when did i ever say you're his gatekeeper
you think i'm trying to be civil because i need your permission to be around him
don't be stupid

[wincon]

then you have even less reason

[pyrolyzed]

are you another one of those “i’ve never had a normal friend in my life” types

[wincon]

[ if tenko were around he would deny that vehemently... ]

what's that have to do with anything
are you trying to be friends

[pyrolyzed]

no

[ Even in text, there's the implied inflection of 'absolutely not, duh.' ]

but it's normal to try and at least be civil
to the friend of a friend
you get it?
i'm not trying to kiss your ass for permission

[wincon]

you got a funny way of doing civil

[pyrolyzed]

i'm not the one picking fights for no reason
you don't get to talk shit at my manners
why the hell would i keep trying when you seem to have some problem with me

[wincon]

do you want to be tossed a bone?
to be praised for trying?

good boy you're so brave for trying something you don't even want to do
you get 💯 on your social studies test

[pyrolyzed]

oh fuck off
you think you're being so cute and clever with this shit
when the hell did i say i want praise
you think i'd be talking about any of this if you weren't constantly being an ass at me?
don't act like i'm any worse than you
when you don't even get the concept of trying to get along with people because it's the right thing to do
"i'm not his gatekeeper" give me a break
no wonder you don't have any friends

[wincon]

do you want a straight answer?

[pyrolyzed]

[ ... oh, it's actually kind of jarring when this guy's suddenly not being a roundabout jackass. There's a notable pause before Fuuta's response pings through. ]

straight answer to what

[wincon]

the "problem" I have with you

[pyrolyzed]

fine
what is it

[wincon]

if you actually believe any of the things you say, then why don't you act like it? trying to give someone life advice? civility? that's a load of horseshit. you say whatever you want and you cover it up with excuses like "it's normal" or "you're taking it the wrong way" or "i'm just trying to help." you think someone's gonna go "wow jeez thanks"? yeah right. if you wanna be a jackass then stand by the shit you talk. then at least you'd have something going for you.

take it or leave it. it doesn't matter to me if you accept my reasons or not. that's the difference between us.

[pyrolyzed]

[ The answer, of course, is that sincerity is cringe. Being honest is the same as being vulnerable. If he acted how he really believed and then was rejected for it, it'd hurt exponentially more; better to put up walls first and act abrasively, so it doesn't sting when people inevitably give him shit for it, because he expected it in the first place.

Too bad he's too dumb and cowardly to verbalize any of that himself! ]

go fuck yourself
you don't get to decide what i do and don't believe in
you try to make it sound like you're so much better
but there's nothing admirable about being a jackass on purpose
you're not any better than me
you're just more smug about it

[wincon]

damn don't take it so personally, I'm just saying
it's normal for someone to talk back when you get all judgmental
stop overreacting
