The Main Goal:
Well if you’re browsing this subreddit then much like me, you were alone this weekend and I’m sure you’d like to change that as much as me. I won’t lie, I am going through a rough part of my life right now. It’s difficult for me to find the energy for anything at the moment and I’m just really seeking affection in general, anything that will give me a push. I don’t want to be that person who brings everyone down but I could really use someone to talk to right now. I’d really like to find someone who’s similar to me so much to the point that we do everything together and talk about everything while not having to pretend to be interested. I want someone with whom we can mutually spew our emotions onto and have those feelings reciprocated. Not an emotional punching bag, but an emotional teddy bear to hug and cuddle until everything feels better as many times as we need. There’s people who I’m sure have told you the same, they’ll be there no matter how many times you need the support, no matter how many times the insecurities and bad thoughts come back but they don’t mean it. I will be the exception, I’m not so ignorant to think some nice words and tales of relating to you will magically forever heal whatever ails you then get mad when you seek the same support again. Mental ailments are rarely temporary and I don’t care about someone because they’re perfect, caring about someone means being there no matter how many times they need you to be. It doesn’t feel like a chore, it doesn’t get old, and it never will.

(2.a)
What I'm Seeking:
I will upfront let you know if I’m clicking better with someone else or if you’re the one, I’m not here to tread the sea of fish or keep my options open, I’m here for one singular person.
(2.b)
Relationship:
A relationship is difficult for me right now, it’s been nearly half a year since I got out of my last relationship and the reasons for it ending are partially responsible for how I’ve been feeling and why it’s so hard for me to seek the comfort I so desperately crave. I will tell you about it but for the sake of not treating the entirety of the internet as my therapist, it’ll be in private. I really need the comfort of intimacy and the warmth of someone who cares. I'm not going to feel better if I just sulk and don’t move on. This is my attempt to get better, I’ll admit I’m not great right now and I don’t expect you to be either. If we can help each other heal, then I’d be more than happy :) A relationship isn’t just being there for when someone’s at their best. Even if a relationship is hard at the moment, I do want a life partner and I don’t want to be alone. Things aren’t going to get easier without you so I don’t want to hesitate. I view my other as an equal, I don’t like categorizing us into specific roles. We take care of each other and treat each other how we like to be treated, whatever that is, it's as simple as that. I don't care if you're "successful" or not, living simple lives with our days filled with love is the ultimate measure of success to me.
(3)
Personality:
(3.a)
On the Surface:
As you can tell I can be rather… stoic but that’s largely due to my current stressors, I truthfully am goofy and fun loving but I just can’t find it in me right now. I want to return to that but without someone to light up my world it’s been difficult to just have fun and enjoy stuff. I’m definitely more introverted, you won’t catch me at any parties or really outside at all. I definitely prefer being home though the occasional outing is not out of the question and one day I’d like to travel to other countries because I think that kind of perspective is important.
(3.b)
The Core of My Being:
I like being a spectator to it all and if we bear witness to humanity burning or its miraculous recovery, I want to watch it with you. I enjoy watching humanity advance, less so when it devolves but I want to watch it to the end nonetheless. I’m both a realist and someone who lives with my head in the clouds dreaming of scenarios or worlds that don’t exist. I’m saying that I enjoy a good narrative and can suspend my disbelief to enjoy something but you won’t catch me refusing vaccines or ignoring blatant facts for the sake of some pseudo science or witch doctor’s remedy. I’m an atheist but I do not rule out existence after death, not because I’m agnostic but because due to the nature of potentially infinite time at some point after how many googol years with a googol amount of 0s after that, something’s bound to replicate your consciousness perfectly at some point. It’s actually a really fascinating topic I like talking about. If infinite time and infinite possibilities exist, does non existence exist? Though that’s an awfully existentially dreadful thought process considering the ramifications of infinite existence and infinite possibilities during said infinite existence. I would say I’m confidently left leaning and I don’t think I could truly get along with anyone right leaning, at least America’s definition of right leaning. Left and right seems to have just become; do people deserve to suffer or do they deserve to live good lives? Being political is not something I expected to become but how can you not be when crimes against human rights are being passed on a daily basis and at the end of the day, everything’s political. Oftentimes I imagine the perfect moment as relaxing with my significant other playing games or cuddling in a cold room under blankets.
I value that special someone above all of the existential thoughts, the bad of the world, the good of the world, they practically become my world. So many worries wash away when I’m with them. I don’t know if that’s the defense mechanism my brain created to not feel bad 24/7 but if it is, I’m currently without it.
(3.c)
Insecurities:
I talk of philosophy and politics here but really I spend most of my time just playing games, watching stuff, and trying to not be sleep deprived. I’m also nowhere near as well spoken, heck sometimes I feel like my speech is broken. I won’t claim to be something I’m not, I sit at home while I complain about the world doing nothing about it wishing I had someone here with me. I’m not noble nor do I really want to be, I have morals I uphold but much like most other hypocrites I acknowledge that my comfortable life is built on the suffering of others without doing anything about it. Why? My sleep problems? Am I depressed? Is that why I have no energy to do anything? Do I just think nothing I could do could help? I can’t nail it down myself, maybe it’s a mix of everything, maybe I’m just a bad person. I have always told myself that if I had wealth I would help people but if I get that kind of wealth will I just become a wealth hoarder who tries to justify my riches as something I earned rather than something given to me through incredibly lucky circumstances? If I do help people is it because I’m a good person or out of guilt? Will I die alone? I feel like I drive everyone away with my clinginess, I get paranoid often and need reassurance often. It’s something I want to work on, something I’ve been trying to work on. Hearing that someone cares about me just never gets old. I value self awareness even if it’s painful.
(3.d)
Socializing:
I’m definitely a socially anxious/awkward mess, especially around strangers. I do feel a large amount of anxiety in public, people can’t tell by looking at my face since I kind of go stone faced in an attempt to block everything out but yeah you’ll notice that if we go out in public. Growing up my pediatrician said I was probably autistic, never got a formal diagnosis so that’s just great. But yeah that explains why I can’t make eye contact with people, I kinda just stare at the ground and avoid their gaze at all costs. A lot of these social struggles go away to a great degree once I know you for a bit but yeah I apologize for how terrible I am at socializing at first. Don’t let my social struggles fool you though, I love cuddling and being close with my person.
(3.e)
Sexuality:
I am a heterosexual male, though I’m not very masculine like at all. I may even be a bit feminine sometimes. Not that I believe any activity or manner of acting belongs to a gender but I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m definitely super affectionate and love it when my partner is too. I am open to dating demi people but I do have a libido so I don't think asexual would work out.
(4)
Interests:
(4.a)
Video Games:
As stated before, I do spend a lot of my time playing video games. It’s been hard lately with me having no energy but I really do want to play more games and have a good time playing them with you! I primarily play on PC though I do have a switch. I’m primarily into platform fighters, roguelikes, open world, survival, and sandbox games. As for single player story games, I enjoy watching them through twitch or youtube but for the most part I don’t play them myself. I’d watch you play them though!
Here’s a list of games we can play:
-Minecraft (Java)
-Risk of Rain 2
-Gunfire Reborn
-Roboquest
-7 Days to Die
-Phasmophobia
-Rust
-Unturned
-Bloons TD 6
-Platform fighters: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Slap City, Multiversus, Flash Party, Fraymakers
Whatever you want to play I’ll give it a shot! I will say that League bores me to death but I’ll play it for you :) I try to avoid MMOs, not because I don’t like them but because of how addicted I can get to them. I enjoy learning games in-depth so MMOs can be a fast track to addiction.
I recently got Kerbal Space Program 2 and ehhh not really worth it right now but hopefully later it will be? I’m super excited for Tears of the Kingdom! In the far off future I’m excited for Rivals of Aether 2 which is a platform fighter releasing in 2024, let me know of your most anticipated releases and I’ll see if I could play them with you!
Also I never got into FPS games but I could totally see myself playing like CoD with you or Escape From Tarkov. Any FPS really, I’m down.
I am a fan of Pokemon but with how things have been lately I don’t know how long that will last. Pixelmon is a common Pokemon mod I play for Minecraft if you want to play that! Also if I say I want to play something with you I mean it but there are often times when no matter how much I want to I'm just drained and can do little more than lay in bed so please don't think I'm making an excuse.
(4.b)
Science:
I really enjoy keeping up with the latest advances in pretty much everything, it could be biology, technology, astronomy, anything! I love seeing progression and I love talking about it! Really I could go on and on about what I’m obsessing about that day. I particularly love technology, ask me for my laptop specs I dare you. When I was little I always wanted to be a scientist of any kind but then insomnia and fear of college stuff hit me like a truck aaaand that’s the end of that dream.
(4.c)
Anime:
You got me, I like anime but I’d like to think my tastes are benign.
Here’s some of my favorites I can list from the top of my head:
- To Your Eternity
- Vinland Saga
- Spice and Wolf
- Re:Zero
- Mob Psycho
- Dr. Stone
- Attack on Titan
- Spy x Family
- My Hero Academia
- Ranking of Kings
- Demon Slayer
Okay I can go on and on but I will say I don’t like pointless fan service and the spamming of cliche anime moments. I mostly enjoy action and anything well animated if it doesn’t have a potato story. Heck Demon Slayer could be my top 3 out of season 2’s animation alone. I don’t watch slice of life often or romance but I would with you!
(4.d)
Misc:
I’m not going to go on and on about the tiniest little things when the main ones are covered but I’ll watch pretty much any show with you and anything really. I like random youtube videos that explain some kind of lore or mystery, sometimes mini documentaries too.
As for food I looove sushi and I’m a sucker for fast food. Okay and candy, definitely candy.
I used to play tennis but haven’t really had the opportunity nor friends to play it with and I’m way too socially anxious to seek it out. Also I will say that when we move to something like discord I type waaaay more casually. I’m not going to expect long paragraphs back and forth like we’re writing English papers for each other, I do enjoy long conversations but seriously don’t worry about having to put the utmost effort into every response, I just like making good first impressions I guess.

(5.a)
My Physical Characteristics:
I’m 5’8 (172cm), 128 pounds (58kg), with curly brown hair and blue eyes. I like keeping my hair long in the winter and cutting it in the summer. I’m pretty slim in general so if you’re looking for someone large, that’s not me. I don’t work out but my work is pretty physical so at least I’m not totally inactive. I don’t have the urge to work out or gain muscle but I do want to maintain my slim figure so if I start losing control of that I’ll work out. I like to keep my face shaved because I don’t think I look good with a beard/mustache so if you’re into those I apologize. I have an average amount of body hair? I’d prefer to be completely shaved but it’s easy to lose motivation with that battle, if you prefer shaved then I’d have no problem complying. Anyways here’s what I look like: https://imgur.com/a/MZZgf2t
(5.b)
My Physical Preferences:
Having physical preferences makes me feel shallow, if I could make myself not have them I would but unfortunately that’s now how that works. I don’t care if you’re shorter or taller than me and I don’t care if you weigh more or less than me. All I ask is that you’re slim-average weight. I would never ask for someone to be something I’m not. I don’t care about tattoos or piercings.**(6)Expectations of You (Relationship Only):**I am not looking for someone “exciting” or someone to “keep me on my toes” I’m not looking for someone to cater to my every whim or anything like that. I don’t care if you’re “boring” or if you aren’t “successful”. I know it’s a common thing for people to not want a “boring” relationship and to seek something argumentative or something with constant challenges but I just want to be with you. During the exciting times, the boring times, and everything in-between, all of it will be great with you! Maybe we do argue sometimes or maybe there will be challenges but that will never be something I purposefully seek out and I don’t want that to be something you seek out either. I will not play tricks on you and I will not play mind games, I expect the same from you. We all have personal measures of success we may or may not have lived up to but what I care about most is our commitment to each other. If we have each other we can get through tough times, near the ends of our lives I want us to look back and feel that this life together was worth more than anything. That’s not saying I want us to be haphazard, I don’t want us to make poor decisions for the sake of yolo and I want us to always be rational, especially with each other. I want you to be someone I can trust to make decisions and weigh the options with a level head, I’ll try my best to live up to the same for you. Most of all I want empathy, understanding, someone to feel the utmost comfort and trust in.
(7)
Living Situation:
Currently my life is pretty relaxed, I work 3 times a week as a night shift stocker. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my roommate but we’re looking to move into someplace larger by the end of the year if everything works out. The internet is weirdly great for Ohio too like I have fiber and later this year we’re supposed to be getting dedicated fiber so that’s neat. I’m not attached to Ohio so the ultimate goal living location wise is probably moving to a country that won’t send you into a lifetime of dealing with the repercussions from one medical emergency.
(8)
Deal Breakers:
Might as well make this simple and make it a list.
- Anti-vaxxers
- Unironically believing astrology
- Right wingers
- Hard drugs (occasional 420 and alcohol is fine, may even join you)
- Wanting children, there was a time when I was younger when I wanted children but with the state of the word that’s a definite no and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. I’d love a stress free life with as much time with you as possible.
- Homophobic
- Transphobic
- Racist
- Super Religious
- Don’t be a bigot and don’t deny facts.

Closing Remarks:
Well you made it, I was thinking that finding someone I’d be willing to put a lifetime of effort into at least required this much effort. If I think of anything more I’ll update the post. Also about timezones, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. I don’t have a sleep schedule and I have most of the week off from work so it really doesn’t matter.
I request that in your response you do put effort into it, it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as long as this but at least enough so I know that you read this and enough about you so I know why you saw potential compatibility. I will seriously read all of it and respond the best I can. I do also request a pic included in your response (sfw please) or one soon after we start talking to prove identity, I’ll send identity proving pics too. As long as this post is up, you can send a reply!

Brace yourselves, this is gonna be a long one.

I don’t care if you’re “boring” or if you aren’t “successful”. I know it’s a common thing for people to not want a “boring” relationship and to seek something argumentative or something with constant challenges but I just want to be with you. During the exciting times, the boring times, and everything in-between, all of it will be great with you! Maybe we do argue sometimes or maybe there will be challenges but that will never be something I purposefully seek out and I don’t want that to be something you seek out either. I will not play tricks on you and I will not play mind games, I expect the same from you. We all have personal measures of success we may or may not have lived up to but what I care about most is our commitment to each other. If we have each other we can get through tough times, near the ends of our lives I want us to look back and feel that this life together was worth more than anything. That’s not saying I want us to be haphazard, I don’t want us to make poor decisions for the sake of yolo and I want us to always be rational, especially with each other. I want you to be someone I can trust to make decisions and weigh the options with a level head, I’ll try my best to live up to the same for you. Most of all I want empathy, understanding, someone to feel the utmost comfort and trust in.

Living Situation:
Currently my life is pretty relaxed, I work 3 times a week as a night shift stocker. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my roommate but we’re looking to move into someplace larger by the end of the year if everything works out. The internet is weirdly great for Ohio too like I have fiber and later this year we’re supposed to be getting dedicated fiber so that’s neat. I’m not attached to Ohio so the ultimate goal living location wise is probably moving to a country that won’t send you into a lifetime of dealing with the repercussions from one medical emergency.

Deal Breakers:
Might as well make this simple and make it a list.
- Anti-vaxxers
- Unironically believing astrology
- Right wingers
- Hard drugs (occasional 420 and alcohol is fine, may even join you)
- Wanting children, there was a time when I was younger when I wanted children but with the state of the word that’s a definite no and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. I’d love a stress free life with as much time with you as possible.
- Homophobic
- Transphobic
- Racist
- Super Religious
- Don’t be a bigot and don’t deny facts.

Closing Remarks:
Well you made it, I was thinking that finding someone I’d be willing to put a lifetime of effort into at least required this much effort. If I think of anything more I’ll update the post. Also about timezones, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. I don’t have a sleep schedule and I have most of the week off from work so it really doesn’t matter.
I request that in your response you do put effort into it, it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as long as this but at least enough so I know that you read this and enough about you so I know why you saw potential compatibility. I will seriously read all of it and respond the best I can. I do also request a pic included in your response (sfw please) or one soon after we start talking to prove identity, I’ll send identity proving pics too. As long as this post is up, you can send a reply!

\Sadly, due to lack of general interest, this game has been canceled for the foreseeable future. \**
What happens when you take Kenshi, smash it into Xenogears, set in on Arrakis with a cyberpunk ethos and set it to a Delta Blues soundtrack? A World After Man is what happens Drifter.
Set in a genre bending fever dream of a GM with too much imagination and more time on their hands than is healthy for a human, A World After Man is the deranged love child of a punk polycule that’s been snorting Horizon Zero Dawn like it's the 1980s. Part Mecha Mad Max, part Dune raised by Borderlands. 110% Awesome Word Salad!
Set far in the future, the world as we know it has long since crumbled under the assault of beings known as Elementals. And despite our attempts to fight the onslaught of giant forces of nature given life, we lost. Game over man, game over. But somehow we survived. Scraping out an existence in new world hostile to life, humanity is re-building the gears of progress by raiding the left overs of our ancestors. Trying to resurrect a glory that never existed in the first place. A major theme? In D&D! Unthinkable!
This ain’t DnD kids. This is ICRPG, the only system with the power level to take on a project this crazy. We got mecha, we got magic, we got resource management, we got survival, we got a classless system where YOU get to decide if you wanna play a hardlight katana wielding sand ronin with a chip on each shoulder, or a fire bending cyborg trying to awaken Gaia, or even a tinker drone operator that drops Rods from God like the easter bunny pops out pastel eggs. Feel the power Kronk!
“But StarCrossed, this sounds hard!” Nothing easy is ever worth doing Drifter. But rules light is how we roll in the Drifting Sea, I’ll get you up to speed in twenty minutes tops. And like any good survivalist we’ll learn by doing. Most of ICRPG you’ll already be familiar with: Six Stats, roll a d20 plus bonuses to meet or beat the target number. Now you’re 50% of the way to learning the how to play ICRPG.
“But Resource Management is too much!” We’re table top gamers, not gym rats! What the fuck is a macro anyway? You got Supply? You got food and water for a day. “But I’m out of bullets.” Use your spear, or take one of those Supply and convert it to a Mag. “And my armor’s broken.” Take that Mag and make Parts and have your Tinker patch that shit up. Now you’re 60% of the way to learning to survive the Drifting Sea. “But StarCrossed, I don’t want my PC to die!” Everything dies Drifter. But death is rarely the end. Another major theme! Somebody shut them up!
“What does a Drifter do? Do we take macguffin to the Elf Kingdom to stop the dark lord?” The fux an elf? This is a sandbox Drifter, both literally and figuratively. Wanna raid thousand year old military installations guarded by deranged AI, head out into the Drift and find em. Wanna hunt Sand Pirates and bring the Red Flag to justice? Ahoy matey! Wanna bring the Shogunate to its knees and establish an empire? Sic semper tyrannis mutherfuckers! The worlds your oyster and your oyster’s got claws! The future is in your hands! Oh god, another theme, they’re unstoppable!
“But how much roleplay does it have? 30%? 40%.” 183 Proof. Thats right right babe, this is pure unfiltered roleplay, shot in your veins like the sweet sweet kiss of a Sickle Tail’s stinger. We got good roleplay, we got bad roleplay, we got heartfelt roleplay and we got silly roleplay, we got GM sucker punching you in the gut and ripping your heart out while screaming for the avatar of the goddess of destruction roleplay. We got so much roleplay, I’m playing with my rolls right now! Stop looking you perv! Oh my god anot… no, never mind false alarm, that’s not a theme.
“Do you accept…” YES! Here on the Drifting Sea we take all types. The urath don’t care about the color of your skin when they're shoulder deep in your intestines. Any and all freaks, geeks, weirdos, nerds, outcasts and misfits are not only welcome, but encouraged! This Drift is an equal opportunity killer, and only by putting aside surface difference do we survive it… In short, I don’t care what dangly bits you do/don’t have or where you like be stuck/stick em, I don’t care about what color your skin is, or where you were born. I don’t care who you are, where you been, what you did, as long as you love me~.
When is it? Sunday or Saturday afternoon or evening in most equidistant time zone in the world. The Central Timezone. How many times is it? 3-4 times a month. When does it start? The last weekend of the month or first of next! What do you need? A mic, a web cam, an internet connection, a web browser, discord and a pc that is only half potato. And a willingness to tlearn and try new and weird things.
So are you ready to take on the Drifting Sea? Are you ready to make a difference? Are you ready to fucking rock! Well fill out the form below and slide that bad boy into my dm’s, cause its too thick for Reddit’s chat feature. Then afterwards strap-in and strap-on, cause we gonna fuck some shit up Drifter!

Like Bob, a mild mannered man from Ohio:

“Uh...uh H…”
“Speak into the mic.”
“Oh sorry. Uh, Hi. The Driftin…”
“Introduce yourself.”
“Oh like my name? Yeah. Sorry. I’m Bob. I started Drifting about a year ago. I was into accountancy before that…. Um.. I... that good?”
"Tell them what we did to you.”
“Yeah well, I was out in the desert um… the Drifting Sea when I saw these guys with this red flag. Anyway, they scooped me up and said I was conscripted. When I was in my cell, the GM had me roll Dexterity and I was able to pick the guards pocket. I swear I’ve never done anything illegal like that before. I’m not that type of guy, I swear. Please don’t tell the Peac…”
“Just get on with the story.”
“Anyway I sort of unlocked my cell and then just kind of… walked around a bit. Then sort of found myself in the gun room. Where I found this sweet minigun with ammo for days. It was heavy, but I did wrestling in highschool. Then I went to go give the Pirate Captain a piece of my mind. But when the whir of that gun started going, my blood got real hot and I filled that slaver piece of shit with five hundred rounds of steaming hot lead before turning it on his crew. Fuckers never fucking knew what hit them. They were screaming and yelling ‘Oh no, hes got a minigun. He’s killing us. Oh no we’re dead.’ Then I went back down stairs and freed the rest of the slaves. Now I’m Captain of my own Pirate Hunter vessel.”

Or what about Jorge from Texas?

“Say her name…. Say her name….say her name…”

Or what about Jada from York:

“So there we were with like six of those bitches surrounding us. The Ronin was injured, the Pilots Gear was broke down, and the Cultist was saying some crazy shit In the corner. But then I noticed the leader, he had this backpack… a plasma pack. So I got this crazy idea that I tell the GM. I roll Charisma and start pleading for my life, then when they come to cuff me I crit on a Str roll and rip the hose from the plasma pack and then crit on the damage and melt the entire squad in a single turn!”

Or Jorge from Texas.

“Say her name… say her name…”

Or what about Aref from Iran.

“So… that’s when I parked my Gear on top of the Peacekeepers Station. I was just gonna… you know… be a nuisance. But then I saw the vent… and you know, Jada hooked me up with the Weasel Cannon 8000 last session and I hadn’t used it yet…. I just couldn’t help myself.”

Or Jorge.

“Say her name… say her name… sa…. Medea.”
“Fuck fuck fuck!”
“Put it out!”
“Kill it ki…”
“Can’t bre…”

Over the past two months, Pennsylvania in the US has dealt with a series of chemical-related accidents in quick succession. These have been severe and significant events, often with extensive impact on surrounding communities.
Pennsylvania's natal chart¹
The chemical accidents:

The East Palestine, Ohio train derailment x PA natal chart for February 3. This was technically in Ohio but very close to the Pennsylvania border and affected many PA residents. A train transporting various toxic chemicals crashed, releasing some of said chemicals into the air, ground, and water supply, which was further compounded by a controlled burn to prevent an explosion.
West Reading chocolate factory explosion x PA natal chart for March 24. The R.M. Palmer chocolate factory exploded, killing 7 people and seriously injuring several more. Initial findings indicate that the explosion was caused by an issue with a natural gas pipeline, corroborated by the testimony of a survivor who reported that she smelled gas before the accident occurred.
Trinseo chemical spill x PA natal chart for March 24.² A chemical company in Bucks County accidentally spilled a latex finishing agent into the waterway, prompting the city of Philadelphia and several surrounding counties to send out an alert to residents the following Sunday that their water may not be safe to drink. Thankfully, with careful monitoring over the course of a few days, it was determined that the water supply would not be affected.
West Easton factory fire x PA natal chart for April 4. Residents reported hearing a very loud boom in the early hours of the morning before seeing a massive plume of smoke and flames erupt at a local manufacturing warehouse. Officials are still determining the cause of the fire, though there was originally some speculation that a propane company nearby was the origin (I believe this has been ruled out). There is some concern as one of the companies in the warehouse deals with dangerous chemicals used in hospitals, so air and water quality in the area is being closely monitored, and a hazmat team has been called in.

What stands out to me in the transit charts for all of these incidents is Uranus transiting right over Pennsylvania's AC, and I think that's clearly attributable to these sudden, destructive events. It's also making a fairly strong square to PA's natal Pluto in Aquarius, perhaps signifying the effect on the community. Interesting too that Pluto recently ingressed into the sign of PA's upcoming Pluto return.
This is my first attempt at making sense of mundane charts, and I overall have a lot to learn about astrology yet, so I welcome others' thoughts and corrections!
^{1I got Pennsylvania's birth time and location from} ^{this website}^{, which admittedly notes that the accuracy of these is in question.}
^{2I couldn't find a specific time for the spill; most sources just list the incident as "late" on Friday.}

As for what im into....I like Anime/Music/History/Games and movies although im always interested in trying things others like. I also really enjoy sleep calls.
Id like to say im very easy going and almost impossible not to get along with. As far as my personality goes.....im very goofy. I like to make others smile and laugh. If I can do that for one person each day i consider the day a success. I am a hopeless romantic who can be alittle corny.
I enjoy all the love languages but my favorite is quality time. I wanna know more about you! My picture is available upon request.

Hello, I'm an 18f from the US (Ohio), timezone is EST. Just hoping to meet new people!
A bit about myself...

I draw occasionally
Lately I've been getting into reading, and I'm interested in a variety of genres
I also enjoy watching films, I like horror (especially 80's/90's horror films) and action the most. However, I enjoy films of all varieties
I also like to cook!
I can talk about the music I like endlessly, I'm into hard rock and metal
I sometimes play video games, I'm on xbox
I especially enjoy deep conversations, but I'm willing to talk about practically anything

If you've read this far, you should send me a message! It would be extra great if you could introduce yourself

Hiya! Im looking for friends. And a relationship if it happens. Although im in no rush. I work 7pm to 7am EST as a care taker in an assisted living facility. This has left me with very few people to talk to.
Im mainly into gaming and watching things. Huge plus if you like sharing music and making playlists together! My main games right now are Smite/FFXIV/LoL (im bad at this one). Though I have many more. Just ask. Ill give any music. I love VC and sleep calls. Ive been told my voice is comforting and attractive. Its deep-ish. Im not shy at all in this regard. Im a sucker for soft light voice. Though that in no way is a requirement.
As far as my attitude/personality goes...im a very laid back and goofy person. Though i am a bleeding heart and a people pleaser. Im very attentive and respond quickly if available. Im not really a fan of reddit chat. My discord is Akiva#5408. Hey would you look at that! The suns up! Guess its time for bed. Perhaps ill see you later? Night night.

Witch's Hill, OhioAugust 28th, 1992
Witch's Hill is a town located in the heart of Ohio, notable for its yearly Halloween tourism thanks to the strangely ominous history and aura about the town - due to the town's very appearance, the locals expect tourists all year round. But some of the things that lurk in the darkness of this city aren't as welcoming..
As the rumors say, the town was home to their own Salem Witch Trials, over two dozen women lynched in the process. Most in town believe these to be wives' tales, but few dare to actually dig in search of truth. In reality, these events are only the tip of the iceberg compared to everything that was swept under the rug.
For whatever reason, you are drawn to this small town by the ever present vortex of fate, luring you in with mystery. What shall you uncover underneath the Witch's Hill?
Find out in the pilot episode of the upcoming TV series, "The Witching Hour", coming on August 28th!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Thank you everyone for applying! Me and the CoDMs got plenty of applications to choose from and we've made our picks. I wish everyone who didn't got in luck in their future campaigns! :)

Greetings, fellow Play-by-Post fans! I'm seeking 4 players for an asynchronous game, set in the fictional rural town of Witch's Hill, state Ohio. The game will focus heavily on solving mysteries, uncovering dark secrets, hunting monsters, and, most importantly, character drama.
This game will be run using the "Monster of the Week" system, based on the Apocalypse World. As the name implies, MotW focuses on episodic adventures similar to the famous TV shows The X-Files and Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Unlike D&D, this game relies very heavily on the narrative: combat, for example, focuses not on rolling dice to hit and to deal damage, but rather on using the monster's weaknesses against it while saving innocents. The system rewards players for creative thinking and punishes those who rely on nothing but dice rolls. Solving mysteries, interviewing witnesses, fighting monsters - All of it relies on you, not on the dice.
If you like what you've read just now, then you might be a good fit for the game! There are just a few more things to clarify before you can apply, though.
I'm from the GMT+3 timezone, so please only apply if you're not that far away - Sorry to everyone from the US.
We will be playing in Discord, using ApocaBot for dice. You will be able to play as any of the playbooks from the Core Book, as well as the Gumshoe and the Searcher from Tome of Mysteries.
I should also mention that this campaign is story-driven and sometimes picks up dark themes, so you're expected to be serious IC when needed, but OOC we like to fool around and crack jokes all the time. Some of the dark themes include amnesia, drugs, and a bit of gore.
Minmaxing and metagaming are also not tolerated; The same will go for IRL politics, discrimination of any sort, and NSFW stuff.

Phew! This was a lot. Fill this form down below and, if you're accepted, you'll hear from me within 1-4 days (at most).
[The Form]
And lastly, good luck! :)

I am just going to preface this post with a warning that this is gonna get pretty long and convoluted, and when you get to the end you will be calling me a freaking IDIOT for letting this stranger into my house and that I should pray to any God that will listen to me with thanks that it didn’t end worse.
I need both genuine advice and thoughts on what happened (if you make it to the end, the climax, where I am sitting now, dumbfounded) and also NEED this to stand as a cautionary tale. I read so many posts here where people have liked someone and not known they had BPD until they were dating and saw the signs, but this is a story of how a girl with BPD that I had NO romantic or sexual interest in pursued me.
You can read the story as a full doc here if reddit is too awk with multiple posts: google doc
I have changed some details for privacy reasons and am using a throwaway of course.
My name is Grace, I’m 28 years old and live in Australia. I’m a student and due to health reasons I do a lot of my classes online. I live with my Dad and my best friend Kai (same age, male, no romantic relationship but a very long term close friendship, we are basically twins). I’m a lesbian but consider myself to be on the aromantic spectrum, at least in so far as I don’t really experience a desire for dating/changing my life around to accommodate the potential of a partner in the near future. I’m very focused on my studies and creative pursuits.
This story starts in May of 2022. I was on a Discord server that is focused around a certain fandom, and one of the channels encourages us to share fanworks like art, writing, headcanons, this kind of thing that’s pretty common in those circles. I grew up in these kind of online circles on tumblr and twitter and all that cringy stuff, and since there are very few people I know locally that share my interests and I have reduced mobility after becoming ill in my twenties, a lot of my close friends I’ve made online. This includes Kai, who moved countries to live with me and chose to pursue his training in Australia to make that work. Like I said, we’re super close, and people who don’t know we’re both gay often mistake us for a couple (that, or twins, people are convinced we look alike lmao). It’s a very once in a lifetime relationship and I cannot imagine myself meeting someone that would change my priority which is maintaining a very comfortable and happy life with my best friend and my Dad.
After joining this Discord server in April or May, I started making some friends. They enjoyed some of the fanart I posted, we messaged a lot about fandom stuff, we gamed together, it was super fun. There was no need to get personal or anything as they were new online friends, we literally just interact about common interests.
One girl, for the sake of this lets call her Layla, is from Canada, a few years younger than me. She’s on a break from her studies because she’s considering changing majors and is going through a bout of pretty bad depression. She is the only one of my new friends who initiates DM conversations pretty constantly, doesn’t interact with us in a group setting (which didn’t seem too weird because maybe she doesn’t know too many people on this platform/is the kinda person who is quiet in group chats and channel conversations) - as you can probably guess, she is the person in question who has BPD. I don’t know this at the time.
I have had one semi-serious relationship in the past with a girl who was diagnosed with BPD, Jenna. Me and Jenna were very on and off, long distance, kind of immature of course because we were teenagers. I don’t need to get into the details of the years of splitting and re-connecting she put me through, but let’s just say it ended for good one fine time where she blamed me for suicide attempt and bombarded me with self harm photos. I was severely traumatized. Understandably enough.
Layla though, she seems nice at first. Nothing special, not in a mean way, just that I didn’t see her any differently than my other new online friends. We chat when I’m online, we have fun together, THAT’S how I socialize with people outside of Kai and my Dad because, let’s face it, it is pretty damn hard to get out when you have a chronic illness, let alone just after a global pandemic that has left my anxiety in a heap (immunocompromised + lost family members during the pandemic).
Layla is the first and only one of those friends to make constantly DM’ing a thing. She must be lonely, I figured, whatever. But she is unique in that she makes it PERSONAL. Within a week, she has dumped on me that she just got out of a long term relationship with a girl, has referred to me as her best and only friend, and has found an excuse to move interactions off of Discord. She wants to follow me on twitter, she wants to play iMessage games with me, blablabla.
Socially awkward Grace being Grace, I don’t know how to say no. You’ll find that Layla has a way of backing people like me into a corner as the story progresses. I know I’m an idiot, I’m cringing as I relive this.
Every morning I wake up to PARAGRAPHS upon PARAGRAPHS of messages on multiple platforms. She says things like she HATES timezones, she misses me, she’s thinking of me.
Layla seems like she has very little interest in the fandom we initially met in, blames it on her depression. What she DOES have interest in is NSFW fanworks. She uses things like my likes on twitter, bookmarks on a fanfiction website, stuff I reblog on tumblr, to find out what NSFW fanworks I’ve been perusing and uses these to make our conversations sexual.
A brief outline will follow of our initial interactions. Please keep in mind this happened in the first 2 weeks.

Moves interactions off of Discord entirely, mainly to platforms that support longer form messages and are more personal.
Trauma dumps childhood abuse, abuse in relationships, etc.
Tells me in detail about her horrible ex who “used” her financially (in hindsight, it has come to light that Layla seems to have been using finances as a power play to keep this girlfriend around, who is younger than her and a vulnerable person, ie. the perfect online friend to groom into a co-dependant LDR. Layla probably thinks I can be this person now. But she doesn’t know how much of a stubborn ass no bullshit bitch I can be, and I am SO glad I am.)
Before I go to sleep she asks me to “pick a topic” from a list she sends of Layla Life Stories, and she will tell me that story in DMs while I sleep and I can respond to it in the morning.
She never asks anything in return of course. She only wants to talk about herself.
If I don’t respond to EVERY SINGLE THING she says while I’m offline (she messages constantly. When I’m eating, sleeping, working, studying, trying to watch a movie with Kai, helping my Dad do something - she is ALWAYS messaging and posting sadfaces when I don’t reply. She bombards my twitter DMs if I retweet something and asks why I’m not replying on XYZ platform.)
I do not have a sexual interest in her, I am not attracted to her and just because we’re both lesbians does not mean it is ok for her to try get herself off with me with cyber sex. She sends me pics of her genitals, her boobs, she asks me for the same. She asks me to send swimsuit shots when I say I’m going to the pool. She gets mad when I say I didn’t take any - says gross things like “Didn’t Daddy tell you to take some for him? You’re a bad girl”.
She gets REALLY annoyed when I call her my friend. I’m only allowed call her Daddy, even outside of the sexual conversations that I am already uncomfortable with.
She becomes obsessed with me. My city is in her weather app, she searches things near my house on google maps and sends photos to me like OMG WHAT IS THIS, HAHA IS THIS YOUR HOUSE?
Uses the fact that my bday is in August and post takes a long time to get my address by the way, in fairness she does send a present, but I’m not sure that was worth her knowing where I live lmao.
Is just generally a gross person. She doesn’t shave her bodyhair but would expect me to shave mine “when” we meet up. She wouldn’t force me, just her preference!!
Tries to force me into a sub dynamic with her as my dom. In CONSENSUAL bdsm relationships I am a dom, so that won’t work for me, but she doesn’t care. She wants me to be a pretty little sub for her, even though I am definitely on the opposite end of the scale.
“You’re the only girl I’ve ever had eyes for”
Post notifs on for me on every app
Tells me that she finally “deleted the tracking app she had linked to her ex girlfriends phone” because she is “over her”. WHAT THE FUCK? WHY DID YOU TRACK YOUR 18 YEAR OLD GIRLFRIENDS PHONE??
I use they/them pronouns, she decides they’re too difficult “yeah i’mma just call you she, you’re my baby girl after all”
“I only want to make you happy” “I would do anything to make you happy”
Does not respect my anxiety triggers. “I have something to say but I’ll tell you later” “guess what i did!” as opening messages when I have SEVERE OCD? Which I have specifically told her? I told her to stop sending messages like that. She doesn’t.
Decides she always wanted to spend Christmas in Sydney. I live near enough to Sydney. Hmm. This becomes “I thought maybe you’d travel in to hang out with me and we could go to a hotel if you wanted or just chill”. No. I do not want to.
Sending herself anonymous messages on curiouscat and tumblr that are basically like “omg ur so hot i want you” to jealousy bait me. It didn’t work - so she then just assumes I’m jealous and messages me like omg don’t worry about the anons bae, I only have eyes for you!
When I tell her of some things that my mental health did to me including some REALLY ugly symptoms like violent outbursts (pre-medication, I’m getting better, I’m not an angel by any means but the only victim of my bad mental health has been myself and Kai, and I am fully aware that I have a vicious tongue) and alcohol dependency. Layla responded to these with “aw my little fighter” (in response to me punching walls, smashing Kai’s phone and getting in his face) and “thats so cute” (in response to me favoring alcohol to food and shelter for a period of two years)
she said “fate” brought us together and gave the dumbest examples - her bus passed a shop or business van or something called Amazing Grace (dang, where could they have gotten that?) or she talked to a client at work with the same last name as me (AND THEN MADE A COMMENT TO THEM THAT “AW THATS MY FUTURE SPOUSE’S LAST NAME, WE’LL BE TWINS! OR SOMETHING LIKE?????? WE WERE NOT DATING. All she had done at this point was force her nsfw pics and thoughts into all my inboxes and get mad when I wouldnt respond, and any time I did to placate her it was with one word answers and I would be completely detached, and she would act like it was the best sex she ever had. “I’m so obsessed with you and it’s your fault for making me cum”)
Kids names conversation. I don’t want kids. She pushed me to say what names of hers I liked and what ones I liked, when I relented and was like “well in my childhood diaries I had some written down like xyz” and then she MADE FUN OF THEM because they were “too religious”?
Complained about all the stupid financial decisions she made in her previous relationship like “being forced” to buy VIP tickets for a concert, building a custom gaming set up for her, visiting her (p sure she lives on the west coast of the USA so quite a distance)
Complained about said ex being autistic. I am also autistic. Complained about autism aligned behaviors of hers that she hated, but when I pointed out that I get her ex gf because I act like that too, she quickly went WELL IT WOULD BE CUTE FROM YOU!
Immature handling of their break up, said that her ex was still pestering her to call her every day and game with her and was jealous of her new friendship with “that Grace girl”. Somehow I think that was fabricated.
“I would lose my life if you made new friends”
“Have you told your family and friends about us / I have been gushing about you to my Mom”

I set boundaries with Layla two weeks into these behaviors. She said “Thanks for telling me and thanks for not blocking me” and says she’ll “try her best”
She continues for another week or two.
I set boundaries a second time. She tells me to chill and she’ll stop. I warn her that I will block her next time she makes me uncomfortable.
I should have followed through.
I did my absolute best to be kind and get rid of her at the same time. Continue talking to her as casually as I do to other online friends. I let Kai in on the loop just before my first callout where I set boundaries. It was his insistence that she was acting insane and was showing signs of BPD love bombing while I showed him her messages/interactions with me. He knows everything that happened and has been privy to every message and voice note since that initial first two weeks as a safety precaution and second set of eyes. I don’t think Layla was aware of this, which was good.
I felt like Layla had me on a pedestal, like she had these fantasies about me and our life together which had no grounding in reality. I TOLD her I did not want a relationship with her or anyone. I told her I am not comfortable with sexual interactions except for a very basic surface level of “oh this art is really nice” and the art is of an anime couple kissing or something like? But just because I’ve written some NSFW one shots and drawn some NSFW art for the fandom, she was treating me like a cyber sex doll on demand, except with the added joy of her deciding she was in love with me.
She did things that made me think she was deliberately trying to put roots down in my real personal life. Offering to pay for a taxi for me when I missed a bus, offering to help pay for a medical bill she assumed was “stressing me out” (I was in pain from having a wisdom tooth removed and didn’t go online for a day, which she took as me stressing because I don’t have enough money to pay for it?? Like girlie no I’m just high?)
Texts like “goodnight baby girl, you’re mine <3” (this happened after at least one boundary conversation)
My line of defense here may have been incorrect but as someone who has a fear of being seen as rude, bossy, aggressive, mean (instilled in me through a bad relationship with Jenna and a traumatic experience I had with a manager at work, I used to be a teachers aid at an elementary school, who insinuated that me being a lesbian with short hair made parents uncomfortable with me being good with kids. So naturally, I have a massive complex about seeming larger than life because society makes women who aren’t skinny feminine girls feel like shit) - I decided to simply ignore her. I would only interact with her messages that were normal.
There is so much that happened in those initial few weeks that were red flags. Kai did push me to cut contact, but honestly, I was scared. He validated that Layla seemed dangerous based on stories about her life that he recognized as probably being twisted to make her the victim. She says she was blamed for a physical assault at high school that she wasn’t the perpetrator of, and she ended up dropping out because the rumors were so bad, when it sounds like what actually happened was she was expelled and forced to finish her credits online). There are a lot of stories like that which she told completely willingly to me, as if it wasn’t very easy to see that she was trying to play the victim.
If every story she has told me is flipped to make her the victim, then she is a very scary and potentially dangerous person. Maybe this goes beyond BPD into psychopathy. But the issue is, I have always learned psychopaths or sociopaths can come across as charming in real life when they want something.
You will probably see why this is relevant towards the end.
My saving Grace (pun intended) came in the form of other women. And boy, did it take a while (in the grand scheme of the timeline at least) for her to even flirt with people that weren’t me. I would constantly encourage her to put herself out there when the semester at college started, why would she try and put all her eggs in one basket (me) and pray that I’d fall in love with her? But she insisted she only had eyes for me. Sighs.
There were a few girls that came along. First there was a couple (lets just call them H&M because they aren’t really relevant, but they were both online friends, they were dating each other) - Layla was friends with both of them, and they had constant drama. On and off crazy twitter dating drama. I am 28 years old, I gave NO SHITS. But Layla would tell me about it all the time, including her sexcapades with M while H&M were “off” for an hour. Again, cyber sexcapades, I should clarify.
Apparently one day M put Layla and H in a GC to dramatically announce which one of them she “chose” (I think H had asked her to choose but usually people don’t make it a performance, whatever, M was insane clearly). She picked H, Layla was like I kinda care but kinda don’t, and as far as I know they gradually stopped talking.
Then there was Y, who Layla told me was the love of her life (they had one conversation while I was sleeping) and they were going to meet up in Sydney (yep, Y is Australian!) and road trip around Aus together in December. I said oh cool. Enjoy. Nothing to do with me, y’know? I was just praying she could stay fixated on Y.
Y lasted less than a week. I asked how things were going one day and Layla was basically like “I don’t know…………….. about Y…………… she’s kinda… I don’t know what it is… too intense?”
WHICH MADE ME LAUGH I AM NOT GONNA LIE.
Y was too intense, and that didn’t matter, because… get ready for third female lead in this terrible movie! Here comes Mara!
Mara was freshly 18 and met Layla the same way I did. Within days, Mara and Layla were dating. And she love bombed Mara HARD. Gifts, paying for hair appointments, helping her buy stuff for her university dorm move in day. Facetimed every night.
Mara was kind of a strange one in a sense because things were going so well until they weren’t. Yes, by the way, Mara was going to school in Sydney. The plan was that she would visit Mara at her dorms in Sydney in December for a few weeks. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES? I don’t understand why she has been trying so hard to orchestrate this December trip to Sydney. I know you can look at this post and say it’s because she clearly wanted to see me in real life for whatever reason, but it gets weirder. I promise.
The problems in their relationship start arising around Mara’s uni move in day. For one, Layla gets upset when Mara doesn’t text her while she’s out shopping and packing. Obviously Mara is busy, why doesn’t Layla understand that?! I think Mara tried to get rid of Layla by faking a psychotic break down (not the most genius of ideas as it just gave Layla an opportunity to oh poor baby her) but man, Mara went in HARD with the (probable) act of her having a schizophrenic breakdown and saying how demons were controlling all the acts that she was doing and she could see puppet strings on everyone's heads because they were being controlled by angels. Idk. Maybe she was writing a cool ass fantasy novel.
Mara and her demon master moved into university dorms the next day like nothing had happened anyway, lmao. Layla is crying to me because Mara doesn’t want to spend all day texting her during freshers week. Understandable, in my opinion.
Eventually Mara cracks and says that Layla is too intense for her, she does like her but she feels she is too young to get into a serious LDR, why can’t they just know they like each other and get to know each other slowly? Mara doesn’t want to tie herself down to exclusivity with a fucking psychopath from Canada, she is 18 years old and still discovering her sexuality. That is understandable. I told Layla this. Kai told Layla this. Layla said Yeah, I guess, and continued to be in this quasi-relationship with Mara.
Mara assumed this meant Layla respected her boundaries. Mara goes to freshers parties, she kisses boys, you know, the stuff a lot of new uni students do during freshers (it aint for me, but to each their own, I don’t believe Mara did anything wrong). Layla watches her instagram stories all night long, and bombards her with texts. WHY ARE YOU WITH THIS PERSON, YOU ARE FUCKING THAT PERSON AREN’T YOU, YOU JUST WANT TO BE A SLUT THAT’S WHY YOU WONT COMMITT, I KNOW YOU’RE OUT YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE WITH YOU TEXT ME BACK, WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION. All that kind of shit.
Mara does not answer the phone when she calls and calls and calls. Mara does not want to answer the phone when she’s home at 4am after a party. Mara does not want to have another serious discussion with Layla. She has set her boundary and knows once should be enough. I am very glad in hindsight that she was the way she was with Layla - sure, it made Layla mad, but once Mara cuts her off, she doesn’t retain any emotional power over her.
Layla somehow manages to play the end of her relationship with Mara in a way that makes it look like Layla is the one that cuts her off, not the other way around. It is almost genius.
This gist of it here is that she continues talking to Mara, pretends she is ok with her boundary, cries to ME about how jealous she is of this Mark guy that Mara likes, etc etc etc. Boring, unrelated. She is operating under an assumption that Mara will come running back to her when she discovers Mark is a fuckboy (he was).
There is also this other girl that Layla is talking to and she wants to have cybersex with her but thinks it would be cheating on Mara, by the way, so maybe she was mad at Mara for actually going through with partying with some boys. I dunno. Whatever.
And then one day, Layla starts threatening suicide.
She does this a lot and I have told her multiple times how triggering it is (my ex gf Jenna gave me enough trauma) - I only ever say “Do you need me to call an ambulance or the police” and she ALWAYS gets so fucking angry and says “Don’t you dare ever call anyone for me”.
Her having this weird specific thing that makes her snap is my golden ticket to ending these suicidal conversations. But this one specific day, she says her Goodbyes to me, and then drops off the face of the earth for 24 hours.
I panic because I think she has actually gone through with it. Me and Kai are on edge messaging Mara, messaging her ex from the west coast, texting Layla herself on every platform. She has genuinely turned off her phone judging by it going straight to voicemail and her WhatsApp status showing her as last online around the time she dipped.
Mara and some of Layla’s online friends reply and are like no I haven’t heard from her. I was the only one who got the suicidal spiel.
Her west coast ex replies and is like lmao don’t worry she does this all the time, I’mma call her Mom.
Within SECONDS of her doing that, Layla turns her phone back on. She acts mad at me for contacting her ex, and says she wasn’t killing herself, she just needed some space.
A few hours later, she sends “letters” (long ass messages formatted like a legitimate Dear xyz suicide letter??) to me, to Mara, and I think maybe to someone else but I have lost track of Layla and her harem of women.
Mine was by far the longest and most intense. It terrified me and Kai as we read it.
I wish I still had a summary of it but I didn’t back up my WhatsApp on my old phone and transfer, I might be able to retrieve it if I charge it up though. Basically the gist of it was (please forgive me for injecting humor, it’s a long ass story and I really do need help):
This is the hardest one to write :’( When I met you, I didn’t know anything about you. Then, we began speaking. I know you now, as Grace, the Australian babe and the love of my life! I wanted you. I wanted to marry you and have children with you. I have never felt so close to anyone. You were always so good to me. I fell hard. You are my soulmate. Etc.
Eventually, you had to become… just Grace. My sister. My best friend. My confidant. I will always love you and just be glad you’re in my life.
Uh yeah that’s as much as I remember but it was like 5k words of complete and utter manipulative deluded WAFFLE about stuff that didn’t even happen.
I responded to it because, at this point it is like October, she is someone I have known for months and as much as Kai and I see her as a potentially dangerous person, she is also a part of our lives and has inserted herself as a friend. We were genuinely concerned for her health and safety. She orchestrated this with her BPD ways, I know that, but even when you’re aware of what it looks like, it is a different ball game when you are IN it, when you are the FP.
My main interest here is for her to not kill herself. I know that she was hoping I’d confess my love in return and “save her” with my lovely love and romance and all that. When I didn’t do that, she felt the need to tell me that she had also sent a letter to one girl (I think it was the girl she was gonna cheat on Mara with??) and it made her “so sad” that she “offered to date her” to make her happy. WHAT?
Layla kinda shook off this huge suicide attempt drama after a day or two and continued to be depressed as normal and messaging me all the time. She doesn’t stop messaging Mara, even though she hates her, until she meets new flavor of the month.
We’re getting there, I promise. Before I get to new flavor of the month, Anna, from Melbourne, I need to say something really serious.
Layla used a private twitter account to tweet very scary things, expressing her anger towards how Mara treated her. She also told me that she was having violent fantasies about what she wishes she could do to Mara including killing her or making her feel a lot of pain.
When I took these threats seriously and threatened to call her psychiatrist and the police and also warn Mara, she said jeez I am only joking. But there was so much RAW hatred in those messages and those tweets. I feel sick knowing that.
I think Layla meeting Anna saved Mara from something awful, because she didn’t stop talking to Mara until Anna.
So it’s still like October, and Anna is a friend from one of her social medias where you can send anonymous messages to people. Anna reveals herself as an anon who has been sending her positive messages and confessing a little crush on Layla, and Layla latches to her. She tells me all about it of course. How Anna is “not sexy or hot exactly, but she is so cute” and all this. They follow the BPD pattern - intense conversations, naming kids, plans to meet, love of my life, only ever talks about Anna, etc. You all know the script.
One of the very intense things that she tells me she shared with Anna was a story I never heard about her forcing herself sexually onto her west coast ex girlfriend. They had been cuddling in bed, Layla tried to touch her, she said she wasn’t in the mood, Layla continued to kiss and touch her anyway.
To me this is straight up rape. Which makes me believe that she was probably expelled from school because of a true rape allegation, not “rumors” that she committed “undefined physical assault”. It is all adding up now. Me and Kai are SUS.
Anna seems to really like Layla, though, because they continue to talk, Layla is planning to propose girl-friendship on Christmas Eve when she visits her in Melbourne. She orders presents for her, writes a letter declaring her love and asking her to be official, she buys matching jewelry.
Anna is excited to meet Layla. Anna is an idiot, sure, but they split the cost of Layla’s flight to Melbourne and the cost of a hotel room for the time she’s there.
And gosh. What a coincidence because Layla has always wanted to go to Sydney, and her flight connects through Sydney. She wants to meet with me, and hang out for a few days before she flies back to Canada. I don’t have much time to talk to Layla at this point because I have taken on a project on a work from home basis that keeps me really busy for the month of like November to mid December, and I am so drained that I don’t have time to give her any energy. But she is so excited to come over and in a way I am just defeated and also genuinely believe that she has moved on to Anna. We make tentative plans. She can stay in our spare room and we can hang for like a few days doing touristy stuff just after new years.
Me and Kai retain our doubts in a way but also think maybe we’re being cruel, too cautious, taking things the wrong way. Maybe she is a mentally ill girl finally getting her bearings (I mean, when we met, she told me she couldn’t even leave the house or shower herself, and now she’s doing things like organizing a big ass trip, has savings, etc - she seems more stable and placated with the attention that Anna gives her, I guess) and someone we can be friends with.
Kai’s boyfriend (Minato) is visiting from Japan anyway, so it would be nice to have a little group to hang out with over the holidays. None of us have family plans for Christmas so it’s like a little misfit gathering, right?
Layla drops some really weird ass messages while I’m busy with my work project, like annoyed that I don’t have time to talk to her. When my project ends she is so relieved and is like I THINK IT WAS BAD FOR YOU ANYWAY MY BABY, YOU SEEMED SO TIRED AND IT WAS MAKING YOU SICK DONT WORRY I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU WHEN I’M OVER
I just roll my eyes because I don’t engage with anything past my boundary anymore, that tactic has been working as far as I know. I mean, she’s serial dating, sure, but as long as she’s not forcing herself on me and her interactions with other girls are consensual, I am happy.
The trip actually happens. She arrives in Melbourne and spends Christmas and New Years with Anna. Anna says yes about the “official” girlfriend proposal thing and cries and hugs Layla apparently. Then Layla tells me that Anna proceeded to have a breakdown about the distance and says she cannot do it. Anna goes to sleep after a very short conversation it sounds like, where Layla was basically like I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO TRANSFER TO SCHOOL IN MELBOURNE OR AT LEAST SYDNEY SO WE’RE CLOSER.
This is ridiculous financially and emotionally, no rationality at all, but Layla is frantically messaging me, Kai and Minato in our group chat, wondering how to go about it, whats the Australian cost of living, blablabla. I gently tell her that she should maybe sleep on it and discuss with Anna tomorrow, it is super sad that Anna feels this way but you need to have a realistic conversation about it.
Layla is simply like “Ok I just woke her and talked about it. We will do long distance until we finish school” LIKE?? YEAH YOU FUCKING WILL YOU WEIRDOS. There is no way that conversation with Anna actually happened, right? She was just creating drama and wanted to see how we reacted to the idea of her moving closer to me, right? I do not know what to think but that’s my impression right now.
Since Kai drives, he and Minato offer to pick Layla up from the airport when her flight gets in. This is the timeline of this visit to our place and what happened, and where we now find ourselves. Please, please shed some light:
Day Zero (before the visit): We decide to not do too much because we’re all broke after Christmas. We have plenty in common, we think, because we met on a fandom space. Eating junk food on the sofa and watching anime is good with all of us. It should be a chill cheap trip, maybe even good for Layla to have real friends outside of people she is trying to sleep with.
Layla makes some comments about Anna being said about their trip coming to an end. We offer solutions, like her staying with Anna for longer, or inviting Anna to stay with us too and we can all hang out. We have enough space and hell, we even offer to pay for her flight because we have an airline voucher. They turn it down and say they’ll deal with it, Layla doesn’t want to miss the trip to see us. They don’t give a reason for Anna not wanting to come along.
Day One (the arrival): Kai and Minato drive to the airport. Layla is like “do I need to pay towards gas” “do I need to pay for dinner” and Kai is kinda like. Well I guess not!! And buys dinner for the 3 of them. Kai describes Layla to me and is like “She is way quieter than she is online” but says it isn’t awkward and maybe she’s just sad bc she misses Anna.
They don’t talk much on the ride back to my place, Layla is always texting in the GC though. Pretty sure she never said a word to Minato but the three of us were texting in the GC while Kai drove, which is just weird because like… Minato was right beside her? And he insists she never even looked at him?
When they arrive, I meet them at the door, smiley and bounding out of course. I hug Kai, I hug Minato, I go to hug Layla and she half hugs me.
She is so quiet. I cannot read a vibe from here. There is NOTHING in her eyes. She genuinely is nothing like any kind of person I have ever met. I have been friends with people who are heavily depressed, who are drug dependant, who have various physical and mental issues, who have neurological and developmental issues, all that. I have NEVER seen anyone who has nothing readable on her face, in her eyes, anywhere. She puts her bags in the hall. She sits quietly. Conversation is like pulling teeth. She says “Yeah” “No” and “I dont know”. That is all. If I ask about Anna, I get a full sentence reply, sure, but that is all.
We try to watch TV together. We’re into the same music, but she doesn’t interact, sing along, ask questions, discuss what is going on with groups, etc. That was basically all we could think of doing to stimulate conversation with her and she will just… not. Offering to put on a movie seemed rude or pointless because she’s had a long day, it’s almost midnight at this point.
She doesn’t sit on the sofa with us, she sits away in an arm chair. Kai brings her bags to her immaculately made up guest room. He offers to bring her food and water up, she accepts water. We all decide to go to bed. This is around 1am.
Me, Kai and Minato can’t sleep because something feels really fishy. After about two hours I go into Kai and Minato’s room. Minato is showing off on Call of Duty and me and Kai just watch him and giggle a little.
We get a text from Layla in the group chat. (climax time) cont'd in comments for length

“It all seems like a horrible tragedy, with fate pressing on relentlessly to some destined end. Everything that one does seems, no matter how right it may be, to bring on the very thing which is most to be deplored.” —Bram Stoker, Dracula

Welcome to Barovia

Welcome to Barovia, the setting of Curse of Strahd. There's not much you need to know about Barovia before diving in; in fact, the less you know, the better! Mystery adds to horror, and it's certainly the last place to be written about in the history books. However, what you should know are the themes and tones to expect in such a setting, which are explained below.
So, what is Barovia? What exactly am I in for? Well...
It is a tense exploration of classic gothic horror tropes and monsters, from werewolves to vampires, ghosts, and more. It is a true sandbox, providing players with the freedom to make their own choices and build the kind of adventure they enjoy. It is an unabashedly character-driven campaign, giving your player character an incredible chance to shine and make their mark on the story your group tells.
However, it is also a brutal, stressful, and alienating experience. Your character will be trapped in a bleak, gothic land quite different from the world they know. The adventure contains several encounters and areas that will likely be far beyond your capabilities when you first encounter them. It does not provide routine or readily-available loot or magical items.
For a player who’s not expecting it, Curse of Strahd can suck. Really suck. Let me put it this way: if you want the freedom to engage in combat and exploration without worrying about the potential risks, this is very possibly not the campaign for you. Likewise, if you are potentially triggered by gruesome depictions of horror or psychologically disturbing relationships, or if you prefer a D&D campaign that features only victories or setbacks (rather than the potential for outright defeat), you might want to try a different module.

“How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.” —Bram Stoker, Dracula

You should play Curse of Strahd if you:

love gothic horror tropes, as well as themes of temptation and corruption
want to engage with a character-driven story that pushes you to develop relationships with multiple NPCs and factions, as well as set your own goals and pursue means of achieving them
enjoy roleplay, investigation, relationship-building, and deadly combat
enjoy facing an active, powerful, and personally antagonizing villain

Disclaimer: Curse of Strahd, as-written, is full of disturbing and mature themes, such as child abuse, murder, stalking, gaslighting, racism, references to torture of NPCs, mind control, cannibalism, situations referenced to have occurred between NPCs that parallel sexual assault, child death, references to stillbirth/miscarriage, abuse of those with disabilities or mental illness, animal cruelty, body horror, child abandonment, portrayals of alcoholism and drug abuse, potential references to incest between NPCs, implied necrophilia, and suicide. It is not for the faint of heart, and due to such themes, I ask that only those 18 and older apply.

Time

Sessions usually last 5 hours, though are occasionally 4 hours. Sessions are every Tuesday from 8pm EST to 1am EST.
If you're unsure of how to convert this timezone to yours, this is a wonderful tool I use when converting timezones: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com

Character Creation

Warforged, yuan-ti, lineages from VRGR (though these are obtainable as transformations in-game), and races that don't have the Humanoid creature type are not allowed, for reasons pertaining to both setting and balance, as well as the artificer class (setting), and peace domain subclass (balance).
I ask that no player characters start the game with an evil alignment. Note, this doesn't mean your character can't turn evil; the setting, themes of the game, and events that may transpire can certainly make this logical/reasonable if it's the direction you want your character to head in. Evil alignments are allowed and in-theme, however, if that's something you're interested in, it would work better as a shift than a starting point.
In addition, we use a few minor house rules, however, there is one major one specific to Curse of Strahd: Due to the significance of curses to the plot and themes of the campaign, the remove curse spell has been removed entirely. It is not available to be learned nor prepared, nor will spell scrolls of it exist. However, bear in mind the greater restoration spell is still available, including its ability to target/remove "One curse, including the target's attunement to a cursed magic item".
You'll be starting at level 6, and can be either an outsider who ended up in Barovia (and we can discuss how you got there), or a native of Barovia (in which case, there's also many options).

The Party Currently

Currently, the party consists of the following:
Ashanko (He/Him) - Neutral Drow-turned-Dhampir Monk (Way of the Shadow), who has an aura that unnerves the holy.
Celhath (He/Him) - Chaotic Good Shadar-kai Ranger (Fey Wanderer), who has gained a bit of a wine addiction.
Emery (She/Her) - Neutral Good Human Fighter (Eldritch Knight), who has the strongest moral compass of the group.
In addition, the party has adopted a Scottish Terrier named Lancelot, a fawn named Lucky, and have befriended a local noble whose family was overthrown.
We had another player, but unfortunately family and health issues led to her being no longer able to commit to a weekly game.

Platforms Used

We will be using Discord for voice chat (no video) and ambient music, and Roll20 for character sheets, rolling, and maps. I have quite a few sourcebooks on Roll20, so there's a decent-sized compendium available to you for ease. In addition, dynamic lighting will be used.
Seeing as animated maps are utilized throughout the majority of the campaign, and Roll20 lacks native support for such, we all use the free browser extension "VTT Enhancement Suite" (often shortened to "VTTES" in the community). Unfortunately, both the DM and players will need to have the extension enabled for animated maps to show, but it's fairly easy to set up and I don't mind walking anyone through it.

Meet the DM

Hi! I'm Apate (she/her), I'm 20, and I'm from Ohio. I've been DMing D&D 5e for 2-3 years now. I have a papillion, Gracey, and a black cat, KitKat. I'm horribly ADHD, and am a big fan of dark fantasy and gothic horror. I've ran three campaigns before, countless one-shots, and have played in/ran non-D&D systems.
I am no voice actor, so please don't expect any professional-sounding NPC voices. In general, I feel like I still have a lot to learn in regards to DMing, but I put a ton of work into prepping sessions and give it my all.
When I run official/WotC content, I heavily modify it. Though the basic story is still the same, as well as many major plot elements and the theme/tone of the campaign, some content has been altered to hopefully create a more immersive and enjoyable experience. In addition, quite a bit of third-party and homebrew content has been added for the same reason and to further add depth.
It should be important to note, that while Curse of Strahd does deal with many mature, dark themes, real-world discrimination among players (be it racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc) is never, under any circumstances, tolerated.

Application

If interested, please fill out this application I will look go through the submissions and pick people by late Friday/early Saturday.
https://forms.gle/NCEvfPh3N5GvgYc4A
And please feel free to apply no matter how new or experienced you are to D&D. Hell, if you've played in or ran in the module in the past, feel free to apply as well. Just be honest about it, and as long as you can separate player knowledge from character knowledge, all good; every party's Barovia is different, so I hope to provide an enjoyable experience regardless. :)
If you have questions, ask in the comments and I'll try to answer as soon as possible. Thanks y'all for taking the time to read this post, and have a great day!

This will be the last Things To Do list I post. I've enjoyed doing this as a hobby to learn more about Columbus, but as I get settled in here I need to focus my time on actually attending events. Thank you for everyone's support.

The severe weather we're having may cause some of these evetns to be rescheduled or cancelled so please double check.
This week we have the Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Ghosts of Christmas Eve at Nationwide Arena, WWE Holiday Tour, Columbus Blue Jackets, Holiday Blooms, comedians Matt Rife and Dale Jones at Funny Bone, and comedian Dale Jones for New Years Eve at Funny Bone.

And as always there's tons of live music, comedy, trivia and all kinds of other events to check out.

FARMERS MARKETS

Day	Time	Farmers Market	Begin Date	End Date
Daily	9am-7pm	The Witten Smith Farm Market	Year Round
Daily	10am-5pm	HTH Farm Market	Year Round

There are just way too many Farmer's Markets to list. Check out this list of all Farmer's Markets happening over the summer to find one near you.

MORE EVENTS! TOO MANY TO LIST!
^Or ^how ^I ^learned ^to ^stop ^trying ^to ^list ^every ^event ^and ^just ^give ^you ^guys ^the ^sources ^I'm ^working ^with.

If you're looking to volunteer Columbus Gives Back and Besa - Be the Good can give you dozens of events happening for a variety of causes.
The City of Columbus Community Center lists dozens of hobbies and sports events for children and adults that you can attend for free.
Columbus on the Cheap creates a weekly list updated every Wednesday night detailing tons of free or cheap events that can be done around town.
The Columbus Dispatch Entertainment section posts your "Best Bets" for the weekend every Thursday morning and the Columbus Navigator also provides news articles about upcoming performances. The Columbus Underground has their own event section to watch as well.
Columbus Makes Art lists various concerts, art displays, and other artistic events. There's also a list of community Art Festivals. Cringe provides a full list of all the live music going on throughout Columbus
Meetup, Goldstar Events, Eventbrite and Facebook are a great source to search for events. If you're looking for events local to you, I'd suggest searching Google Maps for local bars and pubs, then looking up their websites or Facebook pages where they'll often have weekly events.

Looking for events more than a week out?
To help organize and plan out this list I have a PREVIEW of events coming more than a week out posted on my Reddit Profile. Keep in mind that there could be some inaccurate information the further out you go, so be sure to track the event page in case there are last minute changes.

If you find any broken links, misspellings, or inaccurate information, please let me know. Thanks.

This is a PREVIEW of the post that will be made on Dec 8th on /Columbus, some details may change.
-=-=-=-=-
I have decided I will stop posting the Things To Do list at the end of 2022. I've enjoyed doing this as a hobby to learn more about Columbus, but as I get settled in here I need to focus my time on actually attending events. My last post will be on Dec 22nd, and I'll have it cover everything to the end of the year. Thank you for everyone's support.

This Thursday is COSI After Dark - 80's Party, Whitney & Squirrel Flower at Newport Music Hall, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Andrea Bocelli: 2022 Winter Tour.
This Friday features Peach Pit: Right Down the Street Tour, CD92.9 FM Holiday Show, Dallas Moore Band at Woodlands Tavern, and Betty Holiday Spectacular - Burlesque & Variety Show.
This Saturday has the Merry Krampus 2022 - Columbus Original Dark Holiday Market, 6th Annual 12 Bars of Christmas Crawl, Holiday Soiree Columbus 2022, and We Outside Comedy Tour at Nationwide Arena.
This Sunday is the Not Your Mama's Craft Market, Winter Vegan Pop Up, Yay Bikes! Holiday Light Bike Ride, and Starcrawler at A&R Music Bar.
This week also has White Christmas: The Musical on the Short North Stage, Elf: The Musical, Olan's Polar Express: A Christmas Comedy Show at Funny Bone, Sammy Adams Good Problems Tour at The Basement, and Mat Heckler at Woodlands Tavern.

MORE EVENTS! TOO MANY TO LIST!
^Or ^how ^I ^learned ^to ^stop ^trying ^to ^list ^every ^event ^and ^just ^give ^you ^guys ^the ^sources ^I'm ^working ^with.

If you're looking to volunteer Columbus Gives Back and Besa - Be the Good can give you dozens of events happening for a variety of causes.
The City of Columbus Community Center lists dozens of hobbies and sports events for children and adults that you can attend for free.
Columbus on the Cheap creates a weekly list updated every Wednesday night detailing tons of free or cheap events that can be done around town.
The Columbus Dispatch Entertainment section posts your "Best Bets" for the weekend every Thursday morning and the Columbus Navigator also provides news articles about upcoming performances. The Columbus Underground has their own event section to watch as well.
Columbus Makes Art lists various concerts, art displays, and other artistic events. There's also a list of community Art Festivals. Cringe provides a full list of all the live music going on throughout Columbus
Meetup, Goldstar Events, Eventbrite and Facebook are a great source to search for events. If you're looking for events local to you, I'd suggest searching Google Maps for local bars and pubs, then looking up their websites or Facebook pages where they'll often have weekly events.

Looking for events more than a week out?
To help organize and plan out this list I have a PREVIEW of events coming more than a week out posted on my Reddit Profile. Keep in mind that there could be some inaccurate information the further out you go, so be sure to track the event page in case there are last minute changes.

If you find any broken links, misspellings, or inaccurate information, please let me know. Thanks.

I have decided I will stop posting the Things To Do list at the end of 2022. I've enjoyed doing this as a hobby to learn more about Columbus, but as I get settled in here I need to focus my time on actually attending events. My last post will be on Dec 22nd, and I'll have it cover everything to the end of the year. Thank you for everyone's support.
