UN: 👋

[facepalmchampion]

[[An almost gaunt looking figure shuffles himself, and his fancy new outfit thanks to the festivities, in a seated position to get more comfortable. For the most part there is a metallic stopper on the back part of the wrist of a hand covering the man's face]]

These posts always made me wonder what kind of civilization I've been pulled into that we all sit around and talk to ourselves until other people do or don't decide to talk back.

[[He turns his head in what seems to be an attempt to get any knots out of it, while he speaks, eventually settling it back on the most comfortable spot on the arm of his couch.]]

Before any of you kind souls tries to gg me on being here, sitting by myself, talking into the post, I'm aware. Your humour is dry. I'm just bored and thought I'd follow the herd like every other upstanding citizen. So here I am, talking to myself and curious about what those out there, will say back.

shigaraki is rude

[tigerpoet]

No one is good at writing when they start out, just like no one is good at anything the first time they try it. The point is for them to learn that they can build their skills and improve themselves as creators while expressing themselves in a constructive way.

A(n) jerk. For his jerkness, I'm leaving the cuck icon.

[facepalmchampion]

[[Another small pause and a curious uptick of his head.]]

I'll have to see it to believe it, these are hardened criminals right?

[[The idea of Dabi or even Spinner sitting down to do creative writing as an outlet is lost on him as to how it would help them.]]

[tigerpoet]

Hardened criminals are still people like anyone else.

[He understands not everyone believes in them like Atsushi does, but still...]

[facepalmchampion]

Is that really how you feel about them? People that are exactly like anyone else?

[tigerpoet]

Well, not exactly. Every person is different... but they're not more different than other people, you know?

[facepalmchampion]

By difference you mean a different level of dangerous. They're people, of course they are, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous. They're there for a reason.

[[That reason is they were chumps and got caught. For Shigaraki it's to find other underbelly to expose in an easier way.]]

[tigerpoet]

That might be true, but I don't think that means we should be unkind to them...

[facepalmchampion]

Unkind?

[[He pauses in thought, quietly contemplating.]]

Why not instead of creative writing, ask them how they think they've gotten there and to write their personal story. I will give you a gentleman's agreement that we're going to find it isn't people like me who've been unkind, it's people who've given them no chance or false hope.

[tigerpoet]

Hm... I might use that for a prompt sometime, thank you.

[facepalmchampion]

[[Tomura nods his head, slowly. It's interesting not to be taken up on an actual bet, but he's used to people who don't seem to be as well intentioned as this poor soul.]]

I'll be interested in the results.

[tigerpoet]

I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

I hope you're doing well?

[facepalmchampion]

[[He's never had someone ask if he's doing well or not, not where it doesn't sound like 'have you been plotting lately'.]]

...Of course I am. This place isn't as intimidating for people who can adapt, is that what you're asking?

[tigerpoet]

Well, something like that. It's good to hear that you haven't been troubled.

[If it helps Shigaraki to think of it in that way, Atsushi won't argue.]

[facepalmchampion]

Troubled by...?

[tigerpoet]

Well, anything. ...Do you not often have people asking how you are?

[facepalmchampion]

No, they don't. Anyone who I let in my life already knows there's nothing that I can't adapt to, no score I can't beat. There's no reason to ask when they already know the answer.

[tigerpoet]

You don't think it's nice to be reminded that people care about your wellbeing? Even if it's unnecessary.

[facepalmchampion]

[[He's giving it true thought.]]

It sounds annoying. It would depend how often they're doing it or for what reason. They should know I'm fine. They'll know when I'm not, if they've been allowed around me. Do you find it nice?

[tigerpoet]

I do, if it's not too often.

[Even he gets bothered by people continually fussing over him, but in moderation...]

It's just one way people show they care about you.
