[ANONYMOUS TEXT]

[The anon text on the network tonight is simple and to-the-point, hitting at about eleven at night; it seems that somebody isn't sleeping easily.]

Is there a way to stop hating someone?

If not, is there at least a way to stop being so angry about it all the time?





[ACTION]

[While he's not straying too far from the house he and his classmates have more or less taken over (with the assistance of a ridiculous amount of Eevees), Ishimaru can be found wandering around outside tonight; he's staying close to the breeding center and the like, but he's definitely seeming more restless than usual, his actions aimless. He's been having difficulty sleeping for almost a week now; it probably shows in his mannerisms and his speech - everything has been seeming less enthusiastic than usual - but he's been trying to keep up appearances, if nothing else.

At least he's not alone for the time being; he's got Eeveemaru with him - one of the members of the great furball legion from the house, all decked out in what looks like a little replica of Ishimaru's coat and armband (because if Togami thinks he's getting any aspect of this back - Eevee or outfit - he's got another thought coming to him, apparently). The thing is just kind of chilling on his shoulders for now, seeming a bit bewildered at being outside at a reasonably late hour but not too bothered otherwise; once in a while it bats at something not visible to anyone but there nonetheless - seems he's got Aiko with him as well, though the Misdreavus isn't visible for now.

It's late, and he's tired, but at least the night is nice, if a bit overcast. Maybe it'll rain soon, who knows. He just doesn't feel like being inside.]

You could kick them in the head.

From a very high place.

Shame. It's very cathartic. And as an added bonus, it sure shuts the person up for a while.

I thought it best to offer a tested method.

[To be fair, it was both deserved and necessary.]

That limits things a bit. I guess you could always try talking it out with them, but sometimes they're just full of bullshit.

Is threatening them an option? Only implied violence, there. Otherwise you could try to trick them into doing what you'd like, but that could be very tough unless they're an idiot.

Sometimes even when they are an idiot, really. If all else fails, you could attempt to cut them out of your life completely.
surpassedjupiter: (are you an idiot)

But not anymore, right?

[...]

Do you hate them because you feel like they're limiting your potential in some way?
surpassedjupiter: (secret agent (wo)man)

[personal profile] surpassedjupiter 2013-11-06 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. Have they done anything since to try and make up for that?
surpassedjupiter: (omg it's just a deathneedle chill out)

[personal profile] surpassedjupiter 2013-11-06 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Do they know how you feel about what they did?
surpassedjupiter: (i wonder if you can eat abt)

You'd be surprised at how different someone's morals and values can be. They might think that you understand their decision completely, if you haven't spoken up about it.

Depends on whether you're the self-sacrificing type or not, I guess.

There are some people who just won't change, no matter how much everyone else might want them to. If you really aren't able to forget your obligations to them, you may just be left to tolerate them as best you can. Doesn't help the anger, but you already ruled out a kick to the head and I assume drugging them to a sleeping state is off the table as well.
