Can fruit simple syrups be used for candy?

It’s been a long time since I tried to make candy, and while it may be a long time before Halloween, I want to start practicing the craft far in advance. I’ve been lucky enough to manage to get some fresh mangosteens (which I never in a million years thought would be possible), and I thought that I could make a simple syrup from them for use in candy making since they have a very short shelf life (to the point where they don’t even have an expiration date) and this could extend their usability. However, I’ve come to find that many simple syrup recipes I’ve managed to find that use fruit aren’t used for candy. Now I’m wondering if I misunderstood what simple syrup was used for. If anyone can answer this question, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Why is Orochi so overlooked?

I never hear anyone talk about her as a unit or as a character, and I don’t really get why… Not that I think she’s hated, it just seems like no one even remembers she exists… I’m replaying birthright for the first time in years and she’s certainly a good unit (though I have no access to revelations so I don’t know if she’d be good there). As for character, I think she’s good. She may not be especially deep, but she’s certainly not offensive (also I know it’s bound to make for the worst Asugi ever, but I S-ranked her with Saizo and HOLY CRAP THEY’RE CUTE WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE THEY ARE). Idk am I overlooking something? What do you guys think on the matter?

Guys I think I just thought of something as bad as the genocide run (and I don’t want to do it)

Ok so hear me out: you open the game, and you play pacifist all the way up to sparing Asriel and breaking the barrier, save the game, and then RESET. That might just be pure evil, because not only are you ripping away everyone’s freedom, but you had just FINALLY gotten Flowey/Asriel to remember his compassion, and after freeing everyone, he’s back at the beginning. I’m really curious how Flowey would react if you did this, but I just can’t bring myself to do it… if anyone knows if anything happens though, do let me know

Can I post here if I pick from anxiety?

Please note that I am not looking for a diagnosis, however I have never heard of Dermatillomania before finding this subreddit, so I am not sure if I can post here if I have never been officially diagnosed with it. I tend to pick when I am feeling a high amount of anxiety and thus do so for a sense of relief (likely for compression). Thus, one could maybe argue that my skin picking is explained through another disorder (as outlined in the wiki). If that’s the case, am I still accepted here? I’d like to think so, but I don’t want to feel like I’m stepping on anyone’s toes by speaking for a disorder I may not even have… if anyone could share their thoughts about this, I’d appreciate it. Thanks
