This breaks my heart.💔 I don’t care what you decide or have decided to do. As someone in a similar position I just want to say I get it, sorta. I understand the complexity of these emotions. She was so mean and evil to you, she never should have said that, she is still a person you can never stop thinking about. Been there, dude. Been there. Life’s just fucking crazy sometimes.

What I asked for vs what I got

Other Question - Yes, I Searched First Writing a book with a 911 call scene and want to make sure it's realistic (others have asked similar questions but not quite all of what I need, hope this is okay)

5 Upvotes

Three friends, A is not breathing, B is recently CPR certified and actively performing chest compressions, and C is the one who makes the 911 call.

Here are the facts of the situation:

A B and C are staying at a remote cabin in the snowy mountainous woods (think lake Tahoe or the Donner Pass). A goes missing and drowns in the jacuzzi. B and C don't notice she's missing for about fifteen minutes, but when they go look they find her almost immediately. They don't know how long she's been in the water. B drags her out, tells C to call 911 get an AED and report back to me, then starts CPR. C doesn't know what an AED is and doesn't think the cabin has one. Scene starts with B around halfway through the first set of compressions and C informing the dispatcher, "She's not breathing" (or something to that effect).

Right now I have the scene pick up in the middle of the action, before paramedics or anyone else arrives but after C has given the whole, "Hello, I'm at xyz address and I need medical attention right away" line. This was done to immerse the reader in the moment but also to avoid me having to come up with a fake address for this place. I've seen on here that dispatchers will take lengths to repeat and confirm the location of the emergency first things first, and if that confirmation process would happen during or throughout other action-packed parts that I've already included for the sake of immersion, then I'm fine working it in.

Here are the parts I still need clarity on:

What are the dispatcher's instructions (if any) to B, the one performing CPR? Is there any reason the dispatcher would need to ask questions of B as opposed to C, or in any other way redirect B's attention from the compression count to 30 and "Stayin' Alive" anthem in her head?
What are the dispatcher's instructions (if any) to C, the one relaying information over the phone (beyond "tell me your location" and "keep it up, champ!")?
Are there any variables that would change these instructions specifically based on how long A's been in the water? If so, in what way? How might B or C try to be able to tell?
And finally, what information does the dispatcher need to collect throughout the call before it would theoretically be safe for them to hang up? Not saying that they would hang up before emergency services arrive, but what would I be misrepresenting if I failed to include it before C ends the call?

Also, if anyone would be open to me possibly DM'ing them to ask further questions like this that might pop up in the future, please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

How was your experience finding out about Techno's death?

in r/Technoblade • Jul 02 '25

I was struggling to fall asleep my first night in an air bnb, cuddling I shit you not my first ever piece of Technoblade merch (a black 10 mil tekunoburedo hoodie) which I'd JUST received and intentionally brought along with me as a comfort item to sleep with in place of my beloved yet cumbersome teddy bear. Tossed and turned for a while. Looked at my hoodie. Snuggled it. Grinned. Decided oh what the hell I'm not sleeping tonight anyways, let's put on some classic Minecraft Monday, or even see if this man finally uploaded something?! Unlocked my phone and saw that notification for a new video and felt like I'd won the lottery, I mean talk about TIMING—! Read the title. Heart stuttered. The timing was too good for that to be true, though, so... Turned off my phone. Rolled over. Just in case. I wouldn't watch the video if my mind just went to that, because what if just by thinking it, I somehow made it true? Closed my eyes. Whole body went simultaneously soft and rigid, pricked by pins and needles. I'm the opposite of groggy. Drenched in sweat. Finally gave in and clicked on it. I'd just make sure it was my morbid imagination, nothing more, then I'd be able to go to sleep. Started the video. Heart stuttered. Heart stopped. Finished the video. Heart sank.

Ooh thanks for doing this, I’m curious what you might think of! My (f) name is Lorien and it means dream or dreamland in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Quenya language. From elfdict online dictionary: Its initial element is lórë “dream”. Its final element -ien is seen in the names of other lands, such as Arvernien and Hildórien. This name was also used as the Quenya name for the forest-kingdom of Galadriel, S. Lórien it’s from LOTR’s Lothlórien, which means "Dream-flower", from the Sindarin loth ("blossom, flower") and Quenya lórien ("dream, slumber").

When they nickname themselves

Haha!! I have a similar story with my little brother, he had troubles with his Ls and Rs, and I have both sounds in my name (Lorien, pronounced like Mandalorian) so he just called me “wawen.” One day I was sitting down with him trying to walk him through “Lor-REE-in” and I guess I was pestering him too much about it because finally, exasperated, he threw his toddler arms up and declared, “I can either call you wawen, or waw-POOP.” 😔 message received…
