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.

two people? sounds like you're in a bigger pickle than i, buddy. and you're definitely not my guy, either.

[ at least this much he can say for sure! ... probably! they did agree to tell each other if they found anyone else... ]

anyway, for me it's been a couple of months, but all these winter festivities and stuff just really drove it home for real. was it something like that for you?

[divino]

It was! I tried going back to normal after or shrugging it off,
but I couldn't.
Sounds like we both need to just be blunt about it.
Then we can know for sure if they feel the same.

[sheezit]

sounds like you don't wanna shrug it off. but hey, if you like them, you like them, right?
i guess our problem is similar, but not really the same. even if i could just ask my guy, i don't think he would know *how* to figure out his own feelings, weird as that sounds.
and you have two whole people to confront, and *then* figure out where the three of you stand. like, what are you gonna do if one of them isn't okay with it? or both, for that matter?

[divino]

I didn't even think of that...my situation is way worse than I thought!!

And did you try kissing your guy? Wouldn't that make it obvious? Especially if he wants to keep kissing you back?
Or is that too forward?
I don't know how courtship works too well, which is why I'm in this tough spot to begin with.

[sheezit]

oh, uh--

[ oh. oh no. Alear... is too pure........... guess it falls upon the slither to corrupt the fell dragon!! ]

we've kissed before. gone the whole nine years, actually. [ this is the family-friendly version, alear, don't make him say it! ] you'd THINK that would make it obvious, but no, THIS is what i mean when i say the guy is WEIRD and OBTUSE.

[ deep breaths, shez, easy now... we good? we good. ]

so, when you think about it, your situation doesn't sound that much worse, see? just a different kind of bad. honestly, if it's just figuring out how courtship works, i could help you.

[divino]

The whole nine what?
Do you mean bed activities?

[ He knows how dragon babies are made, so he's not entirely naive. ]

And he still doesn't know?!
Here I thought I was pretty obtuse, but I don't think I could go that far
with someone and have them NOT know I liked them at least a little.

[sheezit]

[ Bed activities... aren't always carried out in bed, but yes, sure, let's go with that! ]

yeah, i know! thing is, he's clearly a late bloomer and he'd never gotten around to just experimenting with friends and stuff, so that's how this whole deal started and just. hasn't stopped since.

to make it worse, it's not like he hasn't told me he likes me. it's more like he doesn't realize the kind of stuff he says means exactly that, so even the most painfully straightforward approach doesn't really work with him!

[divino]

I think if you say it enough times,
it has to penetrate eventually, right?
I don't know what else I'd do in your shoes.
Maybe try using the word "love" when you next confess and see if that helps?

[sheezit]

[ DGJASDJKSD WHY DO Y'ALL FEMBLEM PROTAGS HAVE NO CHILL........ ]

i think it might be a bit too soon for that?? and he might think it's platonic anyway, or maybe freak out harder??

[ Hell, Shez is freaking out a bit right now. Is he in love? Now there's something else for him to consider... ]

idk. are you planning to throw that word around with *your* guys?

[divino]

[ Marriage happens in four conversations or less or your money back guaranteed. ]

Not quite yet!
I mean, not unless they're open to it, but that might scare them away.
I just wasn't sure how else to make your own guy realize it unless it was
strongly worded.
Does he know about dating in general? I didn't know a whole lot about it either until recently.
recently.

[sheezit]

[ No no, y'all need to be more like Shez: shower people with ambiguous-sounding but fully earnest words of love, give'em an old Merc Whistle and then leave! ]

oh yeah, he definitely does-- the theory of it, anyway. he's a huge fan of [ raunchy bodice rippers ] romance novels, and he says they help him understand relationships better. that's sort of how our whole deal started, 'cause he wanted some actual practice.

[ Is this maybe revealing too much? Sure, but at this point, he thinks Byleth is so oblivious he wouldn't get it even if he did read this one specific anonymous comment. In fact: ]

honestly, even if i did call it like that, i'm almost afraid he'd take it to mean the platonic sort of love-- which wouldn't be wrong, but not what i'm trying to convey.

[divino]

Maybe you have to include a note that it's definitely not platonic.
Like say: "Hi, I like you in a definitely not platonic way. In a romantic and
intimate way.
In the way the lovers from your romance novels mean it."

If he still doesn't get it, then maybe there really is no helping him.

[ Even Alear is not that dense somehow... ]

[sheezit]

[ Maybe it's the Fell Dragon in Alear. Maybe Divine Dragons are more oblivious... ]

yeeah, i think even he could get it if i were to be THAT straightforward about it. but wouldn't it be kinda lame, too?
like, it's solid advice and i know i'm not the type for romance or anything, but i'd still hope not to ruin the mood entirely, you know?

[divino]

Not necessarily.
Your guy might really enjoy the direct and blunt approach if all else has failed.
It couldn't hurt, and if you do succeed, then you'll become lovers and maybe even married one day.

That's even more romantic!
