okay so i have some questions for the general public
which is you guys

first: if you sent someone to jail on their birthday but they probably forgave you should you be worried that they or a family member is gonna
i don't know
come after you
or something like that
not that it happened
but hypothetically i guess

second: anyone have any thoughts on being called "puppy"?
is it a compliment?
an insult?
i kind of need some outside opinions here

uhhh
yeah that's it
thanks

"Live for them, instead. If they love you, they wouldn't want to see you die, regardless of whether it was for them or not." A human told me that once. Not in so many words, but — still, I've never forgotten it.

I think I understand, though. The type of person you'd like to find.

[grilletto]

well living would be preferable if i'm being honest
but if it meant that someone i cared about was safe i wouldn't think twice about it

you do, though?
like...you mean you just get it or do you know that feeling?
i don't want to really pry or anything

and maybe i guess i just never really thought about it this much
it's more been man this sucks everyone else has something or someone
and usually i talk to a friend about this kind of stuff
but i don't want to bother him since he's still kind of dealing with things
i didn't think talking to a stranger would be this
i don't know, useful i guess?

[roseblooms]

Oh, I've met someone like that. Almost to a tee, really — perhaps not quite honest and not altogether sweet, but good. Noble. The sort of person who believes in people whose sins don't warrant even a fraction of such faith. The sort of person who speaks their mind, and holds to their convictions, and makes the people around them better just for having known them.

And I've also met the person who the person I'm describing is going to marry, almost beyond a shadow of a doubt. So.

[grilletto]

huh wild
that's pretty cool
i think if we're talking about sins and whether they deserve this level of loyalty that's probably more situational
you know? so if you can see something there
something that tells you who they are at the core or whatever
then that's what matters
i don't always think it's what someone's done in the past if that makes sense?
it matters what they do with the present, yeah?

[roseblooms]

I'd like to believe so. There is, after all, no changing the past — only moving forward into the future.

Still, perhaps some things are too egregious to ever be forgiven. I wouldn't know.

[grilletto]

yeah that's true
hey
thanks by the way
you don't even know me and you still let me keep talking
you didn't have to do that
you could have blocked me or something

[roseblooms]

Consider it paying a favor forward, really. I'm no stranger to the notion of...simply wanting someone to talk to.

[grilletto]

yeah i get that too
i mean obviously
i'd tell you that you could talk to me whenever you want
but then i'd have to tell you who i am
which i can do just privately
i've already been called out once and so far i haven't made any mistakes this time by logging in
