Esthfora said nobody got blown up. Also, some people bought stuff from them apparently without getting blown up.

Esthfora has presented exactly Zero Evidence for that. Matter and antimatter work like this: If QDS is made of matter, all matter creatures can safely buy from them, if QDS is made of antimatter all antimatter creatures can buy from them. But if matter and antimatter come in contact they become a huge explosion. Therefore the fact that people bought from them is no evidence that they didn't explode like that, cause everyone has a 50% chance not to explode. If you flip three coins and all three of them come up heads that's still pretty weak evidence for all coins always coming up heads. I mean, was it even three people who have bought from them?

The debate was growing off-topic, so I moved it here.

Being a pilot gets lonely sometimes.
There's almost always someone on the radio to talk with, but there's never someone to touch.

Me too. There are a bunch of people talking on the forum but there's nobody here and I can't go to the ice beasts anymore, it's no good.

I gave my mom some of my Ka and she wanted to know about it so I had to tell her about the forum, and she's here now and it's so embarrassing!

God. Okay. So it’s, like, four in the fucking morning or something, and I can’t sleep because I can’t stop thinking about all this shit that just happened to me. And I can’t talk to my therapist about it because it’s about magic stuff and I don’t think she’d believe me. And, like, I don’t know any of you people, but you are on a magical internet forum and you all seem to know what magic is, so I don’t have that problem here. I’m not asking for advice or anything, I just need to tell someone, and this is the complaining thread, so here goes.
Okay, so a while ago my friend—let’s call him “M”—started dating this girl—let’s call her “Heinous Bitch”—who turned out to be a valkyrie, aka a magical flying monster woman with magic emotion-reading powers. They were happy together somehow, which was fine, even though I didn’t really like her. Then one day M got kidnapped because of some stuff Heinous Bitch did, and Heinous Bitch rescued him but died while doing it. Except she didn’t actually die. Her soul (oh, yeah, people on my world have souls, they hang around after you die) latched onto me and she somehow downloaded her consciousness into my body.
So I spent the next few months fighting Heinous Bitch for control of my own goddamn body. At first I didn’t understand what was going on and why I kept blacking out and waking up in a totally different place and I had no idea what time it was or what was going on or anything. Then she started taking control while I was still conscious and moving me around and stuff, and I still didn’t really know what was going on but I was panicking, because this was some horror movie shit, right, I was possessed and something was taking me over and I couldn’t stop it. I wanted to tell someone that something was happening but every time I tried she took over and stopped me. Also apparently valkyrie souls are poisonous somehow? Someone told me that afterwards but I didn’t know then, I just knew that my head and my chest hurt like hell all the time.
So some stuff happened (stuff I’m not going to go into because I can talk to my actual therapist about that) and I ended up in the hospital, and one day I’m lying there and my body hurts all over, especially on my upper back. M came to visit me, and I started to tell him what was going on, but then Heinous Bitch took over and threw us at M and started full-on making out with him while he just stood there with a stupid look on his face. And I’m just thinking, Oh my god, this is my first kiss, I feel like I just got dipped in acid and someone else is controlling my body and I’m having my first kiss right now, and then I managed to take over from her for the first time and I threw up all over the floor, then she took control again and she was all “What? Where am I?” and I’m stuck in my head screaming, Bullshit! You know exactly what you’re doing! And then Heinous Bitch’s siblings showed up and grabbed me and flew me out of the hospital, which was a good thing because that’s when I started to sprout wings. And that fucking hurt. I honestly don’t know what else to say. It was just…bad.
Heinous Bitch took over for a while and we flew someplace and we had to fight some people, I don’t really remember this part too well because it hurt so much and I was busy screaming at her to get the fuck out of my head right now only I couldn’t really scream because she was in control so I was stuck just thinking really loudly at her. Eventually, they got her out of me and back into her real body and the wings shriveled up or something. I didn’t even get to fly on my own with them, which sucks, because, like, I feel like after all of that I should’ve gotten to fly with them myself, you know? They brought me back to the hospital and Heinous Bitch’s siblings lied through their teeth and covered everything up. I still had these huge fucking gash marks from the wings, but Heinous Bitch’s siblings pulled some explanation for that out of their asses. So they get to keep their secret and everything’s all nice and tidied up and everyone except me and M and Heinous Bitch’s family and one other guy thinks everything’s fine.
God, it feels good to finally tell someone about that.

... Wow, that's definitely a thing.
M is aware that his girlfriend used your body to kiss him? Is he just. Okay with that? Because I would not be okay with a person that took control of someone else to kiss me.
Has HB accounted for her actions at all? And if she could be gotten out, why didn't she try to do that as soon as possible instead of, uh, trying to take over like a terrible body-stealing parasite?

That really sucks. I mean there's magic differentials in Toppled, but it's either a strict meritocracy(Angels or Magic systems that require lots of studying) or between Galaxies. Thank God(Wait, that's a stupid expression in this Forum... Thank Mother Starlight) you've got the Forum now. The Forum's a pretty powerful tool to help you out.
So... there's a full blown "The Masquerade" in your dimension? You should make a thread where you explain everything you know about your world's magic and where people can offer help.

Inkspot Heinous Bitch has claimed that she didn't actually know she was possessing my body, and that at first she thought she was in the afterlife, and then she thought she wasn't attached to a body at all, and then she thought she was back in her old body but hallucinating a lot. I don't believe her. I think she was using me as a human shield. All the other valkyries want to kill her for good, which in my world means "send her soul to an afterlife", and she was pretty sure they would not send her to one of the nice afterlives. If she was attached to a body, they wouldn't be able to find her as easily. M believes her "oh gee I just didn't realize I was ruining Bree's life" story, but he's mad at her anyway because unlike Heinous Bitch, he gives half a shit about people who are not Heinous Bitch. So their relationship status is kind of up in the air right now, partly because of that and partly because of other stuff. gabriael thanks for offering, but I don't think I'll need to call down the Power Of The Forum on her. She's managed to piss off a lot of powerful people. I can definitely make a thread explaining my world's magic, but I'm not, like, super involved in all of that other than the thing I told you about, so I'm not really an expert? I'll try though. Thanks to both of you for listening to me vent. I appreciate it.

I didn't mean help you personally out... I meant helping all the other people to whom something like that could happen.

Well, it's cool that you're available to help people, anyway. Good for you guys.
I don't think I'm going to be able to help you much with whatever you're doing, because I don't have, like, superpowers (unless someone's figured out a way to weaponize extreme procrastination or Doctor Who references or something) but it'll be cool to hang out here and watch you all do your thing.

Extreme procrastination is basically how you defeat an Aeli. Put whatever he disapproves of off for later, he will get bored and leave.

That is awesome. What are Aelis? Can I fight them?
EDIT: Is there a thread about this? I haven't read all the threads because there's a lot of stuff.
