@resistinct began trolling casanovasAnchor [CA]: “ your inability to learn complicated handshakes is tearing this friendship apart. ” latula OSIHGXHJASKCIJJK
sentence starters: random text posts.
IT’S JUST NOT FAIR HOW LATULA PYROPE IS SO COOL. it never really has been, her popularity having been a constant through sweep upon sweep. it’s not fair, and cronus doesn’t understand, but what he doesn’t understand is how, despite latula being the epitome of quirky and charming ans so dastardly cool, she clings and peppers in ( love ? no, it’s coddling; culling and culling and— ) love, all given to the people who are ... not.
“ aw, come now, ‘tula, give a guy a chance ! let’s start again. you’re just doing ‘em too fast. ”
he looks at her moving fists, flipping through various signs and fist bumps that could surely have looked like a spoken language, and again he only manages to catch the first five. too fast, too quick, and cronus is beginning to lose part of the cool that latula somehow has endless ounces of.
one - two - three, pointer curl towards palm followed by every other greyed - out digit, bump of knuckles against hers, quickly draw back in an explosion, attempt to catch the supposed falling stars of a galactic explosion — the list goes on and on and cronus is soon lost again, motions growing insecure until he releases a loud groan, throws his head back, and complains.
“ i dunno why you insist on these handshakes. why can’t we just slap each other on the back or greet eachother with a hug or somefin’ ? it’s like you’re just makin’ them too hard on purpose. ”
foot taps repeatedly against ground in a staccato rhythm, fast and without end, and when cronus crosses his arms over his chest, hands finding purchase and safely tucked into the crook granted by the bend of elbows, he allows his fins to flick down; sadly, pitifully.
“ like, i just think it’s a bit excessive, y’know ? ” he says and makes a wishy - washy motion with a hand, pulling shoulders up in a shrug afterwards, “ like alright, they’re cool n’ all, but i’ve got better things to do than come up with some ‘ rad handshakes ’ that takes 5 minutes to get through. doesn’t really razz these berries, ya’ dig ? ”
he’s being a little childish, complaining like it’s a game that isn’t turning in his favor, but then again isn’t that close to the truth ? cronus has always been a bad player, the one to howl the loudest when a game turns sour, the one to lament and whine and put the blame on everyone else. so of course as soon as he can’t pick up on latula’s cool motions he’s one to demand that things become easier for him. it’s always him, isn’t it ?
cronus shuffles a bit in his spot before he huffs through his gills, violet filament fluttering and quivering, and then allows one of his hands to once again hang in the air.
“ slowly this time, kitten. you know what they say about those who move too fast. ”
and then he winks.
