“I don’t have enough money to care about them.. Like I can’t donate so I’d rather just not care.”
“Don’t say that! I am as broke as the ladybug on the street. So pretty much just really really broke. But you know, we can advocate by protesting or even going on informative twitter threads where we don’t offend anyone and if we do, we apologize and be on our merry way!!”
“if i had a beating heart, it would be all yours. don’t worry. though, that part of me died years ago. wow. you’re making me envious of your storytelling. if i could capture such emotion with words like you just did, i could - i don’t know - be a best selling author. what a life you must lead. candles and a rose? damn. you’re not easy. that’s good, though. play coy. it makes the guys want you even more. who doesn’t love a chase?”
“— is there anyway to get it, you know, beating again? i’m, uh, asking for a friend. sorry, my friend is a bit nosy. – i could teach you, you know. how to be the best storyteller in the world. it takes a little bit of trust and pixie dust, but those aren’t THAT hard to find. i mean, i love your stories but just to spice it up with some fab-apollo-ness. i know, i know. i’m so difficult. maybe next time i’ll make it easier and ask you to just bring me the moon instead. EASY tasks. right. i’m sure it does. where are all the people that find me fascinating? i don’t know, probably having a tea party with zeus or something.
*:･ﾟ✧ “OKAY look at this though. i made the cutest flower crown in the history of flower crowns. my boss told me to make something that might entice customers so i did. are you ready to hear this because i really don’t think you are? you might want to take a seat so you don’t faint from astonishment. i mean, this is really really good. i’m really proud of myself. ready? 200% sure? ---- TA DAH. it’s a crown made out of cacti and blue starlets!! and the spikes on the cacti face out so like if you don’t want people touching it you can just be like, ‘spikes.’ it also fits people with prickly personalities and maybe the blue starlets might brighten up their day. i mean, flowers make people happy right? it’s a super nifty defense tool too!! this might just make me big.”
“i would too but i’m scared it’s gonna end up like in supernatural where the people make deals with demons and have like a solid ten years of life and then get dragged to hell by hellhounds. maybe that’s a bit much but…still scary. —- honestly, same. tony stark is the love of my life right next to peter parker. i’ve always wanted to be gwen stacy, if i’m being honest. did you seriously just use the onion reference from shrek? what’s a flame war? i have no idea what that is. jack dawson is a national treasure and anyone who hates him can eat my shit. titanic’s a classic if not the best love story there is. i’d dare say it’s better than romeo and juliet.”
“GASP. oh my gosh, cora. CORA. please don’t tell me you spoiled supernatural for me just now. i am only on the first season. if you did though, i totally forgive you but just in case you forgot, i really like coconut chocolate. just saying. -- wait you want to be gwen? so you want to die, wait what?? oh OH, I get it now. Whoops. honestly though peter parker is goals. what if we just went up to random people and asked them to be the peter parker to our gwen before she, uhm, you know. -- YES, yes i did. you know how much i love shrek. he’s very inspiring. okay okay flame war lesson number one. flame war, an argument between internet users who repeatedly provoke each other with personal attacks through online communication. very mean stuff. -- oh gosh, do not get me started with romeo and juliet. okay, i have about fifty million rants about romeo and juliet. i just -- ugh. FRUSTRATION. i mean they’re literally like five years old. the whole time i just want to go in there and be like, ‘gurl stop. you don’t need him. i mean he’s cool, but really?’”
“you’re always the target of my affection. let’s be honest. yeah? i really want to see it, now. maybe, i can find it online or something. i feel like my life has been empty, knowing that this shitty ass movie is out there somewhere and unseen by my eyes. you’re a liar. you just want me to cook you lasagna. it’s okay. don’t be shy like me. i’ll make you lasagna. i’ll even go out and buy champagne too. it’ll be everything you dreamed of and more.”
“if i believed any of that i’d be swooning right into your arms but life just doesn’t work out that way. i’ll take the thought to my grave though. -- okay but here comes apollo to the rescue because guess who has a copy of the movie? totally me. you’re probably thinking ‘why do i have a copy of the movie’ okay well, the story goes like this. i walked into the store and like they were selling it for $1 so i was like, why not, right?’ the end. 10/10 story telling.-- i don’t lie, crimson. i act. but will you really because i’m totally going to take the offer. i love me some lasagna. add some candles and a rose and it’ll be perfect. sorry, i’m needy.”
“Bro..” Mack shook his head. “No.” He laughed. “I’m not watching those videos, I honestly don’t care enough.”
“That’s the thing though. You don’t care now, but after you watch these videos you will!! C’mon, just give it a chance. There’s so much to learn and it’s a super cute video!! I mean, treating animals poorly isn’t cute but the way they went about it was cute, you know?”
“honestly, it’s worth every dollar i’ve given to marvel. like, this shit tops both avengers movies. you’re a good man, charlie brown- this is why you’re my favorite. —- that’s the shitty part. people only see one layer of a character and assume that’s all they are but there’s so much…depth to them. especially tony stark. but i can’t get more worked up about this ‘cause i’ll just go off on a tangent and regret it. i’ll just go on a twitter rant instead. titanic’s one of my favorite movies, are you kidding? why the hell do people not like jack? i’ve literally never heard that. yeah, him freezing to death might actually complicate things.”
“ i would sell my soul to marvel if i could but i don’t think that’s worth a lot. -- awe, i love being your favorite. --- tony stark is great, honestly. i have a major crush on him. not just the actor, the character itself. super lame, but honestly he has so many layers, like an onion, how can you NOT be intrigued? okay but remember, no flame wars. flame wars are not okay and are not nice. -- okay the characters in the film did not like jack because he was poor. and then people called jack dumb because he didn’t get on the board with rose but the board would’ve toppled over, so? i’m just. i really like the titanic and people are confusing.”
“apollo… wow. my hero. be still my heart. i think i’ve found love. honestly, that sounds like the shittiest movie out there. i really want to turn down your recommendation, but out of morbid curiosity… i want to see it. maybe, i’ll have a little shitty horror movie night to myself for a good laugh. you’re going in blind? that’s the best way to see a horror movie. you don’t know what to expect. is this just an excuse to get a boy to cook for you?”
“ always here to be the target of people’s affections twenty-four, seven. -- okay, honestly it was so excruciatingly bad that it was extremely entertaining. it is currently on my list for most hilarious films because i just keep seeing the gingerbread man from shrek turning into the protagonist of a horror movie film. please let me know how you like it; it’s precious time of your life well spent, i can assure you that. -- yes but you are not allowed to hold my reactions against me, okay? this is a pact, right here. -- psh. no. where did you get that? that’s totally not my plan. nah.”
“thank you. you were able to see past my wall, and realize i’m just too shy to show my true colors. wow, apollo. you’re my hero. what? no. you can’t be serious. i guess it’s up to me to pick a movie, because… i don’t know what the fuck you just said. i mean, what the hell? where did you see an evil gingerbread man. yeah? we can watch evil dead. that’s a pretty easy choice. i’m more than a cute face, you know. i make really good lasagna.”
“what can i say? i jump over walls with ease. i just know you too well. i know, i know. i’ll always be your hero. --- okay but have you never seen the gingerdead man?? i’m not even kidding it’s a real movie and it was about this executed killer coming back as a murderous gingerbread man because he was cursed. 10/10 would recommend. - okay. don’t kill me but i haven’t seen it yet so i’m going in blind. wow, really? you’re oh so so talented, crimson, i’m oozing with jealousy. no, but honestly if you make really good lasagna, i need evidence or else i’m just going to think you’re bluffing and trying to impress me.”

@thatapollo: but what if someone's vegan????????? it's too early to start flame wards today ella
“i would never over-exaggerate. falling asleep in a park with dried up flower petals in your pocket is no laughing matter. damn. why have you been holding out on me? i would love to fill my room with the most colorful flower petals you could find. kidding. no thanks. pizzas are your angel? okay. what kind of horror movies do you like? i’m game for anything. i just want something that’s going to keep me entertained and pass time. though, i get the feeling you just want to spend time with this handsome face and munch on free pizza.”
“oh, you don’t have to act so shy. i know how much you secretly wish for flowers to fill your whole room but you’re just too shy to ask me. it’s okay, i’ll save the brightest flowers from the shop just for you -- no questions ask. aren’t i so nice? spreading color around like a sharpie. -- okay, but how are they not your angel? they’re so convenient but delicious. uhm my favorite horror movies consist of sharknado, mufasa dying, and the evil gingerbread man. ok but honestly, i’m fine with anything. wow, was i that obvious? yeah, i mean free food and cute faces, how can i turn such an amazing situation down?”
♔ ┈ ▌“One thing that is a big NO-NO for me is when a person asserts that violet and purple are EXACTLY the same color even after you told them that they aren’t.” The brunette uttered, making a face that showed her disapproval at the thought. “As an artist, this offends me.” She humored, chuckling softly. “But hey, I think I can live with it. They’re part of the familial colors anyway — just, don’t argue with me if I say that certain colors aren’t the same because chances are, one of the colors that you’re referring to probably has a lighter tone than the other one.”
“ okay, but i totally agree? a flower bouquet with bright yellows would look absolutely horrendous with violet but fit quite well with purple. they’re not the same but i’m bad at arguing with people and i’m always just like, ‘you’re right. it’s probably just me.’ which isn’t good, i know. but i feel bad if i argue so i give them bouquets with violet colors when it should’ve been purple but they asked for violet thinking that it was the same as purple and i just --- it’s a mess. life is a mess. colors are messy.”
“you didn’t get mugged or murdered, this time. how about we place bets! you fall asleep at the park tomorrow night, and we’ll see if you live to tell the tale. you’re not intruding on my private life. there’s not much going on in my private life. don’t worry. yep. that’s what i said. you and i are going to share a disappointing pizza over a nice horror film. it will be our own little underwhelmingly average night. ”
“okay, please, you’re over-exaggerating now. why would someone mug me when the only thing i have is dried up flower petals? and why would someone want to kill me? i mean, i’m just minding my own business right? we can bet but i’m betting in my flower petals which i’m sure you’d absolutely love to have so you can adorn your room. bring a little colorfulness into your daily life, you know? -- horror film, right.” apollo brushed his hand through his hair, rather conflicted on the idea as his experiences with horror were rather dreadful. “okay but every pizza tastes good to me; they’re the angels of my life. especially calzones. -- well my average night consists of sleeping at eight pm, so i guess this is rather exciting for me.”
“actually, you don’t like the smell of rain. rain doesn’t even have a smell. it’s just water. what you’re smelling is just a mixture of plant oils and bacterial spores. i don’t know. i just don’t want to trudge down the street, getting completely soaked. i could just hang out on my balcony, smoke a bowl, and enjoy the rain — without getting wet. honestly, i’m stuck on this movie idea. i could just curl up in bed and watch something spooky. it sounds nice. you fell asleep in a park? that’s an awful idea. what if you were mugged or murdered while you were passed out? you’re lucky they woke you up. chill. you can come over if you want. it’s not like i had anyone to watch the movie with, anyway.”
“-- right. uhm, then i like the smell of plant oils and bacterial spores i guess? i don’t know why i like it so much; now it just seems really weird for me to say i like the smell of rain. yikes. -- okay yes, but hear me out. it totally was not on purpose. i was just out there looking at the stars and i kind of just -- fell asleep? okay but the thing is -- i didn’t get mugged or murdered, so that’s a plus right? oh yeah, okay sure. i just didn’t want to intrude on your private life you know? it does sound really nice and i don’t have work so that works out. but just for clarification, you said a spooky movie, yes?
“All I said was that his butt looked fantastic. It was a compliment! I’ll never understand some people, I swear. Did he think I was going to try and jump him right there in the street? Do I really look that desperate. If you say yes I’m going to start putting pickles in your coffee, I mean it.”
“Oh my god, that’s definitely going to bruise. Uhm, uhm well. Just, hold on. I’m going to get you some ice and uhm a pillow and some cookies? I mean, do you like cookies? If you don’t I think i have like raisins somewhere? -- Anyway, in all honesty, maybe just a tiny bit desperate? Hold on, hold on. I’m just kidding!! Spare me the pickles please. I don’t know, I would appreciate a butt compliment but then again if it was from a stranger, i’d feel really weird? like thank you but uhm, please don’t look at my butt. “
“it’s like the universe is trying to keep me in my apartment. after i finish up on a little bit of writing, i finally decide it’s time for a change of scenery. i was going to head out, and go for a walk. of course. it starts pouring outside. that’s fine. i’ll just order some pizza and catch a movie.”
“ hey, hey --- you can still have a walk in the rain, wouldn’t you agree? rain is great!! i mean, i personally love the smell of rain and the sound of it too. wait, sorry, i know people have different opinions on rain and that sounded super selfish and that’s totally not what i was trying to say like at all. --- it’s just super relaxing and i feel like i can just curl up and fall asleep on the sidewalk. speaking of which, i fell asleep in the park last week and woke up at around two in the morning when a policeman came and asked why i was sleeping in the park. i was super delusional when i woke up? i thought i was like Alice and fell into a rabbit hole or something. --- sorry, i don’t know why i told you that? totally different story. uhm - anyway. sorry, yeah, what were we talking about? --- right. uhm, well if you need a companion for movie watching, i’m free. but i’m not forcing you to invite me or anything, you know. not at all. just a thought.”
“I bought this save the whales shirt today from a group protesting SeaWorld.. I love SeaWorld, but I thought this would give me that whole activist vibe. Plus it’s hella soft.”
“ I have this inability to step any foot into SeaWorld-- I mean have you seen the videos the activists made? I probably cried in every single one of them and then went and donated money that I didn’t have just because they were so convincing. Whales are so cute -- they’re like big giant lovable alien things that just want to be free and fly away on their little magic carpet they call the sea. --- You should definitely try watching those videos though, I have about eleven of them saved on my computer if you’re interested in checking them out? Actually, no. I’m forcing you to watch them --legit right now -- because you ‘gotta live the shirt, you know?”
