[some of you may have seen this relatively new number replying to other posts for a bit (and if you have you've seen how weird the owner is) but most of you probably haven't. either way Nyah's making a post now as if she's always been here, no introduction or other newbie-related stuff included. she figures it's not really important to the narrative if she's doing some information scouting]

important question
how many of you are reincarnated lovers?
if you could specify if you were also tragic and to what degree in your past life thatd be super helpful
im trying to figure out which genres this whole thing isnt trying to play with and romance is a big fat question mark right now
if it does end up being relevant then im going to wash my hands of this whole thing from a creative perspective i swear
what a clunky thing to have to deal with



also
unrelated to the first question, but
throw some mythologies that feature malevolent entities with major canine characteristics at me?
im looking to expand my horizons on that front

It does sound kind of scary! It's bad enough that you had to deal with that once already!

If there are heroes here, there have to be villains. Do you think? But who are the villains? [It's not a very nice thought, really. She doesn't like the idea that someone might be consigned to that role.]

theres always going to be someone in an opposite alignment to you
not only is it vital to produce conflict to move things along its required for general spiritual balance
id imagine that the villains here are just people
just like the heroes

[clawkind]

different world, different morals
its so super common to run into but when its personal you kind of feel differently about it
but i think youre right
you can acknowledge it and learn from it even if you dont want to completely become that same person
itd be silly not to take every opportunity to learn something new really

[vetala]

Were you training for this before or after the Number Club?

[vaimo]

They are! I'm sure of that at least. Things are never black and white, not in real life.

[clawkind]

before, of course

[somehow there's a very big sense of 'duuuuuuuuh' accompanying this simple text response]

[clawkind]

not in fictional life either, if the writer knows what theyre doing
you need to layer depth onto everyone to make for a really engaging story

[shineonyou]

i

hate
reading. no way no how. can you just do that and give me the sparknotes? i'd pay you.

[clawkind]

i dont need money
besides if you dont personally experience it then youre never going to be familiar enough to pick them out in real life
so enjoy getting tied down to a helpless damsel reincarnated love interest i guess

[shineonyou]

hey
what if like
the helpless damsel reincarnated love interest was myself???
like i was my own love interest? you know, two souls in one body? is that a cliche? can i have that cliche?

[clawkind]

if that actually happened then itd probably manifest itself as a split personality
and its 98% likely that the other personality will be psychotic
so
yeah you can have it if you want to deal with a serial killer in your mind that badly

1/2

[shineonyou]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHH fine i'll start my research now.

[shineonyou]

starting with space jam.
you ready slam, nyah?

[clawkind]

i guess so?
id probably be better at jamming but whatever you need to get this thing started

[ursoreckless]

yeah that's what i say
we can learn from them and maybe take something and make it better for them without becoming them but
i think that it would be hard
harder than playing a game because it is just not us but another us

[clawkind]

anything worth doing isnt going to be easy
but its not so bad
whatever their story was, its over now
even if we decide to try and make things better for their memory in this new life its still our story at the core

[ursoreckless]

[...]

yeah
i know
we'll figure it out
i think that is what everyone needs to remember is that we can be the best of both ourselves and our others
people get caught up in the past drama and we shouldn't
we should make things ours

[vetala]

You're serious.

[and somehow there is a sense of 'r u 4 real' accompanying that response.]

[clawkind]

itd be pretty stupid if i werent

[clawkind]

exactly
its tempting but getting sucked up into the things that happened in a past that isnt even completely yours is how you get cyclical revenge shit and other similarly bad stuff
you have to keep yourself, whatever else you take on

[vetala]

So exactly what do these lessons entail, if you don't mind my asking?

Yeah it's a big mess of complicated.
I'll hit you p if I remember something more about my love life.
If I can't make heads or tails of it maybe you can help.

[clawkind]

it depends on what im specifically looking to do that day
but mostly its just opening up my spiritual awareness and strengthening my third eye
meditation
quartz gazing
getting in touch with my totem animal
just basic stuff really

text; private

[clawkind]

oh yeah you totally should
new perspectives can be pretty useful, especially when youve been staring at something forever
and i know enough themes that i think i should at least be moderately helpful
either way id still be down for that

[vaimo]

That sounds really difficult! People have so many layers!

I never thought about how hard it must be to write a story like that.
