I've had misophonia since I was around 7 and spent much of my life just suffering through it. But over the past few months I've found great success in just forcing myself to believe that I'm not bothered by my triggers and that maybe I can enjoy them.

For the first time in my life I've been able to eat with friends and family without crying or have growing resentment towards them. Obviously, I'm not cured, when I'm not prepared sounds still bother me, but with a little bit of time to change my mindset and prepare before these types of interactions I can tolerate them with little to no discomfort for a decent amount of time. Usually enough time for the interaction to have ended.

I'd love to hear if there is any science/research about this or if anyone else has experienced something similar!

Is there a canon reason why castle town doesn't turn non-native darkeners into stone?

Apologies if this is an obviously answered question.

I am a casual fan and not knowledgeable about theories and lore outside of what you would discover on a normal route playthrough. So I was wondering why characters like Tenna or Queen are able to be completely unaffected by being in the wrong fountain when Lancer turned to stone after only a little while in the wrong fountain?

Have I missed something obvious?

I'm playing Ni no Kuni 1 and I'm about 10h into the game at the genie fight after the volcano.

The issue is I'm struggling. I fight every enemy I see but I still had to grid for about an hour just to beat the volcano boss. I am playing on the easiest difficulty too.

I love the story so far but I can't keep spending hours before every boss grinding and still enjoy the game.
