How to tell a boy you like him without exploding him with your brain.

[prayercloset]

[ Coincidentally, how to blow up annoying titles with your brain would be good to suss out. ]

[murim]

... Wow! You can do something like that?

[notouches]

First time I've talked to someone with bigger relationship problems than me.

He's a ten but he's also human.

[annarr]

[or, if you want to get spicy and spoilers-for-the-novel-y, consider:

She's the only one who gets me and I don't want to let go of her again but she's going to destroy an entire planet and get me blamed for Ragnarök.]

sorry for...all of this bullshit.

[prayercloset]

What's wrong with humans?

[ Okay. So. She's actually already aware of the answer to this question, but it's kind of a default one.

Alongside "aren't you a human?" ]

honestly his whole life

[annarr]

[honestly give him a long minute of blinking at her because g i r l.]

Does that really need explaining?

[like there are humans and there are humans who understand how terrible humans are, and he'd very much put her mentally in that second camp.]

Re: He's a ten but he's also human.

[lettersfrombel]

This is where you need to explain what you are if you want advice. Is it a lifespan thing, a 'I'll be disowned' thing, an 'I'm allergic to humans' thing...

I think I might have a thing for my best friend?

[aprilthirtieth]

But I've never been into another guy before, so how can I be sure? Should I just- find someone to mess around with and see if I have a good time? And if I do, is there anything I can do about it without ruining the friendship? ... Hell, I'm not sure if he's into men, now that I think about it, I only know of girlfriends for him but he's cagey about personal life...

he said another girl was prettier than me! in front of the whole kingdom!

[veryfond]

[ This is..... not inaccurate, but not how she'd chose to phrase it. ]

[darotisentys]

That seems awfully insensitive of him.

[gaeaf]

Hm. Dispose of her, and frame him for her demise.

[rezpls]

...

Do you think he was correct in his observation?

he's dense as a rock and will likely never notice my feelings.

[intentio]

[ healthy communication is absolutely out of the question. ]

[ancientweapon]

Do you need him to notice?

[menkoi]

Sounds like you're not even in a relationship? What are you doing here.

[beautymarker]

[Oh. He resembles that remark.]

What are you protecting by keeping them to yourself?

[unjilt]

Tell him! You have to tell him!

If he's dense as hell you have to rattle him like a bottle of pills until it goes through his thick skull!

Anyone else never end up with the people they think are their type/have crushes on?

[beautymarker]

Extra credit question: WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS??

How do I get him to make the first move for once??

[unjilt]

[rezpls]

It's a little hard to advise on that without some details about the person you're interested in.

[menkoi]

Skill issue.

i've spent decades of my life hunting people like him as if they were nothing but dangerous animals.

[shewhohunts]

[ never mind that she'd reached levels of emotional repression hereto unknown by god and man at the age of eighteen and it only got worse over the next twenty-three years of her life. this is also perhaps the first time she's felt more then the slightest stirring of proper romantic interest in anyone.

it's fine. whatever. if she glares at the ground hard enough, surely the title will go away. ]

Re: i've spent decades of my life hunting people like him as if they were nothing but dangerous anim

[thepriceforalife]

Does he know that? Because how to proceed varies depending on your answer.

[Look, as a former monster hunter who married the granddaughter of two traitors to his order, Thomas has been at least in the neighborhood.]

His privileged optimism is infuriating.

[keineangst]

[ He is also the only person who has consistently loved and understood you and that same relentless hope he possesses is why he has never and will never give up on you, and keeps entrusting you with babysitting his kids while he does Astral Plane stuff, but ok Mags. ]

Am I to pretend his fundamental difference of opinion will not consistently get in the way of my goals and settle for — tsk. Bah.

[ Magneto cuts himself off and stares moodily into this distance, arms crossed. ]

[minded]

[ these timelines are getting stranger and stranger. very, very politely, charles drinks his tea first before answering. ]

Have you— tried speaking to him?
