* GHOST &. GHOSTING &. GHOSTED !

you  are  the  herald  of  andraste.  and  you  are  so,  so  scared.  these  people  do  not  trust  you,  do  not  like  you,  would  feed  you  to  the  fade  if  they  could.  they  do  not  care  if  you  follow  another  religion,  you  are  their  herald.  you  can  never  return  home  because  heroes  do  not  have  homes.  they  say  home  is  the  people  you  choose,  but  you  didn't  choose  these  people,  did  you?  every  step  you  take  aches.  thousands  reach  out  to  touch  you,  for  safety.  for  comfort.  you  are  a  black  hole  close  to  destruction,  and  you  cannot  do  this.  you  are  the  herald  of  andraste  and  you  have  not  been  yourself  for  so  long  now.

Do you think I'll like it? Gods, I hope so.

That excuse doesn't really hold any water when it's very easy to just remember that the people you interact with online are in fact human beings who don't always talk like they have an entire PR team whispering in their ears and checking everything they post.

If you were talking to someone irl and they said that they really like apples, you wouldn't expect them to immediately follow that up with "but there's nothing wrong with oranges and I think strawberries are great and I enjoy the cherries too and there's nothing wrong with you if you like pineapple and grapes are great in fruit salad and—" but that's the sort of behavior expected online.
