WARNINGS: None!

[We've reached the middle of May. By now, the app users have done a lot to help the Companions regain sunlight in their city. The post begins like the previous one had, with notifications of peoples coming and goings]

Katida, Kaveh, Nacht, and Josuke have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Yuu, Vyne, Moana, and Snow have left the app.

[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello. Thank you for using the Libra App.

Happy Mother's Day. If you don't know what is, it's a holiday where you're supposed to honor your mom and-- oh who am I kidding most of you read like people with parental issues. Not judging, I'm gonna spend the day thinking about my mom who told me I should find a more stable job instead of being an artist and now I'm here at this great job. So...do whatever gets through the day. I know I am. Also there's a holiday for father's next month, so prepare for that one too.

Anyway I don't have anything really to report. They're still treating us decently here. And it's still weird. Just thought I'd leave a message so you guys didn't assume I died again.

Bye. I'm off to order takeout and marathon something.

This post is sponsored by Meta Heroes Counseling. Need someone to talk to? We can help.

[Anyway, Users will have the option to choose their own display names and user pics if they haven't already. If nothing is chosen, the app will use their real name and a quick photo taken of them from their camera's phone. Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac.]

this intern's never gonna let that "we assumed they died" thing go are they

safe money's on parental issues being the least of anyone's problems, but i can't very well deny the point

hell no

can't say i blame them but jeez

I wish. As I hate to admit it, despite a year of dealing with all this my therapy sessions still are mostly about my father issues.

[ oh... a day to celebrate mothers, that's... really kind of cute? it makes him feel weirdly happy, in a way, if not a little somber. He's gonna laugh as he flicks open this month's zodiac post.

maybe this month he won't complain about the way the app functions, if only just to be happy about the post. just this once. ]

I didn't know there were holidays to celebrate your parents like this. It's... kind of sweet, if you ask me.

She wasn't my biological mother, but she raised me as if she was. She isn't with us anymore, ...but.

She was the most beautiful person in the world.
She taught me about love, about flowers. She told me stories about Earth, and all its wonders like forests and oceans, and its great cities. Her favorite colour was red, her favorite passtime was travelling the world.

I don't know where I'd be, or who I would be as a person if it wasn't for Rem.

How are we defining parents, here?

[Does Madarame count?]

growing up is realizing your parents were either astonishingly right, horrifically fucked up, or worst of all: somewhere uncomfortably normal in between.

Someone I went to college with once told me that the greatest gift he intended to give his parents was the trauma they gave him, tenfold.

One supposes a thank you is in order for the reminder to text my mother, underpaid desk jockey. I shall thank her for not wasting my precious younger years with poor advice.

thanks for the reminder

Sooooo...traditionally what d'you do if you ain't got parents?

Mean, logically, I must've, but... [the sound of a confused shrug]

who do you think deserves the title the most? for me it'd be the matrons of my orphanage 'cause my parents did less than spit for me.

Ignore it. S'what I do.

Yeah, it's the last one for me and believe me it haunts me all the time.

You?

I can only speak for my sister and myself but we tend to spend an inadvisable amount of time baking and trying not to think about what day it is.

Underwhelmin'. I was almost expectin' 'there's a complex ritual t' banish bad luck, go get eight of these flowers an' six of these rocks to toss in a bonfire'.

[what is wrong with you]

That's just it. My mother died when I was young but the man who raised me instead was terrible as I got older.

...what? Why?

I mean it don't bother me none. An' nobody wants me tryin' to bake nothin'.

but she named your brother knives

millions knives

like congrats on being the favorite, needlenoggin

second guy can get fucked, birth mother gets like, a day pass if you want her to have one

in my professional watched people get adopted opinion

My parents were normal, which for mages is a shocking irregularity. Normal enough that they gently suggested a career in 'anything other than magecraft', which I obviously ignored.

Just goes to show you teenagers are the dumbest creatures on the face of this and any earth, honestly.

Fair enough. Thank you.

How should I know? M' on another world, might be all kinds of weird shite people get up to here.

ngl that sounds like a name the guy chose himself

like I know guys who would ABSOLUTELY name themselves that
