Also, help each other! Those folks who need help when things go bad aren’t annoying side-quests, they’re human beings!
The point of survival is to help people!
anybody else feel like the saturation of validity and affirmations has a kind of chilling effect? like okay yeah sure, you can do whatever you want and it's all gonna be okay, but is 'I do X and I'm! valid!' an adequate substitute for 'I do X and I genuinely believe that's what I want'?
no-one is valid. be free. do crimes. pursue your quietest, most vulnerable impulse and don't ask anybody else for permission first if it ain't their fuckin' business
And then it's usually a case of "Okay, which one of you Old Gods and Monsters sent a servant to incarnate in Human Form?"
And the answer is usually Multiple Choice.
So then it's usually a case of handling a problem that Nobody knows how to deal with. And I'm an Engineer, Keri just plays a Doctor on TV and Yaori is a damn pokemon.
Granted, just the diverse perspectives help more than anything when trying to understand Magic and multiple systems...
More and more my life feels like it's existing in the Dresden Files Universe.
I sound insane talking about Magic and monsters and spirits and Fae.
Until someone DMs me, and they're Beset by a Black Dog or Obnoxious Spirit or something.
Or it's a Psychological problem, and a Supernatural solution works.
Or it's Both and they need help untangling what's just Badbrain, and what's a Fucky God or Demon.
And Sometimes I've gotta stop and say "Wait, this looks like Plurality".
@DissidentKitty I saw this today, and I think it sort of relates to that V for Vendetta quote you posted there.

There's a specific kinda person that interacts with witches regularly and can get more or less any favor from a witch that they want, but the position comes at a Cost, it's Random, and can be called up at any time.
To the Witch, this is the person who they can go to and Spill to about all the horrifying, mind bending shit they have to Un-bend in their day-to-day life as a Wrangler of the Unspoken.
The witch of course feels vaguely Guilty, but no spirits dare fuck with a witch's drinking buddy
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
