Loving him was...a bad idea, a terrible decision made by sll!

[mirrormirrormeme]

what it's like ♡ two memes in one. - For blank top-levels: Tell us what the experience of being in love with your character is like. Others reason if that's a selling point (or not). - For top-level starters in the subject line or the comment body: Characters who harbor affection for yours (or who have players that enjoy assumed cr) will describe what it’s like to love them.

... Don't know that anyone can answer this, but I'll bite.

I guess I can offer loyalty? Just don't put me down like a dog if I bite.

[justavoid]

You know you're literally my scary dog privilege, right? [He grins up at him.]

THEM ✨🌈

[joshington]

And you haven't even seen my other form yet. [ He thinks. Probably. He can never be completely sure of the status of anything happening or not, really. ]

Too bad I've never had an emo phase. It would probably complete the effect when I follow you around.

[justavoid]

Do you actually want me to...? [He's never exactly sure where Josh lands on the whole thing. He is... technically, a monster. But nothing he's admitted to Bob has sent him running yet and he thinks that Josh has realized that's not happening. Not here. Not with him.

He laughs, soft and self-derisive.] God, don't remind me.

[Yes, yes he did have an emo phase, years ago. And yes, it was absolutely a phase, not a lifestyle in his case.]

[joshington]

It's not exactly wanting you to. I need someone to see it eventually and I'd only trust you with that.

[ He pauses as the rest sinks in. ]

If you're going to tell me you had one, you need to pony up the pictures immediately. Not optional.

[justavoid]

You can always trust me. [He laughs and rolls his eyes, already pulling the phone away from his ear so he can switch to speaker phone. He's alone in his room anyway. Probably. Unless Ava was in his room...?

He squints around the room quickly, but doesn't notice anything that seems... off or strange, so maybe it all went through fine this time.] And I'm really glad you feel like you can trust me.

[He flips through pictures on his camera roll until he finds the right batch of them. He selects a few to send to Josh. They look just as awful and cringey as you might imagine.]

Awful shit. Glad I didn't keep up with that look, honestly. It was just... objectively bad.

[joshington]

[ Awful and cringey? No, you don't understand, Josh lives for that kind of thing. He's silent for a long minute or two as he just looks them over. ]

I'm sorry, you sent me photographic proof and just expect me to ignore how hot it is because you say it's bad? Please. I'm not playing that today.

[justavoid]

[He scoffs softly and rolls his eyes.]

Shut up. It's so bad.

[He braces his hand over his eyes and hides his face as he laughs quietly.]

[joshington]

If it's bad, I don't want to be good.

It doesn't make me think clean things, either, so I'm really not actually being good here.

[ He's just going to save those pictures to a folder... ]

Ugh, I had to.

[puzzleshounen]

I think you can offer more than that.

Yes you did 🧡

[joshington]

Hell if I know what.

Look, I'm a literal champion at Rubik's Cubes. I'm not kidding, you can compete in crap like that. But it doesn't exactly mean I understand what you're talking about most of the time.

[puzzleshounen]

A champion of Rubik's Cubes? Wanna race sometime? It'd be fun! I could even make custom cubes for us to use!

[But then his expression softens.]

And look, when you talk about your interests? You're so passionate? So interesting? You know I started looking into photography because of you? I have a few cameras lying around at home...

[joshington]

Sure, just don't hurt your hands trying to keep up with me. There's better uses for those.

[ Anyway... ]

What kind of cameras? I want to see, don't hold out on me.

[puzzleshounen]

O-oh, um...huh. Yeah, uh...

Ahem.

[Cough.]

Oh! Ah. A few DSLRs, and I even tried a video camera out! There's something really nostalgic about analog tech, you know? I wanted to create some memories with it.

And... you know. Record us. Dates and just having fun together.

... it appears to generally end badly.

[secretconfiding]

Expecting happiness... That is to take the happiness out of what little life leaves us with.

[whateverworks]

Interesting perspective. You like to let life surprise you?

[secretconfiding]

I like not to be surprised too much, so I embrace unhappiness, knowing it's inevitable.

[whateverworks]

[ Hmmm. Unusual perspective indeed.

He remembers Makie telling him that all she wanted was just a sliver of happiness.

How lacking in ability to provide such he has been.

And then, on the contrary, he also remembers Hisoka's quiet acceptance of her fate. But then, Hisoka near damn insisted on marrying him, despite all the reasons speaking against such a union he listed. ]

What has you so resigned, I wonder?

[secretconfiding]

[ She looks at him, smiling only slightly, thinking of butterflies and the fickle nature of true happiness. What she holds in her hands with Kiyoaki is like that, a butterfly. It will die, if you touch it with too much strength or insistence. ]

The boy I love didn't want me until the man I'm marrying decided he did. Now, it's too late.

[whateverworks]

Hah. Sounds almost like something you'd read in a penny dreadful, or see in a kabuki play.

One should not be asked to suffer such things in real life.

[secretconfiding]

Theatre replicates real life. Maybe real life is only reclaiming a little bit of what it considers its own material.

[ She sounds completely serious, her features even sombering somewhat - until, changing on the turn of a heel, she is smiling again, wider than before. ]

Under any circumstances, this life isn't forever. Suffering is temporary.

It's a sin. And like all sin, it'll end with the sinner getting his due punishment and the sin getting renounced.

...?

[You are looking at a guy who managed to get like 4 people (and a troll with a penchant for white-haired men, possibly?) crushing on him without noticing anything whatsoever. Save yourself the frustration and run away, or take responsibility for your bad choices; either way, you have been warned.]
