[ they are both frequent shoppers at the fantasy hot topic, yes. ]
Well. When you're used to everyone going out of their way to demean you and make you miserable, it's hard to imagine anyone might really approach you with good intentions, even if they're supposedly an ally.
[ ugh, gross, this just sounds like he's talking about himself. which he guesses he kind of is. fuck. ]
So, you know. It's probably something like that, combined with the fear that you're going to replace him.
Well, obviously, [ you're not a fucking necromancer ] but as far as taking the lion's share of Louis's attention.
I'd say it can't hurt but that would definitely be a lie. Knock yourself out if you want to try it though; if being insufferably overpersistent turns out to be the secret you've got a better shot than anyone.
[ this is all very insightful. both for the fact that glodell is giving him advice, and also because he is not unaware that glodell is enough like zorba where this advice could in some ways be coming from zorba himself. will is also fairly cognizant of certain other things, like the fact that he is not actually uncomfortable with maintaining an antagonistic relationship with zorba if the man is truly beyond outreach, and the fact that zorba's issues do seem significantly worse than glodell's.
that being said, the young elda's next question is this: ]
[ kind of like him. glodell's always careful to call him 'lord louis' to his face and when speaking with his more ardent followers, but they sure haven't been referring to him by any kind of title in this conversation. ]
I mean, it's both a literal physical act and a derogatory way of describing someone who's desperately trying to suck up to the owner of the dick in question.
You're so eloquent, Glodell... You should debate Julian!
[ this is despite the fact that will debated both glodell and julian and humiliated both of them in public somehow... this little airheaded thing he does is so bratty. at the same time, somehow it's hard to tell whether will is actually an airhead or if it's just an act he puts on. (it's at least 50% genuine. wowww, glodell uses big words sometimes!) ]
No, I understand your concern, but that is what I mean.
Oh, shut up, I went to school, of course I know words. Don't patronise me.
[ he's like, a nerd who publicly rebranded himself as a tough punk. ]
If that was your question you could have just asked that in the first place. [ without bringing the brownnoser implications into it. ] Anyway, what the hell do you care?
Are you just going to list everyone we both know??
[ also louis IS a maybe but HE NEVER SAID THAT!!! rude
anyway this one he actually pauses at because he would in fact totally date basilio if he thought he was interested and wouldn't be a jerk to him but he clearly isn't so this is a moot point!!!!!

Oh, no, I don't think I could ever... replace him...
Maybe I should try to talk to him until he understands that?
no subject

Glodell?
What's the phrase you used...
Oh
Do I seem like I want to ride Louis's dick?
no subject
You seem much less sincere about it.
[ kind of like him. glodell's always careful to call him 'lord louis' to his face and when speaking with his more ardent followers, but they sure haven't been referring to him by any kind of title in this conversation. ]
And a lot less desperate.
no subject
he'd press glodell on this more if he wasn't generally concerned about keeping some degree of secrecy around his real intentions. ]
Do you want to ride Louis's dick?
no subject
[ the nuance of dickriding... ]
no subject
[ so complicated... ]

No, I understand your concern, but that is what I mean.
Do you find Louis attractive?
no subject
[ he's like, a nerd who publicly rebranded himself as a tough punk. ]
If that was your question you could have just asked that in the first place. [ without bringing the brownnoser implications into it. ] Anyway, what the hell do you care?
no subject
[ he had a private tutor instead, but... ]
You know who Strohl is, right? My friend, the clemar with the sword...
Anyway, I want to know what kind of person you'd be interested in! Maybe I know someone who would fit the bill.
Junah keeps asking me what my "type" is and I don't even know what to tell her...
no subject
[ and how much money you have and what tribe you're a part of. fortunately he's privileged in all ways except physically!!! ]
Ugh. Pass, I don't need you trying to set me up.
[ also his feelings about louis's dick are complicated. he would suck it while being secretly angry the whole time because he fucking hates him. ]

All right, well, I can at least tell you that HE is definitely NOT my type.
[ but sure, he GUESSES he's pretty, until he opens his mouth or poses with a corpse. still not his thing though. ]
no subject
So it's a no to Zorba, maybe to Louis...
How about Basilio?
no subject
[ also louis IS a maybe but HE NEVER SAID THAT!!! rude
anyway this one he actually pauses at because he would in fact totally date basilio if he thought he was interested and wouldn't be a jerk to him but he clearly isn't so this is a moot point!!!!!
rggghh ]
He's fine, I guess.
no subject
[ will is feeling so smug right now. look at him... bullying glodell into a conversation...! ]
If Fidelio weren't always reminding him to be a little mean to everyone, I think he'd be even nicer, too.
Hmm, I feel like I've learned more about you...
no subject
I didn't say any of that, fuck off!!!
no subject
of course... of course it would be the ears... ]
But I'm not wrong, right?
no subject
I'm not discussing this and you will not say a word about it to him if you know what's good for you!!
[ DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH SHIT HE'D GET FOR IT??? ]
