[He made a very, very grave mistake. Well, he made a few. The first was engaging with Joshua in the first place. The second was opening his letter on his bed in Caer Scima because there's glitter everywhere and he flails, accidentally firing a wind spell to make the whole thing worse.
There's glitter everywhere. Everything sucks. The letter smells like that one store Honey would sometimes drag Tadashi into and Hiro would tease him about.
And then…he reads the letter. Cheeks puffing up indignantly he narrows his eyes and grabs for a pen, furiously scribbling as fast as he can with silver, stiff fingers onto a new page for another letter.]
I cannot believe you. I'm dying. I'm choking on glitter and I'm going to die before my sixteenth birthday and it's going to be your fault. "Hiro Hamada, DOA. Cause of death: glitter asphyxiation."
That's a little bit of good news and bad news. Good you're still "fairy-alive" and bad that this thing's going viral more than I thought. And maybe I'm not, but seriously. You won't like what you find on the other end. TRUST ME.
And where did you even learn to draw these emotes?
Wouldn't simplicity help though? Wouldn't being more rational make everything easier to comprehend? …maybe that's what it is. Maybe I'm just…confused. About everything. I don't LIKE being confused. I never used to be confused but everything's happening too fast. I know, I know, live in the moment, but how can you really live in a moment if that moment flies by before you can blink? I don't really know what I can do for myself from inside the castle. I've been reading a lot and writing a lot…drawing a lot, too. I started filling up that sketchbook you got me. Just the best ones though. Can we even afford to have fun anymore?
Thanks for the kind words of advice. Asshole.
I wouldn't say it's a surprise, no, but you could at least humor me. And…it didn't exactly keep me off the field? But it will now. I'm done, I think. I can't keep doing this, not when I have bigger ideas. They understand I think though.
SERIOUSLY how do you know how to draw so many emotes? This isn't cute, dude.
Suffocation. [There's an arrow drawn up to point at "glitter asphyxiation."] You set me up. Also I don't know if you're serious or not. At least when I can see you I have a better chance of telling if you're being a jerk or not. Anyway…I'm learning from a lot of my mistakes, but there are some I'm willingly walking into because I don't believe they're mistakes. Other people do. Somebody told me not to worry about what people think, but I also kinda like staying alive. Complicated, huh?
…also too soon. No more talking about blowing up, okay? Too soon.
And AGAIN, still not sure if you're serious! But…thanks, I guess. I…haven't talked to him for a month either so I don't really know how much it counts. I haven't told him about what's happening here either. Morla threatened to take my shard because I might have asked what would happen if I was working with a Seelie on a task for Shuck. I'm not gonna die, but…he had briefly mentioned losing his own shard. I don't want that, either. Also he's not the love of my life, don't exaggerate. I just like him a lot. Happy? Maybe I'm worried about what's going to be the final straw before everybody on that side hates me, too. Also thank you for slating me as Romeo, I appreciate NOT being a girl.
Of course there are other factors, Joshua. The pieces just don't line up yet, that's what I don't understand. So what are you saying, start fighting back? That's kinda how I got grounded in the first place. I'm doing what I can to stand my ground but…I can't risk losing my friends either. Even if we don't agree on things. But I'll think about it.
Am I still a superhero here? Does that still count? Can I be a superhero if I'm not saving anybody? Those are the tough questions. I've been here for over a year and I'm still not really sure how I fit into this world. I have a job to do and I'm not getting any traction. I can't fight like everybody else either so does this make me more human or just too fragile? I'm not asking to be on a pedestal, but I don't want to be useless either.
Oh no, I still fear that. :| [There. There, take your stupid free emote, Joshua.] I've just learned how to ignore most of your ridicule. And…I do. I don't know why, but I do. Maybe because you've made me think about a lot of things. You don't tell me what to do. I don't think most of my friends trust me anymore. I don't think I can blame them. Maybe I'm still trying to figure out how to let people in instead of letting them in and then shoving them back out when I think I can handle things myself. But that's something for me to solve myself, I know.
That's not funny >O The Drabwurld doesn't have therapists anyway.
Yeah, yeah. Just STAY alive, okay? Then we'll talk.
…I hope that's sooner than later.
PS: Lesson learned. I'll update you a lot sooner next time….just NO MORE GLITTER. EVER.
