Foresaw
😱 Fyodor! He foresaw it!
Hym “It was foretold! He foresaw it! I am the child of prophecy!... or man... *Man of prophecy... Whatever. I am legend come to fruition! Don’t you see!? Can’t you tell!?”
Iam “Ha! Wow... That is eerie! Not flattering...”
Hym “Hahahahaha! The man! The myth! The legend! *imitates cheering* ‘Haaaaaaa! I am Hym! I am Hym! Haaaaa!’ “

Hym “Hahahahaha! The man! The myth! The legend! *imitates cheering* ‘Haaaaaaa! I am Hym! I am Hym! Haaaaa!’ “
Intensity
Iam “You know, what was so cool about the ‘NOT RHETORICAL!’ line was that when I wrote it I envisioned more of a Michael Shannon ‘FIND HIM!!!’ kind of explosive rage moment. That wouldn’t have really fit the tone of the scene or the character (as he’s been portrayed) but it was so good because he was able to maintain the intensity of the line. So, yeah, not what I envisioned but I was still really happy with it. That was awesome. I loved it”
Hym “And, Jesus Christ, how is that not a gif yet!? Un-fucking-believable! This website is ass!”

Herald
Hym “See!? You’re like my herald! You’re like the Silver Surfer or something! And like the Silver Surfer, I’ve imbued you with the power cosmic and instead of preparing the world for its consumption (by me) you’re... you’re hanging out with the fantastic 4! Flirting with Jessica Alba because she reminds you of your dead wife! Unbelievable!”
Iam “And that reminds me, I get the reference. Like... I know where the university is. Why is the guy who is not being referenced explaining the reference to the guy who is being referenced.”
Hym “That’s a good point! You’re not the Homelander here, my guy. Everyone can see it but you. You’re not the guy. You’re like The Deep. So, keep fucking your squids and your dolphins or whatever it is that you do but that will never make you the guy.”

Shut up
Why would I do that?
Hym “You think I need to be told to shut up? Like the only thing keeping me from doing it is the fact that no one has told me to do it yet. I’m actually great at shutting up (by the way). Stellar, even. I mean, not to brag, but I could even go as far as to say I’m one of the single best shutter-uppers on the planet. Top three at least. But you know what they say ‘If you’re good at something, never do it for free.’ So... There... And if you’re not going to recruit me to the avengers you’re useless to me. Get a real job.”
Writing
Iam “Pfft! Read this.”
Hym “What? Why?”
Iam “Just... just read it.”
Hym “Ok... ‘Do you have writing ex...’ 😑.... I’M A GODDAMN ARCHETYPAL FIGURE! There are songs about me! Movies! Series! I’ve been cited by the world’s most profound intellectuals! Not that I can use any of this to answer the goddamn question. Jesus!”
Iam *snickers* “Yeah, apparently that’s a thing people talk about.”
Hym “A lot of good that does us! Ugh 😩 I can’t stand this!”
Iam *sighs* “Yeah... Me neither...” 😔

Muffler
I also have a story that kind of applies and I think it with help you understand why I'm so antagonistic towards the thing you're doing here.
Iam "Ok, so... I had this car, right? And one day my muffler snapped off as I bottomed out in the driveway of a gas station. Mufflers on the ground. And not just the muffler but the entire length of pipe that stems from the engine to the muffler. I'm freaking out. I pick it up and try to stuff it into my car. The car is a small 4 door sedan. Only 60% of the muffler fits into the car. There's no way I can drive all the way across town without getting pulled over with half of a muffler pipe hanging out of my car. Some guy walks up to me and offers to take it off my hands for me. He has a truck. I give it to him, I thank him, and go on my way. Little did I know that the only thing of value in the entire car is the catalytic converter... Which is in the muffler. He wasn't helping me. He was exploiting the fact that I didn't know what I had and taking it for himself. That's what this is like. That's what it looks like. That's what it seems like. I'm not just 'Being a contrarian to be a contrarian'. This is pretty blatant and public exploitation that YOU are signing off on."
