CLEAR THE AIR FOR NEW YEAR

[seasonsmods]

Hello, everyone~! ⭐

I'm Starlight ✨, here with a public forum post to end the new year with! It's called a confession booth!

Basically, this is your chance to confess something you have been holding back to start the new year off with a clean(er) record!

Oh, and every comment will be automatically anon when posted, so no need to play with settings or anything.

And of course, have a wonderful new years, everyone 💫 I hope to see you more come next year.


Oooh and one more thing. Please don't make any lewd comments on here, okay? If you need to get flirty with your anon buddies, you can make your own post. Much love~ 💕




OOC: This is a mini-minun fun event to end the new years with! Starlight herself won't make any comments or reply to anything. This comment is a free for all, threadjacking is probably a given, please mark if you'd rather avoid getting threadjacked!

Please also keep everything SFW, as this post won't be locked. You can make a secondary post of anon flirting and sexting if that's something you wanna do! A NSFW version has been posted.

Of course any potential triggering confessions should be warned about in the header.

Anon isn't OOCly on, but ICly it's always on. You'd have to hack the settings to be posting with your username.

hmmmmmmm
i dunno if i'd say i've grown as a person
it's more like i've changed a little
instead of stepping up
i've gone and stepped to the left.
i'm still me
i'm just a me that wants to kill less people than usual.
(don't think about that too hard.
i made a promise i wouldn't.)

Were you the one making those decisions?

[It's an important distinction, in Galliard's mind. Who gave the orders? It's much easier to deflect blame when you were ordered by someone else, and while he likes to think he'd have fought against cruel or inhumane orders, Galliard knows the truth: he was always a good Warrior who followed orders, even when he privately thought they were bullshit.]

If I was going to get an apology from someone who hurt me, the worst thing they could do is try to explain themselves. It's not about them being actually sorry then, it's about them trying to feel better about themselves. If they were really sorry, they'd let me yell at them, maybe punch them in the face a few times. You know, get it all out.

Then we could talk about it later, I guess.

[Galliard is again picturing how things went with Reiner and Marco, and imagining a similar conversation between himself and Zeke. He'd need to land at least a dozen good punches on Zeke's stupid monkey face before he'd be willing to listen to a word he had to say. Even then, it would end in more punching.]

Nen only knows one person in all of Ellipsa who types like this!!

[essenceborn]

I do not think you are too soft. You are very strong! And big.
You are just the right amount of "soft" to me. Mwah.

[happydreamed]

[It's the "'tis", isn't it, that always gives him away.]

You would think we would know better by now.

[locations]

yea
ppl always do dumb shit on these things

[bratherine]

( Oh, this place is gonna try her patience in so many ways, isn't it? )

avoid all closets
got it

( Ma'am that is not what you're supposed to take from that. )

[bratherine]

( in that case... )

why tell people at all then

[bratherine]

true
how long have they been stringing you along

( Like, how long do they intend on making this seem all happy happy you get magic just do us a small favour hun xoxo before the other shoe drops. )

[bratherine]

that what you're doing
or is this a "do as i say not as i do" thing?

[dreamsofwings]

Sometimes. But don't misunderstand, I wasn't giving orders or anything. I hate giving orders to people. I'd rather they make their own decisions.

[ That's all true, but in many cases, he left people with no real choices. Or only with shitty and shittier. He's aware of that and stubbornly refuses to see it another way.

He reads Galliard's words about apologies. He hasn't really thought about it like that. All he said to Armin was I'm sorry I went away for so long, which was true. Any explanation he had was already given, in a conversation he remembers in a vague sense, that neither of them have lived through but both of them have seen from the outside. Phew.

Is that what it means, though? Just say you're sorry and deal with the consequences? Hmmmm. Makes sense, but it requires him to be sorry and he's still not sure he is.

This conversation isn't just about forgiveness, though, not at heart. Can he really be a better person if he doesn't want it? Galliard says no. Levi just tells him to be as good as he can here and now; that's the opportunity Levi and Hange both gave him, an attempt not to hold the future against him because he tried to walk away from it.

What a mess for everyone, Eren included. ]

I see. I can take a few punches if that's what someone needs.

[ He has before and will again. ]

Thanks for the advice.

[ That might come across as flippant or sarcastic in text because tone in text is hard, but he wouldn't bother saying it if he didn't mean it.

He realises there IS something he should apologise for that he IS sorry about. He'll have to sit on that too, not wanting to run off to talk about it and give this whole conversation away. ]

[sapphireknight]

I expected to find some people who would understand.

lkjfgklj LIKEWISE, GOOBER

[nugrass]

as much as i love you
and i love that you think that
i'm pretty sure you'd say that
no matter how "too soft" i am.

[sapphireknight]

I think that they already know me inside and out.

It's part of what makes this so difficult. No one has ever known me so thoroughly before.

SOULMATES

[essenceborn]

Yes. I would.
I like that you are soft in feelings.

[ #BEINGGROSSLYINLOVE ]

[nugrass]

okay sure but
i wish you were the only one i was THIS soft to.
i gotta keep a little hardness
if i wanna show my face back home ever again

[abnormalizes]

If I told you how bad it was, I'd give myself away to the people who know me. So let's just say seriously wrong is an understatement.

[cerasister]

I would like to believe that as well. But even if that is the case, I cannot stop blaming myself. I'm uncertain I will ever be able to.

[ girl get some therapy? ]

[hometown]

Agreed. I'll try to find something that works for both of our sakes.

Stay safe out there, all right?

[noodleboi]

The ice cream is totally valid. I'd do the same.

I hope it all works out too. You seem chill and nice. I hope they know that too.

[bravestknight]

That's the spirit.

[disasdeer]

Not as bad as someone might think. Definitely wasn't a popular choice, though.

[disasdeer]

Because their reactions can be pretty fun.

[disasdeer]

I don't fear it at all. Arguably, I've been asking for it in the past.

[disasdeer]

I told a friend he could, so he did. And it helped him.

[disasdeer]

I assume you're literate.

Right?
