@furiaei said: shut up and dance with me, okay? ( for Chrollo bc shenanigans )
party sentence starters
Chrollo is content to stick to the sidelines and observe rather than participate. It is something that one becomes rather quickly aware of once they realize it, but to reach the realization often takes far longer than people realize. Chrollo walks like a ghost among people. He observes, watches, and interacts in certain ways. But no matter how crowded a place might be, it was as if he was an evanescent existence: bound to last but a short time before his corporal form would disappear. It doesn't, of course, he is just a man. But the times he disappears without notice make it seem as if he had never been there at all. He leaves little physical proof of his existence.
Even at this party, Chrollo is content to linger like fog through the streets. He chatters with the odd soul that crosses to his path, a chat that might seem like meeting god at the bus stop on a rainy night. Something that you can't quite recall if it truly happened or not. He is content like this until Mya grabs his wrist and draws the spider out from his web in the corner. He protests, and blinks at being shushed. And here is where the unshaking grace and calm of the spider fractures delicately.
" I don't know how to dance like this. " He admits when he leans closer with a smile that's tinged with a youthful ignorance. It doesn't matter that those around him are close in age, nor his terrifying ability to adapt to any situation and done masks. This one seems to leave him stumped as he glances around. " I only know slow dances. And a tango or two. " Outdated for what his appearance and age would suggest, but somehow makes sense for the elusive enigma that is Chrollo Lucilfer.
" You might have fun with another partner. " He adds after a second, letting his gaze sweep over the club floor. At least others are enjoying themselves far too much to pay much attention to this discussion. It is a bit embarrassing to admit to there being something he can't do that comes so naturally to others.

stuck between "psychological horror statement" and "objectively the funniest thing you could say to your real flesh and blood dad" in the father's day card aisle

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go "it's coriander" and his friend goes very seriously "he can't have coriander" and I'm thinking shit ok maybe he's allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I'm thinking shit shit shit he's probably breaking out in hives rn and it's my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says "I fucking hate coriander"

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

I once had a landlord offhandedly mention that his mother had set this house on fire before. He and his wife lived on the first floor, and i rented the third.
Apparently his mom didn’t like his wife. So she set their house on fire. The house i was living in.
He assured me that everything was fine now and that this was years ago, just kinda laughed, smiled, and said ‘You know how moms are’
Yes. I know how moms are. I know how fucked up moms are as well. I have known many fucked up moms and fellow children of fucked up moms.
Attempted murder through arson is not typical mom behavior, even for a fucked up abusive mom
Oh, and his mother lived next door 🙃
