Not mutually exclusive like you seem to think. Feel like we've talked about this more than once, y'know.

[he shrugs lightly]

[gigadevilbreaker]

So I've gotten smarter, is what you're saying?

[mind_blown]

You're still dancing around my point, so no.

You throw yourself into shit because you think you can't handle it. And you've got a nearly suicidal desire to prove yourself wrong.

Fact that you now think you could take on that shitheel means it's probably less likely you're gonna be a dumbass about it. So, that's one less problem for the "fuck you, I'll kill that thing" impulse you've got.

[Hey...]

Didn't realize I'd married a psychiatrist.

[mind_blown]

You didn't. I'm just saying.

[gigadevilbreaker]

It sounds like what a psychologist would say...

[mind_blown]

... you've been to a psychologist?

Ever?

[gigadevilbreaker]

...

You can probably guess my answer there.

[mind_blown]

So, how do you know?

I'm just calling it like I see it.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[huffs fondly]

Well. You always did know me better than I know myself.

[mind_blown]

[he sighs a little, and shakes his head with a bit of grin.]

To be fair, you're not exactly a closed book.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Don't think anyone reads it like you though.

[mind_blown]

What, y'think I got them dulcet tones or something?

[gigadevilbreaker]

Obviously yes, but I was thinkin' more along the lines of 'an english major who pulls no punches with his book report'.

[mind_blown]

[now he reaches out to punch his shoulder-- not hard, but not light either.]

That's not the only punch I won't pull.

[because honestly, the entire idea of going to college? too damn normal.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Mock protest,]

Hey! Is that any way t'treat your favourite book?

[mind_blown]

You know how you can tell what someone's favorite book is? It's the well worn one. With the coffee stains and the broke spine 'cause they keep coming back to it.

So, toughen up.

[gigadevilbreaker]

You can tell which one's the best 'cause they've been through the most shit, huh?

[THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT]

[mind_blown]

Basically.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Sounds true for a lotta things.

[mind_blown]

Nah, just a very specific set of things. And probably different between me and you.

[gigadevilbreaker]

I was tryin' to tell you I like you, doofus.

Read between the lines.

[mind_blown]

... Oh.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Cute.]

And people call me oblivious.

[mind_blown]

To be fair, you and books as an analogy...
