IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT, BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY WHEN IT DID.

[ihateyouetc]

HA HA HA!
OH MAN, LOOK AT THESE SPACES BETWEEN EVERY "HA" PRECISELY PUNCTUATING THE IMPRUDENT INDIVIDUALITY INTENDED BEHIND EACH OF THE TWO LETTER EXPRESSIONS COMPOSING THE MIRTHFUL ONOMATOPOEIA I JUST WROTE.
EXCEPT THE "HA" ENDING IN A SHOUT POLE.
THAT ONE TYPICALLY DENOTES "YELLING" OR IT CAN BE AN EXCLAMATION OF "EXCITEMENT" AND "MERRIMENT."
WHICH ISN'T ACTUALLY WHAT I'M DOING AT THE MOMENT.
I'M SAYING HA HA, VERY FUCKING FUNNY IN THE WAY THAT CONVEYS "HA HA, FUCK YOU."
WHO RIGGED THIS.
I WILL FUCKING FIND YOU.
I'M NOT "ACCEPTING" SHIT AT THIS MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A GATHERING WHERE HUMANS USUALLY EXHIBIT A DISTINCT LACK OF TALENT IN THE ART OF "DANCING" WHILE AWKWARDLY FUMBLING AROUND EACH OTHER WITH WHAT I ASSUME IS THE INTENT OF EVOLVING ENOUGH NERVE TO PUT THEIR MOUTHS ON EACH OTHER BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER.
IT'S BAD ENOUGH I ACTUALLY AGREED TO GO.

Why wouldn't you want to? Popularity matters. It means people like you! That's a good thing.

[ihateyouetc]

DON'T CARE.

[thneed]

Oh. Huh. I thought everyone cared about that.

[ihateyouetc]

DON'T GET ME WRONG.
IT'S NOT LIKE I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STUFF MY FRIENDS THINK TO AN EXTENT BUT THAT'S ABOUT AS FAR AS IT GOES.
IF THEY GOT PISSED AT ME IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP ME FROM DOING WHAT I WANT TO DO OR ANYTHING.
I DON'T EXACTLY GO "HEY FRIEND! I'M THINKING OF DOING A THING TODAY. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS THING? I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND OR MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT YOUR EXPLICIT VALIDATION CONFIRMING THAT I AM, IN FACT, DOING SOMETHING TOTALLY COOL AND AWESOME OF WHICH YOU APPROVE! PLEASE LOOK AT ME."
THAT'S JUST STUPID.

[thneed]

Yeah. Real stupid...
But maybe a little approval, right?

[ihateyouetc]

WHAT KIND OF APPROVAL ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

[thneed]

Love and praise?

[ihateyouetc]

I HATE TO BREAK THIS TO YOU BRO BUT THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY "A LITTLE APPROVAL."

[thneed]

Too much?

[ihateyouetc]

I DON'T WANNA SAY IT'S "TOO MUCH."
WHEN IT COMES TO HUMANS, THAT'S THE KIND OF IDEAL RELATIONSHIP THEY SHOULD HAVE WITH THEIR ADULT HUMAN LUSII?
BUT IT'S JUST NOT "A LITTLE" OF ANYTHING.
ACTUALLY, YOU GUYS SEEM TO HAVE PRETTY INTENSE EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR CLOSE GENETIC RELATIONS, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.
APATHY ISN'T THAT COMMON.

[thneed]

Apathy can be common. Ma's apathetic all the time.

[ihateyouetc]

YEAH, THAT HAPPENS WITH SOME LUSII TOO.
NOT THAT OUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE AS DEPENDENT AS YOURS.

[thneed]

Yeah. Yours really aren't dependent at all in comparison.
