Normally, I don’t comment upon things like this, but this once, I’ve read things that I can’t ignore. So. We’ll start here:
I will not be responding to further insults and nonsense. I once respected you, Annabelle, but I’ve come to realize that engaging with your insults is no longer worth my time. Your attempts to provoke me will be ignored, as I’ve chosen to step away from this toxic back-and-forth. I do wish you well and hope that whatever anger you continue to hold onto for a person you've never really spoken to or known is one day released. To the rest who responded, please know I haven't read your words and they have no standing with me, but I wish you the same release.
Sincerely,
Liski de Vangeline
See, this feels both insulting and dismissive. Instead of actively engaging with people to try and resolve what you call a ‘toxic back and forth’, you choose to give a single note and leave it at that? I knew you very well once Liski, and this is not the woman I admired. The way you speak is so far removed from that proud woman, seeming to have become someone who would rather walk away and let others deal with the fallout than to engage. This woe-is-me narrative does
not suit you.

The attempt at the moral high ground here is laughable. You speak of insults that have been thrown and yet all I’ve seen here are underhanded attempts to insult those that called you out. Coin won’t fix this, so you give a bunch of throwaway comments that don’t actually mean anything, other than to try and cast blame on others for what you, yourself, are responsible for? It’s called accountability.
As for Vexian’s legacy: don’t worry about it, Liski-who-is-definitely-not-reading-this! He’s survived worse. He’s thriving. He’s changing and adapting and evolving and you, Liski, stagnate and rot, and by the looks of it have allowed the rot to spread out all around you.
You don’t need to worry about his legacy.
This. All this. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Only thing that I would add to this is that he is so loved, so compassionate, and doesn’t need to throw out half-assed, narcissistic apologies because he’s true to himself and those around him. As Yawa – and Vex – have said, he’ll be just fine.
I know, even if you aren't reading this, that word will reach you, so my final thought is this: there’s been a lot more said and, honestly, most of what I read from you was filler, with no real importance.
You call yourself ‘irrelevant’, take that further, Liski. Be the ‘leader’ you say you are. Do what is best for the clan, and not yourself.
