The sleep of reason produces monsters.

Just use Shadowheart's Minor restoration right after you wake up. You don't have to have the debuff and his buff won't go away if you dispel your Bloodless.

what that mouth do

complain

[toobertpoondert]

My advice to people, but especially kids, who are invested in celebrities, be they actors, musicians, bloggers, youtubers, authors, whatever, is to keep your distance. No matter how happy their content makes you, no matter how strong the pull of a special interest/hyperfixation/obsession might be, it’s important to step back every so often.

Do you find yourself following them on all forms of social media? Do you follow their friends and family, who might not even make content themselves? Do you research their lives? Step back. Just because they are famous doesn’t mean it’s okay to engage in stalking behavior.

Do you find yourself getting anxious if you miss a video, or they upload off schedule? Step back. I know they can help you through dark times but you can’t rely on them all the time.

Would you be devastated if they turned out to be a not-so-nice person? Step back. You can only trust them as much as you trust any stranger. Don’t see yourself up to be shattered if they fall off that pedestal you put them on.

No matter how much somebody interacts with their audience, the relationship is still parasocial. Just keep that in mind. Don’t put all your trust in a stranger. It’s okay to enjoy these people and their content, but keep your distance and step back.

Isn’t it a terrible feeling when you start to trust your parents again and your relationship gets better and you start to believe that have changed. That they have learned from their mistakes they made in your childhood and there finally nice people. Then they do something that reminds you that are the same rude, immature, volitile, and condescending people they have always been. Yeah it’s a terrible feeling.
