How many quarters make 25 dollars

I want to preface by saying a) I genuinely like my coworkers and boss and b) I am leaving my job in a few months as I’m moving out of state. Please don’t be a dick, I just wanted to vent.
I am a 23 year old with a bachelor’s and almost done with my master’s, and I am in a director position at a college. I connect a lot with the students we work with because I am closer in age to them than most of my colleagues, and so I am excited to provide a student perspective, and appreciate that my coworkers generally don’t view me as a child (though, it’s happened a few times). I get along with everyone I work with, which is mostly middle aged women. My boss, also a middle aged woman, is a good example of generational differences.
For instance, she is not worried about ChatGPT because “AI can never write as well as a real person” (false); she always thinks that her computer is the problem for why she can’t use Teams, and refuses my offer to help her; she LOVES meetings—she’s said multiple times that she gets her work done by being in meetings, and her entire team has discussed how it interferes with our efficiency, but she claims it is important to connect often via Zoom since we are mostly remote; she reads self-help or business books and then decides that we all need to read the book as a team, and also implement the strategies the authors outline, even if they don’t make sense for our institution. There’s other examples I could give, but it kind of sums her up.
The thing that drives me nuts is the generational beliefs that her and others I work with have. I am one of 2 employees under 25, and the other person is my friend who I suggested apply. It can be hard to find anyone who gets my perspective. For instance, what students want. Without surveying students, you can’t pretend you know what students want. BUT. I was an undergraduate only 2 years ago and I am currently a graduate student. Of anyone on my team, I have the most recent relevant experience as a student. When I adamantly stated that we should not get rid of First Year Seminars (those free 1 credit classes for mostly cohorted students to take their first semester to get acquainted with college), I was told that students don’t want them.
Guess what? Students want them, and coaches we hired to help up be a better college were baffled why we ever got rid of the FYS in the first place. I’m not saying they should blindly follow my perspective, but did they look into research? Because I brought specific texts that explained the value and important of offering those types of courses. All I was told is it is too expensive for us to have, and no one likes them. If that’s the case, we can get grants (literally my job) and we can revamp how they’re approached.
Same with completing removing undeclared majors. This has yet to backfire, but I know it will. We are a community college, and MOST students at our college aren’t sure what they want to major in. But executive leadership gets an idea, and that’s what they end up doing—no input from students or staff or faculty who actually interact with students all day.
In general, I just have a hard time with the views and ways of doing things that people in Gen X and Boomer generations tend to lean into. My mom, Gen X, has the same perspectives of working nonstop to be successful. I interviewed a candidate in his 70s (a man with two doctorates who sent me 15 questions before the interview, and his dissertation, for an entry level position) who bragged about security kicking him out for working til 12am. It’s so odd to me to be proud that you have no life outside of work. And I know this is what they were taught and blah blah. It’s just getting old.
I’ll be quitting for unrelated reasons (I’m actually a bit bummed, but I am moving with my partner out of state, which is exciting!) soon. But I’m wondering how it will be when I get a new job and inevitably work with older generations, since it took a while for my colleagues to view me as a capable person who can be in leadership.

I realized I’m a sapiosexual because I was able to recognize that someone is beautiful but I would not get attracted to them until I felt intellectually challenged by them. I do have a physical type too, but mostly I describe my type by a person’s character and intellectual capacity.
This is how attraction work for me: 1. Person exists. 2. They try to get my attention. 3. I don’t notice and accidentally ignore them. 4. They try to dress better or be nicer. 5. I continue to be indifferent to them. 6. I notice them doing something absolutely nerdy. 7. We talk all things nerd and agree on many topics! 8. I start noticing that their smile is beautiful and they have a nice chest! 9. They challenge me to a philosophical argument. 10. They somehow make many valid and interesting points and prove me wrong. 11. I suddenly wish they would use their pretty fingers to- 12. Now I have a full blown crush!
I am very curious to know how you feel attraction to someone as a sapiosexual!

I understand this isn’t right subreddit to ask but most of young adults and students could relate to my problem. Like I just feel so out of touch with life lately this past two years. Can’t seem to find this purpose, passion, motivation, drive to pursue and do anything. Yeah we here but what if we don’t feel this presence. How do we learn to live in the presence moment instead of our head surrounded by thoughts & overthinking. It’s like I want to do something with my life, but self doubts, insecurities, not having concrete plan, confusion, am I making the right decision type of questions rise up and down everyday but end up with no answer. Feeling emotionally mentally drained, physically exhausted.
I see so many young kids, taking risks and challenges despite their struggles and problems in life whether it’s finically, relations and academics. not knowing the outcome, gives me so much anxiety that I end up not trying. Because there is no fuel in my soul to pursue and go after it. When people have a vision, goal, desire they automatically feel so alert and aware. And I’m living in thick brain fog. I letting myself down and I’m realizing all this but don’t have no willpower

If anybody would like to discuss the situation here, please go ahead. That's assuming this post doesn't get deleted, which suddenly feels like a real possibility lol.
Here's my pitch:
I am a 3rd party app user because the layout and functionality of the official reddit app truly hurts my neurodivergent brain. I am also a queer and trans person who relies on reddit for community, connection, and education in all sorts of areas (like, say, my practice of the craft!) but especially in areas related to gender and sexuality.
One of the ways the new policies will be "killing 3rd party apps" is by restricting/banning NSFW content outside of the official app. Queer and trans folks share a lot of explicit material on reddit besides porn (tho let's be real a lot of the porn is great!), for the purposes of connecting with each other, celebrating each other, and asking for information and advice and support. My ability to access this content through reddit has been literally lifesaving to me, and I know I'm not alone here. The proposed changes to the reddit API, etc., will create an enormous accessibility issue for me and many, many other users. Either I will lose access to these communities entirely, or I'll be forced to engage in them in a way that also feels actively mentally destructive.
The ease with which the mod post dismissed this situation was truly shocking to me. Maybe I've been wrong to expect the high level of solidarity from the witchy folks that I historically have. I'm sure there are anti-vaxxers and tradwives in our craft these days. Maybe the political position of the stickied mod post shouldn't have come as a surprise. I just don't understand how y'all think that they won't be coming for your tarot cards after they come for my HRT.
This blackout protest may not accomplish anything permanent in the eyes of our reddit overlords, but it will make people like me feel seen and valued and supported within the communities that choose to participate. Obviously the mods have spoken and blacking out the sub or not is their call to make. But maybe the witchcraft community as a whole has more to say.

Seriously, it's been about 3 months since I quit my last job (please read my post history if you're curious) and I still haven't been paid for the work I did. I thought I was following all the steps I could to retrieve my paycheck from them and honestly, I am exhausted and my mental health is going down the drain. I filed a wage claim with the state, I contacted the IRS (again due to the reasons for me quitting) and they wouldn't do anything unless the wage claim was settled by the state. Which I also didn't know before contacting the IRS that they would only be able to recover minimum wage ($7.25 for my state) from the hours I worked if the wage claim didn't give me back everything.
I have also hounded the wage claim office and they told me these things take months, usually longer than that because the employer has not responded. I have also reached out to numerous local attorneys and nobody is returning my calls.
On top of everything the work I did, as an intern, is currently available on their website for purchase and nobody will know the person behind it didn’t get paid for the work they did. And that the last paycheck was going to be a rent payment. And that they also had to work two jobs to make ends meet while working for them. And that (last one I swear) I have to seek counseling after dedicating myself to a job (I even quit my other one) that pays less than a living wage only to be threatened and discarded like trash.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a something that poor people can do to recover the money they actually worked for? I don’t want any more or less, just what I am due. I just graduated college and I can’t take the possibility of working for people knowing that if they aren’t stealing my money, they are exploiting me in another way.
TL/DR: I’m owed money from my last toxic employer, I’ve tried everything I can think of, got any suggestions? Also just had to rant about how horrible I feel right now

I'm not exactly sure how to do this because I've never done it before so I'm just going to jump right in and hope for the best. My friend and I recently got into an argument over her current boyfriend. So to summarize the argument basically she texted in our friends group chat not to tag or post her in anything online because her boyfriend would be mad at her and it's not the first instance for something like this is happened. He won't let her talk to her friend because he's a dude and he gave the ugliest looks and was really rude to a mutual friend of ours even though we told him multiple times that he's gay and he clearly has a boyfriend. She also got mad at her one time because a female friend of hers had her head in her lap well they were having girl talk and he saw and got really mad at her and continued to ignore her for a week straight. And when they finally did talk he was really closed off and rude about it. So now that you have a summary of all the things he's done and why I don't like him here's my issue I've talked to her multiple times about his treatment of her and how it's just not right. She realizes that it's really for lack of better words messed up situation yet she continues to stick it out with this dude even though she always seems to be walking on eggshells when she's with him in fear of making him mad and starting a whole argument. So earlier today and we're in the group chat and she told us about not tagging or posting her online anymore I was giving her my usual thoughts on the dude she's with and of course she could to argue her point and one of our other friends told her yeah it was fine it was just really complicit about the whole situation. And I didn't understand why he would be so fine with it even though he knows just how bad this dude is messing with her head. She's cried so many times and basically has questions herself a lot. One of the main things she questions herself on is whether he has a problem with her being bi because he also did not like her best friend because he was convinced she was flirting with his girlfriend. Anyways back to the argument so I ended up arguing with both my friends about the situation because they were perfectly fine just pretending like the situation was grade a dandy and nothing was wrong and that walking on eggshells around your significant other is perfectly normal and that's just how it is. I even talked with my mom about the situation and she basically said the same thing that I was just all up in her business. So I want to know if I was doing right by trying to explain to my friend how toxic her relationship really is or if I was just being nosy?

The flares had gone up, but the gates remained shut. Martin hadn’t stopped staring at them since the troops had moved into position. He’d only paused to blink.
It was unlikely they’d been betrayed. The Water Tower had fallen to their forces after all. That being said, there were always delays in military operations—
Martin blinked. The gates were swinging open.
“Alright everybody! Up and at them. Mages, smoke us up! Musketeers suppressing fire!”
Cheers rang out along the line as puffs and clouds of mist and smoke began to shroud the Lightning Battalion. Horns blared as the wave of soldiers charged.
Martin was at the head of them, shield raised. He knew his kit was a little archaic, but frankly he could use the extra protection at the moment.
As they neared the gatehouse, Martin could hear sounds of battle within. As he made it over the drawbridge and into the building he could see a ring of soldiers marked with blue and red armbands trying to defend the opened second gate against a flood of soldiers coming from the main castle building.
“For Erisdale!” Martin bellowed.
He and the Lightning Battalion plunged into the melee with troops flooding through the gatehouse,.. Martin managed to slam his shield into one of Darius’s soldiers and stab them, before stepping back to look around.
Already he had teams of soldiers rushing up to help with those fighting in the gatehouse proper. Musketeers were taking position and the mages they had were casting spells at the incoming reinforcements.
There were a lot of Darius’s troops coming, though. They were rushing out of every door, and from every tower to concentrate on the breach.
Martin grimaced. He was sure that he was going to break through at some point, but it would take time. The rest would have to be up to Jessica’s team.
“Come on! We’re nearly there,” said Elizabeth.
Leaning heavily on her, Leila limped as fast as she could. They’d healed her as much as they could but she was still exhausted from the ordeal she’d suffered.
“Why don’t you just carry me—” Leila cut herself off with a Word of Power. Several soldiers were running down road leading to the Citadel, trying to intercept the pair. A fireball erupted from in front of them and smashed into the unfortunate enemies, blasting them off their feet. Leila waved Elizabeth’s arched eyebrow off. “Nevermind. Give me a moment.”
“Yeah, hard to cast if you’re being carried.” Elizabeth paushed to look behind, down toward the city. The way the Traditionalist defense line had been structured was that it left a protected section of the city between the Citadel and the Water Tower.
Before her eyes, Erlenbergian ships were pulling into the harbour, disgorging hundreds of marines and mages that stormed into the city. The Traditionalist forces that had been attempting to retake the Water Tower were now flanked. It would take time however, until they could take control of the area and make their way to the Citadel.
But at least at this moment, the gate that led up to the Citadel proper was unguarded, the drawbridge down. The soldiers having been stripped to defend the city and the main gatehouse or try to secure the harbour.
“You ready?” Elizabeth asked, glancing at Leila.
The Otherworlder shook her head. “Nope, but I need to be at Janize’s side,” she croaked out.
Elizabeth giggled. “Well, since you are hopelessly in love with her. Let’s get you there.”
Leila rolled her eyes. “Fuck you,” she stammered, but she was unable to help herself from smiling.
Scarlet was damn good and tricky to fight against. The head of the Red Order had stored a number of spells into her magical rings, which she used to vary up her arsenal. Fireballs would be followed by vines sprouting from the ground. The earth would suddenly ice up, followed by gusts of wind that would try to knock Ayax off her feet. She was also very fast, and Ayax found herself dancing around Darius’s garden, using whatever cover she could and shields to keep herself safe.
The problem was that as the fight drew on and Scarlet continued to keep throwing spells, the outcome of the fight became clearer and clearer.
Ayax was not the head of a mage order. She didn’t quite have the extensive magical equipment that Scarlet had in her possession. Scarlet also had a powerful magical gift and the cost of it was not a mobility impairment. Leila had told Ayax that Scarlet was missing an eyeball, having replaced her missing eye with a glass replica.
That pupil-less eyeball now glimmered at Ayax as the troll returned Scarlet’s fireball with a larger fireball of her own, forcing the mage to take cover behind a statue of a knight that was blasted apart. Scarlet stepped out to cast, but Ayax was faster, she had already thrown several magical cards. They slammed into the red-robed mage, crackling and popping, smoke and sparks blinding the woman. She barely managed to get a shield up but instead of hitting her again, Ayax paused for a split second before throwing more cards.
These hit Scarlet clean again and she screamed as she staggered, firing magical bolts wildly. Ayax practically just sidled behind a tree and watched the mage pant as she gathered her own power.
No, Ayax had none of Scarlet’s money or ability, but she did have years of seeing the most intense frontline combat of the Great War. She had trained against the most powerful mages of her time, Edana and Frances Windwhistler. She was a gifted mage in her own right with unparalleled athleticism and grace. And to top it all off, she had read Scarlet’s rhythm of casting and was now very much in it and messing with her.
Oh and she’d exhausted Scarlet by making her cast all the spells she had.
So when Ayax threw Frances’s lightning spell over her shoulder, Scarlet only barely blocked it. The woman was knocked backwards and slammed into the perimeter wall of the mansion.
Ayax was soon charging after her. Scarlet managed to fire a torrent of water at her, but the troll sang, drawing up a wind that lent speed to her step and pulling up a mound of earth that blocked the jet. She ducked under the woman’s clumsy attempt to cast a slashing spell at her, and slammed her staff into Scarlet’s head.
Blood poured from the cut across her skull, and the woman crumpled to the ground. Her glass eyeball popped out from the force of the blow, rolling onto the glass. For good measure, Ayax grabbed Scarlet’s wand and pocketed it. She also cast a binding spell that would stick the woman’s arms and legs together so she couldn’t get up.
Then she stared.
One of her parent’s killers was lying in front of her, unconscious and helpless. Scarlet wouldn’t even know if Ayax cut her throat with a dagger. It was more mercy than she deserved.
Biting her lip so hard Ayax thought she was going to cut herself, she turned on her heel. The troll forced marched herself away, thinking of her dear Elizabeth and how she needed help.
Step after step turned into a run and soon Ayax was racing down the city streets for the gate leading to the Citadel.
As she rounded a corner, she saw a column of soldiers fast-marching, also towards the main castle.
“Ayax!” called out a very filthy red-haired woman.
The troll ran up to her friend. “Ginger, oh dear, that was a horrible trip wasn’t it?” Ayax asked as she took in Ginger’s odor.
“Yes. I strongly advise you don’t touch me,” said Ginger. She tilted her head to another approaching mage, whose orange dress quickly gave up her identity.
“Ophelia Voidsailor, good to see you in person!” Ayax exclaimed, clasping her fellow Erlenbergian’s deformed hand.
“Ayax Windwhistler. We never settled who won the Winter Tournament did we?” Ophelia asked.
“I conceded to you if I recall.”
“Bah! That doesn’t count! I want a rematch once this is all over!” Ophelia giggled. She coughed into her fist. “We’ve secured the harbour and the Water Tower. The Traditionalist’s remaining forces are running to the Citadel.”
“Excellent, lets hope Janize holds out long enough for us to get there,” said Ginger, starting to jog again.
It was terribly un-queenly behaviour and perhaps didn’t do the best for the morale of her soldiers, but Janize decided not to sit in her throne. Rather, she was using the very large chair as cover and had opted to sit on a simple wooden chair.
Even then she wasn’t entirely safe and despite herself, she couldn’t help but hold onto a bunch of her crimson hair, as she desperately attempted to keep her breathing level.
Erisdale’s throne room featured the standard long hallway leading up to an upraised dais and two thrones. It also had a second-level gallery meant for nobles to be able to gather and watch the proceedings. This gallery comprised of two large rooms open to the throne room itself. Sculpted stone railings kept the onlookers safe. Underneath the upper galleries were two covered hallways which functioned as ways for people to go up and down the the throneroom without just walking through the main hall.
Normally, there were ways to get to the upper galleries, but the soldiers loyal to Janize had barricaded these entrances. They could not however, barricade the stairways to the entrances that were near the throne room’s main entrance and led up to the galleries. Their defense relied on them holding the throne room’s main front.
Naturally, that had been the focus of the assault by Darius and his soldiers.
“Master George, I distinctly recall you informing me the Throne room was the safest in the Citadel?” Janize mused ass stray bullets whizzed over their heads.
Crouched down beside her behind an upturned table, George smiled wanly. “Yes. It has enough space to hold the soldiers loyal to you, and the entrances can easily be blocked off. The other barricaded entrances can also be opened if we want to make a break for it. So yes, this is the safest place when you consider the other option is your personal chambers which can’t hold all your guards.” Fluidly rising to his feet, George fired a musket down and reloaded. “Hang tight, I’m going to check on the other barricades.”
Janize nodded slowly. She was getting a bit better at not wincing at every crack and whine from the spells and bullets that were sailing through the throne room door. That had been the first to fall and followed by a charge from the Traditionalists. However, the numerous barricades of tables and furniture that had been stacked to form several lines had checked the enemy’s advance.
So a vicious melee had developed at the entrance, with both sides firing guns and spells over the tops of each other’s heads. Janize was no military tactician, but she knew that if Darius’s soldiers gained the galleries, they were in deep trouble. They were also losing those galleries.
Elizabeth arched an eyebrow at Leila. They were now in the castle proper which was unsurprisingly deserted. The non-combatants having fled or hid. “Leila, where are we going. The throne room’s front door is not this way.”
“Yes, but unless you want to get completely fucked by the mass of troops probably fighting there, we’re going to have to break in to help them—” Leila stopped so quickly, Elizabeth nearly dragged her forward.
A column of soldiers were spilling out from one of the corridors into the hall. Their boots were caked in indescribable brown stuff and from this distance, Leila and Elizabeth could smell where they had come from.
At the head of the group of soldiers was a blonde woman with a cat mask. Thier were both Alavari and human and they all had light-blue armbands or hauberks emblazoned with a silver lightning symbol.
“Jessica?” Leila whispered.
“Leila, it’s been a long time.” The masked Otherworlder’s reply was cool. Elizabeth did notice a tremor in her voice.
“Jess, I’m so sorry. I was an idiot and I—”
Tearing off her mask, Jessica took several long steps to Leila and seized her in an embrace. “I missed you.”
Leila couldn’t help but cry. “I missed you too—OW!”
Jessica had flicked Leila’s forehead with a finger. Smiling, crying and scowling at the same time. “Also, fuck you for trying to blast me, several times.”
“Sorry,” Leila croaked.
Jessica gently stroked Leila’s hair. “And I’m sorry for calling you a monster.”
Leila managed a watery giggle. “I deserved it.”
The pair laughed and let go of one another. “Right, which way to save your queen? Also, you alright? You look like a wreck,” said Jessica.
“This way.” Leila said, leaning on Jessica’s shoulder for support. “Oh wow you really did crawl through a sewer.”
“Eat shit, or did you already?”
Jessica snorted. “Fuck you.”
“Glad to see you getting along, but how are we going to make sure we take down a barricade without getting shot at?” Elizabeth asked.
“You’ll see!” warbled Leila.
After dispatching a band of Traditionalist soldiers, they’d come to a doorway that looked fairly ordinary but as Leila laid her hands on the wall it shimmered. “Yo, George! Don’t shoot! Reinforcements are here!”
A slot in the door opened up and there was quick peek. From the other side they heard a great sigh of relief.
“Thank God, get in here.” Their was some scrabbling and the door swung open to reveal the blonde-haired Otherworlder warrior. “They’re making another push. Good thing you remembered the designated escape hatch.”
“Ah, you left an emergency exit, a sally port. Good idea,” said Elizabeth. “Musketeers to the galleries and check your powder before you start shoting. Jessica, Leila, get to the queen. I want a section to guard the sally.”
There was a thunderous bellow from the outside of the throne room. Then another louder one.
“They’re hyping themselves up. This is it!” George bellowed. “Leila get to the queen!”
“Holdup.” Jessica picked Leila up and leapt off the railing. Her friend screamed as they dropped down, only slowing at the last minute due to Jessica’s spell.
George stared at the pair for a moment, but Elizabeth had grabbed onto him and was dragging him. “Let’s get to the front, hurry!”
Janize peaked behind her throne. “Leila!”
The queen was soon embraced by the shaking Otherworlder. “I’m sorry. This is um, Jessica.”
“A pleasure I’m sure, but we are in a dicey spot.” Jessica ushered the pair behind the throne and began casting. Leila soon joining her.
A flood of armored knights had forced the throne room’s entrance. The sheer mass of the column was overwhelming the defenders at the entrance. Leila could see George and Elizabeth fighting furiously back to back against the tide. Elizabeth’s war hammer taking out a knight with every swing, whilst George’s spear flickered into weakspots and gaps in enemy armor like a snake. Far above on the right gallery, the Lightning Battalion’s musketeers were raining musket and magefire down on them.
Yet Darius’s troops were forcing themselves up the staircase to the left side gallery, which didn’t have the additional Lightning Battalion troops.
“Jess! Left side!” Leila hissed.
“I know, shit!” The pair turned their attention to the gallery on the left, unleashing fireballs and bolts of magic. That kept any attackers and musketeers who wanted to shoot back pinned down, but they had a mage on the left gallery that kept shielding their attacks.
It also meant the flood of attackers pouring through the throne room doors only increased.
“Elizabeth where the fuck are your troops!” Leila screamed.
Ayax knew she wasn’t going through the front door, but after running around the throne room’s upper galleries she was wondering if there was any other way in.
As she hammered on a final door, a familiar human face peeked through the slot.
“Captain!”
“Helen, good to see you!”
“Get in here and duck!” Ayax’s adjutant opened the door and lead the troll into the throne room. She instantly could see that things were not going well. Musketeers filled the gallery opposing them they were ducking behind a black-haired mage’s shield due to Leila and Jessica shooting at them. However, that meant Jessica and Leila weren’t casting at the knights charging through the throne room.
Ayax could glimpsed Elizabeth locked in a duel with another knight that she dispatched, another Otherworlder protecting her flanks. The pair were pulling back, though and the Lightning Battalion soldiers trying to come down the gallery stairs were forced to come in single line
And Traditionalist forces kept pushing. No matter how many were shot dead, the armored men and women were storming forward, stepping over the bodies of dead comrades with a desperate, furious pace. At the centre of the column was a man surrounded by the biggest and burliest knights Ayax had ever seen and with gold-trimmed armour.
It was Darius and he was in her sight. Ayax blinked, started forward and shook her head. He wasn’t the priority. He couldn’t be the priority. She could see black magic leaking out from her hand, but she forcefully kept her gaze on the gallery.
Taking a deep breath Ayax bellowed, “Clear the way!” Running forward, Words of Power pouring from her lips, she leapt over the railing.
Elizabeth was very nearly distracted by a glimpse of her girlfriend doing a superhero impression as she flew across the top of the Throne Room, carried by her magic. Ayax, her staff punched forward like a spear, slammed into the first musketeer she saw. The Traditonalists ran, trying to make space but that also gave space for Ayax to run after the panicked looking black haired mage.
Whirling her staff around, she slammed him so hard he crashed into the wall with a sickening thud. Then she was hitting the musketeers, sending them flying with her strikes. Even so, musket balls screeched by her, nearly missing her. More musketeers were pointing their weapons at her.
A massive fireball slammed into the railing, setting enemy uniforms aflame. Ayax glanced over the railing to see Leila give her a brief wave before turning back to keep firing at Earl Darisus’s guards. The troll blinked, but there was no time to contemplate, she had to keep fighting. Leaping forward, she sent another human soldier flying. Torquing around, she ducked under a bayonet stab and punted a human woman into a wall.
When she turned around to look for another opponent, Ayax froze. The remaining musketeers were fleeing, retrating down the gallery stairs and away from her. However, there was a blonde haired woman on the gallery with a fox-fur lined coat. She was aiming a musket, but not at Ayax. Instead, she was pointing it toward the dais of the throne.
Ayax’s eyes immediately took in the trajectory of the musket and the scowling dark-haired Otherworlder she was pointing it at. Leila, while taking cover from the bullets and bolts of magic from the main entrance’s direction, was exposed to the woman’s shot.
I could let her. It wouldn’t be me. It’d be an accident. Janize can’t blame us for a battle. We’d still have her surrender.
Besides, Leila doesn’t deserve to live. Why should she live after all the wrongs she’s committed? Why shouldn’t I just let her die.
Nobody would know. Few would care.
Ayax glanced down at her hands and at her staff. There was no black magic pooling around her. It was just her. Her decision to save or let die, the woman who killed her mother.
This was a woman who’d apologized and promised to let her do whatever she wanted to her. Who sought not her own safety but to protect the life and the child of the one she loved.
Ayax bit her lip and charged the enemy musketeer. However, her hesitation had cost her. She could see the musketeer pulling the trigger. There was no time for a Word of Power. Ayax slammed into her the musketeer. The weapon cracked, the bullet whizzing off course as Ayax pushed the woman over the railing.
But the screaming woman now grabbed onto Ayax and the troll found herself tumbling over.
Acting on instinct, the troll seized her enemy with both hands, her cat-like tail twisting to try to direct their momentum. The pair fell down, but Ayax was managing to get her legs atop the woman. Acting more on instinct, Ayax leapt off the musketeer, slammed into a Traditionalist knight and rolled clumsily over the ground.
Dazed by the impact, her sides and wrists screaming with pain, Ayax could just hear a stomach-churning thud. She chanced a glance and immediately looked away. The woman was very clearly dead, having hint the stone floor headfirst.
It was then she saw that standing over her was the heavily armoured Earl Darius halted dead in his tracks. He lifed his visor, and Ayax could see that despite the sweat that trickled down his face, his eyes remained wide with horror and rage.
“You killed her. You killed my daughter!” Roaring like a wounded animal, Darius swung down at Ayax with his sword. She managed to get her staff up, the metal chomping into the wood. Again and again the Earl brought his weapon down. Aching, exhausted and far far too close for comfort, Ayax scrabbled back, trying to escape. But the earl was possessed with grief and fury and the desperation of a cornered animal.
“Die! Die! Die and join your father and mother!”
Author’s Note: Oh dear, so Ayax has gotten over her anger, but… she pissed off Darius anyway!

I understand this isn’t right subreddit to ask but most of young adults and students could relate to my problem. Like I just feel so out of touch with life lately this past two years. Can’t seem to find this purpose, passion, motivation, drive to pursue and do anything. Yeah we here but what if we don’t feel this presence. How do we learn to live in the presence moment instead of our head surrounded by thoughts & overthinking. It’s like I want to do something with my life, but self doubts, insecurities, not having concrete plan, confusion, am I making the right decision type of questions rise up and down everyday but end up with no answer. Feeling emotionally mentally drained, physically exhausted.
I see so many young kids, taking risks and challenges despite their struggles and problems in life whether it’s finically, relations and academics. not knowing the outcome, gives me so much anxiety that I end up not trying. Because there is no fuel in my soul to pursue and go after it. When people have a vision, goal, desire they automatically feel so alert and aware. And I’m living in thick brain fog. I letting myself down and I’m realizing all this but don’t have no willpower

I’m getting married in a year to my girlfriend of 6 years. We had a off and on past, broke up for a year, then rekindled our relationship. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world who makes me laugh and supports me. I’m grateful for her and everything she does for me.
I’m an only child and have a tenuous at best relationship with my mom and dad, particularly my mom. She is wonderfully creative and smart, she was a successful school teacher for 25 years. She can paint just about anything and able to make especially children feel special and warm.
However, there is also a tremendous anger within her. She doesn’t have much close friends and those that are close keep distance. She has two sisters who don’t speak a lot to her and when they do also are wary. I’m fortunate that one of them lives close a long with her mom and dad who she does spend time with. This time usually degenerates into her yelling at my grandmother for whatever she is mad at the particular moment.
She has been physically violent towards myself at times and my dad. She is also pretty verbally abusive and prone to outbursts.
There are plenty of examples I have of this. She’s thrown a suitcase at me while I was recovering from knee surgery. She’s thrown a plate at my dad countless times. She’s hit me for expressing sadness for not having any siblings. It’s been taxing but I’ve worked these out in therapy and am able to love my mom while getting that she isn’t the best parent in the world.
More recently, my mom has (to the shock of my family) been less than accepting of my wife entering the family. When I told my mom I was getting back together with my wife-to-be, she showed up at my apartment with all my childhood belongs. When I told her I was looking at rings, she told me how ashamed she was of me. When me and my wife went to there home along with my mother in law my mom didn’t speak to us at all, took my mother in law aside and said she thought I was being shameful and we both needed couples counseling. I went and saw them to try and clear some air after this event and it degenerated (as it always does) into her saying she is ashamed I am her son, I should feel shame for who I am as a person, and she had love for me but is no longer able to love me.
I’m not here to tell you I’m an angel. When my mom says these things I do fight back. Cry a bit sure, but I also called her a bad mom for wanting me to feel shame (think I’m right on that one tho). The evil part is it feels and has always felt she finds immense joy in causing someone to suffer and feel her pain. It’s not the best feeling.
You may be wondering where my dad is in all of this which is a reasonable question. He mostly just sits and watches things degenerate. When my mom feels aggrieved she’ll use him as a mediator to force me to apologize. He will, sometimes, stand up to her, but it’s always tepid at best.
This has caused him most of his close relationships. His brother doesn’t speak much to my dad and they aren’t close. My mom never liked his friends much so they didn’t last in our lives. She is the Sun, he is a loyal satellite.
In the past the obvious issue of conflict resolution and reconciliation was alleviated. I was the son and had to apologize to my mom for an argument. Never really matter what she said or if she hit me, what mattered was I was wrong about something and that caused the whole ordeal.
The problem now is I obviously don’t have the same constraints on our relationship. My wife to be doesn’t like how my parents, particularly my mom, treat me or her. My mom isn’t particularly nice to her and doesn’t show any affection. It affects me and her negatively on an emotional level to have them around. To her, easy solution, don’t really have them.
My therapist has echoed a similar sentiment. My mom has issues that won’t change. My dad is complacent. The truth is when I don’t have them, I am pretty happy. I’ve gotten closer to my aunts as uncles. I am close to my grandparents and cousins. I have wonderful friends who support me and fill the void left by my folks.
However, I do feel a duty to them. I don’t want to be a son who causes the collapse of a familial unit. There is a part of me that thinks I am just being emotionally soft and I’m just overreacting. Im sure that’s my moms voice in my head, but it is a hard one to break.
I guess the question is how do you reconcile a broken relationship without any real hope or tools to fix it? How do walk the tight rope of loving people with deep seated pain and resentment at the same time?

he's fuckin on one tonight, it's sad how delusional he is. it's also sad the never ending comments like "do a rail" "THEYRE BEHIND YOU" "they're looking for you josh they're gonna k*ll you" as well as his number being copy and pasted constantly, super hectic night. longest we've gone without a "what does b a n n e d mean"

(23M) & my bf (22M) met in October 2021, we first started a friendship as he was in a long distance & open relationship with someone else. Fast forward to December & we have been meeting everyday & hanging out every second of the day. Ofcourse the sexual tension between us kept growing till he eventually pulled a move & kissed me, all while hes still in his relationship. 3 weeks pass by & he ends his relationship & we start dating right away in 2022.
Our relationship continued to July before it ended in an argument. We have been fighting often at that point & in the middle of a conversation he pulls the "we should end this" card. He takes it back & starts to profusely apologize for it, but it was too late. Once i heard these words i stuck to my ego & decided to hold on tight to that decision he took & have him face its consequences.
We lightly kept contact all through the year & by January 2023 i had already began dating someone new which I informed my Ex about & he had someone else that there was something between them cooking. Fast forward a month & half in February, i leave my rebound relationship with the new guy & ask my Ex to get back with me. Few bumps along the road & we do get back together exclusively with the rule of that we will start dating till we finally get the hang of the relationship & feel that we know each other perfectly for us to make it official.
Now to present time, yesterday we were speaking when i opened up to him about how i feel that he has been restricting himself from our connection & many inconsistencies started to show. He finally tells me that he has been considering a break up whenever we would argue or fight or just simply not be having a good day. I felt a very heavy weight getting placed on my heart. I love him alot & i dont want to ever lose him but i also want to protect myself just in case if he pulls a fast one like last time & just breaks up with me out of nowhere.
He mentioned that he will start therapy to fix our relationship as he sees that most issues & pressure that comes from this relationship is from his end & that he wants to fix it, but im scared. I spoke to him regarding therapy that whoever is giving him the session may suggest a break up or that maybe we just arent meant for one another. He assured me that then he would change his therapist since he will communicate with his therapist from the first session that he just wants me & wants to fix the relationship. Thus he expects the therapist to help him keep me & make him able to show love & be consistent as he finds that very difficult.
I suggested that we take some distance since im scared of the outcome & i dont want to build my hopes up for them to come crashing down on me if he ends the relationship. But he assured me that a break up isnt an option he has in mind & he even asked me to bare him just till he gets therapy & works his issues out.
Ill be honest & say that im someone who has always been in a relationship & i just grew up seeing love all around me, thus i really want to feel it too. While hes someone who grew up very independent & almost without any sense of love around him. Hes factual & im emotional, he would rather solve his issues right away while id rather cry about them first. Our love languages are also very different. I prefer physical contact & acts of love & he prefers communication & verbally including each other in conversations. His way of showing love to me is always preserved as the bare minimum.
Im not sure what to do anymore. Part of me wants to wait it out, & wait for him to get therapy & possibly get better in communication & dealing with our relationship. But another part just wants to end it to get some sense of control over this situation that i have zero control in. Its like im scared he would leave me thus id leave first. How should act in the future regarding all of this?

Blake Grimes had the life she wanted. She was the best in her class. She went to medical school and did her residency in Emergency Medicine. She had a boyfriend. Everything was perfect in her personal and work life. She was used to the rush and adrenaline of running around and saving lives. Now, it was to save the life of her family.
It has been 3 years since the outbreak. Having dealt with walkers and people that wanted them dead. The kind and sarcastic woman hardened over time. Alongside her brother, they both helped lead their group. Both worked together to do what is needed to be done. Blake being more logical while Rick is more emotional, driven and impulsive. The Grimes siblings keep each other sane, for the most part.
That all changes when the group are kneeling on gravel in the cold, dead night. Harsh lights shining on them and dangerous men surprising them. Shake breaths left her mouth as she tried to keep herself together for whatever fate they may face. She could hear some whimpering around them, but she just tried to think of how to get out of this. Whether it was through bargaining or force, no doubt the prior. So many thoughts ran though her head, trying to come up with a way to keep everyone safe. Her family. Her brother and nephew.
Hello! So, I have had this idea in mind for a while. Obviously there will be changes from what happened in the show. I do not intend for Negan to go fully good. There are a few ways this could play out and I'd love to discuss them with you!
Requirements: I'd hope to do this rp with someone that's 21 or older, someone around my age. I do not ask to write a whole novel, but I don't want just a few sentences. I do love OOC talk to discuss ideas and just make a fun story for the both of us.

I am a 21 year old female. My mother is drop dead gorgeous. She looks so much like Anna Nicole Smith. I have long blonde hair dark brown eyes I'm 5'7 I dress nice, workout i have a skinny hour glass figure. I have been told my whole life by strangers how beautiful I am. When I enter a room even though l'm a quiet girl I consume a lot of the attention. My ex would call me a wallflower. I get attention from men most of the time i ignore it or just act friendly and very surface level. In high school had a fan club of guys who would fantasize over me. When I begin to talk with a guy he thinks that i am just everything he is looking for. However my past two relationships I begin to really like the two men Back a lot. I would talk to them about how much like them to as well. Then they start to not treat me the same way that they used to. They begin to treat me worse after I begin to feel for them what they said they were feeling for me as time went on. Then they do something that is unforgivable to me. I stop seeing them for awhile. We rekindle things after them asking over and over for us to get back together. One ex told me before "I don't know why but I fell in love with you so much after you broke up with me." I don't treat them like I used to because of what they did to me. I start to treat them like crap, l'm unresponsive, and I quit frankly begin to slowly despise them. Telling them I'm not interested. Then hear comes the I love you so much the hundreds of Dollars they throw at me and the gifts and the efforts. When in the middle of our relationship when cared for you, supported you, gave you nothing but kindness, and loyalty you begin to disrespect me and went from treating me like a was everything to nothing to everything once again. WHAT'S THE DEAL. I met a guy and I am beginning to like him he's a good guy and has many qualities I like in a partner. Is he going to start this to if I always give his texts a response and hang out with him and tell him that I really like him as well. DO I JUST HAVE TO PLAY EXTREMELY HARD TO GET FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND TAKE IT ALL LIGHTHEARTED. I don't understand. This has happened to me in 4 relationships like a pattern. Men and women of Reddit what is the deal here?
