Perpetually Confused

There was one time I wondered to myself if my dad was abusive, but I dismissed it because he wasn't Like That often enough. And that decision to stop thinking about it really haunts me, because I can't really remember that time period well so all I have are the fragments of it, and usually those fragments are... pretty bad. But is that enough? I don't even remember how long that time period was... It's funny also because I realized recently that I can't even tell if it counts as "long term trauma" because of that. Of course it was traumatic, of course it was awful, but for all I know it could've been only a few times and it just affected me poorly because I was already in a bad state. Most of the reason I don't remember it is because my depression got so bad anyways...

But you know, I remember how angry he was at my depression symptoms. And my mom said years later that he was depressed at the time too, so I guess he took it out on me, or whatever. I can't even wish that my mom had stopped him because I just don't think she knew or understood...

I have not! I agree that I'd probably like it if I played it but I'm intimidated by the length despite having read things just as long :P Right now my plan is to have Witch on the Holy Night as my first Typemoon VN but I haven't bought it yet so we'll see when I get around to it!!!!!

Tempest

Memory

Tempest already has stuff related to losing senses (this is not something I've touched for years tho so idk I'd need to think that through again) so the idea of them accidentally affecting a Higher Being like that, even if the blinding is more metaphorical than literal (Mother Nature doesn't have eyes anyways...)--they've created so much power, they never intended to hurt anyone, they never intended this, but their entire goal was to CHANGE SOMETHING, desperately trying not just to bring Storm back to life and understand revival (which ofc leads to Storm COMING BACK) but also to change the Realm of the Gods and Mother Nature's control over it. And their power explodes and changes Mother Nature fundamentally, making it so that she can't meddle with them anymore even if she's fine otherwise. There's also the Gender Thing. Mother Nature gives special attention to the female gods (or who she perceives as female) for reasons that are broadly manipulative and related to her whole Motherhood thing. Anyways Tempest is kind of caught up in this despite being nonbinary, and ofc this makes their gender complex, but other gods get to be seen as nonbinary by Mother Nature but Tempest is not. Because they changed too late. They didn't know immediately so they're not allowed to change at all.
