congratulations on becoming an admin again!!! :)))) Orchid;Somnium 19:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, also, UCP is terrible -Athena
hell yeah it is! Orchid;Somnium 20:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
It is probably the worst thing I've seen happen to FANDOM. I almost gave up on doing what I came back to do when I saw just how piss-ugly the source editor's become. I applaud anyone that has the mental strength to tolerate FANDOM's bullshit. -Athena
Hi Athena! I know you probably don't recognize me, but I've seen your work on this website, and it's really impressive. You've always had lots of talent! I just wanted to say hello. Also, it's good to know that you're alright. CoolDetective123·Hey there!·I'm useless 21:42, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey there, you're right in that I don't recognize you (I'm behind), but I'm glad you enjoy my work :) Hello to you too, I hope you're having a good day -Athena
Ey Athena how's it goin. CrakaboLazy4090 (talk) 21:52, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
I won't lie, I feel like I've been doing worse since leaving, but I've been managing to hold on. How's everyone else doing though? -Athena
UCP sucks Lumoshi (t • c) 21:56, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
UCP? More like, United Corporate Pisshole -Athena
Hey there Athena! Just wanted to say I hope you're doing okay, and if not, I hope things get better for you soon. Fantendo sure feels a hell of a lot different lately, maybe because of UCP, but we've all been getting through it alright together as a community. Anyway, all the best to you :)
from Spheal
Somebody told me that the community's been getting along better lately, so I hope that it being a hell of a lot different really means that the community is mostly reunited and healing together. UCP fucking sucks but I've heard mostly good things since leaving. As for me, uh, I'll again be honest and say I'm faring poorly, but that doesn't matter, I wanted to check on everyone else. It's good to see some of you again :> -Athena
Hey Athena, it's me, Mr. Yokai. I'm still holding on despite what happened, and the new editor you use... it's basically just begging you to understand normal MediaWiki because this editor's just a modified version of the one on say, like, Miraheze. Yes, the VE is basically just the same as the VE on Miraheze, which means that we have complicated steps. Summary of UCP, better learn normal MediaWiki or you're screwed.
Oh, and they got rid of polls. Check this out. (you need to view this in source or it won't work, if it doesn't appear oops)
On topic of Polls, the only way to use Polls are Discussions, which are more like concussions to the head. It looks too much like a separate website for one thing and some people at Fandom think we can use Discussions like and they don't use wikitext.
To make matters even worse, the comments now run on Feeds (what Discussions run on), meaning you can't use Wikitext- worst of all, Fandom has no plans of re-implementing them, they stated that "we saw that a very small percentage of messages were making use of the old Message Wall’s source editor" and basically don't have any plans to return them. TL;DR: RIP wikitext comments.
I'm still holding on, except I barely comment anymore since edits and comments are now separated. I also barely use the Source Editor, I can't tell why I can't alternate between VE and SE outside of this but whatever. Hope UCP improves pronto.

Heyo Yokai, good to hear from you. Yeah, Fandom's new changes are abysmal to say the least. If I ever come back, I'd have to get over how terrible the editor is and I'm not sure if I really want to bother with it. By the way, for others viewing my talk page, you can talk to me privately via ComfortablyNumb#6407 on Discord. That's not my main account, but I'm willing to talk to anyone there even if I have delayed responses. -Athena
Just a few questions[]
Hi Athena! I knew you'd pop back in eventually. I've just got a few questions to ask. Since your mental health likely isn't as good as it could be, I'm not forcing you to answer.
- Why did you make all of your property not free to use? Unless I'm missing something, the only advantages to doing so would be for personal reasons; if this is so, I'd like to know what said personal reasons are. Letting your characters and property not be able to used by other Fantendo users is a tragedy to us; COLD❄BLOOD is not only the crown jewel of your works, but arguably also of Fantendo as a whole. (I was planning over 60 COLD*BLOOD spirits in Fantendo Smash Bros. Combat (erictom333) before you left, more than any other single franchise.)
- Furthermore, why also Zellen Harley Quimbleson? Why would you adopt a character only to take it out of the free-to-use domain?
- Why did you delete the pages for COLD*BLOOD's fighters? Whilst I get that making one big subpage for all the fighters ingame is convenient, not also having pages for each character is an annoyance, especially when it comes to their appearances in other games. Furthermore, the pages for Sinicini, Adexene and Zonas coexisted perfectly well with COLD*BLOOD until you deleted them, as did the Fantendo DLC fighters (see Reten's in particular).
- The same can be said about some of the support characters (Adexene, Blake Cooper (who was cut from the game), Epica and Sarona, Mindy Metallurgy, and Penny) and bosses (Medea, Mallory), due to their appearances on other games.
- Why did you delete Absinthe's page? Similar reasons to 3 apply, because she is a Summoner Orb in FSBC.
- Furthermore, Adrenaline Rush was one of my favourite games on this wiki back when I was a lurker, and I'm considering adopting it and its property now that you're leaving. After all, one man's trash is another's treasure, as they say.
- Are you okay if I talk to you about the Zaxinian Lifts?
(Also, I've managed to decode the text in The Creator's box with an Excel spreadsheet. Bwahahahahahaha!) Erictom333 (talk) 00:17, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- I don't want people to use my characters because I don't want to have continued relevancy on the site, I only made this account in the first place to refine a page I personally felt wasn't in top shape. Also, the rights of Zellen were personally transferred to me, and I decided to give her the same status as the others because of controversies surrounding her creator.
- The pages for each character were of uneven quality and I had no time to bring them all in great shape.
- If I have no interest in working on something, or if I'm no longer comfortable with the page being on the wiki, I tend to delete it. That includes Adrenaline Rush and all its associated works.
- DO NOT ADOPT ANYTHING I USED TO OWN. Just because I left does not give you a right to use something I do not feel comfortable with you using. Why do you insist on doing things that I ask or advise you not to do?
- No, I'm tired of talking about the Zaxinian Lifts with you. We're just going in circles every time we talk about it.
-Athena
this feels really weird but[]
hey, how you doin. tell indigo that i said incomprehensible fart noises

Hey. I'm doing ok.

Re: Temporary admin rights[]
Hi Athena,
I have given you a temporary administrator role that will automatically expire after 24 hours. If you need me to extend the time limit (or need me to give you the role again after the time limit expires), please let me know.
— StellaStardown (talk) 02:57, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Re^2:Just a few questions[]
- Leaving the wiki is enough to make you irrelevant onsite. Few users think of Stelios when they think of Ella Metals. Few users think of Yami no Tenshi when they think of Aingeru. Similarly, in a few months or years time few users will think of you when they think of Bowie or Silver or any of your stuff.
- Can I propose the following deal: You make your characters free to use, BUT I will not use them until July 2021, except in Fantendo Smash Bros. Combat (erictom333) and subpages; further, I shall nott use any of your property in my next FSB game. Keep in mind that since few to no new Fantendo crossovers are being created, nobody will use your property anyway.
- Any page is better then no page, more so if multiple pages link to it, and especially if it is linked in a navbox like FSBC's.
- That's fine, though ideally Absinthe's page in particular should be kept up for reasons per #2.
- That's fine. I was just asking.
- That's fine. We can discuss it later if you return, or likely never.

Response[]
I do not give a shit about becoming irrelevant, that's what I'm aiming to become as soon as I can. I'm obviously not helping matters by coming back and doing edits to pages I own, but by next year, I hope to never post anything ever again on this website. Not out of spite, but because I need to move on and I only feel comfortable doing so when I fix up everything I want to fix up. That's why I'm back here in the first place, because I wasn't comfortable leaving behind Zinfestation in its current state.
You will never use my characters ever again after your Combat project. I do not want you, or anyone else, to have access to my characters again in brand-new projects. I do not want you to use anything I own, please try to understand that because this feels like harassment at this rate. I'm not going to give in or change my mind on this, and any further bargaining will be ignored.
I think when most people think of me, they also think of Exo, who got banned last July for very fucking good reasons. Most if not all of my characters have been drawn by her, which makes me very reluctant to give other people permission to use them, because I don't want people to be reminded of Exo every fucking time they see my stuff. I'm only even keeping all my works up because I did at least 95% of the work on all of them and because they have pretty good critical reception from the community, from what I remember anyway.
I really hope this response is good enough for you and inspires you to never talk to me again about using my properties. Not only do I want to fall further into obscurity/irrelevancy, I don't want people to see Exo's content pop up anywhere else.
-Athena
RE^3 to eric[]
even though im supposed to be gone for a while for my mental health, eric man you've gotta respect athena's wishes and stop bugging her about using her stuff
she isn't gonna accept your deal or discuss her thing with you even after she says she doesn't want to, also i dont think she really cares about becoming irrelevant on a site like fantendo LOL
anyways PEACE and LOVE

Thank you Instinct

Discord[]
Hi Athena.
It's Wither here. I tried adding you on Discord with the username + tag mentioned on this page, but it didn't work. Have you changed your Discord handle, or turned off friend requests? It's been a long time and it would be cool to talk to you again.
For the record, if you'd rather not have me in your Discord DM list, I completely understand — I respect your wishes and will not insist if you decline. But I figured there's no real harm in asking.
Wither 08:55, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
