@r-m-archer Awesome, thank you! I’ll check that out 🙂
“Enough! Be quiet! I can’t hear myself think! I can’t hear my teeth chatter!"
Well, after trying six times to post a reply, I figured out that it just doesn’t like me putting links in here. So let’s try again xD
For electrocution, I went to the BRCA (Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America) website. Under “community resources” and “safety”, they have a page with a lot of info about electrocution.
For prolonged standing, OSH Wiki has a page on “musculoskeletal disorders and prolonged static standing” that looks promising.
As far as losing a limb to burns, I think absolutely. I doubt it would just burn off, but I bet the flesh could be so badly damaged that an amputation becomes necessary.
And those effects sound reasonable! I don’t have any research to back that up though.
As far as sites to research things, any medical site would be good for things like diseases. For other things, I end up just Googling my questions and using whatever sites come up. But I’m also very hard to make uncomfortable or nauseous (as far as wounds and diseases are concerned). I know that’s not the case for everyone lol. If I come across any sites that look useful, I’ll let you know!
Hopefully some of this helps!

Likely I’ll end up doing that instead of math homework xD
And thank you!!

I don’t have any critiques – but as I was reading it I was struck by the second and third verses. I like the homophones there! I also like the variation in the length of the lines. I don’t always like poetry like that, I tend to prefer the same number of syllables in each line, but I think this works well here. I also like the imagery in general that’s portrayed.
Also, as far as being a good poet or not, I think good is relative. My music theory professor this last semester said something that I think applies here. He liked to say “the reason you’re learning the rules is so you can break them in striking ways later on.” So I think that even if you don’t have “proper” meter and rhymes and mechanics, whatever those may be “supposed” to look like (and even if you’re not even aware where or when you end up breaking them :P), it works very well here.

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer Ooh I really like yours! Lyrical is absolutely right… I was imagining music along with it as I was reading. I may end up writing a few chords into it – If I do, I’ll link the audio file somewhere for you!
I have a contribution as well. (We’ll see if this even posts – I had issues posting on another topic earlier):
Knowing How to be Alone
I got scared, I got unsure
Stretched it out and caused us pain
Broke it off and went my way
Stood outside in pouring rain
Partly healed and partly broken
Not knowing how to be alone
Knowing it’s something I need to learnFound comfort in another friend
Slowly healed a little more
Realized how much I didn’t know
Learned the past isn’t easy to ignore
And still unsure and hurt
Not knowing how to be alone
Knowing it’s something I’m learningSlowly, surely, hurting less and smiling more
Thought I was getting there, lesson learned
But he needed something different – that’s ok
We parted on good terms, no bridges burned
It still stings, there’s ups and downs
But I’m slowly learning that
Knowing how to be alone
And wanting to be alone
Are two completely different things“Enough! Be quiet! I can’t hear myself think! I can’t hear my teeth chatter!"
I think yes! The “hearing” part of the ear is on the inside of your head, so unless the knife gouged into the person’s skull, hearing will still be intact 🙂 Although they’ll probably hear a bit differently, since our outside ear directs sound inwards, so things will probably sound differently.
(Someone correct me if that’s wrong XD )

@skylarynn Hello hello! Took me a while to pop back on here – I don’t have notifications turned on and I only pop on once in a while when I remember to and have time :))
I agree with @rose-colored-fancy about the longsword thing. And I believe her take on the honey application is also accurate, though Jonathan would be the person to say for sure. He might be around tomorrow, I’ll poke him in this direction!

The government as absolutely. no. right. to make my health choices for me. Further, there’s a ton of evidence proving how dangerous the vax truly is, and I’m not putting that in my body for any reason whatsoever.
I agree 100%. I think that it’s each person’s right to decide if they want to get the vaccine, and I won’t preach against them if they want to get it. I do think it’s a silly thing to do, for the health reasons (and also it doesn’t even keep you from getting it, so technically it isn’t even a “vaccine”). And I’m sure not going to get it. But the government shouldn’t tell us what we have to do or not do in that respect.
As far as the masks go, I wore one there when everything blew up in the middle of last year, just because I didn’t really have an issue with it one way or another. I think it was a reasonable enough thing for the government to be like “hey let’s everybody wear these so we can see if that will stop the spread of this” for a bit, but I do think they’ve let that go on long enough. I don’t wear one anymore. I would wear one if I was asked to by someone who has a compromised immune system and they were absolutely not comfortable being around me otherwise (and I’ll admit I’m tempted to wear one to Walmart because Walmart is dirty lol), but other than that I don’t wear them. My state has lifted the mandate, and therefore so has my university, luckily.
But yeah. The vaccine? Heck no. Not for me. I’ve heard some very scary things about it. Again, if someone wants to get it, whatever. I won’t argue with you if that’s what you wanna do. I just don’t want people to be like “oh my gosh you haven’t had the vaccine???!? You’re gonna DIE!!!! Your whole family is gonna DIE!!!!”, ya know?

@skylarynn Hey! Heard ADHD and self-medicating being talked about! I am 95% certain I have ADHD, and I can’t get diagnosed (that I’ve found out, at least) without parental consent (which I’m not sure I can get – long story), since I’m a minor. So I’m trying to figure out how to self-medicate. I’ve tried coffee and tea but they don’t work all that well. I haven’t found a tea with a high enough caffeine content that I actually like, and coffee makes my stomach upset about 75% of the time, so… XD I need something different. Do you use anything besides those to help with your symptoms? Also, do you mind if I ask exactly what things you struggle with? Cause it also may be that we have different types of ADHD and coffee may work for you because of your specific symptoms, but not me with mine. Idk. Any guidance at all?
“Enough! Be quiet! I can’t hear myself think! I can’t hear my teeth chatter!"
I’m good! School is busy as heck, but it’s going well :)))
AND YES, HELLOOO :DDD
(you’re learning Java?? 😀 )
Lemme know if/when you get Discord and I’ll add you as a friend :)))

@this-is-not-an-alien
Oooh nice!! (Just read your results from the character quiz haha)And yes. Coffee is… *chefs’ kiss *
ALSO HOW’VE Y’ALL BEEN @everyone ???
Gosh I’ve missed this so much… :(((
I need to try to find time to at least go read some of what’s been happening over there…
(Edit: In case any of y’all want to keep up with me easier / more reliably [and I know some of y’all don’t share contact info and that’s totally fine], I have Instagram, Discord, and Google Hangouts that I check pretty often, so I can share that with y’all if you want. I’d love to chat with y’all more than I do.)
“Enough! Be quiet! I can’t hear myself think! I can’t hear my teeth chatter!"
I feel so bad that I just saw this now. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love and kind thoughts to you and your family <3
“Enough! Be quiet! I can’t hear myself think! I can’t hear my teeth chatter!"
I’ll see if I have time to record something next week. I have two exams this week and then a two-week break until the start of next semester, so I’ll work on finishing my short story during that time and hopefully have it recorded as well 🙂
As far as answering questions goes, I’ll have to do that as I’m able. I hardly have time to sit for extended periods of time nowadays… 😛
“Enough! Be quiet! I can’t hear myself think! I can’t hear my teeth chatter!"
I would love to submit one! I have a short story I’m working on draft 1 of, and I could fit it into a couple scenes 🙂 So I may read it when I’ve finished. :))

SEEN IS BEAUTIFUL
I LOVE IT
I cried at the ending
Simply wonderful. And your voice is perfect for that narration!!
I’m in the middle of yours now. I’ve gotta pause and continue it later, but I absolutely love it! And your accent as well! And I agree with those who’ve said you read it beautifully. I find that your accent (and any nervousness that came through as you read) only added to the narration. It feels real. Feels dangerous. Feels… feels like I’m there.
