I had to at least try. I think it bears repeating each and every time a conversation allots for it. I happen to think that’s the very best part about this whole thing, you’re crazy. You’re going to pay for that, Goldfish.Â
Which is extremely frequently, it seems. I figured you'd say something like that. Right, right. I think I'll be just fine.
Maybe, maybe not? Okay, yes, it was. That wasn’t exactly my most convincing cover but it still worked because in the end, I’m getting what I want. You really do spoil me, you know that, right? It means we’re not the ones with the problem here. Majority rules. Case closed.
Such a flimsy ruse, but nice attempt at selling it. Don't remind me. I do it without even meaning to, like a subconscious thing; that's the worst part. Brat.
I have a lot working in my favor here. And you’re right, it wouldn’t be nearly as adorable if you did it but I would actually like to see what you’d look like if you tried putting on a pout. Something tells me it would be amusing. It’s a simple matter of fact. More people would see it my way than they do yours. Yay, I’m so excited.
This is yet another ploy to make me embarrass myself for your entertainment, right? I'm not refusing to do it, but don't think for a second that I didn't notice. Then that means those people would be completely wrong, how unfortunate for them.
That just means I know what I’m doing. I’d wager that you’re more stubborn than I am— which is truly saying something. So for me to best you on this is news worth celebrating, if you ask me. You couldn’t shut me down if you tried. I’d only have a comeback of my own. You shouldn’t need lyric sites for each and every line of a song you’re listening to. That’s just insane. Yeah, a customized playlist would be really cute. I can’t wait to hear it. Yeah, well, you’re a teenage boy. I wouldn’t expect you to be a fan.
I am more stubborn, but I don't have that cute and pouty personality you've got. If I tried pouting, I'd just get strange looks and be told to grow up, I'm sure. That's an exaggeration and you know it. Most of the time, they're pretty decent at enunciating despite the screaming. That's on you. Perfect, I'll get to work.

Imogen: And I truly appreciate that trust. If it gets to be too much, I'll be sure to let you know.. Promise. It might be. But that doesn't mean you can't start to understand it! I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to. You're a smart guy, Eli. You should just know everyone comes with baggage.
Eli: Alright, please do. I do, I definitely do. It makes me feel less like a problematic person to realize everyone has something they're up against. It's just that Clare seems perfect to me. As perfect as someone can be, that is. I wasn't sure if she'd even be able to accept my extra crap, you know? It's similar to how Adam felt when you two were dealing with things.
You didn’t have any other choice but to agree. However, I’ll be kind and let you slide on that bit— though you’re still so very wrong. I shouldn’t have to strain my ears to catch a small taste of what they’re saying. It’s a wonder you’re even able to decipher that code they’re screaming in. Oh um, that’s an idea I can fully support actually. That’s so sweet, okay. See, you’re not the target audience which is why all of her music goes in one ear and out the other. You’re darn right it is. I’ll defend her until the end of time. Why thank you. The spunk is good for something.
You're so difficult to argue with. Not because I'm wrong, but because you're stubborn and I don't have the heart to completely shut you down. That's what lyric websites are for, m'dear. Maybe I'm just more perceptive than you, that could be it. Really? Good, I'll get to work on it, since I can think of a dozen off the top of my head if I'm being honest. Her target audience (save for you) annoys me almost as much as she does. Quite welcome.
Do you ever think that maybe you’re just so keen on being against this that you refuse to agree? I can be but now isn’t one of those times, meanie. Not to me, it really isn’t. All it does is give me a headache and I can never understand a word of what they’re saying. I don’t want to listen to it, no offense. I’ll give your music a try but not all the heavy stuff like you seem to enjoy. But if you have something a bit softer then sure, you can make me a playlist or something. She’s not a cliche. She discusses things that we all go through. So many of her songs I can relate to. Every girl knows what it’s like to go through heartbreak and struggle with friendships and the like. She does take risks. She’s always getting scrutinized for being honest. I respect her.
Alright, I'll admit that I'm stubborn to a fault. But with this, I've got sound reasoning. That just means you're not listening carefully enough. Fine, fine. How about this. If I make a playlist of songs I like, that also happen to remind me of you, would you listen to it? I can't relate to anything about being 22 or catty girls being mean to me. Just doesn't work. I can tell this argument is a moot point. For the record though, I find it endearing that you like her.
Well, I’m a smart girl. I can put two and two together all on my own without any assistance. I think I’m doing pretty well for myself here. Continuing seeing the truth? Yes, very grand. They would still be worthy, sure. To their target audience. I would respect them for creating their music because it can’t be an easy task. I just wouldn’t listen to it because heavy metal isn’t my cup of tea. Unlike somebody I know, I wouldn’t rag on them. What’s wrong with Taylor? Her music is great. She sings, she plays guitar and piano, and she writes her own material. Doesn’t that fit your criteria?Â
You're extremely bright, no debate there. But you're just so far off on this one. You can be such a brat sometimes, you know that? Heavy metal is a cut above the rest, and I'm so sorry that your ears haven't gotten turned on to it. There's still time though. You know, I've listened to a bit of your music, but you've hardly listened to mine. Double standard much? We have to change that. She's just...cliche. She's a walking, talking teenage cliche and I'm pretty sure she's not even a teenager anymore. She writes what sells, I wonder if she takes actual risks with her music.Â
I can read between the lines. If curiosity was getting the better of you, that means there was a pull or lure of some kind. Which amounts to the same thing in the end. You shouldn’t because you were treated to a beautiful song that you could actually appreciate— regardless of your feelings towards the artist. Of course you are. I wouldn’t doubt it. No, it’s not. Anyone that gets up there and can carry a note is worthy in my book. Um, Ed Sheeran? Taylor Swift? Perfect examples. Others contribute to their music too.
You're deciding this all on your own with no help from my actions. You can keep seeing it this way though, if it makes you happy. So let's say there's a heavy metal band, and they can carry a tune, but their music is a bit too much for you. Do you consider them worthy? I mean technically, they can carry a tune. Taylor Swift, don't even get me started on that topic. Poor examples.
I’m not grasping at anything. The facts are sitting right in front of me. If you were drawn to the song, there has to be something appealing about it. It struck a chord with you and that, to me, is the mark of a great songwriter. Such blasphemy. Is this what happens when you’re the child of a radio DJ? You become a musical snob? You poor, poor thing. There’s nothing wrong with pop music.
Who even said I was drawn to it? You're putting words in my mouth, Edwards. I just...clicked it out of curiosity. And now I regret it, so very much. I'm a proud music snob, thank you. Bullfrog taught me well. I think I'd be like this regardless, if I'm being honest. Pop music is a poor excuse for talent. Do you think any of those artists even write their own songs?
That says a lot all on its own, really. It means that you didn’t have any of your bias in realizing that he’s a talented guy. You can come up with excuses on a whim all you’d like but the proof is in the pudding. Your silence is doing the talking for you, don’t worry. Does this mean you’ll actually start listening to more of my music now? I could recommend some more you’d like and cure you of that rock obsession.
You're really grasping at straws here, aren't you? I never once said he was talented. I liked the sentiment behind the song. I guess the chorus was alright too. But it's not my kind of music, we've gone over this. Cure? There is nothing to cure. Rock music is like a religious experience, unlike that repetitive top 40 stuff you listen to.
Right, right. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that maybe, just maybe you actually found yourself enjoying a song by the very artist you’ve sworn yourself against? It’s okay to admit it, Elijah. It’s a pretty good song and I’m glad you clearly agree.
I failed to realize who the singer was. And I only clicked it because you posted it. The things you like intrigue me, since you intrigue me. Shocker. I'm admitting nothing. That was all bad judgment, apparently.

Imogen: No, no, don't be! I don't want anyone being sorry, even if it's from a place of total concern. It's nothing to be concerned over. Cross my whole heart and hope to die! It definitely is nice to be cared for. It's a refreshing change, heh. Sheesh. Maybe I shouldn't even /try/ to understand the wonders of Eli and Clare... but I'll probably continue to do just that, because I'm Imogen Moreno after all! Geez, Eli, I'm sorry. I keep putting my foot in my mouth with you two..
Eli: I'll take your word for it; you'd know better than anyone if it's something especially worrisome. I'm not sure I even understand us, and that's probably an issue, ha. Oh, no. You don't need to apologize for anything, seriously. Unfortunately I'm just a person who comes with baggage, but she doesn't seem to mind now that she knows.
That’s what friends do. I’m hoping you don’t, and if you do, I’m hoping she’s smart enough to realize you aren’t good enough for her. But if you’re being honest with me and you truly are going to be good to her, then good. That’s what she deserves. That’s the spirit.
You're a tough critic, jeez. Cross my heart, hope to die, scouts honor and all that -- Â you've got my word.Â
realelijah liked your audio post:Ed Sheeran ♫ Cold Coffee
Let me guess, your finger slipped?
I plead temporary insanity...? Or maybe I hit like in my sleep, who knows? It's a mystery.
I still don’t think you were right to keep her in the dark for so long. She might have forgiven you, but you’re still on a trial run with me. It does, just not everything.Â
I know my word counts for absolutely nothing, but I felt terrible dodging her. She knows it. But that's fair. If it had been the other way around, I could see Adam reacting the same way you are right now. I won't do that to her ever again, you'll see. I'll grin and bear the quasi-probation period you've got me on right now.
Task #7 || Character Meme
1) What they smell like:
Contrary to popular belief (i.e. Bianca's nostrils) Eli has pretty good hygiene. At the very least, it's average for a sixteen year old boy. He generally smells like a combination of mild cologne (not that Axe crap, a nicer, more understated brand) and occasionally like oil and car junk if he's been working on Morty. The shampoo he uses is vanilla because that's what Cece always buys, and he secretly actually likes the scent a lot.
2) How they sleep: (sleeping position, schedule, etc)
Eli has trouble sleeping on his back, unless he's just conking out for a little while. Typically, he falls asleep on one of this sides, and wakes up on his stomach. He drools a shit ton, don't believe otherwise. His sleeping schedule is terrible, but that's attributed to the insomnia he's slowly but surely developed after Julia's death. At first, it was the fact that he was afraid to sleep because of the nightmares. And now, even when he wants to sleep, his internal clock is so backwards that he usually ends up tossing and turning.Â
3) What music they enjoy:
Loud, typically. The angrier, the better. But he also likes mellow songs, as long as the lyrics mean something to him. He takes his music pretty seriously. If he ever shares his iPod with another person or lets them scroll through it, it means he really trusts them. His favorite songs say a lot that he can't with words.
Since becoming close to Clare, he's taken a liking to Ed Sheeran. But he'll never admit it to her
4) How much time they spend getting ready in the morning:
20 minutes hitting the snooze button and cursing at his alarm clock
10 minutes in the shower once he's finally up
5 minutes picking clothes/getting dressed
2 minutes on his hair
2 seconds for his sneakers (bless those velcro strapped bad boys)
total of just about 40 minutes, give or take
5) Their favorite thing to collect:
...Everything. It's a bit of a problem for him. One he still hasn't addressed.
6) Left or right handed:
Right
7) Religion (if any):
lolololol
8) Favorite sport:
He really likes running, since he enjoys the feeling of his adrenaline pumping. Also because he got really good at running away from bullies when he was too young and scared to fight back. As far as team sports go, he's crap, and he knows it. But he'd do pretty well on track if he ever joined.
9) Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc):
If he's out of town, Eli likes assuming a different identity and getting people to unknowingly play along with him. He takes it as a good opportunity to tell people heinous, unbelievable stories about himself just to get a reaction. It's his inner actor coming out. Or maybe he's just an asshole.
10) Favorite kind of weather:
Light drizzle while it's still sunny.
11) A weird/obscure fear they have:
Complete darkness in a room. He needs a small light on, even if it's just his iPod dock showing the time. He feels claustrophobic if he's in a pitch black, perfectly silent room. Eli's more afraid of the unknown than he'd ever let on.
12) Their oddest/unusual insecurity:
Sometimes he's a little insecure about his stature. He knows he has a small build, and that's something that can't be remedied with exercise. So he tends to wear baggy clothes. If he can't grow taller or be more buff, his next subconscious move is to take up more space, to appear larger than he is. This insecurity probably took root because every aggressor he's ever had in his life has been larger than him, and used it to their advantage.
13) The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail:
Eli would be a pretentious dick and say "everything." but that's not true. He's really good at fighting games, like Tekken or Mortal Kombat, so anything like that he's likely to win. He's also not bad at DDR, but he'd never play it in public. He'd win without exerting much effort, so he should probably get over that dumb hangup and try it for bragging rights if nothing else.
