bleeding paint - banter #2
Hi! BP is the title of the rewrite of V's route and after ending that I'm working on, where V is not romanced. Posts tagged banter will be just that - drabbles between two characters that you can read in any order and nothing too plot-heavy happens. I do them to get a feel for the characters and they're a lot of fun to write, so I thought I'd share!
This one is mostly Jake. It contains one reference to banter #1 (the remarried parents line), but otherwise works as a standalone.
Pairing: CMC (Jake Park) x Vanderwood
Setting: the cabin, around what would be day 9
Warnings: swear words; baked potatoes heavily featured
Word count: 1,148
Tumblr media
[Madeline Miller, Song of Achilles]
"You want to send..." one of Vanderwood's eyebrows is arched as they look at me. "Emails?"
"...Yeah?" I don't get the confusion. Every day I send emails. "I mean, I just wanted to know if one of the laptops would be free any time soon, if not it's absolutely no-"
"No, no, it's not that, it's just that..." Their eyes return to the laptop screen and their right middle finger skillfully goes about its business on the touchpad. "I mean, the cult's still actively looking for us, and you just got out of a hostage situation. People who get out of hostage situations usually want to, like, call their family..." could it be that they know this from actual experience handling these people? It's funny that their highly adrenaline-heavy and probably sketchy profession only comes up when briefly mentioned like this - and, just like that, it's gone again. "Not send emails."
I let out a short, weak chuckle.
"If you knew the amount of emails I had to send while the cult still had me," I slide my fingers underneath my glasses and rub my burning eyes. "You'd be horrified."
"That charity gala they're making you organize?"
"Mostly. But also college stuff. I'm more worried about the college stuff right now."
I have been confronted with the reality that the cult that kidnapped me is making me coordinate a charity party several times before. But I'd never heard those words coming from someone far removed enough from the context to really grasp the absurdity of it.
I feel almost... ashamed? Do I fear Vanderwood will assume I'm partially to blame for the absurdity?
Sometimes I wish I could pretend to be a little more normal in front of them.
I wish we could have met at the grocery store. Gone for the same box of cereal at the same time.
"Go ahead." They push the laptop away from themselves and get up. "I've been meaning to get some more sweet potatoes anyways."
"Yeah man, thanks. Go get your proteins."
They pass me on their way towards the kitchen and I take their seat. I hear the metallic sound of the oven opening up - I open incognito mode - and their voice coming from past the archway.
"Still. Your priorities surprise me sometimes."
"What, cause I'm still doing college stuff right now?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah," I employ my mocking tone, "tell me you don't have Asian parents without telling me you don't have Asian parents. If I was still in the cult when the term started, my dad would still give me a hard time about missing it."
The caramel scent of the baked potatoes fills the room as they return.
"Wait - that's right," they take a seat on the table across from me, "you're on spring break right now." Two parted baked potatoes with spoons dug into their orange meat. One for them, the other set down neatly by the laptop. And I try my very best to hide the smile I feel coming up, because - what were their exact words again? 'You're pretty bad at pretending you don't care'? And the response that's been echoing in my mind ever since: it takes one to know one. God. I open my inbox. "Do they still have you do 'college stuff' while you're on break?"
"It's - uh - it's thesis stuff," I reply absent-mindedly while I scroll for the email containing the museum contact information. When I look up from the screen, their eyes are fixed on me, and I realize they're expecting me to continue. "It's - uh..."
"You don't have to tell me." They break eye contact. "I didn't mean to pry."
"No - hey, I pry into your shit all the time. It's only fair. I'm just kinda... slow right now." I blink hard. "Anyways, my thesis. Have I told you what it is?"
"You haven't."
"So basically... I'm building a timeline of autobiographical - I mean, basically it's letters and journal entries from the Vietnam War. Some museums and Estates hold those as like museum shit. Right? God fuck it I'm doing such a bad job at talking right now." I let out a nasal laugh. They smile. Like, proper, both corners of their lips curved smile. Their laugh lines become visible to me for the first time ever - they stretch downwards towards their chin a little, and I have to put conscious effort into not melting into my seat like a shoujo anime girl. "Uhm," Right, words. Verbs, nouns. I find myself rubbing my eye again. "Historical artifacts, is the term I was looking for. To be able to see some of them, you have to schedule viewings in advance. That's what I'm trying to do right now."
"You have to schedule viewings? Never heard of anything like that."
"Yeah. I've already had a couple of those, and the conclusion I've come to is that some families don't want word to get out about the war crimes they were doing just a generation ago."
"I see. You've chosen a pretty lighthearted theme for your thesis."
"Tell me about it." I stretch my arms over my head for a second. Then, I grab my sweet potato. "If I had to choose a topic today I'd have picked something infinitely more fluffy." I was a different person when I started working on this. A completely different person. "I wonder if you could write a thesis about - what're those books you like - A Song of Ice and Fire."
"Several."
A natural silence as we eat. The sun is almost completely covered by the treeline we can see from the window at this point. I put the half-eaten potato back down and wipe my hand on my sweater.
"Gross. Who raised you?"
"Happily remarried middle-class parents."
I rub my eyes - again. I gotta stop doing that, it's probably not good for you. They're really tired and dry and uncomfortable. I'm holding my eyebrows up just to keep them open long enough to finish this goddamn email business.
"Hey, look, you look like shit." Their tone of voice is completely neutral. Two in a row, though? Just say you have a crush on me. "Remember what I told you in the car."
You said I was being stupid and inefficient, and that I needed to take the advice I was giving to V about wearing yourself out while trying to help others. The bottom line was that you want me to eat and sleep enough.
"I do. Thanks, mom."
"You know what? That one was on me. I was too nice." With one elbow on the table, they lean over and seize my sweet potato. "No sweet potato for you."
And, 'you bastard,' I think. Because now i have no choice but to grab your arm to stop you, and I'll be thinking about it for the rest of the week.

# ‘GN!READER VALENTINES WITH THE MYSTIC MESSENGER BOYS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🫐 ‘ CONTENT AND WARNINGS
\\ synopsis: what 707, yoosung, zen and jumin would do for valentines!
‘+ genre: fluff
*# warnings: proposal mention in jumins part
Tumblr media
# ‘JUMIN
He’s a big romantic with wealth, this man wouldn’t stop at any lengths to make this valentines perfect for you.
Wakes you up with breakfast in bed, a bouquet of roses sitting in the middle of the tray, with your favourite food(s) around it.
A perfect start to your perfect valentines.
He’s even more sweet the whole day, boxes of chocolates and a card, all high end.
He lets it be known how much he appreciates and loves you, and how he’s so grateful you joined RFA and how grateful he is that you two met.
Elizabeth also gets spoiled on Valentine’s Day but shhh…
Gifts you jewellery, outfits, shoes.
Doesn’t expect anything back from you, but if you do get him something, no matter how small it is, he will be ridiculously happy.
When it’s time for dinner, he takes you to a fancy restaurant, will make sure to shower you in compliments about your outfit.
Let’s you pick anything off the menu, ensuring that he will pay for it.
He’d be the type to propose to you on valentines, and so if you’re not already married/engaged, he’d be there, down on one knee at dinner with a ring box in hand.
“Y/N you make me the happiest man alive, I’ve never felt so free than with you, would you do the honour of being my spouse?”
Something awfully sweet like that. Valentines with Jumin are the best.
Tumblr media
# ‘ZEN
I imagine he’d take a day off of work, and while not as romantic as Jumin, he would try his damn hardest to make the day about you.
Flowers, your favourite flowers, in the morning when he comes over to see you, along with a valentines teddy bear that’s probably way too big to fit in your bed.
A card with a sweet note telling you how much he appreciates and loves you.
Will play music and dance around with you in your front room.
And if you get him something in return, he’d softly smile, telling you just how wonderful you truly are.
Lunch at a quaint cafe, ordering sweet treats for the two of you, definitely trying out their valentines special.
He’d take you to the cinemas or a theatre to watch something, obviously romantic, maybe a rom-com.
When you come home, he’d run you a nice warm bath with scented candles and bubbles.
He treats you like royalty the whole day.
Tumblr media
# ‘YOOSUNG
He’s a broke student; please have mercy.
You two definitely have an indoors date.
But he gives you a stuffed toy and a valentines card at first, and then for the rest of the day?
You start by cooking breakfast together, waffles, pancakes, probably with scoops of icecream.
He apologised for not being able to do much more, but I doubt you’re angry.
If you get him something, he will be jumping up and down in glee.
If you’re a gamer like him, he’d probably set up some games for you to play, and sets up a nice date night there.
It’s super sweet, he carries you in any game you two play, trying to make sure to enjoy your time.
But if you’re not a gamer, expect movies and cuddles.
He’d put on your favourite movie, grabbing the warmest and cosiest blanket he owns, fully sets up a pillow fort for you two to watch it in.
He really loves spending the day with you, even though it’s not fancy, it’s still nice.
Tumblr media
# ‘707
Okay, I feel like there’s two ways this could go so I’ll do both.
But no matter what, he’d get you chocolates and or icecream to start your day.
If you get him something, he’d be grinning like mad, just so thankful he has you in his life.
First off, a movie date at home.
I imagine he has one of those big projector things and so he projects it onto a blank wall.
Puts in a movie he thinks you’d both enjoy, it doesn’t even have to be a romantic movie, it can be horror or whatever aslong as he knows you would like it.
But that’s if it’s later in the relationship; he’s a major introvert and would definitely feel more comfortable inside.
However, if it’s earlier in the relationship, he would push himself out of his comfort zone to impress you more.
Takes you to a theme park!!
Probably makes you go on all the big and scary rides (sorry).
But he takes those photobooth pictures with you! And they’re so cute.
Definitely has one where you’re kissing.
Would put it on his wall/in his phone case.
He just loves looking at you.
I also feel like, whether it’s movies or a theme park, he would take you star gazing after.
I’m not sure why, it just feels like a very him thing to do.
Tells you all about the different constellations and what they represent.
He’s so lovely.

@juminweek2019
Day Four: Ludus
For those who don't remember, Galen is Jumin's 6'7" Greek boyfriend
Jumin could admit that he didn't have a regular childhood growing up. Between the lines of nannies and tutors and getting sent to an island for character growth, he knew that the average child didn't grow up with his level of privilege.
Galen, on the other hand, was a self described "street rat". Jumin hated when he described himself like this, but Galen would always shrug.
"It's in the past. We're here now." He would say, crooked grin and dimples showing.
"Now c'mon, my star. Let's go play." Galen said brightly, pulling Jumin along. He and Galen were at an amusement park today. Any discomfort created by his casual outfit was put at ease by Galen's hand in his.
When Jumin had admitted that he'd never ridden a rollercoaster before, Galen seemed to take personal affront.
"Even when I was with Yaya there was a shitty little place on the pier." He grinned before whispering conspiratorial. "Me and the other kids would sneak in sometimes."
Needless to say, they didn't sneak in today. The first coaster they had ridden was a calmer one. "No loops or twists" Galen had promised him with a wink.
The ride had been... exhilarating. The wind through his hair and the speed of the coaster had given Jumin a giddy feeling. When they'd gotten off the coaster Jumin could feel Galen's eyes on him.
"Is everything okay?" Jumin asked. Galen blinked in surprise, his face flushing and he scratched his nose.
"It's just. You looked so happy. It was cute." Jumin felt his face flush in return and he took Galen's hand without a word, the giddiness from the coaster returning. Galen was the only one that made him feel this way. Made him feel cute.

VADD NOVEL SPOILER ALERT ❗❗❗
After reading those chapters (158-159), seeing this cover hurts like hell. Eckles was (mind the past tense) my favourite male to ship with Penelope. (My overall fave has always been Callisto but he's like PERFECT so) I knew Eckles was twisted, when he threw those tantrums because Penelope wasn't spending time with him in s3, I thought 'it's fine, he's like this'. I always liked the yandere character type, after all. But the way that scene it's written in the novel, the way he victim-blames Penelope for his crimes is... too much.
"I don't care if I have to become a traitor who sells out his kingdom and his people..." (...)
"I want you, Penelope Eckhart." (...) "That's what you've done to me. You made me this way, and every time you pretend not to notice what you're doing to me, wearing that innocent look on your face... It makes me lose my mind, but what else can I do? You're still so lovely..."
Those words are terrifying. He says he loves her, he says she's lovely but in the same sentence he says that he hates her. The description of the favorability bar being a combination of love and hate (emphasis on hate), and how Eckles goes from praising her to blaming her for things she has no fault of... (she used him, but she never told him to kill Ivonne or betray his people!) it's so well written. I like to draw the line between fiction and reality, and I always like, in fiction, some toxic dynamics I would never condone in real life, but... The way it's written in this novel is too realistic to enjoy in a "romantic" way.
Tumblr media
I feel like sometimes yandere characters are written through lenses that make them enjoyable despite their wrongdoings. Allendis from TAE is first rejected from the FL and then he goes crazy. This doesn't justify him of course, but it makes you feel sympathy, in a way. Jumin from MysMes never actually blames MC in his bad ending.
I love the narrative in VADD because there's just no way to feel sympathy for Eckles. As much as I liked him, as much as I wanted him to be ~the one~ for Penelope, it just crashed down the moment he revealed his true self. It made an impact to me because I felt as she felt. I knew some spoilers about him, I knew he was the yandere, but I didn't know it was this intense. That's probably what Penny felt too. She knew he was sick in the head and she wanted to just use him to escape. He fooled us with his fake submissive demeanor and destroyed us in the end. Penny, because she couldn't escape through him, me because I actually thought his love for her would eventually turn out to be good-natured. But those words he said to her cannot be excused, not even in fiction.
They are still an interesting toxic relationship to explore! And I LOVE the parallels between this relationship and the one she has with the man the myth the legend Callisto. The author did such a good job with the romance description in this series, I feel that, probably due to the whacky translation, the brutality of some scenes mellowed out. But I can't wait to see this in the webtoon

ROUND 4, MATCH 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut!
Jumin Han
Propaganda
manipulative and abusive asshole
He's a stuck up trust fund baby, and won't take no for an answer. His route is objectively the WORST
He is in love with his cat and constantly compares you with the damn cat😭 like an actual fucking feline animal that’s not nickname 😭😭😭
unapologetic member of the bourgeoisie. makes his secretary cut her hair and wear glasses so he can take her seriously. 0/10 hate this man so much it has been 7 years since i first set eyes on him and to this day i have carried this with me in silence. my hatred for this man has been my burden. my old mysme mutuals will never know.
ok so fun fact when i tried to play jumin’s route i hated it so fucking much i abandoned ship on day 7. this is a grown ass man who is far too immature (and has too much money) to be romanceable like can he see a therapist first? i’m not his therapist. i’m not. i’m not his cat either. why are you locking me in your penthouse does this LOOK like amnesia: memories. also i hate that in order to gain favor ability you have to act like a jerk to other characters at times and also i love jaehee (his secretary that he makes do Fucking Everything For Him) too much to want to date him romantically. imo he’s a great character in other routes, but in his own it’s just…. :/ . did i mention i hate the whole “getting locked in his house” thing. 
he makes jaehee do so much shit that is WAAAAYYY outside the scope of her job description???? she’s his personal assistant. he makes her take care of his personal — completely unrelated to the company— projects related to cats, makes her watch his pet cat at HER APARTMENT OUTSIDE OF WORK HOURS (as far as i can tell he didnt pay her extra for that, though she does get paid overtime) which is so wildly entitled of him to do, but he’s a rich man so. in every route except for jaehee’s and his own— in jaehee’s she quits altogether and in jumin’s she gets a long awaited and well deserved vacation— he piles her with so much more work than is reasonable. for example: in another story she is tasked with— on top of her regular work tasks — to become the HEAD OF AN IT DEPARTMENT FOR COMBATTING HACKERS. also, he constantly pushes zen —someone who is very, very allergic to cats— to interact with his cat. like he wants to take his pet cat to their charity party/event, and seems very blase and uncaring and disbelieving to the fact that he’s allergic, and that other attendees could be too! and as another example: in zen’s route he offers zen a job when he’s looking work— but it has to do with modelling for a cat food brand, and interacting with cats. which he’s explicitly told jumin he doesn’t want to do. they reconcile and it leads to zen giving in and doing the modeling job :/ now, i don’t dislike cats— i love cats! but i’m also very allergic to them (fur, dander, and saliva) so this hits a little close to home. but constant exposure to an allergen can trigger chronic asthma and asthma attacks, and chronic asthma can be very damaging to someone. it can damage their lungs! it’s not a matter to be trivialized! and even if zen’s allergies were “minor,” jumin’s constantly trying to force someone who’s set up a boundary time and time again about not wanting to interact with cats to interact with them and while it is a small example — at least in comparison to the rest of his route— of him ignoring/overstepping/bulldozing past boundaries, it still makes me itch!
Sam Dalton
Propaganda
Spineless af, no personality but 'horny' for the mc. pretty shit at being a parent. Literally cheated on their fiance, but the fiance is made out to be the 'bad guy'. Character is gender customisable but is written so white male coded urgh. is terribly jealous but not in a cute way. just really annoying. much rather choose their ex wife or fiancé over them any day
He (like it was said before customizable but white man coded) was so bad when I played the game. He’s the only love interest of the story, but after a single chapter I decided I wasn’t interested in him. I went out of my way to avoid any romantic options with him. For me the game was just “The Nanny”. But, despite all my romance dodging, I ended up with a scene where he says word for word “My hands aren't clean, [character name]. How can they be, when I think about you every time I touch myself? Or when I want to murder the next man who touches you?”. BIG RED FLAG. Also at one point, Sam can give you the option to DITCH HIS 9 YEAR OLD SONS BIRTHDAY PARTY and hook up with him!

I would 1000% be down to date Tara, but alas... I also think its incredibly funny how down bad all the interests feel, it was certainly something replying to a Tweet and seeing affection go up, they are not normal, but thats not necessarily a bad thing, it certainly is How It Is with these things, adjklnadlkjn-
y'know what's funny, i usually do not get super into things that are romance centered. occasionally i'll have little hyperfixations on something like titanic 1997 or descendants of the sun but on the whole the stuff that i brainrot on heavily is usually some action/adventure with a little romance sprinkled in. and then through fanfic i'll lean heavily into the romance part lol.
and then i played mysme and i was like. holy crap. do i like this? do i enjoy the romance genre? i had jumin han brainrot for at least half a year before i watched my hero (sidenote getting into a new brainrot actually feels like cheating on my last one). and i tried playing obey me and wasn't into it, but love and deepspace has sucked me in so so deeply even though i think if someone was selling it to me like "these three guys love the mc so much they act like they absolutely can't live without her despite this being the literal first arc of the story" i don't think i'd be interested.
but man have they done it so well. they have animated and created the personalities for these men so incredibly well. whenever i'm selfshipping or thinking about x reader stuff or whatever, i never brainrot on more than one character aside from like maybe reading smut about them. like i could read the occasional zen oneshot but jumin had my heart completely and forever and there was no competition. erwin or dabi thirsts or even fluff/angst stuff is totally okay but i was not investing time in anyone but levi. but now i genuinely can't decide between these three. they're all too perfect and they all hit a certain archetype of fictional man that i go insane for. i'm in hell and nirvana and rafayel is my male primadonna.

Okay, you surprised me with how cool your Unknown headcanons were.
How about some yandere headcanons (including NSFW if you feel like it) with Ray? Maybe a result of his first Bad Ending?
Hello again darling!
It makes me happy to hear that you enjoyed the Unknown headcanon! I haven’t unlocked this bad ending personally but I tried my best to get an understanding of what happens, hope you’ll like this ^^
WARNING!
Slight NSFW, obsessive tendencies and unhealthy relationships! Another story spoilers! Our marshmallow boy needs therapy T.T
Yandere Ray Bad ending 1
- Bend him and break him for your happiness. Your laughter is like oxygen to him, without it he cannot live.
- Ray is worthless if he can’t do this right. This is all he wanted, to serve you, continue worship you and you bending him to your will.
- Anything to satisfy you. He is desperate to please you, he’ll work harder than before, he’ll cut down on sleep, 3 hours sleep is too much anyways. If he can spend that time wasted on sleep than he is no different from that red haired slacker.
- By dominating him you are keeping him in check, especially from getting ideas. He should not think on his own or question anything, continue to keep him at bay, just like how the Saviour has done up till this point.
- Ray is delusional, impossibly so! He believes this is love, that he is meant to attend to your needs and desires. Please use him! Use him more! To your hearts content until he is useless. Ray knows he is worthless yet you show him mercy by letting him stay by your side.
- It only means that you like him, right?
- Demand more from him. Don’t let him rest until you are truly satisfied. As long as you keep giving him attention. Don’t. ever. stop.
- He worships the very floor you walk on and the air you breath, you deserve the best of the best. He shall provide you of everything you’ll ever need and more!
- He is so happy to be by your side! It gives Ray great joy to be of use to you. It pains him that his mortal body is barely going, the exhaustion and unhealthy habits he has developed is causing him to get behind on work and serving you. It’s unacceptable to the standard that he has.
- He is by far the most delusional person. He always insists your words are absolute, a holy scripture; the law, his law. You are a goddess and his is the worshipper. You are his salvation and he defends everything you do. You could be stepping on him, quite literally and he will deem it as a nessecity for your feet to not get sullen or dirtied by the floor (which is thoroughly clean, by all means). Ray would never allow you in a room he thinks to be beneath you or even a little dusty, only the absolute best for you is to be provided. It���s a job he takes very seriously.
- Ray is completely devoted to you and he knows no limits.
- He is so delusional it’s pitiful, he just doesn’t understand that you don’t like him, it simply isn’t a possibility in his mind.
- He puts you so high up on a pedestal that his mind fills in the gaps for you, that you deep down love him too. That you do the things you do to keep him from getting distracted by you and actually get work done, a task of most importance to serve you.
- Ray respects your needs and wishes and wouldn't question any of them. No words are above yours, it is certainly true, especially now that the Saviour is favouring you and deemed you worthy as someone equal to her. He couldn’t be more proud.
- As time passes Ray finds himself begging more often, fear strikes him when he sees your bored, displeased face. He is certain that he could do better, even if it costs his health.
- Anything as long as you don’t make that displeased expression.
- Praises from you are rare but well worth it on the very few occasions you do. Ray has them all memorised and it just makes him fall for you all over again. It energises him to keep working hard. To serve you to the best of his ability.
- But when you give a displeased look and say that he isn’t of any use to you, that his performance has been decreasing lately, he'd cry and beg you to stay. Kneeling down, clutching at your legs in a desperate hold, saying that he's too weak and pathetic for not being able to make you smile anymore. Calling himself useless and selfish for begging you to let him stay by your side and not leave him alone even when he is worthless. It’s the greates of all mercies that could ever bestow him, for him to remain by your side even if he is insignificant.
- He is never allowed to directly meet your eyes unless you give him permission to raise his head up, instead he always has to bow down to you, and he goes to the extent of bowing on his knees and kiss your feet.
- He relishes in your touch.
- He is completely and utterly obsessed with you. If you thought he was obsessive before then now, as a loyal servant of yours, he will be utterly intoxicated with you.
Slight NSFW
- What you partake in is a ritual, one involving your pleasure only.
- For you to do whatever with him, wether that is tying him up and never letting him cum, or simply having him pleasure you in all the right spots but denying him your touch. It’s always about your pleasure and your mood. Depending on how generous you feel he might receive a reward too.
- There is nothing out of place or awkward in whatever role is assigned to him and Ray is more than happy to pleasure you. It fuels his pride that he is able to make you feel so good and even better that he gets to touch you!
- To make sure he isn’t lacking he will study more, being gullible and dense is something he can afforded, he’d be damned if he turned you off.
- Ray is quick to learn how to seduce you, how to push your buttons just in the right way, but he is just as much vulnerable to be tempted by you.
- You are in absolute control of him, if you want him to be assertive it is still under the control you have over him.
- He has fully submitted himself to you; body, mind, soul, and the most important one, his heart.

bleeding paint - banter #1
Hi! BP is the title of the rewrite of V's route and after ending that I'm working on, where V is not romanced. Posts tagged banter will be just that - drabbles between two characters that you can read in any order and nothing too plot-heavy happens. I do them to get a feel for the characters and they're a lot of fun to write, so I thought I'd share!
This one's really didactic and on your face. Enjoy :D
Characters: CMC (Jake Park), Vanderwood
Setting: the cabin's porch, smoke break, at around what would be day 9
Word count: 758
Tumblr media
[Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena]
"So what do you do, aside from agent supervision?"
"Classified." They exhale smoke while squinting at the treeline. "I can tell you I do a fair bit of in-depth background checking, though. Psychological and personality profiling, too, kind of."
"Oh, hey, that's fun. What's my psychological and personality profile?"
"Hard to say unless I'm given specific guidelines. Like, why you committed a crime, or how to best..." a short pause as they gesture. "Get information out of you."
"You were gonna say torture?"
"Don't ask questions like that."
Yes ma'am. Sorry ma'am. Was I offensive or was I right? Another short pause - awkwarder, this time. Then, they continue.
"Well, I guess there are a few things I ended up picking up from you. Out of habit. For example, I can tell you had a mostly healthy childhood. Like, you were never a social outcast or something. Healthy enough to have developed appropriate emotional responses, but unhealthy enough that you ended up an artist." I scoff. "Probably middle-class, happily remarried divorced parents or something."
"That's bullshit. Very pseudo-scientific."
"Well, profiling isn't exactly a science, it's more... pattern recognition through experience." And here I was, thinking I was so unique and complex. "Was way out of the ballpark?"
This is pretty funny. If only it were at anyone else's expense.
"...no. But I'll have you know I only have one happily remarried parent."
"The one you grew up with?"
"I hate you." I'm smiling.
They do the thing where they let a little bit of air out of their nose. "Maybe I should have started with something lighter. Let me think..." My gaze follows their cigarette as they take another drag. "I can tell you're a social and empathy-driven person."
"Empathy-driven, huh?"
"Yeah. It's how you process the world around you."
"I guess. I never thought about it, though. Isn't that true for basically everyone?"
"Definitely not. Just more often true for people in humanities and arts."
"Stop with the artist shit!" I laugh.
"You asked! You asked me about profiling."
And you love talking. All it takes is just a little prodding and you can run with any conversation. You say you're bored, but I think you're lonely, too. But unlike you, I'm apparently empathy-driven, so I know it wouldn't be appropriate to say that out loud.
"What are you driven by?" I ask.
"Paychecks."
I look over at them.
"Just kidding. Logic."
I shrug and take a drag. If you say so.
"Well, I mean, not exactly, but... Yeah."
"But you shouldn't talk about yourself?"
"Precisely. Thank you."
"You're welcome." You want to, though. You love talking so much. I prod. "Not that I would tell anyone, anyways."
They hesitate for a second, looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. Then, they bite. "Well..." Beautiful. "It's hard to tell when you're analyzing yourself. I'm definitely more logic-oriented than you..."
"Ouch. Thank you so much."
"Oh, don't start. Having emotional intelligence as an aptitude is just as valuable as an aptitude for logical thinking." I'm very surprised they think that way, even though I agree. "I'm more wired towards logical thinking than you are, which, big deal. But I've seen logic-based people, and I'm not one of those, either."
"You sound like an analytical people person to me. Like, you're... charismatic or whatever, but you have diagrams for social interaction." I'm reminded of Ray roughly explaining some lines of code to me. If parameter at X, then perform response Y. "You get things done."
"Exactly. Exactly. I get things done. I'm a practical person. I wonder if... 'material condition-oriented' would be a distinct enough classification to earn its own category. The way I interact with the world is... I have objectives, and I do what I have to do."
And yet, I can't think of one thing a person like you could gain from talking to a person like me.
"As opposed to what you want to do?"
"Getting deep here."
"Yeah. I'm such an artsy philosophical type, so you can count on me to take conversations in that general direction."
They press their lips together in acknowledgement. There you go - I've set the stage for you to ignore the question. You're welcome, again. I know not to take things too far.
They're a force of change. But not an idealist. Quick to accept things they deem out of their control. Maybe quick to deem things out of their control, too.
I bet they're good at taking orders.
Focus, Jake. What the fuck was that just now. Focus.
