you know that they don't make silk with spider silk, right? it's made from silk worms or rather... silk worm pupae [thank you science channel, but it'd never work. low yield. high expense.]
but that's a really weird way to express your interest like who gives presents that are capable of causing physical harm? wait... does he know you're dating?
ah. movie-worthy romance. what're you gonna do when you gotta go home?
[because that's the goal, right? get back to their respective universes, back to their lives. he's got a date with a girl. you know, provided that he can convince her to take him back and all.]
[he doesn't think anything of it, really. for all he knows, daisy might've gotten caught up at work or is making food or perhaps he's crossed an invisible line that acquaintances aren't supposed to cross. it wouldn't be his first foray into pissing someone off.]
that's... interesting. you're not saying you'd go down with the ship, but why do you want to stay?
what's so bad about where you came from that this place is somehow better? stuff's not so great in new york but i can't imagine calling anywhere else home.
[because even if he and mj never patch things up, he'd still rather be back there.]
[ she does know, but there's something particularly damning about putting it down in black and white. or... digital black and white. ]
it's complicated, i guess i got spoiled for some stuff back home that i don't particularly want to go back to and this is (as crazy as it sounds) probably the most normal life i've ever lived i lived in a van and in a bunk on a secret government agency's plane and on a tiny cot in an orphanage. i never had a home or a 9-5 job or a life before.
it's just hard to give that up. i never thought i'd get it.
[that's... yeah he can dig it. life for peter's never been 100% stable. money had always been tight living with aunt may, college, and beyond. it's tempting when presented with those things that someone wants. no, craves. and a normal life was definitely something he'd wished for more times than he can recall.]
huh. spoilers. so someone from your home world but a different time told you about the future.
did you ever consider that this person while someone you know might not have been from your world no matter how much he/she was similar to the person you knew. the multiverse is infinite and so on.
not trying to say you should give up your cushy job and happiness. just some food for thought.
maybe the world you came from isn't as set in stone as you think it is. or maybe you can drag your boyfriend with you. if i've somehow mananged to make it here and not have my atoms disintegrate by now, maybe he can come with you.
yeah that's always fun. i've met a lot of alternate universe people too.
[the weirdest was seeing his basically perfect blond self. thanks for not being alive to make him feel inferior r.i.peter.]
sounds. complicated that's for sure. but in my experience, you don't really get to do nothing. life's got a way of making you realize that ignoring the giant elephant is just going to end up with that elephant stepping on your toes.

jyn? like small, murder in her eyes jyn?
no subject
i'm also pretty sure most people don't know that and would be easily tricked into buying special organic spider silk
[ another day, another dummy to be tricked out of a dollar: the skye handbook ]
she's my sister

[if there's anyone who could figure it out, it'd be him, but just because one can doesn't mean one should.]
you look nothing alike
no subject
if they're dumb enough to do it, they deserve to lose their money
[ millennial morality i guess ]
excuse you, i was an orphan.
no subject
but that's not the point
as much as i want to stick it to the man... i think i'll pass
[disappointed uncle ben conscience piping up as always.]
makes two of us
how'd she become your sister anyway?
besides the obvious 'i'm an orphan' part
no subject
do you interrogate all women like this?
no subject
i asked ONE question, first of all
and second, it wouldn't have even come up if you hadn't divulged your tragic backstory
but no. i don't. only the plotting to take over the world types i meet at work.
no subject
food, plants, and sleep
i don't think she would take over the world if you paid her
[ okay, MAYBE if you paid her. probably not, tho. too much effort. ]
no subject
you're saying i might actually not get stabbed with a fork this time?
[because he's still more than a little terrified of her.]
no subject
[ YES I KNOW IT'S CACTI ]
our neighbor is in love with my boyfriend
he keeps giving us plants as some kind of futuristic sex proposition
no subject

like who gives presents that are capable of causing physical harm?
wait... does he know you're dating?
no subject
[ she does not correct dennys because it's funnier to see illya's face turn weird shades of purple ]
no subject
jesus. what kind of soap opera life are you living?
no subject
honestly it's more fun to watch illya's face turn weird shades of purple any time dennys brings it up
no subject
wow you must love each other a lot
no subject
guilty as charged
no subject
that's gotta be nice
you two meet here or is he from your home world?
no subject
he fell in love with me when i whipped his ass at checkers
no subject

[because that's the goal, right? get back to their respective universes, back to their lives. he's got a date with a girl. you know, provided that he can convince her to take him back and all.]
no subject
i don't really want to
i want other people to have the chance, but i think i'd rather stay
i haven't told anybody that before
no subject
that's... interesting.
you're not saying you'd go down with the ship, but why do you want to stay?

best of both?
no subject
fitz and i have history, though. i've met his alternate universe self before.
[ gotta love s4 ]
i don't know what i'm gonna do, tbh
it's not just him. how do you leave people behind who have become your family? how do you make people choose?
it feels like it'd be easier not to choose at all and stay.
