Something interesting I've noticed about conversion stories is many people seem to have both a rebellious streak and a deep-seated, insatiable desire to learn everything.

One of my shul's well-respected members (who runs the hebrew/judaism class that will start soon) talked about how, when he lived in my town, he would sneak out of the house just to go to shul. That's what I'm doing now, and it's funny (I'm not sneaking out per se, but I am also not telling anybody I'm going to shul). There's an aspect of free-spiritedness that I notice in many converts, and it's fascinating to hear each of their stories. And you know the funniest part? They sound like my story.

hi so i made a few changes to sylvie's backstory. again, yes, but it's mostly because there were just things i felt like could be smoothed out or sharpened that i couldn't sit with anymore.

pasting part of her jot-note backstory below the cut, bolding what was changed., and providing a short list of those changes before the big blurbs of stuff.

Changes:

Clarified Sylvie's promotion to Warden-Ambassador and her duties at Weisshaupt (focused on recruitment in the North on behalf of Montsimmard)

Re-wrote discharge from the Wardens — tied into her struggles with grief/inability to reconcile with losing loved ones/loyalty to friends vs. her cause. Disobeyed orders to tank rescue mission, which resulted in losing her unit just to save her friend. Results in setting mutated darkspawn loose, sustaining grievous wounds, and Deshar resenting her for being reckless with Warden lives.

Discharged for repeatedly disobeying direct orders from her superiors.

Eventually settles into Lavendel after a period of wandering, sustaining herself through odd work/labour jobs. Living in deep guilt for her past choices, extremely lost and purposeless. (This is also fun because I'm thinking she offers her home to Flynn as a makeshift infirmary, or somewhere to house the Blighted.)

Her recruitment into the Blight Hounds is now out of a sense of responsibility ot clean up a mess she made, a debt to the Wardens who died because of her, and the slim (possibly selfish) chance to return to the Wardens.

Post-Inquisition (34 y/o)

Returned to her fractured Order in Montsimmard, persistently wrote to Weisshaupt calling for accountability for Adamant and Clarel’s actions.

5 months later, Weisshaupt invites Orlais’ new Warden-Commander and a small delegation of Orlesian Wardens for a memorial ceremony. Sylvie is in attendance.

Following the ceremony, the Warden-Commander advocates for Montsimmard to recruit in the North given their delicate state — a small restitution in the wake of Weisshaupt’s absence in their time of need. After much discussion, the First Warden reluctantly agrees to temporarily instate an ambassador to help recover Montsimmard’s presence.

Sylvie’s loyalty and persistence is recognized and she is made Warden-Ambassador of Orlais.

Sylvie is transferred to Weisshaupt.

Late Warden Career – Warden-Ambassador (34-39 y/o)

Sylvie’s duties were primarily to travel, recruit, and train initiates, with the intention of transferring some to Orlais. However, she earned a reputation for being outspoken with higher-ups, using her status as Ambassador to advocate for a stronger Order.

Her stance was twofold: aggressive efforts to recruit, and better transparency between higher and lower Warden ranks.

Developed a passion for building up new recruits and watching them grow.

Warden numbers dwindled over the years – sparking her concern. Soon, Sylvie noticed her efforts became redundant — given that Weisshaupt's numbers stagnated, Montsimmard wouldn’t reap benefits either. Her concerns fell on deaf ears. An old wound of distrust reopened, questioning her faith in the Wardens’ leadership.

The Dread of Hunterhorn (39 y/o)

Towards the end of Sylvie’s service in the North, a relief unit sent on a rescue mission fails to report back to Weisshaupt in time, and are assumed to be in danger. This unit was headed by Warden Deshar, a Qunari Warden who became a close friend to Sylvie.

Sylvie insisted she be enlisted to the second relief unit — however, after some deliberation, the First Warden calls off the rescue; following protocol, which presumes death after an extended radio silence.

Unable to accept this, or to leave her friend to a dire fate, Sylvie convinces the relief unit to set out anyway. They do so, against the direct orders of the First Warden.

Ran into mutated darkspawn running rampant in the mountains’ Deep Roads tunnels.

In a perilous battle, Sylvie is gravely injured, Deshar is saved, but the rest of their unit, except for Warden Clémence, perishes.

The three Wardens are miraculously saved by the dwarves of Kal-Sharok. They reluctantly see to Sylvie’s wounds, saving her life. Her face is reconstructed and broken, missing teeth replaced with silver dentures and crowns.

Sylvie and Deshar are sent off as soon as she can walk. She barely makes it back to Weisshaupt, where she spent an extensive amount of time recovering from her wounds.

Dishonourable Discharge (39-42 y/o)

Sylvie is traumatized by the encounter and ridden with guilt for the deaths of her unit. To sour the wound, Deshar is deeply upset with Sylvie for sacrificing so many lives just to save his — curdling their friendship.

After she’s healed, the First Warden gives Sylvie a final chance by ordering her to return to Orlais.

However, Sylvie protests — calling for action against the strange blight in the mountains. When she’s met with dismissal, Sylvie crashes out and ends up dishonourably discharged on account of insubordination.

The Blight Hounds (42-45 y/o, Present)

Unwilling to return to Orlais, feeling the burn of her exile, Sylvie wandered the North before settling in Lavendel in the Hossberg Wetlands. There, she made ends meet doing odd jobs, mostly taking up work as a labourer to help repair the village from the constant mold/decay.

Two years later, an unexpected visitor arrives — Warden-Captain Deshar.

In their conversation, he mentions that mutated darkspawn are sighted again — and that since her departure, Warden Ramesh had survived a similar encounter and returned with more information. He then informs her that a secretive unit had been assembled to investigate this strange blight, and to contain it as best as possible.

Sylvie questions why he’s letting her in on this. Deshar insists she helps, not just because they need the numbers, but because she owes it to the Wardens lost due to her recklessness years ago.

Sylvie hesitates at first. When Deshar offers the possibility of returning to the Wardens, if she can prove herself worthy by seeing this mission through, she accepts. It’s her once chance to go home, and possibly her last chance to make things right.

i keep having recurrent ideas of drawing aaravi using her wife as a token pool floaty/surfboard/life vest/jet ski and i never have gotten around to drawing it but. eventually. one day.

its one of the great benefits to having giant marine predator wife of course. that aaravi and her can have beach days where miranda just chills and hangs out at the surface of the water and aaravi can sit her drinks on top of her and lay on top of her and cling to her side when miranda threatens to swim them out to deeper water. excellent.

Seasonal Cooling Tips: How to Stay Cool During the Hottest Months

As temperatures soar during the hottest months of the year, staying cool becomes a top priority. At Ram Coolers, we understand the need for effective and practical solutions to beat the heat. This blog post will provide you with a comprehensive guide on seasonal cooling tips to help you stay comfortable, whether you’re at home, at work, or outdoors. Let’s dive into the best ways to cool down during hot weather and discover some cooling solutions that will make your summer more enjoyable.

Understand Your Cooling Needs

Before diving into specific cooling strategies, it’s essential to understand your unique cooling needs. Are you looking to cool a small room or an entire house? Do you need portable cooling solutions for outdoor activities? By identifying your requirements, you can choose the most effective cooling tips for summer.

Optimize Your Home’s Ventilation

One of the best ways to keep your house cool in summer is to ensure proper ventilation. Open windows and doors during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning and late evening, to allow fresh air to circulate. Use exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom to expel hot air and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Invest in Quality Cooling Gadgets

Effective cooling often requires the right tools. Investing in quality cooling gadgets can make a significant difference in how you experience the summer heat. Consider purchasing air coolers, fans, and air conditioners from trusted brands like Ram Coolers. These products are designed to provide efficient cooling solutions for various needs.

Use Natural Cooling Methods

Learning how to stay cool naturally can help reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Here are some natural cooling tips:

Shade and Insulation: Use curtains, blinds, or shades to block out direct sunlight. Consider using reflective window films to reduce heat gain. Additionally, ensure your home is well-insulated to keep the cool air in and the hot air out.

Greenery: Planting trees and shrubs around your home can provide natural shade and cool the surrounding air. Indoor plants can also help improve air quality and reduce indoor temperatures.

Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is crucial during the hottest months. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body temperature regulated. Avoid excessive consumption of caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, as they can lead to dehydration. Incorporate hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables into your diet.

Dress Appropriately

Choosing the right clothing can significantly impact your comfort level in hot weather. Opt for lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing made from natural fabrics like cotton and linen. These materials allow your skin to breathe and help wick away sweat, keeping you cooler.

Utilize Cooling Accessories

Summer cooling accessories can be lifesavers when the temperature rises. Items like cooling towels, portable fans, and cooling vests can provide instant relief from the heat. These accessories are particularly useful for outdoor activities and can help you stay cool on the go.

Schedule Outdoor Activities Wisely

Plan your outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day to avoid the peak heat. Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to engage in physical activities or spend time outside. If you need to be outdoors during the hottest part of the day, take frequent breaks in the shade and stay hydrated.

Create a Cool Sleep Environment

A good night’s sleep is essential for overall well-being, but high temperatures can make it challenging to rest comfortably. Here are some tips to stay cool while sleeping:

Cooling Bedding: Invest in breathable and moisture-wicking bedding materials like cotton or bamboo. Avoid using heavy blankets and opt for lightweight sheets instead.

Fan Placement: Use fans strategically to create a cross-breeze in your bedroom. Placing a bowl of ice in front of the fan can provide an extra cooling effect.

Cool Down Before Bed: Take a lukewarm shower before bed to lower your body temperature. You can also place a damp washcloth on your forehead or use a cooling pillow.

Maintain Your Cooling Equipment

Regular maintenance of your cooling equipment ensures it operates efficiently. Clean or replace filters in air coolers and air conditioners as recommended by the manufacturer. Ensure that your fans are dust-free and functioning correctly. Well-maintained equipment provides better cooling and lasts longer.

Explore DIY Cooling Hacks

If you’re looking for creative and cost-effective ways to stay cool, try these DIY cooling hacks:

Ice Packs and Cold Compresses: Use ice packs or cold compresses on pulse points like wrists, neck, and temples to quickly cool down.

Frozen Water Bottles: Place frozen water bottles in front of fans to create a makeshift air conditioner.

Homemade Popsicles: Make refreshing popsicles using fruit juice or flavored water to enjoy a cool treat.

Use Energy-Efficient Cooling Solutions

Energy-efficient cooling solutions not only help you stay cool but also reduce your environmental impact. Look for products with high energy efficiency ratings and consider using programmable thermostats to optimize cooling while saving energy. Ceiling fans can also enhance air circulation, reducing the need for constant air conditioning.

Adapt to Extreme Heat

Extreme heat requires special measures to ensure your safety and comfort. Here are some tips for staying cool in extreme heat:

Heatwave Preparedness: Stay informed about heatwave alerts and take necessary precautions. Avoid strenuous activities during heatwaves and seek shelter in air-conditioned places.

Cooling Centers: In case of power outages or inadequate home cooling, identify nearby cooling centers or public places like malls and libraries where you can stay cool.

Educate and Involve Your Family

Teach your family members about the importance of staying cool and hydrated during hot weather. Involve them in implementing cooling strategies and make it a collective effort to maintain a comfortable living environment. Encourage children to take breaks from outdoor play and stay hydrated.

Consult Experts for Tailored Solutions

If you have specific cooling needs or face challenges in managing the summer heat, consult experts for tailored solutions. Ram Coolers offers professional advice and product recommendations to help you find the best cooling solutions for your home or office.

Embrace Technological Advancements

Technological advancements in cooling solutions offer innovative ways to beat the heat. Smart thermostats, automated shading systems, and advanced air coolers provide enhanced comfort and convenience. Stay updated with the latest products and technologies to make the most of modern cooling solutions.

Consider Long-Term Improvements

For lasting comfort, consider long-term improvements to your home’s design and infrastructure. Installing energy-efficient windows, upgrading insulation, and incorporating passive cooling techniques can significantly reduce indoor temperatures. These improvements not only enhance comfort but also increase the value of your property.
