no subject
Because she's a fucking idiot who apparently never considered like hey, I'm gonna become a very powerful magic being and then MAKE AN UMBRELLA THAT EATS MAGICAL ENERGY
What a fucking dipshit
[He's mad in that way where he's not really mad he's just having a lot of emotions]
no subject
so when you heard her voice... it was coming from your magic umbrella????
only you didn't get what was going on because you were still whammied and didn't remember her???
but you get her out okay?
no subject
All I had to do was break the fucking thing, which I'm not doing here cause I don't wanna fuck anything up and she might not be there anyway. The portal messes with pocket dimensions.
no subject
that's such a mindfuck tho like
was she conscious while she was in there?
or is it more like magical cryo-sleep or something
i'm really glad she's okay.
no subject
But we didn't get to do a whole big reunion, apocalypse and all that, ya know?
no subject
like if dante got himself trapped in his own umbrella i'm pretty sure the only spell he'd figure out would be telepathy just so he could tell me it was all my fault.
[ Believe it or not, Cisco honestly thinks he's just said something funny, rather than kind of depressing. ]
yeah i imagine the end of the world can be a bit disruptive
but you'll have time for one after you kick the hunger's ass.
[ Since that's what is OBVIOUSLY gonna happen. ]
also listen just lemme say this once and i won't bring it up again
breakups are shitty and if you ever want me to stop by with a pint of ice cream and some dvds of bad reality tv
you just tell me, night or day, and i'm there, and i won't make you talk about your feelings or hug it out or anything
no therapist shit, just cookie dough ice cream and as many hours of america's next top model as you need.
deal?
no subject
If she'd figured out telepathy we might've solved this shit sooner, even if it would've been a fucking headache
[He can't imagine what it would've been like having a lich version of Lup around, while Taako couldn't remember her. It would've been rough.]
Maybe I wanna hug it out and talk about my feelings, you don't know me. [Yes he does.] For reals though, pumpkin, I'm just glad you and me are still cool. I dunno how this break up thing works when you've got mutual friends and even if there wasn't a screaming match or whatever it would've sucked if you felt like you had to choose a side.
[So... there's some honesty and feelings. Enjoy.]
no subject
[ He knows it's probably a little weird, how invested he is in the whole thing, but, well, he doesn't know how not to be. After he'd had that vibe, heard her voice. After Taako had broken down crying in relief just to know she wasn't entirely gone. It's only gotten more intense, since he'd met Lup. ]
i know you're kidding, but fwiw, i'm also always open to hugging and talking.
and of course we're cool.
we're beyond cool.
you're my friend, and even if there had been screaming, like a ton of screaming, i wouldn't let anything get in the way of that, ok?
that's not how i do things.
[ Cisco doesn't choose sides, and won't let anyone make him choose them, either. Under all the sweetness and enthusiasm, he has plenty of stubbornness, too, and loyalty to his friends comes first. Above almost everything else. ]
no subject
[The sense of hopelessness he'd felt in those few minute after remembering had been... intense; when he remembered in Riverview he was a world away from it all, with Clark there to talk him through it, and it had been easier.
But Lup is okay, and that's all that matters.]
Thanks dude.
[Taako isn't... sure if he believes it, but that's not something worth bringing up.]
I'm okay btw, like it's kinda shitty but I guess I'm not that surprised, I should've seen it coming.
no subject
i think most of the time people don't see it coming.
i'm glad you're okay, or some version of it.
[ He knows that Taako means he's not having a breakdown or anything, but Cisco doubts very much that he is genuinely doing just great. If he was, he wouldn't have dodged the topic at first. ]
guess now it's my turn to offer to be your wing man
(would probably be a disaster, but i'm game)
no subject
I think I'm like... good, on that front, for a while.
[Not counting the auction, because Bryn is rude.]
Fucking around isn't really my jam and I for sure don't wanna do this relationship mess again, so.
[He's not sure if that first part will come as a surprise for Cisco, because Taako talks a lot of shit for someone that hadn't gotten laid for a couple decades before Eddie.]
no subject
i can respect that.
[ It's not all that surprising to Cisco, that Taako isn't into, as he put it, "fucking around". If only because, in Cisco's experience, that kind of thing often goes hand-in-hand with poor self-image and Taako, even if he isn't 100% as confident as he projects, does seem genuinely okay with himself as a person, and comfortable with who he is.
As for the other part, he believes that Taako means what he says. But... ]
i know that it didn't end so great this time, but i hope you don't mind me saying... i hope someone great comes along and changes your mind about the 'relationship mess'. eventually, when you're ready.
you deserve to be happy.
[ These are the pitfalls of befriending an optimistic sap, Taako. ]
no subject
I've already got my heart, I don't need anyone else.
[He means Lup and even if that's not the same as a romantic relationship at all, he's never felt like he was missing something. He's not totally opposed to the idea of finding someone, eventually, but it's never been a priority, and he knows he'll be happy as long as he has his family.]
no subject
well, in that case, i'll change it to: i hope you find someone who is perfectly happy not being needed and who fits in next to your heart just right.
but if you don't, then i just hope you are happy, period.
no subject
[But he appreciates it, he's just not great at this kind of stuff. Cisco gets a lot of honesty from him partly because it's easy enough to give to someone who's already seen him at pretty much his worst, but that doesn't make him any better at actually dealing with shit like genuine well wishes.]
no subject
alright alright, no more sappiness for the night, i promise.
no subject
[A dumb joke, probably, because Taako pretty much always just goes with a general "thank god".]
How's Eddie doing?
[He has to ask.]
no subject
sadder than he wants me to think
but he'll be alright.
he's pretty resilient.
no subject
Yeah, I noticed that.
[The resilience thing, but he's not entirely sure what else to say now. It doesn't feel right to pry too much, if Eddie confided in Cisco.]
Try not to let him make this about like, his failure as a person or whatever. He might actually listen to you.
no subject
[ That's all he can really promise. Breakups are messy, and both Taako and Cisco clearly know that Eddie has a tendency to blame himself if he's anything less than perfect for even a moment. ]
no subject
And thanks for checking up on me, but I have had like two pints of ice cream and a couple bottles of wine and Lup is asleep on my legs so I'm gonna levitate her ass to bed and then crash real hard. I'll talk to you later?
no subject
definitely, ttyl!
