Blue by Gills

I have something to say about FEBI here.

I feel like there is some negative pressure aimed toward me, regarding friends and FEBI as a group.

For FEBI, I wanted to help be a leading part of the group, and keep it as fun as well as structured as possible. I have been getting negative comments and reactions, even trouble, for my influence on the group. Yes, I'm the guy who writes the rules, but the rules were created with the whole of Forever Team, with all 4 main leaders agreeing, and for the fairness of everyone. Some have expressed it being strict or etc., but if I order, it would not be the authentic FE group as it is today.

Now, regarding friends, I'm sorry, but I feel like some of you have taken a negative look on me for my absence as a friend, or not talking to you for awhile, or whatever, but I can't be at everyone's attention at once. If anyone expects that of me, I'm sorry, but I can't. I have a life, I have my own feelings, moods, and thoughts. I cannot help everyone, or be the perfect friend for everyone. Sometimes things or people change and it cannot be helped. If I don't particularly talk to you a lot, or much at all, it doesn't mean I hate or dislike you, I just may not be able to relate or otherwise have the same interests as you now. I hope this makes sense but I've just feel like some of my friends have been giving me grief now and since before and I need to voice myself.

aside from this, I'm quite proud of the facial anatomy I drew here.

Hey Gills, listen, I'm sorry that I got so upset over Mikai.
I was having a rough day at the time and so I kinda started acting like a big meanie.
It's no excuse tho.
And I understand you concerns about mikai. I'll change him to look human and less like roided out yoda don't worry.
Hope you can forgive me for disrespecting you.

Hey, you don't need to worry. I don't know about what's been happening or what people have been saying, but I see you as a good leader and a great friend. I'm likely biased, but the rules have worked so far, 'strict' or not. I just hope you continue to help lead this group with as much joy as you have for the past year. You have a team behind you, so I'm sorry so much of the pressure is pointed at you.

About the friends things, hey, life happens. I can't count the times where I wasn't physically there to help someone. Or worse, I was, and didn't know what to say. You're doing fine, Gills. Believe me.

I'm sorry you have to go through all this. I really appreciate the thought and effort you put into this RP and keeping it authentic to Fire Emblem. It makes things really interesting. : )

And yeah, we can't all be expected to be around 24/7 on here. Life happens, and I think people should be able to respect that. I'm hoping they'll understand and ease up on you a bit.

BTW The facial anatomy is really well done. : )

And also, I see you as a really good friend. I hope we'll always be able to talk about similar interests, but even if we don't, it won't change my opinion of you in any way. : )

Honestly, I think your leadership skills are superb - something I envy. It's really a shame that some people are targetting you as the "sole leader" just to negatively express their desires and wants. I hope things turn for the better in the future and respect the rules and foundations laid out by the Forever Team.
You are a wonderful friend and I couldn't have asked for a better person to mentor me, personally talk to me, and teach me all about FE (despite my frustration in the beginning). Thank you Gills for all that you've done for me.

(ps this indigo design is looking fly)

Thank you, AwesomeBoy. It's just you weren't the first person to make some trouble out of the CoC or whatever. I'm grateful you understand, and I hope you see that if you read back, I was in fact looking out for everyone, including you. Thank you again for understanding and helping by following the rules. I hope Mikai will be a valuable character in the story!

Inky, Coco, Time, and Jak, thank you. I wasn't intending this to be a "pity post" (for lack of a better term, sorry), I just wanted to make some understanding of my feelings here. Thank you for the support though, and the wonderful comments, I really appreciate them. I hope to still be a valuable member here for not only FEBI, but also Colors.

On the note of my anatomy, I haven't really drawn "realistic" human style lately, and I drew this all one-shot without any refs, so I'm kinda extra proud of it, even though I left some detail out that I could've added if I took more time, but this was drawn with my emotion today, so.

Re: Thank you so much! That means a bunch!

I totally feel you right here (the friends part), it's pretty much how I've been feeling these past weeks with my friends, but just remember that sometimes just even being somebody's friend can mean the world to them. I hope it starts going better for you.

(Btw, you've got great leaderships skills, I can just tell [because I'm a unicorn]. Being a leader isn't always easy, but sometimes you have to make choices that others don't like, just remember that you're doing the right thing no matter what they say!)

I'm sorry if I fall into one of those categories. And I don't have any negative thoughts about you! I'm actually happy that you've been able to help keep FEBI together, it is not an easy job to manage a lot of people, yet you seem to find a way, and it is actually motivating and I'm proud to see the keader you've become. And I understand that life comes first, because, well, it's your life! xD But again, sorry If I contributed to this, and I hope things turn around for the better!

And if it weren't for rules, crime would be running rampant. Sometimes rules can be annoying, or, strict, but without them, it'd be utter chaos. That's why I like Miiverse so much, because if it weren't for the rulse, it'd be nutso chaos. But rules are the structure, and what keeps a thing strong. Anyways, you're a great leader Gills, and the Forever Team as a whole! Btw, you did really good on this drawing, especially without any refs or bases!

Hey man. I know I haven't talked in quite a while (really sorry about that. July was... crazy for me. I'll probably make an update later in regards to it), but I wanted to let you know I'm here for ya, and I'll try my best to be on here more often, especially in light of Miiverse (sorry to hear that btw. Really sucks getting banned for a misunderstanding or miscontrued drawing/post). And I'm sorry to hear people are giving you a hard time. Can't really give advice that hasn't already been said in terms of FEBI, but as for absence, I completely understand. Life just happens, for better or worse. You figure people would get that by now.

Anyway, hope you guys are doing well. And even though I haven't talked much, I just want you to know I still consider you guys some of the best friends I've ever had. XD

Btw, nice job with the facial details. I'm impressed! : )

*sigh* Second time having to write that, not as good as the first. Don't like how my Net just hates me... -_-"

There's always going to be those people that'll complain about rules, calling them "too strict" and getting mad at the authorities that enforce them, yet what they often don't realize is exactly what they'd truly get if the rules didn't exist. I like Witzke's Miiverse example, as he has told me about some of the crazy things that people are complaining that they can't do because of rules, some of which would most definitely lead to "nutzo chaos" as he put it.

But rules like these prevent such chaos from happening, and you're right, F.E.B.I. would certainly not be the same as it is today without them, so thank you for making sure the rules are followed!

On the friend communication note, I totally understand. I know you've got a life to live and family to spend time with, and I'm sorry if I've been one of those pushy people lately (because I know that I have a tendency to do so, particularly with the Rps). I don't want to take you away from your real life just to have you help build a fantasy one here, so I will make sure to be less pushy about things here! It's okay to take your time, especially when your life and family are in the equation.

Re:Thanks!
I completely forgot about it until Witzke pointed it out XD.
I might have to change it,or I can make two maps.One with the original borders(like before our characters) and the map I'm drawing now would be its modern borders.
I have a feeling it should be in Palmalia or Artus.I don't want Xalys to be more important than the other countries,and those two countries need a bit of recognition.

I hope you're ok.You don't need to stress out about anything.Youre doing what needs to be done,and it's something you've been brave enough to do.No one has your courage.Just ask for help next time.Its wrong to take the burden by yourself.Eventually you'll get sick of FEBI because of it and I don't want that to happen.Ill talk more about this with you after my phone is repaired.Im using my brother's rn

Witz, Ari, Jon, Hachi, Ace, thank you. I am greatful to be a part of a great team, and group. I know the rules help greatly, I've just felt pressure that is unneeded and it's just been getting to me. But all of you guys and my friends help me stay up, thank you.
