WHO: Neuvillette and You (TM)
WHERE: The Libra App
WHEN: End of November
WHAT: Local judge seeks the advice of an impartial forum (Asking for a friend. Who is definitely not him). Please be gentle.
WARNINGS: Some swearing


I have been made aware that this forum format, Am I The ***hole, enables casual conversation efficiently.

I am writing this on behalf of someone I know (who is not related to myself) in the hopes of receiving varied opinions.

Forgive the vulgarity, but the judgements may be any of the following:

• YTA - You're The ***hole


• NTA - Not The ***hole


• NAH - No ***holes Here


• ESH - Everyone Sucks Here


• INFO - More Information Needed

AITA for disagreeing with my former brother-in-law?

Edit: It were truly minor disagreements. Maximilian and I have fought before with injury on a magnitude far greater than the conflict I have had with his party during the intervention, and yet I hold no ill will towards him for that encounter.

I (M1500) have a brother Auguste (M3000) who was married to Maximilien (M3500). They separated amicably when I was out of the country, and as I understand, remained good friends.

Maximilien and my family have some history together. By various circumstance, he, along with other acquaintances, have come into possession of some important family heirlooms, the loss of which has caused us great distress. Auguste seems to have looked past this. I have not.

I have recently returned, and have learnt that Auguste had run into some trouble, and Maximilien had planned a sort of 'intervention' to help him. I was of the opinion that Maximilien no longer has any right to interfere with our personal affairs, and I did not trust the people involved in the intervention, either.

I admit, I may have been in the wrong here, because I was not around when Auguste fell into misfortune, and therefore I was not privy to the exact nature of his circumstance. Maximilien also truly cares about Auguste, but I cannot forget the loss of our heirlooms.

During the intervention, I had some minor disagreements with Maximilien and his party. It all worked out in the end, and Auguste has been saved. I am unfortunately still deemed to be in error, but I was merely concerned about my brother. AITA?

Oh, please tell me those ages are accurate. Because I should say it throws any hope of subtlety out the window.

I changed the ages.

Why, pray tell, are you asking strangers instead of speaking with everyone directly?

You can’t seriously believe that we can solve this for you.

No, unfortunately, he has a right to do this.

AITA is a sacred tradition to resolve disputes in this world.

I am not very good with speaking to the involved parties directly, thus I have turned to the network.

My friend. I meant. He is not good at talking.

Action, because he's right there when this goes live

[loupmorque]

[ here wrio is, once again definitely not aimless as hell because being aboveground is literally Capital S for Sucks and then his phone goes off and in this moment he wonders if he should just go outside and lay in the snow.

He slowly lowers his phone to ... look across the room where Neuvillette is quietly seething over his iPhone and he just. melts furthur into the armchair he's taken over. ]

Remember when I said addressing the Insane People On This App was probably not the best course of Action, your honor.

[ this is not going to go Well ]

[godmaker]

[you are not escaping this wriothesley. we are having this conversation whether you like it or not. neuvillette tries and miserably fails to school his face into Not Bewildered.]

This is for. Someone who is not me.

ya'llre how old and still got nothing better to do?

does this whatever the fucks mean more to 'your friend' than your friends brother??

[godmaker]

I am of a normal age. My friend has been conflicted about his priorities, thus he has asked me to ask the network on his behalf.

INFO NEEDED: What were the heirlooms?

[godmaker]

I cannot say without revealing too much. But it is similar to vast swathes of prime real estate.

[aslowburn]

You should not feel like a lesser person for not forgiving a slight done against you. If something has hurt you, you have every right to remain angry about it as long as you see fit. No one else has a right to tell you when you can stop hurting, can stop being angry. That is yours and yours alone.

...Particularly when family is involved.

[godmaker]

I am angry. I have been angry and I do not like it; I do not like what I become. But without this anger I am without purpose. I am conflicted on how to proceed.

INFO: what disagreements did you have?

[godmaker]

[very long typing bubble]

Minor ones. There may have been some superficial blows. They are not of great import to the question.

[stripartist]

[Oh he did this a few times in college.]

YTA. If you really cared about your brother, you would have put aside your own problems--which were very clearly yours alone--and focused on helping him instead of getting into any sort of disagreement.

[godmaker]

What do you mean mine alone? My suspicions were valid. It was because of Maximilien that my brother fell into trouble in the first place.

action, because you know.... she's ALSO present.

[majeste]

[ what is she going to do with you, neuvillette? she is torn between grabbing hold of him and violently shaking or just walking over and wrapping her arms around him in a hug. the second is a thought that surprises her, in truth, as while their relationship was always a close one there were lines that one never crossed.

until recently it seems. ]

My dear Iudex, I think I must agree with the Duke. This may not have been the best course of action. [ with a dramatic sigh she emerges from the kitchen, phone in her hand. ] I, for one, definitely think you should have... adjusted the ages.

[godmaker]

[neuvillette’s face instantly relaxes when he sees her.]

Furina. [aaaaand that furrow in his brow is back.] I already have. I am more than two thousand years old, and Morax is certainly more than thrice that.

Seek answers from those whom you trust rather than the judgement of strangers, speak plainly about your feelings, and be open to answers you may dislike. Your grudge is your own, and only you can decide whether the weight is worth continuing to carry.

Ah, and be sure to be well-fed and hydrated. I am told the living are more likely to make decisions they are satisfied with when their physical needs are met.

[godmaker]

[just ignoring the words of wisdom thanks, because he said the magic word: hydration.]

I am as well-hydrated as can be, and yet I find myself with this conundrum. My friend, I mean. Who I posted on behalf of.

Am I correct in assuming that you are not part of the living?

un: captainkenway

[jackdawvision]

Bloody hell, YTA, and if you can’t see why then let me give you a hint: the heirlooms aren’t as important as you think they are, if Auguste decided to look past their loss.

[godmaker]

He is - was - he had fraternized with. Maximilien and his ilk for far too long. He is biased.
