LiterallyLoki's advice/blog thread

While it may work depending on if there was a story beforehand with a bit less of it, I think the word “fuck” may be a tiny bit overused throughout the entire piece.

Fuck. This. Life. Fuck this world, fuck the gods, fuck that Nameless One, fuck the East Empire, fuck Vaisei, fuck me, fuck this island, fuck everything.

This part in my opinion would be fine, if not for how many times “fuck” is used earlier. I believe in a mentality wherein something holds more value the less it’s used. A character going “fuck” is much more impactful if they’ve been mild-mannered and always heavily polite, as opposed to someone that drops expletives more than AO players drop games after updates.

I was actually thinking this a few days ago. It’s both more funny because of how unexpected it is but also more impactful because of how bad the situation is to get that sort of reaction.

The story before hand is exact, but it’s basically a druid known to be kind and good, after being hardened by the battle against a LITERAL GOD, he’s gone from the sweet boy we see at the beginning of the novel to someone who is just… crashing out. He HAS to die to keep his loved ones alive, but he knows it was possible for him to live too if he didn’t make earlier mistakes.

It’s like a rising, faster beat that gets more and more tense and aggressive. he’s losing it.

I think in that case, the swearing would be better spaced out as occasional at the beginning, and getting more and more common as it goes on.

this IS at the sort of apex of his numbness. There’s nothing left. He wants to be out. There’s nothing left for him. He feels like crashing waves, like he’s floating. But, I’ll take your word for it.

Thanks, my friend!

cool

Think I’d like a rating of my own here now-
see how you think of me

Also, if anyone’s curious, the songs I used as inspiration for Sam (the character we see through in this story) are Red Sex by Vessel, Dog Days are Over by Florence + The Machine, and Purpose is Glorious by Natalie Holt. The final is my all time favorite score, my favorite piece to ever come from a piece of fiction.

I’m not white but I am Arab and do not live in a rich community but my family is in massive debt so please do not disrespect me like this

what warmwaters said

not something I wanna see myself

okay but notice how I wasn’t rude but you were

You said something that has been SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN wrong. Not only that, you single handedly have broken my sanity. I have been calm and nice, and you, just by being so goddamn foolish have broken that. Do you feel accomplished? Are you proud for not only having a morally, but scientifically wrong opinion?

Okay, setting you to ignore, you no longer exist to me. Get better and learn to grow as a damn person.

notice how you completely disregarded what loki said and you basically change the subject

infact i notice how you disregard any attempts to prove you wrong, its like talking to a brick wall lined with polonium 210

I dunno how to ask but… Today is my first day that im having therapy! I dont know what to expect and how itll go. Do you have any idea what will happen because im a bit scared of it…

ive never had therapy but there is no need to be scared, they are trained professionals and are there to help you not hurt you

It will be ok.

I’ve been thinking of how to word this for too long (10-ish minutes)

Is it normal for me to be angry all the time? I’ve spent so much time being pissed off with people that it’s basically become a standard for me; usually it’s just other people screwing me over.

Sometimes it’s people yelling at me like a damned child for being confused about whatever they’re talking about, and other times people (like Mom) lose their minds after I express any form of annoyance, even if that’s the first time I’ve talked around them for the day.

If you are an American, then enjoy the possible chance of always switching therapists or them being so busy they can never see you.

That’s the worst experience in therapy I’ve had. It’ll be okay - just reveal stuff slowly. Therapists like to progressively get to know you, it helps them assess you better.

Notice how some people preach tolerance and yet they degrade and mock you for having different, conflicting opinions? Quite curious.
