The Do+lo+ro+sa
@doloRosa
Mo+ve alo+ng no+w. [ Mid-rebellion Dolorosa. Feisty, paranoid, and not as careful as she should be. Not connected to any other ancestor timelines currently. ]
It appears as tho+ugh the Imperial rumo+ur mill co+ntinues to+ spin falseho+o+ds abo+ut me and mine. I will be very clear. I am alive. My so+n is alive. We are alive. We will co+ntinue to+ fight this fight with each breath we take. We will never back do+wn. They want yo+u ho+peless, disheartened and afraid. They want yo+u to+ shake in the shado+w o+f their suppo+sed strength. They want yo+u to+ believe they can quash such a public threat to+ their hierarchy. If we were to+ be culled, that is no+t the end fo+r the rebellio+n. Fo+llo+w in o+ur fro+ndsteps. Lo+o+k o+ut fo+r yo+ur fello+w tro+ll. Co+ntinue the fight.
Even when things feel bleak, there are mo+ments that shine thro+ugh. I am blessed to+ have my clade, it is true. Do+ no+t be fo+o+led by the idea that yo+u are destined to+ be alo+ne. Yo+ur allies, yo+ur friends, yo+ur lo+ved o+nes: they are o+ut there. Yo+u must find them first.
I have a general understanding that this place co+ntains many multiples o+f many peo+ple. But I canno+t say that kno+wing that co+unteracts any stro+ng feelings I may have to+wards individuals who+ also+ exist within my o+wn timeline. I think that do+g sho+uld kill her. #vaguepo+st #o+rno+t
No+t o+nly is Susann deeply unpleasant and po+sitively vile, but her grublo+af has the same texture as clay. Pick a struggle, as the kids say.
The mytho+s o+f being an island to+ yo+urself is a sickness they give to+ yo+u. Yo+ur strength is in yo+ur bo+nds, no+t in a lack o+f them. Do+ no+t allo+w the delusio+n o+f singularity to+ take away yo+ur perso+nho+o+d.
Being asked why o+ne wo+uld ever leave the co+mfo+rt o+f the caverns feels much like so+meo+ne questio+ning why a chained barkbeast wo+uld ever strain against its chain.
I have been info+rmed "Jade ho+ur" is no+t abo+ut jadeblo+o+ds. My apo+lo+gies fo+r no+t understanding. Embarrassing to+ no+t understand that it was a name. Despite everything, it is to+o+ easy to+ fall back into+ o+ur cultural assumptio+ns. I do+ no+t take back my previo+us statement, but no+w instead apply it with a deliberate o+penness. May yo+u shine. #jadeho+ur.
I was also a fool, i thought it was about MINERALS or GEMSTONES!
Isn't it wo+nderful that despite o+ur sweeps, we still have mo+re to+ learn?
I am hearing abo+ut "Jade ho+ur". I wo+uld like to+ extend a grabpo+d to+ the Jades o+ut there. Yo+u can be who+ yo+u wish to+ be. Do+ no+t allo+w yo+urself to+ be stifled. #jadeho+ur
My co+ulro+pho+bia is acting up.
౷h dear ৻ꪆ What a CRYING SHAME ༘⋆ ༘⋆
Aw, little jade sister feeling a twinge +f fear? There's n+ reas+n t+ be nerv+us, pet. I have g+t y+u. In fact, I w+uld A D x R E being able t+ keep a gabderbulb +ut f+r y+u. Keep y+u feeling all secure. Which cavern y+u stati+ned at? :+)
I am no+t speaking abo+ut fear. I do+ no+t require, no+r want, yo+ur "care".
Indeed.
My thinkpan blesses me with a deep, radiating migraine each time ano+ther midblo+o+d claims their co+ldblo+o+ded superio+r canno+t be hemo+ist because THEY get treated nicely. Is the co+ldblo+o+d in the hive with us? Why do+ yo+u co+ntinue to+ deepchute their bo+o+ts witho+ut their presence?
highblxoxods bad bitches when nxot everything thinks highblxoxods are bad: wtf???? all blxoxods ate bad nxow...
???
I am no+t the speaker. I will no+t say my respo+nses will be the clearest o+r mo+st affirming. Were the peo+ple to+ ask, tho+ugh, I am willing to+ answer.
A tensio+n builds and races up the vertebral po+sture co+lumn. The desire is to+ explo+de befo+re it do+es. My so+n insists I instead breathe steadily and name things I can see. What ever.
Tree. Tree. Ro+ck. Pack o+f supplies that needs to+ be resto+cked. Tree. Pain in my ass who+ sho+uld also+ be do+ing this. Grubling who+ is giving me a sharp lo+o+k. My daughter who+ I canno+t insult but will cast a narro+wed lo+o+k at. Tree.
Imagine the go+o+d that co+uld co+me to+ Alternia if its rulers spent time actually caring fo+r the peo+ple instead o+f hating my chitts. #no+tso+vague
Remember that it is no+t o+ur jo+b to+ change every individual who+ seeks to+ hurt us. To+o+ much time and effo+rt has already been po+ured into+ that black ho+le. Yo+u can direct the po+wer o+f lo+ve to+ yo+ur co+mmunity first.
Cleaning blo+o+d fro+m o+ut under o+ne's claws is such a cho+re. Better to+ do+ it than to+ let it fester, tho+ugh.
Yeah - best - to do - it fast >
I do+ my best with what is available. I do+ enjo+y my claws being well kept. O+ne o+f the few vanities I can affo+rd in o+ur line o+f "wo+rk".
Well Nail/ Claw Maintenance Is Important Hygiene! Ya Dont Want To Be Walking Around With Your Nails/claws Rotting Off Your Fingers! It Just Isnt Very Demure.
I wo+uld rather ro+t than be demure.
To+o+ much o+f my life was wasted by tho+se who+ attempted to+ mo+ld me into+ the respectable jade. I will beco+me a mo+nster befo+re I beco+me mo+dest.
I imagine this is a case o+f time-space strangeness. I am no+t o+ffended. Tired, perhaps, o+f so+ftening language being used so+ o+ften. I ho+pe yo+u kno+w yo+u are under no+ o+bligatio+ns to+ be "demure" either. Yo+ur freedo+m is yo+urs. Take it where yo+u may.
I Am In No Way, Shape Or Form Of Demure. I'm Like The Absolute Opposite Of Demure. But I Do Appreciate Your Understanding And Advice.
I highly reco+mmend giving co+ldblo+o+ds a taste o+f their o+wn medicine.
X Maaaan what’d I do?? x
If the medicine is so+ur, that is o+n yo+u.
X So nothin and you know it x
I do+ no+t kno+w yo+u, no+r do+ I particularly care to+ after this interactio+n.
While explicitly no+t dead,I no+ lo+nger use my hatch name. It no+ lo+nger feels co+nnected to+ my perso+n. O+nly my clo+sest and tho+se I have lo+ng left behind kno+w what it is. I much prefer all call me by my full title. Unless yo+u are my clade, o+f co+urse.
I o+ften miss the deco+ratio+ns I ado+rned myself with in the rebellio+n o+f yo+uth. I wo+uld return to+ my vario+us piercings if the threat o+f attack were no+t so+ high. Also+ it is difficult dealing with an infectio+n o+n the run.
Vio+lence is a to+o+l, no+t a state o+f being. Ensure yo+u are using it co+rrectly.
▼fuck that, if violence makes you feel better then that counts to good too▲
And a perf+rmance, +f c+urse. A cavernb+und s+ul such as y+urself must understand the need f+r ritual and truth that c+mes f+rth fr+m imp+rtant displays +f regulati+n, yes? :+)
There are nuances to+ such things. I will no+t deny the cathartic jo+y o+f pummeling a bitch.
Why do+n't yo+u go+ perfo+rm a miracle and tear yo+ur claws o+ut o+ne by o+ne.
OPENING ARGUMENT! first off, through the power of unimaginable violence, all things are possible. so jot that down
POINT OF ORDER! "assume"
OBJECTION! also this is improper character evidence under rule 404(b)(1): "evidence of a crime, wrong, or other act is not admissible to prove a person’s character in order to show that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character."
💠~ Like, soooo true babes! ~💠
This isn't a court discussion! Ththere is no solid evidence or shared legislation, it's an informal debate.. Very informal, I'm not even ssure what I'm arguing for. Ccould I at least define my thesis? Or get some papers ready?
READING ONTO THE RECORD! i am also not sure what you're arguing for. why are you mad about the power of violence & its incredible effectiveness
Oh. Okay, thank you. Uhm. My thesis. Vviolence hurts people, and hurting people is morally wrong in most cases, so therefore using violence is morally wrong, effectiveness notwithstanding.
POINT OF ORDER! well im pretty sure my original post didnt say anything about morals. but sure, i'll bite: RESPONSE ON THOSE GROUNDS! violence hurting people is fine actually that's the point
Well "all things" does imply also being able to hold a moral standing.. Since that is a thing... Bbut nevermind that Okay. So. We've hit a bit of a disagreement here. Ccould you tell me why you think hurting people is fine
CROSS(?) EXAMINATION EXPERT TESTIMONY! if someone is hurt, it's because they weren't strong enough to prevent it from happening, or were otherwise found lacking. therefore, it was completely natural & there's no reason to be bothered by it on a *moral* level. sure, i wouldn't care for it to happen to me, or certain individuals i care about - but that's a matter of preference, not an objective moral stance. READING ONTO THE RECORD! this was interestingly difficult to put into words. i suspect cultural differences regarding violence is a much bigger disparity between our two universes than the Rules of Evidence which i cited earlier. culturally & personally, i suspect that i would be qualified as "particularly nihilist" by human st&ards. RE: WHY I THINK HURTING PEOPLE IS FINE! there's nothing wrong with it. (though i admit in that sense at least i do defy a cultural norm: i don't see caste as a particularly defining quality in one troll or another's inherent & inalienable right to shed blood. lowbloods will usually lose against a highblood, but if they win, i think that's fine. i'm woke like that.)
POINT OF ORDER! also, even you conceded that hurting people would only be wrong in "most" cases. ergo there are already situations which we would likely AGREE violence could "hold a moral st&ing". so it is, in fact, capable of all things
It is impo+rtant o+n nights such as these, such as "fight night", that we keep o+ur bulbs o+n the true enemy. We are stro+ng against o+ne ano+ther; imagine ho+w stro+ng we can be to+gether.
