That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

[kindofamazing]

Not really but there are also people who run around in red and blue tights and some of us get calls from the President while some of us get called a menace to society. I'm not bitter though.

Do you know they said I dragged a baby into a sewer and ate it once? I mean, do I look like the titular character of a horror novel to you? Be honest.

... Actually maybe don't. Tell me sweet lies instead.

[vestments]

Do I need to remind you what they say about me?

They also say you eat criminals and have venomous fangs.

But you do crawl up walls. Have you seen The Exorcist?

[kindofamazing]

What I do with my criminals in private is between me, them and God.

And these don't sound like sweet lies to me. Are you trying to drive the I Don't Play Well With Others thing home?

I could tell you some sweet lies if you want. Like how you'd make a great Build-a-Bear.

[vestments]

Not many people agree with that point of view.

No. ( yes. ) But you know what they say about honesty.

[kindofamazing]

Does what they say about honesty apply to those us in masks though?

[vestments]

Why wouldn't it?

[kindofamazing]

I mean, okay, point. But arguably there's something probably philosophical about hiding the truth behind the mask.

Besides all the practical safety stuff.

Look I'm just a sensitive soul at heart.

I've had a similar conversation with my therapist.

She was a lot more blunt about it.

[kindofamazing]

I'm going to regret this but... What did she say?

[vestments]

( please excuse him while he takes 10 hours to reply.

(and decides if he even wants to reply at all.) )

Denial.

( ............not quite. )

[kindofamazing]

[Ah.

Well.

It's Peter's turn to take a while replying, but the typing bubble appears and vanishes several times in and off.

Is he going to say something mature and insightful?]

I guess it could be worse. She could have just said "daddy issues."

[ 🥲 ]

[vestments]

( does peter know marc has DEEP-SEATED, INTENSE DADDY ISSUES? possibly, possibly not, possibly just an off-hand remark that's embarrassingly correct.

(hashtag just marvel character things) )

She specializes in superhero menticide. There's a lot she doesn't have to say.

[kindofamazing]

[Blissfully unaware. La la la! We're all fine here! 🙃 ]

Well when you put it that way...

Really though, good for you, man. Therapy. Time for and on yourself.

Your... selves. Can I say that? Is okay to say that?

[vestments]

You're aware the Black Panther gave me no other choice.

( half a question, half a statement, entirely not obvious thanks to the wonders of text.

(therapy or jail. therapy or jail.) )

They're not involved.

[kindofamazing]

I'm not on all the mailing lists.

Is it helping?

[vestments]

Any, by the sound of it.

Yes.

If it helps, I hate it.

[kindofamazing]

Hey, I get it, I'm just not one of the cool kids.

So, you hate help? Wait, are we back in the realm of the anti-team work thing?

[vestments]

It's not about help.

It's just a difficult process.

( by which he means: he prefers to pretend he has no feelings. )

[kindofamazing]

Well, you know what they say about no gains, am I right?
