you're not using that right you know pity encompasses two different quadrants and one of them just so happens to correspond to what we know as traditional romance what I'm saying is your burn backfired
you're trying it with the person who meets an alien and immediately becomes enthralled in a lecture about different kinds of romantic entanglement a miscalculation
there were twice as many trolls as humans on that meteor and i was there for three years of course i know i mean i know the basics i dated a troll i couldnt really get away with not getting at least that much
uh you don't have to talk about this if it's weird or anything basic disclaimer it just seems like you're not into the whole quadrant thing so I wouldn't have thought you'd date someone who grew up with them
i mean yeah i had some concerns and it turned out i couldnt hack it i couldnt deal with her hatedating someone on the side even though to her it probably wasnt "on the side" its just part of how it works and it shouldnt have to be all furtive but she made it like that anyway? i dont know if it was because she didnt think i could handle it or if something else was going on but i got sick of all the sneaking around and talked to her about it and well yeah we called it off like a year ago
nah i dont really mind talking about this if its actually interesting to you its kind of awk but well to address the oliphaunt in the room weve both talked about WAY worse stuff than my failed teenage ex capades already
oh yeah I was kinda trying to give everyone involved an out to engaging in that if that wasn't overly obvious probably I just I don't know I'm nowhere near an expert and wasn't there or anything and don't know her or anyone else involved but I was just gonna say it sounds like there was just more issues going on than the whole quadrants thing it seems like I talked to this guy York a bit ago about like dating more than one person at once and how it can work and it can't but it takes a lot of communication I wonder if that's how it works for quadrants too
it's that time of night I'm just going on tangents you can like ask me something unfortunate or weird if you want I didn't mean to get all high and might dispensing advice or something
you know i always sort of wondered where bad dragon came from culturally speaking like what touched our collective unconscious and at what point to make people want to put rainbow naga dildos up their no no places i guess i finally have an answer
probably because i was subconsciously thinking about the fact ive literally never dated within my own species this is how i do my mouth just says things and its like welp there it is thats me
never? really? I mean no that makes sense from what you told me - closest friends all live apart - meteors - The Meteor all that kind of just assumed MOST other people have more dating experience (I dated one guy in high school for two weeks?? that's it)
yeah i guess high schools kind of where thats supposed to happen but well i didnt exactly have a chance to attend and man the space rock pickings were SLIM let me tell you
that's what I've gathered how many of you WERE there anyway? I've talked to you and Karkat about it but I haven't gotten numbers you and Karkat Rose and Kanaya I think her name was? and who else I remember seeing a Terezi? and Karkat mentioned the Mayor to me aka your favorite person
oh my fuck the MAYOR shit i miss that little dude so much hes SO GOOD uncontestedly the finest collection of atoms and molecules any universe has seen fit to fling together and im including microwave burritos in that list so you know im serious jesus hes so cute and so huggable and he cares about DEMOCRACY and he always knows exactly what to say to a guy even if he doesnt actually talk god i love the mayor
[He's not intentionally avoiding the question, it's just Dave's affection for the Mayor cannot be contained.]
[That's the feeling she gets. Oh, that's so damn endearing.]
ohhh Karkat was RIGHT if you're ever blue again all I have to do is ask you about the Mayor and you'll cheer right up ;) he sounds like a fun little guy is he little? what's the Mayor look like?

[Text]
why cant i enjoy my obnoxious cultural insensitivity in peace
[Text]
a miscalculation
I kind of wasn't sure if you knew or not though
[Text]
of course i know
i mean i know the basics
i dated a troll i couldnt really get away with not getting at least that much
[Text]
you hadn't
uh you don't have to talk about this if it's weird or anything
basic disclaimer
it just seems like you're not into the whole quadrant thing
so I wouldn't have thought you'd date someone who grew up with them
[Text]
yeah
i had some concerns
and it turned out i couldnt hack it i couldnt deal with her hatedating someone on the side
even though to her it probably wasnt "on the side" its just part of how it works and it shouldnt have to be all furtive
but she made it like that anyway?
i dont know if it was because she didnt think i could handle it or if something else was going on but i got sick of all the sneaking around and talked to her about it and
well
yeah
we called it off like a year ago
[Text]
I can just
whip out another dad joke if this is too awkward
seriously
[Text]
its kind of awk but
well
to address the oliphaunt in the room
weve both talked about WAY worse stuff than my failed teenage ex capades already
[Haha...ha.]
[Text]
oh
yeah
I was kinda trying to give everyone involved an out to engaging in that
if that wasn't overly obvious probably
I just
I don't know I'm nowhere near an expert and wasn't there or anything and don't know her or anyone else involved but
I was just gonna say it sounds like there was just
more issues going on than the whole quadrants thing
it seems like
I talked to this guy York
a bit ago
about like
dating more than one person at once
and how it can work and it can't but it takes a lot of communication
I wonder if that's how it works for quadrants too
it's that time of night I'm just going on tangents you can like
ask me something unfortunate or weird if you want
I didn't mean to get all
high and might dispensing advice or something
[stop typing ashley just stop typing]
[Text]
probably any relationship takes lots of communication
which is probably why i historically dont really
[...
Yeah, nope, too awkward.]
ok heres a question
what was the first book you read that you couldnt show your parents
[Text]
oh
um
dragonflight by anne mccaffrey
[Text]
whats that about
[Text]
it
humans on another planet with psychic bonds with dragons and
settlers living in medieval society rather than technological
and
dragons
[Text]
why
is that a problem
are your parents like staunchly anti dragon or something
[Text]
ok i was like 8 and just wanted to read something with a girl being cool and fantasy
i didn't realize
the dragons mate and their riders the humans they're
well
psychically linked and it
causes stuff to happen
like kinky gimli on legolas action kind of stuff in case that wasn't CLEAR
[Text]
OH
oh my god thats
hahahahahaha holy shit
did eight year old you even understand what was going on??
[Text]
i got curious
it's a damn curse
[Text]
i always sort of wondered where bad dragon came from culturally speaking
like what touched our collective unconscious and at what point to make people want to put rainbow naga dildos up their no no places
i guess i finally have an answer
[Text]
how is THIS the subject we landed on
why
[Text]
this is how i do
my mouth just says things and its like welp there it is thats me
[Text]
I mean no that makes sense from what you told me
- closest friends all live apart
- meteors
- The Meteor
all that
kind of just assumed MOST other people have more dating experience
(I dated one guy in high school for two weeks?? that's it)
[Text]
i didnt exactly have a chance to attend
and man the space rock pickings were SLIM let me tell you
[Text]
how many of you WERE there anyway? I've talked to you and Karkat about it but
I haven't gotten numbers

and Karkat mentioned the Mayor to me
aka your favorite person
[Text]
