shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

Data. Usually in the form of books and documents, but comms gives me a lot of gossip as well.

 

for the last time, i wasnt the bully in high school. im fucking tiny, the hell was i going to do? bite someones ankle?

 

i mean, sure, ok, there was that ONE special ed kid, but its not like HE was a good person even BEFORE he cracked his head open. you shouldve heard the slurs he spewed on a daily basis, itd make an sjw faint.

 

What's, um, your society like?

Spoiler: dark stuff

This is gonna sound like a, uh, dick thing to say but, um. Have you considered therapy? Legit considered it, gone to it, tried it on for size? Because, uh, that's a lot of shit that you should probably unpack.

Shit happens. Using it to justify being an awful person down the line is just an excuse.

You can bully one person just fine, asshole. And I guess you were good at it, too.

 

it was just letting off a little steam. normal kid stuff. you could barely even call it bullying.

more like rough-housing.

 

It's trash like you that I hate the most, those who pick on the very bottom of the food chain because they want to cling on to some semblance of power over someone. Go die, will you?

Shrinks cost money I don't have, and the ones I saw in public school didn't give a shit.

 

...'landeau, you're splitting.

 

That's bullying.

 

arent YOU picking on the bottom of the food chain? if you think im trash?

im pretty sure he had no idea what was even going on most of the time.

 

Priests might work too. I know a couple who do uh, therapy for people who don't have income.

You don't know that. Stop trying to justify, man, it doesn't work.

 

Well, I think that you're trash, but you don't seem to think that. You think you're tough shit for picking on a disabled kid, and I have to put shitheads like you back in their place so no one has to go through what I went through.

 

Why would I believe in a God, in a world where travesties like me are allowed to happen?

 

the guy couldnt even keep his protective gear on half the time. i think its safe to say the light-hearted teasing didnt do much damage. i put up with WAY worse from people who actually MEANT it and i turned out fine.

he wasnt a kid, he was the same age as me.

 

calm down, 'landeau. you can't help anyone like this.

 

You don't have to put anyone in place. It won't help.

You don't have to believe in God, it's just the first low-income therapy options I could think of. There's charity clinics too, and one of them might be able to help.

You really didn't. And neither did he, I bet. Stop making things worse.

 

uh, hello, i turned out hot as hell and learned how to express my anger in ways that WOULDNT get my ass kicked by cute girls.

 

You think that you can quantify types of bullying based on how much other people act hurt by it, and then you turn around and mock people for caring. You really didn't turn out fine. I guess you're alright looking, but you're, uh, not my type so I can't tell.

 

(Deirdre nods) That's quite a line of work. I wonder what you'd make of Kelehëu's Tower. Probably a field moon.

In short? (Deirdre laughs)
Nosy. The Syrdyrya Beladi tribe are nomads and traders, a certain openness runs deep. The Beladi as a whole are nosy, but the nomadic tribes take it a bit further. the Sylkyet don't really like that, private people that they are. The Kalea and the Qhori are better about it.
But this here --(Deirdre motions to her lantern)
usually keeps people civil. The dead need their rites, and messing with priests is considered bad luck, especially Tershoëti priests.

... What does that have to do with anything.

 

If I don't have this, then what reason even is there for my existence. I don't want there to be any more Agams, more of my mom, more of me.

 

because thats how the past works. it doesnt matter unless it actually affects things in the future.
