I told two entire people about what color instructions I settled for giving FB, this is not a very anonymous anon
But anyway, I was thinking of not acknowledging him and/or silently draping a cloth over him in his place on the shelf, but now you’ve got me re-thinking that. Like, maybe I’m not super invested in the character, but that DOES seem pretty cold. Almost outright rude. I mean, I don’t feel like any gratitude is owed, but I also feel like complete ingratitude just isn’t in my nature.
So now I think that, when I finish and put everything back in its place, I’ll probably try and give him some kind of face when I un-drape him. Like that one specific face you do when you’re out doing something and you see a coworker or someone who’s in one of your classes, you lift your eyebrows a little and kinda stretch your mouth like “I guess it would be rude to make eye contact with you and pretend I don’t recognize you, boy we sure are both shopping for groceries huh.” I feel like that’s sufficient, especially given that this is an alternate-universe version of the guy anyways.
being involuntarily animistic towards every single object is a tough life, man
