I am learning how to punch things with Aloy, it's very cool and yes, carthartic.
Being an invulnerable goddess has also helped me not get easily beaten up too, ha!

YEAH. All of that is what happened.
I asked him if he still liked me (middle school like-like) and if he still wanted to go for it.
He said yes, so I guess we are!

Some really bad shit happened to me before I got here and I didn't think I could have something good again.
I don't really know if I deserve it? It's complicated. But I'm glad he's still in.

[righteously]

I don't know who that is, but I'll take your word for it.
Sam could take you out punching too, if you haven't already. I'd kill to hear about you punking his ass out.

Congrats on your sixth grade romance, though. Living the dream.


You deserve it.
I don't know much, but I do know that.

Omg you have to meet her. She's this badass redhaired huntress from a future (?) with robot dinosaurs.
She made this awesome obstacle course to get to her house over all these traps.

I should do that! I'm going to teach him some magic, he can teach me some punching.

It is very cute and middle school, no doubt about it. Butterflies in the stomach and everything.
It's embarrassing. I'm going to write his name in my trapper keeper.

I'm not so sure. You did see my darker side in the AU but that was still me trying to be good.

[righteously]

Wait, that was HER robot dinosaur?!

( The one he fought with Claude. Finally, he's connected the dots. He's connected them. )

My brother knows a little magic, too. You guys should do a little witchy information exchange. He was learning from the strongest one on our world, before she died and became the queen of hell.

Can I ask you a question?

[divinityfrompain]

If you've seen a robot dinosaur, it's probably hers, yeah.
She sometimes rides one around the Horizon.

Queen of Hell? That sounds like quite the step up.

Yeah, shoot.

[righteously]

What the hell is a trapper keeper

[divinityfrompain]

Wait what? Aren't you a kid of like the 80s-90s? That was your era!

They're giant binders where you store things in folders and pockets and people used to decorate it on the outside to appear cool.

[righteously]

I was a high school dropout. I barely ever went to school. I definitely didn't spend money on binders to look cool, I was too busy getting laid.

( He wasn't. )

[divinityfrompain]

LOL.

Okay cool guy.

They were very retro when I was in school, but I loved nerdy organizational system. I was clearly the coolest girl in my school.

[righteously]

I mean, you were probably hot, so I wouldn't rule it out.

[divinityfrompain]

Nah I was queen of the nerds. Academic excellence all the way to Columbia and then Yale.

Obviously also very privileged to be able to do that, but I had grand dreams to be a lawyer and help people.

[righteously]

You still helped people. Just so you know.
After everything.
Sure, there might've been a few close calls, but... I think all in all, you helped people more than you hurt them. That matters.
It matters a lot.

[divinityfrompain]

I wouldn't have, if I didn't have people like you keeping me sane.
I definitely learned a few things from that about how NOT to be.
Did you learn anything from it?

[righteously]

A few things, I think.
I learned how I don't want some things to go.
I learned how much some people matter.
and I learned that I definitely do not plan on signing up to be a god. That's never been me.

[divinityfrompain]

Sometimes you don't have a choice.
I learned that the hard way.
But I wouldn't wish it on other people.
