Okay...that...doesn't sound too bad...

I take it he lived a super boring life?

Did he at least, write it well?

[thesettingsun]

You've got it all wrong. His life wasn't boring at all, in part because he was a huge fuckhead.

[flametheif40]

I'm probably going to kick myself for asking...

But what was he like and the life he lead?

[thesettingsun]

You know those assholes who are constantly pitying themselves and cry at the drop of a hat, so you almost feel a little sorry for them, but then they're terrible to anyone who does try to help them out?

That was him.

[flametheif40]

oh boy...

does he have the story to actually back it up? Mentally unstable?

tw: suicide talk

[thesettingsun]

I don't have any memories of him going to a doctor or a therapist or anything, but I've remembered three separate suicide attempts, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say he had something that really could have used some help.

Re: tw: suicide talk

[flametheif40]

Yeah...it probably wasn't easy that's for sure.

Did he enjoy himself after coming back?

Through alchemy right?

also, could you perform that same alchemy if someone here were to die?

[thesettingsun]

He was still a mess, just a dead mess.

I don't think so. Past me wasn't an alchemist, just someone alchemy was used on, if that makes sense?

[flametheif40]

Gosh, still?

Oh, and I guess your past self wasn't given that info?

Cause that would be useful as hell...although I don't know how I would feel being an ink blob...thing. But better then dead?

[thesettingsun]

'Better than dead' is a very low bar to clear, but you aren't wrong.

cw: suicide talk

[flametheif40]

Depends I guess. Cause if he wanted to kill himself so bad, I guess he wouldn't be happy about being brought back.

Isn't the point of suicide that you die, stay dead so you

1)don't suffer
2)don't bug people anymore

tw: suicide talk

[thesettingsun]

I know he wanted to die again and had to be talked down from another, post-death attempt. It's hard to say with him what the 'point' was.

Re: tw: suicide talk

[flametheif40]

Was it really that bad for him?

I know what ya said about him being a dick and all, but if someone else talked him down. Maybe he got a little better. That kind of weight couldn't have been easy to carry, especially pushing people away like that.

[thesettingsun]

There are things I can't overlook and things I won't forgive. The things he was going through aren't an excuse for, say, cheating on his wife.

[flametheif40]

Now he has lost my sympathy. Marrying someone and not being honest? That's low

[thesettingsun]

I wasn't kidding when I said he was terrible.

[flametheif40]

I thought you were exaggerating or yeah the guy was terrible but there is some context as to why... -_- I'm not really seeing the why.

[thesettingsun]

Sometimes people are just that bad.

[flametheif40]

Yep, though I try to be optimistic and assume there is a reason why.

Sometimes stupid reasons but reasons never the less.

[thesettingsun]

Then you're way more optimistic than I've ever been.

[flametheif40]

I said try. Some assholes I can't understand.

[thesettingsun]

I don't even bother with him. And I've seen more of him than anybody else could.

[flametheif40]

By the sounds of it, yeah, way too much.

Do you get some magic from him at least?

[thesettingsun]

I have a book that turns into a scythe.

Scythes are stupid weapons and I hate them.

[flametheif40]

That sounds very light and portable.

I believe I have some sort of magic fire knife. But I can't get the damn thing to do anything.
