So, long story short, I lost my old account that had a ridiculously high value and have since had to start over from scratch. I've accepted I'm not going to spend any more money on this game, and so will likely never get an inventory as good as I used to have, but I've been searching for a cerebrus pretty much since I restarted and haven't managed to get one. Checking values it doesn't seem like I'm lowballing ridiculously, and I seem to remember the dragon being a highly sought after pet, especially since it's both fly AND ride, so I guess I'm just not too sure on why I'm struggling to get this trade. Any tips for someone who hasn't played in a while?

i want to preface this by saying i've been a fan since sweetener released in 2018 when i was 9 years old, and this is just a long rant that i can't keep in anymore.

i've grown up listening to ariana, watching her image and sound change and develop.

i've interacted with countless stans and fans during that time, and i cannot believe how many people are not only refusing to acknowledge how unhealthy she is, but even going so far as to romanticise her figure now.

i've struggled with body image and weight, and have experienced being underweight at points of my life. i had people around me who helped me and worried over me, and i just cannot believe that nobody around her is doing nothing about this. not even that, but going so far as to encourage her to tour.

i loved watching the sweetener world tour as a child. the energy, the vibes, the outfits, the music. and i was so sure she would be better for this tour, but she has somehow managed to lose even more weight.

i've watched her fans accept her excuse of how her body back then was her on antidepressants and alcohol and therefore unhealthy whilst refusing to acknowledge that there are multiple ways to be unhealthy. i feel like i've lost a group of like-minded people because they're refusing to say the obvious, that ariana's clearly underweight, and attacking anyone who doesn't stay quiet about it.

i've watched her struggle to find the energy to do the simplest movements on stage during opening night.

i've watched her team, her friends, her family, her boyfriend allow her to waste away without seemingly trying to encourage her to get help (of course we don't know what may have happened behind the scenes, but it doesn't seem like it)

and i'm scared for her. she has a 40+ night tour coming up when she barely managed to complete the first night. and i know dancing has never been her strong suit, but at least she used to be able to comfortably do it, whereas now she looks like she doesn't even have the energy to wave her arms and do a couple turns.

if i'm being honest, i don't even care about the tour anymore, which i was super excited about before opening night. i thought the tour meant she would have to acknowledge that she physically isn't in a good place and do something about it.

she needs to get help. i understand that she's been struggling with eating disorders / poor eating habits for a while now, but she's always maintained a healthy enough amount of weight to function properly, which she simply hasn't been doing recently. any fans worth having would acknowledge that she needs to do what's right for her which is to go and get some help so she can start getting better.

i'm just so scared that she won't be able to access the help she needs before it's too late, and if i'm being honest, i feel really shitty that ariana's music has helped me through some of the most difficult points of my life and yet i'm too helpless to do anything to help her through this stage of her life.

*sorry if this sounds too rambling or difficult to follow, I'm really upset right now for multiple reasons*
