[Okay so he sucks at staying away from the network, but this is important, hopefully not even slightly controversial, and short.]

With all the talk of training powers in dreams, how the Aerie is (or was) connected to this reality, and so on, I was wondering something. Has anyone who had powers in the Aerie tried using them here?

[There is definitely no reason he's asking this question other than curiosity. Absolutely none.]

That one thing that makes me glad I don't make it to 2016.

yeah okay fair enough

All that out of the way, how have you actually been doing?

god damn it lance

( it never works, you are so annoying )

I don't know man
sam's back
i accidentally teleported into cas's shower
I got like fifty thousand cool whatever followers in the last 2 days
people keep freakin taking pictures with stupid hashtags any time i wait in line too long anywhere
shrike club only has 2 rules and it's about to roll tide as the next hip thing that wants to kick our asses
but I had the best chocolate cake I've ever had in my life yesterday so I guess it all balances out

[Look, clearly Dean does want to talk since it hardly takes any effort to get him to do so, so really this just keeps encouraging Lance to ask.]

How's Sam doing?

That must've been awkward.

I didn't get quite that many, but otherwise same here and it's so creepy.

Having been a former member of Aerie Shrike club, this Shrike club is going probably going to be a problem, yeah.

Wait, where did you get chocolate cake?

( So, yeah, okay, maybe it's nice to talk to somebody who isn't Cas or Sam about his Stuff. Way fewer complicated strings attached, particularly with the former. )

Staring holes in my head trying to psychically get me to spill my guts to him. Pretending like he's not as screwed up about what happened as he is. So. Pretty average.

You have no freakin idea

I'm willing to bet you five million dollars you aren't getting half as many unsolicited dick pics as I am. I wanna pry this implant out of my head.

Turns out if you're a celebrity sometimes people just give you ridiculous expensive crap for no reason. It was this little old rich lady and I'm like 99% sure she killed her husband and she's spending his fortune on baking herself slowly to the grave.

I guess that's better than it could be.

I'm going to hazard a guess that you didn't talk to him about it.

You'd be right, and I'm thankful. Is there a way to turn block people? There has to be, right?

Oh, that's awesome. I got a free drink at a cafe I went into, which was really nice of them, but nothing chocolate. I'm jealous, even if it might've been from a murderer.

Yeah, no, once you do a tour in hell pretty much everything after that is just like a bad hair day. He'll be fine.

Does "oops" count

Dude I have no idea, it took me like an hour to figure out how to upload a photo when I made this god damn thing. that's about the extent of my mastery of it.

Well she gave it to a murderer so who am I to judge

Having been through something 'worse' doesn't actually make new traumatic experiences any less so.

That's not even really a word, so no.

I'll look into it. There's got to be a block button or some sort of settings to avoid direct messages or something.

If you're referring to what happened in the Aerie, that's kind of a different situation than potentially murdering your husband for money.

I don't know, man. The kind of crap we've seen? Let's just say it leaves you a little desensitized. That was our
I don't know, fourth alternate life or something
I'm losing friggin track.

screw you, oops is a word

that would be literally the best thing I could ever get out of therapy

all I'm saying is if the dude died so she could make that cake?
worth it

I'm not saying you or he have to be affected by all of this in the way a lot of people have been, just that you aren't necessarily immune to it either. Don't write off the potential that either of you might need to take some time to work through this just because you've experienced worse is all I mean.

Fine, then it's one word, which still doesn't count.

You could get a lot better than social media knowledge out of therapy.

I guess so. Depends on the guy.

[He is absolutely not actually condoning murder but. Still.]

I bet you're one of those guys who signed the petition to make pluto not be a planet anymore

( you and your god damn "oops" shade, shame on you )

pff doubt it

if the dude's rich on this planet odds are he's a total ted cruz

Do I really give off astrophysicist vibes?

You could try therapy and find out.

Ted Cruz?

you mean assholephysicist vibes, pluto deserved better

hard pass

wait
you don't
know who ted cruz is? did you not have a ted cruz?

oh no
wait
okay I know what it is
you're probably too dead for ted
dude started getting popular because he ran against Trump, and then everybody started calling him the zodiac killer

[There's so much wtf contained in this, but most importantly--]

Why the Zodiac Killer?

he posted some tweet about this speech he called the Zodiac Speech or something, I don't remember, not important

next thing you know the internet's going full 4chan on this whole fake conspiracy theory about it being a zodiac killer confession

the memes were hilarious

also
a little convincing

That's absolutely ridiculous.

[But it really does also sound hilarious.]

The best part?
After it went viral, Ted Cruz tweeted a picture of the zodiac killer cypher
swear to god

Does he have an actual sense of humor or something? Are politicians allowed to have those?

oh hell no he's like if ross from friends fathered a child with every single republican, I'm pretty sure it was just for the attention

by the way don't get the wrong impression, I understand like nothing about politics, here's a list of everything I know:

1. trump getting elected president was probably foreshadowing to that next apocalypse
2. ted cruz is the zodiac killer
3. thanks obama will never not be funny
r. nobody cares about the emails
5. if they don't stop playing born in the usa & the 9/11 song I'm gonna lee harvey oswald someone

Wow.

And I understood like half of those points and it's only that many because you've filled me in, so you can at least take solace in knowing more than I do.

[He does actually know a decent amount about politics in general so this is sort of a lie, but not much of one. Politics is the worst.]
