you look really cool. the weapons by extension, when you’re holding them. or wearing them.

[white_widow]

I thought that might have been what you meant, but I couldn't tell if it was my ego or not.

[fuzzily]

not your ego. just objective fact.
maybe the weapons could qualify on their own if they were engraved? it’d depend on the font probably

you’re right though, picking characters would be hard.
because you want to aim for maximum sue-ability, but also for them to fit.

[white_widow]

Thank you very much.
Some of my weapons definitely already look cool on their own but some of them would be improved, yes. What are you looking for in a font?

You get it
The vibe has to match. Some of my knives already have names, too, so I would probably have to buy more.

[fuzzily]

( oh, yelena. )

yeah you wouldn’t have any choice. it’s not like you could rename them. they might get confused.

it’s your stuff so my opinion isn’t the one that matters, and maybe this is kind of cliche?
but i was imagining a gothic one. metal band vibes.
especially if their names were like ‘squidward’ or ‘bojack horseman’ or ‘buffy’

[white_widow]

I could rename my guns maybe, but I couldn't rename my knives.

Your opinion might not be the deciding factor but it still matters. Something spiky could be fun. Makes me want to buy a battleaxe, though. If I put the names in Russian do you think that would affect the chances of getting sued? Cyrillic would look cool in one of those fonts.

[fuzzily]

i think it’d make it less likely you’d get sued
but it’d up the metal factor

[white_widow]

What if I engrave the names in Russian but talk about them in the interviews in English?

[fuzzily]

that could work
and hey i think a battleaxe or more knives would be an awesome could-be-slash-unbirthday present for yourself

what are your their names? the ones you have now

[white_widow]

That's true, it would be a very good gift for that.
I've ordered an engraver tool set already.

Only a few of guns have names, and they're named after whatever food I most recently had when I got them.
But the knives are named after other Widows.

[fuzzily]

oh
i didn’t know
sorry

[white_widow]

What, for the teasing earlier? It's okay, I know you didn't know. How would you have?

[fuzzily]

yeah
but it seems important to you
so

[white_widow]

It is. And if you had known that and what the names were beforehand, you would have made the joke differently.

And it's not like you were making an unreasonable assumption, I also have a gun named pierogi. The joke does still work.

[fuzzily]

i shouldn’t have

( assume, ass, etc. perils of acting too familiar.

he has no idea how to course correct without digging deeper so … pivot! )

what do you want from the hibachi place?

[white_widow]

Why not?

Beef teriyaki and a couple spicy shrimp and crab rolls, please.

[fuzzily]

just cause

cheesecake too? boba?

[white_widow]

Hm. Okay. I disagree, but that's okay.

How did I forget that part? Yes, please.

[fuzzily]

why do you disagree?

[white_widow]

It's not as though you are some random person who doesn't know me, or that it was some baseless off the wall idea. What's the alternative? You assume everything could have some deep sad reasoning behind it and never crack a joke? That's not better, I don't want that.

[fuzzily]

not never
maybe just only when i know there’s not some deep sad reasoning behind something

happy medium

[white_widow]

Okay, I can mostly agree to that happy medium

But also sometimes things have deep sad reasoning and are also already a joke: for instance, Fanny is named after my sister.

[fuzzily]

she is? how?

[white_widow]

It was the name she was given on a cover id once.

floof

[fuzzily]

i bet she loved whippin out that fake id

no offense to fanny. it’s a cute name and she pulls it off.
i always kinda secretly wondered why her middle name was longbottom
but i wasn’t gonna say anything
