I hate this. I hate every single fucking word of that.
Honestly, I don't understand why he doesn't get that he weirds everyone out and to maybe, you know, stoooop being fucking weird? This shit isn't hard.
But it's also a little hard to know exactly what's going on since I'm sure you've realized that Tyler's not exactly... the type to really say what's going on unprompted.
I mean, people can be allowed to be weird, but if it's making other people uncomfortable, they should sure as fuck slow their roll.
But then, Solus doesn't think we're real people anyway. Ugh. "Solus" rather. Fucking-- *Greek Pluto.*
[He sighs and rubs his brow.]
But yeah, no, that's-- that's Tyler all right. God, is it stupid that I'm mad about their friendship? I mean, I'm friends with Hythlodaeus now, more or less. So you'd think we'd be even. But it's just--
He thinks Tyler's *so* much better than us, you know? Like, we're trash and yet somehow Tyler's good and just-- Fuck! I mean goddamn it, Tyler's killed more people than *me*. But no, *I'm* the one that's garbage. And you're the one that's a *creature*.
You do know I have no idea what this italicizing Greek and Pluto shit means, right?
One of them was willing to at least put some lip service to apologizing while the other will do no such thing. There's the difference. That's the difference. Which might be why one is pissing me off way more than the other. I don't like either one of them, but there's a tolerance level there.
Darling, I've probably killed more people than you and him combined. Whether directly or indirectly. But of course while I may have been an immortal, I'm put on the same level as a monster or an animal. Because heaven forbid I do what I can in my power to stay alive and sane instead of become a mindless beast killing everything around me. But apparently that's not "acceptable".
Oh. Right. So, uh, there's a sort of defunct god of the underworld in my world who was worshiped in various forms by two people: the Romans and the Greeks. The Romans called him Pluto. The Greeks calls him Hades.
Guess what "Solus's" actual true name is, according to Hythlodaeus.
Hythlodaeus was at least willing to talk shit out with me, you know? Instead of dismiss me wholeheartedly because I don't meet some stupid, arbitrary standards of his.
I mean, fuck it, that's what I hate most about goddamn Hades. That if you don't make his high standards you're not even fucking *people*. I mean fuck! You don't have to care about people! But you have to at least acknowledge they *are* people!
That's a garbage name. Though I have to wonder if that's where this weird superiority complex of his comes from, given the whole immortal nonsense. I've met gods before and not even they're as absolutely obnoxious as he's proven to be.
Mm, fair. There at least... seems to be some understanding there. I'm giving him that much.
Don't get hung up on it for too long, it's really not worth giving the time and effort towards. If he's not going to think anything different of you, then he's not worth the effort of giving a shit about.
Ugh. You're probably right, I just-- Fuck. I don't know why I'm so hung-up on this. Just... god. Maybe it's just that Tyler was even more terrified of Solus than *I* was before and now they're suddenly buddy-buddy? What the hell is up with *that*? What stupid game does he think he's *playing*?
And, I mean, Solus is doing everything to make my life a living fucking *hell* right now, so for all I know he's... god. I don't know. Pouring poison in Tyler's ear about me. And you too.
It fucking hurts to think that Solus could convince him to hate me. I fuck up so much with him on my own, but Tyler's important to me, you know?
What's he doing to you, then? Because I'm sure it's something that can at least be fixed well enough.
As for... all of that. If it helps any, he hasn't been acting any different around me than he always has. So if he's supposedly poisoning the well, he's doing a damn good job of keeping it under wraps. But given... everything, I trust him well enough to be an adult and cut me out to my face than continue on a farce. And I think it'd be the same for you.
I mean, I'm in the process of fixing it. It's halfway fixed. I need some Casual Hypnotism to get it all the way, so I'll need Tyler's help to finish the fixing.
And what that absolute fucker *did* was send a goddamn Rotom to fuck with every single piece of electrical equipment I tried to use for my job in the newsroom, making them all fail within minutes of using them. I was lucky enough that my supervisor a) loves me in a completely platonic way because I do damn good work for him and b) is a company man, because he was very willing to accept I'd been sabotaged--he just also put me on unpaid leave until I get the sabotage taken care of.
I fucking *loved* working in the newsroom, Lydia. And I liked having money I fucking earned too.
Then fucking fix it and confront the asshole about it, like it's not that fucking hard of a thing to do.
And yes, yes, I know about the whole loving the newsroom thing and the earning money thing. I get it.
But seriously, darling, don't be paranoid about all of this. He's a bastard, certainly, but I highly doubt Tyler is the type to be manipulated that easily. Or would allow himself to be after damn near everything.
Maybe just, I don't know, talk to him if this is bothering you so much?
I mean, I expected the two of you would *eventually* realize you wanted the same thing from each other. I just didn't know how long it would take.
... unless I've totally misread the situation of him practically living with you and you haven't yet, in which case *I said nothing* and please don't tell Tyler.
Steven, you're probably one of the few people here I don't detest fully.
But even I know better than to confirm or deny anything because you have a habit of running your mouth at the worst possible times and to the worst possible people. So, you know, there's your answer.
Yeah, well, just don't tell Tyler if I *did* accidentally say too much just now.
[He's smiling to himself, though. Either they did figure it out or Lydia at least now knows that Tyler caught feelings too and maybe she'll do something about it.]
I'm not quite sure if Pokemon are exactly paternal outside of certain instances. Given Flaris didn't give a fuck about her eggs, Nex tried to take faces off, and then Allure seemed genuinely concerned about Mesmer's everything.
Wow, rude, I'm absolutely sunshine and daisies and a saint, don't you know.
I suppose in time and age he'll settle down, or at least earn some sort of respect to not be an absolute gremlin. I type as I remember my own gremlin and the fact he's not changed in the slightest...
Cobbles, mostly. Started as a trash fire gremlin and he remained a trash fire gremlin. I'm pretty sure the only people he doesn't detest is myself and maybe Tyler? Sometimes?

Re: [Text]
We're grown-ass adults and I'm not keen on drama. If he finds out, he finds out from you saying something. I have no reason to say anything.
Re: [Text]
Thanks anyway.
I guess in the worst case scenario, I have Mesmer now and I can try brainwashing the damn Rotom on my own. The whole Learning by Doing thing.
I wonder if Teller would be willing to use this as a teaching moment for his son.

He's growing on me, though. I suppose I just have a natural fondness for terrible people. Or Pokemon.
