#We're both waiting for the other to do their own RESEARCH and get invested but it aint happening

[theangrycomet]

Sibling and I have agreed that we need a device where we can transfer the important information directly into eachother's brains bc trying to explain the context behind our fandom memes to eachother is becoming a nightmare

[tobiasdrake]

That was sweet. Now back to the much more dismal present.

We're back to the burning question: Stabilized homunculus who's cracked the secret of curing ferals? Ghost coming to comfort Yakou in his low comprehension? Or the hallucination of a memory Yakou will never let go of?

That's a heartening thing to say. Did you crack the secret of stabilizing the defective homunculi?

There is a cure. We're probably going to use up the entire sample on Yakou as a bittersweet moment, like her greatest research was to give him a second chance at life.

But even if that's the case, the fact that she managed to do it means it can be done. Much like Real Yuma's ramen shop, it shows the value of crowdsourcing the homunculi's problems outside of just Makoto.

If stabilizing homunculi is possible, then even if Yakou uses the entire sample, it means someone else might crack this code again. It's proof-of-concept that the code can be cracked.

I am so happy right now. We can cure Yakou. We can cure the Theater Girls. We can cure Shachi. And the Priest. We can shove Huesca in a pit. We can cure Tetra's dad!

I mean, after it's reinvented, of course. I'm sure there's only going to be enough in that thing for Yakou.

Yep. One pill. Which is just kicking the can down the road; Yakou will be fine until his next death and then he's right back in this situation.

But it's proof of concept. First thing he should do as soon as he regains his mental faculties is go straight to Makoto and tell him it can be done. We need to restart homunculus research, and pore over his wife's notes extensively. Maybe take samples of Yakou's blood for testing.

T_T This is such a sweet conclusion, both for Yakou's journey and for the story as a whole.

And there she goes confusing me again. I do not know what you mean by that. Is she saying to go dig up her corpse if he can't un-feral?

It's not like he can die and join her in the afterlife. She's already got a Yakou with her in the afterlife. This one's trapped here forever.

All the same, this is such a great ending. Emotionally powerful and satisfyingly interesting all at once.

"Hard man seeks revenge because his woman was fridged" is a character archetype I generally loathe. But it works so well for Yakou. Partly because it's not what solely defines his character; There are plenty of other facets to him as well. Like most of Kodaka's characters, he's a complicated guy.

But also because of the leg-work that this DLC did to make his wife out as more than just a nice lady who died so we can be mad about it. I've seen more than a few attempts at trying to convince the audience to be emotionally invested in the dead spouse but this is the first one that's ever worked for me.

I think it's because most of the time, the dead wife winds up characterized like this saintly figure who was perfect and demure and wifely in all the "right ways", such that she never feels like her own character and comes off more like the emotional crowbar that she is. But Kodaka sat down at his computer and just hammered out a concise tale about two people who enjoy each other's company and find they have some shared interests.

With characters like these, it often winds up feeling like they were just spinning their wheels living Insert Idyllic Life and waiting for the story to start. Things won't get interesting until she dies. Sorry, but her life is the price of admission for this cool story, I guess.

But with Yakou and his wife, it's like. No. No, this was the story. A whirlwind romance besieged by assassins and gene research, that was the story of their life. The Yakou we meet when we step off that train is a broken man because, for him, the story catastrophically ended. For him, there is nothing left to tell.

...if only she had a fucking name. Come on, Kodaka! Really!? I'm shilling this love story you wrote so hard and it's between Yakou and... Amaterasu Researcher. God fucking dammit, even when you're on the ball, I want to shake you violently for the choices you make.

[practically-an-x-man]

For the fanfic asks: 1, 5, 9, 13, 14, 26, 42, 48, 50

ooh yay! so many fun ones to answer! putting it under the cut because it got kind of long. Thank you for the ask!!

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Hmm, I feel like Catch and Release and Who Waits Forever Anyway? are probably my most well-written fics right now, but honestly I'd be satisfied for people reading any of them because I'm always looking for more interaction on my fics.

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]? Answer it now!

Honestly, I just want any questions on Who Waits Forever Anyway? because I have done SO much research on that one to make sure the Ancient Egyptian mythology and culture are all accurate. I would just love for people to notice the details about the gods and mythology and everything because I put a lot of work into it

9. How do you find new fic to read?

I usually select whichever pairing I want to read on AO3, filter out explicit works because I don't really read those, and scroll through until I find something interesting. I also bookmark a fair amount of in-progress fics so I can continue reading them

13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don’t anymore?

Hmm... I think I used to be more into soulmate tropes, but now I've grown to dislike that you'd be tied to some stranger and it's like "that's what you get, better like it". Now I'm much more into the "we found each other" sort of tropes, where the point is that they're NOT soulmates, just two people who happen to fall in love.

14. Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer?

Honestly, I really like dark fairy tale retellings, but if they're not written well then it can get cheesy really fast. I wouldn't say I'd "only" read it if written by a trusted friend/familiar writer, but I'd definitely enjoy it more when I know someone's a good writer.

26. Would you rather write a fic that had no dialogue or one that was only dialogue?

Hmm... no dialogue. I feel like there's a lot of ways to work around that, and only dialogue gets annoyingly exposition-y really fast. Plus, I love being able to imagine things when I read, so I'd need the prose descriptions more than I need dialogue.

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

I mean, any of @can-of-pringles analytical comments on my fics are the absolute best, and I used to have a few other readers who left long analyses on my chapters as well. It always helps me look at my own writing in a new light and genuinely improves the way I write!

48. What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?

Coming Back to Life by @theonetryingtolive, and I recommend it a thousand times over! Right now we're only three chapters in but I'm already super invested in the plot and character dynamics!

50. Answer any question of your choice, or talk about anything you want to talk about!

Um. I guess just read my new fics? Heartstrings takes place in AHS Coven and involves a genderfluid main character, and Desert Song features a trans woman as the main character in the 6 Underground universe. Both of them will have plenty of fluff, plenty of action, and a lot of references to great music because that's how I roll!

I was tagged by the lovely @severegrayeyes who I think can read minds because I was literally just thinking about these tag games a few days ago... Anywho, sorry I took forever to actually get around to doing this but I have been literally drowning in homework, research for a history project and all that other fabulous school stuff, but, I don't want to bore ye with the details so I'll just get right into it:

Favourite colours: Okay, so, this actually changes daily, I think with my mood, I'm an actual chameleon confirmed, and today I think I'm feeling pale pinks and blues

My top 3 favourite ships: Just three?? From my list of about a bazillion?? How unbelievably cruel!! Welp, if I must... here goes:

Wanda and Vision from the Marvel franchise

I mean, just reading my URL will tell you that these two babies are my OTP for life and the reason that I breath!! I CANNOT STRESS HOW MUCH I ABSOLUTELY ADORE AND WORSHIP THESE PRECIOUS BABIES!! Like, they are just so cute and pure and deserve the entire universe. They are responsible for bringing me into the crazy yet wonderful world of Tumblr and for helping me meet other people on here who are just as invested in their relationship as I am!! And now that they are getting their own TV series - something in could have only dreamed of this time last year - I will have even more content to fangirl over!! Yay!!

Magnus and Alec from Shadowhunters

Honestly, I can't even put into words how much I love this ship. Firstly, they were actually the first people I ever read about and thought "hmm, I really like this couple, I wonder if there is more content online about them" which then sucked me into the spectacular black hole that is fanart, fanfiction and fangirling. It also helped me to become super close to two of my bestest friends at school. It all started when two of us found out we both shipped Malec, then we got our other friend into it, and have since started a fangirling trio called the Parabatrai!! So when they made the Shadowhunters TV series, well, that was it really. Hooked. For. Life. I really do just adore Malec.

Dylan and Andy from Instinct

Good lord, these two nerds are so CUTE!! They are actually relationship goals; they would to anything for each other, they never properly fight, but when they do, are extremely understanding towards one another, they just want the other to follow their dreams and be happy, and when I watch them, they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I can't wait for the next season to come out this summer because they are hoping to adopt and I'm gonna cry SO FREAKING MUCH!!

Lipstick or chapstick: Ummmmm... both :P

Last song: Lost in Japan by Shawn Mendes (I'm actually seeing him today week!! AHHHHH!!)

Last movie: Brooklyn. We're watching it in English as part of our comparison of studied texts for my Leaving Certificate, blah dee blah dee blah (school stuff, blurgh). It's actually pretty good though, I enjoyed it

Currently reading: I am actually re-reading ACOMAF (A Court of Mist and Fury) by Sarah J Maas which I love dearly and have already read three times before this hahaha I'm not obsessed...

And yeah, we're done!! Thanks for the tag and I hope I get tagged in a bunch more because, I don't know if I've mentioned this before but... I love doing these!!

Now for my 9 victims nominees...

i really like when you do the science! I can just imagine your OC Sasha being in the Avengers tower and thinking out loud while working. Tony just nodding along at his crazy girl, but then Sam or Steve coming in and getting sucked into her convincing logic on Bucky's leather jackets or hairstyles. So now they're all invested in this research process and analyze Bucky whenever he walks in. He's always confused & Sasha's like don't worry we're just admiring you go with it & so he does :)

Dude, don’t encourage me! 😂 I cannot tell you how happy it makes me that someone other than @marvel-lucy enjoys the science! 😊🤣 Once you put this in my brain I couldn’t stop myself. I hope you like it.

“I call it the ‘James Barnes StrokabilityIndex’.” With those words, Sasha set in motion something that quickly grewbeyond her. What started as a throw-away joke quickly turned into somethingwith a life of its own.

It all started, as these things often did,with Sasha’s unruly brain when she was in the zone. For weeks she’d beenamusing herself with trying to create a unified theory as to what exactly madeBucky more soft and cuddly. Or, as she had come to think of it, more strokable.

What started simple soon became ridiculouslycomplex the more she overthought it. How did clothing affect strokability? Wasleather better than velvet? What about suits versus sweaters? The ephemeraldifferences between different lengths of stubble haunted her. The minutechanges along the spectrum from smooth sharp to fuzzy floof preyed upon hermind.

Maybe if she was any good at the kind of mathand science she needed for the Strokability Index, she could actually getsomewhere.

Everything changed the day Steve came to thelab to talk to Tony and he overheard Sasha muttering to herself about hairlength. Tony had been listening in on Sasha’s unintentionally outer monologueand cracking up for weeks. Privately he thought her math and methods wereclearly flawed and he desperately wanted to offer to help but he couldn’tfigure out how without being more weird than even he was comfortable with. HisCrazy Girl was family. He’d accepted that she and Bucky were together but hepreferred not to think about it.

"I mean, to do it right we'd have totake him all the way down to a buzzcut. Then, I'd take weekly measurements ofboth length, softness, and overall strokability. Once it had grown out to thepoint it is now, I'll have a perfect data set."

Steve, utterly baffled, looked to Tony, whowas no help. He simply pressed his lips together to hold back the snickers andindicated Steve keep listening.

"I can't ask him to cut his hair,though. He likes making me happy too much; he might actually do it. If onlythere was a way to know how soft his hair was short, I could at leastextrapolate from there."

To Tony's complete astonishment, Steve pipedup. "Hey, Sash!"

"The fuck are you doing?" Tonyhissed.

Steve ignored Tony to continue, "Youknow how long his hair was with the Howling Commandoes? When it was maybe aninch longer than that? That's when it was softest."

Sasha blinked once, slowly, before her facespread in a laughing smile. She spent the next several minutes laying out herhypothesis that strokability could be defined and measured. Her ultimate goalwas to define Bucky’s maximum strokability, defined as Overall Strokability Ten,using the strokability Index she was hoping to develop.

When she was done, both Steve and Tony wereon board. Steve joined in by providing data while Tony threw himself into themath of it all. Nat joined the debate next, followed in quick succession by Samand Clint. Before a full week had passed, the whole team was in on it andbattle lines were being drawn over the variables in play.

Less than two weeks after Steve and Tonyjoined the research team, Sasha was sitting next to Sam at the counter in thekitchen watching Natasha cook while she waited for Bucky. They were escapingfor the evening to go out to dinner and pretend they were normal people forawhile.

When Bucky walked into the kitchen, Natashascoffed. “Sweater and a suit? How the hell do we classify this?”

Bucky looked down at his gray windowpane suitwith a scowl, “You’re the one that made me buy this!” he exclaimed bitterly.

“I never told you to pair it with a sweaterinstead of a shirt and tie,” she sneered.

Sasha looked on with a mixture of chagrin andamusement at what she’d started as Bucky shot back, “The tie was fuckingchoking me.”

“Ignore her, dude,” Sam chimed in. “You’relooking good. OS eight at least.”

“Please,” Nat sneered. “OS six at best.”

“You’re just obsessed with leather,” Samprotested.

Bucky would be demanding explanations butSasha was running her hands over his shoulders and chest and smilingappreciatively. “I think you look delicious. Are you ready to go, my love?”

As they walked out of the room, Sasha tossedover her shoulder, “Sam’s right. OS nine.”

text: raquel ⇄ charlie

Raquel: so I have good news and bad news so which do you want to hear first?

Charlie: i would tell you to tell me the bad ones first so the good ones sound even better, but i'll let you choose

Charlie: is everything okay?

Raquel: Oh, I'm okay. Everything is okay.

Raquel: and I probably should have just said I have news. And I sort of have to give you the good news to explain the bad news.

Raquel: So the good news is that I talked to my agent and he wants me to get more exposure and with a bunch of random events coming up they want me to go to them and schmooze up people and just get my face out there more.

Raquel: bad news: you might just have to put on a monkey suit and come with me to events.

Raquel: I mean if you want to go at all.

Charlie: oh, that sounds really good. it'll do you good, considering that, from what i know about that business, is that you need to get your face out there to succeed.

Charlie: i see a couple of problems with that: 1) i've never worn a suit so i know nothing about suits, 2) i don't own any and 3) i'm not swimming in money to buy one.

Raquel: yeah that's sort of what they said. They said that they feel like they can market me and that they can get more buzz around me if more people know what i look like and if I'm able to do more print and commercial ads which I'm okay with. Just looks like I might have to dip back into my "modeling" contacts and maybe even do more music video like things.

Raquel: 1. I've never worn a suit either so we're in the same boat there but there are people who know about them and I'm sure we won't have a problem trying to find one 2 and 3. Your girlfriend has money. Your girlfriend wants this because there is no one else she wants near her at these events so that's not something you have to worry about.

Charlie: that may be a good idea. the more face exposure and contacts you have, the better.

Charlie: you know how i feel about letting you pay for my things, but if that's what you want, i'll let you pay for the most expensive suit we find. i can't afford one right now so i'll let you buy me one.

Charlie: but i don't have to look like a fucking penguin, right?

Raquel: This could work for the both of us somehow. Maybe this can get you exposure too. Like later on once the bar is open.

Raquel: I know how you feel about it and I don't want to step on your toes but you should know that there shouldn't ever be a time where you need to worry about money. Besides suits are investments. No you don't have to look like a penguin.

Raquel: Besides I think a blue suit would look perfect on you.

Charlie: yeah, that'd be helpful.

Charlie: okay, it seems i haven't gotten used to it already. i will try to not worry about money ever.

Charlie: how are suits investments exactly?

Charlie: thank fucking you bc i don't want to look like a fucking penguin. i mean, i'd look hot with a suit but that's not my style at all.

Charlie: we'll see about it, i have to try them on when we go shopping. no tie or anything like that?

Raquel: and I promise that I'm never going to like shove money in your face and it's not like I'm suddenly becoming your sugar mama or something.

Raquel: Suits are an investment because they're a gentleman's armor. And yes I did take that from a movie but they're an investment because you can use them more than once AND they just make any guy look really sexy. They're sort of a necessity now.

Raquel: I'm only saying no tie because then I'll just keep thinking about how much better it would look around my wrists tying me to the headboard. or about how you can use it as a blindfold.

Raquel: and it would just distract me throughout the night. I'd just keep pulling you in for a kiss with it so really i'm just saving you the trouble.

Charlie: if you say so, then i'll take your word and i'll keep a couple of suits on my wardrobe, just in case i need them. plus, we both agree i'd be hot as fuck in a suit.

Charlie: i shouldn't be surprised that you're having such kinky thoughts because a simple tie would distract you all the time.

Charlie: i wouldn't mind you pulling me in with it and kissing me, but i guess we have to keep the pda to a minimum, right?

Raquel: I do say so and it'll just be good for you to have. There might be a lot more events later on once my career does pick up and there's no one else I want by my side. I think you look hot in everything and nothing so i'm pretty biased.

Raquel: what can i say? I've had someone corrupt me and it's not like I'm going back now.

Raquel: I can always use the ends of your jacket for that. I don't think we'll have to keep too much of it down. They haven't said anything about marketing and sex appeal and all the typical stuff so it's not like they want me to seem single.

Raquel: I don't think I could do that anyway. Denying that I'm with you would be denying my happiness and denying how important you are to me and I'm not going to do that.

Raquel: Ever.

Charlie: we'll, i'll keep a couple of them then, mostly because i'd look hot in them. you're not so bad yourself, with and without clothes

Charlie: mmm, i wonder who corrupted you. now i'm tempted to buy some and see what can we do with them

Charlie: babe, if you ever have to make it look like you're single for a while if that makes you look better in hollywood's eyes, you know i'd support you because i want you to succeed and make it.

Charlie: it wouldn't be the ideal and i wouldn't be happy about it either but

Charlie: let's hope we don't have to do that

Raquel: well with the whole clothes thing you should expect a lot more dresses. I know sometimes we just get dresses and suits on loan so that will hopefully keep our closet from exploding.

Raquel: I wonder who did. He must be a really cheeky and incredibly handsome person. Tempted to just buy ties so that you can use them on me? I might like that. A lot.

Raquel: No.

Raquel: I don't want to be the type of actress that is marketed like that. I am with you and I don't need to deny that not when I know how talented I am and how hard I have worked. I can have sex appeal and that attraction and still tell people that there is someone important in my life. I don't want you to become like one of those hollywood partners that gets bothered because of my job but you aren't just going to be someone they can erase. I won't let that happen.

Charlie: our closets. we don't share one, babe

Charlie: yes. i might do a research on what to do with ties in the bedroom department

Charlie: how the fuck did i get so lucky to be dating you?

Raquel: right. We don't.

Raquel: only if I get to tie you up too.

Raquel: I don't think you're that lucky. Maybe I just think you deserve more than you think you do.

Charlie: i don't see why not.

Charlie: sometimes i think i don't deserve you, or at least i didn't deserve you a while ago. still, i think i'm lucky

Raquel: you don't see why we don't share a closet now???? Because we both have our own places which is us respecting each other's spaces and knowing that sometimes we might want to be alone and because my stuff would totally cross over to your side so it's really all just for the sake of my clothes that we don't.

Raquel: Wait you meant don't see why I wouldn't be able to tie you up with a tie. Right.

Raquel: well that just means I get to ride you. Take control. That you can't even smack my ass or hold onto me like I know you love to. It means you just have to lie there and let me take care of you until you cum inside me.

Raquel: baby you deserve the world.

Charlie: ... you okay?

Charlie: damn, i love touching your ass while you ride me, but the idea of you on top of me while i do nothing... fuck. now we're getting ties for sure

Charlie: so do you, babe. but that's how i feel, sometimes i think of who i was in the past and i surely didn't deserve you then.

Charlie: that means i did something well

Raquel: so that's all it took? The thought of me riding you to be convinced? Maybe I should just find things to tie you with and have my way with you tonight.

Raquel: who you were in the past wasn't some awful person. You just weren't sure of what you wanted and that's fine. And even if you think you didn't deserve me then you still had me. You always did.

Raquel: you're not the only one who did something right. You are so much more than I could have dreamed of. Someone who loves me as much as you do makes me the luckiest person in the world.

Charlie: i was already convinced when i imagined your wrists tied together and me fucking you hard, but that is also a very convincing argument

Charlie: let's see what you have, i'm sure you'll find something

Charlie: i wasn't a bad person, but i was pretty much a fuckboy who got around a lot and i'm sure that you didn't want a fuckboy around you

Charlie: when did we become so cheesy?

Raquel: add a blindfold to that and I'm totally in.

Raquel: either I find something or looks like I'll have to run into some department store and get what I want.

Raquel: you did sleep around a lot and maybe I didn't like that and it's why I tried fighting off how much I liked you but we would have still been friends and I would have had you around then.

Raquel: you'll always been this cheesy so I don't know what you're talking about lol.

Charlie: i'm thinking of something we could do and i really want to do it

Charlie: you're a resourceful woman, but i hope you read something about bondage, what to use and what not

Charlie: i guess you're right.

Charlie: i'm pretty sure i wasn't cheesy before dating you and you were already cheesy back then

Raquel: well you can't just tell me you want to try something and then not tell me. Spill.

Raquel: don't worry. I won't try anything crazy and I definitely would never hurt you.

Raquel: i just think I'm glad that we didn't just stay friends.

Raquel: lies. i don't accept that.

Charlie: i'm thinking of getting you naked, blindfold you and then have my fun with an ice cube. i think you'll even thank me for it

Charlie: that's good to know, thank you for not hurting me while we do kinky shit in the future

Charlie: me too. things wouldn't be as great as they are for us now

Charlie: you're the lying one, i wasn't cheesy. i had a way with words to flirt with girls but i wasn't cheesy

Raquel: don't I always thank you? Or at least reciporicate.

Raquel: well I doubt we need to go as far as you know making a safe word or something but I think I know when I'm pleasing my man.

Raquel: so you'd go through it all over again? The ups and the downs? Everything?

Raquel: you can be a flirt and still be cheesy, but maybe you're right we have gotten overly affectionate. Maybe we're just in our "honeymoon" phase.

Charlie: you do in the best way possible and i fucking love it

Charlie: yeah, it's not like we're doing hardcore BDSM and i'd tell you if it was too much anyways, but yeah.

Charlie: well, we've been through too much and there's a long way ahead of us, but yeah, i would.

Charlie: see? i told you i wasn't cheesy before you. you made me a bit cheesy

Raquel: now I'm curious to know which it "the best way possible"

Raquel: yeah we just have a really healthy and active sex life. We're just like light bdsm. I just trust you enough to tie me up and fuck me until you cum inside me.

Raquel: long way ahead of us? Are you planning hurdles for us?

Raquel: you're the nacho chip underneath the really cheesy nacho. You got second hand cheese.

Charlie: with more sex, of course

Charlie: a very active sex life, i may add.

Charlie: no, i meant that if we're dating, something has to happen, right? especially if this is meant to be a long-term relationship

Charlie: okay, we went from being cheesy to talk about nachos in a minute, wtf

Raquel: of course how could I have thought it could be anything else.

Raquel: well we're both young and consenting and incredibly hot. I don't think anyone would be surprised to know just how healthy our sex life is.

Raquel: I guess, but I think things are pretty great right now and that maybe we shouldn't rock the boat for a bit with any progression. This is meant to be long term. There's no giving up on this.

Raquel: I like to keep you on your toes baby, and we said I was the nacho cheesy one before so really this should come to no surprise.

Charlie: neighbors are more than aware of that. they probably hate how loud we are but i don't care

Charlie: yeah, we're in a good place and hopefully things will stay like that for a while.

Charlie: i'm not surprised and i'm hungry now. i want nachos

Raquel: well good because it's not like I'm your neighbor's biggest fan either.

Raquel: I just have to keep telling myself to.not screw it up

Raquel: do you want me to pick some up on my way home?

Charlie: i know, and as the person who lives at the other side of the wall, she fucking knows how loud we are

Charlie: hopefully none of us will. i don't want to screw it up either

Charlie: Mexican?

Raquel: I don't even want to talk about her. It's like saying beetlejuice. If I mention her again chances are I'll run into her later today.

Raquel: can we just promise that we won't walk on eggshells around each other? Besides, your track record in this relationship isn't as bad as mine so odds aren't in my favor.

Raquel: well I definitely don't just want chips with cheese and I went to the gym so I am just going to have some of yours.

Charlie: okay, let's not talk about her. but i doubt you run into her because you mentioned her, babe

Charlie: maybe, but that doesn't mean i could still screw it, who knows? but yeah, i can promise that

Charlie: and will i have to watch you not eat properly and get all the energy for possible fun afterwards? not in my house.

Raquel: well it's either because I mention her or because life is teaching me patience and tolerance the hard way.

Raquel: There aren't too many things that can really make you mess up so bad for me not to forgive you.

Raquel: I will have energy. You can't just make up rules now.

Charlie: well, if it happens remember i'm dating you and try to not punch her

Charlie: yeah, but still. let's hope i don't do any of them

Charlie: my house, my rules. no kale for dinner. please?

Raquel: violence doesnt solve anything. I don't even think I know how to punch someone.

Raquel: I'd like to think you have self-control and know that any of the things I'm thinking of would hurt me and us more than anything.

Raquel: I need to see a copy of these rules before I agree to the terms and conditions. NOT ALL OF MY SALADS ARE KALE.

Charlie: i didn't peg you as someone who could punch someone anyways.

Charlie: i have. i like to think i can control myself

Charlie: do you want me to write them so you can see and then sign them?

Charlie: okay, bring your salad but you're eating mex with me.

Raquel: You make me sound like a chihuahua that's all bark and no bite and even then my bark must not be that scary

Raquel: yep I want to see them and I won't just click a box like I do on every other terms and conditions thing.

Raquel: just a few chips but not a bunch. I'm not losing all the work I put in at the gym.

Charlie: you're prettier than a chihuahua, babe

Charlie: we can redact them together later and make copies.

Charlie: that's enough for me. i just really want you to eat something that isn't green for once and look happy while eating it

Raquel: well I hope I am. Otherwise I really wouldn't know what you're doing with me.

Raquel: shouldn't you be doing that on your own? It is your apartment.

Raquel: I never said I don't like my salads. But I think you worrying about my eating habits is cute.

Charlie: i would be with you if you were like a chihuahua, but it doesn't hurt that you're prettier and hotter than one

Charlie: we can always make a contract on foods whenever we're at the other's place... sort of.

Charlie: i don't want you to think you need to control what you eat around me. i don't think it'll do you harm either if it's not in excess.

Raquel: chihuahuas are annoying on top of not being cute. Whatever Paris hilton sees in them I don't. Also that was a little cheesy. you pretty much just admitted that you'd be with me no matter what I looked like.

Raquel: sort of?

Raquel: Babe, I don't think that. I just have liked how my body has changed and I never thought that I need to control my eating habits around you or anyone. Is that what you think Nathan did???

Charlie: that was what i was trying to say. you're welcome

Charlie: a sort of contract, i mean

Charlie: i wasn't thinking about your ex at all until now

Raquel: well that doesn't go the same for you. I am vain like that.

Raquel: I'm kidding. I don't think there's any way I could not be with you.

Raquel: okay we can do that.

Raquel: okay.

Charlie: awww, that's cheesy too.

Charlie: let's say you can't bring here anything that includes kale and then i can't eat something at your place, for example.

Charlie: okay what? he wasn't doing that, right?

Raquel: still don't regret it.

Raquel: so you'r just going to outright ban my kale? What if I just get a smoothie and it happens to have kale in it?

Raquel: No. Do you think I would be with someone like that? Nathan was a good guy.

Charlie: i know you don't

Charlie: in that case you can, since it's in a drink

Charlie: no, i don't think so. if someone made you do that they're idiots

Raquel: okay so what are my kale's requirements? It seems like you have a deep rooted vendetta against it.

Raquel: I wouldn't just do something just because the person I was dating asked me to.

Charlie: not a vendetta, but i don't really like it. we'll talk about it while redacting this

Charlie: good, because i would punch that person if they made you do that. i don't really want you to do or stop doing something just because someone tells you to do it

Raquel: still sounds like a vendetta. What did my kale ever do to you?

Raquel: you'd punch that person? And that wouldn't solve much. Punching someone is never the answer.

Charlie: i don't know, but i don't like it.

Charlie: i mean, i could but i wouldn't really do it, i would... just think about punching them.

Raquel: okay I won't have you eat anything you don't want to but I just think it's funny how you're against the one thing I eat a lot of now.

Raquel: my big strong man. I think it's cute when you get a bit protective.

Charlie: now i feel bad for banning kale at my place

Charlie: well, i know my girl can take care of herself, but i can't help it, babe

Raquel: well don't feel too bad. I won't miss it that much.

Raquel: as sexy as it is that you want to protect me, you're right that I can protect myself even if I don't know how to throw a punch. Besides I would never want to put you in a situation where you could ever get hurt.

Charlie: right now, i'm trying to imagine how would it be if you knew how to throw a punch

Charlie: awwww, babe.

Charlie: what if we took boxing lessons together? just to teach you how to throw a punch

Raquel: Boxing lessons????

Raquel: I don't know. I just wouldn't know why I would need to throw a punch.

Raquel: but are you sure you can keep up with me in the gym in general? And don't give me the whole I work out too thing because I think i still work out more than you do.

Charlie: i don't know, i think it's always good to know how to throw one, just in case

Charlie: babe, please. of course i can keep up with you, and i think i work out as much as you do, only that i don't do it at a gym.

Raquel: just in case Im attacked or something??? I'm always in well lit areas, I hardly travel alone at night, I have a boyfriend with the muscles of a greek statue, and I like to think I don't need to prepare for something I doubt is going to happen to me.

Raquel: that's a whole lot of talk, I want to see action.

Charlie: okay okay. i wouldn't go to the greek statue level, but i'm flattered you think that

Charlie: is that a yes to boxing lessons or are you just challenging me?

Raquel: I said what I said. I'm not taking it back.

Raquel: oh I am totally challenging you and maybe to boxing lessons.

Charlie: oh no, don't take it back. i like your confidence and i liked what you said about me, so don't do it

Charlie: bring it on, babe. let's see who can keep up with who.

Raquel: well good because I wasn't going to

Raquel: challenge accepted. Let's see if I can test your endurance even more than I already do.

Charlie: i have stamina, so it'll be easy. i can last, and i'm not only talking about sex

Raquel: Of course you aren't. I don't doubt you in the bedroom but in the gym is where I'm going to have you beat.

Charlie: oh really? do you want to make things more interesting?

Raquel: yes really. Let's make things interesting then. What are you willing to wager?

Charlie: except money and my apartment, i'm willing to bet anything, included anything sex related

Raquel: I don't want your money or your apartment. I have my own thank you. Okay if I win you have to take me out on the cheesiest and slightly romantic date that could end in sex if you're lucky. And if you win which is highly unlikely you can get whatever you want.

Charlie: the cheesiest date ever. fuck, that's tough for me.

Charlie: whatever i want? does that include trying out a new sex position?

Charlie: i'll do my best to not lose the bet then

Raquel: you can always try a new position. You're not making for a very interesting wager. You're so going to lose.

Charlie: i could always come up with something more interesting, like

Charlie: eat a whole pizza with me or something. i'll probably come up with something better once you lose.

Raquel: ULTERIOR MOTIVE TO MAKE ME GAIN WEIGHT. THIS IS SABOTAGE.

Charlie: I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING NON-SEX OR FOOD RELATED

Charlie: just because i love you and i don't want to be that mean

Raquel: OKAY.

Raquel: I love you too.

Charlie: okay, bring your cute ass over here and bring mexican for dinner.

Charlie: i love you

Raquel: so demanding. I'll be right there. 😘😘😘😘
