i'll be sure to keep an eye out.
[ Oh, no. Oh, that's not what he meant... ]
no no no no i wasn't saying that's TRUE.
i was trying to like explain the thought process a self-hating meta might go through you know, thinking of themselves that way
if they didn't understand what was happening they might see it like that.
[ God, what a disaster. It'd be easy to clear the whole thing up if he just said he was a meta, but... well, the truth is that'd be a whole can of worms now that he doesn't want to open, because as metas go, he's holding down the fort at the far end of the self-hating spectrum. ]

(We're twins)
[Identical, but adding that opens up a can of worms that isn't Taako's to open, so he just tends to keep it general. Fraternal twins can still look very similar, anyway.]
Listen, I'm gonna get real with you for a second here: Earth is fucking ridiculous and I don't understand it at all. You guys care about the strangest shit. Like I get that it'd suck if you had that explode-y power or whatever, but how would everyone else not be fucking psyched to be able to do cool shit?
no subject
[ So he really hadn't been exaggerating about the resemblance, then. Cisco kind of hopes that she does appear, because even though he's far from being tight with his sibling, it sounds like Taako is with his, and it must suck to be separated. ]
i mean you're not wrong.
like trust me i'm the first one to admit that a lot of people where i'm from have really terrible priorities and find the most ridiculous reasons to hate each other and themselves.
and some metas ARE psyched don't get it twisted.
it's just circumstances, you know?
like if a random stranger walked up and kicked you right in the nuts and then while you were rolling around on the ground they tossed you a bag of candy and walked off, you'd be a little less excited about the candy than you would if you bought it in a store on your own sans excruciating pain.
when the particle accelerator exploded it gave some people powers but it also, like, killed people. a lot of people, and caused a lot of chaos.
and now half the time when people hear about metas it's the bad ones who are using their powers to murder or rob banks or wreak havoc.
honestly, the flash is probably the main reason people in the city haven't gone full-on witch hunt on metas.

[Almost definitely not the way Cisco was going with that metaphor, and also severely lacking in tact (it doesn't really occur to him that Cisco might have known people that died, because sometimes his focus is a little narrow).]
Not that it even matters since it doesn't seem like there are any of your metas here. It just seems stupid to me not to get psyched about sweet powers instead of moping about not being normal any more.
no subject
no, doesn't really matter, you're right.
i'm with you there. it's more like... i get that there are gonna be exceptions? but as a rule, i'm team "superpowers are fucking awesome".
[ It's only a tiny bit a lie. ]
no subject
Super powers are fucking awesome, for sure.
Except superspeed, cause no one's into a guy that can't keep his dick hard for more than like two seconds.

like i get that i started this but my best friend's a speedster and i really don't need that image up in my brain.

not saying i'm against thinking about dick as a rule but him and me don't roll like that.
