10th grade spelling

Hi everyone, I got my 10th grade finals scores today(IGCSE) and didn't do very good, due to some family issues before my exams I choked and got 5 As, 2 Bs and a C. I will be graduating in 2026 and wanted advice on what can I do from now to increase my chances of getting into better collegs even with the average scores. I know that these scores will be looked at during college applications and so want to know how I can show that I am capable of more than my scores show.
Sorry for the bad formatting, its not been a great day yk.

aving trouble finding a game that I played in 1st grade. It would have to be between 2011 - 2013 Used to play it at school in the computer labs The game involved spelling and sentences(I think) and the main character was a dog riding on a Segway and I think there was a computer too. After completing a task, he would do something funny like run into a wall. The game might have been called letter bugs or something like that but I couldn’t find the game

The game takes place at Dragon's Lair from on Wednesdays from 6pm - 10 pm once every two weeks. The next session is on May 29th.
If interested send me a message or reply here
Campaign description: Night Below, the first epic campaign for the AD&D game, is designed to take the player characters from 1st level to 10th level and beyond. The pcs start as beginning adventurers on a routine courier mission who soon become drawn into combating a sinister plot that menaces the pleasant land of Haranshire.
Character Creation/Leveling up guidelines: Character creation will be done in session 0. Attributes: Roll 4d4+4 for each stat. Allocate the numbers to the stats you choose. When rolling hp roll twice and take the highest of the two.Please keep a log of all hp rolls per level. This will be important if energy drain ever comes into play. The back of your character sheet is a good place to do this.
House rule: Modified individual initiative: Turns proceed in ascending order (lower is faster).All creatures roll 1d10-(dex mod) at the start of combat, that is the base initiative for the combat.At the start of each round all creatures declare their intents, relevant modifiers (weapon speed, spell speed, etc) are added to their base initiative.Haste lowers initiative by 2.Monster initiatives will be rolled once per group of monsters.

Hello everyone!
I have been dabbling in fantasy for quite some time now and have had Malazan on my list for most of that time. I have honestly been scared to start it because of all the things I read about it about it on Fantasy. What's more is that I am an exclusive audiobook listener, and I've seen it said that this is not the series for those who don't read the physical book.
Anyway, I did it. I listened to book 1. It was overwhelming. The best way I can think to describe it is when I was in 4th grade I was determined to be smart enough to read the books in the school library that went up to the small purple dot. One of my friends could read the books that had the big solid orange dots and I was so jealous! So I decided to just grab one and not tell my teacher. A few weeks later he was checking on our reading and I had to inform him that I had no idea what was going on in the book and that I wasn't at that level yet.
It's definitely an interesting writing device and I think it helped me focus on characters and pay attention in ways I never had before. I felt about 40-50% of the way through that I was starting to get a fair idea of who people were and what was going on (at least I think...).
A big takeaway for me was how much I just love a story spoon-fed to me. I love Brandon Sanderson because his writing is so straightforward and accessible and really lends itself to the audiobook medium. The arcs can shine and the plots can be very kinetic and almost cinematic. However, I felt like the characters in GotM felt so tangible and visceral.
"So what's next for me?" you didn't ask. Well, I'm not sure. This world seems so vast and I'm dying to learn more about the ascendants and the magic system(s), but I'm just not sure if I can invest what it's going to take. Maybe I will read some summaries of GotM and see if that piques my interest. I'm interested to hear if any of you have done exclusively audio all the way through and if you thought it was worth it!
But that's it. For fun I typed out names of people and cities and whatever else I heard when I wasn't driving to see how far away I was from the way it's actually spelled. The reader had an accent different from my own and it shows, but I thought you guys might find it mildly entertaining.

Hi! I'm an International student from India.
My results are all out. How do I send them now?

Your next step is to submit your final official high school transcript, including your final grades earned for ALL years of high school, and date of graduation, by July 1, 2024
Please work with your high school counselor to send your final official transcript. We recommend your school counselor submits your final official transcripts to University Enrollment Services Admissions Processing via Naviance eDocs (or Parchment) by choosing Rutgers University–New Brunswick regardless of which campus you are attending. We also accept final official transcripts via SCOIR, sent directly from your school's counseling office.

If your school plans to mail your final official transcript, please have them sent to: "xyz"
Like most of the Indian High schools, my school doesn't use any of the above services. Also, I was in a different school up until 10th. What do I send them? My marksheet? A document that I would ask my counsellor (Invited my CS teacher as one earlier) to create that would have all the information? (earlier, my previous HS peeps told me they can't legally forge the CBSE documents into some other doc... CBSE marksheet is the only official "transcript" I would have for 10th and 12th) Finally, HOW do I send them whatever I have? Is there a way to issue official transcripts from CBSE directly and have them sent? Can I ask for duplicates from CBSE and send them to the University via mail? Do I just create Scanned Copies of my Documents or something?
Help T~T
PS: I'm going to attend Rutgers NB for a BS in Physics + probably a minor in Maths/CS rutgers

please ignore some spelling mistakes, typing with one hand i had tethered cord surgery at 10 after three years of chronic back pain and development of a posture hunch. at the same time i was diagnosed with spina bifida. i was leaned forward and unable to stand at full height. in terms of post-op i saw the surgeon one more time. in the hospital i could feel some loss of sensation in my left foot, i expressed this but my nerves still reacted like normal when tested and i was crying/going through an anxiety attack from feeling overwhelmed (note: i fear i was perhaps not taken seriously bc of that but not dwelling on what ifs rn) for about half a year following the surgery i had intense and crippling migraines that i was told (by surgeon) it was from loss of spinal fluid. they eventually went away.
through middle school and high school i did not see my doctor much, no scans, some PT, i went in for sciatica pain multiple times and was given home stretches. my pain would tange depending on how much movement i had done, for a time in sophmore year (15) i had migraines as bad as the post-op ones. i saw a chiropractor (sorry) who was the one to tell me i had developed scoliosis (beginning of 2021?) until end of 2022 when i had another pinched sciatica following an appointment with her.
flash forward to the last two years(23-24); college. this time last year i had been stretching and heard a pop so loud in my hip for a second i feared i dislocated something (it hurt badly, 6-8, by this time i was used to a high pain level) and went to urgent care after days of no relief. it became a problem when driving was causing further pain. i had an xray of my right thigh/hip and no issues were visible. i was sent home with crutches and higher dose over the counter meds which i used for some time before returning to normal range of movement. the month prior i strained some unknown muscle in my left rib area which caused pain when breathing. another xray, sent home again. i felt both for a year following, most pain died down to discomfort/soreness from overuse after a few months. i saw my dr for the newest round of PT for feet pain as well and xrays showed hallux valgus in both feet the PT eval i had monday pointed out my body in parts seem strong and the symptoms are presenting as neuro related. last night i felt a pop in my L foot (bad history with pops) and i would say the dragging of my foot today has been its worse.
for pain management i take over the counter pain meds and once turning 18 i got my med card per my states laws, etc.
to recap and ensure i include all of them here is a summary , - weakness in my left side ranging from foot drop (dragging my foot), a noticeable increase in my lazy eye (left) as well as eye strain. even looking in pictures you can see when my pain was worse my eye wonders more off skelter. my mobility is becoming more limited, my driving is even being hindered i cant fall asleep on my left side. and when i close my eyes my balance goes out the window. i failed the romberg test :( i would describe the feeling as pulling my left hip by a string, needing to overcompensate. numbness/loss of sensation and some tingling mixed with muscle spasms -ive always had neck tics starting in eight grade but i boiled it down go being anxiety linked¿ my life was high stress at the time due to a parent being ill and it was sporadic - tension headaches and a constant strain on my right side. sore rather than sharp pain - some issue with BM’s - numbness while peeing - snoring (not happened much when i was younger)
my question; would it be worth it to go to the ER with my current symptoms in order to receive care faster? i can survive as i am now, as i have been, but not for a year or more my concerns/where my current urgency is stemming from i was referred back to PT by my dr and have to complete three weeks in order to get referred (my dr said we need to look proactive for records/ortho) after going to PT the dr said it is likely linked to my spina bifida which falls to neuro. ive done research in the past regarding my condition, and have always tried to approach it with an open mind regarding possible need for further treatment. however, looping back to the three weeks of PT, it was a multi-month wait for my podiatry appointment so i can only assume itd be the same if not longer for ortho once the referral is sent, would be 2-4 months, countering in the neuro side if i do need to see a specialist id likely be referred until after my ortho consult, so an appointment would likely not happen until early 2025. ive talked to my friends mom, ~20 years in the nursing field, and presented my case to her. her opinion was to go, i messaged my dr and she told me it’d help my case too. ik with this piece of info, its weird for me to be asking random people when real people closer to me have said to go, i however still feel somewhat like the anxious 10 year old that wasn’t fully listened to. would i be wasting time? am i wasting everyone’s time at the ER? help doctors whom have my admiration! from a former pre-med student.

As of the fall semester of my junior year, my UW GPA is 3.86 and weighted is 4.09. I have consistently As and A-s (my school doesn't do A+s) in every class EXCEPT for math. Last semester I had a B, midterms I had a B- and will likely have a B- at the end of junior year. I love my math teacher and have had him for 3 years (7th grade, 10th grade, and now 11th). I belive he is a great teacher and blame my school's grading system (100% test based and I literally have not finished a single test all year bc I don't qualify for extra time) for my poor precalc grades. My teacher even told me he would write me a letter of rec, like he brought it up without me asking. He also told me he didn't think I should take a math course next year, and is a strong advocate of seniors skipping math if they've met grad requirements (I'm taking calc 1 anyway).
Since I think my math teacher knows me really well, and because he brought it up, I asked him to write my STEM teacher letter of rec. Now, my parents are now mad at me because they think he will say bad things due to my bad grades. I think he wouldn't have agreed to write me a letter if he didn't have good things to say. Did I make the right choice?

Class of 2022: I didn't know a lot of them well, the few I did have classes with were really high achievers.
2023: I looked up to and admired these guys so much. The ones I knew were very talented with good personalities.
2024: I've known some of these guys since I was in 7th grade and I'm sad to see them go. We've become friends, they've inspired and helped me, I love them so much.
2025: Oh boy my grade! Some of us were menaces 9th and 10th grade, but we've mellowed out for the most part.
2026: A lot of them seem pretty basic, but the ones I've actually talked to are pretty cool people.
2027: These guys can't be left unsupervised for 5 minutes without breaking into a fight.

At prom, I ran into an old classmate/friend whom I didn't like much. He was annoying as hell in middle school and did some pretty mean stuff to me and said some pretty shitty things about me too, which is why I drifted away from a possible friendship with him. Now that we are older, I wanted to give him a second chance. So, at prom, we exchanged numbers. He texted me that night and we have been texting ever since, up until now. This situation happened about a week ago, so it's recent but not a new situation. He went on and on about how he always wanted to be friends with me, but according to him, he thought I never liked him, which was right—I didn't. However, I decided to forgive him and move past it since we are older now. It wasn't even a week before he started acting like an asshole again—leaving me hanging and texting me back hours after I would text him. So, I sent him a "paragraph" stating that he needed to let me know if he wanted to be friends or not, so I'm not wasting my time on bs. He said he would do better and that he apologized for his inconsistency, so I forgave him, and he actually got better at texting back at a decent timeframe. This is where my best friend comes in—she works with him, and recently, our school had a friend trip I wasn't able to attend due to health reasons. My best friend and he were having a normal conversation, from my understanding, about work, and then I came into the conversation. He showed her the texts between him and me, and my best friend ended up texting me, saying, "Girl, why are you sending stuff like that to boys? You're supposed to keep it cute when it comes to boys." When I rightfully started going off through text, she told me not to say anything to him about it, like she was more worried about his feelings instead of mine. I confronted her about it and told her how I felt, and we haven't talked for 5 days now.
EDIT: I blocked him immediately right when she told me that she saw the messages.
EDIT: In the past (10th grade) he tried to get with my best friend but she declined.

My son and a friend signed a lease for an apartment that doesn't start until July 2024. Is it possible for them to get out of the lease before they occupy without penalty? If not, any idea what the penalty would be? It doesn't really say anything on the lease about penalties. I'm guessing it could be the security deposit, or it could be the entire lease.
The reason why they want to cancel is that there is no storage and the place is prone to flooding. They didn't realize how bad this situation was until they emailed the property owner.
Here is the response from the property owner that caused them to want to get out of the lease. It's a pretty small place 900sq feet.
"I’m sorry for my slow response to your email. Unfortunately our garage is full, partly due to the fact that it holds 7 bikes, part of my ceramics studio, a motorcycle, our camping and outdoor gear, 2 cars and spare VW Eurovan parts, not to mention stuff accumulated over the last 50-60 years. (Consider yourself warned and also: minimalism! ;-) )
You are welcome to move or add furniture, or decide not to use some of the furniture and/or decor in the apartment, in whatever way suits you. (We’ll have a few days before you move in to remove anything you don’t want. If you’d like to schedule a time to come by to make some of those decisions we’d be happy to do that.) Mainly we would want to know about painting or other somewhat permanent changes. One suggestion may be to move/remove that small desk in the corner “nook" of the living room and instead add shelving and bike hooks for your skis, bikes and gear. Also, there is an entry closet that could be used for storage, as well as part of the pantry area. We’re happy to remove the additional stools, baby gear and anything else you don’t want in there. The larger bedroom has two full size closets, one of which could possibly be used for extra gear, especially if shelving was added, and if Steven would agree to that, of course.
As far as flooding, in past experience the French drain fails when there are very heavy slow-moving rainstorms, which can occur mostly during the spring/summer months. We have a "shop-vac & bailing" response when that happens and are happy to assist with that if we’re available at the time. A couple of rolled towels in the entrance threshold is typically enough to absorb incoming rainwater. If we can store a shop vac in the apartment it makes things more convenient. Any flooding that happens from those events typically remains within the first few feet of the front door, dampening the entry rug and possibly part of the living room rug. Please let us know if you detect water anywhere in the apartment it shouldn’t be and we’ll respond as quickly as possible to fix the problem. That said, if it’s possible to store sensitive items off the floor a couple of inches (think 2x4 boards), all the better.Thanks for your questions and please feel free to let me know if this doesn’t answer your questions fully. I’ll try to respond more quickly in the future."

Hey! Some brief background information: I'm from Canada. For my province, high school starts in 10th grade, meaning you can't take APs in 9th. Also, most of our classes require 3 semesters of a subject before taking the AP exam. I won't delve into specifics but this means that most of my AP exams will be senior year, after college applications.
Now, I know AP exams are important for U.S. colleges, but I also know that U.S. colleges view international applicants and our school circumstances differently. I took 3 AP exams this year in 10th grade. Next,year, in 11th, I will have Biology, Language and Composition, and Seminar for sure.
I am also pretty much set on self-studying Macroeconomics (I took Micro and have decent economic thinking) and Chinese (this is nearly free for me).
I feel as if I lack APs to be competitive for admissions. Would adding Psychology and Human Geography be realistic AS A SELF-STUDY (bringing the total to 7, but really like 6 because Chinese will take minimal effort)?
So,
In-class: Bio, Lang, Seminar
Self-study: Chinese, Macro + Psych, HuG
I could drop any of the self-studies (except Chinese) if necessary, so feel free to leave suggestions. Thanks!

So in the last three years I have had 10 surgeries. Two knee surgeries one on each leg. Which I am currently recovering from one now. And eight other surgeries on my bum. This past year I have been in treatment from mental health problems.
Because I tried to kill myself. The day after my car wreck. My parents had set up a camera in my room to check on my with from their phone because I had a major concussion. And they found me half dead there after taking a whole bottle of klonopin.
Anyway during the entire time I was in treatment I was diagnosed with some mental illness. And my parents told me the entire time that when I'm better and I'm out of treatment that I would have a place to stay. And that they would help me go to therapy and make sure I would have everything I need. And that what I had prepared for until about a month before I got out. Then the whole thing changes.
I suddenly can't stay with them and they aren't going to help me and that I'm pretty much on my own. So after that I called my best friend (and secret crush since I met him) let's call him Bob.
A little backstop on Bob I've known him since 10th grade and we hung out all the time pretty much did everything together. One of the greatest people I have ever known.
Bob let me stay at the house he had just bought right before my car wreck after I came home from treatment and now I'm kinda stuck.
I can't get a job because I don't have a car and he works out of town all week and we live 45 min car ride from the nearest town. He's let me stay here for months and I recently tore a tendon in my knee and dislocated my patella while bring in groceries. Now I'm recovering from surgery.
I'm just lost I'm sinking into my depression and I don't know how to even begin to get started on my life. And everyone in my family and his keeps telling me that it's not normal that he let's a grown man live in his house. I know that my contribution is small but it's Not nothing.
Please help

Hi all!
I currently teach 9th and 10th grade at an all girls college prep school. We include a Mythology unit, and have been using the Hamilton mythology text, as it is pretty much the standard. I have found it pretty dry, though, and missing a lot of good stories (i.e. Pandora’s Box). Have you used another mythology text of similar caliber? I consulted Gods and Mortals by Sarah Iles Johnston, but found it a bit on the mature side for my freshmen. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Ive been playing trumpet for almost 5 years now (6th grade or 8th grade bc of covid to 10th now, been 1st chair from 6th to JV band in highschool and didnt really like band, ive only started really liking it the past school year) Ive been practicing daily/5 times a week for around 10 months now. At the start of those 10 months i was barely able to punch out a g or g# above the staff. Over the next couple months i kept expanding my range only upward to a high c around 2-4 months or so later. Over the past 6-8 months my highest note has been an e once and I can barely play a stable d. I started trying out pedal tones around 2 weeks ago, been able to hit almost every single note down to a double pedal c. (for some reason though i cant hit a single pedal c??)
Next year, our lead player is getting braces and says he cant do it and is switching to 3rd part, leaving me and another guy to play 1st. He also says i should get prepared to play a full double e (the e above the staff) by marching season.
After that quick background of my trumpet playing i have two questions:
What could I do to expand my range even higher?
How can i play a pedal c better? (trying to play it feels like this wierd middle area between low and extreme low, kind of like how it feels between speaking normally and then screaming up to higher notes. when i try to play the pedal c it keeps getting the double pedal and pedal going back and forth.)

I have had to rewrite this multiple different times now, as I keep breaking down. I don't know what to do, and I am completely lost. So apologies for any spelling errors or mistakes, as I'm not in the best place mentally. Note that all names are fake so that he doesn't find this hopefully.
Now a little back story (I promise it will make sense). 9 years ago I met my boyfriend, Adrian. I was in 9th grade, and he was in 11th. He had moved in next door, and because we were to close for busses, but to far to walk, he offered to drive me every day. Even after graduating he drove me. We got really close, and he became my best friend. We started dating 5 years ago.
At that time, I began writing my first story, and Adrian's mom, as an author herself, began helping me. Together we wrote, edited, and got my book ready to publish. Then, in 2019, she passed away unexpectedly. Everyone was distraught, and I decided not to publish the book. Instead, I pushed myself more into work. Working 16 hour days. And up until a year ago, I continued to do this. Adrian and I bought a little duplex and moved in together we rented the other half of it to a friend of his. Now, I've been getting into writing again and have cut back to working 12 hours a day.
Over the course of the last decade, I've been buying books. I've spent a good 3000 on books, and have like 175 ove bought myself at this point. I have another 50 that I got from his mom before she passed and also left in the will for me, and then a handful from friends over the years. Last time I went through them, I had 300 books. Now I know this might seem intense, but I have read almost every single one of these. Whenever I get a chance at work, when I have a day off, when I can't sleep, I read. Reading is the way I cope, I guess.
Adrian knows how important my books are. He knows how much time, money, and energy I've put into getting them all and keeping them looking good. He himself has read a good bit of them and helps me take care of them.
Last week we got into an argument. I don't remember what it was about, just that it lasted from the time I get off, until almost noon. So at the least it lasted 7 hours. Most of it was him screaming at me. I don't know if I fell asleep or what but I genuinely don't remember any of it. However it did end with him storming out of the house, and leaving.
I spent the rest of the day in a haze, and immediately I went to the spare room and started reading. It wasn't until he came in an hour before I had to leave for work, that I stopped reading.
When I got off work the next mourning, I immediately went home, took a shower, and fell asleep. I woke up to the fire alarm going off, and my husband frantically running around, trying to get them to stop. Immediately I went into the spare room to see if everything was okay.
My books- specifically the shelf that had been gifted to me- were smoking, some of them were on the floor. I asked him what had happened, and apperantly he was playing with this new flame torch lighter, when it caught one of my books on fire. It was on the top shelf, so while it wasn't too bad and he was able to get them out, there was a few books (the ones he through on the floor). I asked him what book caught on fire, and he didn't respond, instead he just teared up and pointed.
On the ground was the book his mom and I wrote together.
I lost it. I asked him to leave, and when he tried to refuse, I threatened to call the police. It took 5 minutes of us arguing before I burst into tears and he finally left.
It's been almost a week now. I haven't responded to him at all. I changed the locks on the house, and even informed his friends that if they let him into my part of the house, I'd have all of them arrested.
Last night, his father called me. We talked and while he said that he understood why I was hurt, he thought I should let Adrien come back and try to fix it.
I don't know if I can though. I don't know if I can trust him. I don't know what to do, and I just need advice

so I am not autistic, I don’t know the other word for it for sure I think it’s neurotypical it’s like the opposite of neurodivergent and I learned that i tf called that bc we are socially aware so anyways I was just reading a post that come across my feed on how some autistic guys get called creeps when they didnt pick up social cues and now I feel super bad thinking back on my last experiences with being sexually harassed by guys, because now I think that maybe they actually didn’t mean they just pick up hints.
Like for example my 10th grade this guy he had a crush on me, and he would follow me around and stuff like to class or my bus or when I’d walk home he would trail behind so he could be near me. I thought it was super creepy and it made me uncomfy so I started trying to take different paths to places to avoid him, but he found me anyway and then that’s when he drafted talking to me. He would keep asking me if I wanted to touch him, or get in his bed and once he cornered me when I was near my locker bc he wanted my number and wouldn’t let me leave til I gave it. I asked him to stop but he didn’t so I finally got the courage to tell my parents and they got his parents and school involved.
He stopped after that but would give me dirty glances in halls, that was 2 years ago. i have been experience the same thing with other guys but that was the most major one. Back then, I was scared of him and any guy who act like that i would say horrible things like they’re weird or creepy and try to avoid them at all costs, and telling them that behavior is not okay . I thought that was right bc that’s how other ppl saw but now I feel so terrible as a person…I realize that they probably didnt mean to be that way, they just didnt understand that they were making us uncomfortable bc they can’t tell, it’s impossible too because of how different typical and divergent people are socialized.
That’s why they didnt stop because they didn’t realize they had too, and now all I want to do is apologize because i never want to be a mean girl or bully anyone for something they can’t control, it’s not their fault they can’t pick up hints. They prob just thought they were flirting, and now I ashamed I thought of them as weirdos when they just had crushes.Im thinking about finding the guys insta and sending an apology letter, maybe he will understand? I just want him to know I’m sorry for telling him I was comfortable with his actions, I just wasn’t considerate in his feelings.
I am really sorry how awful society treats autistic people bc it’s not okay and very ableist, they are human beings just like us…:(

I was born in one of the most poor countries in the whole world in the Caribbean Sea and considered the poorest in the entire western world, where hundreds of poor people get killed by gangs and cholera every day. Where law and order is basically non existent, and leaders don't what decisions to make regarding anything, they are all incompetent. A country called a "shithole" by Trump when he was still in office.
Luckily for me I came from a family that had enough money to be able to immigrate to other countries and I came to the US before my 10th birthday and having been living here ever since. I've been called the hard n world by a white boy with blonde hair in 6th grade and was assaulted by him, yelled at and humiliated by white administrators all throughout my school years, especially in high school, hispanic kids have belittled and joked about my skin color and my country thinking i wouldn't understand spanish, even been bullied by them because of the fact that like most people where i come from, my skin is really dark, but not charcoal dark like most Africans, more like a coconut. Anyways, i've been rejected and despised by white and black people but most of them would never admit to my face how much they hate me.
Like all of you, i've been stared at by whites. everywhere i go they always stared at me. before i lived in america i grew up in a well off suburb far away from the horrid conditions of the rest of that caribbean island and it had a lot of white american and canadian army guys living in rented houses, i remember how i always wanted to be like with their smooth, pale, and clear complexion and how much more money they had compared to my family. One time i said to my mother how i wished i was born because my life would be a lot better but she scolded and lectured me about the pride and achievements of the black race or something like that. all the time i've spent living in the us has made me want to be white anymore, i'm tired of constantly being watched and doubted and judged and criticized for everything that i do, especially by white people. i don't want to keep being stared at and looked down on by people i don't know. and reading all your posts, especially u/bobblead have unlocked memories and sentiments that i've had for a long time but that i never wanted to acknowledge. and i don't want to be asosciated anymore with a race of people that is thought of having no history, no accomplishments, no unity, and many more things like lack of morality, lack of understanding, sexual predatoriness, negativity, etc, you already know all these things so i'm not going to repeat them. and i also hate the fact that everyone's always trying to box you into a category you don't want to be apart of. my complexion automatically makes me "black" and if i want to be white then i'll be seen as an oreo or a race traitor or self-hating because i don't like the label that's been put on me. i've never felt like a black person. i've always admired and idolized white european and american cultures, especially french, british, and german cultures because they're more sophisticated, intellectual, sublime, royal, and of cours white. whereas my culture is only known for being the children of slaves who rebelled against their white masters and got punished for it with poverty, crime, political instability, primitive religious beliefs, and hatred from every white country. that's the people that i come from. we are seen as literal garbage by the rest of the world, especially by french and american people. all this has made attempted suicide twice. i hate the fact that bleaching products are basically not available anywhere but pale skinned people get to tan and have complexions like roasted marshmellows while i have to accept my dark complexion for the rest of my life, suck it up and deal with it or be called a crybaby. i wish i could buy lightening creams but my relatives would disown and humiliate me and call me crazy and i don't want to deal with any of that.

Hi wonderful DMs, So my 10th level party (5 players) is getting ready for a boss battle with a mega-Rakshasa and minions in 3-4 campaign days or 6-8 sessions. I’d like to drop overarching story clues toward the next challenge during this time but I need help figuring this out!
The story so far has centered around “The Circle of Slumber”— a group of 5 innocent NPCs in different parts of the realm that are in a constant sleep and being forced to dream of certain things by the BBEG. The BBEG ALSO controls a sleeping beholder, and his goal is to use the 5 NPCs special talents to force the beholder to dream a certain thing so it will become a reality.
BTW there are 5 slumberers because each slumberer has 2 eyes, so symbolically one eye for each eyestalk of the beholder, and the main BBEG manages the big eye and keeps everyone asleep via powerful magic and controls the dreams of the NPCs via a buffed up Dream spell.
Forcing the beholder to dream a certain thing is slow going as the beholder’s resistance is quite strong, even in its sleep. Also, in my canon the beholder must dream of the thing repeatedly for many nights to make it become a reality, hence allowing the whole situation time to evolve and make a campaign out of it.
Here’s my dilemma: The original BBEG, who put the beholder to sleep and set up The Circle of Slumber, is a wood elf and a powerful Undying Warlock of the godlike lich Larloch. The Lich Larloch is trapped in a Soul Gem but can exert some influence and communication from within. He has promised Elf BBEG to free Elf’s twin sister who is also trapped in the same gem, in exchange for retrieving the gem and freeing Larloch the Lich completely. Only Larloch’s black dragon can break the gem, but the dragon is long dead. Hence BBEG launched the beholder plan and is trying to make the beholder create the dragon again through dreaming it.
The party knew all this and it was the focus of the campaign through level 9. But they pulled some great shenanigans where they retrieved 2 humanoids in the circle of slumber but couldn’t wake them, so the Paladin was literally lugging around the 2 sleepers on her mount.
The party was in the desert so I had the local Rakshasa kidnap the two sleepers which the party guarded very poorly, and the Rakshasa tried to use the sleepers as leverage to get the party to do quests for him. However the party recognized the Rakshasa’s evil intentions and refused, and they left and left the sleepers with him. So the party has been preparing to return with reinforcements and rescue the sleepers and destroy the Rakshasa, and they are aware that meanwhile the rakshasa is trying to use the circle of slumber to make the beholder dream what the Rakshasa desires, which is for the entire desert to become a crimson garden.
So, trusted DMs who have read this far and understand the convoluted story, what happens when the party kills the Rakshasa? Here are some ideas I’ve thrown around, but… help, please?!
A- maybe the warlock Elf BBEG, who is known for scrying, shows up immediately after the battle to take advantage of the party in their weakened state and get his Slumberers back. Problems- could either be a TPK or wipe out my overarching bad guy too soon, if he doesn’t escape with the sleepers as planned.
B- maybe the Rakshasa has been negotiating with Elf warlock while the party has been preparing for the fight? They are in cahoots trying to accomplish garden in desert first using circle of slumber, and in return the Rakshasa has promised elf BBEG that rakshasa will free elf BBEG of his lich patron without elf losing undying life. That way, even after Rakshasa dies, elf remains the Big Boss. Problem- verisimilitude, not sure the guy would willingly share his circle of slumber, how do I make it make sense?
C-?????
TLDR: what happens after rakshasa dies, how do I keep the warlock elf as the BBEG and what was his relationship to the Rakshasa?
Thank you o thank you so very much.

I teach 5th grade. My students this year are wonderfully behaved, academically strong students. We get to do projects, read interesting books, and are often used as the example when talking about how to be. Next year I have 6 IEPs, and none of the non-IEP kids are above a 2nd grade reading level. I don't even know how I'm going to teach a fifth grade curriculum. Their current teacher has to read them every question on tests, has 3 different spelling tests of modified words, can't do journals, and basically had to teach them 1st grade. I literally do not know what I'm going to do. I've never had a class as low as the one I'm about to (both behaviorally and academically) and I'm seriously thinking about resigning over it. The IEP accommodations are already going to be hard enough 😭

Hi friends:) . So my name is Olivia and I was wondering if anyone if up for a chat? I am 15, just finished 10th grade and I am from the Charleston area. My friend group is pretty inconsistent right now, but I really enjoy meeting new people and having people to chat with. I’ve started a page, which will mostly be for selfies and photos of my life. My family loves to travel, and we try to go on a few vacations a year. I am an only child, but am super close with my family and my dog Maui! I also love photography, I’m pretty artsy overall, and am definitely a beach girl. So yeah, I won’t make this post super long but I’m open to any age, girls or guys, any sexuality, religion, etc. so feel free to reach out and send a message if you think we would vibe! 💕
