[Nad] honestly, i think i'd be worse off if i didn't have problems in my life...

[Valdyr] LMAO
[Nad] ...

Ever stop and think about the implications of leaving out or changing a name when you're telling a story? The whole "protect the innocent" kind of thing. Who is innocent? I had a kind of interesting confrontation tonight about making a previous reference, though I did not say the name, there was no question of who it could be. Why do we feel the need to protect other people like this? The way I see it, none of us should do or say things that we don't want to stand by...isn't that a concept?
Like, in Rite of Ascenscion, well, obviously it's about my life. Not a complete re-creation, but I wonder if I'm leaving something important out by not directly pointing the finger at you...and at me. Hey, I'm not a good person. My character ends up damned and dead by her own pride, so why should you complain? You've got your own blessed sense of huberis...there's nothing I could do to you that would be any worse than what we do to ourselves.
