accepting that you’re objectively weird & owning it is infinitely better than being constantly desperate to appear normal to people who don’t even matter to you
“the problem with tinder is that it’s too easy to get banned. you’re telling me that i got kicked off for asking one guy his ssn? there’s no way they’ve never had that happen before. grindr, at least, has the courtesy to give you a warning first. thrinder’s fine but it’s buggy and too easy to crash - i know, i’ve done it three times already. hinge & bumble are both fine but where’s the fun in that? besides, i mostly use bumble for bumblebff - i’m sorry, wait what were you saying before?”
“Really? So tinder’s like Atom Kiss nightclub in Tokyo.” He shakes his head in a disapproving manner. Laughing off the way the other went into this social media app tangent. “I actually asked what you’re doing later, but I suppose you’ve answered that?” He joked with Bugs.

“Oh uh, I asked if you’d seen a cellphone…um pink with a red beaded chain hanging from the side? …Because I’m looking for it for someone?” Fred muttered, as he tried to mentally walk back to where they’d even gotten to this point in the conversation just from his simple question. “But all that other stuff is pretty cool, I guess? I mean you used a lot of words I’ve never heard of before, like…thrinder? And bumblebff? But good for you, bud!
the phone the boy was looking sounded exactly like bug’s phone and, just because she liked to cause a stir when there was no reason to, she said, “oh this one?” holding hers up. she opened up her myspace app and started texting a friend, “yeah, i’ve seen it around.” and then she smiled, laughing at a joke her friend texted, and a bigger joke that neither her friend nor this boy could see.

“Tinder is soo vanilla.” He responded nonchalantly, joining the random conversation. Previously, he’d been sitting on the steps of one of the buildings. In the way, but minding his own business otherwise. “That would never happen on the app that I use.” He mentioned, looking the other up. “Nothing. Just that that’s a pretty choker.” A light shrug.
the guy bugs had originally been speaking to - some confused freshman who was desperately looking for an excuse to leave - muttered a goodbye and stumbled off to class. bugs looked over at the person who walked over. “ ‘your app?’ let me guess, you’re a full-eyed and bushy tailed tech bro with an idea that will break the internet?” bugs would be lying to say he wasn’t invested, though. he loved messing with people, especially those with dumb ideas. “thanks, it’s one of my favorites.”

[justice smith, 25, genderfluid, he/she/they] Did you hear that BUGS BUNNY from LOONEY TOONS is a FRESHMAN at Tooniversity? They major in GENDER STUDIES and you can find them CAUSING PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE WORKING AT THE STUDENT CENTER on most days. I always hear THE CULT OF DIONYSUS BY THE ORION EXPERIENCE playing from their dorm! ( anna, she/her/hers, est)
do you ever meet those types of people who just, like, really like to cause problems?
scratch that. you know nathan fielder, eric andre, jeff goldblum, and the like? he’s like if all of them had a baby -- no, wait, that’s not what i mean. actually, whatever.
he didn’t go to college on the normal path because of course he didn’t - why would he do what everyone else was doing?
he spent a few years travelling, worked some odd jobs, met some odd people, and realized he was the oddest.
one day she sat down in her apartment - well, not her apartment, technically, a friend of a friend of a friend of an enemy of a cousin’s - and watched animal house for the first time and thought, “yeah, i could do that”
they enrolled in classes that same week
they chose gender studies because they thought it would be the funniest to do (also, they really like gender theories, but hush, she would never admit she takes anything seriously)
even i don’t know if she acts based off good or evil intentions, maybe just for the laughs
