This is the front and back of the Elf card, I am confused, is this normal?
I havent seen much info on this kind of thing online

For context, I grew up watching the Wakfu show when episodes were still coming out (season 2 not having been made yet)
I played for a bit but left the account dormant and do not know if I deleted it or not (oh well)
I remember sucking at it but wish to maybe get back into it.

I barely even played any MMO's, do you recommend this one? if so which version? what class is beginner friendly?

For context: I’m 20 (F) with a chronic illness. I was raised Catholic, grew up in the church, and read the Bible closely. I left the faith and became an atheist after seeing the contradictions in scripture and the flaws in how God is depicted.

Take the Book of Job. God and the Devil make a wager over whether Job’s faith can be broken. But God is supposed to be omniscient — he knew the outcome before the bet was even made. Job was never going to waver, and God already knew that.

That raises a real problem for free will. If the Devil represents free will’s dark side, tempting people away from God, but God already knows exactly how it ends, then what free will is actually being exercised? The outcome isn’t a choice being discovered; it’s a fact being confirmed.

People often read Job as a reminder that suffering isn’t always punishment for our own sins. But an all-knowing God who lets Job suffer anyway, purely to win a bet whose result he already knew, isn’t a good God. Foreknowledge without intervention isn’t neutral. It’s complicity.

I have been seeing the rise of young adults and teens going into the Christian and Islamic faith. It has come to my attention that it is coming hand in hand with the rise of Anti-Intellectualism, Poor Reading Comprehension and Skills (The avg American having a 6th grade reading level), as well as the falling rates of education across the country.
We all know that American Faith and Politics go hand in hand, and I believe with the current administration ending we will either;

A - See christianity and other faiths fall and become unpopular in the public eye.

or

B - Stay strong and be weaponized for some other cause.

I am the only Anti-Theist in my family. I am very much accepted by my family, even though they tried converting me once while we visited the Vatican and if anything their very bad takes made me go from Atheist to Anti-Theist. What makes me different from my family though? My struggles. I am disabled, medicated, and just now starting an independent life.
I have noticed majority modern christians (who are hardcore) come from very comfortable backgrounds or do not have a deeper understanding of their faith beyond their old childhood bible studies where everything is watered down.
In hand the Islamic faith rising goes hand in hand with the rise of the Manosphere, as all the men in there are the kind to say their muslim and always say 'Walahi' over anything happening. I swear to you that past this election religeon will be seen as a trend with people saying; Omg remember when we LARPED being christians/muslims? lol.

I am barely into the book, just only page 47 and my goodness am I depressed.

I was diagnosed with Autism at 18, and as a woman its common for that to happen. Ever since my diagnosis journey I have become smarter and a bit more timid than before, and boy does this book remind me of that.

A short synopsis; The book follows Charlie Gordon, a man who is mentally delayed (Diagnosis so far not told) but from what I read he looks to have Autism. He undergoes a surgery that is supposed to make him smart, and the story told through his logs show his ever growing intelligence, painful self awareness and eventual regression.

Throughout the book we learn of his bullying, at first things playing out in his head as him laughing along with his co-workers jokes, only for it later to be realized (to him) that he is in fact being made fun of. This PAINFULLY reminded me of my own bullying as a kid, the way people make those jokes about 'my friend likes you' or the 'come sit with us' kind of spew. I remember so much as a kid being told things like 'I like your shirt' when in fact they would then laugh at me, or when a boy at lunch would ask me out, just to then say I'm weird for thinking he liked me.
I struggled a lot with developmental achievements, I could not read an analog clock till I was 12, tied my shoes successfully at age 9 and learned the days of the month in full at age 11. I failed math BADLY and almost failed school as well but now I am moving out and going to University and hour away (YIPEE).

This by far is an intense book for anyone with a mental/cognitive disability, do I recommend it so far? YES.

The book was written by a man who taught special needs students and based off the story from a student who asked him; If I just work hard enough can I be as smart as everyone else.

I spent most of my childhood denying my femininity.
I was severely bullied by my female peers, I never learned to make a braid by having someone in class do it for me, I learned through my mother at age 19.
I hated the color pink till recently and spent most of my time alone as I don't know how to communicate with other women.
But that has not stopped me from loving my woman-ity.

I love being educated, I love going against the system and proving everyone wrong while wearing makeup and having my nails and hair done.
I love looking prim and perfect yet cussing like a sailor at rude people and laughing like a donkey when hearing a good joke.
I love wearing my low rise jeans and push-up bra's while openly reading Frankenstein and other classics.

I see my inner cycle in the moon, the tides, the universes pulse. I feel the power within me to create life and withhold it from happening. I enjoy seeing mens demand for my love be denied by myself as I have too high of a standard for any man, making me feel like an intellectual goddess, a virgin of the fire keeping it lit.

Being a Woman is a universal experience, Nature itself experiencing it, the first sex being female, the foundation for the chicken to be born to have come from the egg laid before by its predecessor.

I LOVE BEING A WOMAN!

I am long time friends with a guy called 'D', I met him through his ex who I was friends with but she ended up ghosting both of us for a new guy. We tried being something but he told me he wasn't in the right time in life for it, I was heart broken and got a bad fever and body aches after it, since he confessed to me he wanted nothing days after taking my virginity.

Recently I reached out to him after a year to meet up, we didn't have any grudges, I just made fun of the asshole he was and he told me that he never wanted to hurt me and that his parent's disapproved of how he handled things (as he had introduced me to them and they liked me very much).

I still harbor feelings for him, he's that unconventionally attractive guy and has the personality I like, but I don't want to go after him I want him to go after me, I asked him if he wanted to go out to eat and celebrate my moving to a city an hour away for my studies and he said yes, but he is currently sick and will let me know when he's available.

How can I attract him to me? I don't have many supplies so I would prefer an easy to do spell, I have tarot but no candles and have attempted at different spells before and they never worked.

It has been 10 years since I attempted at my life, I am thriving, diagnosed and medicated; but the realization of what I did at such a young age has dawned on me.

I remember how impulsive it was, my mother had yelled at me for not helping around the house as much and I went and just drank house cleaner, only for it to not work.

I spent my teenage years suffering, at 12-13 I yelled at my little sister about how I didn’t want to live when she angered me, and honestly I was a mess. I stole, I lied, I failed at school, I baker-acted myself, but now 2 years diagnosed I’m better.

I am still paying for the stuff I did when undiagnosed, but the fact I even had thoughts of death before I was that age really saddens me, it makes me feel like my life is perpetual sadness.

When I tell people this they ask me what was going through my head, but to be fair it was a mix of things.
My family was Catholic, I was bullied at Sunday school, I did my communion alone. I moved around since I was born, I always had to learn different languages and I was bullied and undiagnosed with autism. I had severe anxiety and bad impulsive control. I lied my whole life about stupid things and sucked my finger to adult hood.

At 10 I was just so tired, I used kid logic for the world around me, the only logic adults give you and it didn’t make sense. They said I had so much to look forward to but didn’t, god is good pray to him but he never answered. And no matter where we moved it was always ‘the last place’.

My brain is mentally fried from this, I am very much still a kid at heart, I’m still afraid to make friends, I spend so much time on my vanity so I look presentable as an adult, I look for ways to look the part of a mature yet somewhat quirky woman, but I just want to curl up and be small again.

I remember the day when I was too heavy for my dad to pick me up into his arms, that day broke me, it’s a thought I constantly have, because I never grew out of being a kid.

WARNING: Mentions of Rape, Sex, SA

I keep hearing about case after case of young girls, ages 10 to 14 becoming pregnant as a result of rape, most often at the hands of older men. It HORRIFIES me to think that I got my period at 10 years old. I was still playing with dolls, and suddenly my body was capable of carrying a child.

With the sharp rise of extreme anti-abortion laws across the states, it's hard not to see this as something the far right is exploiting to grow the population. When fertility rates are measured (the number of children per woman in the U.S.), girls as young as 15 are included. Globally, that number starts at 10 years old.

There's also been a lot of online discourse framing the decline in teen pregnancy as some kind of "crisis," as if it's a problem that women are choosing to prioritize themselves. But who is actually doing that prioritizing? Grown women. Meanwhile, with the resurgence of conservative rhetoric, girls being discouraged from pursuing higher education, pushed toward marrying right after graduation, and raised to see being a stay-at-home wife as the goal, the message being sent to young girls is unmistakable: the moment they start bleeding, they become targets.

Edit: I have a Theory I also want discussed here, what if our early period's are caused by the hormones/chemicals put on purpose in our foods which (must) be known to cause early puberty in women only? with how much its been shown the upper class partakes in pedophilic behaviors, could this not be an excuse to bring in the subject that a woman is "someone who bleeds" therefor allowing them to take advantage of children?

I have been on a cruise vacation for the past 9 days, sharing a room with my two sisters and have been stuck sleeping on the couch (4th vacation in a row like this).
I have come to realize how many problems my family has that no one else seems to notice (or maybe they ignore it).
I have been constantly calling out bad behaviors in my family and have gotten villainized for it, only for them to come back and tell me behind everyone else's back how right I am.
I have also been constantly judged, argued with, and even cornered over certain behaviors I cannot control.
I (hopefully) move out in two months and by then I won’t be a scapegoat for them and they will tear each other to shreds

TW: RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT/HARASSMENT

I have recently read the news on the UK Rape case of the 14 year old boys and the two victims (if not three) being 15,14, and 13. They got SCOTT FREE, allowed to go into 'rehab' and community service after having pre-meditated the assault by filming, luring, and using weapons.
I have also seen countless videos of young boys ages 10 even going around sexually harassing women.

I personally now have been sexually harassed by young boys than adult men. My own personal experience at home was being asked my body count by a 13 year old trying to film a tik-tok while I was peacefully eating my lunch downtown (in a very nice suburban town center)

It's getting so tiring, I can't even look at the male sex with respect.
40% of young boys believe women with domestic violence stories are lying. More cases of young girls ages 14-15 suffering of sexual assault and abuse by male peers have gone up (myself being one).

Anyone a raging misandrist now?

I am on a two week vacation around the Mediterranean sea, and have visited the Vatican today. I came in as a tourist super excited as this city was spoken highly of in my youth and I learned a lot about its art and history.
Things did get messy tho when speaking about the Sagrada Familia (in spain) when I said how the artist had designed the church with nature in mind as to him it was 'gods greatest creation'.
My mother then asked me if I believed what he said, about gods greatest creation and I said; Well if god existed then yes I'd say so, but its all evolution. Just for my sister to chime in saying how evolution wouldn't exist if god hadn't created the monkey, I was about to reply to that but was quickly shut down (as always) by my family.
I was offended and asked my father why he always tells me to shut it when I'm about to say my opinion, he then asked me what about god I didn't like.
I was honest, I told him my youth, my struggle with the constant moving, my prayers as a 5 year old never being answered etc.
He latched on to that, about how I was five and had no experience in life or faith.

A bit of background: I have moved since I was born, forced to learn different languages and cultures, and worse of all was undiagnosed with Autism. I never made friends, I was always bullied and never accepted. My home country I had done Sunday school, worse thing? the kids there were all my school bullies and I was never welcomed, so when they spoke about loving your neighbor as yourself, I couldn't understand why they rejected me.
I did my communion alone, as I was to move and wouldn't have been able to do it with anyone (first point of loneliness in faith).
I then moved to the (current) country I live in. I got major depression as a child and attempted at the age of 10/5. I was put into therapy and put on natural medication as my mother believed it was a lack of vitamins in my body. Didn’t work either, I went through a psychosis in junior year highschool and baker-acted myself out of desperation to get help, only then did my parents get me a psychiatrist and I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and Autism (for context I am the first mentally evaluated person in my family).
I remembered my times in youth group hearing the kids talk about how when they feel down they pray to god and then they feel better, but I never felt anything, I felt utterly abandoned. When I got diagnosed I tried to get back into my faith and had a Bible bought for me. I read it but ended up in the conclusion that nothing made sense, if anything it made it worse for me!
I won’t get deep into theological problems as I believe we all know them.
So I slowly transitioned out into atheism and had been thriving since, I am doing great in school now and feel so much better (took me 12 years of my life btw).

So back to the Vatican. I felt heart broken by my father who said I lived no experience, when I tried to go deeper into the subject he told me to shut up, and that if I’m not Christian I shouldn’t have opinions on Christianity. I was a sobbing mess, my mother came and I explained what happened, my father then said I was disrespecting god. Which my mom got defensive and so then my sister. I was so tired and felt cornered, my back faced the Holy Spirit glass window while my families back faced the door, it kind of felt poetic in a way. I silently moved to sit by myself and then came back again my mother and sister and tried explaining to me how it’s not luck that I got a good family, that it’s gods plan. Of course I asked if god loved me why did he give these debilitating health problems, they said it’s so I could have this family (clearly it’s an US issue than a personal issue to them). No matter what I said they didn’t understand, my older sister said she thinks she’s more logical than me because she did science and even SHE believes, and I was just gobsmacked.

I just silently took it all in and realized that they truly love god more than me, they asked me not to force my atheism on them when they force their Christianity on me. Later at a gift shop I recognized a saint and my sister said that ‘how come you don’t believe yet know more than me’ I replied; well I did research before I left. Which she then scoffed and laughed at.

My parents have been trying to help me out mentally but I’ve realized they want me to be like them, more than they want me to thrive being me. They get me on a video boot camp for social skills for adults with autism, and even now have openly tried converting me again, saying this is just a phase.
