2 truths and a lie; daemon: janad

[it's an odd combination of motivations that has janus sharing today. sometimes a mangling of boundaries is a good way of setting them.]

2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Alias here

1. I can deconstruct an Oreo perfectly. I can separate both chocolate halves and the icing into three separate parts.
2. I have a tattoo of Disney's Timon and Pumba.
3. When I fell out of love the first time, everything changed because I came to understand that nothing changes. I was sad for years. When the sadness started to go, it left in starts and stops. Those moments of relief weren't because I had healed. It was only because I had forgotten for a short time that I had lost him. Every time I remembered, I lost him again. Often this would happen when I was dreaming. My mind tried to make sense of this by making up worlds where I could have what I wanted. But there is no such world. There is this world, and it is good enough.

One Of These Is A Lie

[mordacita]

the lie is the first
no one can do that to an oreo

can we consider tdm canon? c:

[bangitybang]

You vastly underestimate me
Or possibly yourself, I woild like to be a figure of inspiration and not needless competition
:)
You've a sweet tooth?

yes ofc!

[mordacita]

more than unsweet at least
food has little appeal to me in truth.

but i do not believe you
prove this oreo ability to me. let me see it

[bangitybang]

Ah yes
Vampire, I remember

I have already been charged with a quest to find Oreos (to share).
I will conserve one for the purposes of demonstration
We should make a proper wager out of it

I'm going to have to go with Number two.
Though if you have such a tattoo, I would love to see it! That sounds rather cute.

[ She'll... get to that third one shortly, however. ]

are we going to consider our tdm canon pls pls

[bangitybang]

You are correct
I do not have such a tattoo
Though I do have one that references the movie in question, the Lion King
It sounds like you are familiar with it?

yes, ofc!! holds this cr close to chest

[memoryguardian]

Oh! Do you now?
Can I see it someday?
And, yes, I am. Lots of children love the Lion King, it was hard to miss when it had first come out.

[bangitybang]

Yes, you should see it
I cannot take credit, my body looks like someone else's apart from some difference in muscle mass
But I like the tattoo more than some of my old ones, when my body looked like that of yet another person. (It's a Hunter thing)
Are you more like Timon or Pumbaa, what do you think?

bloody hell 3 is so melodramatic i'm hoping it's the lie

[bangitybang]

I'm afraid not
But I think it's common for true earnest sincerity to appear dramatic
Particularly when reserve, sarcasm and irony are the staples of self-defense. Most people aren't very complicated about protecting themselves.
You seem familiar

[vexy]

ugh really. darling, that's ridiculous. have you tried booze? that usually kills the brain enough to stop the dwelling.

[bangitybang]

Yes, sometimes
I'm not dwelling anymore though. I'm sharing an experience of my childhood which was formative to how I am now
Probably not moreso than how my mothers taught me to fight, but that seemed like a less friendly conversation.
I would also prefer my brain live
You should consider the same

[tangleofgarlands]

I've never had an oreo.

[He has, on the other hand, had the kind of feelings illustrated poignantly in that third paragraph. It's much too raw and detailed to be anything but honest; out of empathy, he doesn't address it directly.]

[bangitybang]

That seems like a pity even though they are not good for you
would you like to try one?
I might be able to locate some

[tangleofgarlands]

I've done things that were probably a lot worse for me than eating a biscuit.

I'm sort of curious, but you don't have to trouble yourself. I don't imagine you can just pick up a box at corner shop.

[bangitybang]

It is so much more than a biscuit
(It isn't, I'm trying to be funny)

[overexplained jokes: a janus thing.]

I think the way this place works, it won't be too difficult. I can find some
Have you found somewhere here to live?

[astralera]

I can only assume that an Oreo is some type of dessert? [ now she has a craving for chocolate - thanks for that! ]

And my guess would be that the second is the lie.

[bangitybang]

Yes
Well sort of, it's a sweet snack food that can be indulged in for dessert. I'm newly on a quest to find some
I will save one for you if you like.


Your guess is correct
You're familiar with Disney but not Oreos?

[astralera]

I would like that, thank you.

I'm familiar with neither. A tattoo seemed the most likely thing to lie about.

[ Ignoring the game entirely and going right to the heart of things, as she does, ]

How do you 'fall out of love'?
I've heard that before, but I don't quite get it I guess.

[bangitybang]

[this is why we believe in rosie above all things ok!]

I have heard the process varies for people but I think the weird thing is that it varied even within me

There were years I spent thinking I had simply made up the person I was in love with. The objective reality was that he kept many secrets from me and many things I had not shared with him. Not small things. Matters of honor and principle. I had known there was a lot he wasn't telling me, but I chose to ignore it. Instead I filled in the blank spaces with childish inventions. Forgivable mistakes, romantic fantasies. Sometimes I still think that now. People fall badly in love with ideas all the time, and often enough their own. The trouble might have been that I didn't know it

Other times I think it was just grief in the classic way with all the stages. Crying at night until I would go to sleep, crying when my dreams turned bad, crying after I woke from them. After the first year, I learned to keep two glasses of water at my bedside to prevent dehydration. After awhile, you get tired of crying. You learn acceptance. Kubler-Ross, you might have heard of her?

[hasitsthorns]

[ That first part especially hits close to home. She wonders, sometimes, if the people that love her actually love the constructed persona that she calls her. Though even to Rose, where that persona ends and the reality of herself begins its becoming more and more smudged together.

She's sure there are true parts about her that they love. But she's also sure there are invented aspects of her that they love as well, that even she doesn't realize are fabricated by their design.

It's tricky that way when you're a lying liar who lies. ]

You saw him through rose-tinted glasses because you wanted to.
I get that.

[ As an idealist, hoo boy. Does she get that. ]

And I have
The five stages of grief
but I don't think grief can be neatly defined into five stages, personally
at least not in my experience
or maybe I just never got to 'acceptance' and keep alternating through all the stages in-between
that's also a possibility. i like to be difficult in that kind of way

[fiachdubh]

you might want to learn to edit yourself

[bangitybang]

Hmm
Because I did not think to put a name in? I can probably figure it out

[fiachdubh]

No
Because nobody cares about all of this melodramatic nonsense

Or like, write a book or something
