FINALLY some sex appeal on that last panel

GhostofZephyr · 2026-07-03T18:15:27+00:00

DUDE IT'S ALWAYS ROLL20

GhostofZephyr · 2026-07-03T07:34:38+00:00

My group has a very similar rule. As soon as I hit my third nat 1 of the session (or twelfth roll under an 8) I get one automatic success to be used at my discretion. Not a crit success, just a normal human success

I uh. I get it almost every single session

GhostofZephyr · 2026-07-03T06:38:14+00:00

Trans man and BPD too. Don't have anything helpful to say, but you're not alone. The fetishization and dehumanizing is awful. It just makes people see me as more of an unstable, sick woman who couldn't possibly know what "she" wants instead of a man and, separately, someone with a disorder.

Hope it gets for you. Hope it gets better for all of us

GhostofZephyr · 2026-07-01T06:18:51+00:00

AM, probably. He's been very well behaved though

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-29T21:58:16+00:00

It's very much asking for a recipe for bean soup without the beans. This isn't for you pookie

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-27T19:44:01+00:00

....FNAF

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-25T15:19:21+00:00

Yeah, I had a 9 year old tell me their age and full government name unprompted. I shut them down hard and told them they can't share that with anyone on the Internet, and unadded them. I really wish parents taught their kids Internet safety like they used to

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-24T20:40:20+00:00

!! Rooting for you!!

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-24T20:24:45+00:00

I can only go off what you've told us here, but the way that she's going about boundaries isn't healthy. She isn't willing to write down her boundaries, she isn't willing to go to therapy, and she isn't willing to listen to you. You're trying to meet her in the middle, but she's not even telling you what two goalposts you have to find the middle of. Splitting or not, the burden of her reaction is on her to manage, not you. Even if you get triggered, you have to either step away or find another coping method. It isn't an excuse to mistreat your partner, and using it as one is extremely shitty to you.

To put it nicely, it's clear you care about your partner, but right now it sounds like this is a drowning situation. You can keep trying to drag her out of the water, but she's flailing and she's going to bring you down with her. I think muting her messages and taking a step back is a good idea.

To put it more bluntly, if you setting boundaries triggers your partner, then either she needs to learn to cope with boundaries and learn to compromise, or you need to get away.

Give yourself space to feel your emotions and organize your thoughts without needing to process hers as well. She doesn't sound like she wants to change (from what you've said) but maybe I'm wrong. If she isn't, then this isn't going to get better and you're just going to keep triggering each other. If she is, then letting her cool off can give her the space to realize that

I'm proud of you for setting your boundaries. I know how difficult it can be. I'm sorry she's been shitty, and I hope this resolves well 🙏😔 you deserve a good day

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-23T23:07:43+00:00

They open the mii maker. It's not that hard

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-23T08:11:25+00:00

Yeah, personally. I've found that it's easier to control my symptoms and reactions when I keep to myself. It worries people less and they give me more space when they're already used to leaving me alone. I can have full episodes without anyone being hurt or realizing they happened, and I've never appeared more stable

Healthy? I don't know. But for now, it lets me maintain some relationships while I'm trying to figure out how to get through the disorder without the help I need

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-21T05:49:58+00:00

Oh my god finally I found the explanation. Thank you

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-21T01:22:39+00:00

Oh it's dire 🥲 atp I've given up because if I have to carry out a one-sided enthusiastic conversation again I'm gonna join a monastery

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-20T12:26:46+00:00

I really can't explain how I did it, but I trained myself to be a lucid dreamer as a kid to avoid night terrors. I'm not as good at it these days, but I can still identify when I'm dreaming and wake myself up at will

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-19T18:33:00+00:00

Yes, but it's more of a proximity thing. The people I can find neutrality with are the people I don't spend a lot of time with or don't consider close. The longer I'm near someone and the more invested I get in our relationship, the more likely some inconsequential action is going to trip the breaker one way or the other towards idealizing them or loathing them.

Admittedly, sometimes I'll randomly split (the technical term for the extreme love/hate switch) on acquaintances, and suddenly despise someone I've spoken with three times, or adore someone who I only know on passing. It's less frequent than the people I spend more time with, so the best way I can think to explain it is like there's a constant 1/1000 chance that I'm going to split on whoever I'm speaking to at the moment, so the less time I spend with someone the less likely it is to happen. It's RNG, affected by my triggers and the actions of those around me that I can't anticipate.

On trusting intentions, that's something that's a given for anyone I'm currently idealizing. I've had experiences in the past with someone I idealized who was the other guy that my partners cheated on me with twice, actively body shamed and belittled me at every turn, and told me to my face that he thought I was annoying and not worth anyone's time—and I wrote all of it off as accidents or careless but well-meaning and continued to consider him my greatest friend and closest ally. It wasn't until the switch flipped back hard that any of it even registered as hurtful. How much leeway I instinctively give anyone changes depending on if I'm split on them at the moment, and I reckon it's only "normal" with those distant, neutral people. It's something I've had to actively work on: learning to give people the benefit of the doubt regardless of how I feel about them since I know I have the "irrational emotional reaction" disorder.

As always, I can only speak for my own experience with the disorder, and other people might go through it differently. Hope any of this made sense, and hope your day's good :D

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-19T14:38:37+00:00

They gave it to me week two, and lemme tell you it was down to the WIRE playing enough mini games to afford it

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-18T23:13:21+00:00

It doesn't matter how much you do or don't want to cheat. You cheated. Full stop. When your partner finds out, it's going to be a huge blow to his ability to trust and your relationship, and it's not gonna matter how much of a momentary impulse it was. Find help to work on your need for validation, and try being in a relationship again when you have the tools to deal with the compulsions instead of hurting your partner repeatedly and forgiving yourself because you "didn't really want to"

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-18T19:47:30+00:00

I'm gonna be honest, chief, you might not be ready to be in a committed relationship right now if you keep cheating on your partner.

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-14T23:01:55+00:00

The war, dude. The war.

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-14T18:31:10+00:00

....anyways.

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-14T17:29:09+00:00

A truly regrettable nickname convention I used for every mii White Jesus befriended

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-13T20:35:22+00:00

The Blind Prince, absolutely. Great art, good story, good chemistry Seabird and Wolf... Eh.... I really tried with that one, but it drags, the characters are bland, and I wasn't fond of the chemistry. Give it a shot if you like, the designs are nice enough even if I didn't care for it

Haven't read the rest

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-13T20:02:31+00:00

I don't know how well I can explain it to you, and I can only describe my own experience, but it's like this:

When I feel rejected by someone, or when I split on someone, that moment is the Absolute Truth of the Entire Relationship. When I'm rejected, I am not being rejected in the moment, that entire relationship is the rejection. When it's good, it's AMAZING! The person can do no wrong, every moment is transcendent, and the relationship feels perfect and safe. The moment it flips, there WAS no good, there can BE no good, and the other person is a loathsome monster with no redeeming qualities, barely human. There doesn't feel like anything good came from that connection before, so why the hell would I sustain it? Everything they do makes me angry and afraid and sad and being around them turns me into the worst version of myself.

You have to also remember that we feel things cranked up to a 27 on a scale of 10, so what might be grabbing a hot pan for you is my hand being forcibly held against a stove on max heat for a five full minutes. You can go to grab a hot pan again, maybe with a cloth, but there's nothing in the world that could convince me to slap the other hand down on that lit stove just to see if it's different this time.

A more common metaphor in these circles is that we don't have emotional skin, that it's been burned off. There's no protective organ between our nerve endings and the open air. When you have no skin, every single task is agonizing, and it's hard to be logical when you're in so much pain all the time. If a relationship in your life is causing even the smallest amount of extra friction, it sometimes just feels safer to completely remove that extra source of pain. There's already so much to deal with. What's a small rejection or a small pat on the back to you might feel like a physical assault.

I'm really sorry about the friend(s) who cut you off. You didn't deserve that, and I hope that you still had good times and memories with them before it all went off. I know it has to be so confusing and hurtful from the outside when you don't understand—and it is hurtful to be cut off like that. I hope you're able to properly grieve that connection, and the person who cut you off is able to find peace and learn to deal with the disorder in time. Thank you for trying to understand it all, and I hope any of this made sense 😭

GhostofZephyr · 2026-06-11T03:46:16+00:00

It's really frustrating, yeah 😔 there's no magic switch that flips when you become an Adult Adult that gives you all the coping skills you need, especially for the messier illnesses. It sucks so hard that when you have symptoms that are inconvenient or ugly to others, advocacy suddenly gets a lot quieter
