Video | UN: aweful

[She’s been here for over a week now. Time to get the lay of the land. The video opens up to a particularly tall blonde woman with a golden skeletal arm and a smirk. She's here to cause problems on purpose.]

Greetings, hello, salutations. My name is Ianthe Naberius. I’m new in town, twenty two, a princess of Ida, unfortunately single and dreadfully bored!

Now, I come to you today, not only to introduce myself, but to ask something of all of you.

Who do you hate most in Trench and why? I’m trying to meet people, network, but it’s so hard and overwhelmingly positive! So consider this an open invitation. Warn me about that dangerous scoundrel who kicked your puppy, seethe about how much you despise me for whatever reason, tell me about your parasocial hateful fixation on one of the local divinity. It can be a minor slight you want to complain about, a friend of yours who owes you two perfectly intact human skulls, or it can be an actual danger to this lovely little community of ours.

Now, before you try to say “this is childish and stupid!” You’re absolutely right, but it is a necessary part of self care to allow oneself to be an absolute cunt once in a while. [Or all the time, if your name is Ianthe.] So let’s not make any grand claims to being above something like this, mm?

Feel free to use the anonymity feature. Or the privacy feature, I guess, if you’re shy or worried about being fileted like a fish.

What makes this any different? I told you over and over to leave me alone and you didn't care. This has never been about giving me what I wanted.

[survivalthroughhate]

I was doing what I thought was RIGHT because I was told that by people who I thought knew better than me. I don't have a conscience so I was relying on others to tell me how to make amends. I was unaware all three of them hadn't asked YOU what you wanted out of this.

[facultative]

And this arguing with everyone over something you started? Is that also what's 'right'?

[survivalthroughhate]

Pride + stubborn nature + short temper = this.

[At least he had some awareness of the faults in his personality.]

[facultative]

[This is the opposite of helpful.]

So you make it everyone else's problem too.

[survivalthroughhate]

Isn't that what you do all the time?

[facultative]

I've never done what you're doing right now.

[He's never demanded the attention and he'd genuinely prefer it if people stopped sticking their nose into his business.]

[survivalthroughhate]

You act just like a spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum half the time and that DOES make it everyone else's problem when they're forced to mop up the mess that happens when you lash out. Or do you think Obi-Wan actually ENJOYS dealing with your nonsense all the time?

[facultative]

Name one thing I've done then in that same 'almost a year'.

[survivalthroughhate]

........You really want me to say it? You drove your son away with that charming attitude of yours. It says something that he prefers my company to yours these days.

[facultative]

Is that what he told you?

[survivalthroughhate]

He didn't need to. He showed me the conversation you two had on the network that started this estrangement.

[facultative]

[So he still doesn't care.]

That's up to him.

[survivalthroughhate]

No, you're not dodging responsibility on this. It takes two for an estrangement and you're the one that asked for it. You want it to end? YOU put forth some effort and see what happens.

[facultative]

I told him what my limits were and if he's not willing to accept that then there's nothing more to be said.

[survivalthroughhate]

How would you know if he's willing to accept them or not unless you actually talk to him? You're creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of asking people to respect strict limits you set and then pushing them away without even giving them the chance to see if they can do that or not, so you're forever disappointed in others.

[facultative]

I did. He ignored them. He can try again when he actually considers them important. The fact that he's chosen not to for this long is on him.

[survivalthroughhate]

So everyone gets one single chance to hold themselves up to your ridiculously high standards and if they fail you just write them off forever? No wonder only Obi-Wan is able to stand being around you for more than five minutes.
