[alright. so now she's feeling the effects of her Sentencing. she can barely lift her gauntlets now, and... you know what? with the way things are looking right now, she's not about to let all this get in the way of her protecting herself or the people she cares about.]

alright, who has a grudge that they need to work through? could be anyone from here, or at home.

or i guess, how do you forgive people who've fucked with you? would that even work in this case?

whatever. i'm just doing this to get my Sentencing over with. let me know so jerry sees it and i can move on with my life or however the hell this shit goes away.

depends on how you've been fucked with

some matters are not forgiveable

[grappler]

some bitch played a hand in murdering my family.

i'm supposed to forgive them or some shit.

voice; un:curtaincall

[endcaller]

Well!

I daresay it would depend on what they did!

I have been wronged in ways I refuse to offer forgiveness for.

threatened, killed my family.

i punched them in the face because they pissed me off and ended up being Sentenced for it. it was unrelated, but still. they piss me off.

i dont

i keep grudges pretty bad

[grappler]

my sentencing said to help someone through them.

not sure how i'm supposed to do that, though.

Forgiveness is earned
Personally I do not have the patience to be the bigger person
Appease this Jerry and continue to feel whatever you like

[grappler]

i don't have the patience to be the bigger person either.

[obviously, since Silco's been here for almost two years and she's still not over it.]

you got any anger i could help you work through or something

I have someone who hates my guts over the things I've done. He's got a right to hate me and have a grudge. I'm trying to be nicer because it involves someone I care about, but I'm only making things worse the harder I try. But I'm always screwing things up, so that's no surprise.

[...]

Sorry, this isn't helping you at all, either. Forget I said anything.

[grappler]

it's okay. it's probably a bit more helpful than all the other people who're just telling me to kill a man.

[it's meant to be a joke.]

you wanna talk a bit more about it?

[runeing]

Vi. I do believe I know what you are talking about.

Perhaps ask yourself, is the letting go of the grudge the same thing as forgiveness? Does it have to be? You don't have to forgive what's happened... very few people would. But does carrying the grudge help you in any way? Will it change anything, holding onto your anger and resentment?

[grappler]

we really need to think of a better username for you than your actual name.

[/attempted joke

some of what he's saying is along the lines of some of the others, so she's been kind of... considering that.]

no to both accounts, i guess.

i just... see them in my mind's eye whenever i look at that person. the people that died.

kick em in the balls til they puke and apologize

while i want to, i think i'd get Sentenced. again.

I don't know about forgiving, but usually threatening a man with a spear a few times helps me clear my head and move on.

[She's starting to come to a more comfortable dynamic with the man she's thinking about, but sometimes the only way to make men bearable is to indulge imagining certain thoughts.]

[grappler]

see, people are more on my side, here! either that means it's completely legitimate, or we really are some sort of crazy bitches.

honestly, it's probably the second thing.

[conflictresolution]

Oh, I have a grudge that you could assist me through. It's been a bothersome sliver for many years, so perhaps there is nothing to be done about it.

No doubt your vast and worldly perspective will due the trick.

[grappler]

[FUCK

WHY DIDN'T SHE BLOCK HIM FROM SEEING THIS POST

because Elise likes them arguing with each other]

it's because of your ass that i'm in this position.

what do you want now?

yeah sure, you can help me with my grudge.

quentin stole the last of my pizza and he's not even sorry about it.

deck him and make him buy you a new pizza.

[jaganshi]

A grudge, hm?

What is the case? Some things are not forgivable, regardless of time or ‘change’.

[grappler]

they're part of the reason most of my family is dead.

not really forgivable, if you ask me.

text; un: suzumiya

[uncommonsense]

[ damn. heavy stuff, but she can’t really compromise on her answer. ]

did they do anything suggesting that they want you to forgive them?
if they’re not looking for it or feel bad about it, then the whole thing’s kinda pointless

[grappler]

nope. instead, they just egg me on whenever i talk to them.

that's what i said, but jerry's decided it's not pointless.

[feintofhart]

Let's work out the sentencing bit first. What exactly have you been sentenced to do? Help someone else successfully get over a grudge? Because to my eyes, that's an insurmountable task within a month's time.

Me, I'm not the kind of guy to hold grudges. They're not useful to me.

[grappler]

"help someone work through a grudge and then apply it to your own life" is basically what it was.

sometimes i just can't help it.

[abandonware]

[She's been reading...]

will the grudge bring anyone back?

[grappler]

no, it won't.

[querulus]

in my experience, you join a superhero team with them and just rib them about shit forever.

i mean or you could obliterate them from existence, immediately get curbstomped by their friends (and in this case jerry) and be a miserable bitter sack of shit about it for the rest of your pathetic life.

your choice really.

[grappler]

well, i killed him once and then we just came back a few days later. they don't really have friends strong enough to curbstomp me, though.

kinda pointless to kill them when no one stays dead around here.

[melnik]

Do they just want you to reflect or are they literally asking you to help someone get over a grudge?

Seems like a hard ask among these people.

[ If the... previous replies were any indication. ]

[grappler]

[yeah... they sure are replies!!]

they want me to reflect and apply it to my own life. basically telling me to get over this grudge, take my own advice, etc.

even then, there's a lot of people egging me on on just keeping it going.

text; un: mandervilleofficial

[clutterbitch]

acknowledging that though you cannot alter the past, people, themselves, can change, both you and the person you resent. redirecting negative energy to positive action. putting space between you and the object of your bitterness. gardening!! ummmmmmmmmmmMMMMM, ego death, in a pinch.

these are not forgiveness, though.
but i am not sure forgiveness is necessary for moving on??
forgiveness is something granted to one that has wronged you. it is not for you. it is for them. moving on - that is for you.

[grappler]

[.......]

how do you move on when those people they helped kill is all you see when you look at them?

The woman I live with hogs all the blankets and leaves her clothes everywhere. Any advice you can give me so I don't strangle her in her sleep?

[Caitlyn knows Vi's post is serious. They're both dealing with the stress and annoyance of having to do their Sentencing projects, so sue her for wanting to lighten the mood a little. It's all in good fun, and nothing she hasn't fussed at Vi about before. She still loves her, despite her faults.]

[grappler]

[...]

dunno, she might be into the strangulation thing, though. not really sure you'll get your point across that way.

[ashaya]

I assume it is dependent on the nature of the sentencing and what would fall within its parameters.

[ There's always loopholes. ]

I find that holding grudges does not benefit those around you or yourself. My people have learned methods to release such things.

[ He absolutely holds grudges, but he'd rather die than admit it. ]

[grappler]

punched someone. got told to help someone through their grudge and apply it to myself. most people here who have grudges are just telling me to keep it going, though.

[not. that she's surprised.]

are you sure you guys have learned, or are you just better at hiding it?

text; un: ecophagy

[nobetawedielike]

I don't know if I have a grudge. Sometimes, it feels like I do. Some days, I'm so mad I can't think.

[ can she ever forgive her creators? forgive Tilda?

the anger burns through her like fire sometimes, until she's overwhelmed and wants to throw things around her. all the same, a lifetime of the Zeniths control, the forced disassociation and agonizing simulations when she misbehaved-- screaming, crying, throwing things...it had never made a difference. eventually she'd given up. Tilda's abandonment had merely been a breaking point.

she barely knew what her anger felt like anymore. ]

[grappler]

being so mad i can't think is definitely a contributing factor to the shit choices i've made.

you do anything to bring yourself back down?

text; un: ushiromiya

[entreats]

Wait, so is your Sentencing just that you have to ask this on the network?

Or were you giving the choice of either punching or forgiving someone?

[grappler]

i had to find someone who had a grudge and talk them through it. not really sure who to start with, so i just asked the network.

i was Sentenced because i punched someone because of a grudge. the ""council"" is telling me i should get over it, basically.

[concierto]

Oh? Is this what it's like? When you get a sentence.

Are you alright? They don't strap you to a board and force you to get these answers, do they?

[grappler]

yeah, used to be a whole big thing. now jerry just appears in dreams or whatever. at least for now.

... that'd be a little drastic even for them, wouldn't you think?

txt. un: plantogetit. (i had to)

[traumaticus]

it would depend on the severity of their transgression.

oh man

[grappler]

murder.

that severe enough for you?
