text @vegemight open // cw: discussion of violence

[magnitudes]

so I saw that there’s some weekly combat classes, that’s good and that
but I’m after something more cathartic and less educational

anyone down for some bareknuckle brawling?
no magic or powers or whatever wild shit you got, just ourselves

no one under 21 but
if you can’t legally buy a drink in some wild NYC bar crawl then we aren’t fighting

This, here, is you trying to find a way a relax?

[magnitudes]

don’t shame me

[webshoots]

I'm questioning you.

It's a very different feeling.

[magnitudes]

must be my inherent shame coming through

anyway sure relaxation
or those satisfying pain feelings from poking bruised
same same

[webshoots]

I mostly just call that 'pain'.
We're not really friends.

So is this a thing or is this a 'I have pent up feelings of frustration and hitting someone real hard sounds like a good way to deal with that'?
Because after that bony hug in the lake you had, I'm beginning to get the feeling you're a glutton for punishment.

[magnitudes]

I’m hurt, bereft, devastated

ah, well
I’m a glutton for all things
so why not punishment?

[webshoots]

Are you trying to say you, yourself, are pain? Because I absolutely meant that pain and I are not friends. (The only pain I like is the kind that comes au chocolat.)

Although I am a little hurt at how savagely sarcastic that managed to sound even in text.

I can think of a few reasons, mostly starting and ending with 'it's unpleasant'.

[magnitudes]

I thought that you were saying we aren’t friends
and I was coping with that pain the best way I could, based on our long term well established bromance
but have I ruined it all, now? Will we ever recover?

and yeah true but
what if I want to be a dramatic bastard?

[webshoots]

Don't worry, if Ben Affleck and Matt Damon can survive the knowledge that Ben starred in Jersey Girl, we can get through this. We just need a cute portmanteau to re-establish the bond.

Then I have good news: you're succeeding.

[magnitudes]

perfect, we can make it work

and I hadn't even gotten to arranging a fog machine yet
this is perfect

[webshoots]

You've really put a lot of thought into this.

[magnitudes]

I mean I'm full of shit most of the time, so I have to put thought into SOMETHING

( no never absolutely not )
