This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I war of the worlds’d my partner once. It’s the sort of thing you do once, realize just how fucked up your actions were, and learn never to do it again, or a yearly tradition if you’re with precisely the right person.

Created like 2 years of emotional dependence from that. Really stagnated our personal evolutions. Truly a terrible joke. I regret it weekly.

Faked a narrative so convincingly that the partner really thought something (i guess) terrible has happened.

You know, like when War fo the Worlds was aired for the first time, people really thought aliens had attacked the US.

Fun fact: that never actually happened. It was just a fun little goof some papers ran with and spread for shits and gigs to play along. No one thought it was real.

In actuality, it was a weekly radio program that always told fiction stories and it was on its regular broadcast time, only had a 2% listener audience across the US, there were commercial breaks that mentioned the show, and no one believed it was real. No histaria, no people killing themselves, no end of the world vibes.
