Um, no, I said that if she gets as flustered as I do then that's pretty flustered.
Though I guess if you tell me she's managed to confess to whoever it is without being in immediate danger of dying then sure, I'll accept the title of being as hopeless.
[He's easing into the 'joking about awful things' stage.]
[She's just going to play along because... she doesn't want to upset him and is actually sorry if she has. At least he's joking about it? Fucking awkward. What is her life.]
i could always pretend i'm being forced into wanting to murder him
oh my god i just tried to picture how nerdy you'd have to be for ash to dump you. i think you're right. god you two make me sick. why do i help you at all
Pretty sure giving him a heart attack wouldn't help, Em.
Aw it's because deep down you're just a sweet, helpful person. Maybe you can like, make your next project something that puts that to use, like an advice column or something. Who knows, it might be your true calling or whatever.
helping nerds not suck at basic dating skills. it's probably not covered by any saint in existence
[Emily what would you know you're not Catholic. Or Episcopalian. Or any other denomination that venerates saints.]
are you saying my advice would piss people off? goddamn. why do i help you? i mean, shit, i'm getting you and ash to go n a date AND i told maketh how to tell a girl she was totally into that kiss. i'm doing god's work or whatever
now see, if you and the treehuggers had voted for love, we could have a spa, and i could have my skin cream
Sure, maybe, but what about erosion? Everyone's negativity and saline will eat away at the stone and then you'll all be sitting in a really wide but two-inch deep puddle.

But I only accept 'as' hopeless, not 'more', because I'm pretty sure I am super less hopeless enough in other areas that it balances out.
[...He probably should stick to joking in person when it's easier to read tone, oops.]
no subject
whatever, label yourself however you want, it's a free cavetown
no subject
And hey don't say that or I'll come up with something a la tumblr.
no subject
i mean if you want to glue your nerd crown to your head, whatever. don't come crying to me when ash dumps you for it
[Too many people come crying to her for this shit what the fuck.]
no subject
[Because that's the only time Rhys seems to finish coding anything. Sorry Rhys, it's true.]
Pretty sure there's no level of nerd that will be enough for Ashley to dump me for it.
[He's at no risk of edging into neckbeard territory or anything, geez.]

oh yeah i'm totally a squishy teddy bear. i better get canonized after i die for putting up with you losers
i told maketh i'm a regular advice columnist, so you might be on to something there. tell it like it is, make peiple stop pining for each other
do you think that would inspire hope in people?
[Maybe she can get skin cream after all.
no subject
I think dealing with all of us really is worthy of sainthood tbqh.
Do you want a serious answer to that, or...?
no subject
i agree. i am the patron saint of helping out nerds
i want skin cream
no subject
Then I think if you want to go with the advice column to get it you should probably be talking to Rage instead.
Maybe Delight if you make it really entertaining, though.

[He says, also not being a believer of any of the related religions. But he does read a lot of wikipedia.]
Hey, I'm just saying I think your advice would be more Ask Amanda than Dear Abby.
Don't lump me in with the treehuggers, Em. Them's fightin' words.
Everyone in this place would've ruined the spa with their salt by this point anyway.
no subject
you didn't vote for love. you're just as bad
you know salt is good for you when you go for a spa treatment, right

Good because there's only so long I can bullshit science to win an argument without causing myself actual pain
