Invader Zim + ZaDr Fan Merch Review

I bought some zadr and iz directly from @banana-zim and the gist of it is that it was very good 5/5 stars would recommend

But here are the details:

Nana was very very accommodating for my horrible financial situation and was able to indefinitely hold items for me and make arrangements with shipping to make sure I had a stable income while making the purchase, and also was very patient and kind throughout the whole process even when things were not stable on my end. I was able to plan this for months! Very trustworthy I'd say

These are the items I bought

[ID 1: A zim pillow in a plastic wrapper, and a notebook with stickers and stickiness wrapped in bubble wrap. /End ID 1]

The packaging had kept everything clean, dry and undamaged.

There was a Zim on both sides of the pillow, the colours were vibrant (though they look a little more saturated on my phone camera, no idea why) and the fabric was very soft. It has a zipper that is almost not visible, and you can open it. Inside is fluff, which you could theoretically remove to wash the pillow case though it didn't come with wash instructions. I will let Nana comment on that if there are questions!

[ID 2, 3: The zim pillow from other angles showing the backside and zipper, unzipped. /End ID 2, 3]

The post-its are cute and easy to write on, they have enough white space to get a few sentences down depending on how small you write. Here is a little thank you note ♡

[ID 4: The notebook laid out on the bubble wrap with the post-it notes and stickers on top. /End ID 4]

[ID 5: A close-up picture of the post-it notes. On the first page there is a heart drawn with a ballpoint pen and the words "Thank you Bananazim!" /End ID 5]

I got the zadr stickers for free. They have a paper-like texture and the colours seem slightly more muted than the pillow but they still look colourful in real life. I stuck one of them to the inside of my notebook and they seem to stick nicely!

[ID 6: Three stickers. The first is the swollen eyeball symbol on top of the irken symbol. The second is a heart with a space background. Inside of the heart Zim and Dib are kissing. The third is square, with Dib laying on a pillow with a blanket over his waist and an open book under his hand. Zim clings to his back. /End ID 6]

The notebook looks like this! It has saturated colours on the front and back, and a protective plastic page on either side. The front and back pages are shinier than the inside, and all pages on the inside are lined. Size A5.

[ID 7, 8: The front page of the notebook, a drawing of the black silhouettes of Zim and Dib in front of the control brains and swollen eyeball screens. The screens and Dib's eyes are coloured turquoise while Zim's eye and the control brains are coloured pink. Zim appears to sit in Dib's lap, and Dib's fingers have turquoise threads wrapped around them that go into Zim's back where his PAK is supposed to be. There is pink text reading "MY LittLE ALiEN". The lines are white. The pictures as with and without the slightly opaque plastic cover page. /End ID 7, 8]

[ID 9: A page of the notebook. It is lined from top to bottom. /End ID 9]

[ID 10: The backside of the notebook. It's black with the turquoise swollen eyeball symbol over the irken symbol. /End ID 10]

Overall I really enjoyed this, and I've already started using the notebook to keep track of my creative projects and everything I need to mend or fix in my room :)

In the reblogs I will link the Etsy shop and kofi because I don't know if tumblr hides posts with links or if that was an old bug?

Content warning: diapers

Felt like the last one was maybe a bit much

CVS health stretch fit briefs review

These are by far my favorite diaper! I like them a lot because they are actually adult sized and even though I’m still a minor and a small one at that, they fit way better then Goodnites or the other pull ups I’ve tried. Mostly because they are more like an actual diaper and not a pull up.

I have a couple things before I start the actual review one I can only get diapers form In stores. I can’t order anything so this is so far the best thing I’ve found. Second this is my second pack of these. So I’ve used quite a few of them so hopefully that makes this review a bit better then the last one I made.

They aren’t cute at all just plain white with a wetness indicator. But you can still totally draw on them! I can heavily recommend using brush tip markers if you have them, but any marker will work. I find this a super fun way to make diapers like this more adorable! Id give them about a 6 out of 10 sense they still have a wetness indicator and the surface is easy enough to draw on.

They aren’t the most comfortable dip ever but they are still really pretty soft overall they get like a 8 or 9 out of 10. The outside is a little bit rough but the padding is super soft it’s kinda thin but to be far it’s still a cvs diaper. I have no problem wearing them for awhile since they are so soft and comfy.

They fit well ish however the tabs cross like all the way over each other on me. It’s not a to big of a deal it just means that when your putting it on you have to l fold one tape on the first side up that way the first side doesn’t move after you put the second one on. Overall like 7 out of 10 on fit they fit tight and good just the tabs have to cross

Overall I would give them about a 8 out of 10 they are the best diapers I’ve tried so far, since I can only get diapers in stores, but I really hope I can try some other diapers soon. Anyway if your not gonna stay for the bit where a talk about using them then thanks for reading, hope it helped if you were thinking about getting them, and I hope you have an awesome day!

Content warning: talk of using diapers

In this part which will be the last part I’ll be talking about my experience with using these diapers. If that is a trigger for you, or you just don’t wanna hear about it, then don’t keep reading please.

These are absolutely the most absorbent dips I’ve tried! I like them a ton because of this they are cheap and get the job done I haven’t ever had them leak on the first use they tend to hold at most two ish wettings much more then that and they leak for me overall I’m gonna give them a 9 out of 10 cause they are the best I’ve ever tried.

Thanks for reading, hope this helped if you were thinking about getting these I personally really like them, and I hope you have a awesome day!

(P.s I’m sorry if there are any typos or weird sentences this was super long and hard to edit and fix.)

[onceandfuturelesbian]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

i definitely don’t mind, i LOVE getting asks so everyone please feel free to message me or send asks

here it goes

my top 10 favourite characters EVER (in no particular order)

1. nick miller (new girl)

- he’s so chaotic and stupid and i relate to him so much, definitely one of my favourite comfort characters

2. andy dwyer (parks and recreation)

- also chaotic and stupid, i just think he’s funny and adorable, just generally wholesome, another favourite comfort character

3. loki laufeyson (marvel cinematic universe)

- he’s on that absolute king shit!!! chaotic, funny, badass, has magic and can be scary (which is a slay). the fact that he’s queer is a major plus too

4. scott lang (marvel cinematic universe)

- just a goofy lil guy with so much love in his heart. another amazing and wholesome comfort character

5. merlin + arthur pendragon (bbc merlin)

- 2 for 1 cause they’re best together. i read merthur fics everyday and while i know fics aren’t accurate to their actual character/canon, they have one of the best dynamics ive ever seen

6. adelina amouteru (the young elites trilogy by marie lu)

- been ages since i read this but adelina is such a cool character. if i had powers, id want to have hers (or flying, that’d be great). actually went as adelina for halloween once. 10000/10 recommend the young elites

7. lena luthor / morgana pendragon (supergirl / bbc merlin)

- another 2 for 1. i watched merlin because i saw katie mcgrath in supergirl and now i read merthur everyday. both lena and morgana’s journeys are beautiful imo. lena from light to dark back to light. morgana’s from light to dark when it was so preventable. perfect characters for a perfect actress

8. nick nelson (heartstopper tv)

- i related to his s1 storyline quite a bit but overall he’s just such a loving character. sometimes when i see him on screen, i think he’s gonna explode with how much he loves charlie, his mom, nellie. reblog if u also need a nick nelson hug LOL

9. mirabella (three dark crowns series by kendare blake)

- one of my favourite book series and my favourite mc!! like seriously guys look up this series, the original plot is so cool and there’s some plot twists that made my jaw drop - my sister rating goes mirabella, katharine, arsinoe btw hehe

10. dwight schrute (the office)

- he carried the show tbh. especially after michael left. i never rly cared much for jim and pam (ofc i wanted them to get together but i don’t love them). dwight was consistently funny and chaotic, and most of the best plots included/rided on him

honourable mentions:

- lily tucker-pritchett (modern family)

- jaskier (the witcher)

- geralt of rivia (the witcher)

- edna mode (the incredibles)

- craig pelton (community)

- finnick odair (the hunger games)

- lucifer morningstar (lucifer)

honourable duo/trio mentions:

- wong + madisynn (she-hulk)

- steven grant + marc spector (moon knight)

- cam tucker + phil dunphy + gloria pritchett (modern family)

[losergendered]

hi hi :) wanted to give you a quick update that I finally watched American Psycho tonite!!

I actually liked and adore this movie thoroughly! I will say though, even though it was said to be a comedy/horror movie, I mostly liked the horror but didn't quite laugh at the comedy sadly :/. It was still a great watch tho, ngl! /pos /gen My main interest is that I love how ambiguous it is on whether or not Patrick's crimes he committed were real or not--and I love those kinds of movies/episodes where it makes you think and theorize on the story itself and the ending.

Also, uh, oof. Next to Billy Loomis, I LITERALLY wanna get down on one knee and propose Bateman to be my malewife--he's fricking hot no joke abt that. And I also love how he narrates in the movie about his thoughts and feelings and whatnot including his knowledge on music and albums--plus as a fanfic writer, it kinda helps me with his character development and scripting.

Overall, I enjoyed this lil' thriller movie you recommended me, mikey! I'd give it a fair 8/10--knowing you at most, you'd probably give it a 100/10 lol.

AW NICE DUDE im glad u liked it!!! i also love how like… nebulous and liminal the reality of the movie is!!! its funny that you mostly like it for the horror, cause i mostly like it for the weird absurdist comedy ALTHOUGH. the horror also fucks obvs. hey paul is iconic for a reason.

honestly id probably rate it 8.5-9/10 because i gotta keep space at the top for fight club and zero day and rushmore. but i do love it so crazy much

[shinelikethunder]

Hellooo i was intrigued by your "fucked up supernatural shit" posts so i binged the fucked up episodes you suggested and now I'm a supernatural fan, sadly. I still refuse to watch all of it so i would very much appreciate if you could recommend some more fucked up episodes, especially focused on sam-dean-john dynamics. Also I like your taste in fucked up stuff so if you have any other fandoms to recommend I'd also appreciate that

idk if you caught the reblog with the Sicko Cut Bonus Episodes but every suggestion in there is also a doozy; for a broader range of "sick shit and fucked-up family dynamics" episodes i'd expand it to (previously recced eps in parentheses):

season one: 1, (6), 9/10/11, 14/15/16, (18), and (20/21/22)

season two: (1)/2/3/4/5, (8), 10, 11, (14), and 20/21/22

season three: this is where my ability to pick favorites starts breaking down; s3 is kinda my fave of all the seasons, but for the overall vibe rather than particular standouts. it's only 16 episodes long, so watching it in full is more doable. but the fucky family shit is strongest in episodes 1, 2, 8, (10), 11, and 14/15/16.

season four: i regret to admit that just about every episode in this season is a straight fucking banger. like, the only two i'd be tempted to skip aren't even bad. but extra-special sicko shoutouts to episodes 1, (3), 9/10/11, 14, 16, 19, and 20.

on to the slimmer pickings...

season five: the first five are a fun time and the last two or three SLAP, but man, the handful of salvageable eps in the middle are buried in a minefield of ones i WANT to slap.

season six: look, i may not respect s6 or think it's good, but by GOD do i enjoy it. the WHOLE THING is the new showrunner's grody id-fic, but episodes 5 and 10 are on a special level of sick.

season seven: .....no.

ok, ok, MAYBE 1, 2, 11, 15, and 17. but this is where SPN starts getting truly wretched.

after that... 8x03 i guess, 9x07, 9x19, 10x03, 10x09, 11x04...

s11 i actually found pretty enjoyable, and everything from 11x09 through 11x14 starts serving GREAT grody id-fic vibes again. but bail out after 11x19 at latest, because the end of the season is. bad.

s12-15 have a couple of arc plots with sicko potential i guess? but in my head most of the episodes are an undifferentiated blob of Does Not Fuck.

there are also a handful of early-seasons eps that are softer and sadder that i love a lot: 1x03, 1x12, 2x13, 2x16... plus for "mixed bag but the fun parts are a total blast," 2x17, 3x06, and 3x12.

Album Review: Wintermoon - The Mightiest Stand Above (1995)

Wintermoon, from Finland, is a personal favorite band of mine. I found them through their 1995 rehearsal/demo and discovered this release shortly after. They have a lovely take on the genre, and honestly don't get their praises sung enough, likely due to the other finnish bands that were popping off with full-lengths while these guys only ever released demos. Whatever the reason, I've never heard anyone talk about this band online or IRL so id consider them to be a bit of a hidden gem. How great is this underrated demo? Let's discuss.

The tape kicks off with a nice synth intro. I really like the intro actually, because it sets the tone for the demo, is pleasant to listen to, and doesn't take up a shit ton of time (it's only like a minute long). Overall, good start.

Then kicks in the first real song, and if it isn't fucking great idk what it is. It goes hard from the first riff. Wintermoon have a dope combination of black metal and dungeon synth that I really enjoy, so most of the riffing on this is layered with pleasant melodic synths that contrast well with the raw and distorted guitar and drums, somewhat in the realm of late-90s Grausamkeit (especially when it picks up the pace) but a bit cleaner recording-wise. I like this track a lot, it has a hazy, somewhat ethereal sound to it while still having the cold black metal vibe. It's also pretty hook-y, but in a kvlt way, with some catchy synth melodies weaving their way through the distorted mix. This is a very well-composed song, with multiple distinct movements that vary quite a bit but don't sound disjointed.

The 2nd real song, and 3rd overall track, is a little more guitar-heavy, with some almost shoegaze-y staticky riffing taking the forefront and the synths more in the background providing higher pitched melodies. This track also reminds me of Grausamkeit but also of Burzum, what with its slow/medium pace for the main part of the song. the first track is definitely the "flagship" here but this one is also fantastic, and has some beautiful playing, especially from the drummer and keyboardist, as well as during the guitar solo.

The tape ends with another more dungeon synth-y track. This one is a bit longer than the first, but isn't quite as good in my mind. Still a competent piece!

Overall, if you like BSoD, this is a fantastic release. It's very much in that same realm of pseudo-symphonic, dungeon synth tinged black metal as found in most Grausamkeit releases from 1997-2000, but with a slower and more ethereal take. It's much more relaxed as well, I wouldn't call this an aggressive or even particularly high energy release at all, it's very beautiful to listen to, and despite its pretty raw sound (it is a mid-90s black metal demo after all) it's pretty relaxing and accessible. I would highly recommend this to those who are already fans of black metal, but I don't think it would be a great introduction to the genre due to its pretty unconventional sound.

8/10

Standout track: Night so Cryptic is All Mine

If someone were interested in wanting to get into the touhou series, what would you recommend they start with? :0

surprisingly this is a very difficult question to answer, since touhou is such an expansive franchise and a lot of people enjoy it for very different reasons. its also a series thats counterintuitive to follow if youre not there while each part of it is releasing, since theres a lot of plot overlap between the game series and the spinoffs on a chapter-by-chapter basis (though its not difficult to make sense of if you know that's the case in advance). there is really no easy way to get into touhou, but the flip side of this is that there isnt an incorrect way to get into it either! it just depends what you want out of it.

if youre looking to experience the story without too much hassle, start with the games in numerical order, then tackle the spinoff books and the concept records later if you feel like it. you can choose to start at the first game, or you can skip right to 6 since its the first windows title and the oldest game that's actively relevant to the plot overall (more detail on why thats the case here). dont forget to read omake.txt before beginning each game, since they contain the story prologues and character backstories that contextualize the plot before the games begin!

if youre looking for a polished gameplay experience and dont really care about following the story, then i would recommend 7, 8, or 10 as good standard shmup experiences; or 12.5, 12.8, or 18 if you want to see the franchise at its most esoteric in game design. if youre an experienced shmup player and want something that will kick your teeth in, 12, 14.3, or 15 will give you that.

if you dont care as much about the plot or the gameplay, but want to see the characters explored, the official manga are fine introductions. theyre not perfect, since they rely on you knowing the plot and cast of the games releasing concurrently with them somewhat, but you'll probably manage fine. out of these, the manga with the best balance of being self-contained while featuring a compelling plot would be touhou suzunaan ~ forbidden scrollery.

the concept albums are probably the most beginner-friendly example in this list, and theyre my favourite part of the franchise! since theyre just music cds without any skill at shmups required to get into them, plus they follow a self-contained plot from the rest of the series, you can get into them without any prior knowledge and get a complete experience!

lastly, a lot of people just start getting into touhou by browsing fanmade works, and thats valid too! some people often read a bunch of fan doujins or listen to arrange albums, notice a character in them, and go "she looks cool! which one is she from?" and branch into the official content from there. this is the option id recommend least out of these, because the tone and quality of fanworks can vary drastically and give you false impressions of the official content. however, its still perfectly okay to start this way, caveats aside!

what im trying to get at is that none of these are ideal solutions, but theyre all possible ways to start out. like i said, theres no easy way to get into touhou, but theres no wrong way either.

the only official content id advise against starting with would be any spinoff books other than the manga. despite most of these containing a lot of the best writing in the series, the more story-focused ones are often heavily tied to the plots of the games, so their highs hit highest if you have some level of experience with the series prior to reading them.

let me know if you have more questions on starting out, and i can answer whatever!

[sweetlullabyebye]

Decided to make a list of all the k-dramas I've seen (I'll probably forget a few of them) with a note, because why not?

I'M NOT A ROBOT: 4/10. First drama I ever watched, which is why it gets a higher note than 2/10. Never managed to finish it.

PINOCCHIO: 7/10, really liked it on the first watch, impossible to get through afterwards. Main lead was charming until I realised he wasn't that charming.

W: 6/10. I loved the idea and plot and drawings, but I got very lost towards the end. The main couple had potential but then what.

GOBLIN: 5/10. Never was able to finish it. Age gap made me uncomfy. The only reason I pushed through for a while was the side couple.

EXTRAORDINARY YOU: 9/10. Favorite drama, except for the last episode, and the fact that every male character except for Haru and Donghwa was pretty much despicable. I do recommend watching to see the mess the extras are up to (most scenes have the extras being so damn amazing). The main couple was cute.

MY ID IS GANGNAM BEAUTY: 9,5/10, has a very special place in my heart. It had important subjects and finally a female lead that feels more or less realistic. Also nasty misoginistic guys get knocked out or shamed so that's a plus.

LAWLESS LAWYERS: 10/10. Can do no wrong in my mind. It's fun, it has action, it has drama, it's nice -I probably idealize it thanks to it being the first drama I ever finished-.

MY NAME: 10/10. Yes. Exactly. Everything about it is a work of art. Strong subjects but it's handled well, in my opinion, and having a female lead in such an action-filled serie was so fucking good.

STRONG WOMAN DO BONG SOON: 8/10, very fun to watch (even with the dark parts). The main couple is cute, and even if some of the humor makes me go "eh?", most of it is nice.

WEIGHTLIFTING FAIRY: 8/10, way funnier and better than I expected, and I love the friendships in it, very light hearted overall.

OH MY VENUS: 0/10. Trash.

THE LEGEND OF THE BLUE SEA: 6/10, it almost got me screaming out of frustration. It's fun but also CAN SHE PLEASE USE HER BRAINCELLS FOR ONCE?

MY LOVE FROM THE STARS: 8/10, I keep going back to it. Comfort show so I am VERY biased. I do like to deny the last episode existed and live in a comfortable state of denial.

DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN: 6/10. Got stuck halfway, ended up watching the chinese counterpart instead.

LOVERS OF THE RED SKY: 9/10. It looked stunning, the storyline was addicting, I would sell my soul for the main lead.

HEALER: 8/10, better than I expected.

ZOMBIE DETECTIVE: 9,5/10, mindless fun, easy to watch.

RUGAL: 7/10, not bad.

LOVE WITH FLAWS: 3/10. Only watched for some representation. The main couple gave me headaches, I hated everyone except for a total of three characters. Not worth it.

WHEN THE CAMELLIA BLOOMS: 8/10, I don't really get the mystery part but the romance was cute and I really liked the main dude.

ITAEWON CLASS: 8/10, finally some representation! Plot was kind of messy but the women in it were badass and I liked the overall show.

WHERE STARS LAND: 5/10. Meh.

I REMEMBER YOU: 4/10, only watched for the brothers.

LET'S FIGHT GHOST: 8/10, fun to watch, light hearted, overall nice. The main couple was great to see interract and all.

ARE YOU HUMAN: 2/10, the relationship felt creepy.

HOTEL DEL LUNA: 9/10, this drama took my heart and smashed it like a piñata.

ANGEL'S LAST MISSION: LOVE: 6/10, I don't remember much from it, so it was quite forgettable.

THIRTY BUT SEVENTEEN: 8/10. Actually pretty good? The survivor's guilt in it was interesting to see, and I love found families. Some things did make me a bit uncomfortable (since you know... she still feels like she's seventeen).

WHERE YOUR EYES LINGER: 4/10. Not even fun to watch, honestly. Mention of the classic "who's the bottom" and shit like that made me want to disappear from existence.

K2: 7/10. Lots of Snow White references.

COLOR RUSH: 5/10. They had a light hearted (more or less) start and then... it went super angsty all of a sudden? Wtf?

DEVILISH CHARM: 5/10. Forgettable. Lol.

WATCHER: 9/10, interesting characters and plot, kept me captivated the whole time.

UNCONTROLLABLY FOND: 0/10. No.

GRACEFUL FAMILY: 4/10. Yes... but no.

JUST BETWEEN LOVERS: 9,5/10, very sweet, very comfortable in a way? It deals with trauma and family and relationships in such a way, it's pretty much an unforgettable drama for me. Loved it, loved the couple, loved the characters.

SELL YOUR HAUNTED HOUSE: 4/10. I forgot to care after the second episode.

TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW: 8/10, captivating, very much one of the mystery cops series where you know what it's going to be before you watch it, but still keeps you interested.

LIVE ON: 9/10, better than expected, sweet relationship.

THE GIRL WHO SAW SMELLS: 7/10. Never finished it. Plot made me confused and for what.

MY FELLOW CITIZENS: 4/10. Eh.

MEMORIST: 8/10. Once I got into it, it was very fun to watch.

KILL IT: 10/10, all time favorite, I really liked the vibe, the themes, the characters, the twists.

A PIECE OF YOUR MIND: 5/10. Really liked it at first (the main lead is freaking awesome) but then got more and more uncomfortable as it went.

THE TALE OF NODKU: 6/10. I remember it more fondly than it actually was.

HOMETOWN CHA-CHA: 5/10. I don't even know whether I liked it or not.

BEAUTY INSIDE: 7/10, I guess the message is good? I didn't get so attached to the romance, but it was okay to watch. And it introduced me to Lee Da Hee, so that's pretty nice.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO: 8/10, likeable characters!

VINCENZO: 7/10, some of the moments were very fun to watch and some... meh. Way more brutal than I expected.

100 DAYS MY PRINCE: 4/10. Nearly unwatchable. The showrunners saw "hate at first sight" and ran with it.

SEARCH WWW: 7/10, main couple was so boring I skipped most of their scenes. Only watch for women supporting women and secondary couple.

CHOCOLATE: 3/10. Bo-ring.

EXTRACURRICULAR: 5/10, it felt like a fever dream.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL: 5/10. Not as fun as I was told it'd be. Cliché defying? Yeah right.

STRANGERS FROM HELL: 8/10. I like to forget it exists. I'm still scared of this drama after more than two years.

(There are more k-dramas but

1. I'm tired

2. I don't remember all of them)

How Can You Live Well with Diabetes?

Living with diabetes requires daily management, but with the right approach, it’s entirely possible to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. Here’s a guide to help you navigate life with diabetes.

1. Understand Your Condition Diabetes is a chronic condition where your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it does produce. Knowing the type of diabetes you have—Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes—will guide your treatment plan and lifestyle choices.

2. Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. It helps you understand how different foods, activities, and medications affect your blood glucose levels. Aim to keep your levels within your target range as recommended by your healthcare provider.

3. Adopt a Healthy Diet Eating a balanced diet is key. Focus on whole foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Carbohydrate counting or the plate method can help manage blood sugar levels. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks that can cause spikes in blood sugar.

4. Stay Active Exercise is essential for managing diabetes. Regular physical activity helps lower blood sugar levels, improves insulin sensitivity, and promotes overall well-being. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, such as walking, swimming, or cycling.

5. Take Medications as Prescribed If you’re prescribed insulin or other medications, take them as directed. They play a crucial role in managing your blood sugar levels. Keep track of your doses and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan as needed.

6. Manage Stress Stress can impact your blood sugar levels. Incorporate stress management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga into your daily routine. Getting adequate sleep is also essential for managing stress and maintaining overall health.

7. Regular Check-ups Routine medical appointments are vital for monitoring your condition. Regular check-ups with your healthcare team will help track your progress, manage complications, and adjust your treatment plan as necessary.

8. Educate Yourself Knowledge is power when it comes to diabetes. Stay informed about your condition, treatment options, and new research. Join support groups or connect with others living with diabetes to share experiences and tips.

9. Build a Support System Living with diabetes is easier when you have a strong support system. Lean on family, friends, or a diabetes support group for encouragement and practical advice.

10. Be Prepared for Emergencies Always carry a form of fast-acting sugar, such as glucose tablets, in case of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Wear a medical ID bracelet that indicates you have diabetes, which can be crucial in an emergency.

By embracing these lifestyle changes and staying proactive about your health, you can live well with diabetes and minimize the impact it has on your life. Remember, diabetes management is a journey—one that you don’t have to walk alone.

The story of the game revolves around the protagonist, Jack, who is on a quest to save his little sister from being forcibly used as a human subject in an experiment. So, if you’ve recently finished the BioShock series and are looking for a similar experience, then don’t worry. You’ve come to the right place. Today, we’ll be counting down the 10 best games like BioShock in 2022. 10. We Happy Few [caption id="attachment_217" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Xbox)[/caption] IGN: 7.3/10 Release Date: July 26th, 2016 Available on: Xbox One, Steam, PS4, Mac Where to Buy: Xbox, Steam, PlayStation Store We Happy Few is a dystopian survival game set in a fictional, retro-futuristic 1960s England. We Happy Few is set in a dystopian world. The game was released in 2018, and it is an action-adventure game. This game features a first-person perspective, and it is full of action, RPG elements, and a complex storyline. Players control one of three characters throughout the game's three acts, each with their unique talents and abilities and individual motivations for fleeing Wellington Wells. If you’ve played BioShock, then you’ll find this as one of the best games like BioShock. 9. Singularity [caption id="attachment_219" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Steam)[/caption] IGN: 6.8/10 Release Date: June 25th, 2010 Available on: Xbox 360, Steam, PS3 Where to Buy: Xbox, Steam, Amazon You might not have heard about this game, as it is a little older and underrated. Singularity is a first-person shooter video game published by Activision. Even though the game received favorable reviews from fans and critics alike, its sales were quite low. This game also takes place in a dystopian setting where you can combat mutated enemies. In addition to the overall setting, the fighting mechanics are also similar to Bioshock. You should pick up this underrated gem on Steam because it is one of the best games like BioShock in 2022. 8. Metro Exodus [caption id="attachment_221" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Playsation.com)[/caption] IGN: 8.5/10 Release Date: June 25th, 2010 Available on: Xbox One, Steam, PS4, PS5 Where to Buy: Xbox, Steam, PlayStation Store Metro Exodus is a first-person shooter game that was released in 2018. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic environment where the player has to explore the vast land, scavenge for supplies and fight against mutants. This is one of the best modern games like BioShock as it features beautiful graphics and a similar feel. Unlike many modern FPS games, Metro Exodus forces to play at a slower pace. It prioritizes stealth, and this is what makes it stand out from the rest. However, the game’s atmosphere is simply breathtaking and the developers have worked quite hard to create this creepy and cold world. 7. Dead Space Trilogy [caption id="attachment_223" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Amazon.co.uk)[/caption] IGN: N/A Release Date: January 27th, 2023 Available on: Xbox 360, Steam, PS3 Where to Buy: Unreleased The Dead Space Trilogy is the next entry on our list of best games like BioShock. Dead Space is a first-person shooter game that was released in 2008, and we consider it to be one of the best first-person shooter games ever made. The game was developed by EA Redwood Shores. It has two sequels, Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3. All the Dead Space games are near perfect. However, the first and third games are especially noteworthy. You’ll feel right at home when you start playing the Dead Space trilogy.

That home, however, is infested with horrific and disgusting alien abnormalities. 6. Prey [caption id="attachment_224" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Steam)[/caption] IGN: 8/10 Release Date: May 5th, 2017 Available on: Xbox One, Steam, PS4 Where to Buy: Xbox, Steam, PlayStation Store Prey is another first-person shooter making its way on our list of games like BioShock. This game is very well-known for its intricate game design. However, the game features a similar puzzle-solving to BioShock. The game is set in an alternate reality where an accelerated Space Race resulted in humanity reaching orbital stations far sooner. Morgan Yu explores the space station Talos I as part of a scientific team investigating the Typhon. The game came out of nowhere and has become a classic ever since its release. 5. Mass Effect Series Legendary Edition [caption id="attachment_225" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Electronic Arts)[/caption] IGN: 8/10 Release Date: May 14th, 2021 Available on: Xbox One, Steam, PS4 Where to Buy: Xbox, Steam, PlayStation Store Mass Effect is a series of video games that have been around since 2007. It is an RPG game with a lot of action and combat. The story revolves around Commander Shepard and their crew on the starship Normandy, exploring the galaxy and saving it from various threats. The Legendary Edition includes all six games from the original trilogy as well as a remastered version of Mass Effect 3 that was first released on Xbox One in 2015. It also includes access to all six DLC packs that we're released for each game as well as new characters like Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect 2's DLC pack "Lair of the Shadow Broker." The linear gameplay puts the Mass Effect series on our list of the best games like BioShock. 4. The Outer Worlds [caption id="attachment_226" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Nintendo)[/caption] IGN: 8.5/10 Release Date: October 25th, 2019 Available on: Steam Where to Buy: Steam The Outer Worlds is a first-person action RPG that takes place on a futuristic, alien planet. It is developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the company that has made games like Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity. BioShock and The Outer Worlds are role-playing games that rely on the storyline. Both of these games have excellent stories and dialogues, making them worth playing solely for that. This game will offer you countless hours of fun as you continuously discover new things and is definitely worth playing. 3. Fallout: New Vegas [caption id="attachment_227" align="alignnone" width="480"] (Image credit: Microsoft)[/caption] IGN: 8.5/10 Release Date: October 19th, 2010 Available on: Xbox 360, Steam, PS3 Where to Buy: Xbox 360, Steam, PS3 Another game developed by Obsidian Entertainment has made its way on our list of the best games like BioShock. Fallout: New Vegas is a post-apocalyptic RPG. It finds a nice balance as an Action RPG between accumulating gear and letting your actions affect the world around you. New Vegas features a huge open world as opposed to BioShock. However, both titles are quite similar in terms of how the story progresses. You have a lot of options, and you can steer the story in any direction you see fit. 2. Dishonored 2 [caption id="attachment_229" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: Playstation.com)[/caption] IGN: 9.3/10 Release Date: November 11th, 2016 Available on: Xbox One, Steam, PS4 Where to Buy: Xbox One, Steam, PS4 Dishonored 2 is a stealth-based RPG. The original Dishonored game was a fun game. However, Arkane Studios improved on its minor flaws for the sequel, making it a near-perfect stealth game. Dishonored 2's light and free-flowing gameplay made things larger, better, and more challenging for the player. It also improved the graphics. The first game had a distinct art style which also carried forward to the second game. All in all, if you’re a fan of stealth games, then give this one a try.

1. Half-Life 2 [caption id="attachment_230" align="alignnone" width="600"] (Image credit: BBC)[/caption] IGN: 9.7/10 Release Date: November 11th, 2016 Available on: Xbox 360, Steam, PS3 Where to Buy: Xbox 360, Steam, PS3 Half-Life 2 is probably considered one of the best story-driven FPS games ever. If you’re into PC gaming, then you might’ve heard about this game at least. It is developed by Valve and is a direct sequel to the original Half-Life game. The story of the game picks off right after the original game's events. You once again step into the shoes of Morgan Freeman. Half-Life 2 blends shooting, puzzles, and storyline. Even though the game is quite old, its graphics still hold up to some extent. Plus, you can always use some enhancement mods to make it look more beautiful. If you love Bioshock, make sure you check out the Top 10 Best Games Like Code Vein.

Advice for IGCSE English Literature

Hi there! So, I recently finished my final English Literature examination and I wanted to share some tips and resources! Hope you guys find them useful :)

Please note that not all of the tips provided below may suit you but I suggest trying some of them to see if they work :)

During the exam

1. Remember that you’re supposed to provide an ANALYSIS and not a summary for an answer

2. ADDRESS the question and only the question — it’s easy to drift away from it and ramble so watch out for that

3. Identify the KEY TERMS in the question and which sections of the poem/story/play you are going to use — for my mock examination, this was the question I received for the poetry section in Paper 1: 

How does Hopkins vividly convey thoughts and feelings about the bird in The Caged Skylark?

the key terms here are “how” and “vividly convey” so focus on that when answering the question

4. Ensure that you have a sustained personal response throughout the paper — avoid making statements like “his/her work is quite brilliant” and try to focus more on the effect the author intended to evoke with a particular phrase/quotation and comment on how said phrase/quotation would affect the reader 

5. WHY? — don’t just state that the writer has used imagery. Talk about WHY they used it in that particular moment in the piece and their intentions

6. ALWAYS mention the:

themes

tone: gloomy? lighthearted?

structure:  this is especially important for poems

literary devices: imagery, repetition etc

7. You can also score more marks by commenting on parallels — it shows that you have a good critical understanding of the story and that you’re able to show individuality and insight!

8. Further to this, you can also mention contrasts in scenes and their impact on the overall effect of the piece

9. Don’t use lengthy quotations, examiners detest this!

10. Time — You’ll have two tasks in each paper so devote 45 minutes for each one and stick to this plan! It becomes really easy to add some extra points but it ultimately affects the quality of your second answer so avoid that at all costs! BALANCE your time!

Some websites I found useful:

1. https://www.enotes.com/  — I suggest typing the title of your story and “enotes” along with it for immediate results

2. http://sittingbee.com/ — like enotes, just type the title of the story and “sitting bee” along with it in the search bar

3. https://poemanalysis.com/educational-syllabus/cambridge-igcse-literature-english-0475-2020-21/

4. https://www.litcharts.com/

5. https://www.ibdocuments.com/LitCharts/ — this site contains litcharts guides which you can download free of charge!! it saves you a lot of money and hassle so I highly recommend it!

6. https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/

7. https://igcse.school.blog/category/literature/

8. https://igcserevision.wordpress.com/english/english-literature-0486/

Some extra tips:

1. I highly recommend going through as many notes or analyses online as you can! They really help you get different interpretations of the text from a variety of perspectives which widens your overall understanding. However, it’s important to ensure that you’re not too reliant on them as it restricts you from providing an informed personal response in your paper

2. Read on characters, especially for paper 2 because sometimes the questions are based on the character and their significance within the story

3. GET FEEDBACK FROM YOUR TEACHERS! — This is so important because when doing past papers and trying to mark them yourself, you’ll find that the mark schemes just provide a rubric for reference. So, try to do some past papers and get them marked by your teacher for some detailed feedback and so that you know which strategy is working for you and what you need to work on

4. Go through some example candidate responses — Cambridge provides multiple pdfs filled with different candidate responses and you can even see the examiner’s detailed comments on the common mistakes the candidate made and how they could have improved their answer! You can find some at this link:  https://learning.cambridgeinternational.org/classroom/course/view.php?id=3198

5. Annotate your texts and focus on aspects of language, structure and form used to convey ideas or experiences — I usually avoid annotating since I don’t find it particularly helpful, but for literature, I focus on the important bits of the story/poem/play and note down a few points on the significance of that particular moment. It really helped making my revision for my final examination a LOT more easier since I could just skip to the parts where I had made the annotations and reinforce those concepts in my mind!

That’s all I have for now! I really hope this was helpful to anybody struggling with literature. If anyone has any other questions or more tips feel free to reblog or send me an ask/message! :)

rating spirit halloween’s new animatronics for 2021

or at least what’s showing as New Arrivals on the site for me. looks like we got 15 new arrivals listed here and im HYPE about them so here we go

the caretaker

pretty standard reaper character with a Gravedigger theme to it. hes... fine? nothing about this particularly stands out to me, but i dont dislike it at all. i like his gravestone. would be good for a graveyard set. i guess ill give him... 6.5/10

mr. dark

at first glance he also just looks like a standard reaper character (or voldemort. he definitely looks like voldemort now that i think about it) but it turns out he SPRINGS UP RIDICULOUSLY TALL LIKE A CURSED WACKY INFLATABLE TUBE MAN and the spring motion in the video is actually really fucking fast so, while this isn’t a lot different from other jumpscare animatronics, i gotta give him credit bc i guarantee this would have scared the fuck outta me in person. according to the site he’s almost 9 feet tall at his full height 

i expected him to jump out and scream but i did not expect. That. i feel like if you put him up on a stage or something to make him loom over people even more he’d be very menacing indeed. would also be really good if you put him behind something so you don’t see him until he's suddenly There

i like him, 8/10 springy spook man 

click for more 

grave grabber

pretty much just a zombie but he’s cute i like him. i like the green eyes. i dont know what it is about him in motion but the video makes him kind of endearing to me for some reason and i dont know why. 6/10

ophelia

at first for some reason i thought the monster’s name was ophelia but i think that’s supposed to be the name of the victim? i think the idea here is “girl haunted by a Nightmare” but the fact that the monster itself is so small and doesn’t actually have a body for the most part makes this unintentionally hilarious to me 

like. it. it’s so small. it’s just a little shoulder demon. it’s so cute 

psst. hey do we have any more cheetos

anyway i like how the girl’s eyes move back and forth but the sounds she makes are uncomfortable and she just looks so. stiff and solid and there doesn’t seem to be any movement at all other than her eyes and the monster peeking out so it’s just kind of weird to look at. it’s an interesting concept but the execution is just strange and unintentionally hilarious. 7/10 bc i still think its really funny 

someone should buy this and mod it into chrona and ragnarok 

harriet hustle

WE DID IT KIDS WE FINALLY GOT A FEMALE CLOWN ANIMATRONIC im so happy i could cry i wish my store had her set up i want to meet her  

i love how they have her hanging upside down like this, it makes it so much more visually interesting than the figures that just kinda stand there looking spooky, even though she doesn’t really Do much (she just swings and her head moves around a little, just laughs, doesn’t have spoken lines) 

i love her outfit i love her hair shes SO cute i love this little murder gremlin i love her i love her 

im still waiting on spirit to give us a female clown figure that isn’t “creepy little girl” (ive commented before on how their only female figures tend to be either the Old Hag or the Creepy Little Girl and not a lot else) but i absolutely love this all the same 20/10

this one is fun too because we also have: 

henry hustle

according to the description he’s actually harriet’s dad!! we have an evil clown father and daughter duo here and im LIVING for it

i dont think ive ever seen spirit do characters that are related to each other like this that’s so cute,

apparently his wife/harriet’s mother left them and ran off with the ringmaster. he’s a single father clown trying to raise his evil daughter clown and i support him wholeheartedly

there doesn’t seem to be any more animatronics on this storyline, we don’t have the mother here and the only ringmaster animatronic they have is the rotten ringmaster who was released previously, but i doubt he’s the homewrecker ringmaster in question. he Could Be. imagine if your wife left you for That. we dont even know if henry’s wife was also a clown or not. spirit halloween clown lore going on here

anyway i absolutely LOVE this clown, he does something INCREDIBLY STARTLING AND UNEXPECTED which i dont want to spoil for you. go watch his video and see what he does its great 

my absolute favorite type of halloween animatronic is the “does something completely unexpected” category and this one is ALSO a clown and a GOOD clown at that

and he’s got this great vintage clown style i really like, i love scary clowns like this that actually look like they could believably be a real guy and not just some kind of mutant Clown Monster 

and hes got cards!! card suit motif!!! i love it i love him this is a great clown 20/10 for him too

w. raith 

we have this one at my local store and listen to me. im completely obsessed with this ghost

it’s pretty much just a ghost but it’s SUCH A GOOD ghost. especially in this photo here with proper spooky lighting and everything. i would absolutely LOVE to see this in a haunt attraction, it looks SO good even in bright store lighting. i feel like this under the right lights and in the right environment could look SO fuckign cool  

the shredded rag look!!! the ethereal glow!! the weird jellyfishy movement!!! the classic wooOoO oO o o ooo noises!! this may perhaps be the ideal ghost. it is without flaw. a perfect specimen. i fuckign LOVE this ghost i want it so badly but i do not have the space or the money for this thing 15/10 w. raith my beloved. my true love. maybe one day 

buzzsaw

at first i was slightly disappointed to see that this guy didn’t have an actual name, but then in the description apparently his name is Bill “Buzzsaw” Jackson and his backstory is he tried to be a wrestler but it didnt go very well so he grafted weapons in place of his hands. i guess. you know, to be better at wrestling. i dont really understand it and i definitely would not have gone with “disgraced former wrestler” as the concept for this guy  

but anyway we have mr jackson at my store right now, he’s Big, i like him. he doesn’t really move very fast and doesn’t jump at you, he just kinda swings his saw around. for some reason he just seems friendly to me and i dont know why. makes me think of like an uncle dressed up for halloween rather than an actual murderer guy. i dont know i cant explain it but i like him hes my friend 8/10

wacky mole

this guy’s also at my store this year, i didn’t know his name was wacky mole fsdgjsdg

he’s listed as a new arrival, but i thought i remembered seeing him before, and the description says he’s a returning fan favorite, so. i guess this is a re-release 

anyway pretty standard Scary Monster Clown. his teeth look like candy corn. i like it but i think they should just Be candy corn. i like his colorscheme and his silly giant buttons. light up eyes are always a nice touch. he doesnt really stand out but hes overall a pretty good clown. 7/10

grim

good ol’ classic skeleton. he’s pretty nicely modeled though and i highly recommend watching the video for this guy because he moves REALLY well for a spirit animatronic, he’s got a way wider range of movement than most of them do and his head moves really nicely. one of the benefits of a skeleton animatronic is you don’t have to deal with lip movement, so his jaw movements match with his lines a lot more realistically. i like the animated glowing eyes too, it really gives him a lot of personality. he’s really interesting to watch. like, it’s just a skeleton, but it’s a really really good skeleton, so, 8/10 

BEETLEJUICE!!

i love love love franchise character animatronics and spirit has so much great beetlejuice stuff this seems well suited to them but looking at it............. hm. hm

he just looks so. stiff and his face comes across like, deer caught in the headlights to me. it Does Not look very natural but it looks slightly better in motion (he just swivels from side to side and says a few phrases but it somehow looks less. shellshocked when he’s moving) 

maybe not the greatest execution but maybe he looks better in person and im still hype to see him so 8/10 regardless 

night stalker

we have this guy at my store too, im still not really sure what’s going on with his arms (did he just rip loose from them and leave them behind? did someone do this to him? i dont know) but i love a good spooky scarecrow. love his Wiggles. hes a pretty good boy. 6.5/10

here we have another pennywise, it pretty much just pops out at you, but it’s still pretty good. i like the full size one they had before better, but this one’s slightly cheaper and would be easier to integrate into a haunted house attraction since he comes with a built in set piece. it looks good but doesn’t do much. 7.5/10 i guess 

GHOSTFACE!!!!

FUCK YES I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

please. please spirit halloween set him up in my store so i can see him

anyway hes got kind of the same issue beetlejuice has where the figure just. looks kind of stiff, and he looks more like a spooky ghost decoration than like, A Person. he doesnt seem to have any lines or anything either, he just kinda pops out. but then again i guess whenever we see ghostface in person in the movies he doesn’t usually talk anyway. i dont really know how id make this better but it seems a little underwhelming somehow. still hype to see it though. 7/10 i guess 

now if we could just get a jack torrance and a bela lugosi dracula id be content 

i would LOVE to see Red from Us but i doubt they’d do one. my other horror beloved is norman bates but i know if they made one of him it’d just be him in a dress waving a knife around (not that i wouldn’t still be hype to see him, but, y’know) (anyway. tangent. moving on) 

mr. howle 

it’s. a werewolf. he howls. that’s....... about it 

it’s a very nice looking werewolf, it’s a well designed figure and definitely looks very imposing, but it’s... just a werewolf. there’s not really anything particularly interesting or creative here. its a perfectly good werewolf. i dont have anything to say about this. 6.5/10 

i also just am not a werewolf person so maybe someone out there who has a greater appreciation for werewolves might like him more

what

you know those really old, short nonsensical videos that Youtube likes recommending to millions of people? I think the early stages of that is happening to one of my videos.

I've gained 5 subscribers in the last week, that's 25% of the subs I've gathered in the previous 8 years before that. I don't put in enough effort in the videos I make for this to be happening. I don't like this, the horrifying ordeal of being known and perceived and all that. Also bonus screenshot:

[Image ID: A tab of the analytics page titled Impressions. It is at 44.2 K, which is up by >999%]

this is a percentage of normal impressions. It is up at least 1000%, because it is greater than 999. That means at least 10 times as many people are seeing my videos in their recommend feed. Yeah sure these might be small numbers, but this sort of growth isn't normal.
