After senior potions in the afternoon.

[indiefolk]

Ugh, Potions was terrible. I'm screwed if Elmasry puts anything about how to brew Amortentia on the test.

But I get it, it was sooooo adorable, and I hope you all took a deep breath and got to experience the scent of your "true love". Who finds the love of their life at seventeen anyway, right??? I'm such an idi Hmmmm. I'm trying to train myself to be less of a romantic, but I can't really pull off bitter misanthrope, can I? I got as harsh as passive aggressive quotation marks. It feels kind of weak.

Classmates, please advise on how to better renounce love. Chris? Ravi?

[Warded to Cricket]

Hey! So... This is a little out of the blue, but could I ask for your help with something? It's a crafting project. A friendship bracelet.

[Warded to Etta]

I know you're a busy woman with a lot of things to do, but are you free tonight? I'm dying in my cabin. I need a break from Levi and Cecil. They're getting too cute.

I haven't renounced

Focus on your hobbies?

[indiefolk]

My primary hobby makes me reference romance a lot.

[riledup]

F- I do not like bitter misanthrope Diego pls bring back my cheerbud

[indiefolk]

Bitter misanthrope Diego is more like whiny tired Diego, but I promise I'll put back on the cheery face for cheer.

What do you mean by renounce

Fuck if I know, I don't fall in love and I keep befriending people who dump me. Probably because my ability to woo is just too strong. They just can't quit me. Quinn can verify this.

What you need is a new distraction. It's easy to stop thinking about somebody when you got somebody new to think about. All you gotta do is do that for the rest of your life and you'll never have to worry about renouncing love.

[quinning]

This is objectively true. You can't get rid of Chris once you've started dating him, even if you break up; he's like a parasite.

[indiefolk]

Who said I needed to stop thinking about someb

Ah, the "settling" tactic. What do you do if they fall for you, and you're still hung up on someone else? Not that this is my specific problem, but it's a reasonable question.

[quinning]

Throw everything you've got into a sport. I find there's a direct correlation between the effectiveness of this strategy, and the likelihood of getting a concussion.

[noblewon]

Seconded.

[cecaelian]

Seriously? There's considerably more useful things to do than spend all your time mooning over classmates, but renouncing love is a rather dramatic response to brewing Amortentia. And probably a little late, considering your track record.

[indiefolk]

Okay, well, that's... not unwarranted. Maybe I'm just preemptively taking myself off of the dating market because of [...] reasons.

[paytee.insanejournal.com]

Ooooooh boy I've got some albums for you to feast them ears upon.

[indiefolk]

I'm going to take you up on that. If nothing else, I could use some new sounds, you know?

[cmdrchloe]

No way!! Don't renounce love and being a romantic! That's so sad. Just keep being adorable! Wait, I didn't Aaaahhhh

[riledup]

D could not stop being adorable if he tried and I think he's DEFINITELY trying.

[unregrettable]

My true love smelled like brownies. I'm not saying my true love is a brownie, but based on the evidence...

[Diego]
I think I could pencil you into my schedule.

[noblewon]

Okay, but that's a great true love.

[addytives]

You ok, bb?
I can help you with the potion if it looks like it's on the test! I know it's a kinda weird one.

[indiefolk]

Yeah, just being dramatic.

Uh, actually that might be nice. Obviously it's not a "let's make this out of class" kind of potion, but I always skip steps. I'm looking at my notes now, and honestly it's a miracle I didn't make something explode.

[noblewon]

Dude, you could just come join Coppertale Fightclub, that'll take your mind right off it.

[noblewon]

... Coppertale Fight club isn't a real thing, by the way.

[datasstho]

On the real though, Diego. My name is Olivia Sanchez, I'd give you a business card but seeing as you're nowhere near my vicinity, that might be difficult. I have a small business where I teach unsuspecting badasses how to be suspecting badasses. If you're in the business of a new painful hobby, I am more than willing to pencil you in.

[riledup]

She's also got a sweet ass, D, you should take her up on this just to look at her ass.

LOVE IS JUST A BIOLOGICAL WHATEVER TO MAKE YOU FEEL WHATEVER FOR WHATEVER SCIENCE REASON

[indiefolk]

YES EXACTLY THANK YOU. Science is always there to help me out.

Diego

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

Hey man.

Zoey/Diego

[indiefolk]

Hey Z.

How're you doing?

Diego/Cecil

[choneychurch]

I guess I won't ask if you're okay. But. Can I help at all? Did something happen? If you need to talk, you know I'm always here, right?

[...]

You've got such a good heart, Diego. You shouldn't ever try to change that.

Diego/Cecil

[indiefolk]

I'm alright, I'm just... thinking. Jokes aside, I guess it just reminded me that I'm kind of lonely. And I'm the only person to blame for that.

[...] You know I couldn't really change, even if I wanted to. You're stuck with me this way, big public displays of my frustration and all.

[puphart]

Yeah but didn't you do this to yourse

[puphart]

Quill problems. :(

Don't give up, Diego!! Love is important! Maybe you just need to look somewhere else?

Cricket/Diego

[chryseis]

Crafts! My one weakness. Of course I will gladly pass on my talents, but I must know who it is for first.

Cricket/Diego

[indiefolk]

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist!

It's for Cecil. He made me this friendship bracelet that he pretty obviously spent a ton of time on, because it's Cecil and of course he did, but he didn't make a matching one for himself. So I said I was on it, but I have no idea how to make one.

[bambae]

Wait I have a better idea. Since we're all starved for parties because somebody fucked it up for us, we should throw a rave. ...a drugless ... rave. The best way to get over someone is to find someone new to hook up with at a rave.

[indiefolk]

Good call, I think we're all losing our collective minds.

[gdilevi]

I still have a headache from my whiff. Worth it.

[Lego]

Heart to heart. I'm worried about you.

[indiefolk]

Was it good? Because I would have bathed in mine if that was an option.

[Lego]

I'm okay. It just got me thinking too much. Made me realize some things.

[henshinyo]

This is the saddest thing I have read all day. :(

[indiefolk]

I know. I'm going to have to take vows or take up boxing, I haven't decided which.

[magitechnically]

You're being weird again.

[wilhelmeana]

Did he ever STOP?
