I fuckin know, right? Listen, maybe it's different between the kind of ~*~*character*~*~ you are and the kind of ~~~*x*XcharacterX*x*~~~ I am. You've got a mun who's taken the time to transplant you from all kinds of shit, into new shit, and do it well. With me, there's no solid foundation, just a miasma of 'would have done could have done' and it's a shit-bugling ass-trumpet of a time when you can't have even that to rely on, when the shit hits the fan.

But I guess this is about muns, not brainbeasts. I digress.

Check the fuck out that by all accounts it looks like you're having a good time now and this was, what, a few days ago? If he's got downs than he's got ups, too. Remind him of that if he thinks its all downhill. It can help. I've got mine on a pretty self-sufficient roll with that bullshit, pragmatic-thinking, jury-rigging the brain-meat to self-sustain. Means maybe I get less show time, but it's ultimately worth it.

Jesus fucking Christ I've been trying to count the periods of time between hiatus and activity on my end. You don't realize how much time flies when you're in the box. Fuck me, I'm getting old. Do yourself a favour if you can: don't go in the box, don't let your mun make a box for himself. Shit slips through your fingers (and I mean that metaphorically unless you're one hell of a party pooper) and you don't get it back. Be cool, remind him to be cool to himself, no one goes in the box, it's all good. You need some backup, you've got at least one fuckwit floating around who's good for it.

((*facepaps*))

[godofturntablism]

see youve got the right idea there
muns all hells of up and down and kinda sideways too and its just
pretty fuckin weird living in his headspace with the rest of these jokers
but it does seem to be an up right now
he forced himself to get back into tagging
and it actually seemed to help
of course with me being like the only loud muse right now besides this drip of a troll
_{[insert a slightly affronted hEY, of a lonely Tavros there]}
there isnt much to be said
but dude has projects that hes working on
art trade involving fantrolls
crochets like a fuckin machine at least until his hand starts wanting to fall off
motherfucker can make a full average sized slouch hat in about four hours
so hes keeping his hands and brain busy as fuck to keep himself out of that dark place

kind of helps that he doesnt have to deal with his family for another couple of months at least
that is some noise that needs to not even be a fuckin thing

((CIRCLE SHOOSH))

[aaron_agate]

Cripes, family. Glad I make my own.

Listen, Dave-mun -- sorry for hijacking your thread but fuck that dear mun bullshit I do what I want -- past experience in addition to watching my old lady suggests that while you can't pick your family, if they're fucked up individuals, going back to them and trying to lay things straight doesn't do any good. They're always in the right after all don't you know; at that point it's not a matter of compromise or seeing eye to eye. Or if it is, it's a slow process on the scale of geological movements.

Fuck 'em. Work on the relationships in your family that are going all right, if you have any. If you just don't know, it might pay off to cultivate them. Take stock of family politics if possible, and if you know of any family members who think that the ones doing you wrong are ass hats -- and who you don't think are asshats themselves -- you might keep in touch with them on a regular basis instead. Worked for this fellow's mun and has been for a few years now. Pretty slick arrangement.

Now it's all highly individual. What works for this fucking meatbag isn't going to work for that fucking meatbag and I mean you, yes. I'm not a professional meatbag soothing machine, despite the fact that I'm both incredibly good looking and incredibly good at everything I do! You, on the other hand, sound like you've got your niche and you've got your hands full. Don't forget to, you know, do that other shit. Take deep breaths, get the fuck outside and move your legs and arms. Eat some fucking kale on a regular basis, that shit turns people into docile gloating bastards. Meatbag things. In the meantime if you've also got other friends who aren't assholes there's not a god damned thing wrong with hanging out more often and building up a safety net of cool people. In as much as brainbeasts like me are, essentially, the tits, an outside perspective can sometimes surprise you and jolt you out of your own head.

Back to you Dave.

((*dying of the warm fuzzies*))

[godofturntablism]

Speaking as mun just for the minute, I've got limitations and shit but I know what you mean and I have been trying, it's just. Slow. Slow as motherfucking molasses in the arctic. But, it is going. And things are getting better. Just...gotta be patient and cling to what I already have.

Such as kickass thread partners *winkwonk*

i dont know about you broham but i like being one of the resident brainbeasts here in this mess
makes for the meeting of the interesting people
just gotta remind the mun sometimes that theres always someone knew to meet
new stories to play with
new food to try
new patterns
new shit errywhere

((Have a dump of feels I guess!))

[aaron_agate]

((It's always slow. There's always the chance of taking two steps back. It's pretty cool when you actually get it lodged in the back of your brain that two steps doesn't mean all of the steps, though! Also, thank you for reminding me that dear mun exists; currently hamming it up to the ceiling with this douche bag against every other character who replies. I may just be a terrible human being for playing him as such but it's far too fun.))

Look at you and your pragmatic optimism.

You know, you might be an adorable dork if you took those shades off. I'd be careful if I was you.

[godofturntablism]

((Yeh I'm about there with Dave. He's probably one of the most amusing muses I've ever had except maybe for Sollux.))

pff dude are you kidding
i am fucking precious
like old ladies be pinching my cheeks off and cooing all the time about this shit

((I keep stopping myself from cackling, and then "DAW"ing. Damn you!))

[aaron_agate]

So it's the cougars that're after you, huh? Well that must be a hell of a thing. I've got the same problem, but unfortunately at my age they tend to get a wizened, brushed-crone lustre.

((Bahaha yes good.))

[godofturntablism]

cougars
young chicks
nubby shouty assholes
and at one point laserface but that was over in a hurry
and i think a samurai but that remains to be seen
just chill with me and youll see a whole lot of hormone related fuckery
and only some of it is my fault to begin with

[aaron_agate]

I'm a little old to be your wingman -- or are you hoping for a Jane Goodall-like observer to eventually write the chronicals of Dave Strider, Teen Fuck Machine?

[The last said with a snide chortle, of course. Fanfiction stream-crossing: never a good idea, even to make sport.]

[godofturntablism]

_{[Here, have a laugh for your trouble.]}

id say youd get off on that
but
dude how does your junk even function
or does it function at all
ive met some droids around actually have the works and that shit just baffles me
like how the fuck
all that juicy shit would gum up hells of bad unless you had like reservoirs and coolants and seals and shit
and even then theres a thing with nerve endings and its just a big scifi porno mess

[aaron_agate]

((Oh my christ, here we go))

[Gather round, youthful ignorants, it's sex ed time and the anonymous questions are being drawn! Quell the titters as Teach Agate enlightens you in the ways of AI romance recreational function!]

The old nightrider doesn't got it in him; I don't do slop when I'm cruising. I suppose I could mod it, kitch it out...

[Agate looks mildly put out, even disgusted by the idea]

But you're right. Fluids. You're all so terribly dirty, aren't you?

[Yes you, Dave.]

There's Old Dependable if I deigned to want to; he's a biological vat-grown project of mine, laced through the nerves. Solves problems A through Z so far as I've found, but I don't throw him around like a slut-bucket if that's what you're mouth-breathing over. That one is for times and places where I need to blend in well and truly. It's also highly illegal to tote him around or even blink at his existence where I come from.

[Agate splays his hands just a little, palms up.]

As for Nexistence, how would you fuck in a dream? Most of your type treat who I am and where I live like a consciously-chosen, shared hallucination. You could hook in with a visor and a head-set or you could submerse if you wanted a goo bath experience. For me it's a matter of being physically present. Bodies shaped like this are extensions to me what these,

[He wriggles his fingers]

are to you. Sometimes an alternate intelligence will put on a show if it's a recreational thing, a 'come down to your level' thing. Two AI's don't do so in that sense. When we fuck...

[He decides to go there. He kisses the tips of his fingers, perversely and purposefully going glassy eyed]

The world moves.

Somebody also usually dies.

[How much of this is a truth and how much is a lie? Find out next time on Agate Bullshits the Younguns Hour!]

[godofturntablism]

_{[To his credit, Dave doesn't really look all that nonplussed. He doesn't look much of anything at all. He just has an eyebrow going on.]}

so in a nutshell
humans and their biology are gross
this that ive already met is about as useful as a ken doll
you have a flesh body floating around for gross fleshy dealings
youre a consciousness without a solid form unless you choose to drop yourself in one
dude are you Q?

[aaron_agate]

Pourquoi fuckin' non?

[Dude looks more amused and pleased to be compared than offended, which is probably a bad sign.]

[godofturntablism]

_{[Dave doesn't know any better so he's pretty fuckin' amused himself.]}

well shit

[aaron_agate]

'Well shit,' he says like a motherfucking boss.

You want three wishes? I got plenty.

[He waggles his brows, opening a trenchcoat side to reveal wishes if they were watches.]

[godofturntablism]

im all good on wishes dude

_{[Still thinks that's pretty fuckin' baller though]}

((That stupid icon. So good. I wish I had icon spaces enough for that shit!))

[aaron_agate]

You're perfectly shitting me. Nobody's full up on wishes. There must be one thing your wretched human heart desires, surely?

[Ham. Floodgates sluicing open. Make what extrapolations you will.]

((I love the fuck out of the smuppet icon. I need more spaces myself tho))

[godofturntablism]

_{[It's such an inconvenient time for ham.]}

fine
get me the biggest fuckin jar of nutella they have on the market
and double that sumbitch
i intend to make a chocolate sandwich the size of my head

_{[He's...just a little bit of a chocoholic.]}

Re: ((I love the fuck out of the smuppet icon. I need more spaces myself tho))

[aaron_agate]

You don't just want a disgustingly dribbling mess of chocolate slop crushed between two enriched-wheat excuses for sliced, baked goods? Take the middle man out, not have to spend all that time stirring the pot, getting the grease lathered through before you can take that first, sweet bite?

[Well, alright. This is a fucking fourth-wall, canon-breaking piece of collaborative ~fiction~ so here it goes.

That's suddenly one big fucking bucket of nutella between them. On a table. Immaculate. One could accidentally lock one's head inside of it if one was not careful trying to lick out the bottom.]

Your marvelously inane wish has been granted, oh maestro.

[godofturntablism]

like hell im just gonna wish for the sandwich
this shit will make like fifteen sandwiches at least
i have creative sandwich freedom
you fuckin own
id share if you had innards

_{[Just excuse his flapping for a moment. This is a very happy Dave.]}

[aaron_agate]

A grande whopping total fifteen sandwiches.

How much of that horrific looking sluice do you load your sandwich up with?

You realize that a diet of pure shit is going to ruin you forever.

I predict gout.

And probably constipation.

But I'm not a doctor.

[godofturntablism]

yeah you just keep thinking that buddy
my entire childhood was comprised of mcdonalds doritos and soda
occasionally freezer pizza
striders cant fuckin cook for shit
and i said at least fifteen
maybe twenty?
i intend to double stack this shit

[aaron_agate]

[He looks bamboozled, though probably mostly due to the fact that he's aiming for it.]

How is it, exactly, that you are still alive?

[godofturntablism]

sheer fortified stubbornness and refusal to die

_{[That isn't even much of an exaggeration on his part either. He'd just flat out refused to die of anything but the oldest of old age because of Bro and his...everything.]}

[aaron_agate]

The utter badass who relies on a steady diet of chocolate, bread, and from what I understand the occasional cigarette.

Sounds legit.

You poor bastard.
