I played with Fedora/Hat a lot back in the LJ days of DDD. After a few months it became clear she had absolutely no control over her life and RP was making it worse. You either had to be 100% behind her, or she would be convinced you were trying to bring her down. You'd want to be concerned over her mental and physical health, but you'd quickly realize she was mindbogglingly manipulative about it. I've told her several times that she should quit RP because it was clearly bad for her health, she couldn't handle communicating with others civilly, she believed everyone was against her, and she didn't know how to adapt when things didn't always go her way.

And she's still in this hobby. For goodness sake, Fedora, if you are reading this, RP was terrible for you 6 years ago, and RP is still terrible for you now. Leave and get real help. Sincerely from someone whom you didn't bully away with your attitude many years ago.

I was still bright-eyed and new to journal RP when I got mixed up with Hat and for a long time I did genuinely consider her a friend and want to help her. But holy shit was she a conniving, toxic person.

I have no doubt that she's going through crap IRL but she has a persecution complex a mile long that multiple people have tried to help her work out to no avail. It doesn't matter what situation she's in, she finds a way to turn it into an absolute crisis in which she is the martyr who could do no wrong.
