To raise my courage or not to raise my courage

Someone date me

*DARE stoppit autocorrect you're embarrassing

meat dimension or bust

Don't do it.

That's irrelevant noob I'm not at the Chinese diner

I will share with you the method I use for deciding whether or not I shall eat things which I know will probably make me feel miserable in some way:

It's mostly milk Eck! Hahaha. I've drank them 2 days old before. They're usually a little curdled but not deadly at that point

/listens

there something important happening in the next couple days? Are things going to be really busy? Will I miss out on a lot if I have to spend a lot of time in the bathroom?

If so, I play it safe. If not, I do what I want.

Sound advice! Also, crap. I really am kind of busy. Maybe a small sip...

don't do it

Dude, the answer is no!

You guys can't deny it's always tempting to play Steve Don't Eat It! With yourself. Or play Souji in my case. There's a man who understands that grass is not taboo but ham should be left alone.

Lolol Jenx was SO worried I would do this at his place btw

SHUT UP IT'S A VALID CONCERN

I respected his boundaries and didn't! ...Except for the really old really foul booze. That was mostly vinegar. But that stuff was like licking tire jelly so I really had to

/grin

(My advice was mostly food for thought. The answer is no. )

abort

Oh I'm ready

Level up bitches

I mean the acidity of coffee makes it viable longer than most things but alas combine it with the fat and sugar that is milk (seriously that's basically all milk is at the chemical level) and

I really appreciate you not doing that, btw. Lots. Except the old tire jelly booze because whatever man I suffered right alongside you

It becomes a challenge worthy of an experienced protag

Manly bonds of pain and idiocy, etc etc.

Lolol that was a good night I regret nothing

absolutely not

this isn't a video game

and diarrhea is a bitch to go through

Seriously though did you just drink that

I'm going to take you out for coffee as soon as you get here.

even though it'll be like 10:00 at night

Oh right you haven't known me very long...I do this a lot actually. I have a surprisingly strong stomach! (Conbini sushi is still a bad idea though)

coffee shops have to be open somewhere

Oh right that changed dhddhx fuck I forgot to tell you in all the chaos. Hold tight, pping you and Eck.

don't care, any food that's too old is still bad

And no dude I just took a little sip it wasn't really drinking it at all

aboortt

I used to have that same mindset until I ate meat that disagreed with me. meat

The chunk part isn't even at the top. Ftr it tastes far worse than it smells

..... /headdesk

Ah yeah bad meat is harsh. So is frozen food that doesn't cool through. You'd think it's not so bad but OUCH.

Hey someone left it for me while I was away at work for 3 days and then I slept like ALL DAY so I just noticed it

But it hasn't been sunny out

In fact I feel fi...

/keels over dead

(Btw Jenx I've figured it out. You're Naotosuke.)

(Like if they made an Italian baby, that would be you.)

I... uh....

........Fuck. B|

/snrk

But they don't get along at all

How could they make a baby

Or exist in the same headspace

You are a very improbable thing

Take pride

Also I've done Naoto/Yosuke threads they are hot as fuck what with the bickering and all

But I love a good dischordant sort of fake romance. Ask Seek, she knows.

/snrk

I can see it, actually. How horrifying.

/eyebrow wriggle

I'm not sure how to react to you making suggestive motions at my not-parents

I was waiting for that negl

Oh but since we're talking about Naoto can I just say that it's kind of uncomfortable that all of a sudden when she's revealed as a girl she starts acting girly and speaking in more feminine tones?

I still love her lots, but why writers, why

Dude Plurk keeps eating your replies. :T

She identifies as female!

The reason she was cross dressing was to be taken more seriously at work.

Yeah, but her behavior has changed as a result of the reveal and that's weird!

The only thing that bugs me is the romantic route with Souji. 1. Because c'mon, the Kanji thing is blatant. And 2. Because Souji doesn't respect her boundaries

I always saw it as her easing in and trying to become more comfortable with herself now that she has people she feels she can be herself in front of

Yeah. I'd actually be ok with a romantic route with Souji, despite Kanji, because ok he's the protag whatever. But it;s inconsistent for her to be so painfully oblivious with Kanji and then suddenly

Not everyone agrees with that, so no sweat if we have different interpretations of it I'm not one of those people who assumes they're always right. But that's the way it came across to me.

ok-ish with Souji. I mean not really ok, but. You know. WORDS, I CAN USE THEM.

I hear ya dude. No words needed.

I actually kind of liked the slight behavior shift because it showed her being more comfortable with the rest of the group, even if it was a bit sudden and stark in the English version...

(she doesn't change how she speaks at all in the Japanese version, IIRC...)

(other than being more open about her gender because, well... everyone already knows.)

I see where you're coming from though. I guess it makes sense, and it's totally possible (likely?) that I'm projecting my own issues onto her, but it feels to me more like she was giving up.

Like... the friends thing, it's done well. She's changing but it's not instant. She's still uncomfortable and it shows. (Souji route excepted.) But this was like FLIP SWITCH, BECOME GIRL.

I feel like your situation definitely adds a shade of something to that dude, but keep in mind you have different situations. Of course to be fair I AM ONE TO TALK. Hahaha.

Her voice doesn't change in the JP version, huh? Interesting! But yeah, I'll shut up now, sorry! You guys are probably right.

But yeah, like I said, and Phee said...to me personally it felt like trust, and relief about being able to relax a bit with her friends.

There are plenty of people who debate this to hell and back though. It's definitely not something everyone agrees in.

heh, it's fine! at least you're being honest about how you feel about her without bitching on Tumblr about how "NAOTO IS TRANS ATLUS JUST DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW IT."

... which, yeah. happens a lot. normally I wouldn't mind, but Naoto... isn't really open to interpretation the way she's written...

Ahahaha yeaaaha, no, she's definitely not trans. The writers seem pretty clear on that.

the change felt a little forced to me at times, but I figured that was just cultural differences not translating well into english.

And no dude don't shut up! You are 100% free to voice your opinion in my plurks and be respected for it. If anyone were telling you to shut up if be bringing the smack down

though I also haven't finished it yet...

soon

I really like hearing your opinion on things, okay?

Man I'm still rubbing my face all over the screen every time Sarah joins the Persona conversation

I'll try to finish it before I see you!

and watch all the endings.

But see Jenx? You're not at all alone in feeling that it was awkward. And I'm a terrible person to ask about cultural differences cause as you guys know

I'm just as likely to think the Japanese response is the normal one than the US response. So my views on things are admittedly kind of hopelessly influenced

YAY do it. You'll love the Fox route

I still need to finish too so I can send this back to you :T

Or you can come back to Atlanta again to collect it

I love the fox. >': why can't I date the fox.

that fox is too damn adorable. ;~; (when he's not taking all my money. >_>)

The fox is pretty cool. Even if his spine is animated in a creepy and unnatural manner. :T

I think it's best if I get it in person of course

But seriously A++ creativity and props to the writers on that social link.

Probably after your half marathon cause we're going to need to play it together over pints of ice cream again

ALL YO YENS

I can totally have ice cream while I train for my half marathon. Probably. Just not in the week or two beforehand. (I am a horrible runner.)

Hahaha I'm a horrible Buddhist. Lets be fat and horrible together.
