Welcome to the Dark

This post from Derpinator’s journal is something that I deeply relate to in basically every way, wow. Something for me to reflect on.

It ties into the dream that I had a few posts up. Really interesting to see that Emperor is taking me down this path.

This has been by far the most inconsistent cycle that I’ve ever had. Switched AM out for Emperor after one week and now, I feel like I want to switch out Emperor for Emperor HOM after hearing so much good stuff about it. I have enjoyed the productivity boost from Emperor which has been significant, but I don’t like the way I’ve felt in my social interactions with others. @Vesper recommended that I try HOM as it’s the best of both worlds when it comes to Emperor and Stark which seems exactly like what I want, to be honest.

The only thing that’s holding me back is the lack of physical shifting.

What about trying Emperor in a custom with PCC then add some social and status modules, or even go HoM with AM… then have a 3rd zp title as spartan or wanted

I’m actually doing a custom with hom, just waiting to get it. It’s basically hom + status + ultimate intelligence:)

I don’t feel comfortable building an ‘archetype’ custom subliminal because of my lack of experience in those subliminals. The only ones that I feel like I could confidently say that I know and understand are AM, Wanted and Stark, so to make the most educated decision possible I need more knowledge to draw from.

Why build a custom with Emperor and PCC when my experience running those subs amounts to less than 2 weeks? If I’m going to build a custom, it is going to be for a long-term commitment. Also running an Emperor/PCC custom with HoM or AM, and Spartan or Wanted would not adhere to the ERB approach to subliminals.

Thank you for your input nonetheless.

It’s often the case that the moment when you start to get too confident/arrogant in your abilities is when the universe quickly reveals to you that more work needs to be done. Got that reality check today after feeling myself too much yesterday.

Shame on me, too quick to pat myself on my back on the basis of perception, which is always temporary.

More work required. Shame.

Out of Stark, Emperor and Ascended Mogul, Emperor easily has the best physical shifting.

I’m really surprised at how similar my experiences on Emperor and WANTED have been.

Physical shifting in terms of what?

Speed of visible results were much quicker and more apparent with Emperor compared to Stark and AM.

The physical shifting I’ve seen it effect so far is entirely upper body, and specifically with shoulders, pecs and jaw.

What about aesthetics?

Very masculine aesthetic IMO. Like I said, sharper jaw + larger shoulders + more apparent pecs should give a good idea on what the aesthetic looks like.

Seems like Emperor can be even better than wanted regarding physical changes.

I meant like harmonious body like ration and everything
And looks like it is

What makes you say that?

Just my impression of what he has said.

My experience of Emperor has been very similar to my experience of WANTED, not just with physical shifting but with reactions from women. It’s a very impressive sub.

With women?
Honestly?
But it should not sth new, the new description.

But you haven’t been using them both at the same time, right?

Haven’t touched Wanted in 5 months.

Extremely frustrated with myself, and how shit I’ve been at the gym lately. It’s just not clicking the way it was before, and it’s driving me crazy. Spartan gave me more of a drive sure, but not enough for me to feel it worthy of a spot in my stack.

Thinking about trying EF ST2, just to see what that can do for me. If that doesn’t work out, I really feel like it’s time to get the Muay Thai Mastery custom going.
