Kid… I understand your worries for Styx and although I’m not the best at this sort of thing, I’m going to tell you this now. What Styx did wasn’t because of you, it was for you. The man really bloody cares about you to the point he almost threw off a arcdamned Machamp! Im certain once he’s well and healed up he’s probably gonna give you a hug so tight not even a Bewear could match it.

That aside, seems you’ve now got a new team member! Not to mention one you already have a good bond with from the rescue you pulled off - L

i- but they wouldn't have tracked him down in the first place if i was just... a good kid.

i can never be a good enough kid, though. so he got hurt.

i'm still anxious about raising sir snappington - well, he's snappy now, 'cause of shelter policy n all. i... can't do this. i need styx.

You don’t necessarily need to be good to do good, if that makes any sense. All that really matters is doing right by what you see as right. Even if others might say you aren’t good like those sorry excuses of “parents” but as long as you keep to your own tempo and do what you feel is right then im damned sure you’ll be great

At the very least Snappy seems to really enjoy having you as their trainer, even before… all that unfolded. Apparently the poor guy waited a good few minutes at the door according to Styx.

As for Styx himself tho.. look the medics know what they’re doing and especially with how bad things got with him I’m certain that he’s top priority for them right now. Once he’s back up I’m sure things will get better with time, though be mindful he might be partially blinded for a good while - L

u/EepyWriter avatar

i... i can't believe that right now, i'm sorry. i'll try, but... it's so hard. i will work hard for snappy, though, he doesn't deserve to be dragged down with me.

he's all i have right now.

u/Void-kraken-909 avatar

That’s understandable. Though I can assure you that you aren’t alone, as you’ve still got Cal and Nyx too don’t you? Not to mention Styx’s buddy at the shelter too

Just.. atleast promise you won’t do anything drastic ok Gō?

Listen, you did nothing wrong. You had a lot of bad things happen to you at home right? I didn't run away from my home, but it wasn't good. You aren't to blame for what happened to Styx, you tried to protect him and he wanted to save you. If you had fought back at the shelter it could have gone so much worse.

You are a great person, you are full of love and I know it's hard to see that. I sometimes can't see it in me, but please don't beat yourself up for what others decided. This isn't Styx, Nyx, or your fault. Your parents and the goons they hired made the choice to come and hurt you and Styx.

u/EepyWriter avatar

i mean, i see the logic, i just can't accept it right now, i'm sorry.

i'll try to look after myself, though, for you... and for styx.

-Gō

u/EonAraminta avatar

It's okay. I feel like a bad kid for missing home when I gained so much here. It's hard to stop feeling bad. I hope you have an easier time feeling better about yourself than I do.

I need to get my hands on some of those sunglasses...

No matter how you feel about the situation, which by the way is not and could never be your fault, what's important is the present. You're here, right now, past one of the most stressful weeks I could ever imagine. And what matters now is that you're here. Styx might not be responding, but I know that he appreciates you being there for him. And I know that as soon as he's able to make requests, he'll immediately be asking for you.

In the meantime, it's time for you to relax. Get some rest. Talk with Cal. Scroll through Chatter. Do whatever you need to do to pass the time.

u/EepyWriter avatar

i think... i might just sleep. i'll be honest, i kinda just wanna pass out for a couple of months, but i know i can't do that. cal would probably not let me.

Gō.

From what I have seen and read, none of this is your fault.

I realize how hard that is to believe but it’s true.

You look at all the bad things that happened to people you love and you think it’s because of decisions you made or things you’ve done. I get it. I did the same thing when Dad got arrested. I assumed it was because I was weak or a bad child or that I’d failed him.

But that wasn’t the case. What happened to Dad was because of his choices. Other people make choices, often ones that’ll hurt each other. Sometimes they don’t realize it or they do and they don’t care. You are not responsible for the choices other people make. Ever.

Hey, it's uh, Cal here.

Gō read your message, maybe 8 times? And is now huddled away, crying in his room with Snappy (which is SUCH a cute nickname for Sir Snappington, by the way). I'm fairly sure they're good tears. He uh... gave me a hug first. A really fast one, sorta "lemme barrel into ya, break ya ribs, n then bounce" type thing, ya know?

He's a tough kid, but even the strongest can break under pressure. I'm just so happy he's got so many people supporting him, sharing their experiences with him.

I'll keep an eye on him, just in case.

And, obviously, Project Yoghurt is still a go. I'll let him choose if he wants to help out. I think he will. (Did you know Mr. Wibbles has merch? And that he somehow has that merch? And that I only just connected the Wobbuffet statue in a chef's hat and apron he has in his room with you guys? Wild.)

…I cannot believe there is unlicensed merch of my Wobbuffet out there. How do I not have royalties on this? And how did I not think of making merch either?!

Ovan: glad to see you back home kid, and sorry with what you had to deal with for the past couple of days.

"if i'd just behaved"

If you just "behaved" you would be miserable for a long time. Styx fought tooth and nail so that you could be happy.

I'm really glad you're safe! Now you just gotta to the "and sound" part of the saying, which I am absolutely sure you will.

None of this is your fault, and Styx knows that and will repeat it as many times as it takes, I'm sure.

And, hey, congrats on Sir Snappington!
