... Does it count if I kinda sparred with Jack and kiiinda went for it for real?
I hate you sometimes.
Matt, using social media isn't as simple. It takes a lot of talent and time to get followers, trust me. And marketing usually has a bunch of people pretending they understand how younger people think. Even if they're our same age.
All I know is that Peter keeps bragging about his Spidey posts and followers and I know for a fact that man puts less thoughts into the puns he posts than what toppings he adds on pizza.
He was. A little too well. He was pretending to be a noob but when I went for the kill? He managed to avoid it. Turns out he is pretty great with a sword.
I'm so shocked, Matthew.
Yeah, well but people LOVE Spidey posts and he offers original content. Of course he's gonna get a shitton of followers.
Interesting. He doesn't strike me as the sorta guy into that kinda thing. But he's rich, right? Maybe fencing is just something all you rich people do.
My mother told me it's not that people are jealous, I really can just be that annoying.
I will admit the channel or whatever you call it where people could send warnings has come in handy a time or two, even if it sounds like a pain to figure out which of those threats are real and which are shitposts.
I'm guessing he hasn't stayed in touch with your mom since everything happened.
Ha. Well, you're right that she didn't raise me for a long time. She's one of the nuns at the orphanage I ended up at. Go figure. She's now Mother Superior there and good luck to those children getting away with anything. I visit from time to time.
I love what technology can do to help people. Not even just with disabilities, I think the dissemination of information can be a very powerful tool when used properly. I just don't have the patience for a lot of shit posts. I'd rather read a book or listen to music. Some of what you send is funny, but I wouldn't want to sit and do it for an hour.
I feel kinda guilty because I was so shitty towards him.
Did your mom know about you? Sorry, I'm -- Your life would make a pretty epic movie, Matt.
Oh, yes they are. Terrible taste all along. If only you could see the shirts you wear sometimes. And the ties? Pretty sure that whoever sold you those was pranking you.
It sounds like you both could have acted better. He didn't exactly do himself any favors leaping into your life like he did. It's one thing to date your mom, it's another to presume he can already start acting like your parent. I'd have been upset too, even if how you handled it probably wasn't the best way if it involved attempted stabbing.
My life is ridiculous, I know. At least not as ridiculous as Danny's. And yeah. My mom knows now.
Diana and Leanne at the suit store would never steer me wrong. We have an understanding. I bring them exotic gelato flavors and they make me look decent.
[Matt cannot help but flirt, even when it's harmless. Doesn't everyone know store workers by name and bring them treats and debate the ethics of the cat adoption system when needing new attire?]
[And this is why Matt is one of her favorite people in the world. The guy listens, remembers well Kate's old rants about Jack and the reasons why she had hated him as his relationship with Eleanor became more serious.]
I'm still not over that stupid book on how to be a step-father. [That had been ridiculous.] In my defense, I only tried to stab him when I thought he was behind the murder mom framed him for.
I'll be the judge of that once I meet Danny. And I so wanna meet your mom.
... But they don't do your hair, do they? It shows.
Gotcha, yeah that puts the attempted stabbing into better context. The book really was a poor idea, though.
Danny got his powers in Brigadoon by punching a dragon's heart. He also would walk barefoot around New York with you getting hepatitis, so that level of ridiculousness matches when you meet him.
No, I have Freddie the Third do my hair. Funny story, he's not the third in his family's line with that name, he just calls himself the third because his father and grandfather are all barbers. His brother is the black sheep in the family by going into the jewelry business instead.
No. According to Danny, a real live dragon in a magical world that can only be reached every ten years. I think it was ten years. I'm not asking him to verify.
I don't believe that. I bet most people you interact with have an interesting story. You should bring those who help you shop or who do your hair gelato and ask them questions more often.
It sounds like you've just been having poorly made candy. No offense to those where that's all they can afford, but if you spend the money, you can get plenty of it that doesn't have chemicals. Which does deserve a commentary on the systemic health issues of the disenfranchised and how it's perpetuated by consumerism but I am too tired for that talk right now.
What's your favorite kind of fictional dragon?
Maybe I'll invest in a gelato machine and make it myself. Even if it made no sense on my kitchen counter it's not like I'd be able to see it and notice.
Ok, I'm gonna stop you there? It's impossible to have this kind of conversation with someone that doesn't understand a rule as simple as: "the unhealthier the yummier". It's science, Matt.
Huh... Well, the baby dragons in Game of Thrones were adorable. But... OKay, which dragons have I...? Oh, yeah. Mushu, obviously. And there was this movie I loved to watch as a kid, Dragonheart? I loved that stupid dragon and it made me cry so much.
It'll make total sense once we're watching someone on your laptop and enjoying gelato.
There's nuance to the conversation, Kate. A cake isn't as healthy as a salad, but not all cakes are made equal in their health content. Clean ingredients that are locally sourced are better for a person and often taste better too compared to processed shit that's cheaper. That's true even in desserts and candy.
I liked the dragon from The Neverending Story. I just liked that whole story, though.
You know what we should do? You should take Heather to a wedding cake test. Like, real expensive place, pretend you're getting married, you get to taste all these free samples.
And since I'm your little sister I come along and taste them too.
Them screw it, we are watching it together. Before you keep complaining about my reality shitty tv.
... [Oddly enough, she does know what he means. But it's a safe position, isn't it? Like friendzoning yourself and being happy to do so, because the alternative is just wrong and you're happy that your friend has a healthy relationship for once. Even if it's on a rough patch.]
Not sure they allow friends to come along to that kinda thing.
Yeah, and you also interrupt by doing those... [She lets out a loud sigh that sounds more like a groan.]

I really need to meet your mom. She sounds awesome and I need to tell her that really, none of this is her fault.
Honestly, Matt. You need to start embracing technology. And even shitposting. You have to admit that some of the video memes I send you are awesome.
no subject
Ha. Well, you're right that she didn't raise me for a long time. She's one of the nuns at the orphanage I ended up at. Go figure. She's now Mother Superior there and good luck to those children getting away with anything. I visit from time to time.

no subject
Wait, your mom is a nun? And did you know that while you were at the orphanage?
Oh, Matt Murdock got his degree because he is really into culture and doesn't have time for memes, yeah.
no subject
I didn't know it while I was at the orphanage. I found out many, many years later. It's a long story.
He has his interests, which just because they aren't your interests doesn't mean they're better or worse.

.... I'm sorry, did you say dragon? Dragon how? As in a ninja clan or something?
Well, one thing is for sure, blind people meet a lot of interesting people. Even more so than the regular new yorker.

Are you telling me he can do the maths and we could actually meet a real life dragon??? MATT!!!
Oh, great. So now you're calling me superficial?
no subject
Winter is not coming, Kate.
I'm not calling you anything, I'm saying gelato is a great conversation starter.
no subject
It's Kateleesi to you.
once we are done with all this shit you better start a convesation with me by bringing gelato.

no subject
Wait, is that the one that looks like a dog and... Oh, yeah, I loved that movie! I haven't watched it in a lifetime.
Neverending Story, clearly.
no subject
I haven't seen it in a long time, either. I remember liking the book as a kid, too.
no subject
And since I'm your little sister I come along and taste them too.
Them screw it, we are watching it together. Before you keep complaining about my reality shitty tv.
no subject
Wouldn't you pretending to be my little sister be weird? [He can't, or doesn't want to, explain why it feels wrong. It just does.]
I don't complain! I get baffled. And depressed. And I judge humanity a little for its existence. That's all.
