unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

top level

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

to tell them why they're wrong, validate a kindred spirit, or just troll them for caring about such a silly-ass thing in the first place.

I meant more like... refined protein powders and the like.
But an intestinal parasite wouldn't have been the worst thing they left with me.

[skeddie]

Sorry you got worse than a tapeworm. You seem cool.

[horticulturalist]

Yeah?
Well. Thanks. It is what it is. I'm not going to say it wasn't wholly undeserved.

What about you? What do you want to do when you're older.
Aside from cuss without earning your mother's ire.

[skeddie]

Yeah. A lot of adults either ignore me or think I'm some kinda baby. But you talk like a person who's actually seen other human beings before.

I wanna be a doctor. I think I'd be good at it. I know a lot about germs and shit that could kill you. And one time I stitched up a friend's cut with my first aid kit.

[horticulturalist]

Heh. There's an irony to that that's just rich.
But I think maybe a lot of people forget how much they knew already, when they were a kid.

Yeah? Was it gross? I bet it was gross.

[skeddie]

How's it ironic?

It was super gross but I'm not afraid of blood. I was more pissed off than anything. This dipshit bully from school cut Ben in the stomach for pretty much no reason.

[horticulturalist]

Because I'm not a person who's actually talked with another normal human being in years.

Jesus. School really hasn't changed much since the 30's, huh? I could not get out of there fast enough.

[skeddie]

Well you haven't forgotten a thing. You're really good at talking.

Yeah, it sucks a lot. My friends are really cool but we all get picked on. That's how we got to be friends in the first place, sticking together and shit.

Wait, you were in school in the 30s? I didn't know you were that old. So correct my compliment to be extra good at talking.

[horticulturalist]

Excellent. I know some people I can definitely lord that over.

Sounds familiar. A couple of close friends and whole bunch of people out to hurt you. You sound like a... tough kid than I was though. You'll do all right.

I did have a few good years there. After high school mostly. Had my looks. People liked me. Worked on my social skills. It's good to know I'm not too rusty.

[skeddie]

I don't feel tough most of the time. ...but I did kick ass in a rock fight once!

Do you gotta have good looks for people to like you when you're older?

[horticulturalist]

Me either. But I after a while, you look at all the stuff you walked away from and maybe that counts for something. See! Survived a rock fight. That's gotta earn some toughness points.

No. Not... not exactly. But it sure as hell doesn't hurt.

[skeddie]

Hahahaha! My friend Richie's gonna have a bad time then, he's really ugly.

[horticulturalist]

Harsh.
A lot can change after 12. Don't count Richie out yet.

[skeddie]

He came here to talk shit about me so I can count him out as much as I want.

[horticulturalist]

He did?
He sounds like kind of a shitty friend. Why would he do that?

[skeddie]

Yeah, he's the guy who came in after me to say Akuma was stupid. That's my favorite character to play with in Street Fighter. That's a video game.

I dunno. He's always messing with people. Me the most though. But we have a lot of fun too. We go to the arcade a lot, that's how he knows my favorite character. And we hang out in a clubhouse with the rest of our friends, that's pretty cool.

[horticulturalist]

Wow. Every bit of that makes me feel old.

I get it. I've had friends like that. Being a bit of a dick is, weirdly, how some people tell you they like you.

[skeddie]

You should try going to the arcade sometime. It's fun!

Well duh. He's my friend. We wouldn't be friends if he hated me. I mean, it's annoying as hell, but I'm good at getting him back.

[horticulturalist]

Yeah? What should I uhh... like what game should I play? Something for a real beginner.

Just checking. Not everybody can spot a friend who isn't actually a friend.

[skeddie]

Um... Pac Man! Or Tetris! Or Frogger!

I'm pretty sure he's my best friend so I think I'll be okay. Thanks for looking out for me.

[horticulturalist]

Am I gonna need quarters? I'll have to get some quarters.

Oh. Well. You're welcome.
What's your name again?

[skeddie]

Yeah. You're gonna need a shitload of quarters. Especially if you're not very good, which you won't be 'cause you're new.

Oh! Sorry. My name's Eddie. My mom would kill me for talking to strangers but you seem okay. What's your name?

[horticulturalist]

Good to know. I wonder if I can still get into my bank account.

Nice to meet you Eddie.
I'm Larry.

[skeddie]

Because you're old? Probably. If you have your account number you can still get in. I have a savings account so I can tell you the latest. Also I volunteer as a form of ID if you need it.

[horticulturalist]

Well. That. And because I haven't shown my face—or any other face— in a bank for some fifty years. Hope I have any of that paper work still.

Maybe I'll take you up on that.
We need to verify your ID Mister Trainor.
Just call Eddie.
