hey so quick question
how do I explain why I bleed ink to my boyfriend

-yes he's already seen it
-I was cutting up vegetables and scratched a finger
-it'd be great if someone could give advice relatively soon because I don't know how long 'I need to lie down and then I'll talk to you about it' will work, he's still panicking he's just not demanding an answer right this second

thanks for the help

It's worth trying. Better than the alternatives.

[commandertoolbelt]

so what's your alternative
telling the truth?
or telling him you're some kind of ink demon

[thesettingsun]

Those two are basically the same thing.

[commandertoolbelt]

for real?
i was joking

[thesettingsun]

Ink spirit, but close enough. Nothing that I could easily explain.

[commandertoolbelt]

and i thought being a demigod was hard to explain
definitely go with the mutation thing

[thesettingsun]

Demigod of what, exactly?

[commandertoolbelt]

what do you mean demigod of what
greece, i guess? hephaestus?

[thesettingsun]

Domain is what I meant, like if you're the demigod of forest fires or markets or whatever.

You're that other kind of demigod. I got you.

[commandertoolbelt]

"other kind"
what other kinds are there
"domain" is more of a god thing, we just inherit our parents' powers sometimes

[thesettingsun]

Sometimes regular mortals are elevated to demigodhood? I don't know, I took mythology in literature ages ago.

[commandertoolbelt]

news to me
as far as i know our demigods are just the gods' kids with a mortal
i think they can be made into gods but that's different

[thesettingsun]

You'd know more than I would about your local variety of demigods. It'd be great if you had something to say about ink/book spirits too, but I'm pretty sure those are unique to my past life's world.
