[ The best way to deal with crippling revelations is to make inane posts. Well. Maybe not so inane since he is genuinely lost. ]

What is the different between a boyfriend and a boy friend? Are there various levels of friendship that are distinguished by sex? The online literature on this subject is perplexing in nature. How does one earn these titles?

shut up SHUT UP
Why can't you just ask me about Midgardian culture!!

[dothelokimotion]

[ Huh. ]

Why would I?

[ikols]

What about me screams 'I have never been to Midgard'!?

[dothelokimotion]

I couldn't tell. I'm not well-versed in these things.

[ read: he's an asshole and this is funny. ]

[ikols]

[ HE IS AN ASSHOLE AND THIS ISN'T FUNNY. Loki's rep!! ]

Who SO POORLY introduced you to the term in question??

[dothelokimotion]

A man named Leonard McCoy. Apparently people no longer use the term lover. It is too archaic.

[ikols]

[ McCoy, ur on his shit list. ]

Call them what they are, One Night Stands.

[dothelokimotion]

I thought that would be prostitution. Did Midgard invent new terms for everything?

[ikols]

NOT UNLESS YOU ARE GETTING PAID

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps I shall invest some money to procure you a boy friend then.

[ikols]

Being a facetious whelp is really helping you talk yourself out of something I had planned.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Damn. That piques his curiosity. ]

What have you planned?

[ikols]

[ HAH. ]

You're no longer invited.

[dothelokimotion]

[ "Invited" implies a place or an event. ]

Oh dear. I suppose I will make do with paying Stark to explain these one night stands with me.

[ikols]

[ His life is a sitcom nightmare, that's what this is. ]

Which Stark? Why in Odin's name are you PAYING that man for ANYTHING???

[dothelokimotion]

Both, perhaps. After all, I do not know what the rules are to these strange and mysterious new customs. I must start somewhere.

[ikols]

You are winning no games, striking no blows except those LITERALLY against yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

And yet, I'm enjoying myself completely.

[ikols]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

[dothelokimotion]

I plan to. In fact, I believe that's how enjoyment works.

Why are you so bothered? I'm hardly your concern unless it is a concern for the damage I could cause.

[ikols]

You'll notice how the Starks don't go around asking people what a plug socket is.

[dothelokimotion]

[ So this is about reputation. ]

They might benefit from time to time if they did.

Besides, I hardly care for my reputation in Midgardian culture and romantic entanglements. Humans are far more creative in that area than I.

[ikols]

You sound like an idiot by Asgardian standards too.

[dothelokimotion]

[ This is an odd benefit that Loki has not predicted. Which is worrying because he does not know what to make of it either. ]

Even better.

[ikols]

[ You are worse than the Boy. ]

You sound like FANDRAL.
