[text] @goddess of death

[queenofkur]

Greetings everyone. I am contacting you on behalf of Nicholas D. Wolfwood (user name: punisher).

He recently made a post offering his services as a priest to those who wish to confess their sins. While admirable, the payment he asks in return for such a service is unacceptable. Normally he should be chastised for such behavior, however the money he hopes to earn through his service is to be used for a noble cause: helping the orphaned children of this world. I believe this cause to be an important one and he deserves to be commended for having decided to take it on!

Unfortunately, he lacks the confidence to ask for donations, hence his resorting to selling what should be a sacred service for money. He is convinced nobody will help him, as people typically never give anything away without the expectation of getting something back.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could reassure him that the people in this world are generous. While nothing is prepared yet to receive donations, I am sure he will feel heartened to see the kindness and benevolence we are all capable of. I will personally donate some of my own money when the time comes.

Thank you for your time.

— Ereshkigal, Goddess of Death and Queen of Kûr

I'm sorry to hear that. Text doesn't work well for tone, but I'm telling the truth when I say it.

[Team shitty parents, excellent.]

I'll do what I can on that side, even if it's only finding out they do or don't. Thank you, too, for making the post. I'm ashamed to say I hadn't thought of it among all the other things expected of us and I should have. The topic is important and you're right to have brought it to everyone's attention with him.

I have experienced before the difficulties to convey tone and emotions through text.
I typically use what is called "kaomoji" to try and convey my feelings.
But it appears to cast discredit upon my identity so I have been avoiding it in public posts.

[ You wouldn't believe how people suddenly don't believe you're the goddess of death when you add (* ^ ω ^) or (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ at the end of every other sentence. ]

The thanks should be given to @ punisher. I also had not thought of it.
Or more accurately, I did think about it but had neither the time nor energy to work on it.
It is thanks to him things may start progressing for those children.

[heir_conditioned]

Kaomoji? Could you show me some practical examples? I'd like to see them.

[And yet, here they are, Shoto asking. Because Shoto absolutely won't harass Bakugo with the new information to "help him" with it.]

You're due it, too. I'll give him credit to the idea and credit to his consideration.

[queenofkur]

Well here that would indicate I am happy (⌒‿⌒)
Whereas this one would indicate confusion 「(°ヘ°)ゞ
I find these really handy, but many people disagree (*μ_μ)

[ Only in her inbox do they still thrive... At least until someone encourages her to use them again. ]

[heir_conditioned]

[Shoto has seen happyfaces and emojis but these do seem much more expressive and he loves that.]

I see.

[To which he corrects.]

I mean, I see (⌒‿⌒). I like these. They cover much more in a conversation than just :) or :(. Where did you learn them? I'd like to learn, too.

[queenofkur]

I saw them on a message while looking for flowers.
It intrigued me and I was able to find a complete sheet with every kaomoji in existence!

[ Wait, she just realizes he used the one she posted...! ]

You
You are going to use them?
You don't find them weird?

[heir_conditioned]

[He sure did, and if people don't correct him, there'll be more in the future the more he finds. So, learnin gfom the three he has understanding of he replies in a timely manner.]

Yes, I'd like to use them. I don't find them weird. I don't see why people wouldn't use them 「(°ヘ°)ゞ. I've been accused of sounding robotic when I text [And speak. And anything-ing.] and since I'm not a robot, this allows me a new way to communicate what the overarching emotion I'm trying to convey is (⌒‿⌒). It seems simpler.

[queenofkur]

That's great (* ^ ω ^)
I didn't think you were sounding robotic at all!
I guess whether we use these kaomojis or not, some people will be displeased (╥_╥)

I'll try using them more since I'm not alone then.
I thank you (⌒▽⌒)☆

[heir_conditioned]

[And now he has three more. The world is no longer safe.]

I've been working on it, it's good that the effort is paying off.
I think you should, if someone doesn't like it and you want to continue speaking with them, adjust at that time. If not, then even better. Seeing them in use, I don't see the problem.

Be yourself, you seem like a kind person (⌒‿⌒).

[queenofkur]

Thank you.
This means a lot to me \(^ヮ^)/

Most people think gods of death are horrible (T_T)
Because they are so terrified of death, they deem us evil.
But sometimes, even evil is needed.
A world without death would be a neverending nightmare (＞﹏＜)

Anyway I'll try sending you my collection of kaomoji ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

[heir_conditioned]

[That is a lot to take in for his tiny brain, so, he starts with the polite parts of it.]

Thank you. I'd really like to see them (⌒▽⌒)☆. I think they will help me when I feel like I need to express something text won't.

I've seen things and heard things that I didn't think were possible. LILITH is manipulating my actual DNA. So I'm sorry, I have to ask if you're sincere or if you're joking about being an actual god of death before I say anything I'd like to.

[queenofkur]

I am sincere.
In my world, I hold authority over death and the underworld.
Mine is the sacred duty to watch over the dead.

In this world however, I am a simple person like everyone else.
