Ah. Good, good.

@Melodious

You know, it's good to have connections like this! You never know when it'll come in handy, like today.

Ahh. Gotcha. Do they just let people come here for free, by the way?

@Melodious

I pay. It's super affordable though.

Are they out, is that why we haven’t seen them?

@Melodious

*Point toward the rock-laden building, which connects to an outdoor walking trail with flower gardens along the paths, leading to another set of buildings barely visible beyond the natural stone boundaries enclosing the spring*
They're usually around working somewhere. Cute old couple.

It’s a lot of things, really.
*Tilts my head back and faces straight up*
Man, hot water is sooo nice for loosening up.

@Melodious

I like this spring cuz it’s so peaceful. And the owners are just adorable.

Another difference depending on before versus now. Absolutely nothing before. People are gonna hate, and it is what it is. Now, though? When I was slandered and falsely accused of major crimes? Well, that’s a work in progess tied to stuff we talked about before we came here.

@Melodious

That sounds more like harassment!

I’d say percent-wise, it was small before. Now it’s much more.

@Melodious

What do you do about it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Now, definitely. Before, depends. It’d be a big number if you counted them, but there are a lot of people in the IA who have at least heard my name before. Like a lot.

@Melodious

So it sorta balances out?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

When you become popular enough to be called famous by any metric, you do garner haters by nature. I’m sure something like that is the sad truth to their motivation.

@Melodious

Do you get a lot of haters?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Huh?

@Melodious

Like, if you’re making something for someone else, do they ever get jealous because they couldn’t do something like that, and take it out on you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Not for my own opinion of myself, I don’t. I like what I do, I enjoy what I do, and if something I make or do is not something that I like, then it gets redone, or binned entirely. If others see value in it too, then great. That means I’m on my A-game, or that they can relate, or the quality is high, or all of the above. But if something exists with my name on it, you can bet that I enjoyed it and thought it was worth.

@Melodious

The quality is too high?
