Things will get worse before they get better.
I would say less I'm worried and more that I'm braced for it.
goalsides: (And all this really means is)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-19 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
even if it means more people are going to probably get possessed or whatever...?

I don't mean that we should just lie over passively.
But if you know it's a possibility, then you might as well prepare your heart for it. Then, you'll be able to handle it if it occurs, rather than break down.
goalsides: (It's been one week since)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-19 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah i get it
people are still breaking down at executions
so how can we help prepare people for the possibilities of what's coming next?
i'm not saying you have to give me specific answers i'm just...wondering, i guess
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-19 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
There probably isn't a general answer for something like that. How people respond will depend on their own life experiences, so what works for one might not work for another.
goalsides: ('til you say you're sorry)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-19 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
what's the hugo method of preparation then? just out of curiosity
inaccordant: (22. art. neutral)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-19 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
My methods won't help anyone.
goalsides: (And I'll never get bored)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-19 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
what if i want to know anyway?
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-19 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Figure out what are things you need to live and what you could move on without.
You don't have to settle, and it's fine to be greedy. But it helps to be self-aware enough to know how you'll react to loss, as it's inevitably a part of living.
goalsides: (It's been one week since)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
...i don't see how that can't be applicable to everybody but i get what you're saying
we all have to pick and choose sometimes don't we?
this school still has things we've gained and lost. so..it's a thought
inaccordant: (22. art. neutral)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's not something a lot of people will want to do, and not everyone will find it simple to do within a short timeframe.
In the end, what you've gained and what you've lost can sometimes be mind over matter.
goalsides: (But I know someone who has)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
let me ask you this
do you feel like you've gained anything by being here?
inaccordant: (5. dawn)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I would rather it be me here than someone else. So, yes.
goalsides: (In the shape of an "L" on her forehead)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
being self-sacrificing isn't exactly what i meant, but if that works for you...
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
There wasn't much for me to lose in the first place.
Like I said, I'm not a good metric to use.
goalsides: (Which makes me wonder if I could)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
you know i like to ask anyway
i'd kind of prefer you didn't die for us even if you have experience though


[this is not a suggestion this will happen he's just vaguely /stares into the sun about hugo's memory still.]
inaccordant: (4. light ahead)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
If I become a threat, get rid of me.
I told you weeks before that that's what I'd prefer, even before the entire thing about villains became relevant.
goalsides: (I've never had to knock on wood)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[a very long delay.]

i know.
if that's what it comes to, i will


[he was just kind of hoping he wouldn't ever have to make that choice again????]

even if there's a chance to save you?
inaccordant: (5. dawn)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm already gone. I would rather die than be made to hurt someone against my will.
goalsides: (You looked at me)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
...then i'll respect your choice
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
If I could, I'd rather just kill myself. I don't think that'd go over well, though.
goalsides: (Since you looked at me)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
uh considering people care about you and also you're a dorm head, no, killing yourself wouldn't go over that well
and if something happens to you i doubt it'd be that easy anyway
inaccordant: (22. art. neutral)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I mean by it not going over well. Considering what this world wants, I doubt it would make any difference if I did, one way or another.
goalsides: (And said I'm sorry)

[personal profile] goalsides 2021-07-20 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
we'll make it work
whatever it is
i don't want to give this world what it wants
but we'll do what we have to and what's best for everybody
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-20 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It might not be satisfying, but sometimes, working with the enemy to some degree is the best way to end things. So you're not wrong.
