is "you look like you go to hot topic" considered a compliment or an insult?

i've had this said to me before a few times but i woke up today with my eye color changed and now even more people are telling me this

i do not know hot topic's reputation enough to know if i want to be associated with it. please help

They're visibly different from 'normal' people in the way they dress and some of their interests, and a lot of people are stupid when it comes to people who are different than them. That's about it.

[ohrlyeh]

oh

that sounds virtually the same as many other groups. do people like conformity that much

[thesettingsun]

Yes. Yes they do.

[ohrlyeh]

thats terrible

let people be weird. it doesn't hurt them

[thesettingsun]

People are terrible sometimes.

I promise I will still like you no matter what weird color your eyes are, or even if you turn into a giant cat.

[ohrlyeh]

thanks

being a big cat would be a dream though

cats don't have responsibilities

[thesettingsun]

That's the dream. You've got to make sure you aren't too big of a cat or there won't be a window big enough for you to lie in the sun under it.

[ohrlyeh]

a big cat but not big enough

i would be okay with that

the sad thing is that cats can't eat chocolate :(

[thesettingsun]

Maybe you can be a magical cat that can eat chocolate? I remembered a cat that talks, a cat that eats chocolate isn't too much of a stretch.

[ohrlyeh]

remembered? what like in your retrospec past life??

[thesettingsun]

I definitely didn't remember a talking cat from this life.

[ohrlyeh]

you never know

i mean we already have domes and monsters so a talking cat isn't out of the question

[thesettingsun]

That's a good point.

But no, I think this talking cat worked in a library with me?

[ohrlyeh]

so it was a cat who could read i guess

do you remember petting the cat. was it pettable

[thesettingsun]

I don't remember petting it, but you probably could have if you were polite about it?
