if he didn’t know better, he’d think he was hallucinating some weird shit.  but seeing as he was supposed to be working, that wasn’t really the case.  instead he’s standing underneath a tree questioning his entire existence.  “ i...why are you up there? ”  to anyone nearby, it probably looks like he’s talking to the damn tree.  “ i really don’t feel like working extra today, so like...are you a squirrel...girl? ”  he pauses to give a stink eye to some random people staring him down as they pass by.  “ look — i have no idea what’s happening either. ”  and back to the tree dwelling being sitting precariously on a branch above him.  “ ...i’ll give you fifty bucks? ”

hit him. he can overlook a lot, and-- yeah, he'd overlook that, too. but if they showed similarities to his brother in that way? it would CRUSH him. it would confirm to him that he wasn't worth being treated well.

      admittedly, ophelia is a little behind on the times when it comes to having a social media presence. it’s something she’s purposefully avoided and it didn’t bother her much. . . until she’s trying to navigate it now. she’s squinting down at the other’s comments, turning a curious gaze to bunny. ❝ what do these symbols mean ?? ❞

not   enough   alcohol   in   the   world   ||   no   ||   maybe   if   i   were   wasted   ||   maybe   ||   eh…sure   ||   yes   ||   TAKE   YOUR   CLOTHES   OFF   NOW   !

her mouth snaps shut mid sentence, lips pressed together as she looked over at her. the internal struggle between ignoring it and just finishing everything she wanted to say and wanting to just dwell on that one comment. “perfectly glossed, you say?” a smile pulled at the corner of her lips, a laugh reaching her eyes but not leaving her lips, resulting in a playful glint. “say more.”

"and the first sign of a problem. if you’re doing it alone...” she wasn’t volunteering that it was a direct quote from one of her many interventions, but people gathering around her to tell her why she had a problem and why she should stop never gave her enough push to actually listen. but it did, however, arm her with many phrases for times just like this. “but you also might be drinking wrong if it’s ever sad. if you make a drink a fun colour, it’s impossible.”
