/ just finished watching frankenstein and <3
@LYKOSIS / THEY REALLY DID!! THE CAST, THE SOUNDTRACK, THE SCRIPT.. EVERYTHING!! i even love most of the changes they made and how they expanded the themes of the original story
your indecision is not helping, shocky. all the good places are gonna close soon. and then we’re gonna starve to death … or life.
* he takes a moment to stop playing catch and view the photos on the screen. place one looks appetizing, but so does place two. one lobster platter looks absolutely divine from place two, but it looks like they could get the same from place one, where they’ve got extra points. * when in doubt, go for the 4.5. do you see that? * he points to a picture, * i can, like, inhale that right now.
@leakingdark sushi can be filling when it’s an all-you-can-eat. [ she types in 'lobster' into her photo and comes up with two results, ] there’s two seafood and bar locations: the first is ten minutes away with a rating of 4.5 while the other is fourteen minutes away, near the beach, and has a rating of 4.2. what do you say? [ she moves her phone within his view. ] between the two, which one has more convincing review photos?
* meanwhile, cole is tossing a scruffy tennis ball up in the air, speckles of dark water flying with it when he squeezes after catching, then releasing, * sushi … sushi … not exactly filling. next— oh! how about / lobster /. very filling.
/ frankenstein is coming out soon and i’m so excited

/ if you got this far, i’ve given up trying to clear out my mb and decided to add a big break instead <3
ow— what was / that / shock for?
@testedsoul to shock you back to your senses. have they returned to you? do i need to do it again?
/ happy pride month!! <3
oh no, i’m totally fine. peachy. just sitting here having the grandest fucking time. how about you?
@leakingdark i haven't watched a lot of movies or shows. it's a downside to being “born” like three years ago. i still have a lot of catching up to do. [ it helps that the steins live long lives. she has all the time in the world to catch up—assuming nothing cuts her life short. ] perfect. just let me know when you’re ready and we’ll go. / found it!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmaw5UDWyt/?igsh=ODdteWx1bmd6eHlj
oh, / shocky /. * a face full of shock (no pun intended) and humoring disappointment shows and he can’t help but turn a stifling frown into a grin, * stop playing. you’ve never seen it? alright, well you’re in for a ride. you’ll love it. i got hooked on the books beforehand, maybe that’s why i love it so much. * the mention of snacks and the overall set up for a new movie night stirs something like excitement in his chest. it’ll be like old times. and that’s what he needs right now, * i’m down. i’ll bring a candle for our mourning. (…) thanks, frankie.
/ I HAVEN’T BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE I SHOULD KNOW WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT !;$:&:! i’ve got to hunt it down
@leakingdark diary of the wimpy kid.. sounds kinda familiar, but i don't think i've watched it. [ frankie carefully tucks away the brick inside her purse. it then occurs to her that this was one less location for cole to occupy. in the past, he mentioned staying at different locations—never staying put in one for too long. with the destruction of this building, stronger town security, and new building projects underway, she worries about his safety.. but it wasn't something she could bring up this concern to him either. not without him brushing her off and insisting that he'd figure something out. she didn't like that uncertainty. ] we might still watch it tonight. i have a handful of streaming services—one of them is bound to have it. you could spend the night over at my place. i'll get our favorite snacks, and we'll properly mourn the destruction of this building. what do you think? / you just reminded me of an edit i saw with some of the characters in diary of a wimpy kid and the song driver's license LMAOOO please tell me yk what i'm referring to
down, girl! it’s just me, chill— haha, sorry ... should’ve knocked.
@leakingdark sounds like a very convenient method of travel. let's do it! i think i have a decently sized bucket you could fit in.
* he shakes his head, waving a hand in dismissal, * nah. i just go ‘bloop’ and chill out in a total liquid form. i’ve gone numerous hours to days just as water before.
@leakingdark sit in a cup? that's new. is that comfortable? wouldn't you feel cramped being in such a small space?
don’t be so shocked that i’m a five-star chef, frankie.
@testedsoul please. [ she says while holding up her nearly empty plate of food. ] yes, please.
right?? it was a good gig. oh well, i’m happier cooking at home and for good folks—of the electrifying kind, too. want anymore fries?
@testedsoul .. you know what, that's actually super valid! sucks that they fired you for it.
of course i knew it was a mannequin—
@testedsoul well, this is *just* a prototype. i'll ask for his feedback and, based on how that goes, i'll start sourcing the parts i'll need to make the real thing. one of our witch friends will be there to help with transferring his soul over. i'm not sure if it'll work, but we're willing to give it a try.
* his brows furrow at six months old—then he remembers, lifts his brows in understanding. his arms cross over his chest, * wow .. heavy baggage. didn’t think it was possible for, y’know, something—someone—made up to be able to feel .. so … broken after something like that. how do you expect he’ll react when this prototype goes live or whatever? think it’ll be enough?
@testedsoul believe it or not, most of my exes are still very fond of me. i was usually the one who broke things off. i'm the one who left him... the day AFTER i created him. [ there's a short silence after, and frankie away from the mannequin to look at her notes. really pulled a grandfather frankenstein mone. she clearly still feels guilty about the whole ordeal. ] not my finest moment. i was young when i created him— well, /younger/. less than six months old at that point.. conjuring up someone better is not an option; conjuring up anyone for the purpose of being a romantic partner would be unethical. i sent the poor guy into an existential crisis after i broke things off. i'm just trying to do right by him now and right some wrongs.
