I mean that's one way to measure quality I guess

If we have any metric at all for telling what is or isn't worthwhile, then surely it's repetition. You'd know that, right?

Not sure what you're getting at

[I mean it feels pointed but most things Chara says do.]

Self-deprecating levity. A cheerful wink and nod at my own endless purgatory of an existence. Get it? Time travel?

...I'm making a joke, Dipper. You should try it sometime.

I did send you a mixtape. Doesn't that count?

Depends on how bad My Radioactive Fling makes me cringe. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

Is it funnier if it makes you cringe a lot or if you like it? Cause both seem pretty funny.

Just for you, I think I could manage both if I really tried. Cringe-liking is a thing, right?

With this music? Definitely. I think most people cringe like it.

Maybe if you're really lucky, someday I'll even cringe like you too.

Wow that's probably the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Are you feeling all right? I should have put a warning label on the mix. Those songs have been known to induce emotions in people.

Emotion.....?? What's that? Sounds like something Frisk would do.

Sorry sometimes I forget not everyone has a huge vocabulary like me. Here:

hlnvwzb xsziz droo hgzy wrkkvi zmw ml lmv droo vevm yv zyov gl hzb sv wrwm'g wvhviev rg

hlnvwzb xsziz droo hgzy wrkkvi zmw ml lmv droo vevm yv zyov gl hzb sv wrwm'g wvhviev rg

Golly! Can you use smaller words?? That's a little too tricky for us mere not-quite-Dippers.

....jokes aside it is a little weird the definition of a relatively simple concept has words like "deriving" and "distinguished." Who would know those words but not emotion? Is it a vast dictionary conspiracy contrived to make people buy more dictionaries to look up more words? And while we're at it, I'm really good at codes but I have yet to decipher the pronunciation guide. Do those letters even mean anything? Why not just write it out phonetically like a normal person?

Wowie! You're a huge nerd, huh?

Look at it this way, I guess. How do you define stuff like emotion without using really specific and long explanations? If you want literally everybody to understand what it means, then you can't use slang or compare it to something. Like... if you say blue is the color of blue stop signs, then that's useless to someone who doesn't live in a place with roads. There are no stop signs, right?

Like... how would YOU define emotions? Without just listing them or saying "I dunno, feelings." It's hard, right?

Dang I'm usually so good at hiding it

[YES HE IS A NERD WE ALL KNOW HE'S A NERD. That's a more serious answer than he expected, though.]

There certainly aren't blue ones. Stop signs are usually red where I'm from.

[What.]

It's definitely easiest to explain with examples. Or by getting extremely poetic, I guess, and that's not always helpful for actually understanding things.

[Joke's on you, Dipper! Chara's kind of a nerd too!!]

There are no blue stop signs where I'm from, either. See? Very hard to define things by comparing them.

It gets even worse when you start getting into things that maybe aren't capable of being understood. Too hard to think about. Falling back on fancy, clinical language is about the only way to parse stuff like that.

There should be a better way. But I guess the words are what people made up to try and explain them in the first place. How can you explain an explanation? Make up more words?

Monsters use magic.

They use words too, I mean, but magic is a way of expressing themselves directly from the SOUL. You should see their birthday cards.

Magic birthday cards? Are you teasing again?

You mean to tell me you've never received a bullet-pattern birthday card? You poor thing. You're missing out.

[A pause as Dipper stares at that and tries to figure out what they mean.]

You know it's really hard to figure out if you're joking or not sometimes.

I know. That's not a bug, it's a design feature.

You know I can just ask literally anyone else from your world right
