"Hi, you've reached Shuji Tsushima, and you probably should've texted first if you wanted me to pick up, but leave a message anyway."

never change, mista

[thesettingsun]

Only all the time. It's my native language and all, but Japanese at least has rules.

fortunately he is nearly incapable of doing so

[protegge]

other languages have rules and english is like
ayy lmao
waggles both middle fingers

im ok at english usually but its still confusing sometimes and it pisses me off
i can speak it fine but sometimes understanding it im like ?????? which of these 2232323 meanings is the right meaning

[thesettingsun]

I understand why it's like that, because English is a language that grabs from five thousand other languages and they don't have the same rules, but it's still annoying.

Nonplussed has two meanings that are exactly the opposite of each other.

[protegge]

yeah and everythings pronounced differently
plus a lot of phrases are super fuckin inexact like you could mean ten different things

[thesettingsun]

Ugh, the pronunciation thing is the worst, I learn most new words by reading them and how am I supposed to know how to say them? I should listen to more audiobooks.

[Or talk to people more.]

[protegge]

its a tossup honestly whether itll make sense or be bullshit like
french logic

plus theres only one way to say i love you which is super dumb

[thesettingsun]

That's the part where you need to get flowery as hell. 'Your smile shines brighter than every star', etc.

[protegge]

i dont think i can pull that kind of shit off shuji

[thesettingsun]

Trying to be helpful here.

Wait, do you have someone you're going to confess to?

[protegge]

not really i guess i just wanna be prepared
if somebody meets my eyes across a crowded room and violins start playing i wanna be ready

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji is relieved, and then feels bad that he's relieved because he's not dating Mista, Mista has the right to get a girlfriend. All the girlfriends, if he wants (and they're all okay with it). Shuji should be his wingman.]

I think you'd be fine whatever you said, anyway, as long as you were sincere about it. Maybe don't try the flowery stuff.

[protegge]

i guess maybe

what would you say ?

[thesettingsun]

It'd depend on who it was I was confessing to and why I liked them. People like it when your confessions are personalized to them, it makes it more special than a generic love song.

[protegge]

oh

yeah fair i guess

you ever done it before?

[thesettingsun]

I never had violins play when I met somebody's eyes from across the room, sorry. I've only been in casual relationships, no dramatic love confessions here.

[protegge]

really?

i feel like i fall in love all the time

[thesettingsun]

And you've never introduced me to any of them?? I'm hurt.

[protegge]

well it never really got serious either
not like
introduce to your friends serious

if it did id introduce you i promise

[thesettingsun]

If it ever gets to that point I'd love to met them. Gotta make sure they're good enough for you.

[protegge]

oh yeah ?
what are you gonna do if theyre not ?

[thesettingsun]

Express my concerns?

I can't tell you how to live your life or who to date, I just really want you to be happy.

[...also, he'll feel better if he's losing to somebody close to worthy of Mista.]

[protegge]

i know dude
im just teasing you

[No. This is flirting, Mista. You are flirting.]

[thesettingsun]

[No he's teasing because obviously Mista is 100% heterosexual and would never be interested in Shuji ever.]

Sorry. Should I have said something like 'I'd rescue you from their clutches and we'd ride off into the sunset'?

I don't know if a white horse has a chocobo equivalent. I should look that up.

[protegge]

even if it doesnt youd figure it out
i believe in you
big time hero shuji, i could get into that

[thesettingsun]

Somebody should whisk you off into the sunset sometime. With violins, or the romantic soundtrack of your choice.
