So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?

I'd like to continue the all-star train, but shit's going down right now.



An old friend of mine at school has just lost their dad today.



She's clearly hurting. Strong enough not to cry in front of the class, for reasons uncertain, but affected enough to be visibly upset, in pain, vocalizing her will to die (though I've done this too without a real will to die, in the reasoning that vocalizing and externalizing things can help), and such.

...so I'm trying to figure out how to help her.

I never even tried to get to know her.

I'm the worst at emotional support (just yesterday, I tried to help someone with anxiety and autism and miserably failed), and not always good at advice. I can listen but can never seem to understand. I feel concerned enough to want to talk to her and maybe help if I can. I have no idea how I'll do it, but wish me luck.

Alternatively, I'd... I'd like some advice myself.

How do I approach this shit?

I'm an apathetic mess with difficulty understanding emotion, should I capitalize on logic, or try and just... wing it?

I feel I should at least try.

I don't know many people that she talks to or can be supported by.

She and I have known each other since middle school, initially as acquaintances, so I never really got to know her, and primarily associated her with the "badass girl" type.

I wonder if it's the badasses like her that hurt the most.
Westonini
In some situations it's better to just not say much if anything at all. Sometimes people just need to be alone for a bit to get their emotions out and sort out their thoughts. Especially since she's the "badass girl" type like you think she is, she most likely would prefer to not show herself to others while in such a vulnerable state.

But depending on how close you two are, it might be a good idea to at least let her know you empathize for her. You could even say something along the lines of "I'm here to talk if you ever need to." I don't know this person like you do though so my suggestions may or may not be helpful.
Achromalia
Mmh. I agree to some extent.

I messaged her on discord with no response. I'll wait it out, but if nothing happens, I'll refrain from prodding much further.

It's been a good hour or so, so maybe she needs time to herself before anything, but still, it's a yikes situation.

i'm playing osu again -w-

oh and i suck at making skins.

i can't make a proper skin in the existing skinning websites because of missing textures and sprites 'n' whatever.

wished i knew how but eghhhh
Westonini
I've only ever mashed together skins by using my favorite parts of other skins. I only use it for myself though of course. I just go into the files and replace things.
Achromalia
i suppose i should try and figure how to do that myself.

anyways, for now, i'll be watching youtube.
Tad Fibonacci
This is hard, should I continue the all Star song or should I be serious?

Hmm...

I'm searching up "Achromatism" and I'm finding some interesting things.

If only this name just wasn't used everywhere, what the fuck.

Some guy on last.fm has my name, and a deviantart account used mine as well at some point but has moved from that account or something, so that's a moderate yikes.

what the fuck

I suppose I didn't choose a very original name, that kinda sucks. It'll be hard to be me and prove that I'm myself and not someone else, trying to fend off impostors and whatnot.

but there's some interesting things regarding the medical definitions and such which was why I chose the name. Chromatic abberation is a pretty damn cool concept to me now and in some sense, represents me.

but with all things considered,

kms've.
