Cat hybrid reader trying to feed on cow yandere in public?

[This is the brattiest reader I've ever written. (Mentions of lactation)]

"Thirsty...."

You despised the city. Nosy, overcrowded, and most bothersome of all - prevented you from obtaining what you loved most. Your caretaker had to run into town to picking something up from a supplier and brought you with them on the count of you being their emotional support. You were nestled together at their side on an outside bench at a coffee as you waited - position increasing your suffering tenfold.

At the angle you laid your face was perfectly cushioned by their fatty chest. Your cheeks rubs against the pads tapped over their leaking tits as you stir - wallowing in your misery. With how scarcely your lips left their skin, the cow had fundamentally became a milk factory. Beneficial on your end as well as theirs in most scenes, but this was not one of those times.

Your caretaker gently nudges you to the crook of their arm as they go to take the tray from the approaching barista - the rich scent of their cream assaulting your senses as rub at your ears - simultaneously pressing you further against their pillowy flesh.

"I know, it's my fault for taking you out in this weather. I'm so sorry, sugar - sit up so you can drink."

You scoot up as they offer you a cup, taking the drink and relishing the condensation dripping down its container. You assumed that comfort would spread once you finally took a sip, but the experience was quite the opposite. You tasted hints of milk, but sugar and cold coffee were unfortunately the dominating flavors of the beverage. The milk lacked the natural sweetness and creamy texture of their milk. Disappointed, you push the offending drink out of range - bleching as the taste lingers.

Your caretaker strokes your back as you sputter. "You didn't like it? Forgive me, Sweetheart, it's a latte so I thought you might... Is there anything else you want?"

Pouring the latte into a decorative plant, you slump back down on their chest, fangs teasing their nipple as you sob. "Milk...."

Your caretaker shutters. Their fragile heart, and heavy tits ache as your soft cries. Small dots seep through their shirt as the adhesive of their bandages loses grip due to all the fluid their producing which you lap at quizzically. "I can see if they'll bring you some to hold you off until we get home..."

Hunger flickers in your eyes - coarse tongue circling their puffy nipple as you reiterate. "milk."

They suck air through tight lips - digging at your shirt as you purr at the familiar taste. "Alright... We'll go to the bathroom and you can have a drink. That sound good with you?"

Too far... At the misguided go ahead, you yank their shirt over their chest - ripping off the bandages as you lower your lips to their milky tits. Their shirt falls over your face as you use both hands to massage their flesh, pumping more milk into your greedy mouth as you suckle. Your fangs scrap their nipple as the overflow becomes too much for you to swallow and you choke attempting to force it all down. The cow swats at your hands with no real force behind the blow, wiping at your chin as they take control from you.

"What have I told you about doing that... You're gonna make yourself sick.." They whisper- muttering softly as they craddle the back of your head as you slow to the tune of their gently rocking. "That's it... Just like that... What am I going to do with a trouble starter like you."

Love you like no other is what they'll do. So clingu, but that neediness was just what they adored. They weren't sure what they'd do, if they came home to an empty house and their arms free of claw marks given as you begged on your knees for more milk. Enabling you was a small sacrifice to pay for having you in their arms no matter how spoiled you might turn out to be.

Your caretaker pulls their jacket over you as more eyes wander towards your table, shielding you between their plush body and the couch cushions as someone approaches. You had started to drift off from all the milk you had consumed, and the warm summer sun beating down on you - at peace at last.

"Um... hello, I assume you're the one who purchased the catnip?"

"Yea... wanted to get my sweetheart something to relax them since longer trips make them antsy - but I think I'll be canceling that order."

Health and Hybrids (IV)👽👻💚

[I can't remember the original prompt posters for the life of me but here's a mashup between a cryptid!Danny, presumed-alien!Danny, dp x dc, and whatever prompt made the one body horror meat grinder fic.]

PART ONE is here PART TWO is here PART THREE is here and this is part four 💚 Ao3 Is here for all parts

Where we last left off... Our boy is recovering from Bad Stuff in the Watchtower (involuntarily). Danny gets a bandaid for a variety of wounds that definitely are not covered by a little adhesive bandaid, but hey! Bart’s trying.

Trigger warnings for this story: body horror | gore | post-dissection fic | dehumanization (probably) | my awful attempts at following DC canon. On with the show.

💚👻👽👻💚

Batman clicks on the projector screen. Everyone in the room has access to the slides and note-taking abilities on their tablets. The assembled heroes quietly select their app of choice, sit back in their chairs, and ready themselves for the meeting.

“Good afternoon. For everyone in alternate time zones, good morning or good evening as they apply. Before I begin the approved agenda for this meeting, there are developments on the base that everyone ought to be aware of.”

Click. The slide changes to a fuzzy image of an unusually dense collection of shadows in a typical medical-wing setup. The specific location isn’t clear, but the phenomenon itself is stark against the white walls and flooring. The static on the cameras is atypical for the quality of equipment used on the base.

“There is an extraterrestrial lifeform that has made Medical Wing C their territory. Yes, we know they are there. No, they cannot be moved at this time. Please do not try to take initiative in doing so. Please do not enter the aforementioned medical wing. If you see this entity outside of the medical wing, please leave, ignore them, or otherwise make your presence known. They are generally in search of isolation and seek to remain unseen. All known attempts at self-defense by this entity have been largely non-hostile so far, but we do not know how or if that behavior will change as they heal.”

Batman…takes a breath. Not sighs. The vigilante has more control than that.

“They are severely injured. The exact nature of their injuries are still unknown, based on their—unique physiology—“

Barry squints at the screen. Nope. The cloud still looks like a cloud.

“—But the identified fluids they secrete have been recognized as at least partially composed of red blood platelets and a modified plasma. Based on their aggressive self-defense, the persistent seclusion behavior, and their general lack of responsiveness, the injuries are considered deeply severe and require rest to treat. It is imperative that non-medical staff and on-base heroes maintain as little contact with the entity as possible. We are attempting both delicate medical treatment and non-verbal communication, which have both failed thus far. We have reason to believe that the extraterrestrial is sentient and capable of communication based on—“

Click. The next slide is an image of a nearly-obliterated craft of some kind—tinted glass, wings, debris everywhere, twisted shards of metal that look like they scrape like teeth. Charred black everywhere. Barely visible is a torn–through upholstered seat ten yards away.

A hiss breaks the silence in the back of the room. That’s nasty-looking wreck.

“—This craft. It is relatively rudimentary in its design, and would not have held up to prolonged space travel, but would have required complex intelligence to start and maintain transport. Basic testing has proven that its energy readings, while not precisely contiguous with the Speed Force, show that it has been in contact with extradimensional phenomena. A non-sentient life would not have been able to pilot it successfully enough to crash it—much less to avoid the farmhouse in its path. The result is that we have an extremely wounded entity with no shared form of communication. There have been worrying observations by their medical team, however.”

Click.

This slide is blank.

“We are now pursuing the possibility that the entity has been attacked or otherwise held captive by human organizations here on Earth. There are persistent triggers of aggression brought on by medical settings, adults, and more specifically, any present medical personnel and equipment.”

Batman pauses.

“Their medical team has informed me that their persistent fear has made treatment…difficult.”

There’s a snort from somewhere in the room.

“If you discover any evidence of possible extraterrestrial captivity or torture or experimentation among your usual cast of rogues, please forward everything you are able to base for further investigation. In this time period where the Lanterns are unavailable to return to Earth, Martian Manhunter has been notified of the need of his presence on the base, and will hopefully help settle this matter. In the meantime, as a reminder: do not enter Medical Wing C, do not engage with the entity in any way. Simply make your presence known, and they will flee.

“Now. Onto our agenda. First article: whoever has been taking the toilet paper from the supply closet, stop it. The league is not here to fund your lifestyle habit of two-ply toilet paper.”

There’s more food available more often.

It just appears at the foot of his bed. Like magic. Or, like…like a really, really fast human child.

Some of the packaged foods Danny can’t eat without swallowing them whole, wrapper and all. They’re just too fiddly to get with his claws—the solution is to just swallow it and let the whole thing dissolve in whatever weird ecto-acid is churning in his stomach at the moment.

The rest is fresh from the bakery—or, well the base, anyway, however this moon base gets their fresh foods. Muffins and croissants and sausage rolls and other things he would expect to see on a coffee tray or something.

…Danny prods his stomach.

He’s been too sore to notice, but this half-state of being a somewhat-physical half-ghost is super, super weird. He can eat, but it’s not processed like food is in his living body. Everything he can digest just gets incorporated. Everything he can’t just gets…

He looks down at the slowly growing puddle in his bed.

…Maybe ‘spit out’ is too generous a phrase. Expelled? Excreted?

Ew. Okay that thought is kind of gross and he doesn’t want to think about that while he can’t move away maybe.

He knows, instinctually, that he’s wounded, but this half-and-half state stops him from feeling the specifics. Knowing how, exactly, he’s hurt. Experiencing the majority of the pain and distress.

He curls up on his bed.

Danny hates it here. Not because it’s bad (it is) but because he wants to be home. He selfishly, desperately wants to be home. He wants his rocket sheets. He wants his room with its glow in the dark stars.

…He wants his dad to heat up soup and sit with him, like when he was little and had nightmares. He wants Jazz to sit on the edge of his bed and read to him.

Danny wants Mom.

 …There is some other company here, though.

Sometimes, if Danny is mostly sated and kind of sleepy, the quick human buzzes in with a few of its age-mates. The two don’t get as close as the buzzing human can, because Danny can at least read the Excited!! or Nervous!! or Booored! energy on the human, which makes him more comfortable with letting it in close. Its friends seem to respect his space, though. They don’t go past his curtain, even if it’s open. They talk, but they don’t yell.

Danny thinks he’s getting the soft little bones back in one of his ears, but he can’t fully tell. He can hear that they’re chattering and he can hear which sounds they’re making, but he can’t understand any of them.

Auuuuughhhhh. He pushes the pillow more underneath himself. Does he have brain damage?? Is he…is he missing pieces of his brain??

There won’t be a concrete way to tell until he solidifies again. Gross. He doesn’t want to do that yet.

Or soon.

…Or at all, maybe.

Mom was so mad at him. Maybe he’ll be safe and he can come home if she…if he can’t be touched…?

…No. He remembers. Mom makes things for ghosts.

??Concern?Con??cern?

Danny looks up. Oh. He made the human vibrate all nervously. Danny’s fine. Well—he’s not fine but he’s not hurting more than usual or hungry.

The human is careful not to touch him when he doesn’t want to be touched, but Danny’s feeling generous. When the human puts its hands on the bed, Danny willingly brushes his knuckles up against it.

No claws. A peace offering.

The human goes suuuuper still.

…Uh. Did he break it?

And then it zoooooooms away faster than Danny can comprehend (he jolts) and sprints back with a whole lot of stuff in its hands, and a few things thumpthumpthump ono his bed. And.

Well. None of it smells like food? When he bites it, it doesn’t taste like food either. In fact the texture is…

Danny frowns. Turns over the object so he can see it better. (It doesn’t help.) Is that plastic?

Wait. Danny twists it in half. His wrists ache but the pieces rotate.

…It’s a rubric’s cube.

…Huh.

There are other puzzles too—things that taste like plastic and one that tastes like wood, which he might have dented with his teeth by accident. Whoops. Danny puts that one farthest away, in the hopes that he doesn’t accidentally damage it a second time.

…Huh. That’s. That’s nice.

Danny surprises himself and the surprised!surprised! human with a purr.

It’s not a lot. Not even monetarily is this little offering a lot.

But it’s more than Danny’s had in a long time.

introducing Logan, a nudibranch hybrid (spanish shawl + blue glaucus)! you can find more information about him under the cut

Timid and shy, Logan prefers to make conversation with art rather than with words. After losing most of his extended family in a huge flood, Logan was forced to switch schools, leading to him getting bullied by the local seaweed gangs both during and outside of school. Frustrated by his situation, Logan learned to let off steam by creating artwork. One day, the seaweed gangs caught Logan painting a mural on a wall and jeeringly began to approach him. Logan panicked and tried to wash off the mural with water. He later realized that after doing so, his art began to peel off the wall, turning into a giant oversized sticker. From that day, he learned that he had the unique power to turn art into stickers just by splashing water on the image.  He has since continued to study art and create a variety of murals and tags, turning them into stickers of all shapes and sizes.

Though mute, Logan can communicate through verbal gestures and writing. He almost always carries around a small sketchbook and pencil so he can draw and write wherever he is. He has the unique ability to create stickers from art. Any art he splashes with water - not just his own- will begin to turn into an adhesive sticker that can be reapplied to any surface. Logan is very shy but warms up quickly to new people if shown the right amount of kindness. Be careful when physically interacting with him, though - he has stinging nematocysts on his head (making his "hair"), shoulders, hands and tail. He wears gloves and his hoodie as a bid to somewhat cover the nematocysts, but friends must still be wary of his exposed tail. Logan's nematocysts can be lethal if touched directly. He also seems to greatly dislike having his hoodie soiled with anything other than paint - becoming uncharacteristically angry and aggressive if this occurs.

The culmination of the morphogenesis of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum involves complex cell movements which transform a mound of cells into a globule of spores on a slender stalk. We show that cyclic AMP signalling and differential adhesion, combined with cell differentiation and slime production, are sufficient to produce the morphogenetic cell movements which lead to culmination. We have simulated the process of culmination using a hybrid cellular automata/partial differential equation model. With our model we have been able to reproduce the main features that occur during culmination, namely the straight downward elongation of the stalk, its anchoring to the substratum and the formation of the long thin stalk topped by the spore head. We conclude that the cyclic AMP signalling system is responsible for the elongation and anchoring of the stalk, but in a roundabout way: pressure waves that are induced by the chemotaxis towards cyclic AMP squeeze the stalk through the cell mass. This mechanism forces the stalk to elongate precisely in the direction opposite to that of the chemotactically moving cells. The process turns out to be 'guided' by inactive 'pathfinder' cells, which form the tip of the stalk. We show that the entire development is enacted by means of the aforementioned building blocks. This means that no global gradients or different modes of chemotaxis are needed to complete the culmination.

this is so cool. i looooove complex behavior from simple rules

Robotic Snail Swarms

Year: 2024 Researchers: Da Zhao, Haobo Luo, Yuxiao Tu, Chongxi Meng & Tin Lun Lam Research University: Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society

"Terrestrial self-reconfigurable robot swarms offer adaptable solutions for various tasks. However, most existing swarms are limited to controlled indoor settings, and often compromise stability due to their freeform connections. To address these issues, we present a snail robotic swarm system inspired by land snails, tailored for unstructured environments. Our system also employs a two-mode connection mechanism, drawing from the adhesive capabilities of land snails." - Abstract

Gartell Light Railway por Dunkable Bath Por Flickr: Can you imagine having your own railway in your back garden? Well one family do...The Gartell Light Railway is a privately run narrow gauge railway located at Yenston in the Blackmore Vale, south of Templecombe, in Somerset that opens to the public six times per year. It operates a 2 ft narrow gauge railway running for 3⁄4 mile through 4 stations. The track has an interesting forked layout, incorporating a section of the much lamented Somerset & Dorset Railway. More than just a garden railway, it is also a working museum of traditional railway practice, home to an array of semaphore and colour-light signals controlled from two signal boxes. These both house nineteenth century lever frames, and other heritage equipment. On open days, trains leave the main station at Common Lane every 20 minutes. Highlight of the trip comes when two trains leave Pinesway Junction simultaneously, one heading up the recent extension to Tower View, whilst the other heads down hill, and passes under the extension on its way back to Common Lane as the other train passes above. Motive power is usually provided by the railway's two steam engines and a diesel: The GLR's first steam locomotive, No 6 Mr G was built by the North Dorset Locomotive Works at Motcombe, near Shaftesbury to an 0-4-2T design based on the former Groudle Glen Railway loco Polar Bear which can now be found at the Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre. It entered service in June 1998. The other, No 9 Jean, entered service in 2009 and is an unusual tender tank hybrid based on the design of No 6. As well as providing additional water capacity, the tanks above the driving wheels help to provide much needed additional adhesion on the 1 in 32 gradient coming out of Common Lane. You may also be lucky enough to catch Faith. The 2016 North Dorset Locomotive Works built 0-4-2T No. 8 "Faith" has relocated back to the Gartell Light Railway, where she will remain until being sold. The diesel, No 1 Amanda, originated from the Southend Pier tramway. It was rebuilt in the GLR workshops with a new body that resembles a Crompton class 33. Possibly one of the 'Slim Jim' narrow bodied Class 33/2s from the Hastings line.

Gorilla Glue Strain Guide:

Growth, Benefits, and FAQs

If you're on the hunt for a strain that packs a punch, you've probably heard of Gorilla Glue. It's a powerhouse in the cannabis world, known for its heavy-hitting effects and sky-high THC & THCA levels. I've explored countless strains, but Gorilla Glue always stands out as a top contender for those seeking a potent experience.

In this article, I'll dive into what makes Gorilla Glue a favorite among enthusiasts. From its unique flavor profile to its versatile effects, there's a lot to uncover about this sticky, resinous bud. Whether you're a seasoned smoker or new to the scene, get ready to discover why Gorilla Glue could be your next go-to strain for Exotic THCA Flower.

What is Gorilla Glue?

Gorilla Glue, also known as GG4, is a potent hybrid strain that has taken the cannabis world by storm. It's a full-bodied, balanced mix of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, giving it a complex aroma and a wide range of effects. Recognized for its incredibly sticky resin, the name Gorilla Glue is a testament to the powerful grip of its effects, which can glue you to your couch with its overwhelming sense of relaxation.

Boasting high THC levels that can reach up to 30%, this strain is a favorite for those looking for a heavy-handed euphoria and relaxation. It has won multiple awards, including the 2014 Cannabis Cup and the High Times Jamaican World Cup, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier strain.

The buds of Gorilla Glue are typically chunky, resin-covered, and radiate a pungent, earthy, and sour aroma, which hints at the intense flavor that awaits users. Upon consumption, the taste of coffee and mocha with slight diesel undertones can be detected, providing a complex taste that perfectly complements its relaxing effects.CharacteristicDetailStrain TypeHybridParentsChem's Sister, Sour Dubb, Chocolate DieselTHC LevelUp to 30%AromaEarthy, SourFlavorCoffee, Mocha, Diesel UndertonesEffectsRelaxation, Euphoria, Heavy-Handed

For medical marijuana patients, Gorilla Glue has been noted to aid with chronic pain, depression, and sleeping disorders like insomnia. Its high THC content also makes it suitable for combatting symptoms of anxiety and stress, as long as it's consumed responsibly.

In my experience, I've found that Gorilla Glue also fosters creativity and can be helpful when engaging in artistic activities or brainstorming sessions. Its potent effects can be quite cerebral, offering more than just a physical high. The strain's versatility makes it popular not only among recreational users but also within artistic and medical communities.

The Origins of Gorilla Glue

The ancestry of the Gorilla Glue strain is as rich and complex as its flavor profile. Diving into its lineage, I've discovered that it's the result of an accidental cross between the Chocolate Diesel, Sour Dubb, and Chem's Sister strains. This serendipitous event took place in Nevada, highlighting the unpredictability and excitement inherent in cannabis cultivation.

The creators, Joesy Whales and Lonie Watie, stumbled upon this hybrid after noticing some of the Chem's Sister plants hermied and pollinated the Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel. The outcome was a strain with unparalleled potency and a standout terpene profile. As I delve further into its history, it's clear that the effectiveness of Gorilla Glue comes, in part, from its impressive genetics.

While its roots are firmly planted in cannabis lore, Gorilla Glue's rise to fame wasn't instantaneous. After its discovery, the strain gradually garnered attention in the cannabis community for its heavy-handed effects and multipurpose usage. The adhesive brand Gorilla Glue actually sued the cultivators over the name due to its sticky nature, leading to the strain often being referred to as GG4.

Here's a brief snapshot of Gorilla Glue's journey:

Accidental origins in Nevada

Crossbreed of Chocolate Diesel, Sour Dubb, and Chem's Sister

Remarkable genetics leading to its strong effects

Name dispute with the Gorilla Glue adhesive company

Gained fame for its versatility and strength

As this history unveils, Gorilla Glue's development wasn’t just a mere chance but a testament to the remarkable surprises that cannabis genetics can present. I've noticed that the story of Gorilla Glue resonates with enthusiasts not only because of its qualities but also due to the almost mythical narrative of its origin. It’s these types of stories that add depth to the strains we enjoy and foster a profound respect for the plant’s intricate kinship and the cultivators who bring them to light.

The Characteristics of Gorilla Glue Strain

When we delve into the characteristics of Gorilla Glue, it's clear why it's become a staple in the cannabis community. GG4's hallmark feature is its potent effects which appeal to both recreational and medical users. This hybrid strain typically contains a THC level that can range from 18% to 25%, making it a powerful choice for those seeking a heavy-hitter.

What sets Gorilla Glue apart is its complex aroma and flavor profile. It boasts a pungent earthiness mixed with notes of coffee and chocolate, owed largely to its Chocolate Diesel heritage. This makes for an indulgent smoking experience that's robust and satisfying.

Dense, resinous buds are another standout trait of Gorilla Glue. They're often a vivid green, studded with orange hairs, and covered in a sparkling layer of trichomes—a nod to the strain's sticky moniker. The buds are a sight to behold and the sticky texture makes it a bit of a task to break them apart without a grinder.

The effects of Gorilla Glue are as striking as its physical attributes. Known for providing a wave of euphoria and relaxation, it's frequently sought after by those looking to manage stress, pain, or insomnia. Users report feeling an initial head rush, followed by a soothing sedation that doesn't necessarily lead to couch-lock, allowing for versatility in consumption opportunities.

From a grower's perspective, GG4 is a relatively hardy plant that is resistant to mold and pests, making it a manageable endeavor for both novices and experienced cultivators. It typically has a flowering time of around 8 to 9 weeks and while it can be grown both indoors and outdoors, it does require a bit of space to stretch.

The staying power of Gorilla Glue in dispensaries and amongst enthusiasts is not just about its potency—it's a full package of aroma, flavor, and effects. Its ability to deliver a powerful punch while still offering a complex taste profile ensures that it's a go-to strain for those who appreciate intricacy in their cannabis experience.

Flavor Profile of Gorilla Glue

When I talk about the flavor profile of the Gorilla Glue strain, I'm diving into a complex world of tastes that entice the senses. Coffee and chocolate are the most pronounced notes that hit the palate upon the first inhale. These rich and bold flavors meld seamlessly with a pungent earthiness, characteristic of many heavy-hitting strains. The experience is akin to sipping a gourmet espresso in a lush forest; it's invigorating yet grounding.

But there's also a sweetness that undercuts the robustness, reminiscent of sour citrus fruits. This tangy twist is a delightful surprise, making each session a multifaceted journey. Enthusiasts often detect subtle hints of diesel, which speaks to the strain's Chem Sis and Sour Dubb heritage. This combination of sweet, bitter, and sour makes Gorilla Glue a standout in terms of flavor.

Terpenes, the aromatic compounds in cannabis, play a huge role in shaping Gorilla Glue's distinct taste. Myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene lead the terpene profile and contribute to the strain's sedative qualities as well as its complex aroma. Their interplay is not just enjoyable for the tastebuds but also therapeutic, synergizing with the cannabinoids to enhance the strain's overall impact.

To fully appreciate the depth of Gorilla Glue's flavor, it's best consumed in a way that allows for a gradual temperature increase, like a vaporizer. The gradual heat brings out the intricate layers gradually, making the tasting experience akin to a fine wine tasting. Each puff reveals a new nuance, a whisper of spice or a burst of sweetness, ensuring that the palate never grows tired.

In cultivating Gorilla Glue, growers have achieved a remarkable balance that appeals to connoisseurs and casual users alike. It's a testament to the strain's carefully selected genetics and the meticulous care that goes into its cultivation. Even as a seasoned consumer, I find the flavor profile of Gorilla Glue to be richly satisfying, a true highlight within the cannabis community.

The Effects of Gorilla Glue

When diving into the effects of Gorilla Glue, what stands out is its fast-acting and intense high. As a hybrid strain with a high THC content, it provides a wave of relaxation that often leads to a deep, sedative state. For those navigating the hustle of everyday life, it's the ideal way to unwind. Immediate relaxation is the hallmark of this strain, but there's more to it than simply soothing the senses.

Let's break down the key effects:

Stress relief: The strain works wonders for melting away tension and has become a go-to choice for stress relief.

Pain management: Many users report significant pain reduction, making this strain a favorite among those with chronic pain issues.

Improved sleep: Its sedative effects contribute to better sleep patterns, a boon for anyone dealing with insomnia.

But it's important to acknowledge that Gorilla Glue isn't just about physical relaxation. The mental effects can be just as profound. Euphoria is often cited by enthusiasts, describing it as a powerful mood enhancer that brings about positivity. Soon after consumption, a sense of uplifted spirits and wellbeing takes over, which can be particularly beneficial for those struggling with the blues. For creative minds, it sparks a surge of inspiration and focus that might fade into a dreamy haze as the experience progresses.

The potency of Gorilla Glue should be met with respect. Newcomers are advised to start with a lower dose and build up gradually. This approach allows users to adjust to the impact of the THC levels, which can be overwhelming if underestimated.

For those keen on indulging in Gorilla Glue's robust effects, it's also wise to carve out time in a comfortable setting to fully enjoy the experience. It's the kind of strain that commands attention and sets the stage for hours of relaxation and introspection. Whether you're looking to destress after a long day or seeking therapeutic relief, Gorilla Glue remains a heavy-hitter in the cannabis world.

Gorilla Glue and Medical Benefits

While I share information on the Gorilla Glue strain, it's crucial to understand its therapeutic potential. My experience conversing with medicinal cannabis users has consistently highlighted Gorilla Glue as a go-to for various ailments. Patients report significant relief from chronic conditions, a benefit I attribute to the strain's high THC content and robust cannabinoid profile.

Pain Relief and Anti-Inflammatory Properties

This strain’s effectiveness in managing pain can't be overstated. Chronic pain sufferers have noted that Gorilla Glue helps dull persistent aches. This numbing effect is likely due to the strain's anti-inflammatory properties, which may reduce swelling and alleviate pain at its source.

Mental Health Uses

Those battling with mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression, have found solace in Gorilla Glue's calming effects. The euphoric and uplifting feelings it induces can be a game-changer for mood disorders, grounding users and assisting in managing daily stressors.

Insomnia Relief

Turning to Gorilla Glue for sleep issues is another common use I've encountered. The sedative qualities of this strain make it a powerful ally against insomnia, lulling users into a peaceful sleep. Patients have expressed appreciation for its ability to help them achieve a full night's rest without the grogginess often associated with traditional sleep medications.

Dosage Considerations

It's imperative to remember that the potency of Gorilla Glue means that a little goes a long way. Patients should consult with healthcare providers to determine the right dosage for their specific needs. Starting with a low dose and gradually increasing as necessary can help individuals find the most effective and comfortable treatment level.

Growing Gorilla Glue at Home

Growing Gorilla Glue at home can be a rewarding experience, provided that you understand its unique growing requirements. When I began cultivating this strain, I quickly learned that it's a relatively hardy plant that adapts well to different environments, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers.

The first thing you'll want to consider is whether to grow indoors or outdoors. Gorilla Glue thrives in a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be closely monitored. But it's also quite resilient when grown outdoors, especially in a warm, sunny climate with consistent temperatures between 68°F and 85°F.

For optimal growth, focus on the following:

Soil Quality: Gorilla Glue prefers rich, well-draining soil. I've found that a mix high in organic matter fosters healthy root development.

Nutrient Intake: This strain responds well to a balanced diet of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Incorporating a comprehensive fertilizer regimen into the grow process boosts overall plant health and bud production.

Watering Schedule: Overwatering can be detrimental. I maintain a consistent watering schedule, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering sessions.

Lighting: If growing indoors, an 18-6 light schedule (18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness) is ideal during the vegetative stage, switching to a 12-12 schedule to induce flowering.

Gorilla Glue's flowering time typically falls around 8 to 9 weeks. What's exciting is that this strain is known for its hefty yields. With proper care, indoor growers can expect about 18 ounces of flower per square meter, while outdoor growers might see as much as 21 ounces per plant.

Pest and mold resistance is another characteristic of Gorilla Glue that eases the cultivation process. However, regular checks are important as preventative measures. I like to use neem oil as an organic pest control solution and ensure good air circulation to ward off mold.

Training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST) can also greatly increase yields. Topping involves cutting off the top of the main stem to encourage lateral growth, while LST involves gently bending and tying down branches to expose more of the plant to light.

Nail Technician Nail Extension Methods: Understanding different methods of nail extensions.

Understanding different methods of nail extensions is crucial for nail technicians to offer a variety of options to their clients. Here are some common nail extension methods:

1. Acrylic Extensions:

Acrylic extensions involve applying a combination of liquid monomer and powdered polymer to create a durable and long-lasting artificial nail.

The nail technician applies the acrylic mixture onto the natural nail or a nail form, shaping and sculpting it to the desired length and shape.

Acrylic extensions can be customized with various colors, designs, and finishes.

2. Gel Extensions:

Gel extensions are created by applying a gel product directly onto the natural nail or a nail form, which is then cured under a UV or LED lamp to harden.

The gel is usually applied in several layers, building up the desired length and shape.

Gel extensions provide a more flexible and natural-looking result compared to acrylic extensions.

3. Fiberglass or Silk Wrap Extensions:

Fiberglass or silk wrap extensions involve using a thin, flexible material (fiberglass or silk) to reinforce and extend the natural nail.

The material is applied using an adhesive or resin, providing added strength and support.

This method is suitable for clients who prefer a more natural-looking extension.

4. Polygel Extensions:

Polygel extensions combine the best qualities of acrylic and gel systems.

Polygel is a hybrid product that comes in a tube, which the nail technician dispenses onto the natural nail or nail form.

It requires a special slip solution to shape and sculpt the extension before curing it under a UV or LED lamp.

Polygel extensions offer a lightweight and durable option with excellent flexibility.

5. Press-On Nail Extensions:

Press-on nail extensions are pre-made artificial nails that come in various sizes and designs.

These nails typically have adhesive tabs or glue on the back, allowing them to be easily applied and removed.

Press-on extensions are a convenient and temporary option for clients who want a quick nail enhancement without the commitment.

6. Nail Tips and Overlay:

Nail tips are pre-formed plastic extensions that are applied to the natural nail to add length.

The tips are glued to the natural nail, trimmed to the desired length, and then overlaid with acrylic, gel, or another overlay product.

This method is popular for clients who want to extend the length of their nails without sculpting or building from scratch.

It's essential to stay updated yournailsupplier with the latest techniques and trends in nail extension methods and choose the method that best suits your client's preferences and needs. Proper application techniques and adherence to hygiene and safety protocols are crucial for providing high-quality nail extensions.

Unlike Dorothea, Constance and Hapi at least care about other people. Dorothea‘s "i cared for orphans" is just a lie since many people think she doesn‘t care about other people, only gets worse post-timeskip since she never grows, changes or develops. No surprise why she went from being popular to unpopular and is one of the most hated characters(especially here on tumblr)

Hapi gives some "i don‘t give a damn about anyone and everything" but deep in her heart she does. The same could be said about Constance i think since her "House Nuvelle here, House Nuvelle there" may sound selfish at first but it‘s just about the people who live at her country

I wouldn't say she's the most hated character (have you tried the rhea tag or the dimitri tag ?) on Tumblr, but I guess since Tumblr is more welcoming than Twitter or redshit, you see a lot more "divergent opinions" than on those other websites.

(even if you never know when someone is lurking to bomb you with a perfectly written anon ask!)

And that's fine, but as usual, tumblr etiquette is “don’t put a character tag in your posts if you’re ranting” - make a custom tag or something, but when people are searching for the “Mickey Mouse” tag, they don’t want to see critical posts about Mickey Mouse.

Hapi is Hapi, and Constance, save for being a window into non Enbarrian Adrestian life (and a HC fuel for being a 32th generation of nabatean hybrid), doesn't interest me that much.

And there's nothing "wrong" with a character who doesn't change during the course of the game, or who is an antagonist, like you'd ask me who are my favourite TS characters and I'll reply without a doubt the "Aesfrost siblings with white hair".

I joked with a friend about Supreme Leader's court, but basically, imo, it's a disservice to her character to make her able to ditch Supreme Leader, because Doro's character is dependent on her, regardless of what she is saying - Doro's adhesion to Supreme Leader says a lot about the two.

And the Nopes bit with Hubert calling her a "special kind of commoner" just cements it - Supreme Leader’s supposed to bring a new era for useless and commoners and randoms alike, but even amongst non-nobles, you already had distinctions with people who had talent and merit - Doro - and the useless and non talented ones.

Doro shows how a certain hierarchy already exists within the “non noble” peeps - but never thinks about it because, imo, that’s her character.

Both in FE16 and Nopes it’s the same song : the BESF is basically Spongebob and Patrick when they "did it" and saved the city.

Doro is pretty judgmental, without any self-reflection (remember in FE16 how she suggests to keep the damages to the “well off” parts of Enbarr, so only nobles die from the battle?) but hey, she’s not part of Supreme Leader’s court for nothing!
