Hey everyone! I don't post on here super often, but I've been laid up for a week now and I'm going a little crazy. Total cabin fever.

I used to see forums like this on the internet back home, and I thought it might be kind of fun here too, so I thought I'd give it a try, because reading those forums was always a lot of fun.

So, Crowd-Sourced Relationship Advice!

I turned on anonymous posting on here, so you can make a fake username and submit a description of a problem that you're having in your relationships, either romantic or at work or whatever, and other anonymous people can give you advice!

Or you can stay logged in on your real account. Up to you!

I am lucky that we spoke before they left. I'm not sure if it eased the difficulty, I imagine I wouldn't be saying that if I didn't get to see them off.

Some of us have responsibilities that outweigh even the happiness of the people we love. I'm just used to being the one who makes the sacrifice, rather than being the one who stays behind.

[bottombitch]

oh yeah
that's a really good point

idk maybe i'm selfish
i just wanted to talk to him
even if what he had to say was painful
at least i would have had some kind of closure

[worldsaway]

I don't think it's selfish to want closure.

When I was a young man, I kept a frog as a pet. I loved him dearly, I named him, I told him my secrets. Then one day I came home and found that he had escaped his cage and left the palace.

I never saw him again. None of the frogs in the river looked like him. I always wondered what I did wrong, but he probably just wanted to go home. And if he loved me, it wasn't enough to live in a prison for the rest of his life.

But I always wish I at least saw him leave. Because I think my brother might have done something to him.

In Loving Memory.

[worldsaway]

You're not very anonymous.

< anon >

[dothelokimotion]

Neither were you.

[worldsaway]

Nobody else figured it out.

[dothelokimotion]

It wouldn't have taken them that long.

[worldsaway]

That's not true. Not everybody knows me.

[dothelokimotion]

Well, you should change that.

Especially if you're running your campaign at some point.

[worldsaway]

I didn't expect you to remember that. Did I tell you I got a promotion?

I don't think I want them to know me and associate me with my grievances, anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

You did not.

Having grievances will connect you to the common folk. It makes you relatable. How do you think Asgard became so fond of me?

[worldsaway]

I assumed it had something to do with pretending to be Odin.

[dothelokimotion]

[ That . . . rankles a little. ]

Well, that and none of them could resist a sob story.

<anon>

[bottombitch]

lol wtf

[dothelokimotion]

Pay it no heed.

[bottombitch]

um
so
what did you do to loki's frog

[ Aoba figured since he mentioned Asgard, that this is an exchange between the brothers. Problem is... he got them both mixed up and thinks Thor is more likely to have done something to a pet, a dubious sort that seems green and totally right up with Loki's style or something.

He's obviously mistaken. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ omg ]

I ate it.

[bottombitch]

WOW
THAT'S SO AWFUL?!

you really should be better to your brother!

[dothelokimotion]

You're right.

I should have been more grateful to Loki. He was the reason I managed to pass my studies. And the time on Nornheim.

[bottombitch]

i don't know anything about that
but maybe you should
maybe
make it up to him
he sounds really broken up about his pet you know

[dothelokimotion]

What kind of pet do you think Loki would appreciate?

[bottombitch]

idk
like i feel like a snake would fit but
i don't like them
they kind of scare me

but a cat is capricious and beautiful
so for some reason i feel like that's better
preferably one that likes to occupy his lap

[bottombitch]

omg
i'm so sorry for your loss
if he stole your frog
that's such a dick thing to do

[ Aoba figures this is an exchange between Loki and Thor... but he mixes them up, thinking Loki is the sort to have a pet frog, and Thor is just the kind of jock who would take it away or something.

Oops. ]

[worldsaway]

He did lots of things like that when we were younger.
In fact, he continues to do those things. It's in his nature.
