#strictness isnt wrong!!! if you arent strict on either yourself or the people around you then it is easy to breach boundaries n do-

[spotsupstuff]

i sense how on the contrary, when moon is in Zeph’s local group the members will all go ‘omg youre actually letting us do this’ or be surprised of her leniency with almost anything(or if she gets upset she wont be yelling her ass off and will try to remain calm), because of how Zeph would usually be so strict with em and they didnt expect better

see- first you gotta understand that the chancla doesn't really Hurt the iterators. while they definitely can feel through their puppets, those things are made to be sturdy (throw a normal or singularity bomb into Pebs' chamber,he's fine, i know he just doesn't have health but worldbuilding is worldbuilding so i guess a fully functional iterator is fine with blackhole into the head). it maybe stings for a sec but it's not worse than gettin pinched (also where did you get that she yells at em, she's only exclaimed so far i think. if you check how she handled Innocence, that's how she generally goes about it- no yellin for the sake of puttin 'em in place, she's just venting out her frustrations into the air)

the Point of the chancla is to get the target's unwavering attention so she can talk some sense into them WITHOUT using the senior privilege which is far more invading since it cuts straight through their systems and forces the juniors to stop everything to pay attention. these things are giant supercomputers! they are going to have a different perspective on what counts as "too much"/"too bad" than us humans! it isn't used to limit what they are doing unless the thing they are gon do is explicitly threatening to their safety, the limiting is what the Senior Privilege does!

in that lil comic with Pebs, Suns, Nish, Inn and her, she doesn't actually even hit Nish in the last panel, the chancla is only supposed to suddenly appear from behind next to his face n he gets startled + drama queen points. i've admitted in the tags of it that i gave up on the last page so i don't blame anyone for not gettin that since i haven't put enough effort into communicating it

with what she's doin back in her own group, she Needs to be this strict if she wants her plan of keeping everyone reliably long-term safe to work

and her groupmates would undeniably miss her. they love her! they don't want some lenient stranger without constant spice to her instead of their ramshackle beloved Azzie!!!!

#Spot says stuff #rw #oc tag #remember!!!!! important point to her character that also bothered me at some point with how similar it makes her to Moon was that shes Kind #Zeph is kind almost as much as Moon but their situations- concerning all their past present and future- are strikingly different and so #their lives require them to have different approach to things. what Zeph is specifically doin different from Moon is that shes Firmer #strictness isnt wrong!!! if you arent strict on either yourself or the people around you then it is easy to breach boundaries n do- #-Terrible things. its. honestly why i got real sad when a peep asked me to tag that one post as abuse. its not that believe me Zeph would- #-Never abuse another iterator. shes specifically trying to get around that while still keepin them sensible. but ofc ill tag it as such 4 u #look where Moon's leniency got her! dead and hurt and everyone who loved her suffering! there are times when you Need to be firm and cut- #-a bad situation at its bud before it can spiral into something absolutely damning #i didnt include it cuz it isnt Funney™ but after each chancla she talks to the target about why what they did was wrong #Suns you cant send that. it can hurt him very badly. Innocence you need to respect other people. Pebbles this will Hurt me if u keep doing- #-what you are doing right now. it could *kill* me. why are you doing this in the first place? do you need to talk? need me to listen? #being strict and being cruel or dictatorial are different things

We Are Where We Came From

Have you ever thought to ask a friend about their life? Like not just where they lived or what they did as a kid, but really asked them about all their ups and all their downs. Or even try to find out for all your family members. Humans can be very simple creatures, simple in the fact that not much really makes them tick, at least not as much as you would think. We are very mental based beings, the things we go through in our lives, really shape who it is we become. Future decisions, future events, can all be based on the things that have happened to us. I’m no specialist and this only my biased opinion, but none the less i believe it to be true. The things we go through during our childhood, early adulthood really shape us and mold how we are or what we will be as we age. The seeing ‘Monkey see Monkey do’ really isnt that far off. We see others do things and then thats how we react. This is displayed in many cases with kids who are bullies, having a mentally unstable household to go home too. Some of the worlds best psychologists have the worst backgrounds and childhoods.Have you ever really sat down and thought of all the issues you have or fears or whatever it may be and see if their is a connection to an event that has happened in your past? A child getting called names in high school will keep that with them their entire life. They will see themselves that way and change things about them or react to the situation in a way that shapes their future. An overly strict parent not wanting the same things they went through happen to their kid, inevitably pushes them to make those decisions for being too hard on them or by making a mistake of their own. Everyone thinks that the things we deal with through out our lives dont have major and lasting effects on who we all become as individuals. Here is a piece of my story, not all things in life are pretty and not everyone has great places growing up. I blame no one for my upbringing and i know why i am the way i am. I just wish to share an example of my own history, if anything to help everyone see more how actions can stay with a person throughout their life and mess up their decision making and overall way of life. My brothers and I do not share the same father, growing up we lived with their dad. He wasn’t the nicest of people and i would go as far to say he wasn’t and still isnt in the right state of mind as your average person would be. He has mental issues and once again to prove my point further, he had a crap childhood filled with abuse and death and neglect and other horrors a child shouldn't have to go through. I do not sympathize with him though, whether you have a shitty life or not how you choose to react in a clear state of mind is on you, you do not have to act on how others treat you or how you were brought up to act. Beside the point, he never really liked me. I was anothers kid, the outsider, not someone under his control. Which made him angry, and his anger only grew over the years that we lived with him, which was 13 years. When he got angry and had a fit he would call me names, scream them at my mom, sometimes even come into my room to scream them at me. A large variety of names that a six year old shouldn't hear, or a ten year old, thirteen, sixteen, all through my childhood. Fat, ugly, cunt, bitch, lazy, stupid, the list goes on. He found new names and new ways to bring me down every day. He gave me new anxieties and fears and social complexes. So much so that to this day i cant have a normal trip to the store, or to go out in public. It literally stresses me out to be around people, all the time. I dont do much, which honestly im fine with. Yes im sad i cant do more and wish things were different but they arent and its just the way things are. I wish i was smaller, maybe shorter. Had a clear face, smaller nose, not so big forhead, and thicker hair. I would be okay, and feel pretty and maybe not be such an awkward being but im not those things, my forehead is big and so is my nose. Im really tall for a girl and overweight. I walk awkwardly because im constantly worried about people watching me while i walk. Im constantly worried about people judging me or thinking things of me. I can never figure out when a person is being genuine when talking on a serious matter. I just dont have the social skills for it and dont know if i ever will due to the things i had to go through as a child. A lot of what i am and do today is because of the horrible things of my childhood and yes i cant really blame it on that forever. But it is a major reason as to why im so fucked up. We tell young people all these things about them and have such high expectations. We are only human, and we can only take so much mentally. Our mentalities are very bendable and corruptible, it only takes one push and you can lose a person forever. There needs to be more support, passion, enthusiasm, love, respect, and overall generosity when it comes to our fellow humans. We are all on a planet, the only life sustaining planet around, for the rest of eternity or the end of our creation. We do not have a choice in this unless you choose to end it yourself, which is not advised for obvious reasons. We do not need to create such problems within ourselves when we have things like diseases, and mother nature, and other creatures we share this earth with. Why fight amungst ourselves. When without one another we would not live anyways. Not one being is better than the other, we are all made up the same way, bleed the same way and cry the same way,mourn the same and love the same (mostly) If you get anything from this, get that people react to everything and every event to happen in their life, whatever name you call them, whatever broken promises you make them, heartbreak, all that. It stays with them and effects them more then you can imagine. It is not hard to be a decent human being and it doesnt take much to be one either. You can make choices for yourself and know right from wrong. There is only one life that we know of and not many of us get the luxury of living it out fully. Bring back being a decent human being, dont be so narrow minded and think before you say or do something. Think fo how it would affect them or you once you do or say things. And above all, bring back the love shared to one another. The small act of telling someone they matter, or that they dont deserve the events in their life, call that girl downstairs beautiful, or compliment your coworkers new hair do. Do something, just spread positivity, instead of judging everything so harshly and holding everything to high standards. Be free and open with the ones we are surrounded by.
