[video] punch and judy
Apr. 11th, 2011 07:52 pm[Xerxes Break is combing tangles out of his little doll's hair when the whirr of the PCD alerts him to the fact that it's been turned on. The doll pipes up right away, in her irritating falsetto;]
Ow ow owowowow stop pulling!
I wouldn't have to pull if you hadn't let yourself get this tangled, Miss Emily.
[The ventriloquism is perfect. She continues;]
Help! Please! If someone on the network can hear meeee-
Don't be silly, Miss Emily, you couldn't live with anyone else. None of them would have the patience to put up with your temper or the insults you like to hurl.

Date: 2011-04-17 02:11 am (UTC)I'm trying to talk to you to try to get a clearer picture on what you want, what you're feeling, so I can make things better and we can work through this like adults.
Instead, you want to skip that part and pretend they're better, so you can shove everyone and everything away and never give anyone a chance to fix anything, because you can do it all yourself, can't you?
Because if no one cares about you, it isn't real, is it? You don't have to owe anything to anyone.

Tell me.

Don't do that.

Date: 2011-04-17 09:46 pm (UTC)I can't be like everyone else, Break. I can't have you let me see under that mask of yours and not care about what's under it; or pretend it isn't there. I can't not try to understand so I can help.
I can't pretend for you, and I'm sorry, because I know that's what you want. I know that's what's comfortable for you, and I can't give you that. I can't be that.
And at this rate I'm going to keep pushing because I can't not, and every time I do you're going to hate me a little more for it. And it'll be long and painful and messy, and eventually I'll give up because I can't take it anymore, and you'll have another irrational thing to hate yourself for.
