but you're a masterpiece🎨

the name is myles medusa and i'm a 19 year old sophomore at asu. my hobbies include long walks in the rain, drinking way too much espresso, and creating art that i personally think will be considered priceless by the world someday -- or everyone but my mom anyway, but that'll have to be good enough.

Jason: All you owe me is a kiss that's all! Okay okay okay, I don't distract....but how much do I not distract? 👀 Do I have to bring headphones?

Myles: That's it? Come on, you know you can ask for that, I'd give you a kiss for free! Hmmm, now that you mention it, bringing headphones might be a good idea? Just because the most efficient way of doing this is thirty minutes of distraction and then letting me go for a while and just doing that on a cycle lol or at least, that's what I'm guessing will work? I've never really done this before.

Jason: Of course you can!! All night, night of fright let's do it!! and way i can help you with it? and should i bring over like snacks and games and stuff for us??

Myles: I can't thank you enough but thank you thank you thank you 🤗 I owe you one! Snacks and games and stuff sound so perfect, just don't distract me TOO much. I know that's very hard for you but do your best lol.

Myles: Can I ask for the biggest favor ever? 🥺 I have a huge art project due tomorrow and I'm so far from finishing it so I'm going to have to pull an all-nighter but I'm a sleepy, sleepy boy so I don't trust myself not to knock out. Will you come over and keep me awake until I finish?

Abbie: I’m doing the science so same thing! Is rainbow soup a real thing???? Where is it, cuz now I want some! I think I’d be borscht! It’s such a fun pretty color and it can be hot or cold!

Myles: Not the same thing! Science is annoying and makes me want to sleep, and you always makes me happy. Rainbow soup is totally a real thing! I think technically it's called rainbow vegetable soup but I like calling it rainbow soup. Borscht is a super pretty color so that works well for you, I think! But also... why the soup questions?

[mylesmedusa]

TEXT 🍆 MYBBIE

Abbie: If you were a soup, what kind of soup would you be? This is a question for Science 👩🏼‍🔬

Myles: I'd rather answer a question for you than for science, science never did anything for me lol. But okay, a rainbow soup because colors are the best and also I'm not straight. What about you?

Jason: yeah! i mean i use the prank advice she gives me! she is like the master of pranks anyway. yeah! you're super fun and talented she'd think you're cool! i mean she'd tease you a little bit but that's how she shows she cares! wooo!! i can be a good luck charm in person form! I'll cheer the absolute loudest! 😄

Jason: thanks!! im glad you think so too! it's always been just so fun to play! and coach told me to let all my energy out on the field. ha! that's funny i never really thought of myself as a jock but i guess i technically am! sure!! i mean costume stores usually let you try on clothes i think right??

Jason: feelings are super confusing. and it made me sad when you said you weren't sure you wanted to have those feelings with me but it made me super happy when you asked me out so it's all great!! oh i have some ideas!!! we can go swimming in the enchanted lake! or we can go exploring the forest! or or be in one of those giant hamster ball things that float over the water! Your art is going to like explode with greatness!! you're really awesome too 🥰

Myles: What's the best advice she's ever given you about pranking, if you had to pick just one thing? And haha well hopefully whenever I meet your mother, I'll tease her back some then so she knows her son hangs out with cool people. I don't know if people cheer at tennis games but I don't see why they shouldn't so good, I hope you do! You'd be an adorable cheerleader.

Myles: I feel like it'd take a million fields or you to have enough room to leave all your energy! I'm glad you have an outlet for it, that's the most important part of life, I think -- finding an outlet that just works for you. You're totally technically a jock! I mean, you're crazy good at sportsball things! And maybe? I don't know! I feel like Halloween stores usually have costumes in weird plastic packaging.

Myles: If it makes you feel better, it made me sad to say I didn't want to have those feelings with you too. And I thought being sad would be a good, inspiring thing, but I've never tried being inspired by being happy. Maybe that'll be good too. What if we took some of those giant hamster balls out to the Enchanted Lake and once we were done playing in them, we could go for a swim? That sounds like a lot of fun, and like it'd be a beautiful backdrop for a beautiful date! 🥰🥰🥰

Jason: I probably don't remind her as much as I should. And you know I'm sure she'd think you're awesome too! Yay! Im glad you'll stick with it! And now I definitely want to come to a game! I'll get to see you play a sport and look cute in tennis shorts!!

Jason: You don't sound conceited, you just do great at your paintings! It's how I am with football! I'm pretty good at being receiver I think! I just run so much already it's like second instinct. sweet!! we can get one for you at the costume store! And I can pick out some fangs.

Jason: say no to a date with you?? that would never happen. DUDE we're going to have so much fun! I swear it. And you're going to love it so much you'll have so much like inspiration to keep painting! It'll be good!! I promise! We can go do something super fun and then hopefully have an amazing kiss too! And if it feels anything like how I'm feeling now then you'll be like bursting with paint!!!

Myles: You're a good son so I'm sure you remind her in your own way! I just know if my mom was awesome, I'd probably tell her every day and paint her stuff to remind her. You really think she'd like me? But yeah, you should definitely come to a game! Maybe if you did, I'd actually win for once.

Myles: You're admittedly really great on the field, which is funny, because I usually can't tell when someone is good at sports type stuff. I never thought I'd be out here having feels for a jock lol. I love costume stores! Let's do it! You think they'll let us try on stuff if we ask nicely?

Myles: I just know I've been a little hot and cold about it and if I just asked you out the first time I wanted to, it would've been forever ago, but I'm SO glad you didn't say no. Having fun with you is one of my favorite things! What should we even do though? My only date type ideas are like... museums? But that also feels more like "me" and not like "us". If the first date and the first kiss feels anything like how I'M feeling now, I'm about to enter a whole new period in my art! Thanks for being so understanding. You're kind of amazing.

Jason: oh she is really the best!! oh yeah!! i bet you could get good at though if you kept practicing!

Jason: oh man that sucks hardcore. I'm sorry she did that to your paintings. it's too bad we'll never see what they could've been! but I'm glad i get to see the awesome work you do now. and maybe since you had to keep restarting you got more practice and that's why you're so amazing now? i think you can pull it off!! we just have to get you a mask! or one of those headband wolf ear things. but that would probably just look super cute instead of scary.

Jason: you don't sound crazy! it just sucks though. i don't want your art to suffer it's your life. but i do like you. i guess if I just have to stay your friend without kissing and that's it then I'll have to? it's uh... your decision because i don't want you to hate me later on for making your art different

Myles: She sounds like it! I hope she knows how much you love her. Good moms are hard to find. And I hope you're right. I'm going to keep at it just to keep a sport and also because I think the tennis shorts are cute!

Myles: It's okay. I mean, it's NOT okay, but it's what happened. Besides, you're not wrong; it probably did help me get better. Working under hard conditions spits out greatness sometimes and I wouldn't call myself "greatness" but only because that's a little conceited and I want you to like me lol. I totally want to try out one of those headband wolf ear things now though!

Myles: I wouldn't hate you. I'm just... I really want to let my pain fuel my art, but also I didn't expect it to hurt this much not getting to see what it'd be like with you, and it REALLY hurts.

Myles: I totally get why you'd say no after how wishy washy I've been about stuff but screw it. Do you think you'd want to go on a date with me sometime maybe?

Jason: I've just always been so high energy! my mom put me into sports to try and tire me out when i was a kid so I've been doing it forever! you can still try if you want! like doing different kind of sports instead?

Jason: oh sweet same brain! it must've been hard in the beginning? like did you have to learn to be patient?? i think I'm still learning. yeah for pranks!! i mean you've pretty much always been my partner but idk if you'd wanna go full werewolf for one 👀👀👀

Jason: oh so you don't want it to mean anything?

Jason: you can join in without being athletic, wrestling is for everyone

Myles: I think it's awesome that your mom cares that much to help you find your passion! I play tennis, actually. I have since I started at ASU. I'm not good at it at all but I thought I needed to sign up for a sport, otherwise I'd never leave the art studio and I'd turn into a blob lol.

Myles: It was, really hard. My mom used to get really mad if she caught me spending our resources on stuff to paint with or paint on, so even if I did manage to get a piece started, sometimes she'd ruin them on purpose or throw them out into the trash. That sort of treatment any time you start to make progress would teach anyone patience, but it was a painful lesson tbh. Me, full werewolf? I don't know if I'd be able to pull it off as well as you could!

Myles: I don't know. Yes? No? Mostly, I'm just worried what happens if we kiss and I like it and I never want to stop kissing you and you never break my heart, because you're you and you're awesome and you'd be so great. And I've never worked well, art-wise, when I'm happy, and you already make me so happy just as a friend that if you were anything else, maybe all my art for the rest of my life would just straight up suck. Does that make sense or do I sound totally crazy?

Myles: I'll think about it!

Jason: true!! i love getting to play pranks I've already done before again because it's always just as good as the last time!! 💪 but i do AWESOME running long it burns so much energy.

Jason: yeah!! like it's an unplanned art addon thingy that makes like even better than what you TRIED! niiiice i always liked my eyes too. i could totally get away with it. wanna wingman me??

Jason: just after the kiss party i guess i thought you (only) wanted to kiss other people.

Jason: HECK YEAH I WILL BE! you can totally watch it's going to be epic!!

Myles: Exactly, it's a silver lining if you look at it in the right light. And really? That's so cool. I sometimes wish I could be athletic like you but I don't have an athletic bone in my body lol. How did you get to be so... jock-ish???

Myles: That's how I've always looked at it! And not just because on the Isle, the cheap paint almost always bubbled and ruined what I was imagining. Your eyes are great so I'm glad you're a fan, it'd be sad if you couldn't see how truly beautiful they were. Wingman you? For a prank, right?

Myles: I still want to kiss you. I haven't stopped wanting that. I just also wanted to kiss someone else and I don't know. On the Isle people kiss all the time and it doesn't mean much but here, if I kissed you, it'd kind of feel like it would mean something? Does that make sense?

Myles: I legitimately can't wait. It sounds riveting. I'd say I'd join in but again, unathletic.

Jason: Challenge accepted! But just a heads up, I'm not that great at remembering things. coach gets pretty pissed about it in season. 😂 but i'll probably think it's cute even if it's not good!

Jason: you shouldn't! that stuff builds character! THEY'RE BIG LIKE A WOLF, RIGHT?? Like I could totally be a believable wolf if I wanted to prank someone?

Jason: hm okay! and i definitely know now!

Jason: wrestling IN jello!!! And I guess if you're in it you can wrestle it too xD it's going to be so messy and loud, and fun i can't wait!

Myles: I'll take you thinking it's cute lol. And a bad memory isn't that bad. It means you get to experience things like they're the first time all over again. I guess I can see why a coach wouldn't see its value though!

Myles: Right? I think any imperfections do, like when a paint bubble disrupts an otherwise perfect portrait. They really REALLY are. Big eyes are kind of my favorites, they're windows to a whole other world. And that prank would definitely work! Especially because you never know in Auradon, anything is possible!

Myles: You didn't know you were on that list? Really?

Myles: Hmm so YOU'RE going to be wrestling in said Jello? Can I watch?

Abbie: That's so fun! Except if it doesn't ruin your artistic vision too much, could you maybe draw me not frowning? I just like smiling too much to want to risk being immortalized with a frown. Duh? I have no idea what I’d even do as a sugar baby, except like probably get my own too or something. I figured!

Abbie: It’s not bad, being a sugar baby is probably So helpful for an artist like you, I’m always so shocked when I go into the art store for new crafts and see how expensive everything else is! I’m sure you could, you’ve got that kind of Timmy Shamalamdingdong charm and I’m pretty sure thats what Call Me By Your Name is about!

Myles: But if someone wanted to see you smile, all they'd have to do is see you in person! Art is supposed to capture what real life can't give you, and I can't think of anything that's more elusive in real life than an Abbie frown. I'll tell you what though, I'll try to make it so that you look like you're either smiling or frowning depending on who's looking -- you'll be my personal Mona Lisa! Aw, you'd start a sugar baby chain? That's cute!

Myles: It'd be SO helpful! All the stuff to paint is crazy expensive. I'm just glad I didn't decide to go into pottery because who has the time or money for THAT. I'm a little shocked you've never watched Call Me By Your Name because that's definitely NOT what that movie's about, there's no sugar daddying in it at all - and it's actually kind of a beautiful movie in case you ever planned to watch it, highly recommend - but I'll take the compliment because Timothee Chalamet is pretty hot.

TEXT 🍆 MYBBIE

Abbie: I know!!! RIP THAT LIFE! I love our one penis friendship too but isn't it just so fun and so tragic to dream!? I was watching this movie about a girl that's a sugar baby and it made me wonder about what I'd do if I was a sugar dad and what I'd spend the money on and you were like the first and most obvi choice like how the Queen paid for that one guy's plays in Shakespeare In Love! Except I don't think they boned but like it's 2021 so I'd get to have fun.

Myles: RIP INDEED! And I shall be drawing a portrait of you frowning and in lavish surroundings to commemorate it, so yes, it's very very tragic! Your brain went to what you'd do as a sugar daddy and not what your life would be like as a sugar baby? That's hysterical to me, oops. But you made the right choice, you'd get the most bang for your buck with me, pun intended.

Myles: Ugh is it bad that now I'm wondering if I have any real world sugar baby material? Like, COULD I land a sugar daddy if I tried?

[mylesmedusa]

TEXT 🍆 MYBBIE

Abbie: If I had a penis, I’d want to put it in you. And I’d treat you with respect and pay for your drinks. And pay waaaay too much money for you to do artwork of me like frowning a lot all fancy style! Like an extremely platonical sugar dad!

Myles: Of all the things in the world to get sad about, you not having a penis isn't one I ever expected and yet, here I am, mourning this life you've detailed out that quite honestly sounds like the dream. A sugar daddy who pays me too much to paint him? Free drinks? RESPECT? Ugh 🥵

Myles: I mean, don't get me wrong, I love our friendship as is, with only one penis, but still! Thanks for adding to a heavy heart, at least. It helps the art.

Myles: What brought this on?

[mylesmedusa]

what are your thoughts on the medusa of myths (and not the mom whose birth canal you came out of)

Medusa has a fabulous aesthetic. She’s a snake icon.

honesty hour!

[mylesmedusa]

what is your style of painting?

Thanks for asking! Realism, but I dabble in painterly art as well.

honesty hour!
