[OPEN] truthfully, i've never seen an episode of the bachelor in my life
Who: Ain & You
What: We're watching the Bachelor/ette and playing with bubbles
When: Late Jan/Early Feb
Where: Therapy Building
Warnings: whatever goes on on reality TV probably
[Ain's curly handwriting appears in the netbook one morning.]
Hiii come to the therapy building if you want to sit around the TV and watch this show Nikolaus and Ezell got me! It's called The Bachelor, I think it's romantic? ^^ Bring food :O
[He does not explain further, because he is engrossed in reality TV drama. If you come into the therapy building, though, he's laying on the couch with a bubble gun that shoots flower-shaped bubbles, somehow, and spraying those into the air while holding a plushie under his other arm and watching...
It looks like some catgirl is screaming her head off at a dog boy? Obviously Ain has the Terran edition of this series, thanks Ezell.
He'll motion you over to sit with him if he spots you come in and point enthusiastically at the TV.]
He just threw a whole cake in her face on a date as a joke, and she's mad about it. That's what you missed so far. There's also been a cheating scandal, drama with someone not admitting they had children, and stuff like that~. Do you want me to rewind it?

[These shows want you to pick ONE, but it's okay because largely none of them are worth picking.
Ain will lay there with his bubble gun, being generally annoying with it, up until there's a loud musical sting and the camera zooms in on a Perro and a Liberi who are just. Punching the shit out of each other. This poor girl looks a mix between horrified and entertained. Ain is severely lacking context because he was spaced out into his bubbles, but now his attention is on the screen.]
Is this normal behaviour for people? Is this how macho men are supposed to act?
no subject
[He also imagines most of these men are too douchey to share, and would consider dating the same girl to be weird and homo or whatever the fuck.
Anyway a fucking fistfight breaks out, and Wolfwood snorts and sits back like "damn okay this finally got good all of a sudden".
...at least until Ain says that, which causes Wolfwood to falter. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh-]
I mean. Fightin' over a girl like that is fuckin' dumb.
[He says, a macho man who fights Flamebringer on a near daily basis]
no subject
But why is it a contest? Not the punching each other, I mean the whole setup. Shouldn't you fall in love naturally?
[Ain you're too much of a romantic idealist for this kind of shit.
Straight people want drama. That's all there is to it.]
no subject
I mean. Would you wanna watch if it wasn't a contest? Would it be as excitin' if these dumbasses weren't punching each other bloody to see who got the girl?
no subject
[Ain is a Member Of The El Search Party and sometimes it really shows.]
Wouldn't it be so cute to watch people fall for each other genuinely? I'm going to go to Terra and make my own TV show, and then you'll see that I'm right.
[He says this, but he's totally enjoying the manufactured drama here, especially as someone ends up with liquor being spilled on them. "Oops," the contestant says, "I didn't meaaaan to," they lie.]
no subject
[He's not surprised Ain just wants to be cute and date. That's like, his entire thing.]
Pretty sure a lotta this shit is scripted too.

[He gestures at the TV.]
They obviously pick people they know are gonna cause problems. And don't you notice how the problem people seem to stick around even though everybody hates 'em?
no subject
[You have to understand. Ain is purposely annoying and His friends keep him around.]
no subject
It's usually a pretty specific kinda' annoyin'. If you're annoyin' but not fun to watch or be around...people ain't gonna like that. Like I'm sure some of these people are both annoyin' and so insufferable it hurts to watch 'em for too long. They're only enjoyable cause everyone else hates 'em as much as you do.
