Guys, can we be more diplomatic about this? If we do that, we're going to be burning a bridge for no absolute reason at all.

I mean "for no absolute reason" isn't complety true. We are trying to save a life here. Lysa has survived for 7 years on her own. So unless something changes, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for her to wait a little bit longer. I mean we weren't even tasked to help her. Daeva is responsible for her from what I understand. I also presume Lysa knows what blessed dirt is used for. So I think she would understand if our mind is more preoccupied with our current main goal. If she were to think of herself as a bigger priority than getting the blessed dirt, then I would think of her as a pretty selfish person. If she is a seflish person then there is no point in "building bridges" with her yet.
 
I think Lysa can handle the fact we're in a hurry...sorta. Remember, Relative time. Us standing here talking isn't actually gonna waste that much time because...that's not how time works.

Except we actually have only one Tick left to save him, so... We're literally going to get there just in the nick of time unless we faff around way too much.
 
[X] Things are confusing right now -but that can wait just a little longer.
[X] Ask if she knows the location of the Blessed Dirt
-[X] Enquire what it is Lysa is after and whether it's on our way to the Dirt.

There's 'we're in a hurry, sorry can't help', and then there's doing it in a needlessly aggressive way.

he's talking about the total word count based on threadmarks. Usually used to see how big a read you have ahead of you - in this case, 6000 words in a 364 page thread. its all art! Most quests don't have that much art in them, let alone be made of the art.

Yo, the only reason there's any text in the posts at all is to add spooky lore.
 
[X] Apologize to our host/self/slave/whateverthefuck for making him hyper-focused like that.

Interesting quest.
 
Terrene Spire.

Terrene Spire was made almost four years ago, just around when undertale came out.

Terrene Spire started four months before my dad died.

Terrene Spire started six months before my mom found out she has dementia.

Terrene Spire was worked upon as another of my passion projects for years and years, thought about, functionally defining an entire combat system, an interactive menu and everything that entails.

Terrene Spire has been an incredible ride but also born in the absolutely toughest and most traumatic part of my life.

While I suffered my brother's injustices, Terrene Spire was there as a thing I thought about constantly.

While I helped my mother grieve over my father, Terrene Spire was there.

My mother has never gotten over dad. Mom's still grieving him, but the dementia has left her docile and she doesnt think of him a lot.

My brother went insane trying to keep his idea of our family together.

Four months ago I asked my brother to never contact me again.

a month after that he got married to his GF.

I ran away and he got his finger out of his ass because his easy workhorse wasnt listening anymore.

And through all my strife, my constant arguing, my attempts at making these narcissists understand that I am not a neurotypical person and I dont have the resources they demand of me...

Terrene Spire was there.

I have almost 20 gigabytes of Terrene Spire files on my PC.

Terrene Spire's image files, JUST the image files, is already over 2500 images.

I feel like hell for saying that I don't feel any joy from making Terrene Spire anymore.

I made it for the very reason I made all my other stories. I made them for attention.

The only positive attention in my life is the reactions to my stories.

It's not hyperbole to say that you people have saved me from wanting to kill myself many times over these, four years.

Four years of Terrene Spire.

And I feel so little anymore. I dont want to work on Terrene Spire anymore.

I poured my heart and soul into it all through the hardest part of my life that I have ever been through.

Terrene Spire.

I feel like an asshole for saying I dont want to work on Terrene Spire anymore.

You guys have given me so much, you have even given me ACTUAL FUCKING MONEY, something I have, regretted, a LOT.

I feel like a thief, a cheat and a scamp, an absolute monster.

I have wasted your money again and again.

At the same time that money has helped me stay alive...

And its all because of this forum and Terrene Spire.

And I dont want to work on Terrene Spire anymore.

I dont know what else to say.

I am sorry everyone. I have failed you once more.

"Why don't you try writing an ending for once."

"Why don't you try writing an ending for once."

"Why don't you write an ending for once."

"why."

"why."

"why."
 
@Dexexe1234 I'm glad that TS helped you through a hard time in life and last thing we want is for you to work on something you don't enjoy anymore. Lots of authors/GMs left a story when they didn't have fun with it anymore and that is fine! The muse is a thing that comes and goes, but you should follow it wherever it takes you and we shall support it.

I don't regret finding story years ago and I still have good memories of it. Lots of stories don't get finished but that doesn't make them lose value, or diminish those that make them.

We support your decision and hope in future you find a project you are passionate about again. :D
 
Well, you seem to be doing not well, but better than last time. So progress. That sort of shit takes time.

As for Terrene Spire? Just leave it, start a different project that isn't so loaded. Maybe in a few years, you'll find you have a more positive view of this. If not, well, there's always something else to work on. Leaving a work unfinished is just about the opposite of unusual on the internet.
 
I feel kinda of sad that it's over, but I would feel even worst if you did Terrene Spine without enjoying it, forcing yourself to do something out of some misplaced sense of obligation.

@Dexexe1234 you don't owe us anything, we owe you for sharing this beautiful story with us, you had no obligation of writing or drawing any of Terrene Spire, you could have kept all for yourself but you didn't and all of us thank you for that.
 
@Dexexe1234 Mate, I think that I can speak for a large chunk of the readers of this when I say that it not being finished does not, in any way, take away from the quality of this story. What there is of this is fantastic and I don't care if it never gets finished. If you don't enjoy writing/drawing this, then don't. Find something you do enjoy, and do that instead. I will always respect the ability to acknowledge and accept that something isn't fun anymore and ending it more than keeping it going because it's popular. Take some time, let yourself recover. Make what you want to make and you'll find an audience for it.
