          I mean I didn’t know the recent news until you said something and I looked it up so I wouldn’t assign anything nefarious to it.

          Looks like @watno is just choked up by something that happened if I had to guess, emotional about a story?

                I am more shaken up by Ainsley’s death than I really thought I would be. Now I’m like — idk. Spinning in circles.

                  @Cobalt Me too, tbh. Foundational. He was a very high passion character so it makes sense that he got into your heartmeats, though.

                  let it be a challenge to you

                      Ah it was a profound character death. Got it.

                        I feel a bit bad. I see all the emits and how people talk about stuff going on and think it would be fun. However, I don’t feel invested, at all. I am pretty certain it is because most of what is talked about I don’t understand. I don’t really do much for combat characters so I don’t sign up for much cause a lot of the bigger plot stuff has combat focused. I also would rather ‘give up’ a spot I would take to people who are invested and know all the stuff going on. I am not big on huge scenes anymore, can’t handle them like I did when I was younger… I also know if I go to the ‘info dump’ scenes people do, I’ll get overwhelmed and confused.

                        I /want/ to feel invested, I just don’t for above reasons.

                                  watching tv

                                  I’ve enjoyed watching all the scenes my friends are in and cheering for them. SOME SAD SACRIFICES. Some major badasses. GOOD LUCK. Arx has had a wild ride and a lot of good stories.

                                      I get two things from reading stuff from this thread.

                                      1. That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.

                                      2. That Arx, even with all of it’s trouble throughout its history, is a pretty good example of ‘doing it right’ in our hobby.

                                      Congrats to all you Arx players and staff for doing cool stuff.

                                        I’ve had a few weeks to sit with my thoughts, and I must say that I’m actually really grateful that this story had a concrete, definite ending. I’ve never actually seen a story through to the extent that I have with Arx. There are inevitably some loose threads that never got tied off, but not every thread really needs to be.

                                        Every other MU* I’ve been on has just sort of fizzled out like a friendship that’s run its course, but I’m really grateful that this ended up feeling story-shaped from beginning to end. It’s not an ‘ending’ for the characters, and I’m left to tantalizing daydreams about what happened after the curtain fell, and that’s a valuable thing to have.

                                          And on an unrelated note:

                                          I was discussing this with @kalakh - I so wish Arx had the budget of big story projects like Vox Machina or Critical Role, because this setting would make for such a kickass Graphic Novel or Animated Series. Argh!
