Anyway, I have tried. And all it did was lead to what we have now. This wasn’t our first argument; it’s just the one I’ve decided trying to fix was a waste of time.
This feud we’ve been having is like a plumbing leak that’s progressively getting worse; sure, I could theoretically patch it up with duct tape again… but it’ll just break it even faster than last time. All that happens is a waste of water, tape, and time. Might as well just get a new pipe… a new friend…
I have no ill-will towards you. If stuff goes well on your end, I’m be happy for you! Just… I don’t want to keep being friends. It’s not good for me, and I doubt it’s good for you from what I’ve seen.
To everyone who’s not Esther reading this, I’d rather you not try and “fix” this. You’ll just waste your energy.
Also… one last note… Esther, I’d like you to speak for yourself. Not hide your thoughts behind a character so you can trick yourself into believing they’re not yours. Not like you’ve listened to any of my advice anyway.

I'm not "hiding behind a character" with Erven's post. Those were my thoughts, just worded in a way only Erven can calmly do. If I tried wording some of my thoughts myself, it would have been much worse.
If you really want to hear me and just me talk, fine, here.
The amount of headaches I've had today from crying, the amount of anger at myself I've been trying to keep under control, I can't keep going like this. I just want to fix this.
To use your analogy on my end, if there's a leak, you don't use duct tape, you call a plumber. In other words, you ask someone to act as a communication point, instead of trying to communicate on your own. As a bonus comparison, Esther and Marth don't always directly speak to each other when they have questions for each other; instead, they bring those questions to Elisen (the communication point in this example, as he's a mutual friend of the two), and he passes them along to the other person, then brings the answer back to the person that asked the question, so there won't be possible hostility during the conversation (and so the conversation won't get sidetracked for no reason, yes this happens to them sometimes).
I've lost enough friendships, I only have one shoulder left to cry on and that's Elemental's shoulder. I hate myself more than anything.
I don't want to lose yet another friend, especially not you. You're one of the few people I was willing to trust with my issues, and one of the only people in that category left on TCF. Elemental I still trust, but I only talk to him through Discord these days because some events in 2023 made him leave the forums. Similar things apply to a few others that I'm still willing to trust with issues I have.
I hate having to hide this from my IRL friends, I've been scared for the past 6 hours that one of them will voice call me and notice me in tears. I don't want to worry him, but I also wouldn't want to just not pick up the call.
I've genuinely been alternating between emotionlessly working on my reference sheet, having a complete meltdown, and being furious at myself for
ing this up so badly....It just feels like you're barely even giving me a chance to explain my problems anymore...

Alright. I'll negotiate, but we will have to discuss the root issues of our feud if we want this time to be any different.I'm not "hiding behind a character" with Erven's post.

...might also be wise to move this discussion from Moss' OOC thread.

I'm not sure if I have emotional space left today to talk, so tomorrow may be a smarter day. For now I need alone time, I just want to focus on the reference sheet at the moment and make as much progress on it as I can before I have to sleep.
I'll leave the discussion in this thread here, best to move somewhere else, and like I said, it's safest to have a communication point instead of trying to talk one-on-one.

But, if this rift shall ever be mended, this talk must happen eventually. For now, just relax.

Name: Fallacy Logic
Nicknames (Optional):
Gender: Female
Text Identification: #67EE76
Appearance:
Personality: If the argument has proper reasons for her to trust, no matter if it's true or false, she will trust it. She doesn't stand stallions (anything but equine males are alright). Somewhat flirty when seeing exotic creatures.
Equipment (Optional): A modified revolver, fit for equine use. However, it has mostly a ceremonial use. She also has a black scarf on her.
Theme (Optional): Aviators - Bad Luck
Backstory (Optional): Well, good thing I didn't migrate to AO3, so my incomplete fanfic doubles as her backstory.
Abilities: Let's just say, she has her wild magic - in her case it's based on luck. However, if she gets too lucky too often without natural luck, she will hit an overdraft and her next action, no matter how innocuously small, will end up being unlucky.
[Mechanically it works like this: She can have failed roll rerolled twice within an encounter, three times per RP-hour with no consequences. Any more than that, she is forced to take a 0 next action she takes. She can also take a bad roll (the worst she has) in place of good roll to delay the overdraft, up to twice per RP-hour.
=> 0 : Mechanically even worse than nat 1, a horrific failure caused by trying to tempt the fate too much. Even a tiny action will end horrifyingly wrong.]
Strengths: Pretty tough nut to break, both in gambling and physically. She knows her odds well, after all. Also, her kicks pack a punch.
Weaknesses: What'dya know, convincing lies/conspiracy theories will act like catnip to her. And she won't believe weak-worded truths. She's not a lie detector. She's not really dextrous either with fine objects - requiring equine-fit finer tools (Tools of physical labor like pickaxes are fine for her to handle, it's only human guns where she can't use them without special horseshoes/bands).
Height (Optional): 1.73m high / 2.58m long
Weight (Optional): 133.1 kg
Other Info (Optional): So this is original Fallacy, just in SoulSwap. Not to be mistaken with Fractals!Fallacy, as that one has odds stacked against her.
