We don't talk a8out it. Okay? Okay.
I could easily go into all the myriad reasons on why engaging with this is a 8ad idea, even providing video evidence on why you do *not* want to get yourself Trickster-ified, for lack of a 8etter term, 8ut... No. That's all I have to say a8out this. No.
I am immensely disappointed in everyone who is ena8ling this tripe.
which tripe? there's a lot of them :p
Not to 8e "A Porrim" a8out it, 8ut the flagrant depersonaliz8ion of 8asically every girl I know for the sake of some pointless "ranking". I really cannot fathom why the people of this site ena8le him or any of his ilk- I'd go so far as to say they're some of the most popular people here! Which, uh, yikes. I'm sure whatever else is going on is pretty stupid, 8ut the usual degeneracy of Chittr doesn't make me want to 8ang my pan against the nearest surface.
No+t sure ho+w I feel abo+ut my name being used like this, but I agree. The way peo+ple o+verwhelmingly flo+ck to+ such blatant o+bjectificatio+n is truly disgusting.
When I am not playing assistant, I admittedly do not have much to do... I could perhaps use this site to gain insight into the outside world on my off time. ... So far my expectations are still not high, however.
I wish I could say it's usually 8etter, 8ut I try to make it a ha8it not to lie unless it's really, truly necessary. While our universes are likely far apart and dissimilar in multitudes of ways, I try my 8est to 8e a good and relia8le source of inform8ion to the 8est of my a8ilities!
All things considered, the fact that I've not fallen prey to the ask8ox trend is a curious one. Normally I'd take any opportunity to 8la88er on a8out something or other, 8ut... Hm. I don't know, it just doesn't hold the same luster when you can't see who asked what. I'm still thinking on it.
im sorry it keeps hate reaCting for some reason. im trying to like.,,,.,
A recent p9st 6y Aranea @arachnesGratitude has me thinking. At times I alm9st envy th9se 9f y9u that are the 9nly iterati9n 9f y9urself 9n Chittr. It must 6e 9ffputting, t9 say the least, t9 kn9w that at any m9ment y9ur reputati9n c9uld 6e marred just 6ecause s9me9ne wh9 happens t9 share y9ur name is acting in ways y9u never w9uld and finding new, creative ways t9 em6arrass themself 9nline. N9t that *I* have these feelings pers9nally, as I have n9thing 6ut pr9fessi9nal respect f9r the 9ther versi9ns 9f me that exist 9n Chittr and w9uld never think lesser 9f them f9r acting 9r speaking differently than I d9. I am just saying I c9uld easily imagine the disc9mf9rt. #Musings #AlternateSelves
I have (thankfully) not encountered another iter8ion of myself that has caused me to feel any sort of shame or discomfort- erm, at least, within certain parameters of "the self", anyway. That aside, I am happy to have prompted musings of this nature! It is nice to know that I'm not the only person deli8er8ing over this sort of thing, as it were. It is nice to see another viewpoint on such matters, even though it wasn't quite the point of my original post, haha...
Sometimes, when I look at the popul8ion of this site, I feel fortun8 that infinity seems to have 8lessed us with the presence of only one of certain individuals. This is a8out no one in particular, 8ut freely assume if you wish.
}:(
I would like to 8elieve a gr8 majority of what I say is said in confidence, yes. Frankly, against many of the people I do know, I 8elieve more of "you" vs more of "them" would actually 8e prefera8le.

Two seems to 8e the optimal location to pick for the sake of 8eing amusing. As for an actual answer... And this isn't 8ecause of my usual 8iases! I would have to go with 8. If only to attempt to pry some inform8ion out of my two seat-m8s.

wwasnt me this time right
My! That's a lot of notific8ions to return to. I've scarcely posted in over a week- How are people even finding these things to react to?

Hrm. Yes, that makes sense. I suppose in certain cases an individual could also 8e looking for someone specific, as well, and that's how these things happen.
so context! my keen sniffer can detect not only what someone smells like, but also what the space around them is inundated with! their very essence! their soul! what they put out into the universe! would anyone like a demonstration? <3
I'll admit a 8ase curiosity, if only 8ecause I'm wondering as to what you could possi8ly say.
this is interesting! hm...youre bubbly, sort of like seltzer i guess? it seems light at first, but then theres what can only be myrrh?
Hmm. Far from the worst way anyone has descri8ed me. If my olfactory senses were as tuned as some of my others, I think I'd like to experience what you've descri8ed, if just once. ...Is that strange to say?

Did you just say you regretted a post of this nature 8ecause the Empress found it and then dou8le down????????
HOW MANY FuCKING SHITTY ME’S ARE THERE.
Less than you'd think 8ut more than you'd hope.
MY “SELF ESTEEM”. HAS TRuLY BEEN IMPROVED BY THIS FACT. I SAY. WITH SARCASM. IN CASE THAT WAS NOT. OBVIOuS.
There was once a time in which I was... Well, honestly, a little o8sessed with the concept of the one, true, irreplacea8le Alpha timeline. Perhaps seeking the relevance I was never allowed within our own narrative, or feeling I was owed it after... Well, I'm not going to put anyone on 8last for the sweeps on sweeps of interpersonal drama. Anyway! My point. I had, at one time, dismissed the possi8ilities held 8y other timelines as mere happenstance. Curiosities, irrelevant against the gr8er picture of the Alpha. Realizing that none of that actually, truly matters was very, very freeing. Allowing oneself to grow attached to those you would've simply dismissed as a single of a vast multitude, not 8othering to see the intricacies that might set them apart, and even outright refusing to see the possi8ility in those far-flung offshoots that wear our names and faces 8ut in different tints and hues. It's all such a fascin8ing wealth of possi8ility and inform8ion! I'm kicking myself a little 8it for treating all of it- And, as much as it pains me to say it, all of those that fall under that um8rella- as something unimportant. That all said, my archives are getting rather 8eefy. I should look into digital storage, perhaps, 8ut the novelty of having all of this in a physical, tactile medium is just too appealing.
Gonna ask folks ta' rub yer belly next, Buddha?
THERE'S A DIMENSION TO HAVING SUCH A SCREECHBEAST'S-EYE VIEW OF ALL THE POSSIBLE DIVERGENT PEOPLE YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN, COULD HAVE BEEN, THAT SENDS A VIOLENT RIPPLE DOWN MY POSTURE POLE. I FEEL IT MOST OF ALL WHEN I HEAR SOMEONE CHIT THAT ANOTHER TROLL IS "THEIR KARKAT", OR "NOT MY KARKAT." BEING ON CHITTR AND INTERNALIZING THAT DISSONANCE IS EITHER THE STRIKING OF A DULL, TETANUS-ENCRUSTED SHACKLE, OR A SPONGE-BOGGLING ABANDONMENT IN THE VAST SEA OF IRRELEVANCE. BEING HERE MEANS THAT I'M EITHER *EVERYONE'S* KARKAT, OR I'M *NO ONE'S* KARKAT. IT'S A LOT TO THINK ABOUT. AND FUCK YOU FOR COMPELLING ME TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I think this sho+ws a wo+nderful level o+f gro+wth, Aranea. And I applaud yo+ur ability to+ self reflect. I kno+w ho+w hard that can be, when yo+u're a gho+st in the bubbles, but it so+unds like yo+u're making excellent headway! And what is sto+pping yo+u fro+m having bo+th a physical and digital co+py o+f yo+ur reco+rds? They can serve different purpo+ses, and yo+u do+n't have to+ limit yo+urself fro+m having access to+ the tactile fo+rmat, just because yo+u also+ want the ease o+f use which co+mes fro+m a digital co+py.
Timelines are a finicky thing like that. The shared experiences act as a sort of anchor 8etween individuals, at times, 8ut on the other- When was the last time you saw an entire timeline's worth of people of any descriptor show up in one spot? I certainly can count the amount of times that I've witnessed such a thing on one hand, at least. If it were up to me, the concept of "my" or "your" or "their" version of an individual would lose its relevancy, though at the same time I'm full and well aware how that can quickly 8ecome awkward, what with wanting to 8ond with another over shared experience and all. I like to think things would 8e far simpler if terms like that were saved for one's individual friend groups, or even quadrant 8onds, 8ut the sheer multitude of certain people *also* complic8s the notion. There's really no one clear solution, I suppose. As frustr8ing as that is to admit.
Ah... Well, um. Thank you. ::::) Honestly, I am considering it. It's just the sheer effort involved in such a task! Committing everything to memory and writing it down was a monumental task in itself, having to repeat the process- al8eit 8eing one of transferal and diction rather than actual wording- sounds a 8it nightmarish. 8ut may8e I can work something out. I could get help, for one.
