So sorry for your loss
I'm sure she heard you

[OnyxHydra]

Varethyn

I know there's no real good words to say in this situation, so just many, many internet hugs for you in this hard time.

Thank you, both. It means more than you know.
Sadly she passed away over night. I feel awful that I never spoke to her since she left but I got the chance to say good bye. I can only hope she heard me.

Sorry, I've been a bit absent, but I am so sorry for your loss. I am positive that she heard you. Wishing you love, support, and healing.

[Valnaaros]

I'm very sorry for your loss, Var. It is always difficult to lose someone.

[Varethyn]

Thank you all It's really hard as I hadn't spoken to her in many years as she'd remarried for a third time, which I hadn't forgiven her for. And while I managed to get that last phone call in on what turned out to be the final day I can't help but feel guilty for it and realise I'll never get the chance to see her again.

I really did love and miss her. It just never felt like the right time and neither of us liked being the one who had to go first, leaving us in an endless loop of stubborn refusal to call the other.

Do yourselves a favour guys. If you're stuck in a similar rift... just do it. You never know if you'll get that chance again.

[Wain]

Oh Var, I'm so sorry Complicated relationships can make the grief even worse at times. Please take care. *hugs*

[Varethyn]

Late in replying but thank you, Wain The funeral was a couple of weeks ago (hard to think it's gone by so quickly) so I've at least had closure on that now.

New rant. Maybe it's just me being paranoid because of past events but I've now had two, completely unrelated instances of a guy asking me if I'd be interested in creating a specifically female romantic partner for their RP characters; one in WoW/various stuff and one in D&D. It's awkward enough that they specifically want the character to be female when my go-to characters are male elves, but I'm worried it's because I'm female-presenting irl and they're using it as an excuse to try and romance me.

For context I do know these people, being an old WoW GM and my current D&D DM (funny that) respectively. It's just that I've already had to turn down two guys before who tried to flirt with and/or date me (though tbf one was a young kid trying too hard and the other was a nice co-worker I barely knew).

I have been trying to use my art as a way to supplement the family income due to my being disabled. I run 2 etsy stores, redbubble and deviant art . People tell me all the time my stuff is good and yet sales are pretty non existent. I think that speaks louder than words and now am afraid I have wasted the past 3 years. Just seriously depressing.

[Bowno]

I think it's very important to remember that right now a LOT of people are really struggling with money and are not spending it on luxury stuff at the moment.
I don't think it has anything to do with you or your art quality, I think its more because of how the world is still a mess and people are struggling to even afford rent and food.

[Anyia]

I'll second that. In the past I've been able to spend money on nice art, but now that money has gone to inflation and tax and rate rises

finally got the purple bear to spawn with trap.. then another hunter comes and kills it
fianlly get Basilofos, King of the Hill to come down to me.. mid tame another hunter comes down and kill it

in both cases i ask kindly to not attack it and let me tame it.. but noooo.. why are ppl like that

[Renard]

Here's my Rant:

I am a horde beastmaster hunter. I needed Lord Al' whatever his name is (Uldum Rare) for my rares collection. Horde members were parading their alts to try and get the toy even when I asked politely if I could get the tame and even pay gold for them to stand down. Finally, last night I got the tame because an ALLY actually backed off and let me have it. Horde on Misha treat each other like garbage in other things too.

AND why didn't Blizzard allow the pet collection to have an interface like it does now earlier?!!! I had to let go of some pets to make room for others because of that old stable system. Now I have to go get some back.

[Varethyn]

I suffer mild depression and generalised anxiety.
I'm unemployed, struggling to find something because of those features.
I feel like I have no future.
No friends.
My step-mother suffers Alzheimer's, which is progressively getting worse.
She's started physically attacking me when we're together with no supervision.
My mother recently passed away and I am racked with severe guilt for not speaking to her before she fell ill.
I feel alone.
Hated.
Unwanted.
Useless.

I make myself feel better by making other people happy.
I gave you so much art.
So many gifts, including a rare event Pokémon I happened to have multiple of.
We shared stories.
I went out of my way to get stuff for you, to help you progress.
I supported you in your time of need.
You were the best friend I ever had.

Then you abandoned me when I needed you the most.
For an incredibly stupid reason.
Because of a game.

But by all means, I'm the insensitive one for making jokes and trying to cope.

[Ana]

I sooo get that feeling... i had a really weird year that I havent written about much here but I do get you.
Im here if you need a shoulder to cry or shout on

[Dewclaw]

Var. <3

I can relate. I'm a ball of anxiety and so introverted it's not even funny.
