Greetings everyone (edit: except Silco).

I come to ask for your shared wisdom following a disagreement I have had with one of our peers, Bakugō Katsuki. I am of the opinion that his unusual vocabulary, his aggressive predisposition and his unstable temper are a detriment to his social life. I have personally experienced difficulties communicating properly with him, seeing how all conversations quickly devolve into a purposeless rain of insulting words before any progress can be made.

When I said as much, he suggested the problem comes from myself. He accuses me of taking his words too literally and of behaving in too much of a maternal manner towards him. I admit it is a possibility we simply don't see eye to eye - however, I doubt his temper, poor choice of words and aggressiveness are limited to our interactions.

This is why I am asking for your wisdom and opinion, especially those familiar with Bakugo to - hopefully - help him see reason.

Thank you kindly!

I do believe he is bad at social situations, yes.
I, myself, struggle quite a bit with social skills.
Perhaps this is why I refuse to give up.
Trouble will come his way lest he takes action to correct his behavior now!

[Donnie has to think on this, because his gut reaction is to just say "Just leave him alone" since it's how he'd want to be treated and maybe he is feeling some kinship here.

But he also decides to think how Mikey would handle this, and he sees that someone already pointed out how would Eresh feel if the roles were reversed. So no going over that road again.]

And? It's his trouble to face. Also the more you push someone to behave how you see fit? The more they're going to fight against you.

[Yeah, that sounds Mikey-esque.]

[queenofkur]

i realize this now

but i cant delete this
sorry

[soft_shelled]

You don't need to apologize to me, though?

[queenofkur]

i know
sorry
i will apologize to him as well

[soft_shelled]

Cool, cool, cool.

Also maybe if this happens again, think on it before acting?

[queenofkur]

this is what i usually do
i acted in the heat of the moment
this was a grievous mistake

[soft_shelled]

Ah.

Well, it happens. We're only human after all.

[Sorry, even though he's been told about gods being here (thanks Yato) he doesn't believe it.]

[queenofkur]

human?

well

i suppose so now

[soft_shelled]

Well yeah, even if gods were a real thing? They only exist because of humanity needing something to explain natural phenomenon they didn't understand.

[queenofkur]

huh?

[ How shocking! He's absolutely right, and that's exactly what is shocking! Normally she has to use very weird and lengthy metaphors to explain what gods are, what the heckie!! ]

i didnt think anyone here would grasp this concept intuitively
most people seem to have a hard time even thinking of it

[soft_shelled]

[Eresh, this is an agnostic nerd. Of course he'd know this kind of thing.]

I don't see how it's hard to grasp? It's basic knowledge.

[queenofkur]

it's not
not where i'm from anyway
not amongst mortals
not in this world either for that matter

[soft_shelled]

[???]

How? I have no formal education at all, and I learned that fact.

[Not everyone is a huge nerd who has to know everything, Donnie, that's how.]

[queenofkur]

r
really?
this is strange
maybe you are gifted in these things

[soft_shelled]

Yes, I'm not exactly the kind of... Person who can just go to school?

And I just like knowing things, that's all.

[queenofkur]

i think it's a good thing
there are sometimes people who can learn a lot
even without learning through traditional means
perhaps you are one of them

[soft_shelled]

That or I'm just a kid who had too much time on my hands and unlimited internet access.
