I don’t want to start drama but I’ve seen some concerning posts floating around about how distasteful and disappointing it is to see certain creators “support” Dorian and I hate to break it to you guys, but if you’ve ever interacted, shared or created anything regarding The Arcana you are supporting Dorian yourselves.
Being in the fandom alone is supporting Dorian by creating engagement, publicizing the game and being part of the audience they’re trying to target.
And even if you were to delete your whole blog and everything you’ve ever posted to enjoy the original game in private you would still be supporting Dorian by bringing traffic to the app they now own.
The one and only way you have to stop supporting Dorian, if you care about it so much, would be to distance yourself from the series entirely and go join another fandom. Never play the original game ever again and never interact with any fan creation regarding it from now on. 👋

Friendly reminder because I’ve seen it happen before and we all should not be eager to sweep this shit under the rug just because it MIGHT (Keyword Might) end alright
If Helena (and any of the other people affected by what is almost certainly budget cuts, which is why I doubt this might actually end as well as we want it to) gets rehired, that does Not erase the fact that we have yet to hear anything official from SSE other than the fucking instagram comment that doesn’t count, because it Shouldn’t, about this situation, and that they have completely skrewed over people with the way they’ve been assumedly handled it from what we as outsiders can puzzle together, and that even if this might end up being overturned because SSE got direct confirmation that people want to spend their money on them (keyphrase Spend Money) it does not erase their actions and it doesn’t erase the shitty business principals we’re currently seeing
All of the people affected deserve better than this absolute flipflop bullshit, and we as consumers deserve an official proper announcement

Y'all know that the people who are going to love you the most in the world are still going to be annoyed with you at times right? That impatience and frustration are human emotions that everyone invokes in others at some point or another? That being loved as a neurodivergent person doesn't mean finding people who are never bothered by your needs or behaviors, but rather finding people whose love for you outweighs those incompatibilities?
Y'all realize that sometimes you might just...talk too much on a day that your partner would prefer silence? Or make a mess on a day your roommate just cannot handle having to clean up for you? Or that in the months you spent in hermit mode you were actually unavailable to a friend who really needed your support?
Y'all understand that at times your friends/family/partner are going to have needs that misalign with yours and that BOTH OF YOU are going to have to figure out the best way to handle that?

speaking of “what else is new” the eternal genre of Takes available online or off through any platform that go like “this hangup / issue people can have can impede the success of like, connection & relationships & other aspects of someone’s life” like oh groundbreaking insight, go on. & then the conclusion is just “And That’s Bad” generally through like, criticizing any hypothetical individuals in a “have you considered that that’s bad? have you considered stopping? why haven’t you? sounds like a lack of Individual Responsibility...and maybe...You Suck??” vein like oh, again, groundbreaking. and it’s fast easy & free [sense of righteousness] i guess b/c it’s like oh i’m just helping, are you saying it’s Good / Better to have to struggle with / be impeded by xyz issues hmm? and like “here i am up on the cross >:)” satisfaction if anyone’s disagreeing lol like not only am i correct but ppl Hate it so it’s gotta be cutting edge, rather than it’s like, this is the most basic, well-trodden ground possible here. people hear about the notion of Ableism, resent the idea this might be a complicated thing to engage with requiring effort (but will also complain that idk it’s not serious b/c oh alllll people want to do is unreasonably issue a list of frowned upon language. like yes that’s all that exists and it must be frivolous vs being if nothing else an exercise in asking someone to shift their perspective / framework around taken for granted ideas) and then be like “well enough is enough (hasn’t done anything) i think this has gone too far & have we considered that it sucks to be depressed?? what about the people Dealing with other people dealing with issues who are doing everything right by being Not Mentally Ill but burdened or punished by the mental illness of others. not Their responsibility” like yes if we keep this in the realm of Individual Responsibility Apolitical Vibing then we can just call it a day. what does anyone expect the “absolutely demolishing these hypothetical Complacent mentally ill people, one issue at a time until everyone learns they should strive to be normal” to accomplish here. like oh enough, nay, Too Much consideration of Supporting anyone out here. i think it’s time we turned to voicing Disapproval & even moral judgment condemnation of these hypothetical individuals. can’t argue with that unless, what, you Want people to have problems? you think it’s good and right to potentially harm other people / make interpersonal relationships more difficult??? sounds like someone has some growing up to do 9_9 lmfao like again. just visionary & groundbreaking insights which is why this approach has kept being continuously reinvented here & everywhere else this whole time. like how would this relevantly / helpfully apply to the Reality of anyone’s situation on any side of anything. vs like well at least some people will be mad about This one, good posting

i know that confrontation can be super scary, given that it's something i avoided for a majority of my life, but sometimes it's necessary.... sometimes feeling that anxiety is worth it, especially when it comes to things like standing up for your friends and showing them they have support when they're confronting someone who has hurt them
like.... an ex-friend fucked over two of my friends recently and he never acknowledged it or apologized to either of them. now, almost two months later, he sent a message to our gc asking if we wanted to hang out because he was going to be in the area from tomorrow to friday... which is super short notice, especially since all of us either work / go to school.... it was also insane because he COMPLETELY ignored what happened ???
so in response my friend (who was affected) wrote a set of paragraphs expressing that she was upset and how he wronged her and our other friend, and ended it by saying that if he wants to hang out he needs to let us know in advance instead of informing us last min like he always does -__- my other friend (who was affected) sent a msg right after, and i sent a message of agreement. this leaves one friend within the group, and she didn't say Anything...... the four of us (excluding the ex-friend) were talking in a gc about it, and when i sent my response, my friend (who hadn't said anything yet) was like 'aw man now /i/ have to say something' LIKE GIRL WHAT???
it annoyed me soooo bad because she made it seem like a chore... what i even sent wasn't even that long, it was literally just one sentence lol and that's because it didn't feel like it was my place to say something long since i wasn't directly affected, but i Still wanted to show support for my friends. so i asked her why she didn't want to say anything, and i wasn't confrontational in the way that i asked, and her response was simply 'eh cause i dont want to LOL' like -____- dont piss me offffff wtf
idk it's just so baffling to me how she can be so nonchalant... she agrees that what he did to our friends was fucked and she was even pissed about it herself, but when it came to ACTUALLY saying something to him directly, she didn't want to say anything.... and she even followed up her message to us by saying that if he wants to hang out, he has to reach out to her directly... what... wtf.... what the hell are you saying..........
