There is an apartment building in New York called 'Bellum Letale.' Most people ignore its auspicious name, though they would be advised to pay more attention to its meaning.
It is a strange building. It seems to be somehow bigger inside than out, with narrow passageways, intimidating doorways, and lovely corners that disappear and reappear at random. And its occupants are just as strange--from all over the world, from all walks of life, all of their lives have nudged them toward this building as if they were always meant to live there.
This is, of course, because they were. Every man, woman and child in the building is a reincarnated fable, the stories told to human children for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. Once very real, the fables began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. They have all been reborn in human forms, though their essence remains, waiting to be awakened at the right time, in the right place.
Now is the time--Bellum Letale is the place. As their lives connect and weave together, as they follow their petty desires and chase love, they are, all of them, on the brink of disaster. Not just for them, but for the world at large. This world of science is in need of fables once more, even if the fables themselves do not yet know how much.
Bellum Letale--Lethal War. A premade fairy tale and fable community. Now taking holds and applications.
Most wanted (for active lines): The Woodcutter, Sister Swan, Christine Daae, Meg Giry, Tin Man, Scarecrow.

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in a community like this for a long time, but I need a bit of advice.
I have had depression my whole adult life and finally found venlafaxine/effexor which was enormously helpful and really gave me my life back. However, after 7 years, the side effects just got too bad and I gradually came off it in the summer. At first my social anxiety got worse, which I was just about managing. This week though I have felt depression rising in me again. I am doing all the positive thinking stuff and am trying to keep it at bay. I am not sure if I can really manage without medication though.
My biggest problem with venlafaxine was weight gain and extreme sugar cravings. I went from being a very petite 120lbs-ish and have absolutely ballooned in size. I have lost about half a stone since coming off effexor and dont want sugar all the time. What I want to know is, are there anti depressants that DON'T cause weight gain? Effexor has left me really unhealthy and I don't want to take anything that will do further damage to my body. Is it entirely down to the individual and how their body reacts to each drug?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

The Universe. As the name suggested, it was unique in the way that it was the only one. Created long before anything was, it held all of God's creations. Sun and stars lit the sky as clouds of plasma painted the sky better than an artist could. (Read More...)

| + Ad Libitum |
|---|
| The world is dying. Crops have ceased to grow properly and are being choked out by weeds, monsters have been attacking close to major cities and capitals, and many ships have failed to return to port, meaning trade routes between continents have been rendered useless. With these changes, the citizens have become restless. Some have begun blaming the cities' rulers, others have pointed fingers at the church, while a select few are convinced that these occurrences are all a part of Martel's anger at having been trapped inside the Great Tree over a thousand years ago. The members of Ad Libitum have been busy as a result. Ad Libitum is a series of guilds stationed within different cities. Each of the guilds has a leader, and each of the branches has vowed to work together for the good of all. The members of Ad Libitum possess special abilities and are enlisted by the people to do chores in exchange for rewards - members may deliver goods to other cities, vanquish monsters, or gather raw materials. Not just anyone can join Ad Libitum, however. You must earn the trust of your comrades and prove your worth. Bravery is only the first step. |
