((Continued from here.

No, I'm not from outer space, but something I tried to do ended up taking away my memories. It's a long story that I don't want on the network but I can tell you some time if you want.

I'm sorry that person took your tape and your other friend was an alien but I'm really not sure what The Butt On Mercury is slang for or was that a concert? Is that some band I've never heard of?

and

oh.

my father was pretty awful too but this isn't about me. I'm sorry, Dib, this is so much. I shouldn't be reading this many awful things from someone who's your age and I'm sorry that you had to deal with all of that, but ... I hope you can get used to the difference. That you can let people be kind to you.

<AGENT_MOTHMAN>

[bigheaded]

no, it's not a band, it's a real butt

i mean, wait. not a REAL butt. a rock formation that LOOKS like a butt. on mercury. like the face on mars, but dumber.

they were both part of an ancient alien civilization's planet-sized rocket ship experiments.


i saved the world you know

<DrOsborn> cw uh shitty American societal norms I guess

[certaininequities]

So ... in your universe, you're one of the few people who knows all this? That's ... a lot to deal with for someone your age.

I'm sorry that no one believes you. Sometimes people do incredible things for the sake of others and no one even knows. Or will. We're told that good deeds are rewarded, but ... the truth is, unless they're done under the right circumstances, for a specific set of reasons: the poor, the wounded, minorities, disaster relief ... no one bats an eye.

The real truth is that the reward isn't the accolade. It's knowing you helped someone hav a better life. I'm ... still adjusting to that, myself.

For what it's worth: if you saved the world all by yourself by flying a planet, I think that's amazing, and I'm proud of you for doing it even without anyone caring.

2/2 because dad text habits

[certaininequities]

have!
sorry about that.

<AGENT_MOTHMAN> cw intrusive thoughts about head exploding/spontaneous combustion

[bigheaded]

[certaininequities]

[he doesn't even reply to the message: just gets up and goes to the bathroom, gathering up an antihistimine tablet (just in case) and a box of tissues, then makes a detour to the kitchen for a glass of the homemade Gatorade and some snacks before heading down to Dib's room and knocking on the door]

I found you the antihistamines. And some other things.

[bigheaded]

[He's sitting on his bed, nose red, tears bubbling out of his eyes. Dr. Osborn came by, and brought him stuff? Because he's having an allergic reaction?? Oh, no, it's not helping at all--!]
