[Shoryu Magami]

*looks over what his thread has become* I spent roughly five minutes getting ice cream, and now this...? xD

@Pudding
Even if I was part of the faction (I'm not), it's not in my nature to be under the "reign" of anyone but myself.

@NekoMizu
"FACTion"? Heh.

On the subject of that meme you just sent, however... Are you familiar with the phrase "once seen, it can never be unseen"? I believe whoever coined that term must have had this exact image in mind when they spoke those words.

@Gowi
You've actually managed to find a gif that represents how I usually respond to puns.

[NekoMizu]

@Pudding
I feel like they broke their necks.

@Shoryu Magami
No I've never heard of that particular quote.

[Pudding]

@NekoMizu
They just need cheesus

[NekoMizu]

@Pudding
What if they're lactolyse intolerant?

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu
It refers to an image that's so horrifying that one wishes with every fibre of their being to remove it from the psyche but it will forever be stuck within their minds; I hope you realize how many children who find this thread are going to have nightmares because of what you've done. xD

[NekoMizu]

@Shoryu Magami
True, I must repent to the lactolyse god, Cheesus. I must also pray that one day, everyone will know of his cheesiness.

[Pudding]

Ah, the sweet divinity of a whole dairy blessing from our lord lactose

[NekoMizu]

@Pudding
Lactolyse*

[Shoryu Magami]

@NekoMizu@Pudding
I immediately regret (not really... maybe) even mentioning the meme thing because of you two. xD

[Pudding]

@NekoMizu
Forgive me for I have sinned, oh holy mozzarella.

[NekoMizu]

@Pudding
Oh you're a follower of Mozzarella? Well no wonder you messed up, Cheddar is obviously the best lactolyse god.

@Shoryu Magami
You're welcome for this mate :^)

[Shoryu Magami]

I'm sort of getting into one of my "moods" again, just so you're all aware. We'll see where it goes.

@Gowi
Still planning on getting around to finishing the reply when I can.

@tsukune
Since things slowed down here, I reckon now's the best time to let you know too; I'll be going over your PM shortly as well. I believe I'm technically overdue responding to the last one by a few days now; I'm sure you don't mind though given your own situation.

@HaleyTheRandom
Heh, regardless of whether I actually am those things or not, it's refreshing to know you don't think I am. My own perspective about words like "preachy" and "self-righteous" is that they're entirely subjective terms; so I am those things to some people and I'm not to others. It's impossible for me to have a personal opinion regarding myself on those things because the words I "preach" are what I believe. I openly admit to the long-windedness, thanks to me having legitimately floods of thoughts going on through my mind at all times that I'm literally unable to put a lid on. Honestly, even when my posts are huge I'm only giving a fraction of what's going on in this screwed up head of mine.

You're probably right about me needing to cut myself some slack a bit; sometimes I feel like I'll die long before I finish my work just because of what stress does to my body. I guess I just don't know how to switch off for a little while. Good to know that my advice is better as a result of the way my mind works. I've always assumed that, but it's better when other people say it since it makes it sound less subjective. There's good days and bad days, for sure; I'm just having one of my nastier nights right now.

I don't particularly mind giving names (it's part of the discussion I had earlier), but if you want to know I'd be mentioning it over PM. No worries about hunting them down (even if it was a joke), since it's not like I care what they think. My ability to just say "fuck 'em" is precisely one of the reasons I'm still on the site, actually. I don't inherently care what they think, however that's also my undoing; because I don't care what they think, if enough people irritate me on the site I could imagine myself just deciding the place isn't worth my time at all. You guys really are the only reason I bother being here. I don't need to role-play here; I have other ways (in fact my primary role-playing has been put on hold due to this place distracting me). If I didn't think the people I'm getting to know here were worth it, I'd have left by now; I rarely stay on a site for that long usually unless I created it, and even then I "exodus" a lot. I'm an internet nomad, I guess.

@Shoryu Magami

No problem with being a nomad. If you want to give names, that's solely up to, really. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Are things a bit better for you today?

[Shoryu Magami]

@HaleyTheRandom
S'ok, we've all got things we need to do. I may or may not name anyone, but some of them are really irritating me and to be completely frank with you the more I realize the consequences of their actions that some of them are seemingly ignorant of (I should make a point I'm not the only person being offended by some of these people) the more agitated it's making me.

Things are shifting back and forth a lot for me right now; I don't expect you to go through the entire conversation history in this thread since you were last here but it's a pretty good example of the sort of rollercoaster my mood is having right now. I'm in one of my bad phases right now; more or less the same as I was last time we spoke. I got a little better for a while and then it went back down. I did, on the other hand, take your advice and cut myself enough slack to actually fall asleep (it was more like collapsing, but yeah). Under normal circumstances I should be sleeping now but that's not happening with how my sleep pattern has rotated from all of this.

How're you?

[Sugar and Spite]

@Shoryu Magami Ugh. I seem to be hearing more and more about people like this. Makes me sick, really. I mean, you figure people come here to have fun and then people want to discourage good and decent members of the community by being ignorant fucks. Anyway.

You slept, that's the main thing.

Me, myself, and I aren't doing all that great, but I'm here.

[Shoryu Magami]

@HaleyTheRandom
What's really troublesome is some of the people I'm referring to here are actually long-standing members of the site, some with good reputation, so knowing that I'm potentially going to create controversy here unless I just keep my mouth shut (read: not gonna happen with my forthright nature, it's only a matter of time before this volcano inside of my soul blows and i'm exercising a huge amount of self-restraint right now) is making me very conflicted about this place.

I'd be lying if I said that the thread Oliver created was the start of the situation, even if it was the first time I told you something had me in a bad mood. It really just felt like most (not all mind you) people completely brushed off my posts, and admittedly I still feel bothered by that thread; not because of the reception I got but more so that I had so much more I wanted to tell Oliver and my sleep deprivation prevented it. I still plan on putting up another post once I can think straight; if that ever happens.

Seriously though, the problems I've been having with certain people here began on the first day I joined this place, and some of them have been escalating up until now while others have just sort of been sitting back unresolved. I have too many important things to work on with my project and fiancé to waste my time dealing with all this bullshit. Like I said before; the only reason I've stuck around is I think some of you guys are worth it.

If you three want to talk to me about anything on your end (whether on here or over PM) you're more than welcome to.

[Sugar and Spite]

@Shoryu Magami The longer standing members of the site tend to have an over inflated ego. Now, I'm not saying that about all of them, as there are some super cool ones such as Gowi and Lady A, just to name a few, but some of the others just come across as... well, I don't know how to put it really. Perhaps as if they are better than most? Once again, don't get me wrong, I've learned a ton from these guys, but the way the act at times... makes me think they need a reality check. It just really messes with me a bit as well, because, like you say they ARE the senior members of the site and you figure they would be the ones trying to make people feel welcome.

The post with Oliver, for me, anyway, was the first time I actually realized that your advice was good. Even though you are/were sleep deprived when writing those posts, your advice seemed genuine as where in -not that thread particularly- but some others that I have seen are just like 'Oh hey, here's a cliché answer now shut-up and leave us alone.' And honestly, it means quite a bit to know that I'm one of the ones that keep you around this place, but if it ever becomes to much for you, just let us know and I'm sure we'll all understand.

Sure thing. Maybe I will. We'll see.
