re: possible canon update

[cons]

Do not even think about canon updating me. That's just going to bring on a world of crap that you really don't want me dealing with on that ship. At all.

How the hell am I supposed to be able to process the whole 'near death, for real this time' experience shit without Little Rock there with me? How do you think that's going to go? Not to mention Tallahassee and Columbus. I'm at a good place right now when it comes to those two. I don't owe them anything right now. Making me remember what happens at Pacific Playland isn't going to do anything besides make me feel like complete shit and crank my paranoia and guilt back up to about a million percent.

-- Really?

And don't even try to give me the 'but you'd be learning the benefits of trust' talk, I get enough of that from Neal and John Blake, yeah? No. No, thank you.

What in the fuck are you on about?

Time travel, bossman.

Well, no.

You know that feeling when you know something bad's going to happen when you wake up one day, so you're just like "Hey, I know, I'll just never go to bed so the next day will never come", and even though you know that's bullshit, you still kinda try doing it anyway? Just to try?

That's this.

Brian doesn't humor her; there's no WOW, I KNOW THE FEELING! only a blank stare. and also, these eyebrows are not accepting your bullshit. ] You mean, do I ever torture myself pissing away the time to try and push off the inevitable?

No.

Why the fuck would you deprive yourself of sleep and by association, intelligent thought? The morning is still going to follow, unless you take a dramatic exit. Right out the window. Into zero gravity and into the arms of some questionably gendered, alien slave owner that reeks worse than the people in fur dredging around like they're going to miraculously rediscover Narnia in the locker room.

Whaaaaat a prick.

A) It was just an example, and B) your imagination is scary. Like, literally horrifying.

Hey, don't bring me into this - I don't wish bad things on people just to teach them lessons.

[cons]

No, but usually if I go "This is going to suck!" you'll probably find some reason to be like, "But look at all these morals you could learn!"

[learnedtosmile]

Because learning something from the sucky things is usually better than letting them eat you up.

From experience.

Fuck canon updates. Fuck 'em in the ear.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
