I don't really think it would defeat the purpose... I mean I have some happy conclusions in my long history as well, I just didn't want to bore anyone with the details of my current relationship and friendships that have endured the drama because even I would grow bored of hearing about how I sit around and play video games/watch movies with friends when I'm not cuddling with the woman I love.
Anyway, we all know why I'm here again... surprisingly it's not all really bad news I don't think. I say it's not all bad news because I finally can see who's decided to learn the truth and who's chosen to perpetuate rumors about things I've never even known people thought about me until now... Pythagoras and Hungary have mounted an army against me, turning some of their former friends' siblings against each other even. I never thought it possible but apparently family ties can be shattered if it means silencing the truth. Not that it matters much, but I'll be listing the factions as it stands right now and the reasons (if any) that were given to me why people stand where they are now. (fake names clearly... unless stated)
Those who stand against me and prefer the rumors:
Pythagoras
Hungary
Briney (originally on my side, succumbed to the rumors that Pythagoras had regarding his own paranoia of me)
Khallen (Full on grilled me about the rumors, didn't like the truth... preferred the convenience of the lies)
Kai-nah (Olympia's sister... choosing to side with Hungary because of convenience in making costumes)
Ja-na (Olympia's other sister, choosing to side with Hungary because I spoke out against homestuck fans abusing people)
Those who seek the truth:
Tower (through with the lies, sees the horrible treatment that I'm being put through... wants to stand up for justice)
Gauss (Saw the torment firsthand... couldn't stand for the lies perpetuated anymore)
Kurusaki (At first he was totally siding with Hungary and Pythagoras... then he paid me a visit and asked for my side, he learned that they lied to him the whole time)
Olympia (Strange as this sounds, she defected to my side under the guise "Shallow Esophagus" and confessed this identity after being discovered by Briney and sold out by Khallen, Kai-Nah, and Ja-na)
Miles (for the time being, he sides with his girlfriend Olympia... possible defection imminent)
Sparrow (My brother, sides with me because Pythagoras and Hungary turned on him believing he would side with me anyway... ironically if they had treated him better then he would be opposing me)
Rice and Beaner (his chosen nickname, not sure why... for the time being though he seems to want to reason with me as Pythagoras stiffed him on a deal that could have saved his cats from being euthanized)
Kyra (who would be surprised if this wasn't true?)
Mermaid (I don't really know why she's involved... she just saw me sad on facebook, she never asked for either side but she's known me since childhood so I guess it counts for something?)
Naomi (well, she's my good friend... another former crush but she actually hooked me up with a really nice gal and only wanted me to be happy even though she can't return my feelings. Siding with me because she hates how Hungary treated me and she hates that Pythagoras is spreading these rumors)
So according to those who side against me, I'm a heartless sociopath who doesn't care about anything other than spreading propaganda and furthering an agenda that makes no sense... those who side with me at least see some rationality and can see where I wanted to be reasonable in salvaging friendships. Nevermind that I want nothing to do with Pythagoras and Hungary anymore... But apparently forcing an agenda on me automatically means that I have a vendetta to settle, they drew the battle lines and all I have done was communicate with my friends.
