[they definitely hate sweet, so it is a good thing.]

Salt and pepper sounds good. Sounds better. [there's big nose wrinkle energy coming from under this hood. their sensibilities.]

[mukagen]

Do you like spicy, too?

[ He goes to pop the DVD in! Princess Mononoke waits for them... The cheese popcorn bucket is theirs, too. ]

[probe]

[this is very, very strange for them. hanging out with people is like, not a thing they do. at all.

but they just very cautiously sit down with the cheese popcorn and look awkwardly between gojou and the tv screen.]

[mukagen]

[ ... Pride is always so awkward, but he can't laugh. It would be too mean? Maybe? ]

How are you feeling? A lot better?

[probe]

[thanks gojou]

Back to normal. Or whatever normal is for here.

[mukagen]

At least normal for you. Head and everything.

[ Snrrk. Anyway! Movie time in the peace of silence, just munching. ]

The guy really is whipped, right?

[probe]

[skdkjf

pride looks over at him.] Don't know what that means.

[mukagen]

... I guess we're going to have a lesson here.

[ PAUSES THE FUCKING MOVIE. ]

So, when people call someone else whipped, they meant they're practically wrapped around someone's finger. Think voluntary servant. Worships the floor their object of affection walks on. Kind of like that!

[ Hmmm. Whipped is kind of old, though. Maybe some newer words will work. ]

Nowadays, kids like to use the word "simp." "Stan" is an older version of that, too. For example, in a sentence, "Mineo is a big Endorsi simp" or "Mineo simps hard for Endorsi." These work as both noun and verb.

[ why did i write this ]

[probe]

[why DID you write this]

... Simp? [they're just like ??? about all of this, but like. they understand, they guess.] Is... stan a verb and noun also?

[mukagen]

Yes. You can replace simp with stan in my examples and it’d work.

[ Knowledge for pride!!! ]

[probe]

[every time i come back to this thread i just end up closing it]

Hm. [they don't know what to do with this information.] ... Start the movie again.

[mukagen]

If you use it in front of people, they might be so surprised and shocked, maybe insulted, but there's a chance it can backfire because it's you.

[ i'm tired from trial but i am here. TO BE CLEAR. ]

Back to the movie.

[ He starts the movie again for them! They can enjoy it with their popcorn. ]

[probe]

[they seem disgruntled by this, like they're going to argue, but. gojou starts the movie again, and they fall silent, watching quietly.]

[mukagen]

[ THEY CAN ARGUE AFTER. Because the movie does end. Gojou is a pig, so he finished all his popcorn. ]

How did you like that one?

[probe]

[pride eats like a bird so they've only really finished a bit of it, but.]

... I liked that one. [big wolves are rad]

[mukagen]

The wolves are cool, right?

[ Gojou same thoughts, but also big is usually better. Also dogs are great?? ]

You don't eat much, huh.

[probe]

Mm. [pride like no dogs, only wolves]

I don't, no. Easier when there's not a lot of food to go around.

[mukagen]

[ He tilts his head. ]

You don't mind if I ask some stuff, right? Not sure if you'd be open to it or not.

[probe]

[... well, since he asked so nicely.]

Not promising an answer. [but go ahead.]

[mukagen]

[ WANTS TO JUST COME OUT AND SAY were you an orphan, was your family poor, was your country poor, but wow. After these many weeks, Gojou can reel himself. ]

What was your situation like? Not having enough food sounds terrible...

[probe]

[they pick a little at the popcorn.]

Earliest memory is fighting a dog for food. [don't just SAY that casually]

[mukagen]

Did you win?

[ Most important. ]

[probe]

[an amused sound.]

Yes.

[mukagen]

Nice.

[ why is this so fucking stupid ]

That sounds tough, though. Had no one to support you? At all?

[probe]

["nice" i'm dying hei]

I didn't really need anybody else. [they shrug.] I got conscripted into a gang at a young age if that counts.
