Butterfly's mad at hers so maybe it spreads or something.

Permalink

Snuggle. That's not how it works. And I don't think "mad" would be a very good description of her attitude anyway.

Permalink

What would?

Permalink

If it has to be one word maybe 'bitter'?

Permalink

I don't think I'd want people being bitter at me either.

Permalink

That's fair.

Permalink

Or thinking that that's what I'd do in the same situation, because that's kind of how alts work.

Permalink

It kind of is. He's a very different species, so that makes it a little less directly reflective, but yeah.

Permalink

He's not that different. Not much bigger than the differences between Elves and humans or half-Vulcans and humans.

Permalink

I think it'll affect how people think of it some, but yeah.

Permalink

 

I guess that's good, if it means people won't think their ones would do that.

Permalink

It at least means they won't be sure of it and pretty much all of them have earned enough benefit of the doubt to cover it.

Permalink

I could tell Firayar that he should tell people for that reason but it'd make him really stressed and sad. Like all of the worries about people judging you got multiplied because now you have to worry about them judging ten of you.

Permalink

I think I probably don't understand the thing about people judging you and it sounds important.

Permalink

It's just - if people hate me, then they're right and I'm wrong - not just wrong about a thing, a wrong person - and shouldn't exist. Except I can sometimes pretend it's okay if they're just people who don't matter to me.

Permalink

What makes it so they're right?

Permalink

Uh, if they have good reasons, or if I tried to convince them and I failed, or if they're people who matter to me.

Permalink

So it's safer if people don't matter to you.

Permalink

Yeah. Once they do if they ever decide to stop then everything's horrible forever so if it seems like that might be happening it's terrifying.

Permalink

Squeeze. Definitely forever, no doing anything about it?

Permalink

Dunno. The married mes whose wives are mad at them seem functional so maybe they have something figured out. But they're definitely less happy.

Permalink

Haven't asked them?

Permalink

It would definitely make them sad to bring it up.

Permalink

Makes sense. And trying to convince somebody not to hate you is sort of like deciding they matter, because if you're bothering at all...

Permalink

Yeah, exactly.
