This drives me insane. The 5 gal jugs are so cheap to refill and keep using. I used one of those with a hand pump and a thin 1.5 gal jugs for my fridge for constant cold water when I lived where tap water wasn't doable. It was like 10¢ a gallon to refill the jugs and I always had delicious cold water at the ready. There is absolutely no need to create so much waste
As someone with a progressive disease: healing magic. I would pay all the bullion and cattle and sacks of wheat necessary to heal, or at least regress this stupid thing.
This is all spoilers, spoiler tagging doesn't really work so proceed with caution
Several from the Misborn series really hurt. I think Vin's death most affected me, but Kelsier was a hard one to swallow as well.
I think the biggest impact though is probably from Swan Song? Sister Creep hit me so hard. I read the book young and I'd never read anything so bittersweet and hopeful but so painful. It really stamped some new emotions in me I think.
Or, gosh, almost anyone in Bly Manor, but especially Dani.
Sauropods are so so so cool. It's just unfathomable for me to think of an animals that big.
In Spain, I think, there's evidence that they were so heavy that when they walked, it'd vibrate the earth enough to sort of resettle the sedimentary layers nearby. Absolutely wild.
Not DnD per se, but Pathfinder. I have several ideas in my back pocket haha.
Granny cloistered cleric, war priest, or life witch. She's an absolute mama bear who lost her son who was also an adventurer, and decided that no other parent should go through that. So she falls in with a little group and makes it her duty to keep them safe.
Pixie runic barbarian. I haven't totally looked into this, but I think that would allow the pixie to use a runic weapon that's a normal size so potentially the pixie wouldn't have to be in the same place or not be able to flank.
I don't really do resolutions, but I'm looking forward to 2025 being a (hopefully) better year. I've already started a few things but I have a lot on my sort of to-dos.
Find a new place to live
Finalize divorce
Focus on healthier foods, better habits
Take my dog to a wide open beach and let him run
Take back my independence
Hope and pray the new political administration is more incompetent than they want to be
Focus on my friends and found family, be a good person
The future holds so much right now and while I'm still struggling to feel optimistic, I do get the small tingles of hope now and again.
For girls/women, I think it's important to read The Gift of Fear, as well as The Care & Keeping of You.
Otherwise, as someone that basically did the same thing, I'd say never be afraid to Google something if you don't know it, and if possible get into therapy.
