Only answering this kind of thing once, but its just to say:

Have you ever considered you thinking that I “own the fandom” is just you projecting your own insecurities onto me

I have voiced constantly that there is no such thing as owning or running a fandom. No one owns it. To be honest with you, I thank whatever gods that are out there that I dont own or run a fandom. Especially this one. I run a single server and a community that branches from that. That means I am in charge of whatever goes on in there. I take that space seriously. People like you are offended that you cant come in to do nasty or asshole type of shit towards others who dont want to be around that.

If you want people to be around you and like you, then just be a good person for damn sake. People notice when you aren’t. I dont have to do anything other than turn the light switch on when you’re doing something fucked up. You’re doing all of the work.

Does creek eventually will tell synth why doesn't anybody talk to him?

Creek would avoid it as long as possible. At first, he didn’t really care. Like at all. He thought Synth was just there to be a fly, running around his head and talking his ear off whenever he was doing yoga at the Hairnasium. Creek is content with his place in Trollstopia, despite being practically outcasted and merely tolerated. As long as he has the protection of a large group around and resources to stay alive, he doesn’t really care. At least, he tells himself that. Creek will keep a sly smile, do his thing and leave to spend the day somewhere else. But ever since Synth began to notice him, talk to him, and eventually start walking with him back to his pod by the end of the day, Creek saw him as a new form of excitement. Until he himself became attached, to his own internal denial.

Before he began to care about keeping Synth around, Creek never bothered to hide it. He wouldn’t tell Synth either, but would just simply watch any attempts from other trolls. All who may try to awkwardly warn Creek, but not bluntly say it. Leaving Synth confused, but not given enough reason to take any warnings. Even Branch has tried to ease Synth into understanding that Creek just isn’t a good person to be around, but stumbled over his wordings out of awkwardness. It’s hard to get someone like Synth to understand the gravity of certain things, such as Trollstice or what Creek had done. It’s never directly said. Not with the Pop expectation to try and forgive and forget, although it hasn’t been forgiven nor forgotten just yet.

But by the time Creek grew attached to Synth’s presence, he was putting more effort into pulling him away from someone or some clue of what he did. Went from a lazy nudge, to directing his attention to something else as quick as he could think to.

I do honestly. I feel he would need to start over though with new trolls who are willing to give him a chance. Realistically, even if you were to forgive someone for their awful actions, especially depending on how bad they truly were, its so much harder to feel comfortable being around them even afterwards. There will always be that traumatic memory of what Creek did. Even with Poppy. In my take, I see Creek eventually does come back, but ends up having to accept his life as the outcast who is just on his own living in the village, doing his own thing. Deep down it does start taking a toll on him mentally.

So I feel the best way Creek would be able to truly become happy, as much as he would simply argue with a smug look on his face that he’s doing quite swell back in the tribe, would be to make friends with trolls who are willing to trust him and dont have that traumatic experience with him, like Synth for example. Because then it’d be a lot easier for him to make connections and have more to do than to just exist by himself alone. Although I also feel like it’d still come with trial and error. Since Creek still has a few things to learn to be a bit of a better person and friend. I feel he’d eventually give into this too the more desperate he becomes and the more attached to the new friendships he begins to make.

How did you find such great mods?? You all are so cool 💯

This is very sweet. My favorite part is getting to watch people use the server in their own unique ways. Some come in to just send art of course, while others come in to talk about different things thats always interesting. Its fun noting and recognizing who comes for what and seeing how everyone interacts with each other. Its such a fun and nice blend of personalities coming together and it makes it all peaceful and worth it. It may be stressful sometimes to run, but I enjoy it overall and love everyone there.

How I found such great mods is a hard question to answer because honestly I have no idea how we got the most thoughtful and kind people to work with us. They’re as incredibly sweet as you can imagine. Always wanting to check on others, always wanting to make sure everyone feels included, and wanting to find ways to make sure smaller artists are recognized. They’re incredibly thoughtful and I’d protect these people with my life. Truly they’re so genuinely sweet. The best way I can answer how exactly is that we made sure the environment for the server was as welcoming and healthy as possible, and looked for those who felt honest and genuine. Which made it possible, or at least a lot easier, to get to have the mods that we have. I wouldnt swap them out for anyone else either

Shout out to my mods who work hard and help keep the community healthy and safe for everyone:

Absolutely. They’d be super chill and very supportive of each other. Sometimes Viva will tease Trollex, to which in response Trollex would happily be joyful back. Its a nice friendship they got going on.
