Truthfully, Robin has absolutely no idea what the fuck this girl is talking about. She’s starting to suspect this is how people must feel when they’re listening to her babble about horror movies, or whatever other inane shit it is that she even talks about with people. What does she even talk to people about? She always seems to find something, but- Jesus, this is like having an out-of-body experience, but for the fact she’s astonishingly pretty and Robin is…well. She believes the polite way of saying it is “frumpy”, but if a more bitchy epithet is needed then she’s got two decades’ worth stored away in a little filing cabinet in the miserable bit of her brain where her anxiety lives. Or squats, rather, since nobody invited it and it more or less just colonized the place after noticing that any self-confidence that she might ever have possessed had pretty much skipped town and left the door unlocked, the metaphorical fridge fully stocked and just begging to be taken advantage of. No, please, it seemed to say. Help yourself to whatever self-worth is still in there and remind Robin of any embarrassing moments she’s ever had whenever the mood takes you.
“I’m- is grunge even still a thing? I thought that died out with Kurt Cobain.”
okay, so, envy and ramona are far from friends. it’s like-- they did a bit of boyfriend swapping, they maybe tried to kill each other that one time, and also those swapped boyfriends totally messed each other up, etc. it’s really messy. but, anyway, that mess has let envy spend more than twenty seconds around ramona, so she thinks she at least sort of knows what she’s like. maybe? if she squints a little.
anyway, point is: it’s not like this. because if anyone’s going to know how grunge is faring these days ( she is grunge, right? envy’s not sure all of a sudden, but she doesn’t really care enough about the specifics. all that really matters is that she’s right ) it’s her.
‘ --did you hit your head or something, ramona? ’
she thinks about adding not that i care or anything, but that much is obvious. unless ramona really has hit her head, then she might end up thinking they’re best friends or something. that’d be a trip.
