[a text post from Jonathan Joestar? this is truly a rare sight. but the subject that he's about to broach is kind of super embarrassing, and he doubts he'd be able to even compose the message, let alone post it, if anyone could hear or see him.

he's been staring at his communicator for an hour before hitting send as it is, struggling internally as to whether this is absolutely necessary. but in the end he had to acknowledge that he didn't know what to do on his own, nor did he have a friend with this sort of experience; there really was no way around it. drat.]

[filtered from Ramir]

I'm sorry to trouble the entire network with such a trivial matter, but I'm afraid that I really don't have anyone else to ask. Perhaps it's for the best - uninvolved parties often give the best insight, after all.

[or. something. he's flustered and rambling and he hasn't even gotten this damn thing off the ground yet. pull yourself together, Joestar.]

I would be very grateful if someone could advise me on navigating a rather difficult situation of a...romantic nature. There are other things involved (a great number, actually) that have made it rather overcomplicated, so I'm afraid it may take some effort to unravel.

I don't have much recompense to offer aside from owing you a large favor, but I'd be glad to take on that debt if someone is willing to give their time. It's something I need an answer to rather promptly, so I'll take all the help I'm offered.

That said, if you aren't particularly skilled in that sort of thing but are willing to engage in idle chatter for a little while...I'd appreciate that as well.

[you know, to give him something to focus on that isn't dying of mortification.]

[LOOK EVERYONE IS A SMALL TINY PERSON COMPARED TO JOJO IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL]

They're not much for piercing, though, are they? Perhaps I should try one of those machines.

[infomodder]

[He's surrounded by babies.]

Good luck if you do. They've always looked like they'd be complicated to learn.

[fistofthejoestar]

[literally and figuratively]

Do you think so? I've always understood that they simplified the whole process, so it can't be too terribly difficult to pick up.

[infomodder]

Maybe they do once you learn them. It looks like something else that could eat all your thread to me. And cut it in the process so untangling it doesn't even help.
Probably why I don't sew.

[fistofthejoestar]

It sounds to me like the sort of thing you'd be able to tell charming stories about later.

[infomodder]

Something you're better suited at than me.

[prince charming, even had hime all after him]

[Prince Charming never had these relationship problems ok he's more like the fucking male protag in a shoujo]

There's no reason to put yourself down like that. You express yourself wonderfully.

[infomodder]

To you.
Being honest about what someone isn't good at isn't the same as putting themselves down.
We can both admit we're not good with sewing and that's not us putting ourselves down, is it?

[fistofthejoestar]

Of course not. But people often see things that we miss about ourselves - and it's interesting to hear those observations, even if you don't agree with them.

[infomodder]

[WOW JONATHAN ARE YOU TELLING HIM HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS DON'T MAKE HIM QUESTION HIS SANITY LIKE THAT]

True.
I'll give you a call as soon as I make headway on this Cornish hen recipe hunt.

[fistofthejoestar]

[Will please you wish he was implying something like that because it means he'd have a flaw that actually made him a bad person.]

I'll be looking forward to it! Hopefully you'll find success sooner rather than later.
