has it not had plenty already?
it's a collection of one-shots, not some grand mythology
not everything needs to be AND THIS IS HOW THOR DEFEATED THE CHILDREN OF THE PRIMORDIAL DEMIURGE
counterstep: (i don't like it)

I don't know what happy endings have really happened, then
and maybe it doesn't feel like some grand mythology to you, but from where I am, inside of it, this is all part of the history I live

there are not breaks between what I experience that would ever make things feel like one-shots

you've made all this talk of accepting me as i am

if that's the case, then you know that i cannot be straightforward in what i do. nor do i handle relationships the way a mortal might. and if that is an issue, you're welcome to stop responding to me any time you like.

otherwise i'm left to assume you enjoy playing this game as i do

it's less of a game, for me
more like a dance

but I'm an old fart so that's probably overly outdated in some way ( definitely not because he's a cheesy romantic and trying to dismiss it, or something. )

I can't help being curious as it's in my nature so I'm sorry if it's come across combative or demeaning
you're enough
I promise

I'm just also trying to figure out how I chase someone who goes where I can't

i'm older.

maybe steal something off of strange, though.
counterstep: (yeah whatever you say)

[personal profile] counterstep 2025-05-26 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
what's the oldest metaphor you would use, then? as advice for a much younger old man

I'll see what I can manage



is it too much to ask to see you?

i already used the metaphor i wanted to use! but perhaps it's more apt for gods than midgardians...

i have an apartment in new york. i change its location when i need to, slot it into different buildings as if it's always been there. it'll stay put for a bit now. i think that's fair enough.
counterstep: (you should have seen the other guy)

[personal profile] counterstep 2025-05-26 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
ah yeah not having that sort of power does make it seem less like a game for most Midgardians, probably
it's different anyway, the game you think of compared to that of a power-hungry CEO of a megacorp

should we not be meeting for coffee or dinner before I end up at your apartment? ( teasing, of course. )

if you want, i can select some random coffee shop without telling you and you can try to track me down.

regardless, i'm not giving you an exact location either way. i thought finding an apartment where it shouldn't be might be an easier task than checking every single starbucks, but again my perspective could be skewed.
counterstep: (kek)

[personal profile] counterstep 2025-05-26 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah I figured you weren't telling me directly

I was just trying to be funny
it's fine

I'll look for your apartment
