okay so i have some questions for the general public
which is you guys

first: if you sent someone to jail on their birthday but they probably forgave you should you be worried that they or a family member is gonna
i don't know
come after you
or something like that
not that it happened
but hypothetically i guess

second: anyone have any thoughts on being called "puppy"?
is it a compliment?
an insult?
i kind of need some outside opinions here

uhhh
yeah that's it
thanks

yeah okay that's fine if that's what you want to be though
you know?
like...puppies seem kind of lame
especially when you could be something cooler
or stronger but it kind of feels like it's worse being called one??

[vanity]

i suppose if you'd like to be considered something more impressive this is a fair criticism, even if i don't personally find puppies lame.

what kind of animal would you prefer to be called in that case?

[grilletto]

maybe it's just the idea of being cute
it's just weird

and i'm not sure i want to be called an animal
but if i did it definitely wouldn't be puppy
see i used to get wolf ears and stuff
so it was cooler and then you get downgraded to dog?
what the hell kind of system is that?

[vanity]

wait a moment. do you mean the features you grow being a part of this space community? maybe that's also a part of it. while you may have previously been a wolf, they see you affectionately and therefore you're a puppy in THEIR eyes.

but it makes sense to want to show them you're more of an alpha than that! more cool and powerful!

i think you should try and show them more of those cool and powerful charms. become a wolf in their eyes so you are no longer simply a puppy!

(but if you don't want to be called an animal this is perhaps moot. would you prefer a different, more general and romantic term instead ?)

[grilletto]

yeah that's what i mean
i know i'm a dog when it's that time
but you know
i still have a name

you've got it though! i wanna let people know that i'm cool and strong and all that shit
you can't do that if people are looking at you like a soft puppy

and hey i've got nothing against romance but i'm pretty sure it's not like that
pretty sure we're just uh
friends who help each other sometimes if you get me
the more i think about it romance would be pretty nice
you know just go out on a date and have a nice dinner
maybe some shopping

[vanity]

i think i do.

i also have many friends i help, and like to help people in general! but nothing at all romantic, so i understand where you're coming from.

❰ he does NOT ❱

but if you want to move it into something more romantic, i do think showcasing more of your strong and dashing charms would help you in that area. people like partners who can be both a puppy AND a wolf. the best of both worlds, no?

[grilletto]

hey i'm not saying that i want it to be romantic
probably not with her
which isn't to say that i wouldn't date her
but she's a lot tougher than a girl in a romcom
you do have a point though
best of both worlds
but wolves can be both, right?
it'd probably be easier to be smooth without shitty little dog ears

[vanity]

i do certainly sympathize with you in that these strange animal parts are undesirable, but! i do think of all the possible features you could have, dog ears aren't the worst to be saddled with.

oh, though. it would help if i knew what kind of dog ears. there's such a difference between a golden retriever and a german shepherd in this case.

[grilletto]

shit i don't know what kind of ears they are
they're just
pointy little dog ears
and i mean little not like little compared to the size of my head
but little as in why the fuck do i have little ears and a little tail
they aren't even fluffy or anything!

[ he doesn't have any feelings on this at all ]

[vanity]

oh, what a disappointment. prettier ears could be something to work with.

is the tail at least better than the ears? fluffy? curly?

[grilletto]

neither one
just a plain tail
straight with fur
that's it
i really got screwed on cool features
