It's bad enough I have my own fucknuts to worry about but now I apparently have to worry about yours too?

[annnd we're back in time to be an asshole again.]

Let's revisit this, your brother is an immense asshole and is trying to ninja your brain with mind games
Obviously we need to stop it
But we need to know if it's him first

[He wants revenge, if it is him. But he phrased it to sound like it's more for Dave's safety.]

what

what???

do you wanna run that by me again

alright look
you literally just got here theres no way theres that many guys here out for your blood already
i know having somebody smear you over the nets an irritating experience but you are overreacting hella hard over here
and like
if all of the shit on there is bunk then im not seeing the big deal honestly??
just an internet troll dude no need to flip your shit about it

and fyi my bros not an immense asshole
and if its him then good luck with getting him to stop because youre probably going to need it
hes a persistent guy and he has this uncanny way of always getting what he wants
by virtue of being awesome at basically everything its humanly possible to be awesome at and some things it shouldnt even be humanly possible to be awesome at
so
my hands are tied

[Well there it is.

There's that breaking point (okay, one of many). The funny thing about having a warped sense of reality and being completely delusional is that even when people who you think are weak, spineless, and beneath you DARE to say something like this...it feels like a betrayal. But it doesn't really hurt him so much as it completely enrages him.]

umm WHAT

some asshole WENT IN MY ROOM AND SPIED ON ME and you're telling me you think its your brother
you think im going to have a POSITIVE RESPONSE TO THIS?

[He's not really picking up on the fact that he's basically admitting to that stuff being true.]

after everything I do for you
you're going to sit there and tell me i'm overreacting?
i don't care if you think it's real or not you're going to ACTUALLY tell me i'm overreacting?

he's watching me

[And now he's realizing what he said.]

yes so what that stuff was true FUCK OFF

i had your back dave you FUCK

I don't need you anyway

[Okay but he's probably going to regret this.

For all the wrong reasons, but he'll regret it.]

wait so then
that stuff about you being off your meds

[oh no

ohhhh no

he just lost his temper at an emotionally fragile friend who was already having a tough time. he probably triggered a fucking panic attack or something jesus fuck he is such a shitty friend how did he fuck this up so bad]

um
ok

alright maybe i was the one who overreacted then my bad
its just
my bros a touchy subject for me ok
like i know hes a pain sometimes and he does all this weird shit that nobody sane oughta be doing but hes still family
and i mean

fuck ok this isnt about me or my bro

[this is about helping a friend through a tough time. jesus christ dave get a grip]

look just
calm down ok
i dont care if any of that stuff they said about you on the net is true and i dont think any less of you for it
because

[FUCK this is embarrassing to say]

were bros right
like you said you had my back and
even if i think i majorly screwed this up i wanna have yours too

my bad
i shouldve handled this better

[It probably takes him a little bit to reply. He's pacing, cursing, pulling at his hair, but eventually when he bothers to pick up his phone and see Dave's stupid texts he calms down just enough to reply.

He shouldn't, but in hindsight cutting off Dave would be stupid. He already invested too much time in him. And he's a useful tool to have in his holster.

That being said, he's still pissed off about what just happened.

Take a deep breath, Gary. You're better than this, he tells himself.

He has to choose his words carefully. As much as he's inwardly cringing at his little freak out there, it helped him. Dave feels like shit now and he can use that to his favor. He can gain the upper hand again.

Look, I'm SORRY about what I said, okay? I get excited sometimes. [fuck you and fuck your dumbass asshole brother]

You said you wouldn't turn out like THEM and I still believe you.

[FEEL LIKE SHIT ASSHOLE FEEL LIKE SHIT]

yeah
im realizing that now that like
you probably werent thinking too hard about what you were saying so it was dumb of me to take it that personally and focus on that one thing when there was so much else preoccupying your mind
looking back this whole situation is hells of embarrassing
i was being a self-absorbed prick
gonna work on not letting that happen again

Clearly we're both having a bit of a time with this even if for different reasons.

[And he will remember that defensiveness over his brother. Oh will he remember it.]

That's why we have to stick together.

I'm even willing to do that even when you're being dumb.

[Sorry but he was sounding way too nice. It made him feel unclean.]

[ouch.

he can't really deny it, though. he was being dumb]

yeah
ill stick with you too for as long as youre willing to stick with me then
and um
the thing earlier
about my bro i mean
im starting to think i was wrong about it after all

[because he talked to pokey and dirk and they both shut that possibility down hard.]

so
you dont have to worry about that
whoever it is snooping on you ill help you find them

Why the sudden change of heart? You were so annoyingly sure.

i got a second opinion from a guy who knows my bro better than anybody else

[alternate universe selves are handy like that]

and i went back and glanced at the later stuff he posted
after he dropped the persona
it doesnt match up with my bros mo
