who are your favorite vendors? I haven't been able to make it the last couple of years but I am so looking forward to it.

if you start lighting up dancer of the boreal valleys room with pyromancy everything will slowly start to catch fire 🔥🔥🔥

does this mechanic work in other places?

what is the point of releasing/performing music?

I am 33 now and I have been in a few bands, I record alot at home but I haven't really performed much or released anything in years.

I tell myself that I owe it to my community and it's important to share art but I have been really hesitant to release solo music, and performing alone is nerve-racking.

I admit I am depressed and feeling alot of other pressure in life but I don't want to lose this part of myself.

I think I need a new perspective, seeking advice / inspiration / encouragement.

I have had this terrible habit of writing songs almost to completion, and I can sing the vocal melody in gibberish, but I cannot find the words. I have so many songs that are stuck at this point and I just cannot get past it. I think maybe I have too high of standards for what the lyrical content is, like it needs to be some poetic masterpiece or something. It's like I cannot connect to the lyrical side of myself anymore :(

does anyone have a similiar problem or advice/solutions?

I (33m) haven’t spoken with my dad in 10 years until yesterday, and it has brought up a lot of terrible feelings.

for context: he assaulted my 10yo half-sister when i was 7, then like 10 years ago he confessed to inappropriately touching his girlfriends daughter who was 13 at the time (they didn’t press charges) and just told me on the phone that this year he would be moving in with them.
he made a point to mention too that he has been celibate for years and that he has returned to being a jehovahs witness.

I have suspicions that he has been grooming her with her mother enabling it, and I am wondering if I should even get involved? it tears me up that she is also a spitting image of my sister.. but of course now she is 23 and a legal adult. this girls dad completely disappeared on them too so I can empathize that she never had a solid father figure.

it is also super unsettling that he is extremely smart and charismatic and I have known him to be a master manipulator, he completely takes over conversations, paints his own narratives, and will never entertain any criticism.

I know people change but I can’t help but feel suspicious of his intentions..

I feel like I’m the only person who can see it, and would feel guilt if I don’t do anything but should I just walk away?

edit: please note that to my knowledge, no actual child is in danger, as his girlfriends daughter is now 23, so it’s not like I can go to the police or child services at this point.
