You read about Scott wanting to start up hockey lessons, right? I want to surprise him with some flyers and hang them up around the city, but I could use some help from someone who knows what they're doing. A partner in crime.
Otherwise, they're going to look like a kid drew them. You up for the job? Could be dangerous. ;)
But for reals it sounds fun and I'd love to do that for you AND Scott. I feel bad that I'm not more of a hockey person so I'm glad I'll be able to help contribute to this in some way
I mean, other than watching it, I wasn't as big into it as I am now. You should come watch him practice, I think you would see the draw. He's a different person on the ice.
I think it'd mean a lot to him, these flyers coming from us. Give me some leeway though, just because I like art doesn't mean I'm da Vinci.
Just a hunch, the scrapbooking caught my attention.
I see. Well, it sounds like an acceptable risk to me. o7
Oh, I definitely plan on showing up at least once. I want to test out the camera capabilities on my glimmer anyway, and sports action shots are notoriously difficult, for obvious reasons. It should be a fun challenge, regardless.
And/or we can have a contest to see who can cheer him the loudest. :P
[That would probably work better for a game, not just practice, but still.]
I can let you lead on it and just tell you what I think looks good, if you want? I'm not sure if you mean leeway as in "let me have control over it" or "cut me some slack," but you've got either if you want them
And to be fair, *nobody* is da Vinci except da Vinci.
Gawd, my journal? Sometimes it's a bit of a mess. I have a habit of picking up little things to decorate my journal entries, doodling in it... I never thought of it as scrapbooking, but you're totally right. That's exactly what it is LOL
Yeah, he'd be worth any risk. Sounds like a lot of people are interested.
Well, if anyone can nail some great shots, it's you. If we can help him get this thing off the ground, maybe we could start sending out a weekly newsletter with updates? Even if it's just for fun, it'd be a good way to get the attention of new people.
Sorry to say, but that's a contest I'm gonna win. ;)
Leeway as in don't laugh at my art, at least not to my face. Let me down gently. I don't think my pride could take being dissed by my new favorite photographer.
See? You get it. He's one of a kind.
If you ask me, a messy journal is a good sign. Means ideas hit you on the fly, the clutter makes things interesting anyhow. You know where everything is, that's all that matters. My mom's into that, scrapbooking. There was just something familiar about it.
[Bless you, Kip, for giving her something else to focus on when she's about to be finished with school.]
I seriously don't doubt that. Especially since I'm probably less willing to go hoarse for him than you are.
Okay, well now I *know* you're just trying to win me over with flattery; how can I be your favorite photographer when you've only seen maybe a handful of my photos?
It's cool to know you like art, though. Is that something you're pursuing at all?
At the same time it is very much still a journal too, though. I definitely have to write in it to process my feelings and everything. Had a child psychologist tell me to do that once and it stuck LOL.
I've had months of practice yelling at the television and over thousands of fans to make sure he heard me. You can't teach that level of dedication.
Hey. It's not flattery if it's true, you gave me my favorite picture of him. People never capture the real him, not in moments like that. I think it's the most peaceful I've ever seen him look.
History was what I majored in, but who doesn't love art? Everyone could learn a thing or two about artistic freedoms.
Nothing wrong with that, especially if it helps you gather your thoughts. I had one when I was a kid, but who has the time now? Honestly, it'd probably do me some good to keep one.
Do you think anyone would believe we're not biased?
That's super fucking sweet, though. You both are too cute. Like a romantic movie.
And that means a lot, Kip, thank you. I love being able to capture moments like that. That's what it's all about to me. It's also really nice to be able to share it with the world? I guess it's kind of my primary way of interacting with it. The world. Capturing those moments and sharing them.
History, huh? Did you have a favorite period or place in history to study?
Art is why I went to Blackwell Academy. Their programs prioritize Art and Science. My friend Warren is the Science Guy, but like you he also really appreciates art.
[He also has a crush on her that can be seen from the moon, so that can be awkward, but still. It doesn't mean she doesn't miss him, being away from home.]
Don't know, probably not. It's worth a shot though. What are they going to do, call us out for rooting for our favorite team?
I think he's the romantic one, not that I don't try. But thanks.
You ever thought about showcasing your work? With the exhibit going on at MoFMA, you would have a broad audience. I think your pictures would draw a huge crowd and, if it's something you love, why not give it a shot?
Not a time period per se, but marginalized groups have always interested me. Half the time their stories are either told half-assed or not at all, I want to tell the world all about them.
Call us out for lack of journalistic integrity? [JOKING.]
Come on, screaming so loud over other fans to try and make him hear you? That's totally a romantic gesture. Don't sell yourself short. Besides, romantic gestures vary from person to person, right?
I've been thinking about it... I think I just get really nervous *because* it's something I love. I second guess the photos I take all the time, and feel like they're not good enough for that. It would totally crush me to be rejected and have those fears that I'm not good enough confirmed. I don't know what else I'd do with my life if I couldn't be a photographer...
[Just baring her entire soul in text to Kip. It's fine.]
That's a very worthy goal. You're a good person, Kip. I always get so heated about stuff like that too... I remember the "Max Caulfield is a Feminazi" graffiti I found in the locker room once. Like I'm supposed to be *ashamed* about caring? Fuck that.
Warren? He's pretty cute. He's sort of a physics genius, and totally obsessed with all things sci-fi. He was the first person to even talk to me when I started at Blackwell, and he makes me laugh. But Chloe also thinks he's super in love with me, because he protected me twice when I was threatened... Took a headbutt to the face and everything, wound up with a nasty black eye. But he wore it like a badge of honor.
[Ugh, she does miss him, actually. It's nothing like missing Chloe, like a chunk of her soul has been carved out of her, but it's a bit of an ache nonetheless. Now she wishes maybe she had accepted his invitation to the drive-in. Maybe just because now she'll never have that chance. At least she did get to hug him one last time.]
That's an easy fix. If they say anything, we plead the Fifth.
He's got an edge, he always knows where my seat is. Even if he can't hear me? He'll always see me cheering. Maybe. I could stand to up my romantic game, though. Any tips?
I get that. But you'll never know until you try, I think it would be doing this place and you a disservice to hide them away in your journal all the time. I wouldn't tell you to do something if I thought there was a chance you'd fail. Kinda defeats the purpose of me looking out for you. You're more than good enough, Max.
Just an honest guy who is tired of seeing people get swept under the rug. Feminazi? Girl, wear it with pride. Rush Limbaugh is a conversative asshole who doesn't know what he's talking about, but he fucked up. He thought calling them Feminazis would be a derogatory term, but it empowered them. Nobody should have to hide who they are or what they believe in. The world would be a better place if people pulled their heads out of their asses and tried to understand.
I think Chloe was onto something, especially with what you told us about Blackwell. I might have to vet him if he shows up though, but him getting a black eye for you gives him brownie points. Not as many as Chloe, but you know.
If you're asking ME for tips on how to be romantic, you might be screwed, Kip. I've never even had a romantic relationship.
[She could suggest he sacrifice a whole town to save Scott, or pull the trigger on a gun (unloaded, but Max hadn't known that) at a knife-wielding drug dealer to protect him... but she wouldn't actually recommend those things. Much funner romantic gestures exist, surely.]
Thanks... I'll think about it. Seriously. I had sort of been considering getting myself a more professional grade camera for a graduation present too...
[Is it dorky to get yourself a graduation present? Maybe.]
Maybe I should have snapped a shot of that graffiti and put it on my own whiteboard outside my dorm lol. Joking aside though, you're right. And spreading knowledge about the history of the marginalized is a good step toward fostering that kind of understanding, I think.
oh my gawd kip vet him for WHAT
I didn't feel the same way about him as he did for me. Maybe I could have at some point? I dunno. Things just didn't pan out that way. He's a good guy, though.
[...thinking about it, it HAD kind of hurt to see him with Stella in that alternate timeline, though. What was that about? Ugh.
The answer is that you're a messy bisexual disaster, Max. At least she could admit it a little bit in her own thoughts.]
I'm already screwed, I'm phoning a friend. Either you can let me sail down the river or you can make something up.
At least it'll be easy to shop for you for Christmas and birthdays. Maybe you can teach me to take pictures without my thumb getting in the way.
[ He takes decent pictures, he's just adamant about keeping her mind elsewhere. Namely off of the negativity from her own world. If acting a fool gets her to smile? It's worth it.
And now he has an idea for a gift for her, a little more personalized than a camera. ]
Yeah, that's how you give them the proverbial middle finger. Honestly, knowing they're still being marginalized in 2017 is wild. If people haven't opened their eyes yet, will they ever?
Can you blame me after what you told me about your world? Just looking out for you. ;)
[ Oh no, no, no. There is no hiding in your thoughts in this house, Max. ]
I *did* sort of already suggest breaking into a pool at night. But I think you should use the things about you that you already know he likes, to make whatever it is special. Do something that could literally *only* come from you, you know? Maybe something that relates to your past, and how you got started, how you met.
LOL I make no promises. I'm a photographer, not a teacher.
[But talking about photography teachers is probably the last place either of them want her mind.]
I think progress is inevitable, but since there are those fighting against it, unfortunately it still takes fighting for. I just hate that so many get hurt and sacrificed in the process.
You and Scott are from 2017, right? I feel like he mentioned that to me once. It was October 2013 when I left home to come here.
Okay, if he shows up, I will allow you to question him. But I have serious doubts anyone from my world is going to show up here... Though Warren does seem the most likely to say "yes" to a talking owl. He'd think he was in an episode of the X-Files or Twin Peaks or something.
Apparently so? I've always thought skater boys were pretty cute, though none have ever paid me much attention. It's kind of funny now that I think about it, because Chloe likes skateboarding too.
Does Scott look like the type of guy who would break into a pool? I think the worst crime he's ever committed was putting the wrong sock on first during practice. Be thrifty, funny and make him smoothies, got it.[ Ha. ] I was thinking about something but it's kind of dumb.
Pfft, I'm dedicated enough. Though I might just do it anyhow just to be brat.
Me too. All we can do it keep up the fight, we only lose when we give up and I'm not throwing in the towel anytime soon.
2013! God, I don't even remember 2013, save for graduating. That was four years before I met Scott. It was June 2017 for us.
X-Files, huh? He's got good taste, maybe I won't show up in a black suit and sunglasses then. I'll give him a break since you like him, but I might have to put my foot down if he starts pining.
[ He would never, but he has a feeling her heart is already with Chloe. So. Fuck off, Warren. Respectfully. ]
There's nothing wrong with figuring it out late, I didn't come out until I was 18. I guess you were just waiting for the right skateboarder, hm? I had a tough guys with tattoos phase.
