BUDDY DADDIES IS NOW MY WEEKLY DOSE OF SEROTONIN

Like, straight up, the whole time I was watching the new episode I just couldn't stop smiling from how wholesome it was. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

I really like how this show gets dark a lot of times as well. Amidst the slice of life wholesome family vibes, we also got some of Rei's backstory, a realistic depiction of Miri's mom's situation, her conversation with Kazuki, and their different views on parenting- and how, yeah, some people just aren't cut out to raise children, especially if they didn't even want the child in the first place, or worse, in Misaki's situation, she was taken advantage of and was left with a lot of trauma. She's not entirely blameless, but I do think she tried her best raising Miri for 4 years, despite her true mental state.

Then, we also saw that Kazuki's wife/partner got blown up during one of his missions, so I'm assuming both her and their unborn child died as well. I think he's experiencing a lot of guilt and trauma from that, and that's the reason why he acts the way he does now. I also think he might be sending money to her family because of said guilt, and they're not accepting it because they haven't forgiven him, which is understandable.

Although, the best part of this episode, imo, is Rei and Miri's relationship and just them bonding together and growing closer!! I love that Rei is warming up to her, and by the end he accepts her calling him Papa!! That's so sweet!!

Initially, I thought that Miri was going to be closer to Kazuki, based on the first episode, but episode 3 comes in and tugs at your heartstrings with Miri and Rei bonding and Miri giving Rei the childhood he never had. In the post-credits, I love that Rei feels safe enough with Miri and Kazuki that he can sleep peacefully in a bed.

I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS WHOLESOME INCARNATE I LOVE THEM AND I WILL LOSE IT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THESE TWO DADS AND THEIR GREMLIN!!!

Why Do Shrooms Make Us Sweat? - By Mycolancer

Hey! Mycolancer here. I recently started experimenting with higher (but still pretty low) weekly doses to manage my depression and wicked intrusive thoughts about off-ing myself. It was getting so bad that even microdosing based on Dr. Fadimann's protocol wasn't working too well anymore. I'm happy to say I am doing better now, but I noticed that, just like many of my pals, I'm sweating! Why? So I decided to do some research, as one does. This is what I've found. This is a short synopsis, nothing too indepth, but I hope you enjoy this article regardless!

Let's break down the potential biological reasons for sweating in each of these scenarios:

Increased Heart Rate:

When you consume magic mushrooms, the active compound psilocybin is converted to psilocin in the body.

Psilocin affects serotonin receptors, leading to changes in neurotransmitter activity.

Serotonin also plays a role in regulating heart rate and blood pressure.

An increase in heart rate can stimulate the body's thermoregulatory system, leading to increased sweating as a way to cool down the body.

Changes in Body Temperature Regulation:

Psilocin affects the serotonin receptors in the brain, influencing various physiological processes, including temperature regulation.

Altered perception of temperature may occur, leading the body to believe it needs to cool down, resulting in increased sweating.

Anxiety or Nervousness:

Psilocybin and psilocin can influence mood and emotions by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain.

In some individuals, the psychedelic experience may induce anxiety or nervousness.

Anxiety triggers the body's "fight or flight" response, which includes an increase in heart rate and sweating as part of preparing the body for potential challenges.

General Physiological Response:

Sweating is a natural physiological response to regulate body temperature.

Changes in perception, sensory experiences, or altered states of consciousness induced by magic mushrooms may impact the brain's control over bodily functions, including temperature regulation.

The body may respond with increased sweating as a general response to the altered state induced by the psychedelic substance.

In summary, the biological mechanisms involve the impact of psilocin on serotonin receptors, which can affect heart rate, temperature regulation, and emotional responses. These changes can lead to an increased need for cooling through sweating in various scenarios during a psychedelic experience. I hope you enjoyed this short article. Remember, to go low and slow if you're not experienced! Mush Love, Mycolancer
