retrospec | (no subject)

It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually.

Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't?

I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help.

But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know?

I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

Please take care.

i mean it's greek myth so it could also have a human brain
you never know with these things
but that's beside the point
it can't be easy to fight like that right
and he can't hold any weapons because hooves, you know?
it'd be a piece of cake

exactly
easy
i don't know why it's such a big deal in the myths

if you ask me they probably just got lost in the labyrinth
someone probably just said the minotaur killed them for the drama

i guess everyone wants to die a dignified warrior's death
but that just means they're robbing the labyrinth of its rightful kill count

are you kidding?
what good is a warrior’s death if you’re still freaking dead
idk about you man but i want to live

spoiler alert!
the next big bad is the labyrinth itself, out for revenge

everyone's gotta die sometime
no one wants to die fighting a labyrinth
at least if it was by some terrifying menacing creature you look like you went out like a badass

i'll be sure to keep away from any maze entrances then

good thing i don’t care about looking badass then
“sometime” can stay far down the line

the real question is
how will you know a maze entrance if you see one
or does it use unmarked entrances to lure you in
like a spider or something

i was planning on just avoiding any long narrow hallways

dude the whole point is that it’s a maze
those long narrow hallways have to turn somewhere
