About Save the Dave (written by Akira)
Save the Dave is a Recolle Wildlife Fund to save our one and only unicorn in a human vessel, Dave Strider. Dave is a rare creature that is capable of time travel and bringing over 6 entrees to one’s table. He is also melodic, capable of playing a whole orchestra on his own. Born cool, he is one of the last that wear shades indoors and at night. With whatever amount you choose to donate, even a penny, we can keep our Dave Strider happy in Recolle with some apple juice boxes and loving support.

damas y caballeros, ready to get the slip on this diseased motherfucker to kick off the kickstarter? i can still hear some sorry vagabonds dishing the enigmatic interrogation marks all like . . . what’s the dave? 🤔
in the name of the three, only 24K of pure magic, sitting in his vault all ready to deal the motherfuckin’ charity pacts to the needy. have you ever seen something so beautiful in god’s image? only jesus but damn they might as well be blood bros, armed and related. he’ll change your lives forever, like. aight, listen. i used to watch this little dude every other night like my own fam bc his padres didn’t wanna leave him alone at night for their adult romping, and that glacier cold stare? the way he sort of cringes when he sees a brother? ave 🙏 it just makes me smile. is it making you smile right now? fuck yeah it is.
his ears be blessed, the dave listens. the dave snaps pics so sicknasty he directed pocketman snap before y’all were born. the dave spits heinous rhythm so hot that hell wants to take a permanent vacation like yo hold onto my sinners but the dave be like, sorry lucifer i’m on holy bail and just explodifies the whole damn underworld with a 5sec staredown. he don’t even gotta die for your sins homies, the dave lives on in a single finger gun. and muchachos, el besotea bien ;o) 👌 👌👌

Well.
Daisuke believes Akira when he says that he's a phantom thief. It's not like Daisuke was the only one here. Haru was too, so by extension, there could be other people who were also phantom thieves.
But of course, there's a huge difference between then and now. ]
i dont feel alone, or at least with support. i have good friends. i have a good roommate that i think of as family. but its a little easier for me to avoid it... i dont know anyone in the city that could have been from where i was in the past life or whatever you want to call it. so if i dont talk about it and keep myself busy, the less i have to think about it
its a lot of running away but i want to keep those influences out of my life despite the whole retrospec thing. i want to be as "me" as possible. i like my identity. i dont want to be someone else
no subject
Daisuke, in a way, you're letting this fear dictate how you run your life. as much as you think you're living as you usually do, you're using real moments and people as an escape. Recolle is a distraction so you don't need to accept or think about those memories that may or may not be real.
acknowledging them will not drastically change you and you can't just shut them away forever.
no subject
but just because i dont talk about some things with other people doesnt mean it never comes up on its own... its not as bad now but i used to get nightmares often and even if the memories arent real, the things i feel during them feel... real
there are people who have it worse than i do. maybe you do too... it feels silly to talk about it and complain and i probably shouldnt feel that way, but i cant help it
no subject
(smacks you across the face)
[ For added effect. ]
no subject
i used to get nightmares, too. sometimes, i still do, but pain is relative. no matter how small it is compared to others, it doesn't devalue and undermine how you feel. your nightmares are no less than mine or others.
it's taken me a while to talk to people about what bothers me and it's hypocritical coming from me, but don't trap yourself.
no subject
this is such mood whiplash ]
i did talk about my memories with some people before though... but one of them is off the app now and the other, well... i felt bad because hes dealing with his own things too and i never wanted to burden him more
i just wanna live a relatively average life (barring retrospec) but i can tell the app doesnt want that for any of us. i do have a genuinely good time with people though despite everything, so i dont feel as suffocated... if anything, i feel like it brought a lot of us closer together
also this might be off topic but are you disappointed that you cant see him
no subject
no, i'm not disappointed because of that.
i am glad to hear all of that, but i am irritated by what you said earlier about your problems being less than others.
no subject
i feel like you would have so much fun meeting him for some reason...
and would it tell you a lot if i told you i wanted confidence as a super power
no subject
plenty of people would like confidence. i know i would.
no subject
no subject
it's your wish.
no subject
thanks though
no subject
i did absolutely nothing, but no problem.
no subject
That definitely cheered him up though. He'll leave it at that.
Daisuke Niwa will remember this. ]
