Hey everyone. I hope you had a fun festival. (´｡• ω •｡`)

I saw some people lose their bracelets during that time, and it makes me really worried about other Moonblessed. Do you have someone you can contact if it gets... bad? I'm pretty lucky in that regard, but I don't know if everyone else is. And some people are young, which makes me even more worried about what might happen. Nobody chose to be here. So you shouldn't have to be put in a position where you feel that desperate, alone, and in pain.

And also, it's only happened twice that I've seen for folks, but... some people turn into full animals. What about people who are jellyfish? Will they just transform, alone, and die? I should talk to the researchers about this. It's pretty messed up.

I guess what I'm trying to say is be safe. It feels really shameful when it's happening, but it's not your fault. I'm an older guy and I've been through a lot and I don't want others to have to do it, too.

when you say shameful
do you mean due to not being able to do something about it

[codecmoment]

You know how people get drunk and act out?
I was contacted and asked how to block posts from being made during moonphases.
Like you're embarrassed by what's going on with you. How you feel and behave.

[prizeneck]

what
does it really make people lose it that much

[codecmoment]

I mean... it can get violent, from what I understand.

[prizeneck]

yeah i got first-hand experience at that
great welcome committee there


wasn't aware it would make people more upfront on this system though

[codecmoment]

It definitely has a range of effects. People are affected differently, though - I got cuddly, but some people get really rowdy.

[prizeneck]

cuddly

[He's using voice-to-text here so he may be going "wtf" or he's just making sure he heard right]

does it affect people's energy levels

[codecmoment]

I definitely think so. I'm very cuddly and affectionate and overly friendly, while I'm actually pretty shy in person. My partner got really aggressive.

[prizeneck]

huh
so fatigue can be a symptom
fucking figures

[codecmoment]

I mean, it seems to be, uh, hunger, which is the opposite of fatigue...

[prizeneck]

depends on how hungry you are

hm
indulgences overall then
