@ nice toy (locked to the non au'd folks)

[fursuit]

so you've all noticed that about half of us are totally fucked in the head right

best I can tell they think they've always lived here? in this world I mean. kinda hard to ask too much more than that without looking like you're the one that's insane but man

apparently they've also got backstories for all of us??? so how the fuck am I supposed to know that shit???

anyways. wanted to toss this out there for discussing and strategizing how to deal with this fuckin mess. I figure once we kill this kaiju they'll all go back to normal but

I dunno. be gentle with them. I know that's ironic coming from me but whatever

lemme know if there's anyone I missed to add to this filter.

(( ooc ; this is a discussion post about the people with au'd memories for those who do not have those memories! ending up on this filter is an icly handwaved process, so feel free to jump in if this applies to your character. threadjacking is very much open and welcome!

there's also a sister post for the au'd characters here, so if you're looking for that, go for it! ))

that seems to be the theme of this shit so far as I can tell

it's gonna be shitty once they wake up

[cranekin]

Well, as long as they're alive, they can't rest forever.

[fursuit]

sure

but still won't be easy yknow?

like if you got this pretty nice life like denji said, then how do you feel when you snap back and realize your life actually sucks?

they have no choice to carry on sure but still won't be happy

[cranekin]

And it'll never be easy.
To live is to suffer and to suffer eightfold.

( Don't ask him how he's dealing. )

Nothing is clear-cut. There are no black and white sides.
There will always be black in the white and white in the black.
Wanting our friends to be happy isn't wrong at all but neither is wanting to wake them from their dreams.
If we think too much about it, we'll just waste our time and cause our hearts grief.

I'm a sword.
If I protect one thing, I'll cut something else.
So if I have to protect our allies, I'll cut what I need to.
And if someone gets hurt... my bad.

( That's it. Just. "My bad." )

[nutkick]

i didn't even think about how they'll feel when it's over.

this sucks.
i wouldn't know how to comfort any of them ...

[fursuit]

yeah. it's after that I'm more worried about. they seem to be okay for now. better than okay, in some cases

but I'm also not the comforting type either

[nutkick]

... it's bad, isn't it?

[ their lack of emotional intellgence ........ ]

maybe we should work on that.

[fursuit]

haha

maybe but I’ll leave that to the rest of ya

that’s not my style. I’m a tough love kinda god

[nutkick]

there is no such thing as 'tough love'.
a lie produced by the government.

love is soft and beautiful!

denji this is so moe wtf

[fursuit]

[ but unfortunately. he's talking to tezca. ]

...huh??? the government?

[ rejecting tough love, sure, but his idea of why is... ]

it's about to get moe-er

[nutkick]

yes, the government!

[ he won't explain further because, wow, it's soooo clear. please don't take him seriously ..... ]

when you're in love, all you can see are stars and your chest feels fluffy, and sometimes it feels like your heart might combust into tiny bloody pieces, but don't worry, it won't. and then, all you wanna do is buy flowers and give them kisses.

how can something like this be 'tough'?

not here

[queenofkur]

[ Sniff. She's so proud of Denji right now! ]

omfg 🥹

[fursuit]

...ok. yeah. ain't anything like that. that's for damn sure

tough love is like wanting someone to be better? caring for someone but also knowing they need a push to get them somewhere better

that kinda thing

cute description though. a+

time to ruin this by asking the fun questions sjdf;

[nutkick]

you can do that while loving them the right way, you know?

[ ... cute description. hmm. why is this guy acting like he just shared something foreign with him? ]

so ...
you never felt this way before?

[fursuit]

nope!

but I'm an almighty god (most of the time)

my feelings don't always match up with the way humans experience them. especially intense stuff like love or loss. just hits different when you're working on my scales of experiencing the universe

[followyourstar]

It will. But they'll make it through.

That's what we're here for, right?

[fursuit]

yeah basically

course I feel like I'm going to be a punching bag personally

[followyourstar]

For making them remember?

[fursuit]

well kinda but that's not the point

more that daybit and silco will just be pissed that it happened in the first place and that I didn't just fix it right away even though I can't

not saying it's rational

actually they might kill each other first but I won't let that happen either

[followyourstar]

Well, Silco getting into a kerfuffle with someone isn't anything new...

I know it's gonna cause trouble for you, but I think it'd be a bit of a relief to see that. At least then we'd know that everything turned out all right.

@goddess of death

[queenofkur]

Silco, I understand.
There is no expecting reason from him.

But I refuse to believe Daybit won't understand.
He's intelligent and rational.
And he already knows you're not an omnipotent god.
Especially in this world.

[fursuit]

hahaha

it’s a good vote of confidence for him but nah he has his bratty and unreasonable side too

9 times out of 10 you’d be right but I’m sure this is gonna be something that uniquely pisses him off

[queenofkur]

Well I'd be rightly annoyed if I was forced to be friend with Silco.
Even the rift corruption couldn't do that...
But I guess perhaps Daybit is more emotional than I thought.

[fursuit]

right??? the way they're getting along pisses me off more than anything!! they just shot each other like cmon

they're gonna be so fuckin pissed when they're better

...so. yeah. guess you can stay tuned and just see that when it happens. he ain't a robot or anything it's just rare for him to get actually worked up over something

[queenofkur]

They did?
I knew Daybit wouldn't like Silco but that's quite extreme...
Even I only ever electrocuted the man for his impudence.

[ ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Look, lightning isn't like bullets! It's totally safe when used with moderation. She sees absolutely nothing wrong with a small electric shock every now and then. Maybe it's the sadistic aspect of hers peeking through, the one her vessel has mostly suppressed so far. ]

Maybe the trial we spoke of is coming.
If so, please do not waste your chance at changing.
