Despite its persistently dusty appearance, returning to Hogwarts always has its advantages.

During our vacation, Liz dragged me to see a muggle movie named Midnight: Broken Dawn. Frankly I am appalled at how muggles view Vampires and Werewolves. How could a vampire travel to Brazil? This is just illogical to me.

And when I asked Liz to explain, she told me that they sparkled in the sunlight, but I cannot fathom why this would be the case.

I am left to presume this is another case of muggle movies adapting novels poorly.


[ooc: "Midnight" is what I'm calling "Twilight" for all intents and purposes.]

...There's a genre called "paranormal romance."

I'll just let you draw your own conclusions.

[kid8dik]

I suppose I have heard of similar themes in some books, but nothing...quite like that.

[couragecore]

I guess people are so obsessed with romance they're foolish enough to assume that dark creatures can feel the same way.

[kid8dik]

Indeed. Karkat informed me that those type of novels are highly popular, but I fail to understand why people are so excessively interested in such an inaccurate and fanciful depiction.

[couragecore]

I saw. He said romance novels in general, too. I don't get the paranormal romance genre but I suppose I can understand why regular romance would appeal to the public...it's their ideals.

I mean, what's your ideal view of love?

[kid8dik]

[There is a blot there, that is not a question he was expecting to be asked.]

...My ideal view of...love?

[kid8dik]

Well. I haven't ever...considered it. Love in general seems like a distraction from one's goals. And its importance seems overemphasized.

[kid8dik]

[Durr durr, but she knew all that. Strange, how he was considering this when he would normally brush it off, but this is Maka, so it was ok, maybe.]

However.

I believe the ideal for something like that would be...individuals who together create balance. The flaws of one are assisted by the positives of another.

[kid8dik]

...But I'm not well-versed in the subject.

[couragecore]

[Okay, so that was a really weird question and she knew that, but it's been bothering her a lot lately despite the want to keep her feelings under wraps.]

...

[couragecore]

...Me too.

I mean that's how I feel about it, too.




...Even if it rarely works out like that.

[kid8dik]

Many friendships are based off of those properties! I would think that those who are inclined towards romance would look for that in their relationships too.

[couragecore]

[..............DID HE REALLY HAVE TO SAY THAT.]

I don't know, dating your friends is kind of weird don't you think?

[kid8dik]

...I wasn't suggesting that. Although Liz insists that it happens.

I was simply stating that many people find friendships with people who compliment them and it seems strange that they wouldn't seek something similar instead of...the physical connection that seems more prevalent.

[couragecore]

That's only because men can't commit and only seek out physical gratification with the curviest woman they can find.

[kid8dik]

[inkblot, nope not going there.]

...I don't think that's the case for all males.

[couragecore]

Oh yeah? Prove it.

[kid8dik]

Well...in terms of aesthetics, I don't personally prefer...that sort of female.

[couragecore]

[This is her unimpressed face, Kid, do you see it.]

You don't count, though, you're not a man.

[kid8dik]

....

I...don't count?

[couragecore]

Not really.

I guess it's a nice sentiment that you don't feel that way, but you'll probably change your mind when you become a man.

[kid8dik]

I certainly am male, and I'm of age. Which makes me a man.

[couragecore]

So if you were interested in dating you'd lower yourself to dating a girl like me?






Just as an example, of course.

[kid8dik]

[S-should they really be having this conversation?? This felt like one of those things that girls got mad at if you answered wrong. Also, feels. Strange, unidentifiable feels.]

...I...don't really...

I...haven't considered...

[couragecore]

Then you're definitely not a man. Disregarding what type they're into, they're always thinking about stuff like that.
