You have to stare at this reply for awhile. There are certain trends to expect conversations - at least your conversations - to follow. And this one had seemed to be riding the rails of 'increasing hostilities leading to inevitable bitter rivalry', with perhaps a brief stop at 'her friends yelling at you for being a jerk' station. (Which isn't to say you necessarily wanted to go there, so much as there are some behaviors which pull you down as inevitably as gravity.)

Now Avispa has completely jumped the rails, and you aren't at all sure how to handle this. You feel a bit like a bomb that's just been defused, complete with the feeling of "okay, NOW what do I do with myself?"


its not like i go out of my way to try and schoolfeed you
it usually comes up without warning when im talking to you about completely random shit
and then suddenly youre not getting something and i haVe to explain
like
what am i supposed to do otherwise
do the hipster thing and go 'neVer mind you wouldnt understand' and then dumb it down for you
cause that is completely inconsistent with the type of douchebag i am

and yeah i get what youre saying
and yeah its not like i blame you for not being automatically good at eVerything
eVen if im not sure how you missed learning about the stuff you dont know
but just cause youre bad at something or you dont understand it doesnt mean you shouldnt try to get good at it or learn it
i mean the less stuff we dont know the better off we are


You honestly cannot recall anyone ever telling you to smile before. It feels...strange. You don't do it, of course, but it's weird to think that someone wants you to.

And then Avispa uses a metaphor, and you actually almost do by accident.


if i didnt know better aVispa
id think you were humoring me
