a few years ago, i made a flowchart for my partner in order to convince them to leave a pathfinder group that was actively making their life worse. today i revised my original chart to convince a friend to leave her d&d group that is actively making her life worse.
here is the chart. i promise its utility is not only with tabletop RPGs but it does have a high hit rate for those
ALTI feel this has wider application
Every time someone says "ingredients" I say "ingredience" in response and then I realize I just sound like I repeated them because it sounds the fucking same out loud

What’s something that gives your anxiety?
Making Phone calls
people
socializing
going into a public place
talking to someone i don’t know
going to a party for my parents’ friend
STANDING IN THE CHECKOUT LINE AT TARGET WHILE MY MOTHER IS GRABBING THE MILK
walking to the bus stop after leaving a little later than usual and worrying i’m gonna miss the bus
something unplanned being added into my schedule
having to order first when i’m in a group (even if i already know what i want)
everything makes me scared… idk why.
“Can I speak with you for a moment?” “I need to talk to you.”
My stomach just drops when I hear those words.
if you give me time to over think, then i can easily get anxious over ✨a n y t h i n g✨
Felling tired as hell but then when going to bed I start to fear I’ll have nightmares and suddenly can’t fall asleep, nbd 👍🏼🤷♀️
My favourite: “I need to talk to you. How about Friday next week?”
Suuuure, let me suffer for over a week, catastrophize, and overthinking everything I’ve ever done in the last five years😒
getting notifications
attitude or mood shifts
falling asleep when I’m alone (sometimes, I’m paranoid about ghosts these days I know I’m sorry 😭)
using Ubers and all
giving presentations
confrontation/serious conversations
• Planning to do a new thing
• Doing a new thing

Hi Neil - I saw your response about how you believe that the writers' strike will impact negatively on the Good Omens S2 release. Which is totally understandable. First - I'd like to say that we really feel for you. To have 3 of your passion projects (GO, Anansi Boys and Sandman S2) impacted adversely must be really horrendous for you. Personally, I truly admire your integrity in holding the line.
I'd also like to say that, while I can't speak for the entire GO fandom, certainly all the people I interact with are supportive of the strike, and of your personal stance.
However, it would be logical to say that a drop in figures/ engagement for GO S2 could make it harder to get confirmation for GO S3. So ..we know that once the series is released the best thing we can do is watch 2.1 right through to 2.6 and then start all over again and encourage everyone we know to do the same.
But I was wondering ... is there anything else we can do? Specifically, will engaging with Prime SM posts about GO S2 - bumping up the figures on likes, comments, shares/ retweets/ reblogs - help? There are an awful lot of us out here. If swamping Prime posts with our love for the show will help, I'm sure many of us would be more than happy to find the time to do that. Of if you have any other thoughts, ideas, that you feel comfortable sharing (given the delicate situation with the strike), I for one would be happy to hear them
Thanks for your time,
Wendy

I guess the other thing you can all do is…
Spread the word.
Tell your friends to watch Good Omens, tell your enemies to watch Good Omens, tell those who passionately crave your company that your favours are entirely dependent on whether or not the lovelorn watch Good Omens, and if you happen to find yourself sole monarch of a small kingdom where they have television pass a law to make it compulsory to watch Good Omens.
Do it online, but do it in real life as well.

Day 32/50
I’m cleaning a shelter that’s hosting a day camp, but the camp is wrapping up. I notice something wonderful out of the corner of my eye and am overcome with the urge to share it.
I catch the attention of the nearest camp counselor and say:
“Come enter Bear Mode with me.”
Curiously, she follows me to a little patch of brambles near the shelter. I point to some dark berries growing there.
Me: “free food.”
Counselor: “These are black raspberries! I didnt even notice them.”
Me: “and now you have!”
Counselor: “you never see anyone selling these- I haven’t had them since I was a kid! Thank you!”
She had the biggest smile on her face. My work here was done.
