frillnet bulletin: WE BACK

[my_name_is_frill]

⭐ Who: Frill and FrillNet!
⭐ When: Start of June
⭐ Where: On the FrillNet boards.
⭐ What: After a long hiatus during May, Frill is back!

[ Following her bulletin at the start of May, Frill suddenly disappeared, leaving the board in general chaos until "Dreamer Arbiter" stepped in to take up the reins of mod. (Grumblings about "authoritarianism" and "fun-hating" are entirely unsubstantiated. Probably.)

But at the start of June... ]

we back?

i haven't gone out hunting or anything

it's scary (ｼ;ﾟДﾟ)ｼ

[my_name_is_frill]

better news: the bounty was referring to the videos of du officials getting pied in the face, so no worries!

question tho (。_。)

if you're scared of going out to hunt torments, are you really cut out to be a dreamer?

[illrested]

screw you

[illrested]

i'm doing my best i thought this place was supposed to be supportive.

[my_name_is_frill]

it's a legitimate question you should consider! look i'm trying to be serious here so i'll stop with the kaomoji bit

a lot of people think the dream sphere is just someplace where they can mess around and live out their wildest fantasies but it really is dangerous here

putting it kindly as i can: if you have that much doubt in yourself you should sit down and figure out why exactly you're putting yourself out there to be a dreamer

[illrested]

i don't think it's a place to mess around
but since i have these powers don't i need to make sure i use them responsibly?
to help people?
it's not like i asked for them
or wanted this to happen
but now that it did i have to do my best

[my_name_is_frill]

"with great power comes great responsibility," huh?

well here's another western catchphrase for you: "if it sucks, hit da bricks"

getting dreamer powers isn't a choice that you make; it's mostly dumb luck. the choice is whether you want to pivot your entire life and center it on the dream sphere, or keep going on the path you've already chosen for yourself.

if you want to be some kind of big hero, you have to make the choice to be one, not act like it was made for you just because you won the subconscious lottery.

[illrested]

Wasn't it, though?
it's just a lot to get used to when i was really normal for a long time.
i'll have to think about it i guess

Sometimes, the kindest support one can give is a harsh truth.
I've remained evenhanded while I assumed her duties, but since that necessity has passed I'll speak my mind instead:

Naivete leads to negligence, and negligence can lead to death. All who remain in this place are aware of this simple truth.
If it is training or support you seek, this place's denizens will provide.
But if it is coddling and reassurance, we will not shy away from the truth.

[illrested]

i don't need anyone to coddle me
just don't be a jerk about stuff
