[ 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.
