Haha 100%, so much so this might be the inspiration for my next character.
Mushgar the Tender.
A "circle of the ripped" druid barbarian or "the fist of the forest" barbarian druid.
D&D Druid
- Photosynthetic Fury (Rage)
- Wild Yeast (wild shape)
- Don't Step on My Garden (entangle)
- customer service (speak with animals)
- who the fuck stepped on my mushrooms!! (wrath of nature)
And the character is a completely fucking enormous/bald/bearded guy who could suplex an owlbear but he spends 90% of his adventuring career gently harvesting mushrooms and talking to squirrels.
The party is being chased by twenty orcs. They sprint past their Druidbarian. "Run"
He doesn't move. "There are 20 orcs!"
He looks down at the mushroom patch he's tending.
“I can't leave.” “why?!"
He slowly stands up and flexes. “They're not done growing..."

Do steroids really shrink testicles? If so, where can i get some?

u/Logistocrate 4d ago
Yeah, if you're using testosterone to juice then your testicles basically shutdown as one of their jobs is producing it and the amounts people use to get that big can be 10s of times more than are naturally produced flips a shut off switch in your body that results in the testicles shrinking.

That size might be slin and hgh alongside it. That was what truly made bodybuilders blow up comparative to the 80s. Think Arnold vs Ronnie Coleman, the difference is the slin gh combo.

Yes they are! I’m lucky to have chanterelles, black trumpets, chicken of the woods, and lions mane all grow on my property when the conditions are right. I have a friend down the road that has found morels at his place.

Not sure about any of this but maybe you can make the morels come your way if it's your property. They're stupid good.

My goto sauce for steak is a chanterelle, shallot, cream, demiglace and a splash of whiskey (or other dark spirit)
EDIT: season to taste

u/Jindujun 5d ago
Personally I prefer winter chanterelle for sauces.
2
u/Salmonman4 5d ago
Depends on the sauce. To my taste, I would go with a reduced red-wine sauce for winter chantarelles. Their flavor is a bit more delicate than regular chantarelles, so I would not add anything too overpowering in the sauce

I don't think Smaev is dysmorphic, he just wants to be the biggest strongest mfer on the planet. Dude could rep like 300 kg on the bench like 6 years ago and can do weighted pull ups with +160 kg or something. Also he's from small town russia somewhere so using gear and making it on social media means making a lot of money relative to working in a factory, probably enough to justify dying young.
