you can't gaslight or guilt-trip people into enjoying something that genuinely sucks. riding high horses didn't work, so they're trying to victimize themselves now lmao (lamenting my anguish online) (i wish the game was still good and we didn't have to block each other over its current state)

i sorta get the concept behind reaction videos to other videos or comics or books, but to MUSIC? what the actual fuck man

i've always wanted to be worth something outside of my art. so when i casually write some tags under a blorbo tumblr post and they get peer-reviewed SEVERAL TIMES???? people like what i say?? this flavor of dopamine's so strong and refreshing, honestly i forgot how to feel happy from likes on art

i love how every now and then wolqotd devolves into people plugging their wol pics in the main post/question. no i don't love that at all. practice humility

"everyone misunderstands this npc as if they've only got 2 character traits" and they literally have 2 character traits in canon

joining xiv in the state of heartbreak by my previous mmo kinda helped me save a lot of energy and nerves as now i'm trained to spot red flags (tm) and certain patterns of an mmo that isn't being cared for that well anymore. i distanced myself from xiv as a game before 6.0 actually

the game itself has entered the phase of flanderizing (or dragging around the corpses of) its characters for short term profit so we're all just yelling at cloud at this point

woke up with the thought "trying to stay authentic in face of horrors (audience/internet) makes me more insane than i could've been otherwise" but i don't mind. i value authenticity above many things in life. sanity's optional and subjective
