On player's desperation for a Wendy (spoilers for Weirdmageddon I probably in comments)

[krmvgivv]

Okay, when I think you're getting a little obsessed with this Wendy thing, you really should probably take a step back.

I mean, yeah, she's the coolest person ever. I'm not denying that. And sure, I'd love to hang out with her. Almost enough to make me forget that you love terrible things and nothing good ever comes from any plans you make ever. Need I bring up the zombie incident?

Just... leave Wendy out of this. We've all been through enough.

And that doesn't mean you should start looking around for my other friends! Can't I just go for sort of a cool loner vibe? I can work that, right?

I don't think you could actually pull of "cool loner" if you were actually frozen alone in a block of ice.

[krmvgivv]

Thanks, Mabel. That's so helpful.

[alpha_twin]

Oh, don't get mad, Dipper. You're a grade-A dork! Embrace it! A Dipper who's too cool for his dorkiness doesn't sound like a Dipper I wanna be related to.

[krmvgivv]

It's not the dorkiness I have a problem with, it's people I care about being dragged into bad stuff.

[alpha_twin]

Oh... Is that all?

Dipper, I've known you our whole lives. Almost 13 years, and I know that you work best with other people, someone to bounce ideas off of and tell you when to stop so you don't accidentally chew your shirt off or swallow a pen cap.

I know you're worried but.. you need someone to worry about you, too.

[bloodredridinghood]

So who is this Wendy and how old is she?

[krmvgivv]

Uh, who are you? And why do you want to know?

[bloodredridinghood]

I just wanted to make sure you're not clinging on to hopes of a girl who's older than you and out of your league giving you any sort of...special attention.

[krmvgivv]

Wow, that sounds like a whole lot of not your business.

[bloodredridinghood]

OK, but just so we're clear - you and she are close friends, right? That's good!

[He's trying not to see himself in this kid. And failing. Sigh.]

Take it from me. The thing about being a "cool loner," is that there's never anyone around to be impressed with your coolness. [...as if Alex has ever been cool.]

[krmvgivv]

I'm never actually alone. I have a twin sister. [A beat.] She's... not usually impressed with my coolness, though.

[scales_and_silence]

That's good- you'll really appreciate that when you're older. Two younger sisters myself.

[krmvgivv]

I appreciate that now. She's also my best friend.

[scales_and_silence]

That's great. I never realized how lucky I was til I was out of the house.

I mean, admittedly, my baby sister had- well, still has a thing for pit traps that made life a little difficult.

[whatamistake]

Oh wow buddy...that sounds rough, sounds like you got one of those human love complexes and you sure do got it bad.

[krmvgivv]

No... no, it's not like that! [But he's still flushing because it's not as far off as it could be.] We're just friends.

[whatamistake]

Naw champ I think you might have those....feelings, because someone doesn't obsess over and over about somebody unless they got those human love feelings, but I think you should make a circle with a shiny rock on top!
