Don't know what that compass shit means. Take it you're someone that can be in love with a lotta folk at once?

From:

everythinglost

It means that whatever else I do, whoever else I love, part of me will always be with them. It doesn't mean I don't love other people, it's just not the same and couldn't take anything away.

From:

madaboutit

You think monogamy's bullshit then?

From:

everythinglost

Not at all, you shouldn't be so black and white about these things. It's not for some people, but that's true for everything. I wouldn't even put myself in that category, I've had monogamous relationships and enjoyed them.

It's like sexuality.

From:

madaboutit

Still working on that one too. Faerie tend to lean into hard lines even in the loopholes.

From:

everythinglost

One of the many ways it can be easier to be human. Though the faerie I've run into ave been quite good at leaning into those loopholes. Maybe the benefit of high rank.

But even if you hold hard lines for yourself, it's clear you know it's not the same for other people. Other people's take on monogamy doesn't make yours bullshit, anymore than someone else not liking rules means your rules no longer exist.

From:

madaboutit

More breed than rank. No one wants to deal with someone that constantly fucks them over. As for different lines, ain't gonna argue. I'm just stuck living in a world that constantly tells me I'm wrong and need to change to succeed. And be happy.

From:

everythinglost

That explains it, I would meet the real dick heads. At least you aren't alone, the world constantly telling you that you're wrong and need to change for success or happiness - that was every day growing up.

I decided to pick 'fuck them', though that's harder when your life is on the line.

From:

madaboutit

Me too. Just hard when that shit might be keeping me from graduating.

From:

everythinglost

What do you think you need to graduate?

From:

madaboutit

Fuck if I know. Keep trying shit. Everyone says talk about your shit, but everytime I start to, I lose that person. Don't have it in me to just do it with anyone.

You?

From:

everythinglost

Change my mind on what's important in life, probably. Love someone else, maybe. Really, the same old story.

I think the important question is: did you end up here because you didn't talk to people?

From:

madaboutit

Divine intervention and a spear to the chest.

From:

everythinglost

An impressive direct cause. But what got you into that situation?

From:

madaboutit

Made a deal with a cunt without reading the fine print.

From:

everythinglost

How I figure it, you can sometimes see the way out based on what got you in.

Sometimes there's no clue.

Fun little game.

From:

madaboutit

Cunt's dead. Coin's gone. Don't see much else to do.

From:

everythinglost

Sometimes you look back and realize the steps the lead along the way to your death that maybe involve things that you should've chosen differently.

Sometimes a rock fell on your head and you died.

The wonder of life.

From:

madaboutit

You mean all the shit that was decided for me by humans to be a fucking moral to their fucking stories?

From:

everythinglost

Probably not, as I have no idea what you mean.

From:

madaboutit

Been a lotta things before I was a leprechaun. All of them have been believed into existence by humans to serve whatever purpose they want at the time. Those stories come with some fucked up bullshit because I ain't always a hero.

From:

everythinglost

Bro. I mean that you, personally, can look back. I have no idea what anyone else things about it. I was never into stories with morals.

From:

madaboutit

It's fine

I'll try

Just tired

From:

everythinglost

I get it

[He really does, though he tries not to get into it too often.]

Honestly, last time I was here, I don't know that I was really managing to try that often. Things ended badly - I don't just mean the dying - and I wasn't sure I had anything to go back to.
