I can explain

[proceeds to not explain-]

[licensetocrane]

tick tock

[SPILL]

[apuckalypse]

[ aaaaaaaaaaaaa fine okay have a ramble. ]

ok well we met like 3 months ago and he said he hated humans, but we kind of bonded over coming from apocalypse worlds so that became way less important real fast. and I like magic and he likes magic and both of us hadn't really experienced anything "normal" so we bonded over that too. then I found out he had nowhere to live, and I hated living alone so he moved in. we went through a lot! I've never done this before! he's kind of my best friend now? which I've never had before?

anyway he asked me out at Christmas so it's been like a WEEK so that's why I hadn't thought to tell you I guess

[licensetocrane]

[Jones she keeps wavering between you're adorable and holy FUCK you're a traumatised mess. Bit of column A...]

ok chill I'm not mad or anything I'm just y'know turning up to find y'all are datin now and I missed everything

...you were living on your own?

[why D:]

[apuckalypse]

[girl you have no idea, he is drowning in social drama he never got to experience before and it is WILD]

well ig you didn't miss that much since it only just started so there's that

[she missed the whole embarrassing slow-burn courtship everyone has been laughing at for months, but okay.]

yeah I spend a couple of months trying out the different housing options but none of them felt right. I had only just moved into the apartments when Hunter said he hadn't found a place yet, so I stayed.

[licensetocrane]

[Well, that is a whole helping of sad. Makes sense, but boy needs therapy.]

and does it feel right now?

[apuckalypse]

[Someone should probably tell him what therapy is so he can get some.]

it does now yeah. tbh the place has never mattered much to me, we moved around a lot when I was growing up. I'm happy sharing it with Hunter

[something something Asgard is not a place-]

[licensetocrane]

[Don't think she won't shove you at a therapist if she finds one.]

moving a lot makes sense in your kinda situation
I'm glad you can kinda stop now
Anyway as you might guess I met Hunter, kid seems nice

[apuckalypse]

[good luck with that April.]

me too
He's very nice! He's a great roommate, too. He's still learning human culture and slang so he might take you too literally at times, but he's very sincere.

[licensetocrane]

[Yeah she knows that's unlikely at best.]

oh that explains some things he's a bit awk
but I'll keep that in mind for later
b/c we will obviously talk a lot later
:D

[apuckalypse]

why does that sound like a threat D:

[licensetocrane]

a threat? just your imagination, I would never [She would never.]
he thinks I am a tamer of giant cranes FYI that's damn cute

[apuckalypse]

[doubts]

tamer? lol. I did tell him about how you drove one to take down the sister krang and he was very impressed. I'm sure it sounded extra crazy bc cranes are so different in his world

[licensetocrane]

I assume he's talking about birds, right? Unless there's some other cranes, I mean worlds are different ig

[apuckalypse]

[processing.

processing.]

cranes are birds??

[licensetocrane]

[oh, honey. Of course she has no business being surprised.]

yeah, tall graceful things. I mean they're also machinery best used to squash aliens and evil suits of armor, but that's the other meaning.

[apuckalypse]

[....

what the fuck she just flipped his whole world upside down.]

wow ok some of the stuff he said makes a lot more sense now

[licensetocrane]

[There's a brief pause b/c she's snickering tbh]

should I ask
I mean I can imagine a lot without context
anyway if he ever screws you over pls tell me I will put the fear of O'Neil into him

[She probably already would have but he was such a nervous mess to begin with she couldn't bring herself to. Less of a shovel talk and more of a shovel smack if required.]

[apuckalypse]

oh no I don't think he'd do that sort of thing on purpose

his world i guess doesn't have metal cranes like my world didn't have bird cranes, so we both misunderstood each other, seems like

you're the second person to threaten that though, is that a thing?

[licensetocrane]

it sure is
age old tradition called the shovel talk done by family and close friends
generally means we want you to be happy and we're gonna be big mad if he hurts you
we're not serious about hurting him dw we just wanna make sure he KNOWS

[apuckalypse]

ok so there's not like
actual shovels then? bc that sounds unreasonable

[licensetocrane]

lmao no you're good
or he's good
no shovels involved




unless he REALLY hurts you then no promises

[apuckalypse]

pretty sure we're all safe from that. I think he would rather set himself on fire lol

I'll give myself a shovel talk on his behalf since he doesn't have a whole crowd lining up, and warn him not to worry if he gets any

[licensetocrane]

[How'd the apocalypse churn out such a nice kid, honestly. Them teetles should be proud.]

A good plan. Especially if he has trouble with human humor, yeah? Just tell him it comes from a place of love. [And trolling.]

[apuckalypse]

[They really should be. Absolutely nailed it raising this one.]

I think he'll take it in stride. I can't tell you the number of times he's said that humans are weird and at this point I agree with him
