The Unfreakening (not clickbait)

Before I share this retirement, I recommend you to go on the site, probably not all this will appear on the app, let’s begin.

There was a time when I danced with madness. When I wore the freaky crown not with shame, but with pride. But every reign must end. This is my story. This is my reckoning. This… is The Unfreakening.

Chapter I: The rise of my freakiness
I was once a humble poster. Just somebody that enjoys Roblox(or at least used to). A dreamer in the off-topic wastelands of Chess.com. My posts were strange, yes, but innocent. I drew time to time just for fun. I asked why the rook was short (in lichess). I made people laugh.
But laughter is a gateway drug.
Then came the OTF Freaky Ranks. A thread born of chaos. A place where freakiness was currency, and I was rich. I changed my profile picture and from there, it all started. I posted cryptic messages. I became a parody of myself. The freakiness consumed me.
I was no longer posting. I was performing.

Chapter II: The Descent

At first, it was fun. The attention. The reactions. The memes. But slowly, the line blurred between the persona and the person. I started posting things I didn’t even understand. I wrote in riddles. I insulted myself. I spiraled.
I remember one post:
“I hate myself. I hate what I’ve become. Don’t follow me.”
That wasn’t freaky. That was real.
I had become the villain of my own story.

Chapter III: The Reckoning
I got muted for a while, I used lichess to communicate with some of you, but it wasn’t the same, and the freakiness was still there.
I did join the art tournament, even tho I never sent the drawing, I still had fun being in it. The problem is, I was still freaky, that freakiness was still in my spine. I couldn’t escape it, until now…

Chapter IV: The Unfreakening

Today, I choose to retire the freaky crown. Not in shame, but in growth. I’ve learned that chaos without purpose is just noise. And I want to be more than noise.
I hereby declare:
No more cryptic freaky posts.
No more mimicry or trolling.
No more self-hate disguised as performance.
From this day forward, I am a normal user.
I will start playing chess more. I will share art time to time. I will be weird, but wholesome. I will be funny, but kind. I will be me, but better.
Hope you enjoyed this writing with an actual true story.

Why do you always send a "." even when you don’t have to?

Because I can, right to, and follow the forum. It is my main way of expressing myself.

Ok. Do you have any opinions on the thread?

It’s a story, good.

Putting thought into your forums need more attention.

They do.

but maybe because of my reputation, nobody cares about them as on the site, the user can see who made the thread before clicking on it.

Are they just handing the hat out now or...

*crown

I read it, changing will probably be difficult, but good for OTF.

Nope.

just retirement.

Thanks man!

You don’t need to promote your thread here. If nobody cares about it, then nobody cares about it.

I’m not into role plays. It’s also unnecessary to post it here.

Great thread, really well written. And best of luck

Thanks!

It’s official, the "." infection is here
