ooh you know what i did catch a stetson
but i also think those are making a comeback
so tough to say

nice
a little on the nose but ill accept it bc its a good shot

[thwipandquip]

though it's perfectly plausible that it's still a hipster bar and they're wearing all that ironically

do you think they have shitty beer for way too much? should narrow down things nicely.

[mauved]

have you been to many hipster bars
youd make a real killing in them

alright the mystery is killing me i have to know
im going in wish me luck

[thwipandquip]

i try not to say that i wore spandex before it was cool

against my better judgement i'm asking for pics.

[mauved]

is that really a point of pride...

ok ill make sure to find the assless chaps guy again

[thwipandquip]

idk you tell me.

i hope you're showing me his face.
my tolerance for hairy asses starts and stops with dominic the donkey

[mauved]

with that shoulder to waist ratio? hell yeah

so youd be ok with it if it wasnt hairy? thats what im getting here

[thwipandquip]

and here i thought my thighs were my best asset.

you're the worst. please don't give that cowboy my number.

[mauved]

its hard to find a 'best' when everythings just as good as the rest
i may have to ogle extensively next time youre suited up to really give you a solid answer
you know, for science

no way thats mine
there are plenty of other spideys by times square if he wants one

[thwipandquip]

gonna give me a detailed report after with your findings?
looking forward to seeing if my ass rates four or five 🍑.

that's way harsh, kit kat.
at least set him up with one of the ones that's part of the musical cast.

[mauved]

do i count as biased since ive seen you naked
or does that just make me thorough

im more friendly with the star map guys
besides ive never seen your musical
what if its bad? thatll just reflect poorly on me

[thwipandquip]

any proper research paper requires being thorough.
checking as many resources as possible and verifying that they aren't skewed in some manner.

how would anyone know for sure that i'm not enhancing without verifying?

the times square guys do. that's obvious. at least the musical performers have better costume quality and only occasionally stuff

[wow peter so much attention paid to those spidey impersonators]

[mauved]

[ ok nerd. (why's that working for her though?) ]

so what youre saying is i need to see you naked more
got it

but the times square guys are so funny when theyre sober
agreed on the stuffing though their work is just sloppy

[thwipandquip]

i'm angling for regular pantsless days.
that means you too.

wait, you've seen them sober?
still waiting on that photographic proof that you're in a bar with gay hipster cowboys and not just fucking with me btw. don't think i forgot

[mauved]

isnt a researcher supposed to maintain her distance from her work something or other?

you have to get them at just the right time which us usually around 2am right before they get their second wind

geez parker what happened to patience being a virtue
you cant just roll up to gay western bars and start snapping pics people will think youre a creep

it isnt a gay western bar btw but there is a mechanical bull

[thwipandquip]

hate to point out the obvious but you've already screwed that pooch.

i am totally patient. are you telling me that you're not actually capable of taking photos on the sly? because if you need tips, i've got tips. bonus tips if you send me a video of you riding the bull.

[mauved]

aww dont call yourself a pooch

its DARK my camera phone keeps turning on its FLASH this is not my fault

[ it's totally her fault, someone help her take her camera flash settings off auto ]

that bull definitely has my name on it
its thrown off five people so far and made one guy cry his ego was hurt so bad
my victory will be sweet

[thwipandquip]

you see a little icon with a lighting bolt?
tap it and choose the one that has that symbol with a no sign. you're welcome.

i wouldn't bet against you. but i have inside knowledge of your ability to hold on.

what do you get for not falling off?

[mauved]

why couldnt they just use words

[ her thanks comes in the form of a successful sneaky photo: not of mr. assless chaps, unfortunately, but of a bridal shower group gathered around the pit watching the bride-to-be hang onto the bull for dear life. ]

exactly youre not the only one with great thighs

but idk bragging rights? your picture on the wall?
free drinks probably

[thwipandquip]

to make your life difficult, obviously.
the phone manufacturer is out to get you.

nice shot. give it a solid 8 out of 10.
you're gonna need to up your game though if you want any of those things, great thighs or not.
drunky-to-be really looks like she wants it bad.

[mauved]

i know youre joking but i 100% agree

look we cant all be professional photographers
and hey youre supposed to be on my side
wifey over there may want it bad but shes all floppy limbs ok

[thwipandquip]

i'm not even a professional.
hobby photographer turned underpaid freelance guy and only because i had the home court advantage with spidey pics.

[these days anyone with a drone or a decent phone can upload and hashtag him to their heart's content. he's not bitter about it. okay maybe a little bitter about that one time one hit him mid-swing.]

i am on your side.
you've got the best thighs this side of the hudson.
arms that deserve to be featured in a full color spread.
do i need to keep going?

[mauved]

cmon if you got paid youre a professional
do you still do that btw? as a hobby i mean

[ she tries to remember if she saw a camera lying around in his apartment, but wonders if that's also one other thing he's packed up and put behind him. ]

yes but table that for now the bull is free

[thwipandquip]

yeah. not as much, but there's always interesting things to shoot.

[it's in his closet, along with all the developing supplies because he refuses to transition to digital no matter how convenient it might be. he hasn't had time to take it out recently, but maybe... if he can convince her to let him take photos of her. maybe.]

knock 'em dead hawkeye.

[mauved]

[ her next texts come almost fifteen minutes later, right at the tail end of her successful bull riding. first he gets a short video of her conquering the thing amidst cheers from the crowd, and the close sound of a deep voice going Ride em, cowgirl! and a pumping fist coming from behind bearing a leather wristlet are hopefully enough context clues to piece together that kate has, in fact, made friends with mr. assless chaps — at least enough to entrust him to take a video of her. ]

k so that was cake
prize is NOT cake but a tshirt and free drinks
no wall photos sadly

anyway i dont actually know if ive seen any of your work outside of the paper
you should show me sometime
