What does Aelin The Moon mean?
What do you like most about Karma?
What will you do when you become Enlightened?

I'm the Moon, and my name is Aelin.

Easily the community. Karma has such a beautiful and diverse community that I became immediately attached.


Mandatory distribution of friendship at all costs.

Hey Aelin! Good luck on your path to enlightenment!

Here's my questions:
1. Do you have an interest or a hobby that you're not at all good at, but you keep going anyways because you're having fun?
2. Is there a fictional villain you really like? If so, why?
3. What's your favorite part about Karma?
4. Would you pet a wild animal?

Hey Aelin! Good luck on your path to enlightenment!

Here's my questions:
1. Do you have an interest or a hobby that you're not at all good at, but you keep going anyways because you're having fun?
2. Is there a fictional villain you really like? If so, why?
3. What's your favorite part about Karma?
4. Would you pet a wild animal?

1. Not really. I don't really try out new things too often, so what I have I've gotten good at.

2. Yes and no. Not from an official work, but from a crowdsourced lore expansion for a parody of an established series. The character, simply known as Cal, has a pretty messed up past and rampant Dissociative Identity Disorder. And being that I want to study Psychology, that really appealed to me.

3. I've already answered that. The community :P

4. Absolutely not. I have allergies u.u

Congratulations Aelin for beginning on your path of enlightenment.
I will ask the questions that matter the most,
1. What is your opinion on Crime Bros and their crime?
2. How would you motivate more nations to join WA?
Best of luck for your enlightenment journey and have a nice day!

Thanks for your good wishes ^-^

Depends on the crime u.u through friendship, I expect their crimes to be unpaid community service >.> but currently, they need some friendship to become acceptable.

My friendship pills also contain a compound that makes people want to join the WA. Other than that, I plan to take a passive approach.

Describe for me what vanilla tastes like.
Give me something to be inspired by.
Tell me what brings hope to your life.
Convince me to read your favorite book.

Tastes like... vanilla, I guess? I don't really have anything to compare it to x.x it's just...vanilla.

As soon as I find something inspiring, I'll be sure to share it with you.

As much as I dislike suddenly shifting my tone from the rest of my responses and as much as I loathe being *that* person, I legitimately don't have an answer. Hope is a rare commodity for me.

I'm supposed to have a favorite? I've read so many that I can't pick any one to convince you to read ;-;

Kaz, I'd like for you to take some time and think about these questions. Vanilla is not just vanilla. It can be a science. It can be the flavor of your favorite ice cream. It can be the candle that brings you most comfort. It can be the simple base that you build on for deeper and more involved flavors. It's smooth and simple, but it can be floral, it can be the part of baking a cake that your grandma always let you pour into the batter. I know that you love to write, what inspires you to draw those words out of your head and lay them out on paper? It's something to accept that there is no hope in our lives, but it's something greater to find the pinpoint of light poking into our lives, recognize it, and allow ourselves to hold onto that and trust in it.

Enlightenment is a wonderful opportunity to be more honest than you thought you'd have an opportunity to be. Think about it. You can do it.

I don't know what to tell you, Alti. I'd certainly love to be that positive, but I just... can't. You read my poem. You know what it's like for me to be in a low. A new one started today, breaking a 3 week high. I don't really feel that much of anything good now. And as for what inspires me to write... nothing. I haven't written in months. When I started, it was as an escape. I was so lonely during COVID quarantine that I tried to use fabricated worlds to get away. Not only did it not work, it left me in shambles. Since quarantine ended, however, I have had absolutely no motivation to write. So in terms of inspiration to write... nada. And for the other two questions... I'd like to bring up two of the lines of that poem.
"People want explanations and they dare ask "why",
But my brain stops working when it's out of logic to defy"

And vanilla... to me, it reminds me of comfort. I used to eat vanilla ice cream when times got rough, and the flavor has become permanently embedded in my mind as being associated with comfort.

Though in the end, I know deep down that it'll get easier eventually. So I guess I do have an answer to your hope question. I have hope that despite all the pain, it'll get better soon. Sometimes you just have to take what you can get.

And in hindsight, I guess I did end up telling you what motivated me to write. Funny how that works x.x
