[12:04] PH: Reeeeeeeally
[12:06] PH: I su??ose my advice to you, if that is indeed the case, would be to be clever about antagonizing her.
[12:07] PH: You have ?ointed out that she is smug and su?erior and often corrects you.
[12:07] PH: Do you know what she loves? What she values?
[12:07] PH: You should find out and then seek to turn those things against her, or at least cause them to be more "yours."
[12:07] PH: You should move in on her territory.
[12:08] PH: Des?ise each other -- but make it so you must work together, or against each other, because it is necessary!
[12:08] LA: A mataphori¢a£ ho$ti£€ tak€ov€r oƒ $ort$?
[12:12] PH: "Meta?horical"? Hell no. You take her stuff. Use it in ways you know she'd loathe. Be better than her! And where that just isn't ?ossible, counteract with something else. Don't tell her you hate her! Don't sign off with cutesy s?ades until your argument is heated and smoking!
[12:12] PH: Be a badass! Be an asshole! That last really shouldn't be such a stretch for you, Scam.
[12:12] LA: Thank ¥ou.
[12:13] PH: And be aware of the situation. A kismesis ?airing can work together; they just work together with -- dislike. And com?etition!

[12:14] PH: Hm?h. I should ho?e so.

That no troll would ever wish to give me a ?resent just out of the ?ity in his or her heart? That I am unworthy of receiving shitty gifts from strangers?
[11:32] PH: I am dee?ly wounded.
[11:33] PH: Truly, dee?ly wounded.
[11:33] LA: Hurt, €v€n?

[11:41] PH: What if you're misjudging the situation?
[11:41] PH: What if she isn't black for you, Scam? What if she only felt it for a moment, and then you chased it away with your forwardness?
[11:41] PH: What then?

[11:43] PH: "I ... don't know really." How is that even remotely the a??ro?riate answer to "oh, but she doesn't HATE hate me anymore"?
[11:43] PH: Don't you want to make your rivalry interesting? Don't you want to make all trolls who look u?on it tremble with desire and envy?!

[11:53] PH: Although ...
[11:53] PH: ... You know who has some interesting insights on black romance?
[11:53] PH: Taula. You should ask her about it sometime.
[11:54] PH: But, you know, subtly.
[11:54] LA: Tau£a?
[11:55] PH: Is there an echo?
[11:55] PH: Taula! You know, annoying buzzzzzzzzzy quirk.
[11:55] PH: Look. Answer me this. Why do you hate Lamia?
[11:55] PH: What is it about her that really makes you see black?
[11:56] LA: W€££ $h€'$ a£wa¥$ waving h€r goddamn $up€riorit¥ in m¥ ƒa¢€.

[12:04] PH: Reeeeeeeally
[12:06] PH: I su??ose my advice to you, if that is indeed the case, would be to be clever about antagonizing her.
[12:07] PH: You have ?ointed out that she is smug and su?erior and often corrects you.
[12:07] PH: Do you know what she loves? What she values?
[12:07] PH: You should find out and then seek to turn those things against her, or at least cause them to be more "yours."
[12:07] PH: You should move in on her territory.
[12:08] PH: Des?ise each other -- but make it so you must work together, or against each other, because it is necessary!
[12:08] LA: A mataphori¢a£ ho$ti£€ tak€ov€r oƒ $ort$?
[12:12] PH: "Meta?horical"? Hell no. You take her stuff. Use it in ways you know she'd loathe. Be better than her! And where that just isn't ?ossible, counteract with something else. Don't tell her you hate her! Don't sign off with cutesy s?ades until your argument is heated and smoking!
[12:12] PH: Be a badass! Be an asshole! That last really shouldn't be such a stretch for you, Scam.
[12:12] LA: Thank ¥ou.
[12:13] PH: And be aware of the situation. A kismesis ?airing can work together; they just work together with -- dislike. And com?etition!
[12:13] PH: >:) Get it?
[12:13] LA: I think I am.
[12:14] PH: Hm?h. I should ho?e so.
[12:14] PH: I don't want to be witness to a boring kismesis.
[12:14] PH: That would ruin my a?ocaly?se.
