@everyone

Are we doing the deepest regret revealing in any order? It currently seems to be Ku, then those involved in the dance. Are they going first then everyone else at random?

A friend of @rose-colored-fancy and I made this petition involving Rose’s poor character Gav (some of you may remember him and Liorah) and Kit’s ever-suffering eldest brother Eli, as well as one of her own stressed and suffering characters XD

It’s just for fun, obviously, but here it is if anyone wants to take a look XD

It’s ok!  I think it’s actually a good thing we all had this discussion because it looks like there’s actually a lot of pretty horrifying worst regrets…at least, more than I expected

Huh.  I never thought about that, but it makes a lot of sense!  I’m not sure quite what it is, but something about the way you write Ku makes her feel so real an…[Read more]

No, that sounds like everything. A few characters have gone through the challenge: Ku, Abirami, and Jade.

@everyone, is there anything I need to know before jumping into this challenge? The dance is over, there was a feast and a forced clothes change, and there are a few new characters. Is there anything really important I’m missing?

Amnesia gazed into the map of the mirrors. The tests were going as planned. Everything was going well, except for two variables. Nithel and Nathair.

Through powers unknown to man, Amnesia summoned the two anomalies.

“You have no guilt in this trial.” Amnesia stated to Nithel. “For you to remain here would be a waste of time. Go to the Trial of…[Read more]

And for a bit of context, Airu was Jade’s cousin, and they were very close.

wait… so, did Airu attack Jade, or attack herself? sorry, I probably should be able to read between the lines, but my mind’s apparently not working right now.

Oh, she killed herself. Sorry if that was confusing.

@jared-williams

I apologize for not giving a warning. You all are right. I should have seen that.

And to answer your question, @this-is-not-an-alien as to why this particular post hit so hard… part of it may have been the way I wrote it, but I think part of it is because previous posts from Ku connected with you guys and by this time, you guys know Ku and her…[Read more]

So

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

This post contains suicide and violence.

Jade

Ku’s regret reveal left Jade’s skin crawling in horror. When Abirami’s turn came, Jade’s mind raced, trying to figure out how to deal with this diabolical Castle’s challenge. Airu forced herself into Jade’s unwilling thoughts. Hatred for the Benevolents, for herself, and for the…[Read more]

Exactly!

I think it would actually be a good idea to start posting content warnings on posts that have disturbing material in them!

@calidris

I was actually thinking of putting a content warning on mine before I read any of this!

@jared-williams

Yeah, Ku’s ordeal is definitely triggering for us ladies. However, it is an issue that shouldn’t be ign…[Read more]

@jared-williams

oh, yeah. though… I haven’t watch all of it yet… I really like how they put that together. Have you heard of Sight & Sounds Theater? They have AMAZING musical productions of Bible stories!!!!!! Like, seriously, worth looking into!

Me too! We’ve watched both season… 3 or 4 times each I think XD. It’s my favorite show. (Translatio…[Read more]

@ethan-leonard it’s going to be a sad day for Saevus when he no longer has anyone to fight…tbh if he weren’t so evil I’d feel sorry for him

@calidris

Well…it’s Saevus. How else is he gonna respond to this? He certainly won’t sit there and act like nothing happened.

And yes, I’m gonna let everyone else go first because he…he’s Saevus.

I really appreciate that!  Violence isn’t *as* big of an issue for me personally, but it’s still really nice to be prepared in advance XD

Lol I guess Saevus is going to Saevus XD  Sounds good, but just make sure everyone else has a chance to write their’s beforehand!

Out of context this just sounds so…cursed and chaotic

Which it kind o…[Read more]

@jared-williams

I will agree. Warnings or a buildup are a good idea. I’ll admit that when I was reading that I was kinda like, where on earth is this going…?Also, I’ll give a warning right now-when Saevus’ biggest regret comes in, it’ll be in the middle of a battle, and a sword battle at…[Read more]

I didn’t mention it, but that’s a huge part of it too.  Even if a girl hasn’t experienced that specific kind of trauma, she’s almost certainly experienced some degree of sexual harassment or objectification.  This isn’t to say that guys aren’t abused too, but I’m almost 100% certain that in general it’s not this ingrained fear or concern like i…[Read more]

After thinking over and rereading it, I think…it was really powerful. I was trying to figure out why this particular post instantly struck all of us as needing a content warning when I read a couple other posts that went on those same subjects heck I’ve written some of them! I think…1. The group, it’s pretty large and harder to gauge…[Read more]
