Theyre
A Little Difficult To Describe
Particularly Since One Of The Foremost Things That Comes To Mind Is Her Sheer Indifference To What Everyone Elses Opinion Of Her
Something I Most Certainly Cannot Imitate
So Delving More Deeply Into The Discrepancies That Have Led To My Depression Is
Even More Daunting

[complexdisorder]

I see. So this is the conundrum of your preoccupation with other's opinions and a preoccupation with attempting to ignore those same opinions.
Kanaya, have you ever heard of exposure therapy?

I CANNOT BREATHE

[speakveryclearly]

No


Are You Going To Suggest I Attempt To
Admire Her From A Slightly Shorter Distance

;)

[complexdisorder]

Firstly, I am not going to comment on the Sapphic undertones of what you just said. Because I am a nice person like that.
Second, I am suggesting that we work on your apprehension through a style of immersion where there is little to no anxiety.
Instead of confronting Porrim head on, perhaps you should acclimatize yourself to her presence in a group.

[speakveryclearly]

Spoken Like A Xenopsychologist Truly Unaware Of Non-Sapphic Modes Of Admiration
I Applaud You Doctor Lalonde

How Large A Group

[complexdisorder]

Why thank you, Kanaya. I do try.

And perhaps 3 or 4 people besides yourself and Porrim. Enough to provide a suitable distraction, but not large enough to overwhelm any sort of benefit.

[speakveryclearly]

I Suppose Im
Open To This Proposal

[complexdisorder]

Wonderful.
There is truly no need to be nervous, Kanaya.

[speakveryclearly]

If You Say So

[complexdisorder]

I do, in fact, say so.
Porrim is actually quite harmless, if a bit coquettish.

[speakveryclearly]

Do You Really Say So
Rainbow Drinkers Are Not In General A Harmless Breed

[complexdisorder]

Certainly not harmless in a traditional sense.
But, I do not believe Porrim would drain my blood and leave my dessicated corpse as in human vampire lore.

[speakveryclearly]

I Mean Absolutely No Offense By This
But Do Keep In Mind That By The Standards Of Alternian Rainbow Drinker Lore You Are A Mutant Whose Blood At Least Holds No Power Of Attraction

[complexdisorder]

Oh, I see.
Of course, no offense taken.
Why would I be offended by being told that my blood makes me repulsive? That would be quite petty.

[speakveryclearly]

[Pause

SHE HAD CAREFULLY EDITED THAT TO AVOID THE WORD REPULSIVE...

ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT...]

I Had Carefully Edited That Message To Avoid The Word Repulsive Because As Natural As It Is In That Specific Context Its Hard To Find A Term Further From The Truth Of How I Think Of You

[...

...wait...

Pause]

Im Going To See Who Else Can Be Coerced Into This Cooperative Endeavor Of Yours

[complexdisorder]

[There is a suitable pause before Rose answers.]

It was a joke, but I am glad to hear that you do not find me repulsive because of a little thing like mutant blood color.

I am certain that Karkat would be willing to assist, perhaps Dave if I can convince him.

[speakveryclearly]

[it's like the mod squad except instead of delinquents they're mutants and instead of a male African-American there's a male troll]

Its Practically A Party
Were I Still Capable Of Assessing Normal Food Id Suggest Hors D'Ouerves

[complexdisorder]

A three-fifth's majority of said party still rely on more conventional means of sustenance, so I think hors d'ouerves are not out of the question.

[speakveryclearly]

No I Mean I Just Cant Make It Now In My Condition
So It Would Be Inappropriate For Me To Suggest

[complexdisorder]

Ah. I suppose I could trouble myself to make something.
It would be easier in a dreambubble.

[speakveryclearly]

You Shouldnt Feel Troubled

[complexdisorder]

It was simply a figure of speech, Kanaya.

[speakveryclearly]

Figurative How
Trouble Is Already An Abstract Concept
Whats It A Metaphor For

[complexdisorder]

Snarky horseshit.
As always.

I Dont Know How To Tell You This
