youre right about that
i have you under my microscope and i wont stop hitting the different magnifying options until i understand wtf i am looking at

have you ever owned a pet

[unjilt]

I don't like where this is going.

But yeah, I've owned many pets.
If a zoo counts, I've owned even more.

[outplayed]

and you took care of them yourself?

[unjilt]

Sure.
.........
Well.
Okay.
Not... For everything......

[ he took care of loving them but the rest was not his problem. ]

[outplayed]

then can you be sure that you arent mistaking a sense of fulfillment over taking care of something properly for [ he is NOT using the l word— ] something else.

[unjilt]

Something else?

[ say it (because he doesn't get it). ]

[outplayed]

[ UGHHHHHHHHHH.... ]

maybe its not a crush
maybe you just feel good about taking care of something

[unjilt]

........Do you think I'm his parent or something?

[outplayed]

no?? thats why i asked about pets
but maybe it does mean youd be a [ SHUDDERS ] good parent or something

[unjilt]

You think so?
It's not like I don't think about the future, but thinking about being a parent is a little...

[outplayed]

i thought i was good at twisting the narrative in my favor
but youre making me look like a damn amateur

why the hell not, tell me what are your future dreams then

[unjilt]

Shut up, I'm just a positive person.
How about you tell me yours instead?
And I'm talking personal goals, not professional ones.
None of this “I'll be dead by 30” bullshit, either.

[outplayed]

to get so well known for being the fucking best at something that my continued existence gives people with type a personalities depression over how theyll never have that

ok your turn

[unjilt]

No marriage or kids?

[outplayed]

you cannot possibly think itd be good for society for me to have kids.

[unjilt]

If anything, they'd be really attractive?

[outplayed]

why dont you have an extra kid on my behalf, then.

[unjilt]

Or maybe you should have a kid with me?

[outplayed]

youre leading me on again but: okay
just one?

[unjilt]

Obviously I'm kidding and I can't believe you're making me say it.

Yeah, just one.
You don't want kids, and the truth is I don't, either.
I'd just spoil that kid rotten and give it everything it wants.

[outplayed]

oh, well, agreed.
if i had a kid id never tell it no or that it did wrong or that it cant do whatever it wants

[ this would be so much more heartwarming if he could use something other than 'it'? but. ]

probably for the best then that both of us refrain

[unjilt]

[ reo uses “it” too, so it's fine. ]

Yeah.
The truth is I don't want kids.
I don't want to give my parents the satisfaction.

[outplayed]

already pressuring you to pump out an heir eventually, hm?
they probably shouldve had more kids themselves if they were so worried about it

or are they worried about like
a succession sort of situation lmfao

[unjilt]

[ why is he the second person so mention succession to him smh ]

I like to think they got it so right the first time they knew a second one would only be subpar.
Haha.
Nah, I never asked why they didn't have another kid, but I think they really just straight up don't care that much.
It's like having a kid was a checkmark on their list of things to do, they did it, so they moved on.

[outplayed]

[ the succession memes are too strong, i'm afraid. ]

and did they take care of you personally?
or was that left to others
