Citing the need for additional research as a reason to veto the gender education bill is particularly worrisome -- if you're trans you know exactly what that means when someone says that.

Honestly, and I say this as a fan, coming from a place of love, I think it would do her (mental and physical wellbeing), her public image, and her music some good for her to just kind of disappear for a bit and wait a few more years before she releases anything like she did between 1989 and Reputation. I'm absolutely certain that a lot of the negative reception towards this album is coming from a place of Swift fatigue, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's getting tired too. Stay out of the limelight as much as the most famous person on planet earth possibly can, enjoy life with Travis and come back in 2028 with something new and different.And also stay off social media, because several songs on the album are clearly just her being mad about Twitter drama --- "You're childish.

If so, any hints on where it is?Shellwood, look for a room with a "house" you can enter and an NPC inside, then do her quest line. It's multiple parts and you might have done the first part already.

I can guess that it requires you to get captured by the bugs with the cages but that's all I know.That's correct and it's a short stealth-ish sequence without your equipment.

I just know that after getting the bad/default ending I looked some stuff up and the damage boost from getting a few nail upgrades felt absurd lol. I also barely used spells. And I skipped City of Tears as long as possible so I didn't get the dream nail until after doing practically everything possible without it.
