learn. I could’ve gone my life without being taught in such a manner if im being honest. By the end you were giving me so little to love about you yet I made it work. That alone was or should’ve been enough to show you what type of woman you were with. I’ve seen the busiest of people make time for others. I saw bad communicators learn for their lovers. Bad texters to who claimed to never answer, answering in 30 seconds or less. People who weren’t ready for relationships ease their way in to it. I saw myself pull my weight in depression and out of the wants and needs of isolation for you.
A thing I had never done for anyone - not even for my own mother. Yet you couldn’t do it for me. Now im tired of decoding your past actions and how you felt about me - done saying all of those excuses to cover for you. If you can act like you don’t care, then you simply don’t care. I no longer have time to play guessing games regarding how someone feels about me or if they even see me in their future. I wish you would’ve respected me enough to have told me that you weren’t ready to even begin with so I could have at the very least made an informed decision. I can’t afford any more situations that people put me in to bring out the worst in me. The me that worked through her day as she sobbed and wondered with God what it is that she did wrong for you to behave in such ways. I became exhausted mentally and emotionally - you drained me completely of who I was. It hurts me to have lost you but it also hurts more to know that I lost myself and that I will never get that version of me ever again. I held on to you so much that I forgot to hold on to myself, by the time I had realized I had already floated away out of reach. Your last message was a promise. A promise to talk once more and to not let the conversation die. That’s exactly what you did in the end though - leaving me hanging by a thread on to the idea of what that conversation should have been. No matter how much you ignore me or wish to ignore me for the time being, we both know it wasn’t supposed to end this way. I wasn’t supposed to get so hurt to the point I could no longer eat, sleep or function without tears rolling down my eyes at the mere mention of your name. I’m a believer in right person wrong time. Two people who need to fall apart only to realize how much they need to fall back together. It’s not that I want to fix something that’s broken, but instead of starting over and creating something better as this time it’s done right. From the very beginning we both were clear about our priorities - you were your own priority and I was mine. There seemed to be a difference at some point, sort of like a switch being flipped. You placed me as your top priority, and to reciprocate and show you my love I did the same. In the end I no longer felt like your priority at all - it seems that the single moment you did make me it was a simply fluke. You need to heal first so you can stop accidentally hurting people you want to love. You show them your wounds and they believe that you’re allowing them in. Don’t give them the wrong idea.
Even when all is said and done I could never regret my time with you. I acknowledge that during the highs I had a good time and amazing experience, even if you made it impossible to get out of the lows. I’ll accept that this can also be due to perception. Whereas I may say you hurt me, you see this all as being true to yourself and protecting your heart in a way. That was your decision to make - but just because it was yours to make, it doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt me. You’re a beautiful person, but you didn’t allow me to show you that side of yours. I hope you find the woman that you are looking for one day - the one that makes you feel safe enough.

I did a partial write up of things that I have been struggling with and want to determine if these indicators are relative to Autoimmune encephalitis:
Indicators of my experience (body section) ･Seperation anxiety -touching an item you would spend time doing with them would cause nightmares and hallucinations -intense and uncontrollable grief (travel in their direction by car and you think of them and eventually have more nightmares) -headaches every time you would revert to past behavior. ･feeling like your heart is turning itself inside out. Unwelcome intense orgasms that last for hours if not days. ･Physically looking at an image of the person/person you associated them with and having an uncomfortable physical reaction. (brain section) ･brain fog ･ruminating and intrusive thoughts -their name is the only thing that's on your mind for what seems like ages. Constantly cycling through your head on repeat. IT's a battle just to think of other things. You have to scream in private saying they are not another person. ･intense and uncontrollable anger when attempting to send a message explaining the situation, almost like your brain has seized and you take the anger out on others in their place. -if you touch anything they gave you, your brain beats like a human heart. ･Active stimulation of organs in your brain such as the amygdala. ･Having the sensation of "tasting" your brain. ･feeling like your brain is turning itself inside out. (episode section) ･difficulty remembering before the episode and having a few different recollections as to what happened. ･Having difficulty regulating your emotions and speech during the episode, almost as if you were possessed by someone at the time and you were having a bar fight for your own body. ･Every time you brake no contact, you have an intense urge to try and contact them afterwards.
･I had this really strong image develop in my brain of a very significant memory from a point when I was younger before I had my episode. ･memories of things I had forgotten, like conversations and adversities also came to the forefront of my mind. ･I have been battling unending congestion for over 800 days now. -the congestion is yellow and has come out in chunks. ･at one point it felt like my brain was cooking in my head, the period was very intense. ･I get a weird type of dyslexia when it comes to my thinking. I'll read something and my brain will see one thing but I'll remember another if that makes sense. Like I'll see it say apartment 1 but I'll think afterwards that it's apartment #5. ･I've lost the ability to spell basic easy words in the past. ･It felt like the right half of my brain was swirling in the shape of a vortex, almost like a storm cloud from a hurricane.
It also feels like whenever I'm exposed to whatever stimulates this whole situation/episode. I place myself back into the "driver seat".

My fellow brothers and sisters, may the peace of Christ be with you all.
I have been seeing in this subreddit a great deal of confusion regarding gender and sexuality issues, specially considering this being the month of LGBTQ+ Pride, thus leading many to rightfully preach for the necessity of tolerance, understanding and compassion for all of us as human beings, equally loved by Christ.
However, I come here to note to you that this Christ, who is surely loved by you, calls for repentance. Therefore, I call each one of you to urgently exhort your brethren in Christ not to fall into the erroneous mindset that has contaminated the world, so that your souls will not be lead astray.
God does, indeed, love people who experience same sex attraction. He will not, however, tolerate homosexual activity.
This is so because there must be known a difference between the feeling of same sex attraction, and the actions that, following this attraction, are indeed sinful.
As Christians, we are equally called to die to the flesh. We have been made new creatures of Christ, therefore, we ought not to give in to the ways of the flesh, seeking its pleasures, but rather seeking in God the consolation that will bring us heaven.
I hope to God this message can serve as a remembrance to you that God demands us to change, and to pursue not our will, but His.
This being the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I ask for His blessing, so that we will have light in this community.

Please don’t judge me and I know I’m stupid and weak. I really need help and support in the short term and working on my deeper issues long term in therapy.
To be honest I’m not sure if I’m with the right person and those doubts have been tormenting me. I’ve cried so many days and felt sick chronically for months. My heart is constantly in pain and my blood pressure super high. For context, I’m a 27 F with my partner E (30 M) in a relationship for almost 6 years. I’m a southeast Asian first gen immigrant and my future in laws are white Christian conservatives. They used to live 30 minutes away but have moved to Texas the beginning of this year. My partner is an atheist and they scapegoated me for “making” him atheist even though I didn’t and he was atheist a year before he met me. They look down on me being Buddhist.
My future in laws have been verbally and emotionally abusive towards me using lots of gossiping and exclusion towards me in the family. They often insult and criticize me to my face and multiple times have tried to get E to break up with me behind my back and then forced him to keep it a secret from me (but he told me later but won’t set boundaries with his parents to them so it keeps happening).
His mother says racist things about “third world countries” (her words, not mine to emphasize her mentality) she’s visited and the people there scowling that they are dirty and lazy. She says there is no difference between Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese food. She acts like any kind of food that is not stereotypically American is gross and judges other people for liking it. She also touches my hair aggressively and my décolletage and my face without asking, masking it in a backhanded “compliment” like “omg is your beautiful, thick hair even real (and not extensions)? pulls on hair” and “you can’t be not wearing foundation right now, your skin looks too good; is this your real skin without make up? touches cheek” or literally insulting me after I put on sunscreen like “why is your skin so greasy and shiny?! scrapes finger aggressively on my décolletage” I feel like an object she feels entitled to do what she wants to instead of a human. She constantly puts me down with criticisms or backhanded compliments. She would be petty and compliment her daughter and all the other women in her family/tribe as “gorgeous” and “stunning” in front of me but look at me and sneer. When others have complimented me a lot in public for being “distractingly beautiful” and “drop dead gorgeous” and “stunning like a literal princess or queen” (ironically probably everything she wishes they would tell her and her daughter), she would try to correct them and say “she’s just cute” (she said this to her own mother in law/the grandmother in the family for calling me “a beautiful princess”) or she pouts and then amps up the mistreatment/exclusion of me after anybody compliments me. It’s like she centers her and her daughter as the epitome of white American beauty (the blonde hair and blue eyes type) and then becomes enraged when others give more attention and compliments my beauty because she feels entitled to be the center of attention, not this non-white nobody. My intuition knows there is a racial component to this because she exclusively only compliments white women and I have only seen her nitpick women of color. That’s probably why she calls me an attention-seeking slut because to her if I’m getting any attention then it could only be because of being an immoral character and getting it in a malicious, underhanded way (because how could my lesser, ugly self get attention otherwise?)
I am told by others that I’m a talented painter and illustrator, and she looks at my work and instead of saying something nice or neutral, she decides to say “did you copy or trace this work from someone else?” with spite in her face (implying that the work is too good to actually be mine).
She’s also a raging internalized misogynist saying that another woman was a scheming bitch upstaging her daughter at her wedding because she wore a red dress and got some compliments at the wedding, and years later a family friend decided to still remember and compliment this girl rather than remembering or praising her daughter, the bride. Instead of thinking the family friend was rude, she scapegoats the girl (the wife of her daughter’s husband’s brother) who wore the red dress and gossips viciously about her and ostracizes her and turns everyone in her family/tribe against her. It made me feel so much for what this other woman must have been put through. I hate seeing people bullied like this, and I had to speak up this time and there was a blow up about it where she screamed in a public restaurant that I was “unacceptable” and she walked out on me and made a scene after I said it was wrong to treat this women like that. Yet all she could tell me is that the dress was red and longer and nothing else inappropriate about the style or cut or fabric or bling or anything like that. She is an eternally controlling bridezilla that claims that any woman wearing a full length dress is automatically upstaging the bride and the mother of the bride regardless of what style, cut, or color the dress has. She praises blonde hair and blue eyes and is one of those people that considers that if you were born blonde than you forever have the elite status of being a natural blonde even if your hair has changed to literal brown/brunette. She delusionally calls her very brown hair (fuck this shit, brunette hair is beautiful!) a “very dirty blonde.” She seems to think that blonde hair makes her and her daughter better than other women because she constantly gloats about it like it’s a whole personality. She also has called me a tramp with glee to my face for wearing fitness clothes when I was at home (it was midriff baring). She glares at me like I’m a disgusting slut or whore all the time (and as a Christian conservative she ain’t sex positive or reclaiming the words slut/white/tramp). She has double standards and judges me harshly for being a slut for my appearance because I am very feminine and will dress both modestly and more glamourous or sexy (depending on context but I will be appropriate for dress codes), but treats her son like he is too good for me or way better than me even though by her logic he would be/should be considered the “whore” of the two of us because he’s dated and slept around while I’ve only been in three serious relationships in my 27 years of life and am demisexual and therefore picky. The point is not that it is bad to be promiscuous because no woman deserves this bullying and dehumanization even if she’s had hundreds of sexual partners, seriously. And honestly I don’t blame any woman for being sexual and that’s not anybody’s business to judge her for it. There isn’t a “right” way to be a woman and many different choices are equally valid and respectable. I’m pissed that misogynists can be disrespectful and speak eerily similar to a way a rapist talks about women and categorizes certain women as “bad” or “asking for it.” The point is that she is a misogynist who thinks she can tell your “morality” by how you dress and judges one gender but not the other for the same thing. She must be obsessed with my tiny waist (I only mention this because she’s noted my “tiny waist” several times in convo with me) and figure because she’s always looking me up and down and then makes body shaming remarks about me being anorexic or too disgustingly skinny or blowing away in the wind or fitting in my laundry chute or disappearing when I turn to the side. She also asks for height and then mocks me for being too short (I am nearly 5 ft 4) and saying since she thought was way taller than me but is really only 2 inches taller then she must have “thought too highly of herself”—implying that the taller the height the more better than you are than someone shorter.
She’s literally chewed me out and yelled at me condescendingly for wanting to think for myself and look stuff up for myself and said that I need to “listen to other people who know better.” I am literally bleeding to bite my tongue because my partner puts pressure on me to keep the peace and views me as a villain every time I slip up and speak up.
One of the cruelest remarks that I’ll never forget in my life was when the future sister in law and mother in law mocked me with derision and for being “drama queen and attention seeker” for attempting suicide years ago when I was deeply depressed in the past at 22 and how my future SIL said “I don’t want her at my party” contemptuously for it. I never made a show of my depression or struggles and I only told one friend who promised to keep it confidential but she lied and told E (she was a mutual friend) and he left a family event on his own accord to come help me and he told his family all about my business (to explain why he was leaving abruptly he justified) without checking in with me if that’s okay to share first. They see this young girl hurting and what they see is a bitch sabotaging and trying to break up the family by trying the “steal E away from his family like when she cried suicide to make him drop everything and run to her.” But I never asked him for that. It was early in us dating and my friend told him without my consent. I’ve never stopped hurting about that incident and they definitely threatened to push me over the edge when I was already fighting like hell and wishing I wanted to live again and to stop being suicidal and feeling ashamed about it.
E seems to acknowledge that his parents are manipulative or mean only half the time or sometimes. With time and progress he now begrudgingly admits it most of the time it’s happening, but I still don’t feel like I get the compassion or empathy I need from him even in private let alone in public when it happens. He’s used to the abuse so it’s normalized to him & he just shuts down and doesn’t hear anything/dissociate instead of standing up for me. I understand his pain but I feel like the human sacrifice for him to avoid confronting the reality and the conflict between his parents. It hurts that he does nothing when I’m bullied and that makes me scared I’m with the wrong person.
I’m not allowed in the house when they visit and they’ve made it a point to visit from Texas in April, this month, and next month. E has also visited them in February and May too. Each visit lasts for at least a week. It’s exhausting to have my life disrupted and to be displaced from my home and basically couch surfing homeless when they visit. The mother is completely enmeshed with him and she says creepy incestuous remarks like “his left cheek is mine so you better not touch it” or “my boy loves his mommy the most” or “only your mommy knows how to take care of you” in a pouty and creepy way. She constantly calls the guest room “my room.” My partner tells me to treat his house like my own home, yet she scolds me for calling it and treating it like my home like I was asked to do by the owner: “this is NOT your home, you just get to live here (charity)”
Have you ever experienced cruelty from any of your partner’s parents or in laws? I’m needing reassurance, love, support, advice, or anything you could give. I know I sound stupid for not knowing what to do but I’m in a vulnerable place right now and I’m feeling so low about my worth that my own thoughts and feelings are so distorted. It would help me to hear it from others because I can’t think past my own shame right now (it’s something I’m working on long term in therapy). I’ve had a history of being abused before as a child and in my previous relationship and I still struggle to trust my own perceptions from being gaslit so much in my life. I don’t know why I feel so afraid to lose my partner and feeling this is all just happening because I’m not good enough for him and his family even though I would consider this wrong if I saw it done to others. Also for context I think I may be trauma bonded to him because I think I was lovebombed in the beginning and then later there were times he was avoidant dismissive. After putting me through hell the first time he broke up with me and then we were in an open relationship for a while where I didn’t feel good enough for him, he finally has committed and said he wants to marry me. Now I know it’s asinine but it’s the sunk cost fallacy of every bit of pain I went through to finally be good enough for him and I’m scared I’m not a good person (I have my flaws) so I feel like I owe to him to stay and fix my flaws and be better instead of nagging him to stand up for me because he says it makes him feel criticized and that I’m too critical. And he says I provoke his mother but she started bullying me way before I spoke up to her more recently twice. I told her I felt talked down by her and on another separate occasion when I swore she was dismissive towards me about how I want to change the lock to the house for extra peace of mind (E had given his parents the spare key and they lost it while moving) she said “no come on it’s not even labeled, I said “I get to feel what I feel” (because by this point everything had been piling up the way she has treated me so badly) but my partner claims she wasn’t dismissive and was being fine there and genuinely helpful and I was the rude one to say “I get to feel what I feel” and I think I might have misinterpreted that so I don’t know anymore. He said I started it in front of them when I desperately asked him to back me up after they started hurling insults that I was mean and disrespectful and selfish. Please help me wake up. My intuition is fighting against the programming and helplessness of my past trauma and I want to find the strength and courage to choose myself but the pain is too much. Emotionally I’m convinced this is my fault and I’ll never find anyone else who will love me because I’m horrible and I’m lucky my partner loves me so i should keep working it and mend things with him (he’s sometimes sympathetic but also very angry at me often about this). Aside from this and the past chaos, my partner been wonderful and loving and supportive and providing more security towards me these last two years. I do love the way he thinks/sees the world and who he is as a person dearly and it feels impossible for me to walk away and abandon this beautiful soul who has also been abused like me.

so zane gave half of his power source to pixal but was that the reason why she became more human like and developed feelings for zane and did zane got a new power source in season 4 and did pixal still had the half of zanes power source? yeah i think its just way to corny to call it heart

I adopted my sweet boy about a month ago. He is truly a wonderful, gentle cat, and literally has zero behavioral issues. I adopted him from a very kind family who had him since he was a kitten. He is 8 years old and clearly has had a wonderful life, and was very well taken care of. He had other cat friends in his neighborhood that he would go out and hang out with. He was very attached to his owners of course, who can no longer care for him due to their health/old age. I regularly text the owner’s daughter and she is very helpful and nice, but of course I can’t depend on her to advise me forever.
He got lost for a few days but came back home, and since then we’re transitioning him to being fully indoors. We do not live in a great area to have an indoor-outdoor cat (I actually got bit myself by a dog the other day, but reckless dog owners are a subject for another time).
The thing is, he has a very specific cry that I can only describe as grieving. It happens maybe 2-3 times a day but used to happen more when I first got him. It is a deep wailing that almost turns to a scream at the end. It breaks my heart. I know cats don’t experience emotions the way we do, but I can imagine how much he must be missing his old life.
I’m doing my best to keep him happy. He sleeps with me in my bed. I have toys for him but he is not interested in any of them. He likes his treats, of course, but he still cries afterward. I am trying to provide as much mental stimulation as possible to keep him from being bored/lonely. He has a cat tower, and I’m getting him a catio. He has three different kinds of food, a water fountain, like I’ve cared for this cat probably about the same as a human child. But how can I help him through the grief for his old home that he is feeling? It brings me to tears, I have this precious responsibility to this little life and I am now his whole world, how do I help him acclimate to his new home and enjoy the new adventures we will have to together?
Any and all advice is appreciated fellow cat friends.

Ok, so for a very long time I avoided poly, rh, and menage romances like the plague because I was convinced that I wouldn't like them. I did at one point try a few and they just didn't do it for me, so I thought that was it, done deal, it just wasn't my thing, ya know?
UNTIL, I read the most adorable monster menage romance ever and now I absolutely NEED more.
The book is {Keeping the Human's Heart by Lyonne Riley}
Its part of this author's Trollkin Lovers series, but it can be read as a standalone!
Basically the premise is that Esme (FMC) is a deserter who escapes human troops fighting a war against trolls and she ends up in the barn of an MM orc and troll (Drazak and Han'zir) couple. At first the pair see her as a cute "pet" and keep her around because she offers to help around their farm, but eventually they all form emotional attachments, they recognize her as more than a "pet" and welcome her into their relationship and home.
I loved the way that each character had a solid relationship with each other and how healthy their relationship dynamic was as a whole. I especially loved the way they cared for Esme, it was giving "little princess" vibes (NOT IN A CREEPY WAY); I mean she went hunting and tilled land, but to Drazak and Han'zir she was their adorable human girlfriend/mate. They were so sensitive with her, it was tooth achingly sweet. 🥰

ANYWAYS......NOW FOR MY REQUEST!
Please recommend me book with the following:

• Menage relationship: I'm open to MMMF but I draw the line at MMMMF 😔 I'm a beginner, have mercy!

(preferably MMF, but FFM is fine too!)

• Pregnancy!!!!!!!: the stage of pregnancy doesn't matter as long as it happens in the book and between the MCs

(this is an absolute MUST, lol don't judge me ✋🙄 but I found that I really like it in the context of a poly relationship romance, its hot 🔥not knowing who the baby daddy is, ok?)

• Good plot to smut ratio
  (I think this is what really determines if a rh/poly/menage romance is good or not to me, it has to be engaging enough outside if the sexy time moments - you get me?)
  
• I KNOW ✋ my post headline says "monsters," but I am completely open to regular old human menage romances too, so suggest away!
  
• The FMC must be treated like their little princess, like they worship the ground she walks on type vibe and are afraid of her tears. I want them wrapped completely around her little finger, preferably she is oblivious to her power over her harem, but its ok if she is also mischievous and uses her powers for shenanigans.
  

THINGS I DON'T WANT: ❌

• NO ow/om drama (not even passing mention of others, no thank you)
  
• NO situations where an MF couple accepts a third M or F. I just don't like it, I would prefer a MM/MMM pairing accepting an F, its more appealing to me OR everyone gets into the relationship at the same time.
  
• NO non-con anything.
  
• NO toxic romances please.
  

*****
Suggest whatever you think fits, monsters, humans, shifters, or anything else is absolutely acceptable! I am also not partial to any romantic sub genre (historical, contemporary, fantasy, etc.) as long as my other requirements are kept!
Thank y'all in advance 😫 🫶🏼, please help my beginner self discover all the best poly romances!

I am going to jump straight to the chase. My character is a morally good vampire, more than a century and a half years old. His backstory goes like this:
“Lumen was born back in 1881 as a male human being of Italian descent and his given name was Mortimer. As Mortimer Valentine, he had chosen to devote himself to medicine and, being gifted, successfully ended up becoming an illustrious surgeon. The years passed, and as he aged, he led the life of a blissfully distinguished gentleman, renowned for both his expertise and his benevolence. Not only accomplished, but also happily married, he was the rich patriarch of a sizeable family.
Sadly, the contentment that he’d achieved by his twilight years was destined to be snuffed out on a family reunion in 1951, when he was already 70 years of age, retired, and closing in on his end. Upon coming home on that “festive” evening after being out, the old man got greeted with nothing but a gory heap of what remained of his most precious loved ones. His wife, 5 adult children and 9 grandchildren had all got brutally torn limb from limb by a gang of rogue vampires. The killers belonged to a notorious clan that held no respect for human life and was terribly infamous for their cruelty and their hubris even among their own kindred.
Of course, Mortimer’s helpless shock was not describable. His frail old mind was about ready to collapse from the sight of all his most precious legacy — his spawns — and his dear elderly spouse reduced to nothing but pieces of meat scattered about and feasted upon. And as he began to bawl and wail, one of the beasts lunged at him and manhandled him, biting and forcibly turning him into a vampire against his will. Mortimer arrived so late, the criminals were already full, so they didn’t dig into his chest to sink their teeth into his heart — otherwise, he would simply die and rest in piece like his loved ones did. But no.
Mortimer woke up locked in a coffin, with his hair full of colour and his skin youthful once again, the blood in his veins cold, his heart frozen in place for forever.”
Now, maybe that was a bit too much to include, but... Is this too much? I have honestly been insecure about this piece.
In my writing I write Lumen as someone who is deathly afraid of other undead, showing symptoms of C-PTSD and actively recovering from a trauma-induced depression. I have actually been dedicating a lot of time to researching trauma responces and disorders that come along. Right now, Lumen’s main theme is a desire to “justify” his prolonged existence by doing good in the world, and seeking “innocence” — purification from the sin of outliving his family at such an old age, the right to feel good in his beauty, and the right to be happy despite being what he despises.
I can also tell tons more about this character. Like, tons. But I really want to hear an opinion on this backstory, since I haven’t ever exposed it to anyone else before.
