He is!! He's very charming when he wants to be. Must be a family trait.
It's really fun! I've always wanted to act, but it was never an """appropriate activity""" for me. I hope I'm okay at it!!!! He's so creepy and spooky, I have to figure out how to channel that, you know???
I'm sure you'll be great. Playing a character that's nothing like you sounds like a big challenge but it might be more fun? This isn't really my wheelhouse.
I am. It's not as glamorous as yours but I like it.
I'm just a simple guy with simple pleasures I guess. I want a safe, happy home and someone to share it with. I want to do something meaningful that helps people, even if it's small. I want a few, good friends I can trust with my life and time to read and learn about anything that grabs me. Everything else is just bonus.
You know Chuck and I just had our one year anniversary?
I really like it here. I could have a life, you know? A future. Put down roots and finally belong somewhere.
As long as you like it!!! That's great, Raleigh! I'm so happy for you two. You both deserve it, and I'm happy that you're so happy together.
A whole year!!! I can't believe you only got together right before I met you. It feels like you two have been together forever.
I feel the same way, honestly. Back home, I don't know how long it would have taken for my life to be my own, and even then, I don't know if I could actually have done what I want to do. The curse of fame, I suppose. You understand that.
But here? Here, I can do what I want, with who I want. I can live with Mako and not have to keep it a secret. I have you and Chuck and so many other amazing friends. If you can ignore the potential death and torture, it really is ideal!
I think it's just a different way of approaching life. The rules of our home worlds don't apply anymore. We don't even have the same bodies. So sure, this world is dangerous and can be awful but we're built to endure it. More than that, I think we're built to thrive.
We can be whoever we choose to be. The only thing we owe is happiness to ourselves and our people.
Look at how much we've grown. At how much you've grown? Like you said before, we are so different from who we were when all this started and I like who we are now. I'm proud of it. I'm proud of you for who you are and every amazing thing you've accomplished.
We've been robbed of so much back home and have every opportunity to make up for it here, come Hell or high water. Remember, when things get tough or hurt, it's only temporary. Just let it flow through you, don't latch on. We're going to be okay.
[ Wu doesn't know the last time that someone said something that kind to him. He doesn't know what to do with it, but warmth blossoms in his chest and he smiles stupidly down at his Omni.
Yeah, this is why he's friends with Raleigh. Well, there are many reasons, but this is one of them. Even after everything they've been through together, Raleigh can say something that kind to him and he can make Wu feel special and supported ]
That is really good advice, Raleigh. When did you become so wise, buddy??
You know, you've grown too. Maybe in less obvious ways, because you weren't going to die at the first sign to danger, but you've really opened up. I'm really proud of you, too.
Despite everything here, we are free. We can be ourselves and do what we want, which is why I can run a theater and you can have a farm and we can still be friends! I could never have been friends with a farmer back home.
[ But... something else Raleigh says pings with Wu too, and he hesitates. Should he really derail this very kind and sweet conversation?
Well, they have already talked about Raleigh's dick. ]
You don't think we're built to procreate with Pthumerians????
If we were honestly here for breeding then I think it would be a totally different situation. 1, we'd either be segregated by gender or held in some kind of pen. 2, the world wouldn't be constantly trying to kill us and why would they give us so much freedom? We'd either be locked up or in a harem getting pampered and seduced, don't you think? 3, I don't think they'd allow us to be in couples and most of the people I know here are not only in couples, they're in same sex couples. So breed how?
Boy I'm really glad they didn't do any of those things That would definitely not be better then home
[ Being in a harem is a Thought, but.... you know... ]
Honestly I was having trouble finding a single friend who maybe was hit on my the Pthmerians!! Most of my friends are in couples, and you're right, most of them are same sex couples. That's really something.
[ Since the only openly same sex couple he knew at home was Korra and Asami ]
[ If only he knew cultural references like the gay agenda. Teach him, oh gen-zer ]
Maybe they do!!!!! Really thank you Mako just made fun of me and I think I scared Manabu when I asked him???? At least you took me seriously. Even if it does seem silly when you put it that way
Honestly I'm glad so many of us are gay It really helps You know that it wasn't great for me back home I'm glad I have you and Chuck and all my other [ gay ] friends
[ bless u for teaching him "yeet". he can figure out its meaning through context cues, but will surely misuse it ]
I think it's Argonaut? I've seen him a few times. He likes to check in and he's very encouraging. And adorable. Fritter wants to play with him, though, and I don't think he likes that.

[ Shiro is his other weakness. Tall, broad, muscular, kind in an introverted way.
At least they're moving on, and Wu can hold this thought about Raleigh and his big dick for later when it's maybe less, maybe more, inappropriate. ]
He's going to be great. Probably. I honestly can't believe he volunteered, he doesn't like to be the center of attention at all!!!
You'll come, won't you?
no subject
Of course I will, I wouldn't miss it for the world. How are you enjoying it so far? Riff Raff is a cool part.

Check you out, a bohemian actor living his dream.

I always thought I wanted to be a singer, but this actor gig might be better.
Are you enjoying your life here? With the chickens?
no subject
I am. It's not as glamorous as yours but I like it.

What?

Make babies
With Pthumerians????
[ He sure did derail it right off the tracks, huh? ]
no subject
I
Honestly
Have not considered that.
Are you seriously asking?
no subject
Maybe????
I don't know Raleigh!!!!! Why do you think we have the weird blood powers then?????
no subject
Ok ok relax I'm not trying to embarrass you

Actually makes sense
Thank you Raleigh

But he doesn't think that their existence in trench is to breed.]
Kinda wild, right?
I heard somewhere that Never Mind and The Tower are a couple. Maybe this world prefers queer sleepers. Maybe this is just one big gay pride world.
Congratulations, you're gay, here are some super powers, go be gay and magical
Snap, maybe that's been the gay agenda all along
no subject
Maybe they do!!!!!
Really thank you Mako just made fun of me and I think I scared Manabu when I asked him????
At least you took me seriously.
Even if it does seem silly when you put it that way
Honestly I'm glad so many of us are gay
It really helps
You know that it wasn't great for me back home
I'm glad I have you and Chuck and all my other [ gay ] friends
I haven't even met my Pthmerian patron yet!!
no subject
There's no such thing as a stupid question, asking is how we learn. Yeet anyone who makes you feel stupid for wanting knowledge right into the ocean.
Who's your patron? Chuck got a gift a while back so we know his is The Tower. I don't know who I belong to, yet. Is there another way to find out?
no subject
[ bless u for teaching him "yeet". he can figure out its meaning through context cues, but will surely misuse it ]

no subject
Mako can swim, he'll be fine.
Huh, that's convenient, though. No one has approached me. I wonder why
no subject
Maybe yours is less friendly? I think everyone has one. Maybe? Mako doesn't know who his is either.
no subject
Maybe they only let you know who they are if they want to breed with you
I guess I'll just have to wait and find out..?
no subject
[ He was FINALLY feeling better, and here you go?! ]
YOU SAID THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH US
no subject
I'll have to text you back later there's a crow guy here and he's trying to make love to me
I think I'll be a good brood mother
Do you think I'll have to lay eggs idk if I'm prepared for that so soon what will Chuck think??
Pray for me

YOURE NOT BEING SERIOUS RIGHT
SHOULD I COME HELP YOU?!
