texting meme

You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

ouch 😔 that burns in a whole new way

But is it not the majority that are this way? Humanity is full of ire and greed with few exceptions. Even those pious are not pure and are, perhaps, some of the worst humanity has to offer. The vampires fare no better; they are cruel and unjust. It makes things difficult for someone like me who has no true peers and cannot reconcile the differences within myself.

I understand your decision much better now, though would I be given the choice all over again, I would still make every attempt to dissuade you even knowing it would be in vain. Vlad the Impaler though you may be, Father, you still once opened your heart. There is a part of me that believes you could have ruled both vampires and humans together. I did not get my warm heart from just Mother. Were you not capable of caring, your grief would not run so deeply.

why is this so sad

Yes. They are cruel, stupid, miserable creatures ruled by fear and self-importance. Even your mother acknowledged that fact, to some degree. She never tried to convince me that they were not; only that, with time and intervention, they could be changed. Bettered.

I don't know that I ever truly believed she was right. I would not have sought to better the lives of the Wallachians for their own sake. They were never deserving of such intervention. But it was your mother's wish. And so, for love, I tried.

Your mother showed me that being different is not a barrier to love. Yours is a hard lot, my son — harder than most. But I would not have you change what you are for the sake of being loved. Your mother's love was never conditioned upon change; it only inspired it.

bc it's not actually called castlevania, it's depression: the saddening

I have not tried to change who I am, just find some sort of level ground to walk on to be who I am. I cannot change certain things about myself, so I have always tried to find peace within the warring sides of my being. It is not easy.

You could have gone anywhere you wished. Why did you stay in Wallachia? You and Mother could have started over somewhere else. Perhaps things would not have turned out the way they have.

She would not leave Lupu. And the interplay of politics necessitated that I remain in what was known to be the seat of my power.

You have seen firsthand, I believe, the vacuum of power that has resulted without me. So too it would have been, had we abandoned Wallachia.

ah. u win. that is perfect

[cruciform]

I suppose I'm just giving in to selfish flights of fancy and focusing too much on the what-ifs. It's much too late to change anything now.

Indeed. The past is the past, for better or for worse.

Your future, however, still lies uncharted.

[cruciform]

I feel as if the same can be said for the future: for better or worse. However, it just seems ass things will continue on this track of "worse."
