[Video] [October 12th]
[Yuri was absolutely not bothered by the Ice Path. In fact he was more than delighted and very glad that Vanitas had shown him this place. Devana, his Bunneary was one of the few with the fur or constitution to enjoy the ice and snow as much as Yuri did and was happily propping Yuri's gear up so it could capture what her trainer was doing.
Which was ice skating.
Yuri had been stuck listening to this strange music wherever he went and it was really within a short amount of time in the Ice Cave that he put something together in his head to the song that haunted his ears here. Might as well make the most of it.
Even if it was a song he was a little fond of at this point. Though he would never admit it.
He was clearly enjoying himself, showing off to what he thought was just Vanitas and the Pokemon the skills that won him gold.]
Van, are you going to try?
He comes to an easy stop, motioning for someone off camera to come over but.. then notices Devana.]
HEY!
[And off goes the feed in a jumble of brown fur and Bunneary giggles.]

[Jack's not actually laughing at the ice skating, not right now anyway, but the idea of Vanitas ever doing it.]
I'd pay good money to see that little shit gliding around on the ice.
Video
As long as you do it too.
Video
Yeah, no, I'm nowhere near ice.

[ Yuri fiddles with the Pokegear, looks thoughtful.. then refocuses on the video. ]
My bad, its only 9,500 but I was close. Send it over while I go get Van, alright?

Video
Deal.
[ Its some minutes later and a screenshot comes from. Definitely from a video, Vanitas on the ice. It was a little shaky, as it was an annoying Bunneary that did it. It was actually already on the gear, but Yuri needed to act like he just put it there.
Now to wait.]
Video
See, it's really important to me to have an embarrassing video I can whip out at parties when a certain somebody's being extra insufferable.
Video
And its really important to me that some old jackass doesn't exploit my friend when he's trying to learn something new. Thanks for the cash, asshole.
[ Video ends. ]
Video
I'm not 'some old jackass', I'm like...he's one of my kids, he calls me 'Pops', I'm not exploiting him. He's family, for cripes sake. It's fun. It's all in fun.

i just thought it'd be nice to have some video of him doing something other than mouthing off or being a sullen teenager, 'cause that's all i get to see. way to make it weird and uncomfortable.
no subject
Maybe there's a reason its all you get to see. Ever think of that? Ever think maybe the weird and uncomfortable thing is some old guy messaging me asking me to prostitute my friend's new experience?
Hey, here's an idea, next time message him yourself. Maybe eventually he'll share embarrassing shit with you freely instead of you having to go behind his back like a creeper.
no subject
yeah, it's called 'he's a teenager'. i've got actual biological and officially adopted kids, i know how it goes. plus...ya know. he's him.
good kid, not exactly Little Mr. Shares A Lot.
wow. wow. you are doing a whole lot of projecting here. because you don't know me, and you don't know our relationship. you're not gonna make me feel shitty about wanting a cute video of one of my kids. cause that kid? he needs me, i'm there.
speaking of, you better pass that money i sent you on to him. or buy him something with it.
(this is beautiful I am crying)
Because he would have sent it to you if he wanted to share it with you.
I don't know why you see him as some complicated unknown thing. He's not complicated. He shares plenty that he wants to share.
I haven't had a problem. So, maybe its just you.
(SAME!)
no he wouldn't.
because he IS a complicated kid. he's...he's had it shitty, even if he won't put it that way. and i get that. and why he deals with it the way he does. because we talk about shit a lot, but it's heavy and personal shit. even if we're hanging out for a family fun weekend or something, he's not...having fun. with anybody. no, i try and get him to play volleyball and we end up having some long talk about the past or existential crap or something. i've been starting to worry he never does anything just to have fun, doesn't have anybody he can just be a kid around.
so forgive me for wanting to see him actually just doing something silly and normal for the hell of it for once. i'm so awful.
and i mean that about the money, i'm gonna check up on that.
no subject
Guess what, I don't hear any deep personal existential shit from him. He doesn't share that with me. I don't ask other people to tell me about it. I don't pay weird old guys on the network to share some nugget of information because I feel entitled to it.
so maybe, just maybe fuckwaffle you should appreciate what you have instead of demanding what he doesn't want to give you.
shit you think I wouldn't want to know more? I would. But I'm not entitled to it. Its not my right and I respect him enough to not steal it from him.
i'm fifteen years old and I know that much. what the hell is your excuse?
no subject
to be honest, i don't even give that much of a shit about the video, i just wanted to make sure you made one hell of an effort to get him to relax and have a little fun. because it's important to me that he does. it's good for him. and i care about his emotional well being.
and knowing how he is about emotional shit and all that, and this being a public network, i didn't want to make a big deal or just say that. but now we can't avoid that, cause you clearly never mastered the ability to read between lines or think critically. and seem to think that me explaining to you WHY this whole thing even matters to me is 'demanding' something. have i asked for the video again? huh? made any attempt to get it, get my money back?
no subject
You get off a lot on control don't you? Even in the little things like this. I've met people like you.
Facts are these. You messaged a stranger who's a friend of your 'kid'. You find out the stranger had some fun private time and you'd pay for it. Stranger tests that. You are fuckin -willing- like some kind of stalker. you get schooled. now you're coming up with excuses and reasons and claiming stranger should read between the lines... after stating stranger knows nothing about you...?
Man, maybe you should be the one thinking critically and maybe messaging Van yourself if you want to talk to him about him having fun with someone -that isn't you-. At least then you're not involving random people in your weird daddy complex.
no subject
no judgment, cupcake. well, there's judgement NOW, but that's because of your crazy responses.
nobody's really a stranger on here, though. we're all part of the same community. but it is a fact that you don't know me, and you're making a lot of wild assumptions based on one conversation. i responded to a public broadcast, made the clearly stupid mistake of cracking a joke to you, and refuted your ludicrous assuming statements.
but what really pisses me off is how you're trying to make it out like my concern and investment in the life of someone that is family is creepy or weird or wrong. van's the only one allowed to make jokes like that.
'cause i may be pretty over the top for some people, my humor might not always hit the mark, and i think a lot of people are idiots. but family's important and i'd do anything for mine.
no subject
Look I had enough people back home buying my private moments that they weren't privy to. I've had people crack that joke in my private life and I've had people actually do it and you know what?
That shit stops being funny when money exchanges hand. When that privacy is violated. I swindled you out of some coin, you're pissed off about it, you're making excuses now as to why it should be okay and its not.
You're no better than a tabloid troll. I don't care if Van is still your family after everything but to me you're that guy who took a joke and then followed through like a fuckin weirdo.
Next time maybe do some critical thinking right?
Stop texting me, its weirding me out now.
no subject
i see where you're coming from now. maybe lead with 'in my experience, this is a creepy and problematic thing, here's why' next time. i know all about people trying to get access to actual private stuff, it sucks.
'cause here's the thing: i'm rich, so the money means nothing to me. and i don't see this as something private or privileged or anything. so to me, it was honestly nothing more than joking around with somebody i assumed was the same as me and van and wanting a little video. your friends with him so i just figured you have the same sense of humor. it's the same as if there was a post about any of my kids doing something it'd give me the warm fuzzies to see. and i got pissed off cause yeah, family is important to me. especially right now, i recently lost one of my daughters so it's kinda on my mind that mementos and memories are important. it came off really wrong. my bad, kid. i'm sorry it got all out of hand.
there was just a lot of miscommunication going on. that's all.
