Re: Text to Shimmer
-I won't call you that. But I did think you knew better than this. I'm sad. And I hate feeling sad, because that means the joy's left the room. Or it's been shut out. And I'm sad because you poked the bear cave and you should NEVER wake a bear! They're REALLY grumpy!
-I try and think the best of people, James. I've seen humans do amazing things! Your hearts are capable of such EXTREMES! And I think that's why some have a dim view of you. They only see a slice. I've seen the whole onion! And that's magical to me. You ARE magic and I wish you all knew that more.
-What I'm trying to say is I love you. And this is my ballpark. I know this ballpark. People play in it because they think it's fun and then they get stomped on. I don't want you to get squished! Or Celeste! Your world is like a Willy Wonka ride to me, OK? I don't understand it when humans say things, but really mean something else. You're so tricky! Just walking down the road is like NEON BUBBLES in my hair. You breathe air? How can you BREATHE air?! Why don't trees grow sideways? Why can't you TALK to trees? Or grass! None of it makes any sense to me - and I love it because of that.
-But this ballpark makes sense to me. I can talk AT LENGTH about the ballpark. I can even throw a nice picnic in the park. But PLEASE don't mess with the park bear!
-PS: Mushrooms can be dicks. Don't try talking to them.
