You know, you could have gotten just inactive, so why do you bother putting so much effort into something that you could lose anyway? I mean, there has to be another reason, doesn't it?

Hikamaru May 25th, 2015 12:18 PM

I can see what you mean, but I did enjoy some challenges but not all of it. That compliment war was definitely the hardest, along with the secret words. If the #bluebloods win, I'll just say "I may have been put on the team that wasn't successful but at least I did something" but yeah I will likely never sign up for events like this again, it's why my pal Starry Windy didn't join, he was worried he'd end up on the opposing side and would get sad.

I feel like I share too much in common with him for some reason. Friendly competition is okay, but it's much harder to deal with when you have emotions that shatter easily.

That makes it even more confusing. Then again, I'm probably quite the opposite of you, since I shut down my emotions a long time ago, which created a ton of problems as well, but in a different way.

Anyway, there's no reason for you to not become emotional in such a case, it's what makes humans human. :)

I might have to take time off again, because I had been suffering ever since my family's unit was attacked and I want to focus activity elsewhere. But at the same time I'm worried about the Fairy-type club because I'm club owner and if I'm away for too long it'll die out.

acatfrommars May 25th, 2015 12:37 PM

Wait, how many points are we losing by?

The good feeling is we have more time capsule entries than they do, and those act like a points multiplier or something.

Well, considering how long you managed to keep your club alive, it shouldn't be a problem for you to revive it successfully. ;)

The thing was, it was Dustin aka Jellicent♀ who was the initial leader, but he lost interest and went inactive and that led to the ownership needing to be handed over, and because I was the only consistently active poster (plus the fact Wicked couldn't keep it holding as he hates Fairy-types) there was no choice but me to take over.

It's fun to run, but the club has a tendency to be dead a lot. Doesn't help it's usually the most hated of all the types, because not many liked the cute and mainly feminine nature of the type.

Hikamaru May 25th, 2015 1:06 PM

Yeah, it'd be best for me to scale back activity. Just be more careful around me okay?

Hikamaru May 25th, 2015 1:17 PM

Most usual methods of calming down don't really work well for me as I'd first think. I have autism, and it changes your emotions drastically compared to someone who doesn't have it. But yeah, I will be going a bit inactive until maybe next week or something just to try and help me find a treatment.

Spoiler:
Anyways, I can admit the reason I have been so dramatic during these events is because I got slapped when everyone was posting in the opposing team's thread in the early days (and as a result posts were getting deleted because you could only post in your own team's DCC) and taking the rivalry too literally, and then "BAM!!" I was called out and I lost confidence, so that's why I've been such a sore person and always felt worried about myself. I will try and take the loss better should #bluebloods win, even if I won't take it as well as the rest of you. It's just that I suffered a loss of my own.

mfw people take such a lighthearted event so seriously

Hikamaru May 25th, 2015 3:07 PM

Red is a color representing anger and aggression, which explains why we're tough hotheads.

Sirfetch’d May 25th, 2015 3:17 PM

we should have been the passionate pinks

Omicron May 25th, 2015 5:15 PM

That's why I love Valentine's Day.

Sirfetch’d May 25th, 2015 5:47 PM

I love Valentines day for Luvdisc :3

Wicked3DS May 25th, 2015 5:59 PM

Single's Awareness Day

Maybe next year will work out better.

Well I guess because singles have an excuse to reach out to someone they like, but in my case, it doesn't work out and I just watch all the happy couples going on cute dates and saying "there's always next year."

...Then I realize I feel the same way, to a degree. :< Except I somewhat avoid relationships cause I think they'd carry drama and stuff and I wouldn't like that.

In my eyes, they carry as much drama as you let them. There are always going to be fights, it's just a matter of how many there are and whether they're actually legitimate or over stupid things. In my eyes, it's your choice whether or not you let a toxic relationship linger on.

Sirfetch’d May 26th, 2015 7:47 AM

I'm not one for relationships either really. I want to be in one but at the same time I really feel like I am not ready and should wait.

Sonata May 26th, 2015 9:04 AM

Relationships are nice. It gets boring being alone, and I believe there's a certain comfort that can only be given by a significant other. If a friend tried to imitate that comfort it would probably get really awkward really fast.

But then relationships can get really annoying at times and I'd rather just be alone. Idk. It's complicated.

Sonata May 26th, 2015 9:17 AM

I guess I've just been hurt enough that it doesn't bother me anymore. Now I'm more hurt thinking back on how much money I wasted on the person when we didn't even last. Like, I could have done so much with the money I spent on my last ex.

Megan May 26th, 2015 9:36 AM

As someone who doesn't even have friends, I have a really hard time imagining what a close relationship would look like. Actually, I think I'm better off, not knowing, because if I knew, that would probably make things worse for me, as I would always feel reminded on what I don't have. ^^"

Sonata May 26th, 2015 9:42 AM

I remember buying my last ex at least $200 worth of stuff. I know I bought her a glassblown thing of our names and it came with an engraved mirror and that ran up about $50. Then I got her laptop fixed after she was a dumb butt and got a whole bunch of viruses on it. I feel bad if I don't do cute/nice things for people I'm in a relationship with though.

Lycanthropy May 26th, 2015 10:02 AM

Nice and cute things don't have to be expensive. You can always just watch a movie on the couch together, for free.
