Okay, I have a feeling these aren't your normal, everyday bunnies. I think regular bunnies are probably about as kind as any other small, wild animal. Which is to say not really kind just not a threat.

Fuck you, I will not cease.

[ghostinthehuman]

User,

Animals are kind; I have never known one that taxed the poor or starved the innocent. To me, kindness exists in comparison; which is to say that I do find bunnies to be kind, except the one that sucked me. Even the smallest creature could be a threat; an ant could hold a lot of anger. One day, it might crush you.

[...] Why does every person I speak with become cross when I attempt to guide them away from their vulgarities? What does obscenity gain you?

I shan't fuck, Cricket.

@ghostinthehuman replied to your post “Dear Ms. Estella, This is Cricket. Your friend...”:

Dear Ms. Estella, I would feel very improper to call you so nakedly by your first name; we are not friends. [...] I would like to be Lady Cricket. No, Lady Clay, as would be proper were I a real lady. [...] And perhaps I can call you Lady Estella, or by your family or husband's name. Mr. Henri spoke fondly of you, yes. The problem I have this crabs is thus: I have them. Perhaps a new home? Newly, Lady Clay

​Dear Lady Clay,

Oh, well, I respect your opinion, I just never want anyone to feel obligated to call me with any honorific. I shall call you Lady Clay if that is what you wish. I do not have a husband, and Lady Estella would work for me. I feel more connected to that than I do to my family name.

[ user is kicking her feet about this bc of who she is as a fae person ]

And you would like for them to find a new home? I can help with that. For sure. Not a problem at all! Do you want to keep them and have a home for them at your home, or find a totally new home for them?

Warmly,

Lady Estella

I guess

You really can

I mean I kind of like

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear Lady Estella,

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Sometimes a family is but a name; I would not think to allow yours to bind you, should you not desire it. [...] I also do not have a husband. [...] If you had any curiosity about the matter.

A new home, if the possibility exists; they do not greatly enjoy this home.

Sincerely, Lady Clay.

[hollow--sun]

Focus on the water, not the people.

Sweating, Henri.

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear Henri,

How can I focus upon the water when the people are so [...] naked?

You have "air conditioning" these days. Back in my da I never had There is no reason to be sweating and surely no reason to be [...] nude.

Appalled, Cricket

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear Wicked's Rest,

I have noticed an increase in the exposure of skin. I understand that it is hot, however, one must remember it is indecent. If you would kindly cover your bodies, I would be greatly relieved. In particular consideration around the beaches; I would like to enjoy my time in the water without being affronted by salaciousness.

How is one meant to appreciate the water if [...] private-body-areas are so barely concealed? It is distracting.

Disappointed, Cricket

[infinityandmadness]

Update! Good news. I finally found a replacement my Jurassic Park mug. Everything feels right with the world once more. The world is right once more! Anyway, animal I talked to today was a rabbit, their name is Blystal. Book I read recently, Illuminae.

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear Erin,

What is "Jurassic Park" and why is it a mug?

I, too, speak to the animals; they are lovely conversationalists. What did Blystal tell you? I am unfamiliar with that book, however. Would you recommend it?

Sincerely, Cricket.

[taliasshaw]

Oh what the fuck does No. The bunnies, thankfully, kept their teeth or whatever the fuck to the vegetables. Have you been [...] Jesus fucking Christ sucked on by a rabbit?

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear User,

A bunny did suck me, yes. The experience has fouled my sentiment on bunnies; which prior I did think to be kind.

I must put attention upon your use of the word "fuck". It is vulgar. Cease.

Serious, Cricket.

[debauchfairy]

The invite for this year's birthday/housewarming party on July 25th will be going out soon and since presents are mandatory (my presence is the only one that will be counted as a gift), here are some ideas for those poor uncreative or tasteless types.

[attached is a very robust wish list - it contains anything from decorative items in the 20-500$ range, to furniture to what seems to be the necessities for a steam room. judging by the amount of furniture, it seems as if dozens of people might comfortably live wherever those furniture are meant to be going] 

There will be space for night guests as I am sadly leaving Deer Springs for more space in Gatlin Fields.

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear User,

I notice you are frequently in varying states of undress upon your public board. I would greatly hope that this party with be of the clothed sort?

[...] Are you perchance nobility? Or of titles? What could one possibly desire such abundance for? [...] Will you be employing maids?

Suspicious, Cricket.

[theo-wallace]

Yeah, like, the parts of the brain? But no problem! I totally get it, science-y words can be tricky once you get any further than like base-level knowledge. You can always google/use the dictionary for help though

Oh, haha [user feels his face heat up] thank you! Nope, haven't knowingly married anyone, Jury's still out for sure but you also look quite pretty!

[pm] I'm a journalist! [...] I had thought that was why you wanted to talk. [user is now a touch unnerved] Alright, well color me intrigued. I look forward to hearing from you

[ghostinthehuman]

Thank you, I shall; I have developed a warm familiarity with Google. Though there are a great many things to learn, and I feel sometimes that I am ignorant to how one learns to learn.

Oh. [User blushes.] Thhtnanktyou ythank THANSK [User takes a deep breath.] Thank you. No one has ever No one has ever called me

[pm] I will warmly call very soon, Mr. Wallace. [User is too flustered to add anything else. She shuts her laptop hard enough to crack the screen.]

[asirenscream]

Dear Cricket,

I have debated also doing that! I just think the rocks are a friendly, fun outlet to do as well to decorate the outside of a home. Thank you for worrying about my hands, but I'm okay! Do not worry. I would like to think the bureau is pleased with me since I am a boss girl. I appreciate your support!

Oh, this is so exciting! I have not made up a price sheet, but for first time customers, and for a curious new friend, perhaps like... ten dollars? How does that sound? Is that too much money? I'm not sure.

Sincerely,

Wren!

[ghostinthehuman]

You didn't sign your letter as a girl boss. Are you not a girl boss anymor Dear Wren,

I like your name; wrens are beautiful birds.

I would like to buy a rock. New friend? Are we friends? Ten dollars is agreeable to me. I have no requests for the painting on the rock; perhaps it would be nice to see something you like. How do I deliver payment to you?

Your [...] new friend, Cricket.

[infinityandmadness]

Lovely Cricket,

Perhaps it is. But as I said, it is my experience that often what is beautiful is not. Whether it be aesthetically or internally.

And I will agree, in a court of law. But in any other circumstance, it is often hearsay. I can judge not to like a baker who lives down the road from me, that I claim to rip me off on the baked goods I purchase from him. Then I could get a group of my friends to agree with my claim on this baker. Then they would tell their friends. All of a sudden, the baker is evil, and I've suddenly decreased his traffic to his bakery. Eventually, he has to shut down because people think he's been ripping people off on baked goods. I would be wicked for having done this. But, because, as you say, we are judged by others, so we are what others judge? The baker will forever be the bad guy, and he will no longer be able to bake in our town again. Mwah. Hah. Hah. Twisting my evil mustache, because now I could take over the entire baking market, just as planned, and my peers would judge me good, and virtuous, and cheer my evil rise to power on. You get it? If we let society rule by judgments, the wicked can still win, maybe even more easily than we think, by using people's good nature against themselves. A true society will crumble under such a thing as this.

I bet they can and very often are. But, I'm not here to convince you otherwise. Just be cautious of thinking like that, because one day, these judgments could be turned against you, in a way you might not like. To be liked under another's standards is to be controlled. Judgment is a method of control, nothing of etiquette. Who lied to you and told you otherwise?

That's not what I'm asking. Rabbits don't usually drink blood. I was asking if it really drank your blood. But I have my answer now, lol.

No. I work in construction. I suppose I wouldn't be too bad at wood craft? Why, have you ever tried it before?

Yes. Things often bred in captivity cannot be reallocated to the wilds, not properly.

Sincerely, Erin

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear Erin,

[...] I [...] am considering your words. But God would surely But [User is having trouble conjuring any arguments, but what "Erin" is saying is so contrary to how she was raised. Still, she does know how damaging a rumour can be to one's reputation. She decides to ignore it, because it's making her head hurt.]

One must be controlled. Human nature is sinful and without guidance, one will sin. [...] You are hurting my head.

No, I do not understand what the denomination of "construction" means. One constructs many things; and many things may be constructed. What do you construct?

I did not know that. How would I know where these crabs have been bred?

Sincerely, Cricket

[hollow--sun]

Oh the Galapagos are a must if you are fond of animals. I too have a wish list of places I would love to go to. I'm into human history myself so they're more inhabited places. The Nile Valley, and then I'd move onto old Mesopotamia, head to Turkey, Greece, Italy. And that would be just one zone I'm interested in.

Ophelia is a rather popular name, yes. It's an old name, from Ancient Greece, although you have to wait until Shakespeare's Hamlet for the name to be transfigured into a symbol. Ophelia in that play knows tragedy in many forms. She falls in love with someone who gave her false hopes and kills her father. In her grief, her sense of sanity slips and she eventually falls to her death, drowning in a pond. So I'd say it's a name that speaks of forsaken love, of grief and patriarchy’s toll on women.

But regardless of that, I think it's a beautiful name and it cannot predict the quality of one's life. You can't always look at symbols for guidance. I'm no king, but I like my name.

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear Mr. Henri,

I admit with embarrassment that history is my weakest subject of knowledge. I would like to know about these places you wish to visit. There is old history all over the globe, is there not? It seems to me that you could go anywhere at all and become lost in history.

[...] Yes, I am aware of the name's use in Hamlet. How remarkable that it is still the first Ophelia that comes to mind It is a name to evoke tragedy then? Ophelia was happy once, but I suppose it is her later madness and death that prevail memory.

Can it not? What else might guide a life other than the symbols? How else would you know how to live?

Sincerely, Cricket

[taliasshaw]

Anyone with gardening or rabbit experience, please help. Caught some jackasses bunnies rooting around my beets and turnips but they didn't even eat them. Just dug them up and [...] gnawed on them a little bit. And like killed them? Drank the juice out of them? Any suggestions are appreciated otherwise I'm just going to eat them next full moon.

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear User,

Perchance did the bunny suck you?

Curious, Cricket.

[kadavernagh]

Hello. Can someone tell me what the feck a flurrator is? I currently have several live animals in my office, running around, and the only information I have is on a sticky note that was on my door. There should be no live animals in my office other than the beetles. The flurrator delivery person was mistaken.

I think they ate one of my bones! I mean, not-- never mind. How does one remove flurrators? Is there a flurrator removal service?

Do they not realize we are going to have a fire inspection next month?

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear User,

Please describe the flurrator in vivid anatomical detail; a greater understanding is needed. Might you include a drawing as well? You may have a new discovery upon you; much like Darwin! I believe that strict scientific observation is of the utmost importance—then they will name the creature after you, like the finches!

What colour is the creature? What does it eat? Is it a bird or a dog or a cat? What sound does it make? How many eyes does it have? How many legs?

Why would one need to inspect a fire?

Desiring more information, Cricket.

[the-lil-exorcist]

God is anyone else's mom traditional with weddings? I've just spent the last two weeks writing congratulation and or threat cards for like half of the town. Also does anyone have a good threat that I should put in. I've been using "be happy or else" but that's like kinda boring.

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear User,

Why are you insulting people on their wedding? You should not be threatening anyone. You are very rude and shall never have a wedding yourself if you continue down this evil path.

Concerned, Cricket.

[asirenscream]

Dear Curious Cricket,

Rocks that have been painted on by me! I can put whatever image you would like, within reason. I'm not super good at painting dragons just yet. So that's off the table. It's girl boss because I am making my own business venture! I don't know what this whole 'Better Business Bureau' nonsense is, but I'm bossing and bettering my business!

Sincerely,

Girl Boss Wren

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear Ms. Girl Boss Wren,

I would not ask you to put a dragon on a rock. Why not sell your paintings on canvas instead? The rock must be too small a surface to create much detail; and I worry for the health of your hands. I do not know what that is either but it sounds to me quite lovely that your business is bossed and better; the bureau must be very pleased with you.

What is the cost of one of your rocks? I would like to buy one. I think

Sincerely, Cricket.

@ghostinthehuman replied to your post “What keeps you going?”:

Dear User, I feel the same! How delightful to see another good soul fighting the unholy waves of this vulgar letter-board. Your humble friend, Cricket.

​[user considers instantly blocking whoever this maniac is but figures maybe there is some amusement to be had here] 

That's me, just a humble warrior of the good word of Jesus against all those filthy sinners.

[ghostinthehuman]

Dear hero,

I am very delighted by the information you have shared with me! This Godless place is terrible; and I thought I might never meet another soul with any sense. You would not comprehend the sluttery I have witness—by accident! I would never seek out such filthy things.

Which Church do you attend?

Your friend, Cricket.
