#texting is hard

[topsurgeryfordogs]

pov: you're very famous celebrity athlete shane hollander about to make your first social media statement about your secret homo relationship with your famous celebrity rival ilya rozanov (who you play against in one of the most anti-gay sports leagues in the world). this is a big fucking moment for you and everyone you know. you find yourself typing out and deleting your statement over and over again... typing, deleting, typing, deleting... knowing you won't be able to control how the world receives you once you hit send and you want to get it exactly right... finally, after thirty or forty minutes, countless drafts, and one "you are having panic attack, hollander" from the love of your life... you land on this statement ^

Was wondering why no one replied to mg text… I never sent it 😭

If I respond with “that’s reasonable” or “that’s understandable” to something you said then you’ve reached by automated voice message system. I recognize that there is an expected response to this but I don’t know what it is so I’ve defaulted to my preprogrammed answers. I’m sorry

i just sorta want to stop talking to people for a spell because i’m terrible with talking and people

[persephone-in-spring]

i feel anxious ingoring messages even if it's from someone i really don't wanna talk to at the moment like yes the literal idea of a conversation exhausts me at the moment but there's that red dot just staring at me daring me to ignore it and even if i close it i keep opening it to see the message still there unopened and before i know it i am replying and i think that's very modern-day-francis-abernathy of me

Of the time I am writing this it is currently 8:44 in the morning but I HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO ACCUMULATE EVERY WAY TO SAY DAD AND SON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

I have also come to the realization, the concept of you will of Oz and Oscar can speak multiple languages and are constantly switching it up and are always calling each other Dad and Son in various languages

AHHH ANGEL U ARE TRYING TO KILL ME WITH DADPIN

I want you to consider this: Ozpin is the one who taught Oscar these multiple languages. It was Not Fun or easy because Ozpin is the kind of teacher who REALLY pushes you

Basically Ozpin would just start talking to Oscar in a random language one day until he learned enough of the basics to get by.

Ozpin mutters, “your (insert language) is terrible and i can say whatever I want without repricussions. I ate the last of your cookies.”

And Oscar looks him dead in the eye after months of floundering with (insert language) and is like, “The joke is on you. I spat in them.”

And Ozpin finally breaks Strict Teacher Mode and just starts HOWLING WITH JOY

I love the post-new-chapter discourse almost as much as I love each new chapter so here's my contribution: I gotta give Lys the benefit of the doubt here as someone who has accidentally texted her boss ABOUT her boss before. 11/10 would not recommend

Oh god. My best friend once accidentally sent her boss a reply to the smutfic I wrote her for her birthday??? 😂😂😂
