No... I either did not forge such a covenant, or I have but the other has reneged on it with such frivolity that my honor would be besmirched in keeping it rather than abandoning it outright

Much of what you believe to be immutable or a facet of life, is actually only so because it is given permission.

Many things are not naturally so, they only appear to be when many affirm. If you stop and wonder,

You realize it is false

See this one gets it, key thing: The trolls DO NOT see it

A hypothesis having proven results is not an exception.

That's like saying humans can't fly and that pilots are an exception, its asinine

Yeah, a few trolls blocked me, yes it does work.

"You" are not the standard, you're the exception

That would work if alt accounts didn't exist

At some point the solution is to either stand and dish it back or just ignore on your own or without using any site features that they can see.

Yeah but you block em and they get what they're looking for, a reaction. Either way you lose in some form and they still achieve.

Been saying it for years but everybody believes the block works, it doesn't, it makes it worse.

That's being dismissive. Many that get written off with slander are not informed and would benefit from an open, mature discussion, maybe changing

Alas, everybody runs away from talking. You'll sit and demand change but not even take the basic step to make it happen.

That's being a piece of shit

A question occurs: What is the world?

7/7

Almost NOTHING like I asked. A human would have gotten it spot on, maybe a couple tweaks here and there but small ones.

Also before you assume anything: I draw everything from reference just like the others do, all my stuffs original, complete with the wrist cramps and lack of sleep

The rest of the corridor remains in near-total darkness, with no competing light sources. The faint neon signs in the far distance do not illuminate the scene, ensuring the viewer’s focus remains on the characters and the blade.

AND attached these references

So what came back? THIS -->

6/?
Lighting and Mood:
The Kwan Dao’s green glow is the brightest and only significant light source, symbolizing the Wanderer’s dominance. Its eerie light casts long, dramatic shadows across the ground and onto the walls, emphasizing the oppressive atmosphere.

directly to the weapon and the tension it creates. The light appears to almost "trap" Crow in its glow, reinforcing the Wanderer’s control over the immediate space.

5/?
Dynamic Interaction:
The third-person perspective from behind Crow centers her fear and vulnerability while also framing the Wanderer as the dominating force of the scene.
The Kwan Dao’s glow creates a stark visual link between the Wanderer and Crow, drawing the viewer’s eye

Expression: His face is visible from Crow’s perspective, stern and hunter-like, showing the restraint of someone who has finally cornered his prey. The green glow from the blade reflects off his features, casting sharp, menacing shadows.

Appearance: His sleek black prosthetic arm with the glowing orb is partially visible, though the focus remains on the glowing Kwan Dao. The weapon is raised slightly, aimed downward at Crow in a poised, calculated motion.

4/?
The Wanderer:
Position: Standing a few feet in front of Crow, his towering frame fills the midground, looming over her. His long black cloak with glowing green runes sways subtly, amplifying his commanding presence.

Expression: From this perspective, the viewer sees her slightly turned head, panicked eyes, and the tension in her body as she retreats.

Appearance: Her red-highlighted hair and black poofy vest jacket are still visible, with subtle reflections from the glowing blade accentuating her features. Her shirt underneath her jacket is visible, adding modesty compared to her default design.

3/?
Crow:
Position: The scene is now from a third-person perspective behind Crow, emphasizing her vulnerability and placing the viewer in her shoes. Her figure is centered in the foreground, on the ground, crawling backward, using her hands and feet to push away from the looming threat.

The green glow from the blade casts a stark, otherworldly light, creating hard shadows and making the scene feel like it exists entirely under the Wanderer’s influence. The light reflects off the surfaces of the debris, puddles, and parts of Crow’s jacket, heightening the tension/focus on the blade.

2/?
Setting:
The back-alley corridor remains dark and gritty, but now the neon lights in the distance are faint and muted, offering no meaningful illumination to the scene. The space is shrouded in shadow, emphasizing the Wanderer’s Kwan Dao as the dominant light source.

Draw your line in the sand, if you don't, others will draw it for you.

Creating a safe space isn’t enough—you must protect it. Running only keeps fear alive. When you face fear, it’s often smaller than it seemed. So, stand and fight—what do you have to lose?

You're only a loser if you refuse to try again

You can lose millions of times, but defeat truly comes when your spirit is broken and you say you're done. Only you get to say you're done, nobody else has the right, oh they don't have the right.
