spoon boy rises

[esperimental]

Be honest with me. Am I losing my mind if I find this Retrospec package comforting to look at for some reason? Or can someone grace me with some artistic interpretation as to why these functionally useless silverware washes me with some wave of relief.

"Memories", sure. But what did these cutlery do to deserve this?

Dude, did you leave your chocolate cutlery out in the sun and then just tossed 'em into the fridge? What the hell!

[HOW DID SOME OF THOSE NOT BREAK SEVEN TIMES OVER GETTING BENT LIKE THAT??]

[esperimental]

I would really like to know how a piece of dessert made me so angry as to grab others' utensils as well.

But no, these aren't actually for sweets. They're regular spoons and forks. Were, anyway.

[explodosafe]

Er, no. I mean like... you know, chocolate in the shape of forks and spoons and wrapped in foil to look like the real thing?

Does cutlery especially for chocolate even exist?

[esperimental]

Oh, that makes much more sense. But if it were a prank, normal shape would probably work better... But it's not foil; almost a shame, I'd take weirdly shaped chocolate over these just inexplicably making me feel happy.

... I don't know, I don't really put anything above being made for ultra-specific purposes if someone has enough money.

Chocolate > weird Retrospec gifts for sure

Point, but can you imagine somebody eating a piece of chocolate with a fork and a knife? that'd need some real dedication!

[esperimental]

Co-signed.

I was thinking of fudge or perhaps chocolate cake when you first mentioned it, and now I'm craving... Maybe I'll indulge when I feel like I actually deserve it, and before all the food colors start being weird for October.

[explodosafe]

Man, don't you go talking about food to me! I haven't eaten anything besides ice cream and yogurt in 3 weeks!!! T____T

What do you mean, when you actually deserve it?

[esperimental]

Wisdom tooth operations?

Nothing too deep in that, just impulse control. [ also awful self-esteem, but that's a personal issue ]

[explodosafe]

All teeth fell out and I have a mouth full of needle-sharp fangs now instead.

You should work on a more positive version of that, in that case. Like "when I do something worth a reward I'll treat myself to it so that I'll have something to look forward to."

> how do you respond to this ]

I'd heard of hair and eye color changes, this sounds unfairly extreme and extremely painful, I'm so sorry. [ it's probably safe to assume no one else knew how to console him either... ] Are you going to see a dentist or are you too afraid of their reaction? It's reasonable a fear.

I'll keep that input in mind. It's a bit hard to really equate anything I do as something grand though, school requirements come really easily to me and chores are nothing special.

[explodosafe]

Not yet, I'm not sure it'd be safe for anyone to stick a part of them in there yet. I might end up biting them. My eyes changed color as well, so I'm going to wait a week and see if people without retrospec still notice it or not after that.

So in other words, you aren't gonna do it. If those things come easy to you, then just pick something else that doesn't.
