Question: If someone tells you to do whatever's necessary in order to ensure you don't crystalise from chroma deprivation, what does that mean to you?

Isn't that a reminder to keep up physical contact with people? Hugs, held hands, other things maybe.

It means exactly that: whatever is necessary. Bare minimum of contact still counts.

For the most part, I've been holding out my hand for anyone who needs it.

[ ... ]

It means exactly as you said: To do whatever is necessary. There are limits, of course, but I would think that a reminder like that means that you should attempt to moonlace even if doing so [ is awkward? ] doesn't come along naturally.

Did someone say this to you? You should ask that person directly what they meant. The meaning of advice like that can vary depending on who gave it to you.

Well...be responsible, I guess! Make sure you're not overdoing it with your spending or anything, and spend time with people you trust every so often to make sure you build some back up again!

Mm, and I guess don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone a little? It might be a little weird to hold hands with someone you've never met before, sure, but if it's just for Chroma, I don't think there has to be anything embarrassing about it, you know?

I'd only say that to someone that'd I'd really mean it for. And 'whatever's necessary' would be what the person chooses, or needs, or can't do without. We can start with those.

fuckin gives you the biggest boost
it's like a defib for someone going into crystal shock basically
just fingerblast em or whatever
not that hard

though fighting and other physical contact works

any and all physical contact. whatever they're comfortable with.

Seek out physical contact. Ideally with someone you get along with, but if you are chroma starved, anyone willing.

To me it means don't let yourself get so close that it becomes dangerous in the first place. Do little things through the day to make sure you don't get too low, like shake the hand of every new friend you make, or give hugs to the people in your life that are important to you.

It also tells me that that "someone" is thinking enough about my well being to make sure I don't get careless, which is a nice thought.

usually physical contact. holding hands, hugging, etc.

"do whatever's necessary" makes it sound like you're dealing with someone too stubborn to moonlace at all...
so i'd say it means anything at all ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
if you can't get someone to hold hands or hug then they're not going to do anything else, are they (｡・ω・｡)?

It sounds like they care about you, and want to make sure that you take care of yourself. That they want to take care of yourself and stay healthy.

My intention in saying as much would be that, so yes, it's what I would mean, but not necessarily what everyone hearing would understand. Thank you for your response on the matter.

Have you experienced many difficulties in either understanding another Moonblessed's intentions or in keeping you or your friends chroma levels in safe zones?

That was my understanding, but it's been made apparent to me this isn't the case for everyone. Thank you for your response on the matter.

Which is a kindness and largess I applaud you for. It's one I hope most of us would be capable of, in assisting each other. Voluntarily, of course.

In this case, it's a statement I gave to another, who had taken it in specific ways I hadn't anticipated. My intention was of the sort you described, with respect to an individual's limits. Thank you for your response on this matter.

It's also true the meaning of advice changes on the giver, but I would further suggest it changes depending on the preconceptions of the receiver, as well... and only in discussing is it resolved or even highlighted.

Yes. Most Moonblessed are far more liberal with their affection than what I am comfortable with. I do what I can for survival, but I don't enjoy it.

I agree, while it may be weird or strange or uncomfortable, it doesn't need to be something to feel ashamed or deeply embarrassed about.

As for the rest, that would be what I personally would indeed mean by issuing such a statement, but I've found that the reception changes from person to person. Thank you for giving me your insight into this.

My stance on who to say such too is the same. As is what it encompasses, which is good to have corroborated by those other than myself.

I hadn't realised what individual interpretations might colour the statement to sound like until relatively recently.

Yes, these are all accurate and potential ways to handle that situation. Not the ones I'd intended as a first thought, but valid.

[ in other words: he sees where strawberryshortcake is coming from, and specifically, who else could be coming from that point of view. ]

Generally speaking, with the Moonblessed you've interacted with, do you believe they'd think along similar lines? Logically speaking, it is indeed the largest source of single session moonlacing chroma generation.

That was my intent when I made such a statement, and I thank you for your response. Understanding what different perspectives may lend to such a remark has been helpful.

Have you encountered many miscommunications on the subjects of moonlacing or chroma?

This would be my intention with such a statement, but I've come to understand that different perspectives can interpret it different ways. Thank you for your response.

Would you say you've encountered many instances of miscommunications where moonlacing is involved?

Thank you for your response. This is much of what I would mean in making such a statement, but I've come to understand that different perspectives means the intention is understood in different ways.

Would you say you've encountered misunderstandings with other Moonblessed when it comes to your understandings of what each other expect with regards to moonlacing?

That would be my intention when it comes to making such a statement. Thank you for your response, it's helping clarify the ways in which individuals understand those words and what they mean.

Have you encountered many issues of miscommunication when it comes to Moonblessed on the subject of moonlacing or chroma needs?
