I know Eight was dumped by “that” guy, and I know you’re angry at him for other reasons, like Carmen, and for leaving so suddenly, but shouldn’t you try to fondly remember someone who was a good friend? Sometimes people have to leave without saying goodbye, for good reasons, for their own health. It’s best to remember them fondly. It’s no good letting their legacy stagnate, nor is it good to think of things that can’t be changed, faults that can’t be addressed. They’re gone, y’know? Let it go…

* he wasn’t.

* he was a goddamn coward that roped people into his bullshit, caused an ENTIRE TIMELINE to go haywire, and then for what? he ended up just being more of a problem, dumping eight, and then fucking off to god knows where leaving an entire sanctuary of people wondering where, and why.

* i couldn’t give less of a shit about him or his “legacy”. maybe i’m being a little harsh, but i don’t want to think or talk about him more than this and i’m done doing so. please don’t ask about him again.

Who do you like better Flaps? Carmen or Carmine? Carmen’s been a good Sans….he’s been pretty depressed over a bunch of shit lately. His life hasn’t been good to him, his happy ending not so happy, but he made the right choice in the end, unlike Carmine….let’s just say Carmine isn’t the greatest person ever, and you’ll probably find out someday. Be careful around him. I’d tell you more, but I don’t think Runiel would want me to stress you out, what with all you’ve been through as of late….

* hey, so, uh, not to be rude, but.

* fuck you?

* I like them both the same. you can get out of here with this crap about “he made the right choice/carmine isn’t a great person” or whatever else. people give him enough shit. 

* he’s been lonely. both of them have. i mean.

* i know what carmine’s done, i’ve had conversations with him about it a couple of times. he’s been here a couple of times. and people like you going around and shitting on him to other people is just despicable????

* yeah, he’s in with a crowd i’m not happy about. yeah, he’s been doing some pretty fucked shit, but you know what? at least he’s not ALONE anymore. i’ve been watching carmens timeline for as long as i’ve known about him and i KNOW that things have been falling apart over there.

* i know that he was lonely, and upset, and the parasite gave him some way to connect with people again. and i’m not going to fault him for that, because you know what? in a situation like that, i’d be tired of being alone too.

* so – maybe think on this a little. there are a lot of things out of our control and guilting carmine for his choices is really the shittiest way to go about it. i mean, for gods sake, carmine’s around because carmen was so torn about this in the first place.

* i’m not going to tolerate you coming in here just to turn me more in the favor of one over the other. they’re both still carmen. I still care deeply about the both of them, and that isn’t going to change no matter WHAT happens.

* maybe i’m not happy with the choices, no, but i’m not about to up and abandon either of them, ESPECIALLY not now. steadfast friends are something they both need and i’m more than happy to provide that for them.

Do you have any advice for people that have the same problem that you and Flaps are trying to overcome? I think many of us would benefit from advice and positivity, but only if you are able to offer it.

* this has been sitting a while – runi wanted me to be able to answer this one myself.

* i think something really important to remember is like…. don’t overextend yourself. you can only do so much – and even then, you aren’t obligated to push yourself so far for other people.

* i know that sounds fairly harsh – and i know a lot of you will probably see this and think something along the lines of “well, that can’t mean THIS, x person NEEDS me and i’m the ONLY ONE who can do xyz”

* and man let me tell you!!! i’ve been there! i’m stuck thinking that all the time. it sucks putting that much pressure on yourself because then you’re always trying to prove – whether to just yourself or to other people – that you CAN do everything, that you can fix all of everyone’s problems

* but the thing is – you can’t. you won’t EVER be able to be, like…. The One that Solves Everything and Saves The Day, Every Day. it’s unfortunately extremely unrealistic – and not only that, but holding yourself to a standard like that is only gonna bring about a lot of hell for you.

* this isn’t me saying that you shouldn’t help out where you can, though! there’s definitely merit in being helpful, in being there for your friends and all that – but the important thing here is to know your own limits and step back when you need to step back. overextending helps no one in the end, and you aren’t solely responsible for taking care of everyone in your circle personally.

* don’t be afraid to tell people that you can’t help, or that you need some time to yourself. i know it’s hard – really hard in some situations – but pushing yourself too far past your limits never ends well.

Hm, interesting…what were your first impressions of Cubesy, then? What do you think was the cause of his change, and the cause of Eight’s bad change? I think in both cases, it had to do with positive influences from those they loved…or lack thereof.

* i was pretty suspicious of him at first, tbh. he was rude and had unclear motives and i was pretty content to keep my distance, but….

* he ended up being pretty chill. and i’d like to think that i’m friends with him.

* i think you’re spot on, though. cubsey ended up having a lot of positive influences, but….. eight got dropped on his ass by. you know.

* that guy. >_> and he was more or less put through the ringer consistently since then. i’m not surprised things changed the way they did, but i am disappointed.

Why’d you stop making food for other people, Flaps? Was it because people were mean about it? I hope you’re still comfortable making food for yourself and those close to you…you’re a good chef from what I’ve heard!

* i haven’t stopped! 😛 people just stopped asking. i like providing food for others – and i still do actively, like, offer those services, but my pool of people to offer that is kinda small atm.

* if anyone wanted, though, i definitely wouldn’t mind cooking for them. i’d just need to be asked, yknow.

How you doing Flaps? I missed you so much, and so did everyone else! (*hugs Flaps tightly) How much do you remember of your time as a dragon?

* [He seems a little averse to the hug, but he hugs back after a moment.]

* i’m glad to hear i was missed. 😛

* i don’t…. remember a ton of specifics. i know i attacked a couple of people, and it was generally pretty difficult for mostly everyone to deal with me, but nothing super specific yet.

* aside from, uh. attacking proph. but we’ve been cuddling nearly constantly so i’m going to assume they forgive me for that,

Why did you two even like Eight in the first place? He was always a grumpy bastard, wasn’t he? I guess his homicidal tendencies weren’t too obvious before…just as Cubesy’s nicer tendencies weren’t either…I guess it takes a while to learn of a person’s true colors…

* it does, yeah.

* i know that as far as i go – early on, and still… pretty much currently? i like to be as friendly as i can and i met eight right as i was first getting communications set up.

* but that’s pretty accurate. and people change, so people’s opinions will change as well. i don’t think eight was this, uh. homicidally driven in the beginning. grumpy as all hell, yeah, but. you know.

* he changed for the worse as cubesy changed for the better, from our perspective.
