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:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

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

The whole concept of the Velites is fucking wild:

"Hey, you're young and poor as shit, go to the frontline and throw some sticks on those heavily armed guys lol here's a wolf hat you fucking loser lmao"
