This is for all shinki:

What do ye do about a stubborn, sometimes reckless, selfless god? I wanna help them, but every time I try, I'm not sure they appreciate it.

I feel like I'm angering them an' I don't want to.

[This is his way of asking for help. He really did try to mask his sometimes outdated and awkward spelling/phrasing, though it seems to shine through nonetheless. Please don't kill him, Shun!]

You should talk to him.
Tell him how you feel.
He probably wants to protect you the same way you want to protect him.

Some people are just like that, you know? They get angry easy and they go all out when maybe they shouldn't. All you can do is be there to do whatever you can when things get bad. They may not say it ever, but they appreciate it deep down! No reason not to believe that!

[shortnsweet]

some people are just stubborn like that
but don't give up on them!
if you keep at it eventually you can get them to open up!

[shockshot]

Maybe it depends on how you're helping them? And what they're doing too.

And what you're doing.

Because from what I understand, god or shinki, we can't do this alone.

[solar_avatar]

If you're doing your best to help them as honestly as possible, I don't see how they could be angered by it.

I'm sure they would understand if that's the case!

Anon-san! Hi hi!

You have a good heart! But your god does too. I think they want to protect you. A lot of gods really care for their shinki. You should talk with your god! I donno how much it will change because it depends of the core of the god you're talking about. Stubbornneess is hard! You really got punch through it but that can also hurt their pride.

You're a team! Remind your god of that! You need to help eachother, protect eachother! It can't be one sided!

What help you have given, I'm sure they see it. If not, they're blind and just need something to open their eyes. Express your feelings the best you can! Write a letter if you gotta! Maybe they just dont know how to be open. There a lot of people here that come of super ice cold that you get frost bite....

but deep deep down, they're super warm!

Will that do any good? What if it jus annoys him more?

Ye think? I dunno if I'm that important to him.

I don't need ta be appreciated. I only want what's best for him. I wanna be a good shinki and he's been nothin' but kind to me. I think we're a good team.

[Anonymous]

I'm not plannin' on giving up! He deserves better than that.

I only wanna know if I'm goin' about it the right way.

No, we're a good team! We've been in battles before an' I trust him with my life. It's outside of the battles that concerns me. He's a grumpy fellow and I know he's been through a lot. I wish I could cheer him up.

[Anonymous]

He's been through the wringer without bein' a god. I don't wanna add to it. He's the closest thing I have ta family here.

[Yes Joker decided that without Shun's permission, shhh.]

Re: [Anonymous]

i'd say go right to him and tell him what's up
he can't get mad at you for being honest
and then you won't have to worry anymore cause you'll know what he's thinking!

Hello! :)

The last thing I wanna do is hurt his pride. He has a lot to be proud of from where I sit! I jus wanna take some of the burdens off of his shoulders an' give him a reason ta smile if I can.

We're one of the best teams! I trust him with me life! It's outside of the battles that concerns me. He don't think of himself nearly enough an' he pretends like he's fine when he obviously isn't.

That's not a bad idea! Thank ye, friend. I'll put your suggestions ta work and see what comes of it.

[Anonymous]

[jocularly]

That's the brave option, definitely. I'm gonna have ta find my courage! Wish me luck. :)

[shortnsweet]

i know you can do it anon-chan!

Yer a sweetheart!

Re: [Anonymous]

[lilys_poise]

Of course it will!
He can't understand you if you don't tell him what you're feeling.
And if you care this much about him then he must be a really wonderful god.
And someone like that would definitely care about their shinki.


Do you mind if I ask what kind of stuff he gets mad about?

[darkduelist]

You shouldn't give up. Talk to them, argue with them if necessary and make sure to let them know you want to help. If they get angry, ask them what angered them.

[ivegotasword]

so ive only known my god for about a day but i feel like i know someone like that [he's like that, his god is like that, basically everyone he knew when he was alive was like that] so i feel like i got some experience with this sort of thing

sometimes a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do

just let them do their thing and if it works out great youve shown trust in them and theyre abilities and theyll appriciate that and if not then you get to run in there save there ass all heroic like while shouting i told you so and maybe eventully theyll learn to trust your insticts

[shortnsweet]

hey don't worry about it
just trying to help a new friend out, ya know?

[ittenbari]

Then what's the problem?

[Anonymous]

[solar_avatar]

If he's pretty much family, then I think he'd understand. You're connected to each other, after all.

[shockshot]

Well, some people are grumpy on the outside but are squishy on the inside. If that makes any sense.

Do you know what he likes? Hobbies, foods, anything?

[fizzipocus]

maybe they're just the grumpy type! or maybe they have a bad habit of putting on a mad face when they're not really mad! you should ask and make sure it's not a misunderstanding first.

[noli_oblivisci]

It depends on how eager they are to listen to you. If they aren't willing to listen, sometimes all you can do is let them make a mistake so they'll learn while being there to help get them through it.

If you feel like they're making a very dangerous choice, though, and can't be persuaded otherwise, worrying about angering them should be the last thing on your mind compared to helping them.
