Ya' know what? Here I was thinkin' that the blue hair's story ended here in bitterness, only to find she came back some time later having bettered herself. I don't think we see that enough. Good on her.

[@Sweetrad]

Im glad they all had closure in the end Usually problem players forever lack self awareness

[@Lillyluri]

For a terrible story this was actually very wholesome.

[@FreedomAndPeaceOnly]

Didn't expected that mature twist at the end either. Ok, this one redeemed herself. 👏😎

[@Theokal3]

You know for how bad this story was, I am glad it ended with the problem player apologizing and admitting her mistakes, and them reconciling. That's nice^^

[@curtisholsinger6023]

Was considering skipping this one, then saw the top comment about how it got better. Gonna watch now. Thanks :)

[@perjohanaxell9862]

I like this story for showing that sometimes a bully is just another insecure human being. Fantastic that she got the chance to apologize and that the other girl was good enough to forgive her. Heartwarming story.

I wished more problems had these kinds of endings, where the "bad" person grew up past this behavior and everyone is better friends in the end.

I mean we rarely get to find out what happened to the person afterwards. Its possible many of them did get better, but we won't hear about that because the OP had already justifiably cut them off and just because you do improve doesn't mean people have to let you back in.

[@skullton3292]

1:29 I actually made a character similar for a story once. The difference is that she actually has a good relationship with her parents. Her father, while strongly disagreeing with her life choices, respects them and they still deeply love each other. She does resent her father for disagreeing with her lifestyle but it's mostly portrayed as her being a bit of a spoiler brat, later realising this due to the other members of her party coming from poorer families and another member from a rich family who does not have as understanding parents but is far less vocal about it, only ever mentioning it when asked.

[@EleonMythos]

It's endings like these that allows me to keep some faith in humanity.

[@100dfrost]

Great story. I have, and probably most people have made mistakes in dealing with people, maybe been a bully, and for whatever reason presented ourselves as a total jackass. When someone grows to adulthood enough to realize that mistake, and face honestly our own bad conduct, and more than that, shows the courage to attempt an amends it becomes a story that anyone can appreciate. Excellent video, thank-you.

I had expected a Karen in the making but less then halfway through the story I had hope, no Karen in the making would give away thier epic cape, even temporarily, so someone else can have an epic moment. Ever since that part I knew aria was good, happy they all grew up and got back togeather

[@TexMeta]

My biggest cringe was my behavior while obsessing over a girl for 9 years who I believed I was in love with. I didn’t actually have any communication with her the majority of the time. But I basically took shit way too seriously, tried being someone I’m not, and white knighted (I’m not like those other guys) to her. I would apologize to her. I hate that period of myself.

Who voiced the World Anvil ads? Did the company not trust that the reader we're all used to could/would properly voice the ads, so they got someone else to do it instead? Did the usual guy not do it because he didn't want to for some reason?

Could be they just handed out premade trailers as a trial as this isn't the first I seen world anvil ads have that voice.

I think this guy is wrong on Aria, she sound like a pass me, she have blue hair, piercing all over her face and said she hate dresses and never want kids, no man want that, she literally the woke liberal type, she a hard pass me

[@xsoultillerx]

the tragic part is most of these types of people don't grow out of it. aria reminded me of a former friend of my brother's who was a real PoS (and is almost 40 at the time of posting this). last i heard about her was that her husband (whom she had bragged about going on compensated dates in front of) filed for divorce and kicked her out of their house.

She could fight them, but when I joined and went up against her, I wasn't going to let her 6 years of training stop me from trying to win.

Dude this happened not that long ago at my own table (discord) one of my friends wanted to run a game with a buddy of ours and myself. My buddy and I talked him into inviting another 2 people we knew. 1 was from the game I run and another was a childhood friendish of the dm. They make their characters and already the girl (childhood friend) missed a couple sessions due to work. Once she actually joined us she began to take the jokes at my buddy's character a bit too far. And during the first real quest we had it was ending in a fight against shadows. Yes they are scary and can tpk but the dm homebrewed them to be a lot less deadly. However due to the first round favoring the rolls to the shadows the childhood friend began to scream the dm was out to tpk us... in the first session, quest and round of combat... due to outburst we called the session there at the start of the second round. And after that the session died soon after due to her freaking out on my buddy for a joke about liking the pervert purple ball hair duded from my hero, yet she is always making sexual jokes...

Simple. Even if it's my wife I'll just not let her play till she learns (although she won't be my wife with an attitude like that so this point is mute🤷‍♂️).

I never understood this mentality. There are so many, SO SO MANY, mysogynistic pos men out there. Why did this woman feel the urge to attack Sansa so viciously?? Why are some women so hell bent on holding down other women?

It unfortunately happens with many minority groups. In this case I'd just say it was insecurity, she had kind of gotten used to her niche as the only woman in the group.

Yo. I like World Anvil, I do. But what I DON'T like is tricking us into having to hear a sponsor ad AFTER WE ALREADY HEARD ONE. You just left us not with a nice feeling after listening to a nifty story, but aggravation that we had to sit through _another_ ad. "And now what you came for"? We didn't come for an additional ad at the end because you think you can get away with sucking up to your sponsor by bookending the content without warning! Either put it in the front, in the middle, or in the end, put it anywhere, but KEEP IT IN ONE PIECE. Seriously, as someone who loathes ads, even for good stuff, this pissed me off and ruined a lot of this story. Please don't pull this again.

[@chillandgrilltillenddays69]

Honestly, it sounds like college ruined Aria. A lot of women are socially guilted into thinking that if they act or dress like a woman then they are somehow submissive to men when, in reality, there's nothing wrong with just being feminine. Be who you want to be, just don't be a problem.

[@shadenox8164]

That's a load of bullshit dude, have you ever actually like talked to a woman? Yet alone one who doesn't feel the need to dress feminine? Also you're kind of demonstrating part of the problem by suggesting Aria as a woman isn't acting like one because she's not like Sansa. If you did you'd probably find they support women doing what women want to do and has nothing to do with men at all.
