#loop asks

Stars, you bunch are quite set on this other party business. Trying to vent your envy of the saviors through yours truly?

Besides, even if I did theoretically have one, what good would sending a message do now? I could speak until my throat goes sore but no matter what advice I'd share, what topics I'd want to discuss, or what apologies I'd try to make it wouldn't change anything no matter how much I'd want it to. The damage has been long done, and no spiffy letter saying "I wish I was more open with all of you" will fix any of it unfortunately...

This was originally an ask but we don’t have it anymore. The response was so long that I thought it deserves its own post. I also included the definition of a meltdown. - Mod Venu

Whats the difference between an anxiety attack and a shutdown...? -loop ➰

Anxiety attack Similar symptoms as a panic attack has but they are generally less intense and can last for longer than panic attacks do. Anxiety attacks can include hypersensitivity to chaos/sensory input, bouts of rage/irritability, not moving, talking fast or unclearly, not talking.

Meltdown Symptoms include self-harm, shouting, aggressive behaviour, stimming.  During a meltdown the person can harm others/themselves.

W-Why, whatever are you trying to insinuate? My little party of sorts is right here, I can tell them whatever I need to whenever I need to like "Thank you for your time", or "I enjoy your company", or "I'm Sorry"...

I haven't gotten a good look of my own noggin to get the full gist of what you all see - not beyond the stuffed toy of my likeness anyways - but from... I'll say "experience" it's a mix of both. There's certainly a good bit extra to look a star's part, but there's still something of a head with the standard fixings amidst the light and spectacle of it all. Wouldn't have much use for pillows or anything otherwise.

Well I... I don't really know, in that case. Not sure what would go afoul, but despite your attempt to worry me I highly doubt anything really could because of it.

..Also, no, this is not Siffrin.

(You snicker.) That's a good one. I'm sure that could be appropriate for more than one season, holiday or otherwise.

As far as I'm aware, Stardust only knows what all little chef has said about me, so I'd guess not. He's not even aware I've already spoken to him through your channels, so until we have our in-person chat or unless someone breaks that news I don't see them finding out on their own. (You unwrap the gift and give it a good look over.) Certainly a well made I assume weapon. I think I'll stick to the whips for my defensive tools, but I see no reason to turn down a holiday gift like this, especially after accepting two others.

*it’s a small spiky darkless flower… it reminds you of something*

... Stars, my memory isn't that poor you know. You didn't need to go through the hassle of getting such a special flower to make me remember something so grand. Top marks for the effort though, I certainly don't remember having ever seen one like this before. Hopefully it's not too rare a flower that I'd need to preserve it with utmost care.

(You got the Spiky Flower. You think of where to put it for a second before setting it in the brim of Soupe's hat for the flair. Also- )
