[Script Shark, the love of my life died yesterday.]

Dear Vryl Valkyrie,

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your beloved Paul. Losing someone who meant so much to you must feel like an insurmountable void. Please know that my heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time. Your words beautifully express the depth of your love and connection with him, and it's evident that he was a truly special person in your life.

I understand the pain of losing a loved one all too well; In real life, I lost my husband of 10 years to cancer. Grief can be overwhelming, and it's okay to feel lost and shattered. Your bond with Paul, from the virtual world to the real one, was profound and unique, transcending boundaries. It's clear that he brought immense joy and love into your life.

Your commitment to keeping his memory alive through his sandbox is a touching tribute to the love you shared. And though it may not ease the pain now, please remember that you're not alone. Countless thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this challenging journey of grief and healing. Paul's love will always be with you, guiding and comforting you through the days ahead.

My deepest sympathy,

Michelle Springfield

[2021 What is the best laptop for Second Life for $400 or less?]

Unfortunately I only can afford $400 for a laptop. I am not into technology and know nothing about laptops. I am away from home in RL and borrowing someone's laptop. I would like my own laptop and I don't know what would be the right laptop to get for SL within my budget. All I do is hangout with friends, dance, explore, shop, take pictures, you know, the usual stuff. I don't build, design, code or any of that stuff. Can anyone recommend something for me? Thanks.

Real Life is is a difficult ball of terrible consequences for all of us right now...

Be kind to one another...

Even Bellisseria Slenderman is hugging the people on his victims list...

 

 

Slenderman may not talk, but his hugs are sweet and warm. ❤️

Thank you Slenderman for allowing me to be with you. Great picture. Thank you for sharing. I wish the man behind the Slenderman avatar to stay safe and healthy in these scary times of the coronavirus. *Hugs you tight*

[Bellisseria Slenderman Sightings]

Sad, but at least we do have solidarity as you said Slenderman. *Hugs*

He is my silent friend.. a great listener, captures me in my best light, and always appears at the right time.. (I may be a little enamoured with Slendy, but don't tell anyone)

Luxe Juliesse, I'm a bit enamoured with Slenderman too. 😉🥰

But does anyone ever ask “How is Bellisseria Slenderman?” 

We could ask how he is but he doesn't have a mouth to tell us. 😉

Philosophically speaking... Who is Bellisseria Slenderman?

Some possibilities:  Urban Legend, Monster, Object of your fears, Metaphor of Doom, Misunderstood Entity, Companion of the lost, Taboo Obsession, Artist, Aloof Explorer, Listener, Silent Friend, Mystery...

Whatever Bellisseria Slenderman is to you it comes from a feeling deep inside your soul...

Trust your soul...

 

Ignoring the folktales of evil, Slenderman to me represents the fear of being alone is this big scary SL world. His tentacles represent our lonely soul's need for touch and closeness and with many tentacles, that also represents that there are many types of love...love of a partner, a child, a parent, of siblings, of friends, of neighbors. His faceless appearance represents that love has no race, no color, no gender. His slender height represents that with love we can move upward and conquer all. -- Michelle Springfield

Yet another home with a Bellisseria Slenderman beacon...

 

Michelle Springfield, "That's my house! Dang it! Awww, I missed you! 😢 I so wanted to spend some time with you again. Next time I can hug you with regular clothes on and not in a microbikini (unless of course you want me in a microbikini 😉), LOL! 😆" Love you Slenderman. Stay safe. p.s. Slenderman you are welcome to my home anytime. Sit (can Slenderman sit?) make yourself comfortable. Have a cup of tea...oh wait, you don't have a mouth. Well, *if* you had a mouth I'd offer you a cup of tea. 😉 I do hope you come back when I'm home.

I'm sure there's a veritable library of Belli arcana waiting to be uncovered - but this is Slendie's thread, I don't wanna derail it, not the time or place to track those critters down ^__^

 

Oh sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I wasn't meaning that anyone here should list other monsters on Slenderman's thread. I was just saying *if* other monsters are reading the thread, they are welcome to a hug. Sorry again for the mix-up. Peace, love and hugs! 🥰

***WARNING***

A very short break in the RP for a very important message and I'm reusing an old photo since it seems appropriate here...

*************************************************************************************

We are living in very serious times outside of this sheltered little world of SL.  Here... the worst thing that might happen is Bellisseria Slenderman may find you... But out there in Real Life there is a real struggle for us all to survive amidst this terrible virus...

As perhaps your oddest of SL friends my advice is simple...

Breath a little... STAY at home if you can... trust the advice of the scientists and experts... allow yourself to have this escape here in SL... We WILL get through this together as a world family...

The person behind the Bellisseria Slenderman just wants you to know you are loved and valued...  I am happy you are here...

Everything is going to be ok...

Except your avatar... Bellisseria Slenderman will still be coming for that...

 

Sincerely,

Bellisseria Slenderman

**********************************************************************************************

Now back to being creepy again

Thank you Slenderman. Stay safe. Although scary, we all secretly love you. 🥰

oh man, now I really want to see an un-slender slenderman avatar with like, Santa's waistline.  What would you even call him then?  just "Man?"

I'm sure he'd love that!  Really puttin' the man in Slenderman.  

But if Slendie can't appreciate me with my clothes on, I think it's time my eldritch heart moves on to other unspeakable entities 😛

Are there other Bellisseria monsters to love? Bring them on! I love to hug monsters (and most anyone) in my microbikini or in regular clothes. I'm just a hugger by nature. 🥰

Just now, Kelli Voom said:

oooOOOhhHHH I see how it is - Slenderman doesn't hug or dance or pay you any mind - *unless* you're a blondie in a microbikini

LOL Kelli! Jealous? 😆 Actually, I've seen pictures of him hugging others. But he still sticks to his RP with not speaking and other than forcing him to hug with my hug HUD, he doesn't interact. Friends want to know why I would want to hug a monster. Hey, why not? Don't monsters need hugs and love too? Maybe someone can turn a monster into a good monster (is there such a thing?) with lots of love and hugs. Kelli, I dare you to summon the Slenderman, wearing a microbikini and hug Slenderman. I betcha you will get a few good snapshots of it! Give it a try. I'm sure he won't mind hugs from a brunette in a microbikini either. 😉

Bellisseria Slenderman spotted in Honey Junction...

From Michelle Springfield:  I was getting ready to go to the beach and lo and behold I saw THE Bellisseria Slenderman on my radar. He was actually hanging out in my Bellisseria neighborhood! So cool! So I decided to forgo the beach and instead go hangout with the Bellisseria Slenderman. I spent like a good hour or more with Slenderman. I went on mic and chatted to him. He obviously doesn't speak or interact but I knew he could hear me. I think chatting to him was far more therapeutic than seeing a shrink! LOL! He did allow me to hug him, not just once but THREE TIMES! I feel so privileged! Slenderman, thank you for the lovely evening and all the hugs. I do hope I see you again soon. Note: I look naked in the picture, but I was not. I had on a micro bikini because I was about to go to the beach.

Thank you Talligurl. I will look for your Friend Request. You are very thoughtful and kind. I appreciate that. :matte-motes-grin:

[Post and thread closed]

Thank you Talligurl. That is very kind of you. I do not know how much time we will spend together since my hours are a bit odd. I usually log in around midnight SLT and log off sometime before 5:00 a.m. SLT. With those hours I do not know if I will catch you online. I can teach you how to surf and hoverboard. It is fun. You will need to buy yourself a hoverboard. We can go to surf beaches where they have free surfboards so you will not have to buy one. If you want to ride bicycles with me around pretty nature sims and parks, you will need to buy yourself a bicycle. Riding bicycles is so much fun and it is a great way to tour large nature sims and parks. If you want to swim deep down in the SL oceans, you can usually find a free mermaid tail through Marketplace and a mermaid AO. Without the AO you will not be able to make your mermaid tail work. So you do need a mermaid AO. There are some freebie ones and inexpensive ones on Marketplace that you can use to see if it is something you want to continue to pursue and then upgrade later on to a better looking tail.

Thank you for the reply. However, the tone of your reply sounds less constructive and more judgmental. To fully understand what I face both in real life and in SL, you might want to take a look at these two articles: 

An Unapologetic Introvert's Gudie to Clubs, Bars & Parties: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2015/12/an-unapologetic-introverts-guide-to-clubs-bars-parties/

How to Tell the Difference Between Social Anxiety & Introversion: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2016/04/how-to-tell-the-difference-between-social-anxiety-introversion/

I try my best to use SL as a type of therapy to help me to overcome my social anxiety. But just rushing into social activities with lots of people suddenly is not the answer. That causes me too much anxiety and panic attacks. I need to go slowly and be with just one or two people at a time in a quiet setting that does not have lots of noise. Too much noise and too many people I just cannot handle it.

You say I like nothing. I do like things. But they are more the type of things to do with just one or two friends like bicycle riding or surfing or just sitting on a porch and chatting. There is nothing wrong with the way I am. Everyone is different. Not everyone is a fluttery social butterfly. Do not judge me. I am sure there are others in SL like me who I would get along with. I just need suggestions on how to find people like me.

Although I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and reply, your reply did nothing to help me in anyway other than to show me how judgmental some people can be towards others who suffer from a chronic mental health condition.

[Post and thread closed]

Thanks for the suggestions. I am not into combat and fighting dragons and monsters and stuff. Other than mermaids, I am mostly into more reality type things. Never was a big fan of fantasy or Sci-Fi. I want family role play and not finding much of it in SL even though there are lots of sims dedicated to it and groups dedicated to it and adoption agencies. It seems that the majority of people are there when I can't be online in SL. So when I log on, these family role play sims are empty and I think everyone is a sleep in real life. Maybe I should leave SL and just go play The Sims.
