I would have been worried initially as well as I've never been super interested in keeping up with astral drama thus I'm not always aware of their repeated behaviours but even as just a casual onlooker, this is just strange. Surely they have a private chat with their sister and partner, I genuinely fail to see why they would want to communicate their issues in textwalls through FR profile comments of all things unless the purpose is for strangers to see it and feel bad? Not even gonna use PMs, literally just comments which is notoriously like the worst way to talk to someone on this site? And, wiping your bio and going around in your lair to purposefully edit tab names and dragon bios to say edgy things as well as setting the avatar to a blank space (going out if their way to use a marva cloak for it?) just reminds me of my teen angst, the sole purpose of that would also be for friends / strangers to see and feel bad. Ooo I changed my discord icon into an empty black PNG don't talk me I angy
I'm not saying any of this can't be a cry for help, it absolutely can, but I guess we already know with astral that it's not really in their interests to actually stop the flow of drama or distance themselves from it despite claiming to be so hurt by it. Everyone on FR knows that it's really not that hard to let the drama fizzle out and not reignite it. I've been a subject of some low tier drama on old anonrising several years ago but I didn't even know the site existed at that point so I was just going on with my life until I learned way later that it had even happened. This stuff is so inconsequential, everyone will move on if nothing new is fed to the pot
The actual whiplash of going in TwinFish's profile comments baffled me. Even if you disregard the fact that it's taking place in the profile comment section of a dragon website when like, discord exists, the long rant about how everyone is ableist and phobic and hateful of them (now deleted it seems https://imgur.com/a/1Fr8K6Q) followed by the cheery badge announcement just four days later, and then the crytyped "sorry I can't do this anymore" which I'm pretty sure has the text formatted to be slightly smaller, is just baffling to look at. I'd feel bad laughing but seriously it looks like it was deliberately set up to be comedic??
yeah shit like this just adds to my theory that is all for sympathy farming.
im almost positive that twinfish is AC's IRL, living together partner (based on what TF has posted on Twitter/Tumblr). so why the fuck would it be necessary to have this conversation over profile comments? oh yeah, so everyone else can see how persecuted and victimized they specifically are.
The formatting on the dramatic speech is what gets me personally, yeah there isn't much of it but I still find it silly that they went out of their way to apply bold, italics and underline to "day". A word that would have had the exact same effect without any styling in this context but they went for it anyway. Honestly if they were in the mind to decorate the text a bit, they should've done more. Idk if it looks weird that I'm focusing on this particular detail but I'm only doing that under the assumption that they want this stuff to be read and seen. Cause you know, if they didn't, they've got a jillion free private chat options and it'd be their fault entirely for not using them.
not that this particularly matters but it's also almost certainly against site rules. there's an entire section of the harassment rules titled ""trauma-dumping" and venting"
