egg raising - AlcheME!

[idolpro]

[ Your cavern offshoot is still rather spacious, even with a human-sized egg pressed to the farthest cave wall. It's also surprisingly accommodating: the ground here is carpeted with lush rugs as well as pillows and blankets.

The egg is surrounded by a number of colorful smooth stones, most small enough to hold in one palm. There are eight colors in total, though multiple of each color. Hold a stone and you'll be compelled to speak honestly about the corresponding emotion.

You'll quickly find that your offshoot seems to have reduced echo, or perhaps even sound muffling—from here, you can't hear anyone from any other unit offshoot, and you suspect they can't hear you, either. ]

ANGER

Re: ANGER

[doublefried]

Okay! We can go over this one again. You never actually make me angry so I guess, just general anger feelings? It's rare for me but when people overreact to what they THINK I want and ignore what I ACTUALLY am telling them... we went over this before, I think. It's really frustrating and honestly kind of condescending? Like, okay, tell me what I feel again, I guess.

[featherbeaned]

It's so fun when people think they know better than you about your past and your feelings.

[doublefried]

Especially when you're telling them, and they act like you're lying to them! Like, come on. If you're not gonna believe what I say why are we talking at all?

[featherbeaned]

Augh, that.

"You need to talk about this." Literally I do not, it already happened and talking isn't gonna change it! If I thought talking would help I wouldn't need someone else to tell me to do it.

You and the others got it right that one time - you know, when I took a few and you all just brought me snacks? You nailed it.

[doublefried]

Sometimes you just need a snack to deal with processing! Like, I've talked about them before... and sometimes it does help to set your head right, but usually if I don't start talking about it it's because I don't want to, y'know?

[featherbeaned]

[ nods emphatically ]

The important thing, I'd say, is asking ... Like! Like, there's such a difference between, "you need to talk" and "do you want to talk", isn't there?

[doublefried]

Yeah! There's 'hey, do you want to discuss how you feel about this?', and then there's sort of sliding up, assuming you know what the deal is, and then bothering the person until they act the way you think they should be acting.

You've never pissed me off either ... which! For the record! [ The baby dragon record - ] I'd tell you if you had, communication's important.

I get angry when people don't respect my boundaries. Like when they pick me up without asking first, or when they yank my tail ... or tell me how I should think or feel about something ... or when they try to make me do something I don't wanna ...

If it's something I actually prob'ly really should do, we can, like, we can talk about it. I have boundaries, but I can compromise if I've really gotta.

Re: ANGER

[doublefried]

Boundaries! It's important! Because like, also, if you don't have them it can be a little bit like... 'okay, I'll always agree with you, but resent you', and then it builds up and gets bad.
