so if you see something that looks like mistletoe growing in the corner of your doorway
or elsewhere

DONT LET IT SEE YOU
DONT APPROACH IT especially with company
GET AWAY FROM IT or else set it on fire
carefully on fire
ill be along to take care of it later


thanks



[as part of the aftermath of space christmas, there may be some vicious mistletoe hanging around in certain doorways. some of it bites, and some of it growls, and some of it pursues you until you kiss the person you ran into on your way into the kitchen. classic wizard mistletoe prank gone slightly awry but also it's still funny. mistletoe began concentrated mostly on level 5, but it's spread itself upwards and downwards. and into the SEC offices. and elsewhere. feel free to say that you have been assaulted or do some threads of being assaulted in this post/your inboxes/useful log created for this purpose.]

peace in space
goodwill to spaceman

space xmas is for everyone by virtue of it being in space & everyone being in space

[makedo]

bullshit

[doggedly]

no i swear! on anything you lie


thats what space xmas is
read it in a book

[makedo]

i don't believe it
or you
mostly you

[doggedly]

:(

not even if i swear it on my mothers grave
i dont understand why youd be so against gifts youd requrie such a thing of me but
for space xmas
id swear it

[makedo]

i'm not against gifts
i'm against the hypocrisy of bullshit religious holidays
and the proliferation of traditions like mistletoes forced on unwilling individuals

[doggedly]

right



but if i said i had a gift for you............

[makedo]

i'd assume you're either lying or have fallen prey to the commercialisation of an already bullshit holiday, which is fucking typical because corporate is taking over everything

[doggedly]

where im from mate we havent even got corporate
compeltely genuine gifts
to make space a little easier



i mean if you REALLY dont want it i sppose theres always space birthdays but come on youd just be splitting hairs then

[makedo]

is it splitting hairs if one is a religious holiday and the other an allegedly genuine celebration of the fact that you're still fucking alive

[doggedly]

i dunno if thats splitting hairs or if it isnt
whatever it is is DEFINITELY overthinking space xmas i can tell you that much

[makedo]

you're the one saying i must partake in these festivities

[doggedly]

thats celebration & sharing of celelbration not overthinking
very different
celelbration has very little thought involved

[makedo]

not celebrating doesn't require more thought. less, in fact

[doggedly]

it requires active resistance actually
& a very long text conversation which suggests loads of thought

eg our conversation

[makedo]

it requires active resistance only when people try to force their holidays down your throat

[doggedly]

if the msitletoe was trying to crawl down your throat mate then you have got to reevaluate your kissing style


not MY fault

[makedo]

i'm not making out with your fucking mistletoe

[doggedly]

good!



cos its also a bit poisonous

[makedo]

of course it fucking is

[ why is he not surprised ]

[doggedly]

just in general though
naturally
the poison isnt actually my fault its just a fact


:)

[makedo]

you put it out there

[ so, y'know. definitely your fault kiddo! ]

[doggedly]

not to be eaten or put into mouths!


look whatever you want to do with plants do it on your own time
weve got a crisis on our hands here man! a mistletoe crisis!
& if you dont awnt me to force space christmas on you for the rest of time youll pitch in with holiday cheer & burn mistletoe on sight

[doggedly]

well mildly burnt
dont be too cruel its got a heart

[makedo]

burning mistletoes
i suppose that's the kind of holiday spirit i could participate in
in a completely non-denominational manner of course
