I am learning things about migraines! Because they are a thing I suffer from, and I didn't even know I got them regularly for years until I suddenly realised that oh shit, that's what the pain in the back of my head is.

Anyway, I started tracking them last summer, and I tend to get them in clusters, particularly when stressed. I just had my most recent cluster at the end of February. My mood totally crashed, and I didn't want to eat, and then I had a horrible migraine a week ago. (Then I had two more that were less severe, but still unpleasant).

And it turns out the migraines are probably the source of the mood crash and the not wanting to eat!

\o/

I want to talk to a pharmacist about possibly getting some preventative medication (rather than painkillers, because I'd rather not be taking an opiate derivative, thanks). I haven't managed to do that, anyway, and I don't even know if anything is available to do that sort of thing.

HOLY MOLY CRITICAL ROLE-Y.

(sorry)

I just finished up episode 25 and oh jeez. Between the cliffhanger of the Briarwoods attacking Vax at the end of 24, and the entire first half of 25 and then OMG IDK PERCY, I just.

Blue screen of death, a little, I think.

That fight with the Briarwoods is so tense. Like. I got drawn in with the fight with K'varn, way back when (that feels like so long ago), because I dunno, boss fights, man? And I got drawn into this as well, especially when it becomes clear that Delilah can almost one-shot everyone in Vox Machina, and that Sylas can just shrug off stuff that usually works versus other enemies.

I kind of want to see their character sheets (though tbf, I want to see everyone's character sheets. I like that sort of thing).

Also HOLY SHIT PERCY.

I kind of wasn't expecting the way Taliesin plays him to be so brutal, but it totally makes sense. (The Briarwoods butchered Percy's family; of course it makes sense).

So far, three of the nine of them have made me cry: Marisha, Matt, and Liam. Which is lovely of them, of course.

I was actually going to play some Tactics Advance today but whoops I watched all of ep 25 instead (also my brother and nephew came to visit, so obviously I couldn't play vidya while they were here). Also also D&D combat/tactics games combat makes WAY more sense to me now after having experienced both things? I was tracking the second fight in today's episode like it was a fight in a tactics game and found it interesting.
