This was such a good story! I really loved how you made Masky persuade Misty to try and kill herself, and all the interactions Misty had with Opaline.
Heavy.
Kudos.
Who doesn’t love seeing their favorite characters tortured by themselves?
Joking aside, another fantastic story that really dives into Misty’s psyche and what life was like as an abuse victim

Those sections definitely weren’t easy to write, so I’m so happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks!

Thank you.
Just finished reading the whole thing... I have to say, if not for you and the way you write down these characters, I'll still have a very misunderstood concept of Misty's character (unlike some people in this page).
Masky telling Misty to just "put a gun to her head and pull the trigger" (I know it wasn't said like this, is metaphorical) was shocking but expected. Good job!
Given how much Opaline abused Misty it's not surprising she became suïcidal.
It's good that Missty can rely on her friends and in the episode itself Misty is more scared that surprised to her shadowy counterpart.
A heavy story but a good one nonetheless, I thought it was well done and really expanded on that episode and Misty's character. Despite it being a fairly underwhelming episode for me at first after seeing it, this story helped me appreciate it more. :D

You are welcome.
I probably worked for too long at a job that I wasn’t fit for (a third-party phone-based customer service center when I’m a social introvert), and after a while I had what I thought I’ve as the Old Grey Man sitting on my shoulder telling me those same things. I never reached the point of suicide, but I did have a full-on emotional breakdown near the end of my shift one day. Fortunately I no longer work there (the facility was closed down due to extreme employee turnover rates, among other issues) and I regularly take anti-anxiety medications. I just hope I never have to encounter that Old Grey Man in my head again.

I’m really sorry you had to go through that, and I wish you a happy and full recovery. It really sucks hearing these thoughts played back to you. But the important thing that I learned is to never let yourself succumb to those feelings. If you’re feeling a certain way, always talk to someone about it or get professional help. Never try to ignore it and pretend like it doesn’t exist because then that just makes the problem worse overall. The best thing you can do is surround yourself with people who believe in and care about you, those who will support you and never tear you down. Work in the professions you love and have a passion for if you’re able. Once it starts becoming an obligation or you stop enjoying it, start searching for other job avenues you might enjoy more. It is what makes you happy that matters most in the end.

Thanks, that really means a lot. I wouldn’t put too much stock into what that user says if I’m being honest. While he does hate Misty (for some inexplicable reason), it’s difficult for me to tell what he’s being serious about, and what is meant to be his witty satire humor. I often have trouble enforcing the group rules on him for that reason. But don’t worry about it. If his behavior ever gets out of control, you just let me know and I’ll take action on it.

That’s great to hear! My sole intention is to help people appreciate the Tell Your Tale episodes more, so if the story did that for you, that means I succeeded.

Thank you.

No problem.
I'm not surprised, given the coaster seems to lack basic features like over-the-shoulder harnesses (a must on rides with inversions) and can detach from the track without any apparent warning. Did Action Park build this thing?
Who gets a review? Not sure, but I heard one's close by.

That sounds so morbid out of context, and in context.
Hard to say if I love it, because… you know, but I do commend the guts it had to take to get through it.
I respect it 🫡
