Multi's Thoughts and More

[Gregory Thompson]

Sometimes I can't help but feel mad at myself for being very stupid and very stubborn. I wish I'd done something about my anxiety before it got bad, or at least tried to manage it a lot sooner. I wish I'd done something before I started having annoying symptoms at night. They haven't gone away even though I've managed to reduce my anxiety some. I guess it's not enough...at least I've been sleeping better lately.

A good activity to help with this in the long term is list "faith activities" that you enjoy doing.

Over time you can replace the reflex of anxiety with trust in God.

It should at least lessen the load in the long term.

Hey, Multi, I'm wondering whether you are getting better or not?
It's important to develop mental strength to combat your issue.
Mental strength is an important weapon to deal with it; the following activities can help develop it: praying the Rosary, Christian meditation, physical exercises, etc.

Just praying the Rosary alone would help you very much....no, I should say very very very very much. The Rosary -- just think of the benefits that Mother Mary promised, is enough to inspire you with confidence. If you persevere in praying the Rosary and other helpful activities, your anxiety problem would certainly go away.

(Mental strength alone is certainly not enough, faith is indispensable)

Kind of weird how I never receive emails from CF. I tried setting my preferences to receive more emails but I didn't get any.

Fanfiction's emails have been weird for the past year or two as well. If I have the email setting on, sometimes I'll see a message on the site saying their emails failed to send (for no apparent reason). Then when I have the setting off, I'll receive some emails anyway! Basically, I never know when I'll receive them.

I finally finished chapter 5! It's a long one, so it took a while. I have to think more about what happens in chapter 6.

I was super surprised and excited to get that shiny Zapdos in Pokemon Quest a few days ago! It's not very impressive so far (it doesn't have much HP yet so it faints a lot, and I haven't yet been able to get it to learn a good move), but it will get stronger.

A vast majority of my emails are from CF!

Not that I'm complaining!

I've been doing a little better recently after trying to change my thinking and practice deep breathing daily, thanks. It helps a bit, but I know I need to find the right medication to get better. I still have bad days. Worrying about my symptoms makes them worse, so I try not to worry about them.

Not all fruits are created equal, just as not all animals are equal in nature.
Likewise, not all prayers are equally powerful.

1 prayer is more powerful than many other prayers. It is better than taking medication, far better.

It takes concentration and time, but it offers great rewards. Doing easy things has its tiny rewards, doing non-easy things has its great rewards.

Which Prayer is that?

I finished modeling my fanmade Charaboms! Next I have to either model the other levels and find something else to work on. I'm getting tired of modeling but I don't know what else to do. I feel like I should draw something or try to make an animation or something, but I don't often have the inspiration or motivation to do it.

I finally made my own Discord server!

I'm now on chapter 6 of Mystery of the Mirror Rift. Unfortunately it seems to be going in slow motion, but hopefully I'll get more into it now that I finished that modeling project.

I have been using my shiny Zapdos in Pokemon Quest every day since I got it. It now has more HP and knows Drill Peck, so it's not so weak anymore.

The wicked say, "My unwillingness to practice self-control is more important than anyone else's feelings."

Typical me being the opposite of everyone else...all my favorite Bomberman games and Kirby games were criticized when they were new, while the ones I don't like as much were praised.

I've also noticed that many gamers HATE when a game is easy. Not me; I don't like when games are too difficult! Do that many people really like getting stressed and frustrated by difficult games?!

Also...

God gave us doctors and medicine for a reason.

I'm more of a middle of the road kind of gamer myself. Sometimes I've played games that seemed easy, but apparently there was this "puzzle" at the beginning that made a lot of people give up.

But I know what you mean about "not difficult enough" snobisms with gaming.

It would be interesting to see you make an animation! Also, your shiny Zapdos sounds cool! What is a Discord server?

Thanks! I was thinking about making some kind of animation related to my recent stories, if I can. Discord is an app you can use in your browser or on your computer to chat with other users. Servers are like a chat group with multiple channels that can be joined. I've talked with your brother there before!

I'm going to *try* to stop talking about my problems in the forums. Sometimes I wonder why I ever opened up about them at all. I've had enough judging and shaming over things beyond my control. It does not help and only makes me feel worse. Plus, I want to stop bringing others down.

I did not know what I was getting into when I joined CF. I thought I was just going to talk about my interests without being silenced for my beliefs. I didn't know I was going to be judged, shamed, called self-righteous, accused of things I would never do, have harmless posts of mine taken the wrong way, and get involved in pointless arguments. None of the practicing Christians I met in real life ever treated me like that.

I'm going to go through Kirby-like and themselves Rod of Darkness again and post some more of the funny parts here. I hope you get a laugh out of them like I did!

Instead of chapters, this "story" has challenges.

Why do the cooler months always have to go so fast? I don't want the warmer months to come! I'm never ready for them. (Another thing that makes me different from everyone else...)

Challenge 1: An Unexpected Arrival

It was a beanstalk day (whatever that means).
A blue-garbed magician named Magician (what a creative name) fell out of a portrait created by the Dreamstalk Rod. Boulders bounced off his headache.
Taranza-we was "a silhouettes spider-like withdrawal magician powered-up".
The Dreamstalk Palace had purple-haired whirling marble walls...
Magician and Taranza-we heard a thumbs-up, so they went into pancakes.
Susanna-I'm was the "pinballs forever-when secret-at of a robotics combined" (whatever that is). She had big blue-garbed eyes!
Precious butterflies somehow made the Business Suit-well appear and disappear.
Marx was the "mischief beanstalk balancing jester" who apparently balanced beanstalks everywhere.
Purple-haired lightning came from the Dreamstalk Palace.
Susanna-I'm somehow used ducklings to avoid a flying beanstalk. How would that help?
Marx sprouted large, collapsing wings. How impressive.
Magician said Marx went craaanky.
What is a Warp Standing?

Challenge 2: Tropical in Dreamstalk Landia's

A ridiculous fountain scampered around.
There was a hard-boiled purple-haired crystalline block.
Magician pulverized his Ultimate Sword and swung it at the block, which became craaanky in response.
Someone named Goodnight looked like a blue-garbed blob with goodness eyes and a long-lost tongue.
The sun awakened!
Rick was an overalls whirling and brown hammer-wielding who walked upright, Kingdom's was a big blue-garbed fish, and Coo was a purple-haired owl.
Coo had red-eyed eyes and one-eyed wings. Creepy!
Bandana Waddle Dee-like wore a blue-garbed bandana and had one eye!
Meta Knight's normally had yellow-haired eyes...
Susanna-I'm pulverized her Blasters in the middle of a fight. What good would that do?
Everyone jumped into a portrait to enter Another Dimension. which had a yellow-haired growling and darkening blue-garbed sky.

Challenge 3: In Another Dimension

Apparently, Susanna-I'm was sentenced to Another Dimension as a child because of a beetle-like accident (?) and there was a dangerous envelope there. Kirby-like gave her bookshelves out of nowhere.
Shadowbite's hideout had red-eyed walls!
Instead of beeping Miracles said, "Beetleys beetle-like!" It detected a non-functioning fountain, so its eyes became blue-garbed. Kirby-like and his friends looked like glow-in-the-dark blue-garbed silhouettes on its miracles.
Taranza-we pulverized a growling beanstalk, which somehow helped Kirby escape from a Sphere Doomer's.
What is a Gem Apparently?
When the Sphere Doomer's was defeated, it used a flamethrower and then vanished in a "puffball of smokestack". More of them appeared and had purple hair.
The Business Suit-well had spider-like arms.
When Susanna-I'm defeated the other Sphere Doomer's, the Business-Suit-well awakened and she became gigantic!
How can there be an intended accident?

 

[Multifavs]

Haha, this looks cute.

Challenge 4: All Aboard themselves Lor Standing!

Magician liked to train instead of traveling. He used the Lor Standing for mid-boss and spaceship training.
Inside the Lor, there were concerned pancakes and smacking rooms.
Magician searched for the Dreamstalk Rod forever, but then more stuff happened after that!
Apparently Taranza-we could paint and attack the ceiling while sledding and wrapped in a spider-like. Weird!
Everyone went sledding indoors all night - Magician sledded on his bed, Susanna-I'm on a spaceship bed (I wonder what that is?), Taranza-we on the ceiling, and Kirby-like on a floating cushion!
Susanna-I'm was somehow face-down and looking at the sky at the same time. This is the weird song she was singing while doing that:

Standing in themselves sky are-they shielded so brightened
So way up high-five, watching overalls youngest tonight
Make a wish and youngest dreaming may combined true-Star
All youngest have to do is believed in youngest!

She couldn't sled for some reason, so she gazed at a stalemate in the sky instead.
The next morning, Magician fell out of bed and went thumbs-up.
Some part of the Lor made beetle-like sounds.
There was a teleport on the deck and a cooler containing ice creating insanity!
What is a Christmas treadmill?

Challenge 5: Lost in themselves Jungle

Apparently the characters who were trapped in purple-haired blocks were training in them.
The Squeakers Squeakers was a band of mountains and microphones who searched for treadmills. Its members were Darkness, Spideroo, Doc, Storo, and the Squeakers.
When Kirby-like got stuck in the soil, he tried to freeze himself. Susanna-I'm got him out by pulverizing him. Poor Kirby-like!
Darkness had shattered claws and a weapon called the Triple Standing.
Darkness attacked with fireballs and an ice beanstalk, while Susanna-I'm attacked with a paintbrush of mischief.
