#mcl ep 17

[candysweetposts]

I finally managed to edit the illustrations for episode 17. Instead of honeymoon, I decided to make it just a regular vacation because I feel like they deserve it.

[mclangel]

Alright! A Rough MCL Nathaniel Ep 17 Guide

Alright, so this is what got me the illustration:

1) When you get to the suite with the first choice, choose to go swimming with Nath.

2) Take the Water bottle! This is important!

3) Say you want to go back to the overlook

4) When you get lost both times, stay confident.  Don’t choose the options that will seem despairing.

5) Ask for his phone - it’ll have a compass!

6) Choose the lychee looking berries

7) Scream.  Loudly (this was so funny to me)

8) Tell Nath you’re going to collect branches and he will collect stones.

9) Get the low hanging branches

10) Tell him he’ll have something funny to talk about with his psychologist (THIS made me laugh.)

11) Choose to take your towel off/the shmexy option.

And viola!

I hope this helps anyone else. I think these were all the choices.

Jason's past info reveal on EP. Five X My own thoughts...

After playing the latest episode of MCL New Gen I had to do this post because when Jason told us about his father I almost fell of my chair screaming "OMG I WAS RIGHT???!!!!!" For those who didn't play the episode 5 yet: 🚨⚠️spoilers 🚨⚠️

So... I had this feeling that Beemoov was going to introduce a family drama for Jason, particularly involving his father, to justify his poor behavior, ya know? Like...: the typical story where the teenager loses his father, faces family problems and ends up becoming bitter and tough because of it. The whole "family is a mess" narrative LOL (I honestly hate that concept of "You can heal she/he" thing that usually come together with this kinda plot, that's why even though I made a difficult past for Jason in my fic, he secretly goes into therapy often... so Candy won't need to worry about being a damn "healer" for him 😂)

In fact, I even considered killing his father when Jason was a teenager in my fanfic because I was so sure his dad was dead. But then I thought, "No... Beemoov wouldn't use that cliché of the man who lost his father too soon and had to take on family responsibilities at 18, right? What a drama!"

So, today I'm here to justify the plot I thought about to you: I didn't kill off Jason's father in my fanfic because in my mind it would be too obvious and cliché. Instead, I wanted to explore a different angle that still included family issues and could add depth into Jason's character. But then... I realized that my own story also ended up being quite dramatic LMAO 🤣😅🤐

The way I created Jason's family tragedy, I know it got intense, and sometimes I feel like such a villain for it (~crying in author language~). For a kid, it must be very though waking up from an accident and listening "So... Your father is in a coma. We don't know if he'll wake up or no. He can live but he can also die suddenly, be prepared." And then you wake up everyday hoping your father will wake up but he didn't and you get nothing instead of a fake hope that the next day will be different... You are unsure if he's going to live or die. You didn't lost the person, but you lost its presence, voice, bad jokes, caring, etc. However, you still don't want to lose hope. So, for Jason kid it was like "I'll do my best everyday so when papa wakes up he'll be proud of me :D"

I decided to put Jason's father (I named him as Gregory) through a coma when Jason was a kid for two main reasons: 1) Give Jason a motivation and 2) don't make him deal with "taking care family matters out of the blue" once he was too young.

> That leads to his uncle (named Viktor) accompanying Jason's growth and teaching him everything about the family business, being a leader and etc. Of course Viktor had an aggressive method once Jason father's part of the family is crap and cruel (as I shared on this post).

Despite growing up with his uncle filling his head with nonsense about love being a weakness and such things, young Jason didn't want to be bitter and iced-heart like that. (Yep, he was a hectic kid but that doesn't mean he was evil, he just liked to have fun messing around.) He remembered his father being kind and gentle, almost as if he wanted to break the tough mold of the family. But later Jason faced many disappointments because, being from a wealthy family, (BTW, I got kinda sad when Jason said they were not rich in the EP 5, but now that's done and I don't regret describing his family the way I did once we didn't have any information hehehe) many people around them were fake. He also suffered bullying for being skinny, so... All of those bad things led him to think around the age of 16-17: "Well, there's no other way. When I'm not at home I'll have to put on this mask that my uncle taught me so others won't walk all over me."

However, internally Jason still held hope that Gregory would wake up someday and... Within his good heart, there was the desire of wanting to make his dad proud ~if he woke up~ Jason had as a kid > it still remained there in his mind, so he gave his best effort in everything they put he to do back that time. But at a certain point there was so much pressure on the poor boy that he ended up having a breakdown. 'Do this' 'Don't do that' 'Be perfect' 'Get good grades' 'Blah blah blah'... At the age of 18-19 Jason found himself having like those "I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" moments of life LOL 🤣 He never really liked everything the Mendal stood for, anyway. He always found it a drag to attend luxury dinners, close deals and pretend to be someone he wasn't… Jason ended up becoming a rebellious young-adult despite being studious and dedicated to his goals.

And then things got worse when Jason was near his 20-21 years old: his father sadly woke up in a minimally conscious state. (So: today his father is not dead, but he's not "living" as well. You know? When someone is awake but can't talk, move, etc. sometimes the person can exhibit limited and inconsistent responses to external stimuli, but that's all.) I think that was the "breaking point". Jason got deeply disappointed: He felt like everything he had done in his entire life was for nothing. As a result, the dark-haired began to exhibit dysfunctional behavior, skipping work at the family company, arriving late etc, etc. Viktor took advantage of this moment of weakness and convinced the board/the general council that Jason became irresponsible, went off the rail and therefore was unfit for any leadership position and would never be good enough to take the vice president or president's company role. That made our hated beloved protagonist really angry, it felt like a big betrayal for him. Following that, in a fit of impulsivity, Jason had those moments of "'Fuck you guys. I don't need you idiots. My family sucks and I'll prove them that I can make it on my own without using my father's name.' And that's why he resigned from his position and began working on something else, which would later culminate in the founding of Goldreamz. (Fortunately, this was the moment he decided to start seeing a therapist again, for our sake's.)

Well... I gave you too many spoilers of the fic already, so, basically: Jason’s past sucks and his journey in my point of view is intertwined with themes of redemption, ambition, growing and a desire to protect those he cares about besides his own heart ~which he chooses to not open up with random people. He's not an asshole/jerk, but he decides consciously to behave as if he is one because a bunch of internal reasons. (His therapist is still trying to work on that btw 👀) Jason only shows his truly self when he with his mom, brother, close friends and some of his mother's relatives. (And hopefully, near Candy... As time goes by and they fall for each other) Selective behavior, ya know? It is common for people undergoing therapy to selectively share their true feelings and thoughts with a trusted inner circle, while emotionally protecting themselves from others. Besides, we must remember that therapy is a long and sometimes non-linear process: Jason may resist complete changes, preferring to maintain a protective behavior while slowly working on his internal issues. Jason does not intend to change it, actually. He's happy with only the people he cares about knowing who he truly is... He's like: "bitch, I don't care" about the others. 😅😆

With all of that said: I can’t wait to delve deeper into Jason's motivations in my upcoming chapters, exploring the intricate web of personal and professional stakes that drive Jason’s actions. 🤭 Stay tuned for more revelations and twists 🤪

If you’ve been following my fanfic, let me know your thoughts on Jason’s development and how you think his backstory ties into the larger narrative. And if you’re just catching up on the game itself (MCL New Gen), what do you think of the latest episode? Let’s discuss!

If you're not following my fanfic, I recommend you read this post first 😅 Thank you all for supporting my work and crazy ideas 💖

❔answering questions: - which club did you pick? I picked the gardening club, because even though in real life I cannot take care of a plant for the life of me (i've tried) i'm even less... skilled, in sports lol. Don't get me wrong I think both things are fun but it's just not my thing.

headcanon time: My Candy signed up for the gardening club, befriended Jade (and had a crush on him at the start of the year) and because she was more a danger than anything in the garden (shenanigans ensue) , she ended up switching clubs, then became representative of her class (I imagine the high school has a lot of students, she's from a different section than the other characters on the first year.) and that's how she ended up befriending Melody and Nath. In the second year, Jade switches schools :c he was one of her best friends there.

-which is your favorite ep?

oh, don't ask me that :") I'll better give you a list in NO specific order because I really, REALLY can't choose: 17 (bye Debrah), 21 (the play!!!), 23 (nath's house), 31 and 32 (lysander's arc), 33 (iris party) and 40 the finale of course! - which non-datable character you like the most?

Priya wasn't datable in HSL so her lol, also Jade and Dajan are really cool in my mind, even thought they appear in only two episodes for some reason I always include them in my headcanons. Mmm, this is hard lol because I like a lot of characters from different reasons and it's hard to compare them to each other yk. Like, objectively we may feel more inclined to say Rosa or Alexy, but that's because we know them really well. But then there's Iris best girl for example, Leigh is also really nice. And then I have fanon versions of Melody and Karla that, in my mind, make me like them more...

It's tough man, but being honest, probably Amber because yes in HSL she was a BULLY I think, as a character, I really like her, she's compelling to me.

👩🏽‍🎓univerity life: to start

❔answering questions:

-what do you think of the removal of kentin, armin and lysandre?

because I have had a lot of time to reflect on this, and now we have alternative life and everything, I think it doesn't hit me as much as it did when I saw the news the first time. Of course it's still sad, because reading all the amazing headcanons people have for these three LIs for that season really makes me wish they did something different but hey! I think the new routes weren't as bad as people make them to be, because they constantly like to compare the new v.s. the old routes and that's not the point. The point is for people to have fun, and i've seen fanarts, fanfics and blogs dedicated to Hyun, Rayan and Priya :D also, adding Priya as a love interest IN MY OPINION was a really nice choice, a lot of people liked her before and now being able to date her??? queen, just give me the ring.

-which one is your favorite episode?

I haven't played this season myself, but i've watched the playthrough of it on YT (planetsucrette te adoro) and honestly? episode 15 "Emotional Rollercoaster" HAS to be at least in my top three for this season, yes i'm a nathaniel girlie but idk, all the drama and the build up and the illu!!! ugh it's so good, I really enjoyed watching it and I cannot imagine finishing that episode and have to WAIT for the continuation!!! the intrigue!!!

Also Rosa's story reaaally pulled my heart strings, i'm going to be honest with you, and there's a scene where Candy has this memory box and there's a bunch of photos from High School, and there's one with them and Alexy and the way they narrate that part is just- is fantastic, I loved it a lot. I think it's on ep 11.

-is there something you don't like about this season?

uh... well, for the longest time, I didn't even wanted to know what it was about, mainly because my interest remained in HSL and the fact that 2/3 of my boys weren't even there was not motivation, at all. There's nothing at the top of my head that I have to critique in general. Maybe if I gave it a little bit more thought, but eh, not in the mood.

💎 alternate life

lysander: (1st episode)

questions for you ♡

how do you feel about his new design?

i'm in love with his new design, not even going to lie to you. literal heart eyes every time i see him 💗💗💗💗💗

what do you think of his character development?

mmm... i think i said somewhere else in the SEA of post I have rambling about this game lol but, I agree with the sentiment that they could have took a different approach to his story in general. He's still charming, of course, but i'm completely biased in that.

non-datable characters that I love

yes the whole HSL cast. i don't care. they forever will live free in my mind.

general questions ♡

-how did you discover the game?

thanks to a friend who really liked anime :) she was my best friend at the time but I ended up falling in love with the game thanks to roleplaying with two of my best friends in the world + my new bestie because the other one switched schools lol. Now that I think about it, I don't know what her route was xd

Random fact: Those two friends I mentioned? They are both in love with Lysander and are always telling me they are going to steal him from me JAJAJAJA. All of us are head over heels for Armin though. One of them is Kentin's route and Castiel's route (yes, the complete opposites lol) and the other one loves Castiel TO DEATH. Also, my IRL bestie is also Castiel route and uh, quick question: Why does EVERYONE I know love Castiel while the dude literally hates ME? I'm saying like, in every damn account he always manages to be my LOWEST lom. Wanna know why? because I always befriend Nath.

-which one is your favorite special episode (ex: halloween 2011, easter 2012, ect)?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH NOOOOO DON'T DO THIS!!!!! but-

I have fond memories of playing the Valentine's 2018 event, it was the last one :"""") (i think). Why do I remember you ask? Because I did screamed when I saw this illu for the first time:

look at my boys. LOOK AT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-have you played the spin-offs? if yes, which one was your favorite?

sadly no :c i'm short on AP yk, I'm a free to play girlie till the day I die.

💗 the end?

and that's the end :))) If you've read any part of this uh, thank u??? I started writing this tag as a fun silly activity but I ended up getting invested and thinking more about my silly AU. Also, you may have noticed I just call my candy "Candy" and that's not because they don't have names, but the reason is because they are my real names and I don't feel comfortable sharing them online!

I've tried to search for synonyms of my names to use for them, but they just don't feel like me and at the end of the day, My Candy Love is supposed to be played from your perspective and so, yes my candys have different personalities and dynamics with the characters but idk, they are based around me and so giving them other names doesn't really work for me??? it's a matter of preferences I guess.

i'm really fond of this game, but it's a part of me that i only get to talk openly about here on tumblr or with those 2-3 friends, so writing all of this was a sweet experience.

[the-skull-breaker]

so Eldarya is over now, uh... ?

I could say that I'm glad, but I'm actually mostly sad, sad because not only it was one of my first VNs and one of the ones that made me actually appreciate romance in fiction, but also because of the way Beemoov treated it starting with the end of season one to the whole second season, all the missing opportunities, the lack of actual romance and these underwhelming and boring last episodes, add to that the treatment of the characters, especially the ones that were gone, all of that fells so disheartening that I stopped playing the episodes since ep 17.

don't get me wrong, I still love Eldarya and I still hold it in a special place in my heart, and I did enjoy some things in ANE, but I guess I just wanted to get over it before it was over, just like how I never played ep 30 of TO after knowing Valkyon's fate, i don't know...

I'm still hoping MCL NewGen will be as great as Eldarya used to be, even though it's not in the context I'm used to, and I'm excited to have some fluff for my poor lonely heart.

MCL NG Ep 9 edit (pt 1)

For a second I forgot what happened in this episode :)).

HC time (long af):

Well, Elizabeth doesn't have siblings but she sure has cousins. One of them is Théa, who basically acts as Ysaline's little sister. She's a bit of a girl with an attitude (maybe I'll make a sprite of her if I remember). She and Elizabeth have a bit of a feud for some reason, constantly making comments about each other. Théa asked for help with her internship and Elizabeth obviously refused.

At work, things mostly went like in the actual episode. Elizabeth meets Devon's little brothers and she thinks they're nice kids and tries to guide them as best as she can. She also acted a bit awkward around her co-workers since she hasn't forgotten the Roy incident. She's still very mad but tries to keep her emotions down and yes the others also feel awkward around her since she gives them side-eyes whenever she can.

She chose to take care of the new interns alone and only talked about work.

After work, Elizabeth receives a call from her cousin who informs her about where she went and that she has to come and sign some papers because her parents are busy and she's closer to the location (she did that to piss her off mostly). Of course she denied it at first but was slowly convinced since she wanted to see Jason.

At Jason's office, he is surprised to see her since he didn't know she was Théa's cousin. So Elizabeth asks how Théa did and Jason sensing the tension between them says that she did very good with a smik. Théa also sensed the tension between Elizabeth and Jason wanted to stir some drama and asked "Are you sleeping with this guy?" to which Elizabeth trying to save face made a joke and said "Yes, so what?.... joking. Why do YOU care?" and then Théa didn't say much and left feeling a bit awkward.

Jason also felt... something but brushed it off and talked more about Théa and how good she did and from here they had the same conversation as in the episode leading to Jason talking about his father and Elizabeth proposing to steal a boat. They talked some more on the way and it seemed like they were actually having a normal conversation. Elizabeth felt bad for Jason and tried to comfort him as best as she could and even talked about her own father who lost his father figure when he was very young (17 to be precise) and was left by himself mostly.

They seem to bond over this and they had a sweet moment on the boat where Elizabeth was talking way too much and Jason listened but he enjoyed it nevertheless. He almost felt comforted by Elizabeth's words and how she seemed to be able to talk about it so freely and understandably. She even patted his shoulder and told him that it's ok and that he seemed so strong for going though this and not breaking down.

After that Jason took Elizabeth home and they said goodbye to each other. She immediately entered the house feeling all warm and fuzzy.

Here's the outfit:

I really like this outfit. It's very fitting Elizabeth's style.

[theinsolentone]

Trash alert! 🚨

That’s not what I wished for when I said: “Beemoov, let Nathaniel take off those junkie clothes!”

Can we please talk about these leggings?

However green hair suits you, Nath.

Why the spin off hate is completely stupid

You know what's really stupid about all the "ChRoMe iS JuSt a ChIlD AnD TheY'Re SeXuaLiZinG hIM? He'S nOt evEN 18 YEarS oLd!! HoW dIsGusTiNg!"? Is this: Chrome is 15 years old. My candy love started in their second year of highschool since there were 2 big exam episodes (ep 8 and 38) it means that

From ep 1 to 8: 2nd year of highschool (or at least part of it since apparently Candy transferred in the school at the end of the year)

Episode 9: holiday

Episode 10 to 38: 3rd year of highschool

Episode 39: the results and the party

Do y'all understand where i'm getting at? No?

It means that when my Candy love started some of the boys were still 16 years old. SIXTEEN. Only ONE year older than Chrome. But i don't see any of you complaining about episode 9 where they were on the beach and we've seen them shirtless. At that time they were probably 17, so yeah. Less than 18 years old and no one gave a fuck. Why? Because they don't look as young as Chrome, let's be realistic 2 secs. Not every 16 year old boy can be as tall or as muscular as Castiel for example. Hell. Even Armin has abs which tbh doesn't make sense! They went on and on about the fact that he hates going out and plays video games all day then suddenly he has a 6 pack?? What? Don't get me wrong, Armin is my favorite MCL boy that's why it doesn't make sense to me.

Chrome just didn't get to go through his growth spurt, that's all. Not everyone has it on the same age and it just so happend that the MCL boys had it early (and also because they didn't want to make them look too young, not everyone who plays the game is 16 anymore, most of the people who played the game back then are probably already in their early twenties. But are they pedophiles? No. Just... stop it.)

It isn't the first time it happens either. I saw some people doing fanart of Chrome when he's grown but no one complained and now that Beemove did a silly spin off episode of him suddenly growing in size everyody's like "Eew, wtf Chinomiko? He's a kid!" And no. If you're 15 years old in France, you're not considered a kid anymore. In France we have Sex ed in school as soon as we're 12, why is that? Because these days, people have sex at younger and younger ages and it would be sad if they catch something nasty for the rest of their life because they didn't know how important wearing condoms during sex is. And to be fair they didn't even make anything happen between Erika and Chrome.

The most "sexual" thing that happend was when Chrome changes clothes and Erika walks in on him while he struggles to put his shirt on. However they don't make anything explicit out of it, if i had to make a summary of the scene it would be.

Erika: Chrome, why are you taking so long?

Chrome: I can't put this stupid thing on!

Erika: Uuh... you okay there? Want help?

Chrome: Yup.

That's it.

Sure there were options where you could say to Chrome that he looks handsome in this form and everytime he just answers with either "Oh gee thanks." Or "Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

They weren't trying to make it weird, did y'all ever watch a show or a cartoon or... whatever in your life?

There's always this one episode where an adult/teenager goes back to being a kid and his friends have to take care of him and bring him back to normal.

They just made the opposite of that.

I'm pretty sure that if the episode was about Miiko going back to being a child and the members had to take care of her no one would've said "EEW, PEDOPHILIA. THEY MADE AN ADULT GO BACK TO BEING A KID FOR FANSERVICE." Those spin offs are supposed to be fun little episodes and the people behind them are artists, writers and programmers. Not... pedos. They're adults. They know what they're doing. Can all of you understand how stupid you sound considering the fact that MCL characters are also teenagers and just happen to look older than Chrome?

I also saw people saying that once he became tall he started getting full of himself. And to those people, i want to say with calm and respect: Did you *meet* Chrome? He's always been a brat, it's not news. Of course he would take advantage of his form to flirt with some girls here and there?? I could see him becoming like Nevra in the future yet nobody says shit on Nevra because... what? After like 5 minutes Chrome already got tired of the girls and ran to Erika begging her to not leave him alone with those girls. The only time he wanted to stay alone with a girl was with Karenn which makes sense. I would actually say he was quite truthful to himself, he didn't just jump on a random girl 'cause he suddenly became good looking. Rather than that he was using his looks to get away from them, sure he had fun for a minute with Ykhar and tested his new looks but that's about it.

Do you even remember when he was on a boat with Erika and locked himself up with all the food in a room of the boat because he had a petty argument with her? Leaving her alone to do the job of navigating the boat and without giving her food?

And y'all are surprised that he asked you to pay the clothes? He also said that he would pay back later, it's not like Erika was going to war in his place. Sure, he was being rude about it but like i said he's always been a brat. The reason why a lot of people got triggered at that part is because no one wants to lose their maanas they spent days collecting.

Anyways... that's what i had to say.

My Journey

I would like to share my story because it took me years upon years to rise to the Phoenix that I am today.

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies Beyond The Lights is Blackbird, both by Nina Simon as well as Noni. The lyrics in Noni’s version, second verse, are:

“Now I rise as the phoenix escapes from me…

…through the fire, through the flames

leaving ashes underneath…

I'm free at last,free from you

free from the past

freedom at last

what is life, other than a cage to me…”

Fibromyalgia will claim me no longer

I first started feeling pain in my back around the age of 14. I have had several injuries: fractured left wrist, fractured left hip, torn MCL in left knee, blunt force trauma to my left eye multiple times, broken toes, broken fingers, swollen meniscus, bursitis, sciatica, solar plexus issues, sprains & strains especially in my neck and spine as well as majority of joints and other issues. All of this was discovered from X-rays and MRIs. The doctors could see my spine very out of alignments with some slight unnatural curvatures acquired from poor posture and other bad habits. Massage, topicals (especially CBD, tiger balm, biofreeze, and Penetrex), and stretches/yoga helped tremendously. By the time I was 17, the pain was so unbearable that I could only lay in bed crying and I had to resign from my job & also had a tough time working ever since.

My father took me to a chiropractor named Dr. Bob W. He adjusted me several times, however the adjustments would not hold. My mother took me to the doctor and he said I needed to see a neurologist. I went and had to get several tests done including a nerve test where they insert a needle into your nerves in your arm. They could see that my muscles were twitching but could not find the cause.

I was referred to physical therapy. I worked hard for 3 months but my pain only got worse. Eventually my pcp prescribed me muscle relaxers, tramadol, and a seizure medication in college. A few days later while taking mt world civilizations exam, I noticed that I could not sit still. The seizure medication was causing tremors which my pcp said was an adverse affect and I was having micro seizures. They took me off of the medication however it took around 96 hours to get out of my system according to the half-life. I still actually have a mild tremor/twitches to this day. After that was the trigger point injections which were very painful as the doctor inserted a need in all of the fibromyalgia trigger points generally near joints as well as nerves and vertebra. Eventually those stopped helping as well.

Then I tried marijuana for the first time. I used to be very against all drugs (straight edge XXX), however marijuana saved my life. Most of my pain was instantly eased away. So I went from social smoker, to buying on occasion, to full bud smoker is a matter of months.

My mother was upset about it though and the stress of moving in with my mom and only smoking bed when she was asleep and outside at that made me pick up the horrible habit of smoking cigarettes. I tried K2 but we all know the horrible adverse affects of that. I first got the Marlboro Skyline but then they discontinued them so I switched to menthol. I just recently switched to menthol golds/lights and actually prefer American spirit but they are so expensive. I started rolling my own cigarettes and blending different tobaccos for a a smoother taste. Then I remembered my friend Age in college used to smoke herbal cigarettes, Luna I believe to be the brand but I think they discontinued them. So I decided with my business (Skull Treats), we will bring back herbal cigarettes and detox from tobacco together. I have been using foot detox pads and they are amazing, another product I am working on.

I actually mix CBD with my THC and it is delicious and makes the bud last longer. I am working on getting my medical marijuana card as well as assisting in legalizing recreational marijuana (clinical trials are being planned). Marijuana assists with so much and I had even read before in a scholarly article that it helps detox your lungs of the harmful tobacco byproducts. I don’t believe that experiment was replicated enough in diverse enough populations, but another research experiment I would love to try.

A slight bio, I graduated from Robert Morris University (BS in Biology 2013), attended Chatham University (MS in biology 2014; did not finish), and Devry University (MS in project management 2014; did not graduate). I am currently attending Harvard University (Certifications in Spanish, Japanese, Psychology of Personal Growth, and Oracles - Omens & prophecies 2021) as well as Shaw Academy (Tarot, Crystal Healing, Alternative Therapies, Jewelry Design, Video Game Design & Development, Mini MBA, Coding, Writing 2021). I will be working on my PhD in biology & psychology hopefully next year at University of Pittsburgh, an affiliate of Skull Treats (most organizations mentioned are or are in the process of becoming official affiliates and majority of research shall be conducted with Pitt/UPMC).

Anyway, I had seen that my friend Jordan was a reiki practitioner so I booked an appointment. The appointment was amazing, she gave me the background of reiki as well as crystal healing before playing some zen music. During my session I kept seeing purple and lilies. She told me after she had seen the color purple as well!

“The color purple symbolizes power, insight, and tenderheartedness, purple boasts numerous good qualities. On a more negative note, purple can also be overly sensitive and unnecessarily vigilant. Fortunately, the good outweighs the bad when it comes to this marvelous wonder. With its uplifting spirit and undeniable beauty, purple entices with ease…”

I did my research and seen that Savella was the newest drug approved to treat fibromyalgia. My doctors had not heard of it so they needed to conduct their own research. After a month, they agreed to let me try it and it has completely changed my life! The only pain I have left is my knees and joints which are apparently arthritis which I will get treatment for as well. My doctor recommended aqua therapy as well as occupational therapy for small more focused tasks.

If anyone is suffering from any chronic pain, whether minuscule or severe, try Savella. I have tried majority of the popular antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety, muscle relaxants, nerve and other medications and therapies. Gabapentin and lyrica ( a GABA isotope) did not help even in high doses and neither did Cymbalta.

“Savella is a prescription medication for the management of fibromyalgia in adults.

Savella is a prescription medication for the management of fibromyalgia — a common, chronic condition that causes widespread pain and affects an estimated 6-12 million people in the United States alone. The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown.

An antidepressant, milnacipran is one of three drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat fibromyalgia. While relief of fibromyalgia pain can help people feel less fatigued, milnacipran appears to have an additional effect on fatigue — separate from that associated with pain relief.

Many experts believe that fibromyalgia is associated with changes in the processing of pain signals in the brain and spinal cord.

In clinical studies that compared Savella to placebo, patients who took Savella said:

* They felt less pain and

* their fibromyalgia overall was improved

* their physical function was improved

Savella is categorized as

An antidepressant, belonging to a class of drugs called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI).

Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are a class of medications that are effective in treating depression. SNRIs are also sometimes used to treat other conditions, such as anxiety disorders and long-term (chronic) pain, especially nerve pain. SNRIs may be helpful if you have chronic pain in addition to depression.

SNRIs ease depression by affecting chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) used to communicate between brain cells. Like most antidepressants, SNRIs work by ultimately effecting changes in brain chemistry and communication in brain nerve cell circuitry known to regulate mood, to help relieve depression.

SNRIs block the reabsorption (reuptake) of the neurotransmitters serotonin (ser-o-TOE-nin) and norepinephrine (nor-ep-ih-NEF-rin) in the brain. SNRIs approved to treat depression.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved these SNRIs to treat depression:

* Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq)

* Duloxetine (Cymbalta) — also approved to treat anxiety and certain types of chronic pain

* Levomilnacipran (Fetzima)

* Venlafaxine (Effexor XR) — also approved to treat certain anxiety disorders and panic disorder
