I know how bad that title sounds, but let me give you some context: I (28F) am the head wizard of a kingdom, my brother and two best friends are also ruling over their own kingdoms. The problems began to start when this girl, SB (116F) (second initial added for differentiation) arrived and brought a demon with her. This demon began to terrorize everyone, but it came to a head when my brother had the idea of hiding our enemy's precious cod head in the End. Of course I was in no way involved in this decision and told him it was a dumb idea. The only way to get out of the End is to kill the dragon, which my friend, SM (M) warned us would free the demon (who was also his brother?? Idk) so we hurried to save the dragon, but she died anyway.
My friend, MS, (M) had been awfully close to the demon this whole time, but I began to become concerned when he invited us to an arena event. Now, we respawn after death so it seemed like fun, but as the night went on, MS tried to summon the demon, I fled back to my home, where I found MS trying to kill the dragon egg I had saved. Me and MS began to fight, it resulted in us fighting at the top of a tower, when the demon seemed to lose control over him, he begged me to kill him, and, although I felt guilty, I obligated.
He respawned and he's freed, but he's acting scared of me, which makes me mad because I'm not holding a grudge for the time he kidnapped me and killed me multiple times. Maybe I feel a little bad about killing him, but he respawned, so I'm not sure what he has to complain about (about me, he can complain about the demon all he wants)
Edit: we trapped the demon in a crystal, so don't worry about him anymore
So I (28F) recently got put in a death game. All the other people had been in at least one before, but I was only thrown in for a day and given no context. This was the fifth season and we were all given a task we had to complete each day.
A bunch of my friends from previous lives were also there, and I teamed up with two of them I (M) and S (M). S had previously won and I was very close to winning multiple times, so they seemed like good picks.
We were getting along mostly well until the seventh session, when I received a task asking to kill everyone on the server. I obviously warned my friends to stay away from me that day and went to kill B (M). B had been allied with I multiple times, so when I heard us asking for a tribute, he immediately volunteered. B killed him and he joined us.
In this same session, I ended up killing my best friend, P (F). My friend S did survive, but I did try to kill him multiple times.
The next session I was a red life and was tasked to kill people. I ended up killing P due to a task, but she forgave me, (we may have gone on a killing spree together afterwards). Then I and Scott (both on yellow) offered to sacrifice their lives to me so I could gain hearts, I accepted, putting them on red.
In the final session, S, P, me, and P's friend G, were the last ones left. S was down to 2 hearts and asked me to kill him, and I did. I got third place.
I feel kind of guilty about killing my friends so many times, but I feel all of them had a good reason, but AITA?
I (27f) have this ex boyfriend, I'll call him S. (28M) So, my and S's health is linked, which is mostly why we started dating in the first place. (We were friends then. Not anymore.) We weren't together very long, and S came out as gay shortly after we broke up. (I just want to clarify, I'm not homophobic. I just hate him.)
Now, why do I hate him so much? So, I followed my friend, M (32M) into the Nether, and when we came out, S and his best friend, — M's soulbound — C (?NB), were really mad at us, for quote unquote 'abandoning' them. S and C decided they were going to leave me and M, and live together instead. I thought 'that's fine, I can just live with M', but no, M left me too. I was now completely alone, and everyone else thinks I'm insane. To make matters worse, S and C started hitting each other with axes just to hurt me and M. S also called me batshit insane, and says I'm the reason he's gay. (We were together for a few days. I did not do anything wrong until after we broke up.)
I will admit, maybe I didn't have to do some of the stuff I did, but I'm just asking, aita for hating him?
I (M30), got turned into a Watcher quite a few years ago, and I couldn't handle not having something to Watch, so I put my friends into a death game- I joined too. It was really good for me but it's been five games now and people are starting to saying I'm the asshole for doing this. They don't know I'm a Watcher though, and I've gone in every single death game with them. This was a lot nicer than any other Watcher, and I did curse one of them, but it was an accident! I think my friends should understand that I have needs, but they're just saying I can't put people in death games, and refusing to understand.
It's been about a week since everything happened and I'm still trying to process this myself, so please bear with me. Sorry for the long background context.
I (~27M) and my little brother Ac (22M) grew up on an island with really famous and influential parents. I knew since I was a child that our parents wanted me to carry on the family legacy on the island, and I did everything I could to do that (it was the lot I was handed in life; I'm just making do with what I could). At the same time, though, I knew our parents sidelined Ac, so I tried my best to look out for him and make sure he was okay, because that's what brothers are supposed to do.
About three years ago, Ac disappeared overnight without a note. I tried looking for him everywhere, but my parents didn't really seem to care that Ac had gone missing, and I don't know why. I assumed he was dead and grieved for him, until he turned back up on the island over a year later. I reconciled with him and was glad that he was alive and well, and swore I wasn't going to lose him again.
A lot happened since this: I found out that my home island was built on a lie, that we were all in grave danger, and one of my best friends fled the island in response. I wasn't in an emotionally good place, but from this point onward, it might have be where I started to become TA.
Weeks after that, I received a letter from Ac that he was going on a dangerous quest that he might not come back from, along with all his savings. I panicked and tracked down his location to go after him (he left behind some notes on where he was going); I was afraid I'd lose him again and lose more people that I cared about.
I found Ac alive, thankfully, but when we sat down for a heart-to-heart, he told me about how he never felt wanted at home, which was why he left, and lost someone extremely close to him when he was away. I didn't know what to say about this: I felt like Ac could have trusted me with this earlier. I thought I tried my best to be a good brother when we were children, but clearly, that wasn't enough to keep him from leaving.
The location we were in only had a one-way entrance, but when we found the exit, it said it required a sacrifice, that only one of us could leave alive. I don't know or care who designed the place, but at that point, I didn't know what else I could do to make up for how much I failed Ac.
I volunteered to die for him to escape.
I wanted it to be me. It should have been me.
He decided otherwise.
He pushed me out of the way and fell into the death trap.
I don't know how to convey to you how badly I failed: Ac already had a rough enough childhood as he did; I couldn't be there for him when he needed it the most (both at home and after he left), and couldn't even ensure he could escape and live a somewhat happy life, even if meant me gone. I couldn't even do that much for him.
I don't know how I never noticed the extent of how badly Ac was treated at home, I don't know how everything led to this, and I don't know how I'm supposed to tell his friends that he's gone because I wasn't quick enough.
I'm back on the island where we were born and raised. I feel like TA. Am I?
TL;DR: My little brother had a rough childhood that I couldn't protect him from and ran off on a reckless, life-threatening quest, I panicked and went after him, we got stuck in a death trap, and he shouldn't have been the one to die there but I couldn't fall fast enough to make sure he's the one who survived–
This post is Part 2 of the "Chronica Siderum" series. Technically speaking, this post is slightly over the character limit for the actual AITA subreddit, but let's be honest, we don't really care here.

AITA for gaslighting an entire server for no real reason?
So it all started at the beginning, where I got a secret task to quote "dig a big hole, all the way down, at least 3x3, make it your base if you want"
So I do as I'm tasked and begin to dig, when my friend (who I will refer to as Big Dog) found me in the middle of my hole. He asked what I was doing and I panicked. I didn't want him to guess, so I flat out lied and said I was just mining. Then my other friend G came along and I told him that I was digging a tunnel to the secret keeper.
After that, it all just spiraled out of control. Any questions asked of me I would lie about. If Big Dog asked for an ally's location, I'd send him the opposite way. If someone needed materials, I'd lie that I was fresh out. I started putting signs in G's egg base that said I was watching him.
I kept digging holes, and made an underground series of tunnels with no purpose other than to confuse and unnerve those who entered.
I think I even began believing my own lies...I'm starting to suspect Bartholomew and Bob are just armor stands with pumpkin heads...
AITA for gaslighting everyone for an entire series? Or was I just playing the game?
I know this sounds bad but hear me out, I (Rat M), had helped my friend (Rat M)- We'll call him S- clear out these invasive mushrooms. Apparently three of his aunts had died because of them. After we were done, S wanted us to burn all of them, and I kept one, just in case it was useful.
So later on the basement of the house we live in opens up, and a bunch of us go down. I'm a tinkerer, so I told them what not to do to make sure nothing goes wrong with the boiler. S ends up pulling me away, and later we learn that the other rats ended up doing exactly what I told them not to, and the boiler blew up!
So the humans weren't very happy with this, but this got worse- a bug infestation started. They were terrible, and S even suggested letting the exterminators come, but I got an idea.
So I grabbed the mushroom I'd kept, and snuck to the basement, planting it in there.
the next day, I asked my gears if I should check on it, and most of them said yes, so we did.
Now, it gets a little bit hazy here, I remember going down and well.. The bugs were dead, but there was so much of the mushroom stuff. I started coughing and barely managed to get out.
S found me, apparently I'd passed out and been down there for several DAYS, and when he'd found me I was nearly dead. He scolded me a lot for not burning the last mushroom, but I stopped the exterminators coming, and I did get rid of the bugs. I get why S was scared but I don't think I'm in the wrong.
am i the asshole for my self sacrificial tendancies? i (28M) am in a series of repeating death games alongside some of my closest friends and for the past several games i have ended them by allowing my allies to kill me. this may be causing personal distress however i’ve already won once and i like my friends a lot and would like them to have ax chance however this includes dying while seeking revenge for my husband (27M) blowing myself up while my life is attached to the life of my soulmate (27F) allowing several people to run me out of hours until my closest teammate drowns me in lava and directly sacrificing myself on two separate counts to the lead singer of my band (27F) i’m very loyal; and i do all of this out of love but i’m starting to worry it may be distressing. so am i the asshole??
I know how the title sounds, but I swear it's not that bad
For a little bit of context, I (41M) am in a hunger games like death game where everyone has three lives. Both of these times happend when we were on our last lives.
The first time this happened, I had been in an alliance with my husband (42M who we'll call Impulse for the story) since day one of the game.
On the final day, I had managed to get into the final 5 people with impulse. These two guys (I'll call them G and S) came up to me with a clock and asked me to kill impulse. So I did. I shot him with my bow and arrow and got him out of the game.
The second time was in the third season of the game where everyone had a soulmate. My soulmate just so happened to be impulse. We had titled ourselves "the homewreckers" because we wanted to be the only happy couple on the server.
Yet again, on the last day, we got into a fight with this crazy, dog obsessed woman (who I'll call P). We were fighting and I ACCIDENTALLY killed her dog when fighting her. She got really mad. As I was trying to hit P with my sword, Impulse stepped in front of me and I accidentally stabbed him, taking him, (and me) out of the game.
So I (M) have been put into a death game for the fifth time in a row. In the last game, I teamed up with my family, my mother (Z (for Zombie)), and my brother (M). My father (M) decided to team with some other people. I felt like he abandoned us.
Update 1: I killed him again.
Fast forward to the next game. My mother and father teamed up, but I was all alone. The new participant for this game (F) got a task that she had to complete, saying that she was a boogeyman. This meant she had to kill others, and they had to kill others too. I ended up getting killed due to this. Due to that, I needed to kill someone. I may have still been holding a grudge from the last season, so I targeted my father. I ended up killing him with a diamond sword. No one really blamed me, but being alone made me think about it a lot.
So, AITA?
Update 2: I killed him again for the last time. He was begging to go home. Should have thought about that before ruining my own home.
Update 3: Killed my mother, too. Shouldn't have teamed with my father.
My (m26) friend, (nb22), who we'll call O for this, brought home this weird.. thing. Everyone is pretty sure it's some sort of sea urchin, but we're also all pretty sure it's not a normal sea urchin, and also maybe evil? It followed O home, though several people, me included, think they might have smuggled the creature- we'll call it C (age and gender unknown, and nobody wants to try and find out)- home. It hurts when it runs into you, and it's weird and creepy, so yeah, I kind of hate it. But O really loves it, and they seem to think everyone is really mean for not trusting C.
It came from a weird island, that ended up being really dangerous, and it really matches the island, so I think it's totally valid for me to not trust it, though after some of O's friends started getting defensive about people not trusting C, I'm starting to worry that I'm the asshole..
Now, I know how the title sounds, but hear me out. For context, we are all in a death game and everybody gets three lives. I (27M) was on my third life. I was just hanging out with my friend Martyn (33M) when we saw a skeleton horse that clearly had an invisible rider on it. We were curious as to who was riding the horse, and so I figured the best way to find out was to punch the invisible rider. So I did just that, but apparently the rider was on two and a half hearts. They died. It turned out to be Lizzie (31F). She had been on her second life, but I had just accidentally put her on her third. That isn't even the worst part. It turns out she had thrown herself a birthday party, and invited the whole server to it (including me), but only her husband had shown up. After that disaster, she was miserable, so she decided to take an invis potion and ride on a skeleton horse to not only cheer herself up, but to make others laugh, too. I ended up killing a woman who had been at her lowest. I feel awful. It truly was an accident, but what do you guys think? AITA?
AITA for leaving everyone behind on a dangerous Island ?
To make the story as short and concise as possible I, [ early20something M ] went, and set sail to an Island just off the border of the Ecclesia sea called The Faction Isles. It's whole schtick is to choose one of the 4 factions [Herons, Kestrels, Nightingales, and Kites] . Seems to be fine and dandy right? Make friends, go on adventures, sing some shanties, all that lavish stuff yada yada.
Well turns out, the Faction Isles we find out that it is essentially a food farm for a power hungry Cult Leader, and God. It's kind of the main reason on why several people went missing over the passing months..... because they got kidnapped. That being said I also got kidnapped once and saw so much people die in front of me [one of them being my best friend]. Oh forgot to mention someone released the horrors so that's that. So much happened that I cannot just summarize it down in one page but that's the gist of it.
After ... everything. I decided to just to, you know, leave, get the fuck out. Witnessing this much is really bad for the noggin, speaking from experience. So I brought my good friend, lets just call her L [f 20plussomething] and prepare to set sail. I mean it was a "wonderful" experience on the Isles I will admit , but it's high time to end this chapter of my life, besides The Isles are too much for my liking. Before I left though , I wanted to say goodbye to all my fellow pirates. The reception was ..... mixed. Some respected my decision , bid Adieu, and hope we meet again [we won't].
The others called me selfish for leaving "after all we went through you just leave blah blah blah myeh myeh" you get the idea.
It's been days since Me and L left the Isles. I think I made the right choice lest I be die a horrible death, but I still think about their words sometimes and it made me feel a tiny bit [a small regular amount] of guilt [just abit though]. But for the most part I almost regret nothing.
So AITA , for leaving everyone behind? I need to know.
Edit: So You may never guess, but I went back to the Isles. I just want to go back to see thing play out, nothing more, nothing less. I just heard that everyone, want to fight God, and I want to see that okay? Now if you guys don't get an update I'm probably most likely dead. [Oh yeah L is fine by the way she stopped by one of the towns far away from wherever I am]

AITA for pushing my boss's mentee/best friend/son figure into lava when he wouldn't give me the key to revival and immortality? tbf he hasn't given me a raise in a while and also blew up my house to convince me to work with him. the kid i killed didn't actually do anything wrong but also he's kinda immortal so he'll come back (eventually) ((i think))

AITA for accidentally causing a chain of events that led to two pairs of soulmates dying?
I, G (30) accidentally caused the deaths of my friends J (30) and E (age unknown) due to fishing them up high with a rod. In my defence this isn’t fully my fault, I think. J was the only one I had on my fishing rod, but because he can’t seem to do anything without E, he attached E to the fishing chain too. This then caused them to die due to combined fall damage. Whoops.
My other friend P (27), who had been slowly losing her mind over the past few weeks also joined the fishing chain, leading her to be near the loot that was dropped from J and E. She picked up a lovely diamond chest plate that belonged to J and wore it proudly. Then out of the trees, J and E appeared again with murderous looks in their eyes and demanded that P should give J the chest plate back, meanwhile I’m standing there, looking like an absolute lemon, apologising to J and E because I believed it was my fault.
Then P started running away from J and E with the chestplate and this inevitably led to her and S (30) ‘s death. I caused 4 people’s deaths and I don’t know how to feel, aita or was it just my friend’s absolute stupidity?
(And yes this is from grians perspective in double life, I did not do this lmao)
