Hey guys! I just wanted to make a blog post as it has been a while and I really need to keep tabs with myself about posting one regularly.

This one is a bit of a heartfelt one but also light-hearted since we are like pegasus in that we sit lightly on clouds around here.

First of all, I want to thank all of you who were nothing but supportive and kind to me last week. I did a fluke on something and instead of cornering me and putting me on the defensive, I only got warmth, support and good faith in my nature. As well as ... of course.. banter.. :p

In fact, I will put some references of some of those quotes that struck me:

One person said:

"See, your problem there is that you did not use enough emojis. If you spammed with more emojis, people would see how derpy you are and no one can see you as evil. But yeah. We all know that you have derpes, it is no secret. No one feels threatened or hatred, no worries. ^~^" 

¬.¬ Ah. I lack emojis and have derpes. Yeah, that was the problem. Thank you. :p   

Another person:

"A lack of empathy?! O please!!! Anyone who might think that is clearly a stranger. You think we forgot about that time people panicked about a wasp in your office? So you grabbed a glass cup and paper to slide it over to take outside, then you accidentally injured its little leg in the process and to this bloody day we have to hear about how bad you feel about that? This was years ago!

That thing is long gone by natural causes and you still feel bad. Your problem is not a lack of empathy but a bit too much of it. If you have suddenly gone evil then, good, perhaps we can stop hearing stories similar to that one in nature. 

(they are joking, btw, they do not like evil but they do like to troll me. Regardless...)

Wow.

Gee...

¬.¬ thank you for the feedback.... :v

And speaking of feedback, this art inspired by a different dialogue from that incident when consulting with my team. 

But at the risk of giving any validity to this nonsense:

As much as I do appreciate the good faith and good humour, I do prefer to hold myself to a higher standard than that. I should never banter too hard, especially in public where it could be misinterpreted to the newer folk.

However, the reason why I appreciate the support, confirmation and validation is because it prevents several things:

1. Stops me from second guessing myself, wondering what the heck happened.
2. Does not make me feel gaslit into becoming defensive or even more confused.

And, ironically, because of your support and good faith, I expect to do better. I always wish to improve and find better ways to banter. ^~^

I do not wish to make even a single person here feel they cannot make new threads or have fun! Just, please, no justifications of adding any dubious content while putting on the facade of banter. My exasperation comes from a long long history of disasters coming from exactly those types of situations and being the center target once I do let it slide. I tend to banter back but I feel I may do it too hard when it contains actual frustration from trying to prevent a chaos from happening. Regardless, that is not a justification, just an explanation. 

I just want everyone to have a nice chill time here with no dubious approaches and nothing lost in translation.

With that said, I will also be closing the comments and discouraging reacts on here because I already know you all support me and are super kind. This is not to gain your support but rather to show my own and also to assure that I will not ever banter too hard again  or change the environment from fun to playfully dark....Umm..

er... except for the banner...  

and the blog posts of deep topics.. and the... 

Ahem. You get it, I am sure. 

But this blog post allows me an incentive to make another blog post that I had been wanting to make for a while. [Why I admire Howl From Howl's Moving Castle]. He is definitely very calm and graceful about everything. Even if he has good humor behind the gleam in his eyes. I would like to take more of a lesson from him when things get crazy in life!

Either way, I want everyone's input on emojis and the like for us to decorate this beautiful site with.
