THE RUNDOWN

It sure has been a crazy few months! Or, you know. Year and some change, if you've been here for awhile. Maybe you've been through a lot, or maybe you're still carrying baggage from home that you haven't quite been able to work through. Well, the gods - Hope and Sorrow in particular, though all of them have some stake in the emotions that could be brought up - have decided to give everyone a chance to get some of this off their chests.

But who actually wants to look someone in the eye and tell them about your problems? Literally nobody. So the gods came to the most obvious conclusion, helped by the fact that they don't actually know how awful the internet is: an anon post!

That's right, all of Hadriel will be provided with an anonymous venue to let out the things that have been upsetting them. Your fears, you regrets, your guilty thoughts - whatever's been weighing you down, now's the time to let it out. And so that you aren't screaming into the void, your fellow residents will be inspired to respond and help you work through your shit - whatever 'helpful' means to them.

THE DETAILS
On February 25th, an open network post will be made. On the in-game network, all posts will be ICly anonymous. However, we ask that you post logged in and simply indicate 'anon' or something of the sort in your thread subject. This is for logistical purposes (for example, it's impossible for actual anon comments to be used for AC, since we can't know who made them). So please do not log out when posting!

ICly, characters will feel a mild compulsion to post honestly. So if your character might not normally unburden themselves anonymously, or might not even pick up their phone, they'll find themselves significantly more inclined to do so. In return, characters will also be mildly compelled to respond in a helpful way. Of course, the definition of helpful can be very different from character to character - maybe your character thinks it's very helpful to tell someone not to feel guilty about murder, because humans are awful anyway. However, as with most in-game compulsions, both of these can be resisted if you do not want your character to participate.

If your character finds someone to be really helpful, very friendly, or just super weird and interesting, they do have the option to reveal their identity. This will only happen if both parties agree - if one character switches to unanon and the other doesn't, the other won't see their identity until they switch as well. In addition, both identities will only be revealed to each other - the thread itself would still look 'anonymous' to anyone else reading it.

So now's the chance to unburden yourself in total anonymity, make new friends, and help each other out! There's no possible way for this to backfire, not even if it turns out the person giving you such great relationship advice is actually the person who killed your dad. Wow. Awkward.

THE OVERVIEW

► February 25th: Anon-enabled network post appears

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

nobody ever let this kid have anon posting Flowey's entire everything was Asriel anon posting

So here's a list of things to expect from this Sweet Fluffy Snowball, when he thinks nobody's looking:

Huge amounts of venting about his unchecked trauma and grief, talking about how he's one of Several People from his game who canonically committed suicide ha ha hhhh a
His dad's here, but he also killed six kids who were just like Chara when that's exactly what Asriel died trying to avoid and whoops Complicated Feelings
Whatever's going on between him and Frisk
SO WE ALL HATE DR. ALPHYS RIGHT ISN'T ALPHYS THE LITERAL WORST GOSH I HATE HER I HOPE SHE STEPS ON A LEGO!!!!!!!
Codepdency and possessiveness! Turns out he's Really Hurt and Jealous and Petty about how Chara's New Best Friend is definitely totally Frisk and he's The Third Wheel and Now He's Not Chara's Favourite and abloo hoo hoo hoo
He's totally going to be That Guy who goes around dropping anon hate and namedrops just to stir up shit because HA HA IT'S NOT REALLY HIM IF IT'S ANONYMOUS RIGHT ;;;;
Desperately namedropping himself to see if somebody out there likes him god he's so starved for approval and validation and attention ha ha
Immediate guilt-laden attempts to post a bunch of positivity to make up for all the unpleasantness he just flooded the system with

boy oh boy is it Sibling Guilt Hour already

Look deep within yourself and ask if it ever actually wasn't Sibling Guilt Hour literally all the time, constantly

u raise a good point

though lbr if these two started talking on anon about feeling guilty about sibling deaths they'd probs be able to realize exactly who the fuck they were talking to in record time
