Halloween ideas for brunettes

I’ve talked to this girl for a while now, and today was our first date, everything was fine until I screwed up by saying something like “we’re not gonna have a date soon, so can I kiss you?”. I know it was really awkward and anticlimactic, but in my defense I was tipsy and seemed like a great idea, and we also been texting each other a lot and talked about some deep and romantic stuff. So what do you think? I screwed up or it’s just something I can still “save”?

Ok so I have invited a new player to play dnd for the first time. I’m sitting down with him asking what kind of character he wants.
Fast forward a bit. Picture the baby zombie on a big zombie from Minecraft. He wants to be the baby zombie to his friend who’s in my group as the big zombie. He wants to basically do “mounted combat” on his buddy.
Also the “big zombie” is a warlock and they are playing off the “cost for his power in his pact is this “leech” like player” lol
Here’s where I need help. As I want to make this work as best as possible.

1. What race would work for the “baby zombie” The “big zombie” is a dragon born.
   
2. Would I actually use mounted combat rules if they made like a “backpack/saddle” or would I use homebrew of ( he only has one hand due to one always holding on)
   
3. What class would work for this? A caster? A martial? (Level 3 starting out btw)
   
4. What feats would he need? I allow my players a level 1 feat and would be willing to let him preemptively take his level 4 if needed as they are going to level 4 in like 1 session if all goes well.
   
5. Any other tips. Any little small homebrew rules or things I could do to make this balanced or fun for him.
   

Thanks for reading I know this is not possible RAW. More then likely. But as a new player if like to get him in but also I’m thoroughly entertained by this.
Hit me with any and all ideas please. The closer to raw the better. I know as dm I can just “make” it work by allowing a tiny race to constantly grapple or something etc etc

I have no idea what subject on but I love you style and the goal of making maths accessible. I also studied philosophy so am quite good at chatting shite and did digital marketing for a while. I noticed you mentioned are not a fan of social media in your stream. Nor am I but for a worthy cause, the spreading and sharing of knowledge it's worth looking into how to aim for wider distribution

Hi! I'm fairly new here. I'm studying TESOL because I love connecting with people through languages and do tutoring on the side, but I also have an art passion.
I'm still in school, but maybe during studies (DEFINITELY after), I want to design some visual aids/posters, etc. to help ESL, TESOL, English language teachers in general to give extra reference for their students. Since I have no real classroom experience, I was wondering what would potentially help you and your students if I were to make creatives for your classroom that went beyond kindergarten alphabet pictures? I wish I had better references, but as a native English speaker who up until this past March was completely oblivious to the ways of my own language, I can't think of many ideas off the top of my head lol.
Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but definitely willing to look elsewhere for ideas on how to help TESOL teachers. :)

I’ve been tinkering with the idea of ElmaHargilde for a while, I like sans black as a color pie, it’s basically the concept of 4c Rashmi, but instead of Rashmi it’s Jori En, because instead of drawing off the first spell each turn it’s the second. It’s a lower power effect that requires more build around, so the deck has an inherent power ceiling with the commanders.
At it’s core my vision for the list is a midrange/control style deck that relies on value engines to keep drawing into interaction allowing you to play on any turn, and in fact incentives it.
I’ve tried pod variants that go away from the instant speed slant for more competitive inevitability, or more casual storm-ish variants that have non-determinant HullbreakeJeskai ascendency/Seasons Past/Breach style finishes. Other builds have been more casual or competitive, but I still haven’t felt like I’ve gotten the deck to play quite the way I’d hoped.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!

Just checking on suggested products. Have a system not yet energized, with ten Hoymiles microinverters. Separately, I already have a pair of Eagle-200 bridges to directly monitor my utility's (two) smart meters, which work with net metering. And since S-Miles monitors the solar production, I figured I had everything needed.
But then, I see all these beautiful charts from you guys that have consumption and production overlaid. Got me thinking that I probably should have both in one place for better comparison. It looks like S-Miles CAN show both, based on some screenshots I'm looking at.
Is it as simple as asking for CTs to be installed? I've no idea what is compatible with S-Miles or the bridge, or what to even ask for. Any sample products or suggestions?
One thing to note: the one 22kw array is split 50/50 and is fed to two meters (two unit property). Ideally, I'd monitor consumption withing S-Cloud on both units combined somehow so it's proper apples-to-apples production vs consumption. Or maybe split consumption AND production by unit. I don't know. But I can always check the two Eagle-200 if I need to see the consumption by meter.
What would you do?

NOTE: I AM SORRY IF THERE ARE WEIRD SPELLING MISTAKES I AM VERY TIRED AND IT IS LATE AT NIGHT AS I TYPE THIS I HOPE THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE COMPLETE NONSENSE

The most current English volume is 24. 25 won’t come out for 2 more weeks but Viz has the chapters from volume 26-29 I think. How does that work? Damn I like buying the physical mangas but had no idea Viz was getting them months and months in advance digitally.
Bought volumes 1-24 already and thought I was up to date in English at least but guess not haha. I’ve been avoiding this sub till I was fully caught up but guess I’ll keep avoiding it.

In Part Four, the comeback tour of rockstar Hiroshi Tanahashi was cut brutally short at the hands of the Leader of the New School, Zack Sabre Jr., who embarked on a quest to prove himself New Japan's most valuable gaijin. After beating back Will Ospreay for Royal Quest, he ran into another familiar face in Minoru Suzuki, almost clobbering him into retirement until Naomichi Marufuji made the save. Ending his saga with Just6Guys with a win over Maru, he placed a bow on the long-standing Blackpool Combat Club rivalry by besting Jon Moxley, cementing Sabre-Gun as New Japan's undisputed leaders... That is, without taking Los Ingobernables de Japon into account.
​
​
Since becoming one again, LIJ’s been on a tear through NJPW’s ranks this year in spite of Shingo Takagi dropping the belt and PAC losing the New Japan Cup Finals to the current World Champion. IWGP United States, IWGP Tag Team (Death Triangle have become LIJ affiliates through PAC), and NJPW World Television Championships in their grasps, they seek to round out the group by all holding titles simultaneously. But that begs the question – who’ll be going after the World Title? Though Shingo’s battle ready, he insists Tetsuya Naito take it this time, the Stardust Genius having worked his back off to rebound from Wrestle Kingdom. Failing every attempt in the past 3 years though, the question remains whether he can truly pull it off this time, or if it’s just not meant to be.

Kizuna Road - Night Four (July 1, 2024)
​
Sabre-Gun (Zack Sabre Jr. & El Phantasmo) vs Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito & PAC)
​
With Naito confirmed as Sabre’s #1 Contender for Wrestle Dynasty, SG and LIJ have themselves a scaled-down rematch from New Year’s Dash, Zack picking his trusty right-hand man ELP, and Tetsuya bringing the US Champion, knowing PAC has unresolved issues with ZSJ from the NJC. Though it drives the Bastard to work doubly-hard, especially considering how it’ll look if he pins the World Champion, it also makes their teamwork suffer, PAC becoming self-absorbed in getting the pin. Backfiring, a Sudden Death from Phantasmo knocks his lights out, SG getting their win back from NYD and putting the challenger on the backfoot heading into Madison Square Garden!
​
Sabre-Gun def. Los Ingobernables de Japon (16:12)
​
PAC appears distraught after the match, but Naito simply tells him ‘tranquilo’, not taking it personally. Though he’d hoped to use this match to get into ZSJ’s head, it appears he’ll just have to do that himself, like he’s always done.

Zack Sabre Jr. (c) vs Tetsuya Naito XI - IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
​
In what’s been a very successful night for LIJ thus far, clean-sweeping their way through the competition, it all rests on Naito’s shoulders now to bring it home. Perhaps the most unreliable man to slot in this spot, and yet, the most beloved, MSG fully invested in Tetsuya’s chase, either the grandest of celebrations or coldest of heartbreaks will end the night! Naito keeps his cool, emanating his usual larger-than-life aura as he walks out in a pristine crimson suit, paying homage to Shingo, whilst Sabre’s cockier than ever with his recent streak of huge wins, knowing he has Tetsuya doubting himself after their tag. As he hands his title over, the two come face-to-face, SABRE SPITTING GUM INTO NAITO’S FACE, but Tetsuya doesn’t let ZSJ’s tactics faze him, having come too far for too long to let mind games be his downfall.
​
Circling each other, Zack lunges for a lock-up but Naito walks past, smirking and stretching in the opposite corner. Sabre rolls his eyes as Tetsuya turns around and tells him ‘tranquilo’, before going for it again… Zack snatching the headlock this time as Naito tries to repeat, but Tetsuya instantly whips him to the corner, teasing the COMBINACION CABRON as ZSJ braces himself… Naito stops in front of him and does the ‘Abre los Ojos’ taunt!
​
Furious, Sabre piefaces him, NAITO RETURNING A FOREARM, AND WE’RE OFF! Trading strikes, Zack rocks Tetsuya with European Uppercuts, Naito returning forearms, before a Japanese Arm Drag stops Zack in his tracks! Naito goes for another, but Zack hooks onto Tetsuya’s legs, tripping him up and contorting the foot! Tetsuya boots him off with the other, a Neckbreaker and a Somersault Senton connecting, though Sabre absorbs the latter, trapping Naito’s arm onto the mat to STOMP THE HAND!
​
Picking him back up, he cracks Naito with chops, before whipping him at the ropes, Naito hitting off them one after the other to build momentum, teasing the Flying Forearm Zack’s expecting… only to roll into the Tranquilo pose! ZACK MEETS HIM WITH A NECK TWIST!!! Tetsuya scrambling to the corner, Sabre steps on his throat against the ropes, BEFORE SLAPPING HIM! NAITO SPITS IN ZACK’S FACE!!! A harsh uppercut knocks Tetsuya back, a Running European following and a PENALTY KICK! Naito dodges and nails the FLYING FOREARM SMASH!
​
Teasing the Tornado DDT, it’s cancelled by an Enzuigiri, Zack leaping for the KIMURA- NAITO COUNTERS INTO VALENTIA!!! ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT!!! Sending Sabre into the corner, the COMBINACION CABRON CONNECTS! AND A MISSILE DROPKICK! Naito teases the DRAGON SUPLEX, but Sabre flips through and STOMPS HIS ELBOW! SNAP GERMAN ON THE NECK FROM SABRE!!! ONE! TWO! THR-NO DICE! Naito woozy, his head’s only further knocked around by a ROLLING ELBOW! A CORNER HIGH KNEE connects, before a Hammerlock Suplex floats into a TESCO MEAL DEAL!!!
​
Naito’s hand flails about the mat as Sabre keeps him grounded, no Valentia escape this time, forcing Tetsuya to work the old-fashioned way to the ropes! MSG backing the Stardust Genius, after much deliberation he gets a foot on the ropes! But Zack’s right back on him, going for a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX- NAITO STANDS HIM UP WITH A SNAP DDT! An EVOLUCION’S shut down though, Sabre hitting the brakes to nail the ARM PELE! Fishing the arm, Zack tries to float into a FLYING ARTICLE 50- NAITO STUFFS HIM WITH A GLORIA!!! ONE! TWO! THR-SABRE SURVIVES!!!
​
Rallying momentum, Tetsuya nails the TORNADO DDT! Sabre nursing the head, a DRAGON SUPLEX FOLLOWS!!! In the drop zone, Naito tests the waters for a RUNNING DESTINO- SABRE SHUTS IT DOWN WITH A EUROPEAN CLUTCH!!! ONE! TWO! THR-NAITO’S DREAMS STAY ALIVE!!! Getting dangerously close with the flash pin, Tetsuya throws defiant forearms, Zack catching and contorting one, but a ROLLING WHEEL KICK knocks him off! ESPERANZA!!! ONE! TWO! THR-SABRE KICKS OUT!!!
​
Hooking the head, Naito hoists Sabre up… ZACK WITH A GUILLOTINE CHOKE MID-AIR!!! Tetsuya’s eyes bulge out his skull, looking for the nearest turnbuckle to ram Sabre into it, but ZSJ’s quicker, yanking him to the mat and transitioning into a JIM BREAKS ARMBAR!!! Brutally bending the arm at an awkward angle, there’s a manic look in Zack’s eyes as NYC desperately cheers on Naito, who does his best to hang on! Sabre keeps tugging further and further, eager to ruin Tetsuya, but it backfires, helping him stretch his leg to the ropes!
​
The crowd erupts as the referee forces Sabre off, though Naito’s clearly hurting all the same, a European helping no less! Zack rallies with further Uppercuts, one knocking Tetsuya down, before firing a PENALTY KICK!!! NAITO ABSORBS IT AND ROLLS THROUGH, SABRE GOING FOR SECONDS BUT HE EATS A RUNNING DESTINOOOOOOOOO!!! ONE! TWO! THR-NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Shaking himself off, Naito attempts another, though Sabre stops it with elbows, before hopping into a REAR NAKED CHOKE!
​
Tetsuya tries to run forwards to free himself, though ZSJ swivels on his back into a GEDO CLUTCH!!! ANOTHER FLASH PIN! BUT NAITO ROLLS THROUGH THIS TIME INTO HIS OWN – POLVO DE ESTRELLA!!! ONE! TWO! THR-SABRE STAYS IN!!! AND AN EVOLUCION!!! ONE! TWO! THR-ANOTHER KICK OUT!!! NAITO’S GOING FOR THE SWING DESTINO!!! BUT A ZACK DRIVER COUNTERS!!! ONE! TWO! THR-NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
​
Slapping up Naito’s neck, Sabre dumps him on it with a TIGER SUPLEX!!! Naito woozy, Zack nails the PENALTY KICK!!! NAITO’S REFUSING TO STAY DOWN! Hearing MSG’s cries, he wills himself back up as Sabre watches in fascination… ONLY FOR ANOTHER PK TO CUT HIM OFF!!! And just like the 2022 NJC Finals, he’s going to end it here with a SECOND ZACK DRIVER- NAITO NAILS A DESTINO MID-AIR!!! HE’S STILL MOVING SOMEHOW!!! Stumbling to his feet, Tetsuya measures his man… DESTINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ONE! TWO! THR-SABRE’S FOOT’S ON THE ROPE!!!
​
Saving Naito more than once, it’s come to Zack’s aid now too! Hammering Sabre with forearms, Naito tees up another DESTINO- PELE KICK!!! Tetsuya falls forward, Zack catching him in a STRETCH MUFFLER!!! IF HE CAN JUST GRAB THE OTHER LEG, IT’S ALL OVER, COMPLETING THE ORIENTEERING WITH NAPALM DEATH!!! Zack bends Naito further and further as he tries to grab hold… TETSUYA SWINGS BACK! AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! SABRE LETS GO!!! AND A ZACK DRIVER FROM NAITO!!!
​
Sabre on his back, Naito thinks about waiting for the Destino… but then he sees the top rope. The crowd cry at him not to, screwing him over time and time again, but Tetsuya can’t help it! Heading up top, the world holds their breath, NAITO SOARING THROUGH THE AIR… STARDUST PRESS CONNECTS!!! ONE! TWO! THREE!!! IT’S A MIRACLE IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!!! NAITO’S WORLD CHAMPION AGAIN!!!
​
Tetsuya Naito def. Zack Sabre Jr. (c) to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship (31:18)
​
New York LOSES their minds as Naito’s handed the title, Tetsuya himself struggling to process what just happened! But then LIJ rush out – PAC with the US Title, Hiromu with the TV Title, Shingo, Yota, and Titan with the NEVER 6-Man Titles, and even the Lucha Brothers with the Tag Titles! THEY’RE DRAPED IN GOLD, BABY! Sharing embraces all around as a dismal Sabre trudges to the back, there’s not a single dry eye in the arena as the outcasts raise their fists to the sky with one hand and their titles with the other, golden tickertape hailing down! Naito’s on top of the world after 3 long years, and it feels damn good! Doing the customary championship edition roll-call, the show fades on LIJ holding all their gold… and PAC looking over at Naito’s.
​
​
G1 Climax 34
​
Entering his second of fifteen G1s as the reigning champion, Naito heads B Block opposite stiff competition. Though dispatching of Hiromu in friendly competition on Night One, the two are subsequently assaulted by KONGOH post-match, allowing NOAH’s KENOH to upset him the following night! Behind the 8-ball already, Tetsuya’s motivated to make a comeback, mowing through Narita, Tanahashi, Yota, Sabre, and KENTA to take back the lead! Suffering another surprise defeat at Jeff Cobb’s hands after multiple failed attempts from the Hawaiian Hulk to best him, it opens the door for a returning JAY WHITE to spoil his final night, wrecking Naito’s legs with a ladder, allowing Zack to advance on 14 points! As for B Block, a draw between Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada on the final night puts the Commonwealth Kingpin through, the rivals meeting one more time! Other key underlying stories see Shibata finally beating Okada, Ospreay avenging his Takagi loss, PAC beating his fellow LIJ members but losing to SANADA, and KONGOH causing ruckus throughout the competition.

​
Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, PAC, Hiromu Takahashi, Titan) vs KONGOH (KENOH, Manabu Soya, Masakatsu Funaki, Hi69, Shuji Kondo)
​
Perhaps the focal reason for Naito not making the Finals, KONGOH’s tournament chicanery, as led by KENOH, was a masterfully crafted plan. After losing to Tetsuya in last year’s LIJ vs KONGOH series at Wrestle Kingdom 17, the thought of ruining the Stardust Genius for vengeance never left the Rogue Fist’s mind, and with his win over Tetsuya in the G1, their score is now 1-1. Reigniting the intense rivalry between the two stables, they have an upgraded rematch to their Wrestle Kingdom 16 5-on-5, both sides having greatly changed since then.
​
Once again, PAC’s especially adamant to claim the spotlight, the loss to SANADA making him temperamental despite having the 2nd best LIJ record in this year’s tournament. An argument breaking out between PAC and Shingo as to who should get the pin is put on ice by Naito, though it doesn’t keep Titan from eating a nasty PFS from KENOH, handing the invaders the win!
​
KONGOH def. Los Ingobernables de Japon (19:57)
​
Redeeming WK16, KENOH offers the angriest of satisfied smiles, the group cackling as they gesture belts around their waists, warning that their business isn’t yet over. LIJ left behind, there’s a sour mood in the air from the loss, though when Shingo offers a fist in apology, PAC, taking a look at a nodding Naito, ultimately returns one, showing that despite popular belief, LIJ’s still fine.
​
​
Splitting off for Shingo and co. to gear up for KONGOH’s second wave whilst Naito and PAC are scheduled for AEW’s ALL IN supershow, this time taking place in Tetsuya’s home of the Tokyo Dome, both men are set for defences on the show. In PAC’s case, it’s a rematch against J6G’s SANADA, the Bastard adamant to gain Naito’s favour by beating the traitor. As for Naito, he has Jay on his tail!
​
Until the recent G1, White refused to show his face on any sort of NJPW programming (including Forbidden Door) since being embarrassed at Okada’s hands and having his faction torn to shreds. Leaving Japan to join AEW, no longer having connections to hide behind nor help him, he was forced to be the lone wolf for once, becoming even more merciless, knowing he’s all he has. After spreading chaos abroad, most recently coming up short in the AEW World Championship picture, trauma from his Okada loss clinging onto him anytime the stakes are raised too high again, he decided it was time to return to his roots to clear his head and eliminate any shred of weakness left in his body so that he can claim the top prize again, and there’s no better place to do so than the building his title was taken from him – the Tokyo Dome.
​
The last time he faced Naito in the Tokyo Dome, he had Gedo by his side, yet still lost. Now though, he declares if he’s to have this match, he wants a compensatory factor. A means of looking out for himself, like Naito has LIJ. He’s already beaten Tetsuya thrice in singles competition, knowing he’s the better wrestler, so this time… HE WANTS A LADDER MATCH!!! Japan’s become more and more geared to the Western market, the culture shifting from traditions, so unless he’s a snob like Okada, he'll embrace the new vision and accept the challenge. Jay using the perfect words to get under Tetsuya’s skin, he accepts, looking to tear down the foundations of the Rainmaker’s regime with his reign, starting with this!

RevProxNJPW 12th Anniversary Show (August 24, 2024)

Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito & PAC) vs The Knight Dynasty (Ricky Knight Jr. & Zak Knight)
​
The night before ALL IN features a special RevPro crossover event with their partners, NJPW, the 12th Anniversary being celebrated in Japan. Naturally, Naito tags with the most RevPro familiar member of LIJ, PAC, the two champions battling the celebrated Knight Dynasty, who are considered the present and future of the promotion! What begins as a fun exhibition sees more of the differences between PAC and Naito come to light, the hot-headedness of the Bastard and the collectedness of El Ingobernable wanting different things out of the match, yet still managing to remain reasonably on the same page. A close call on a 619 from Ricky sees Naito shove PAC out the way in the nick of time, absorbing the blow himself, though without acknowledging it, PAC springs to action, a Black Arrow on Zak scoring the victory!
​
Los Ingobernables de Japon def. The Knight Dynasty (13:10)
​
As the referee approaches LIJ with their titles, PAC’s quick to receive both, Naito only recovering just in time to find the Bastard lingering for a moment as he looks between the pieces of gold, before finally handing Tetsuya’s over him and walking off, leaving the leader confused yet unconcerned.

​
Stepping into the mastermind of the Switchblade, White baits Naito to play his game, the long-time rivals settling their score over a belt they both have history with. With no Gedo around, Jay’s focus is to demolish Naito’s already tattered knees with the ladder like he did to cost Tetsuya the G1, slowing down each climbing attempt bit by bit. Given the two’s creativity, it’s a sick warfare of increasingly dangerous spots, Naito taking Jay with him to neck bump city, White cruelly massacring Tetsuya’s body with reckless abandon.
​
White’s notably more in his element here, letting the Tokyo Dome atmosphere heal him whilst hurting Naito. A HANGING BLADE RUNNER cuts a Stardust Press attempt short, the magic only lasting once, but a ladder bridge CANADIAN DESTROYER buys Naito some momentum back! Ultimately, a war atop the ladder sees Naito boot Jay off, allowing him to unhook the gold to retain!

​
Though Naito walks out with his belt, PAC doesn’t, making the Bastard’s issues all the more prominent, taking more frequent looks over at Tetsuya’s gold, which begs the question – was there more to PAC joining LIJ than originally thought? Still, he wishes Naito good luck for Wrestle Grand Slam, telling him he wants to see the belt on him when they go England. But for now, the end of his trilogy against KENOH awaits!

​
Tetsuya Naito (c) vs KENOH III - IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
​
For over two years, the rivalry between LIJ and KONGOH has slowly simmered to this boiling point, coming down to the leaders now to settle their 1-1 score over NJPW’s top title! With the 6-Man Titles changing hands earlier in the night, Naito must put his 200% into assuring the same doesn’t occur here, or it’ll be disaster on New Japan’s waterfront.
​
As two men that could not be more opposite collide, it’s an intense war over the company’s possession, everyone from fans to wrestlers on the edge of their seats as the last of the NOAH invaders try to leave their mark. KENOH shows nothing but hatred towards Naito for ruining his past chances, whilst Tetsuya savours his every moment in the Sun, having slaved away to hold this belt. A PFS almost does Naito in, whilst the DESTINO does the same for KENOH! Ragdolling the older star with Dragon Suplexes, KENOH sets up for the ENRIN… BUT IN HIS STARDUST PRESS MOMENT, HE MISSES!!! DESTINOOOOOOOOOO!!! ONE! TWO! THREE!!! New Japan remains safe in the hands of Naito!
​
Tetsuya Naito (c) def. KENOH to retain the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship (28:33)
​
Offering a handshake to KENOH out of respect for their series… the Rogue Fist declines it, though from the look in his fiery eyes, an inkling of acknowledgement is there for Tetsuya. Telling Naito to keep the belt warm for him, he declares he’ll be back sometime again, and when that happens, he’s going to usurp Naito once and for all!
​
And as they leave with their 50/50 successes, it’s back to LIJ to end the show on their usual note… except, PAC interrupts the tradition. He’s confused, no, he’s incredulous. What are they celebrating here? Failure? Or are they calling it ‘survival’? Is no one going to point out the elephant in the room? Just two months ago they were on top of the world, all draped in gold, but now they’re left with just Naito and the Lucha Bros’s gold. And yet, they’re celebrating? He’s been out here losing sleep over his missing US Title!
​
If they wish to continue to be taken seriously, they need to act the part. Luckily… he has a solution. They say iron sharpens iron, so rather than fighting these large-scale wars outside their stable… why not have a ‘friendly’ within? Naito has the title and an incredible row of suitors before him, so he should pick one to defend against! Tetsuya seems perturbed by the idea knowing what almost happened the last time LIJ fought within, but as PAC insists, even pointing out how he’s the only one with a clean record over Naito… Tetsuya turns to him and raises the title! If such claims are going to be made, they need to be backed up too! Challenging PAC with his title on the line, a grinning Bastard accepts, bumping his fist!

Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi) vs Death Triangle (PAC & The Lucha Brothers)
​
Slyly manoeuvring his way into the title rematch he’s desired ever since getting a taste of the gold against Shingo last year, this is more so PAC’s chance to prove himself over the statement he’s seeming to be making. Nonetheless, with various combinations of LIJ facing Death Triangle over the Burning Spirit tour, they supposedly rely on each other to improve their own skill, these 6 especially drawing the very best out of each other. Working more seamlessly with DT than he had LIJ as of late, the freakish chemistry between the AEW lads has a Fear FactoDouble Stomp/Black Arrow combo end Hiromu, PAC grinning as he stares down Naito, the challenge growing closer by day…

Giving a brief interview heading into the match at Royal Quest, Naito states that he can’t be certain on what PAC’s intentions are, but all he knows is that no matter what, LIJ sticks together. If this match is what PAC needs for his peace of mind, then it’s all his. All he can hope is the Bastard has the same idea of family in mind.

The relationship between LIJ and PAC has developed into one of the more intriguing dynamics this year, raising a multitude of questions, but now, the true light of it all will be revealed. Whether it’s friendly fire or another coup, Naito’s ready for whatever PAC may happen to have up his sleeve, whilst the Bastard lets his actions do the talking. For once, it’s an utterly no-nonsense showdown between Los members, Tetsuya taking the threat of PAC very seriously, the Jordie clearly driven to make the grand prize his. And as the match rolls on, Naito starts to see parts of himself in PAC with each cheer or cry from his home crowd.
​
Just like Naito, he’s the incredibly-talented misfit who was overlooked, but unlike a young Naito, PAC doesn’t realise he has the world on his side already despite his quirks. Whilst Naito had to suffer through his changes, PAC’s a made man, and with each near-fall, the crowd see it too, becoming more and more invested in him! On the cusp of his crowning moment, PAC shows no hesitation unlike the Stardust Press, NAILING THE BLACK ARROW!!! ONE! TWO! THR-BUT NAITO KICKS OUT!!! PAC may have ‘it’, but Naito’s operating on an entirely different level as World Champion, and no matter what PAC may have thrown at him, it’s not his moment just yet. DESTINOOOOOOOO!!! ONE! TWO! THREE!!!

​
Maybe a different day. Both men propped in opposite corners of the ring, they suck deep for breaths, PAC only taking his eyes off Naito when he spots the title bring brought over to him. That should’ve been his. He should’ve been champion right now, but… he starts tuning in the crowd again. A standing ovation for the hometown boy. Though he may not hold the title right now, he’s still a champion in their eyes… Solace. Always overlooked, all he needed was approval. And now more than ever, he feels he has it. Noticing PAC’s realisation, Naito grins and nods to him, the two bumping fists together, no sour ending on this one.
​
At least, not between LIJ… OKADA’S HERE!!! After shockingly beating Ospreay for his G1 briefcase earlier in the night, the Rainmaker has his sights on the Tokyo Dome main event, and if things are to be believed, it may be Naito defending against Kazuchika on the grand stage! The long-time WK rivals locking eyes, there’s a different atmosphere between the Ace and the Dark Ace now. No longer does Okada look upon Naito condescendingly, but with disgust. Though he failed to beat Shingo earlier in the night, Kazuchika’s been vocal all year about the damage he feels LIJ have caused the company.
​
Where he did everything to purify the promotion with his reign, beating away outsiders, Naito did the exact opposite, bringing them further into their ranks and breaking tradition with a ladder match. With this briefcase in his hand though, he has the power to change that… but so does he. OSPREAY JOINS IN!!! The man who lost his case earlier in front of his own family, he can’t even look the smug Okada in the eyes. Rather, turning to Naito, he declares his desire to return to WK’s main event to not be over just yet! Against better judgement, he gave Shingo a shot at this title last year and it cost him everything. All he asks is Naito returns the favour! Smirking, Tetsuya tells him ‘earn it’, WK’s main event scene growing all the more interesting!

Battle Autumn - Night Five (October 15, 2024)
​
Elimination: Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, Death Triangle) vs United Empire (Will Ospreay, Jeff Cobb, Great-O-Khan, Aussie Open)
​
Desperation drives a man to his darkest pits, and Ospreay is very much there. Banding his troops together one year on since the last LIJ/UE tag of this magnitude, the ante’s upped even higher now, needing to survive an elimination match to receive the match of his desires. Both stables going to war here, all their integrated rivalries of the past years come to a head, the one between Ospreay and Naito lying at the centre of it all. UE get a tough break to start with when Great-O-Khan hits the deck early, Mark Davis following, though a comeback removes the Lucha Bros from the equation!
​
Cobb goes next, before Ospreay takes out PAC, a double countout subsequently removing the leaders from the equation! Boiling down to Shingo and Kyle, the Aussie Arrow pulls out the underdog performance of his life, channelling all of Ospreay’s moves before a GRIMSTONE ELIMINATES SHINGO! OSPREAY’S HEADED TO KOPW!!! Raising Fletcher onto their shoulders, it’s a grand celebration from UE, Will receiving one last lease on life! As for Naito, he can only stand and wait, a final challenge paved in his path to the Dome.

​
Tetsuya Naito (c) vs Will Ospreay IV - IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
​
One year ago, Ospreay’s overzealousness cost him the chance to main event Wrestle Kingdom with the World Title, but now, as it all comes full circle, it’s official, the winner of this match defending against Okada! With that in mind, both men are equally ravenous to make the grand opportunity theirs! Their fourth match together, it’s rife with callbacks, Naito especially making sure to remind Will of the way he beat him in last year’s A Block Finals to get in his head.
​
To Tetsuya’s surprise though, this matured Ospreay is impervious to his strategies! No matter what the champion throws, the challenger always has an answer, their see-saw saga featuring plenty of nail-biting near-falls that could send either man through, but it’s a TRIAD OF HIDDEN BLADES that ultimately calls it, Ospreay finally reclaiming his throne, a date with destiny set in stone!

Before WK though, Power Struggle is on the calendar! Featuring the likes of Death Triangle dethroning KONGOH for the NEVER belts for PAC to fully find his place in LIJ, Ren Narita dethroning Katsuyori Shibata for the NEVER Openweight Title, and Shingo Takagi taking the US Title from SANADA, it also sees Ospreay team with Catch 22 against Okada and the two men who ended Francesco Akira and TJP’s legendary reign, SHO & Taiji Ishimori, with UE scoring the vengeful win! And on the final Road To Tokyo Dome special, Ospreay finds a surprising ally in Shibata against Okada and Tanahashi in a HUGE blockbuster tag, CHAOS getting their win back here as Shibata keeps chasing down a rematch with Tana!

Will Ospreay (c) vs Kazuchika Okada XII - IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
​
Finally, this is what it’s all led to. A story set in motion from the very first moment Ospreay set foot in NJPW under Okada’s guidance in CHAOS 9 years ago. Fighting through loss after loss after loss, he finally achieved his clean win over Okada last year to reclaim his World Championship, but now, he must accomplish an even greater task – beat the Final Boss in the Tokyo Dome itself! Failing on both occasions against Okada on NJPW’s biggest stage akin to Okada’s own chase of Tanahashi, it’s his Wrestle Kingdom 10 moment now as he walks into the Dome as the reigning champion, with the Ace as the challenger! Win and he’s immortalised in history. Lose and Okada resets the company’s entire trajectory. High stakes weighing on Will’s shoulders, it’s time to elevate under pressure!
​
Entering with WK level entrances to boot, Okada dripping sheer gold, and Ospreay with an entire kingdom of suited individuals accompanying him, they get underway as the bell sounds! And for the first time, it’s Ospreay controlling the opening sequence with the Tanahashi-style headlock! Big brothering Okada, he doesn’t let the Rainmaker out the gates in his own ballpark for a few minutes straight… BEFORE WILL EXPLODES FOR A HANDSPRING ENZUIGIRI!
​
Okada dodges, going for a GERMAN, but Will flips through, nailing the HOOK KICK, an OSCUTTER coming up empty, Kazu swinging for a ducked RAINMAKER, and it’s a stalemate! Trading forearms, a Lariat dumps Okada out, Ospreay running Kazu’s routine of the guardrail whip and Big Boot, a RUNNING CROSSBODY EATING A DROPKICK! Nailing a TOMBSTONE on the floor, Okada sets up a table at ringside before rolling Ospreay in, the MISSILE DROPKICK and AIR-RAID CRASH NECKBREAKER harping on the neck! ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT!
​
Wrenching the MONEY CLIP, it doesn’t get him far, a BRAINBUSTER catching Okada by surprise! SHOOTING STAR PRESS! ONE! TWO! THR-NO DICE! A PIP PIP CHEERIO eats a BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK, before Okada whips Ospreay at the corner, only for Will to pop him up onto the turnbuckles, slamming Kawada Kicks into his face! CHEEKY NANDOS! Ospreay tries for a LIGER BOMB through the outside table, but Okada drops to the apron! Will charges for a Yakuza Kick, but a LANDSLIDE BLOCKS!!! ONE! TWO! THR-OSPREAY STAYS IN!!!
​
Hammering the neck, Okada lunges for a RAINMAKER, though a SNAP CUTTER blocks! ROBINSON SPECIAL! Will winds up the CHELSEA GRIN, but it receives a slap and a JOHN WOO DROPKICK! A pair of Short-Arm Rainmakers ricochet off Ospreay, but a Rainmaker is feigned for a DDT! DIVING ELBOW DROP!!! ONE! TWO! THR-WILL KICKS OUT AGAIN!!! A TOMBSTONE is countered by knees, Ospreay whipping Okada at the ropes, Kazu countering a BACK BODY DROP OVER THE ROPES!!!
​
Will narrowly missing the table, Okada follows with a TOPE CON HILO… BUT OSPREAY MOVES OUT THE WAY, THE RAINMAKER EXPLODING THROUGH THE WOOD!!! Shoving Okada’s lifeless body inside, Ospreay sets up a HIDDEN BLADE!!! ONE! TWO! THR-NOOOOOOOOO!!! A STORM BREAKER is blocked, Okada nailing a sick CORNER GERMAN! Dropkick rocks Will, before the TOMBSTONE connects! RAINMAKER’s dodged, Ospreay rebounding into an OSCUTTER- DROPKICK!!! AND A RAINMAKERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! ONE! TWO! THR-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
​
Okada keeps the wrist, going for seconds… OSPREAY NAILS A RAINMAKER OF HIS OWN!!! Wrist still held, Will nails close-range elbows to the neck, before winding up another HIDDEN BLADE- HEAVY RAIN!!! OKADA NAILS HIS OWN HIDDEN BLADE!!! Teasing the STORM BREAKER, Ospreay spins out, dumping Kazu with a LANDSLIDE!!! AND A HIDDEN BLADE… Okada collapses! As Will tries picking him up, a DROPKICK awaits! ANOTHER DROPKICK! AZTEC SUPLEX – A LA ULTIMO DRAGON!!! ONE! TWO! THR-KICK OUT!!!
​
Okada decks Ospreay with a RAINMAKER, but Will doesn’t go down fully, Kazu nailing a SECOND! Going for the Ripcord this time… RAINHAM MAKER!!! ONE! TWO! THR-OKADA KICKS OUT!!! ESSEX DESTROYER!!! ONE! TWO! THR-ANOTHER KICK OUT!!! Cracking a HIDDEN BLADE off Okada’s nose, an OSCUTTER follows, before he floats into a STORM BREAKER- FALLING RAINMAKERRRRRRR!!! ONE! TWO! THR-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
​
Okada smelling blood, he tries for another, AND A HIDDEN BLADE CONNECTS AT THE SAME TIME!!! Keeping hold, the two knock each other loopy with one free arm… OSCUTTER’S CAUGHT WITH A TOMBSTONE!!! Okada picks him back up, going for a SPINNING TOMBSTONE- OSPREAY REVERSES INTO A SPIKE PILEDRIVER!!! Ripcord… HIDDEN BLADE!!! AND A STORM BREAKER!!! Hoisting him up for one more… A SECOND STORM BREAKERRRRRRRRRRR!!! ONE! TWO! THREE!!!
​
Will Ospreay (c) def. Kazuchika Okada to retain the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship (40:51)
​
HE’S DONE IT! OSPREAY’S FINALLY SURPASSED THE ACE ON HIS OWN STAGE! No longer is Okada himself anymore, but rather the Tanahashi to Ospreay’s Okada, the cycle continuing. And like his counterpart 9 years ago, Kazu leaves as empty-handed as he walked in for the first time in a decade, the times officially changing! And as sunlight washes over the Land of the Rising Sun, a new dawn is revealed. The dawn of the Ospreay Era.
​
​
Epilogue
​
Heading into 2025, NJPW is rife with changes, seeing more of the once Young Lion names step up as the likes of Tanahashi and Naito begin to slow down. CHAOS features a massive shakeup the following night as Shinsuke Nakamura returns, kickstarting his road to retirement, having been vocal in his interest of facing Tanahashi, proceeding to feud with Okada over his failures. As for Ospreay, his reign runs until Sakura Genesis, where one NJC Winner Katsuyori Shibata finally dethrones him 8 years on from his loss to Okada, though Will’s time with the title is far from over yet, remaining an integral part of the picture alongside ZSJ, Shingo, and more.

Other details:
So for years I think back to a game I got when I was younger, and I just cant recall the name of it or even find any shred of evidence that the game existed in the first place, this is all I have knowledge wise listed below on what I remember of the game.
It's some sort of Apocalyptic game, I don't remember the story I was like 10.
The game start there was 3 people I think soldiers, 2 males and a female.
You start by getting off a boat and walk into a car scrapyard/ junkyard.
the first thing you see to your left is Zombie dogs? or rapid dogs attacking a guy.
UI is VERY similar to Jagged Alliance 2, but I've already looked and its not it, it was an old game.
I remember it being Turn based, but also Roguelike.
This is literally all I got on memory of this game. I got it in a box which was like stylised with blood on it, its so hard to remember, I can find anything online about it anywhere at all, I remember the title having a number in it I think? I know how this sounds but man this has been on my mind for years. Any help in finding this game would be super appreciated

I don't know what I'm asking for in this post, maybe some advice? Maybe some help? Or maybe just a place to rant without people knowing who I really am? I don't know. What I am certain is that some part of me already decided to do this so here I am.
I don't want to just, dump everything that is of me and this person here (I'm okay about telling things about me, but when it comes to the privacy of this other person, I'd prefer to keep them more anonymous than anything really, one thing I'd say, they are my guardian figure at the moment.) I'm in a bad spot right now, I don't really know what to do, at the same time, don't want to do anything about it, but despite knowing intellectually no one can really be a burden to someone else, I genuinely feel like my existence only prevents this person's life from being better than their life is currently.
I have been totally ignorant to some things they say, despite knowing they could be better for me, nay, knowing they are better for me, I don't want to do them, it's a vice for the understanding yet lack-of-action. That, despite their clear love for me, I don't feel it, there are many other things I'd like to do that I believe will drastically improve our situation, yet I'm told that well, that they'll do it for me. Maybe it's because I don't see that as love and rather something more catered to a fulfilment of their own desires. And that, I'm told that because of these things, I am given these "freedom" or "privilege" to do whatever and all, but I never ever saw it that way ever. I'd even double down for reasons I'll exclaim later.
It doesn't feel right, nothing feels right, both our treatment to each other, I don't want any malice and all I want is for things to go better, but our differing perspective continue clashing and it just breaks me at times. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, I'm the person to peak in school but simply fail in practicality. I'm not responsible at all, I'm forgetful and lose my attention most of the time, but I've always been smart enough to tell myself that, "It's not completely your fault."
I never had a dad, some try to be my father figure but I've grown accustomed to not having one, once I was told after failing basic tasks that "Maybe you're just special. And that we need to adapt to you." And, it felt more insulting than it did caring, still it lingers in me like a scar engraved deep in my skin. But ever since then I've been more open to the idea that maybe I am just different, that my thought processes aren't meant to be understood like a normal person. I don't want that to be the justification of my behavior nor attitude towards all my mistakes, but understanding how I've been learning with everything else such as video games, all my hobbies, and specially how I did with school... it would make sense that because practicality was taught differently to me, that maybe if I learned it my way will make me a more societally fit and responsible person.
That has been the leading motive and agenda to my many tries of independence, but to no avail. I want to see what life would be like if I was just put in my own place and no one was there for me to depend on. What creative ways or methods will I craft to find my own harmony to what they had nailed into me called "practicality." Clearly, as I'm writing this post I've accepted that so long as I'm under them, I can never achieve that.
So I question, what has family become for me? Is this why I was never able to love my family as I would my best-friend? If love is incomparable then why is it that I feel more care and at peace with my friends than my family? People like my guardian often say that they're doing these things for me, that I'm too irresponsible enough and that's why they can't give me more tasks to do or whatever. I find that completely irrelevant.
It's what I said earlier, they'd rather do these things for me, it feels undermining, it feels like they're giving me the short-end of the stick, and every single day every time they go about saying things like "You're going to be 18 this year, when will you mature?", "I have to keep reminding you or else you'd never learn to do it.", "You can't do anything because all you do is have your phone beside you the entire day"...
...
The phone excuse hurts me the most honestly, I have my phone beside me because it's the only thing that's been keeping my mental up in times like this, I've grown to just love chatting and feeling for things because I can talk to people with similar experiences, friends who despite being hundreds of kilometers away, I feel closer to. People that I've gotten genuine help from just because of this little device. And the people who I idolize that at this rate, I've felt that I've learned so much more from and is the leading example of why I would like to strive to be a lead example in society...
I've done bad things in the past, even to my family, I mean don't we all? I don't speak of them nor apologize I'd rather prove that I've changed specially with my personality and I can look back at them happily, but I guess I know that as the way they treat me leaves a scar, so does the actions I've done in the past. But an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind no?
If there was one thing I could ask from this post, maybe it's direction, I don't know how I should handle the things going on right now, I don't know how bad things can get, I don't know what things I should do? Especially with my guardian, I don't feel the love she says she gives, but I still care for her and despite me not wanting to be a burden, I still want to learn the way I think is best for me, and they still seem too closed in their own world to accept that maybe their ways aren't the best for me. Or maybe I am wrong about this, who knows.

My phone upgraded itself over night, and I despise the new look. Everything is so ugly and just feels annoying to use! I cant stand this at all, how do I go back??
I have no idea about phones or technology, I just know this is not useable and the previous look and feel was what I need and want, this just does not work for me.
I cant swipe down to see my messages/notifications, theres clutter I cant remove, screenshots make the screen go blurry for a bit, and closing apps makes me dizzy with that falling backwards..

I'm an overthinker and have had every thought and scenario play over in my head possible, my gf and I have been dating for nearly 7 months and at one point we broke up in february but got back a few days after, and so far the past 2 months have been rocky but things are starting to pick up for us both because of a choice she made.
OCT 2022 We met at a party last October, she brought her friend L (17m) with her and after a few drinks they got a bit cuddly and kissed a few times, my brother (22m) kicked out L for trying to sleep with her so my drunken self decided to chat her up, we kissed alot until she brought me upstairs, my brother told me not to have sex with her because weyre both drunk and it could get me in alot of trouble, so I didn't but she pulled me on the bed and kissed me very passionately but after 2 attempts at getting up off of her I finally did and she went to bed.
DEC 2022 My gf and my sister (18f) went to one of their friends birthday parties and all got heavily drunk and until february I had no idea my gf kissed a homosexual man called T, but she profusely apologised and I forgave her under the condition if it ever happened again, we wer over.
FEB 2023 In the middle of the month me and my gf got into a HUGE argument and we actually broke up for a few days because of it (I'm not telling the details) and on the very same DAY we broke up she invited L over to her house (this will be important later) and she told me he kissed her but she pulled away saying this wasn't right and shortly after he left.
MARCH 2023 I discover that my gf is pregnant with out first child, I'm overjoyed but she has long loathed and despised children and vowed to never have any so this caused many many MANY arguments vetween us wether we wer keeping it or not
MAY 2023 We went to the ultrasound but after she said she was disappointed it wasnt dead and alot of other things wer said so lost all enthusiasm for it and I told her that I was miserable The past 2 months because of it, so as of now (28/05/2023) she's getting an abortion, I came to a revelation a few weeks back because I was paranoid she was talking to her BFF about me and she was telling my gf to break up w me and planting ideas in her head, I was always paranoid because I just knew I was right, and lo and behold I was right!! Si I was right about 1 major paranoid but what about another? I looked at the dates where the baby would have been conceived and it was within the same week we broke up for those few days however we had sex 2 to 3 times during that week, now my paranoid self always thought what if she did more with L the day she invited him around? And what If the reason she wanted the baby dead was secretly because it might not be mine?? Ik it's crazy but I reached out to L and asked him about that day, he said she kissed him and asked him out but they didn't have sex, so the baby is mine but she lied to me about what happened that day so I was mad at that.
Recently she got Plane tickets to fly to Poland for 2 weeks later this year and due to her past actions and alcohol abuse I think she might accidentally or intentionally cheat on me, I've been paranoid about 3 key things in this relationship... 1. Her bff trying yo sabotage the relationship... 2. The L story not being true and 3. Her cheating on me.
Ik it's a red flag wich is why I don't accuse her or ask her I just think about it, but considering how she was the DAY she met me (btw we wer both virgins at the time) she tried to sleep with me, she kissed a homosexual while drunk, she asked out a guy the day we broke up, I was right after 4 months of constant paranoia about her BFF and I was also right about what she said happened that day not being true.
She said she'd tell me if it happened because she couldn't live with the guild but I don't know how true that is.
(Apologies for the spelling)
TL:DR. Gfs past actions are making me paranoid she's going to cheat on me while she's on holiday in Poland for 2 weeks.

Apologies for the long winded post in advance. My husband in Sept of last year started to not make sense,became very angry, and put my life and his in danger. We didn't realize it at the time that he was going through his first ever episode of psychosis. We were unable to pin down what would have caused it. It did not help that the hospital kept him in the Er for 8 days without giving him anything but Ativan shots(which caused aggression) so they gave him haliperidol. And then transferred him to a psychiatric hospital where he was put on antipsychotics(prolixin shot,clonidine,quentipin) he stopped taking all meds within a week and didnt get the next shot. They diagnosed him with stress induced psychosis but he's been under way more stress than the time period leading up to his break. He could make sense for long periods of time during his psychosis and the er sent him home twice because they thought I was overreacting and there was nothing wrong with him. He thought I poisoned him and he said some terrible stuff. Now just recently he went through psychosis again. Again, we have no idea why this is happening after never having anything like this happen to him his whole life. He again got sent home twice from the er before they kept him 2 days and then sent him to psych hospital. They diagnosed him with unspecified psychosis and sent him home on zyprexa. That was the 15th of this month and he stopped taking his medication. He again thought I drugged him, he screamed for 5 hours straight saying nasty things to me and my 2 kids who are in their early 20s. The cops were called because he grabbed a pair of huge scissors and cut his hand intentionally with them. He thought we were going to hurt him and I was scared he was going to hurt one of us. The problem I'm having is that he says there is nothing wrong with him and that he doesn't need meds,counseling,or treatment. Some of the things he thinks happened are not true at all. He has a huge distrust of me that wasn't earned. I don't contradict his feelings. I try to understand where he is coming from but I don't know how much more hurt I can take. I have breast cancer. I have missed important appointments. My husband will act indifferent to me or say things are my fault. He will continue to tell me false narratives because he believes them to be true. I got rid of all the guns in the house this last time and he's gone from yelling at me that I stole from him to saying he's depressed he doesnt have them and hes going to go into psychosis again because he doesnt have his stuff. I can not allow them back into the house because im scared. I've tried talking to him nicely,supporting him,being non combative. No one gave me any advice from the hospital on what to do if this happens again. I usually notice the onset and try to talk him into voluntary commitment while he's lucid but he doesn't go. I end up spending 3 days at home staying up hours at a time trying to get through to him and him spiraling. Then either calling an ambulance or the cops just for him to go and be let out,then go a second time and be let out again within hours and then finally being involuntarily committed the 3rd time. Again, sorry for such a long post I'm just at my wits end. I truly love him but everything has changed.

I flit in here every once in awhile, and the anti-Serena diatribes are almost comical to me. For some reason, people seem to think that it's perfectly possible for June to grow and change, for Nick to grow and change, and for Luke to grow and change, but Serena will forevermore remain a cartoon character of swirling-mustache evil. It's pretty obvious to me (as an experienced storyteller and story-analyzer) that Serena is in the process of learning and reconsidering, and that all of that will come to fruition in the next season. She might well die (frankly, a heroic death would be a convenient way to satisfy both Serena haters and Serena sympathizers), but the idea that she'll do something EVIL or that June is going to kill her is just really, really poor reading. But, as I said, I'll enjoy what happens in the end! Carry on with your vitriol! :-)
