hey so quick question how do I explain why I bleed ink to my boyfriend -yes he's already seen it -I was cutting up vegetables and scratched a finger -it'd be great if someone could give advice relatively soon because I don't know how long 'I need to lie down and then I'll talk to you about it' will work, he's still panicking he's just not demanding an answer right this second thanks for the help

However awful you think it tastes, it probably tastes worse.

that sounds really gross
i guess it's good that you can heal like that but that sounds terrible

Chugging ink is super gross, but at least it's quicker than however long it takes to normally heal serious injuries. I can deal with it.

yeah that is a pretty good trade off
do you know how much it'll heal?
like could it fix a broken bone or something?

I twisted my ankle really badly and it healed that fine. Also I was beaten near death once?

oh wow
it's good that you could heal from that
but what happened?

I wish this was a longer story than it is, but it boils down to 'guy I'd never met on the street attacked me'.

that's terrifying
was the guy caught?

...I just realized that I have no idea.

hopefully he was
sorry you had to go through that though
even if you can heal your injuries that's still a terrible thing to have to experience

Thanks. At least the biggest danger right now is walking into invisible walls. How are you holding up?

yeah it's kind of a relief
it could've been much worse probably

i'm doing okay
i'm not really an artsy type so this has been
interesting

No one's asking for fine art right now, anybody can slap paint on a wall. Even I can do that and I'm terrible with my hands.

yeah that's true
i'm still holding onto hope that things will just suddenly go back to normal or something

I've been hoping that for a year and so far things have just gotten worse.

oh
i'm sorry
this is a lot to deal with
i'm sure i'll feel the same way at some point

I hope you don't, this sucks. It's not even a useful feeling.

a lot of people seem really upset about retrospec
i get why but it's not really something i feel right now
it's kind of exciting to be experiencing something different honestly
but i feel kind of bad thinking like that
especially when a lot of people are really hurt by what they've experienced

As long as you know that other people have it worse than you, and don't go 'well I have it pretty good so Retrospec can't be that bad', then I think you're fine. I'd rather you have a good experience than a miserable one, personally.

yeah i'm not going to pretend that my experiences are everyone's
i really do hope things get better for you though

Thanks. I hope they stay good for you.
