Yeah, sorry about that. Would have made it private if I wasn't on ignore anyway!
Basically, darkside had trouble getting through a show, comes to me asking him to give him a forced av as motivation, I make sure this is what he wants, then I do so. He acts offended in public, but has a lot of fun when avatars died on GAF for a time and his was the only one still up. I keep telling him that he can ditch the av whenever he likes, but he insists that he's come to like it anyway and prefers the arrangement with it not being hosted in the same way other avatars are. You're probably not even reading this or have any intention of caring, but eventually this came to be depicted as me being horrible to him. More recently I was getting on his case for snapping at other people among other things, which meant I was absolutely horrible to him.
