[Links it]

It's the worst thing I've ever seen!!

It's not that I feel guilty about having an emotion.
I just feel bad about hurting other people's feelings.

[maskreant]

aren't those two things related? even though you're obviously mad at the content, shouldn't you be allowed to express it in a dislike?

your feelings are hurt, Elliot.

you're the one hurting.

[fiddlestick]

[There's a pause on his end]

...Fine. I'll hit the dislike button again.

But I don't see what good punching Minato would do. It'd just make things worse.

[maskreant]

but you would feel better.

then Minato will know his lesson.

i'm sure it wouldn't exactly hurt, either? just an expression of your displeasure.

[ Akira is the devil on the shoulder. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Guess we can add "attempted to corrupt a disney princess" to his list of crimes because Elliot's basically one.]

Well...

What if Minako gets mad? It's her brother.

And she has two dragons.

[maskreant]

[ Rude, but true. Rebel, Elliot. ]

she can fight me.

we're not punching him to break his nose, by the way. just wanted to make sure we're on the same page.

i was thinking like a punch to the shoulder that kind of hurts, but doesn't bruise. there's no way she would be mad over that.

[fiddlestick]

[Okay shoulder punch doesn't sound TOO bad, but...]

...Why don't you check with her first?

If she's okay with it, I'll do it. But I don't want to cause trouble when Minako and I work together.

Or have you two fight.

[maskreant]

okay, i asked her.

we just need to wait for a response.

[fiddlestick]

Oh.

You actually did it?

[ W E L P. ]

You want me to punch him that bad??

[maskreant]

[ Let's start with this question: ]

have you ever punched someone in your life, Elliot?

[fiddlestick]

Uh.
Well, they made me throw punches at military camp? A-and in self-defense class.

They never landed though...

[maskreant]

that sounds like a no to me.

it isn't as bad as you think it'll be. just do it playfully, but enough to startle him.

[fiddlestick]

Uh
Okay, let's put aside the fact I'm extremely weak for a moment.
That sounds more like a friendly punch than a "I'm mad at you" punch.

[maskreant]

you have to be subtle, Elliot.

sometimes the strongest retaliation is through passive-aggressive gestures.

[ ... ]

i'm teaching you some mean things, but it's for the greater good of yourself.

[fiddlestick]

(´Д` )
Idk Akira.
I don't think he'd care enough to pick up on any passive aggression.

[maskreant]

you're right. you have to sneak your way into his heart then betray him.

jokes aside, did you dislike that video?

[fiddlestick]

Ha ha. Between school, music, and magic practice-- I really don't think I have time for that elaborate scheme.

Yes I did. See?

[maskreant]

i'm so proud.

also, why don't we practice together?

[fiddlestick]

Practice what?








You know, it is an old video. What if the person's grown to regret what they did and me disliking it only reminds them of something they feel bad about? [ALREADY REGRETTING IT]

[maskreant]

you know they don't get alerted about the dislikes. don't worry about it too much.

practice ~magic~

[fiddlestick]

Really? That's a relief...I'll try not to worry about it then...

Oh! Haha, that could be fun!

[maskreant]

yeah, don't sweat it.

definitely. just tell me whenever you're planning to train and stuff.

[fiddlestick]

Okay, will do!
