Tell me your opinions.
I have pictures of things that look odd and wrong, texts that were seemingly for someone else, ip locations that show me all over the United States. My screen time passcode was changed somehow. My SIM pin was changed after i restarted my phone. People not being able call or get a hold of me for days or weeks at a time. I do not want to point fingers or make accusations without substantial evidence. However, I simply need help and am not even sure if this is the right place or if I even make sense. If I’m wrong then I’m wrong. I WANT to be wrong. I don’t want to imagine someone wanting to make someone feel the way I feel. Thanks for even reading if you’ve made it this far

To briefly explain what will be an extremely lengthy post, alchemy appears to be a major theme in Elden Ring. Many other games and fantasy works borrow from the rich concepts and symbolism of alchemy and the magnum opus (the Great Work), but the influences in Elden Ring are so pervasive that the inhabitants of the world literally have alchemy references coming out of their asses (i.e., the Gold-Tinged Excrement item). There is a lot to examine, so I’ll cover the major points up front.
- The Elden Ring logo can be compared to alchemy-related diagrams of creation/universal connection such as the tree of life, seen in numerous mythologies, and the Ripley Scroll, which illustrate the achievement of the fabled philosophers’ stone.
- The player’s journey from lowly Tarnished to golden lord corresponds to alchemy’s magnum opus, where lead is literally or metaphorically turned to gold.
- The “bloody wolf” identity of the Tarnished mirrors that of alchemy’s “grey wolf” (antimony), a “cooperative metal” capable of purifying gold.
- Elden Ring’s Godrick and his kingdom Limgrave are symbolically linked to the first stage of the magnum opus, nigredo (darkness, decapitation, lion and serpent images).
- Item descriptions point to lore that correlates with other important processes in alchemy, such as dissolution, separation, and the “chemical wedding.”
- The leaked early concept map >!can be seen as a crucible containing the four classical elements and bearing signs of the seven alchemical operations to complete the magnum opus, as shown in Basil Valentine’s Azoth diagram.!<
- Elden Ring’s fingers-and-hands motif can be connected to an alchemical diagram called The Hand of the Philosopher, which itself can be connected to ancient art objects like the Hand of Sabazius and the Egyptian two-finger amulet.
If you are of the opinion that looking too hard for clues ahead of time can spoil your enjoyment later, viewing any of the posted content is not recommended. If you are interested in deep analysis that doesn’t know when to stop, read on. This post will bring in outside resources to compare with publicly available information. No leaks will be discussed or shown, with the exception of the widely circulated early concept art of the full map (which is too interesting to pass up).
Update: I have taken a closer look at Elden Rin

I'm saying "Illuminati" is behind it, & that means they surely use fronts & don't say out loud "we´re the what you know as the Illuminati & you have to participate in a ritual abuse operation". Rather, they would indeed use official groups for the end & claim authority, which they sure have members with authority. It's a complex mess but this is the nature of the psychological/behaviour/social operation that looks a lot like ritual abuse & forces transformation or spiritual forces acting - it surely is a combination of all these, which is why people particpate because it's "fun" to be a part of the "Illuminati" game. F**k you is my message.
Title says it all. My wife and I put in an offer on a house 2 weeks ago, there were 5-6 total offers. Decided to look up the owners on Facebook out of curiosity, and turns out they are mutual friends with my wife's cousin and his husband. We quick texted said cousin and find out they are actually very close! We did not explicitly ask him to put in a good word for us, but I am fairly certain he did.
They initially accepted another offer only because it was like 20k over all others. But per seller agent, they liked us best "by far" and if it fell through we were next. 2 days later it falls through and we are past inspection now! To what extent her cousin helped us is unknown, but it certainly didn't hurt. We only wish we'd have done it sooner! Gotta use every tool in your belt in these crazy markets.
College sweethearts. Married after graduation. After 2 kids, wife announced that she wanted to be a full time SAHM. I had a fledgling business, and money was tight, but we made it work. After 10 years and 3 kids, life was solid. I was working 60+ hours building the business. We got along well, kids were great and I was living the dream.
At this time, wife announced she wanted a boob job. It was just to 'blow the balloons back up'. I thought they were just fine - exactly as nature intended - and made it clear it it was for her, not me. We budgeted for months, and she got it done right before our 11th anniversary.
11th Anniversary Dinner. Wife advised that She Loved Me But Was Not In Love With Me (such a cliché). She wanted a divorce. I was gobsmacked. I thought she was kidding (we liked to prank each other). Nope. Serious like a heart attack.
- I discovered she was having an affair with son's friend's dad. Her best friend was a key enabler.
- I did everything to save the marriage, but called it dead after 6 months of trying.
- 10's of 1000s in legal bills. I got evicted from our house due to false allegations (her greatest shame to this day). Started the process of selling the business to pay her 50% (No fault state. No penalty for Adultery.)
- I had twice monthly weekend visitation. Living in a basement apartment. Had to pay interim child and spousal support that left me financially destitute.
It was Hell. Pure Hell. She turned into a viscous, vindictive person that I didn't even recognize. Then, right before the divorce was finalized, the nightmare was over. She ended it with the 'boyfriend'. Invited me back home, and we started the long (very long) road to reconciliation.
Fast forward to now. 25 years of marriage. Life is OK. Kids are doing great. I kept the business, and the business did well. We moved to a different city. Wife has a new circle of friends. I have no reason not to trust her. The issue: Wife wants a mini-facelift/liposuction that will cost about $25,000. Money is not the issue.
Last plastic surgery gave her self-esteem a steroid boost. However, as it turned out, 1st person to touch her 'new' boobs in a sexual way wasn't me. I'm sure I suffer undiagnosed PTSD. The idea of new plastic surgery is giving me heavy-duty flashbacks.
I said No Way. (Agreed that I control finances, except for monthly spending budget).
Her position is that she's paid her penance through years of individual and couples counselling. She admits her failure
