Yeah he mentioned you, that he liked you. And then went on about how my magic was a flaw - because that's how he flirts I guess?
I called him out on belittling my magic, yours, us and all. He then went on about how he knew it was bad from his world and apparently judges everyone on that. But hey, he has a friend that does magic so it wasn't all total bullshit, right?
He challenged me to prove to him it isn't all as nasty as he says. His word not mine. Fuck that.
Sure whatever. Maybe he's a nice guy but fuck that kind of shit talking about what we do like that. Most of those that matter to me do magic and I'm just fucking pissed.
yeah, he has some issues. you remember when we planned the bacchanal?
[ Which he says as if it was forever ago, when it was really just a few months. For Nate it's been far longer. ]
he was the guy who asked if i was gonna have love potions to force people into shit and i kind of went off on him
he has his biases it's one of those things where we're supposed to be nice about it and prove the doubters wrong when they're the ones ready to blame all of us for what someone else did
Oh. It's that guy. Why am I not surprised? Given the city he's in, I would say why would someone have to as if you would ever do that.
yeah i don't see myself doing that. i'm finally at a place where i accept who and what i am and love my magic instead of fearing it. i'm not letting some asshole make me think i should apologize for it so he'll sleep with me.
the worst part? it's reminding me of that shit david pulled as if i'm not good enough as i am and have to prove i'm worthy. whether because of mark or magic and...
i have better than that. i have you an the coven. I have Chris and fucked as this place is i have my magic and the new ones i've learned and fucking hell.
i dont think different. i know what magic means. not just to me but all the good we do here. dreamless draught and healing potions and what we're doing for oli. how dare someone whine because he knew city magic workers?
and i know how good my coven is and those i love. its why i want to basically smash in his face but just not use magic to do it.
and yes, i know i shouldn't and that isn't the answer. just sounds satisfying in my head.
it's going to. i'll try but... i've had horrible things happen to me, Nate. I could hate magic workers too, or vampires or, hell, even aliens. but i refuse to judge everyone on those that hurt me.
you don't do it either. neither does anyone around me.
[ They judge individual people but not everyone like them. ]
and that's why its pissing me off. how dare he, you know?
also, isn't going around with a knife in your tracksuit a very bad idea?
sounds like a problem that will solve itself with time.
i know you're not. i'm just ranting. i'm pissed and instead of breaking shit i texted you. that's growth right?
the best people in this place are at the theatre. we're witches and magic workers and hot daddy sorcerers and we're doing what we can for everyone else in this place because we want to help.
you know what i hate the most? worrying someone like him will take up where like the witch hunters in my world left off. where other hunters have and start trying to eliminate all witches here.
there is a guy to watch out for. matthias helvar, he was on the network recently
but by and large we have a magic-positive community hear. john - irving, i mean, one of the men from the boat - was telling me i had helped him move past his magic biases. he's a strongly christian guy from the victorian age, so. he had certain opinions but knowing me helped i want to show other people they can trust us. i think educating them helps to fight the bias but they need to have an open mind, first.
oh yeah, him. he who would rather blame a woman than this place. i talked to him when he went off like a mad man. cheerful sort of person becomes a witch hunter, huh?
i'm not going to attack randall if that's what you're talking about. why i won't "show" him how we're not all ritual sacrifice and shit. which he actually said, nate. literally. because if i did something he didn't like, he'd probably scream i had attacked him. not giving the jerk the opening.
in the end though? the one thing my personal magic is good for is combat. i won't start shit but i damn well will protect those that are mine. especially against witch haters and hunters.
yeah well i'm not wild about him insulting my boyfriend in the first place
listen here's the thing. the theatre is a safe space ours, first and foremost so if there's someone you don't want there, they don't come there. end of discussion, you don't have to justify yourself to me.
i love you. you don't have to thank me, i know for an absolute fact you'd do the same for me because you had my back with jon i'll have your back with randall

listen to me, you are always good enough. i don't care what anyone else says, they're wrong and you deserve better than that, caleb
don't let this guy make you think any different.
we can keep him away from the theatre.

in his defence i think some really bad shit went down with magic users in his world
which isn't an excuse, i mean it's not unlike assuming every teenager in a tracksuit's carrying a knife in their underwear
it's still wrong. but he has had some pretty terrible shit happen to him
i'm sorry he judged you though. it's bullshit to assume all magic is evil just because one witch was.
no subject
you don't do it either. neither does anyone around me.

how dare he, you know?

no subject
but listen, i know. i'm not saying he's right, at all. he's like categorically not.
you don't have to prove anything to anyone, none of us do.
but hey if we're better people than the others around us, that's good enough for me. fuck everyone else tbh.

we won't let that happen.
i promise you
the people here have no reason to fear us, and we're going to keep it that way. i'm going to keep it that way.

thank you. i really appreciate it, nate.

i love you. you don't have to thank me, i know for an absolute fact you'd do the same for me because you had my back with jon
i'll have your back with randall
are you sure you're okay?
no subject
because you deserved to be appreciated.
i've always got your back.
even if it means worrying or saying what you don't want to hear or slamming someone through a wall.
if i ever had to.
i'm... damned if I know.
pissed and worried and wanting to just protect you guys at all costs and there's not a threat.
but it feels like one.
no subject
i'm so sorry, c.
we're safe. as safe as we can possibly be, i promise
it'd take a hell of a hunter to break through those wards. we've all contributed to them, fort knox would open easier
no subject
definitely took me back
i feel better for ranting at you. so thanks.
i know we are. i've been there through so much of whats been done to protect us there.
just a reminder why i mostly stay to our circle.
