at least, i think its fine not having set plans means you still have the potential to do a lot of different things youre not like me, locked into one thing thats do or die
[ is football that dramatic? well... ]
not that im complaining, i prefer it to live my life this way... but your mindset is different than mine. everybody should pick the method most compatible with themselves at an individual level, yes?
? is this 20 questions now? okay... do you think here is a higher power? something like god, or destiny? [ um. ]
If you enjoy that one thing and are the best there is at it, isn't that fine too? You *do* enjoy football, right? Just because you have a talent for it, that doesn't mean you should force yourself to endure it.
[ spoken like a true rich girl who has never had to work a single day in his life. he has no scope of soccer money or just how shitty kaiser had it before all these crazy 30 year old men introduced him to sweet, sweet crack in ball form. ]
But, you're quite right. For once in my life, I'm excited about the future. The possibilities before me seem endless. I like to have everything planned out to my satisfaction in order to minimize the need for risky or foolish moves...but you already know that. I *am* beginning to appreciate all the ways I've seen people live their lives though.
Well, why not? You're the one who asked first, and what better way to learn about someone than to ask them directly? I've never played a game like this with anyone, so take responsibility and indulge me.
Anyway... I only believe in my own power. If there is a God, they do not stand above me, and I'll defy them without hesitation over and over if I'm not satisfied with what they have to say. (Also, there is no scientific evidence of any such thing existing, so I refuse to subscribe to what is essentially overelaborate superstition)
[ such confidence! a very normal amount of confidence, even. look, if there was a god or if fate is real, he wouldn't be stuck at 5'3" for the rest of his goddamn life. nah....the universe is clearly only governed by spite and chaos..... ]
[ whether or not he enjoys football is, um, an interesting question... he shall be electing to not answer it. kaiser's pretty sure he doesn't... not enjoy it, but he feels neither any intrinsic joy nor agony over just playing the sport. he enjoys what playing the sport brings him, he supposes?? he just doesn't want to get into it... ]
so youre a full on nonbeliever then, i see i think that youre probably right... but also that on the off chance that there IS a god out there, i dont think he cares about humans or any of his other creations. otherwise why would he leave the world like this and not intervene?
[ kaiser @ god: why have you made us... just to suffer...? ]
if you ever happen to meet god or something similar then ill help you depose him -_-
[ while riddle does notice his question more or less went unanswered, he leaves the matter alone because he simply cannot comprehend being as prodigal and powerful as kaiser is, yet not being passionate about the task at hand. riddle himself was never genuinely interested in being a doctor, so even if he would be good at it, being the best was never something cared about achieving. he's certain he will want to be the best at whatever he decides to do, though. ]
Quite right. Should God exist, they are either cruel or negligent. Even if it's out of respect for human will, there are still ways they could have guided humanity during critical moments throughout history. As it is, their providence might as well be nonexistent, and thus unworthy of worship.
Shall we become god and goddess of the universe in their place? ⬅️ (not my question)
[ riddle already knows the answer tbh, and it's a resounding fuck no. he has too much he wants to enjoy and experience on earth, he doesn't have time to be an omnipotent douchebag! ]
I like your tattoo very much. Was the process painful? ⬅️ (my question)
[ he... didn't... but thanks to riddle for making it obvious so he could pick up what was being put down and that what was being put down was not megalomania to a divine degree. ]
as for the tattoo... i dont think getting any of them hurt very much but i also have a pretty high pain tolerance so im not sure if thats a common experience. i do remember the eyeliner felt strange
[ because. yeah. when you care about your aesthetic but are also a bit of a lazyass at heart, sometimes the artist decides to make it semi-canon that your eyeliner is tattooed on. ]
[ maybe once they finish exploring everything the mortal world has to offer, they can kill god and run the universe with the same iron fist they run their supermarket........ ]
That *must* be an uncommon experience. Even if having toned arms makes them easier to tattoo, ultimately there are some parts of the arm that are soft and sensitive no matter how much training you do. And how were you not nervous about letting a needle get so close to your eyes? You really are a madman...
Absolutely not! I don't want to suffer through that kind of pain for any reason.
[ the inside of the arm and the collar bone especially hurt like shit-- riddle knows he would tap out after two sticks. sorry kaiser... no matching bff tattoos :'{ ]
well, i also dont remember that clearly, keep that in mind i think i was generally in mild pain at most times during that time of my life. because of training so much every day
[ not for any other reasons. ahem. ]
if you ever change your mind, let me know ill ask the place that i got my tattoos at to send me the design they used for the roses
[ but riddle knows better than to pry. they can only tackle so many cries for help in a given day, right? ]
I wonder if feeling a pain you *chose* for yourself made it feel different? I can sort of understand in that case. When it's a decision you make for yourself, good or bad, it means much more than what you're used to.
[ just a thought! anyway, even though it's never going to happen, riddle is still trying to imagine himself with a bright red rose tattoo. he has to admit, it would certainly up his bad bitch cred...too bad!!! ]
Having a tattoo that connects us is an enchanting thought, but I don't know where I would even put mine. What do you think is a good spot that wouldn't hurt?
you have a point there... if you think about it, the worst form of pain is when its senseless, right? if somebody cant figure out why theyre in pain, it causes a lot of issues, both from within and from without. but if you can tell yourself that theres a purpose to being in pain, then people can endure it
[ wow, kaiser gained a little self-awareness about the core of his grievous self-harm tendencies there! he'll be sure to record this in his totally normal notebook later to ponder in depth before going to bed, which will surely improve the quality of his sleep. ]
im not sure about where tattoos hurt less to get put, but i guess if i were to pick... on the chest, over the heart? something like that.
Mmm... I fully believe you're correct. At least, that's how I felt for a long time. Pursuing perfection under my mother's rules was painful. Studying day in and day out, getting perfect marks, all on her terms... It all seemed endless. But now, oddly enough, I *enjoy* doing well and seeing the results of my hard work. It's still stressful, but I enjoy it now.
[ at least there are a few more At Least He's Self-Awares in the jar now. riddle is just happy he was able to help his beloved friend gain some enlightenment. is it good enlightenment? ...well, at least they can talk about it tomorrow morning if kaiser isn't feeling especially emotionally constipated.
speaking of emotional constipation, riddle takes a moment to imagine kaiser's tattooed hand pressing against his own bare chest, decorated with a rose and crown-- maybe one of those dainty stick-and-poke kinds in crimson? right over his fluttering heart. while he gets all blushy and moony thinking about it, he fails to realize the spot would absolutely hurt like shit to get done because he has the body mass of a marshmallow. not that it matters since he'd still rather lick a doorknob than get tatted, but it's still a dreamy image!!! 🥺 ]
That would be a poetic place to get it. If I do ever decide to get it done, that's where it'll be. It won't be visible to anyone, which I also like.
i suppose that in conclusion: most things are better when you know that youre doing them for yourself, even the things you dont enjoy. now that i think about it, its not as if i particularly enjoy training... but ive always been able to do more of it than most people...
[ they don't have the drive to be great or any of the mental illnesses that kaiser does. they could never get on this level of the grindset mindset (being on it despite being a natural lazyass). although kaiser thinks that being on it organically, as riddle is, will always be more impressive. ]
most people dont think much about the location, only the symbol itself, its very prescient of you to consider it in advance you could try a temporary tattoo if you wanted to try it out? i forget what its called. the one where they still have to draw on you, not like the kiddie version.
[ white boy doesn't know what henna is, he doesn't know he could get canceled for this :( ]
Quite right. With that in mind, let us both continue working our hardest at the things we don't necessarily enjoy, but must do in order to continue being the best. You know, as someone who dislikes exercise, I find your strength admirable. Always remember that I'm proud of you, alright?
[ just had to make it a little weird there, can't let kaiser go more than a few messages without being reminded there's a crazy needy hot girl obsessed with him. ]
A temporary version? That might not be so bad, as long as it isn't painful. Perhaps I'll give that a go instead. If I ever do, I'll tell you all about it.
[ that's okay, white girl here never would have been able to guess anyway u_u he pwomises not to post screenshots of this convo on twitter ❤️ ]
Well? It's your turn to ask me a question. Come up with something good.
