What’s your most unhinged op ritual?

what’s that one stupid, weird, borderline cursed thing you always do before (or during) an op?

me? I blast nightcore remixes of 2000s pop while painting my nails. it’s focus

one time I popped a shell halfway through doing glitter topcoat and I swear it boosted my root access luck

drop yours. no judgment. unless it’s, like, clowns.

:hot_beverage: I have to drink exactly two mugs of black coffee before I start

if I have three? I spiral. one? not enough power.

two = :sparkles:perfect chaotic neutral energy​:sparkles:

also I wear fingerless gloves. don’t @ me.

lmao ok so i got this playlist called “root access bangers”

it’s like trap, breakcore, doom jazz, and ONE shrek soundtrack song

i don’t even like it. but it WORKS

also i chew on ethernet cables. no idea why. comfort thing i guess?

I light a cheap tealight candle and name it after the target.

Helps me focus. Or maybe it’s just dramatic. Either way, no root until the wax pools.

(Yes, I know that’s weird. No, I’m not changing.)

not gonna lie I put on my hoodie backwards so it covers my face while I type

like yeah i’m in my little hacker cocoon :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::butterfly:

one time my mom walked in and thought I was summoning a demon :skull::skull::skull:

I do all my initial scans while baking sourdough.

If I get a foothold before it’s done rising, I treat myself to a new kitchen gadget.

If I fail, no carbs for a week.

It’s called balance.
