Hi everyone! Sorry, I know this is going to be kind of a mundane request, since I'm sure it's been asked before. But, is anyone offering self-defense lessons? I'd really like to start learning, since it seems like an important thing to know.

I guess this is only kind of related, but I'm mostly just curious. Do you have powers, like everyone's been saying? What do they do? I can't imagine how I'd feel if I woke up one day with superpowers! I'm kinda surprised I don't see more people in capes!

Anyway, thanks! I hope everyone is staying safe out there!

is this a general i want to learn self defense thing
or is this a retrospec is terrorizing me and i want to learn how to kick their ass thing

also for your second question
no powers
no capes
but plenty of spandex

[unromanceable]

Um, well... they haven't terrorized me personally, but I'm really angry about what they're doing! Oh, but that's not related to me learning self-defense... not exactly, anyway. I just want to learn because it seems like it's going to be really important for me to know how to protect myself!

What do you mean?

superheroes aren't just dudes in a t shirt and jeans with a cape slapped on
they've always got the whole spandex outfit, underwear on the outside thing going on
pastme/otherme/whatever you wanna call it didn't have superpowers and neither do i
but he/i do have one of those spandex outfits

you know that self-defense isn't gonna help you if retrospec comes after you though right

[unromanceable]

So, wait, were you some kind of sidekick?

... comes after me?

[frostythehitman]

PARTNER
not sidekick
P A R T N E R

and yeah what else are they gonna do
they come after all of us sooner or later
it's kind of a crapshoot how badly they'll mess with you
but if you're on the app it's coming and no amount of self defense is gonna stop it
sorry to burst your bubble

[unromanceable]

Um, okay. Do you talk this way to everyone you meet? Like you know better than they do.

when it comes to retrospec newbies yeah
i've been on this app for nearly a year
newbies deserve to know what's gonna get thrown their way before they get blindsided by it
