in that case, yeah, okay, kinda my type, a little bit.
no subject
no subject
so what's your type then
apart from david bowie apparently
no subject
no subject
also, yikes.
hey, if it helps, the person i went home with from a bar ended up keeping me hostage for a whole weekend.
very much not in a sexy way.
no subject
[It's both?? Although the attempted murder happened first so it's probably a feature for him?? Someone help this boy.]
All I'm hearing is that we need to get you laid by someone who isn't crazy.
no subject
like my anti-type
[ Different strokes for different folks, Cisco guesses. It was one thing to sometimes have a bit of a weakness for dangerous women, but Cisco draws the line at anyone who would actually seriously want to kill him. Been there, done that, definitely not looking for a repeat. ]
i mean... you're not wrong.
there was no getting laid involved back then anyway
she faked being into me cuz she wanted me to lure me off and then make me build weapons for her and her brother and his lackey.
[ That sure had been not great for his already lackluster self-esteem. ]
no subject
[Which is kind of what it comes down to; as much as Taako likes playing it safe when it comes to... most of his life, he kind of enjoys the thrill of dangerous people.
Not that he would've tried to date Kravtiz if he'd kept trying to kill them, but it helps with the initial interest.]
Well, that sounds fucking awful. But kinda just reinforces my point. We should go out one night, I'm a great wingelf ;)
[This is half Taako being a shit, and half him thinking that getting Cisco laid might help a little with the self-esteem thing.]
no subject
[ Which is either a weird boast about enjoying boring things just as much as Taako enjoys adventurous ones, or it's a reference to the fact that colorful array of trust issues can and will make him perceive that same level of danger even in someone who has never threatened him in any way whatsoever.
Maybe it's both. ]
no objections from me.
i'm gonna need to see some references for that wingelf position, though.
[ The thing with Lisa Snart had temporarily soured him on the whole bar scene, but Cisco feels like enough time has passed now that he can give it another shot. Especially if he has some company. ]
no subject
[He's the worst.]
I'm the one who finally convinced Barry to stop dancing around Lup and admit he liked her, so I like, invented true love.
[pls]
no subject
[ Since it's a text he'll just have to use his imagination to fill in the exasperated tone of voice. ]
those are some pretty solid credentials.
count me in i guess.
no subject
[Two can play at this game.]
Good choice, you will not regret it. I guess if you want real credentials you could ask Bryn, we've been out together a few times and I've helped make sure she didn't go home alone.
no subject
[ Whereas Cisco thinks of himself as a little bit more of a hard sell. Not that he means to let slip any hints of low self-esteem after that whole pep talk Taako gave him, but sometimes he doesn't notice when he's doing it. Plus, the whole affection contagion isn't doing great things for his verbal filter ]
i think it's really sweet you helped your sister find true love
you sound like such a good brother
like way better than mine (that's kind of a low bar tho)
no subject
[He's not going to drag out another pep talk, he's just going to be relentlessly positive about Cisco and hope it sinks in a little.]
Sorry your brother is an asshole.
Lulu's pretty much the only thing I give a shit about, so being good was never hard for me.
[He's not incapable of caring about other people, obviously, but no one ever gets to the same level as Lup.]
no subject
[ Cisco can't even imagine what a relationship like the one between Taako and Lup must be like. He might be working off limited evidence, but he's sure that Taako means just as much to Lup as she means to him. What must it be like, to have someone you know has your back, no matter what? ]
goodness is still goodness, even if it's natural and not an effort
i hope it's not weird to say but i really wish i could meet her
[ There was a time when Cisco would have objected to anyone calling Dante an asshole. For a long time he'd bought into his parents' bullshit about Dante, how he was the perfect son who did everything right, the exact opposite of the way Cisco did everything wrong. But then he'd grown up, gotten a bit of perspective, and realized that if someone walks like an asshole, talks like an asshole, that's probably what they are. ]
i mean, i still love my brother. he's my brother.
and he's not evil or anything, just sorta selfish.
like i was totally into this girl melinda, right? i mean... convinced she was the love of my life in that stupid teenage way. and apparently she told dante she kinda liked me, too. so he lied to her and said there was no way it was gonna happen because i wanted to become a priest (which for the religion we grew up in means totally celibate) and then he asked her out himself and dated her for a year before he cheated on her and she dumped him.
no subject
[He's going to get Cisco laid if it's the last thing he does.
Not that he's too worried, really. He meant everything he said about Cisco being cute and funny and nice, people are into those things.]
It's not weird, she's like, awesome, so I'm pretty sure everyone rightly wants to meet her.
Shit that's harsh. [Honestly it sounds like something he'd pull on Magnus, or someone he didn't like, but he wouldn't do it to a sibling.] I dunno what I would've done if Lup wasn't, you know, nice.
no subject
he only admitted it like a month ago, i always just thought she just didn't even notice me.
[ Cisco doesn't really know what he'd be like if Dante was nice. He's pretty sure he'd be very different; maybe in a good way, maybe not. But there's no point in speculating. Things are just never ever going to be good with his brother - especially not now that Dante had gotten tortured because of him - and Cisco's just got to accept that. ]
well i'm glad she was
this gonna sound cheesy as hell but it's nice to know there are people who have that
no subject
[That it was malicious interference, rather than the girl not being into him. Is that sort of thing reassuring??]
It's cheesy as fuck but you've found the one topic I'm willing to be cheesy on, so you know, I'll allow it.
no subject
[ Might not be the nicest thing to say, but it's the truth. ]
would you say that, re: your usual cheesiness rule, she's a lup-hole?
[ In Cisco's defense, he couldn't resist. ]
no subject
Hey, you know what, you should definitely make that joke to her if she does show up, she'd love it.
[No, no she would not.]
no subject
[ That's the good thing about puns - they're fun when they are appreciated and fun when they make people groan, too. ]
