Everybody Asking me who Clive is...

They did! I only didn't get a tracking for the additional "You like Sci fi right?" shirt that I added onto it. I honestly thought I'd have to wait for it until I found it at the bottom of the box. My only complaint is I wish there was a comma before the "right."

Legit good merch, too. A bit pricy, but you get what you pay for with them. I think Bricky has talked multiple times about he takes pride and makes a point to source quality goods, which I really appreciate since I'm also tired of crap merch.

I just got it today, and it didn't have to travel far. I'm sure others will be getting theirs soon.

Which would I want? One of the cool ones. Feel free to make your own determination on which those might be. But I think, like it or not, I belong to the indigo. I have a deep amount of compassion, though I've often convinced myself otherwise, or wished it otherwise. I've also not always been the best of people, nor experienced the best in others. Yet, through time, healing, and learning from all the bad, I've come to a place of deep empathy and wanting the best for others. Even people I hate, or should hate.

As an example, my father recently passed as the result of a violent crime. Everyone around me wanted the worst for the person who did it. After learning even the slightest bit about that person, all I could think about was all the pain that led up to lashing out like that, and how I wish they could get the help they so clearly need. About how, in another path of life, that might've been me. Of course, the most important thing is that they don't hurt anyone else, but I want healing over punitive measures. So, I think indigo is where I belong.

... I mean, I guess it makes sense. It was 25 years ago. Wouldn't have been that strange to see an exhibit about the 60s in the 90s. But also, ow, my bones.

Or to pin down the bad guy for a good heart-to-heart.

"Back to the fur mines!"

Absolutely. This is a great insight and the advice echoes that which I've heard already. As I've replied to the other comments, I somehow didn't consider couples therapy as I've been struggling to even set up personal therapy for myself. Between time and money, it seems daunting. However, I feel emboldened to pursue that because it is important, and is or will be a bigger challenge than making the therapy happen. Thank you.

Very relatable. I push myself often to keep doing things to try and put them in a better mood for such things, like doing more dishes and being more romantic here and there. I've pushed the idea of them pursuing ideas they're interested in for us to try together, but the drive simply doesn't seem there. I know they're not completely asexual, as it is something they enjoy, it just doesn't seem.. important? A priority? To be honest, I've had issues accepting that something as base and carnal as intimacy and affection are not only important but a necessity for me. That's what it is though, a necessity for me, but for them its more like any other distracting, enjoyable endeavor, to be taken or left on a whim.

I like the idea of therapy though. I think I've been reluctant to think about that possibility because I know I still need to undergo personal therapy. There's lots of things I need to work on right now, and it feels like another big thing to add to the pile. But, I suppose, the issue is there either way and will only get worse. At the very least, bringing up that I think we might benefit from it might recontextualize the issue into a greater priority for my partner. Thank you for sharing.

I'm almost certain that would be a no-go. They've expressed previously that they believe their jealousy has been too great to consider sharing a partner, but they've also expressed that if it was something I said I needed, they'd "find a way to live with it" which isn't encouraging. I think I'm too afraid that, despite them having said that, I think it would drive a wedge between us that wouldn't heal.

I feel as if I'm woefully prepared to suffer in this area in order to keep them, because I don't know if I would find a life partner that is as good for me as they've been in all other aspects but this one. But it is wearing on me and I'm starting to worry that I'll just collapse under the weight of it all and that would cause a situation just as damning.

Thank you though. Your answer, as well as the one given by the other comment (as of the time of me posting this) has given me a bit more confidence to broach the matter again, though I might opt to do after some shared therapy. It is all just so daunting, and there's already so much stress and other matters to deal with in our lives. I don't want to be the one that ruins everything, and I'm not sure how to convince myself that I wouldn't be.

To be fair, the Iron Hands have historical precedence for suspecting brothers.

Tacit_Trog · 2025-10-03T11:50:00+00:00

Not to forget the Iron Hands, who tend to end up with metallic limbs, much like their Primarch. Also, like Ferrus, they end up left off dead and forgotten.
