The best way I manage to deal with everyone when they're being a dillweed is to deal with them on their level. Zrael is full of a bunch of weird bumbags with weird feelings about weird things so in order to wrangle the answer or action I'm looking for-- or what I ultimately think is the best or healthier decision-- I usually have to figure out their specific way of feeling about something first.
I never said anything that Ashley did was good or right, but if I sat there and went "you're wrong now apologize" she would have just laughed me off and I wouldn't have gotten anywhere with her about you in the first place. Doodles is wrong but I'm not going to disregard his feelings, either, because ultimately with him it comes down to the fact that he isn't a person like you or me, and he's terrified, and a terrified animal is one that bites. Kinda like you, I guess. You feel cornered and bite too, so I'm doing my best trying to figure out how to not corner you when I talk while still being open to acknowledging that everyone else has feelings too. I've known them longer-- I'm still adjusting to you. So I'm trying, okay?
I don't want you to be a dumb robot otherwise I would have told you to join these vaporwave nerds. And I don't actually think you're capable of it to begin with cuz you're human and humans are full of feelings all the time.
But when it comes to "unconditional support" and all that jazz-- I don't know, Maki, that's how it was when I told you you should just join us! I'm not a freakin' psychic! I couldn't have looked forward a month and been like "oh haha actually it's gonna be a huge trashfire better not!" How was I supposed to predict this? But that's not even the point! The point is "unconditional love" is still a thing and I love everyone on Zrael, dude. Maybe not all the same level, but I do. And part of the love of the others is still loving you even when you fight or get angry. You don't stop loving someone just cuz you think they did something stupid otherwise I wouldn't love Doodles at all. And the others do stupid junk ALL THE TIME and I don't like it, I don't like Doodles effectively being a murder weapon or Red wanting to "lovingly" kill us all in games now or Ashley having a stupid death kink or you having hurt me too before but I love you all cuz you're mine.
