[ Neat, orderly writing is chalked down on the board. It appears to be...a list of words, though there is some explanation given to their context. ]

would be helpful if others could explain:

movie
tv series
comic book
hot topic
goth
season
scurvy

being honest would help most
thank you very much for assisting us :)

movie: according to all known laws of aviation there is no way a bee should be able to fly its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground the bee of course flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible

tv series: according to the fun police it's the root cause of add and also makes children dumb but they're just mad video killed the radio star

comic book: [i was going to write an actual answer but let's be real here. let's be real: he drew loss, but with the storyteller as every character. that's what he did.]

hot topic: how the fuck do none of you have hot topic. its a store for goth and emo kids and anime fans who are ashamed to be anime fans. where do you all think my pop-punk ass shopped for jewelry.

goth: when you like dying and being dead, but you love the Aesthetic™ too much

season: the period of time when a tv show is airing before they run out of material and make you wait months for new episodes

scurvy: what happens when you dont drink your orange juice

dude: where's my car

[lightlessfuture]

do not know what aviation is but
if it says bees cannot fly it is wrong

[ That's a LOT of new words. They're deciding which ones to ask about, but Connor seems particularly passionate about Hot Topic, so.... ]

it is a store for 'clothing' ?

bugs do not need/have clothing

what is emo
pop-punk
anime ?

[yourattention]

i guess they have??? clothes??? at hot topic???

[Nobody he knows has ever gone to Hot Topic purely to buy clothes though. Unless they're anime fans who are ashamed to be anime fans but still want to wear their waifu, Hatsune Miku.]

mostly its accessories and hair dye and makeup

emo: like goth, but you like dnd, audrey hepburn, fangoria, harry houdini, and croquet but you cant swim, you cant dance, and you dont know karate

[It's fine.]

pop-punk: emo but like you went to the circus to hang out instead of the graveyard

anime: listen im not a weeb so all i know about anime is its like if every disney princess wore a slutty halloween costume

[lightlessfuture]

it is a decoration store ? for adorning yourself in a different style ?

that makes sense

what is dnd

[ They can at least guess at the rest (and they're starting to get a semi-coherent picture of what 'goth' and 'emo' and 'pop-punk' are due to Connor's colourful way of explaining things) but...

That one? They don't know that one. ]

[fortunefavored]

[in caps because obvs this is important] DND IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!

[lightlessfuture]

it is a game?

how do you play?

[ They're always looking for new recreational activities, because their idea of play is...limited. ]

[yourattention]

it's like video games for when you want to be social and also do lots of math

you know
nerd stuff

[fortunefavored]

[newt has drawn a bit +1!!!!!!!! next to all of this]

[crosslaced]

[....he's come across these words before, it feels like.

Wait a minute. He circles the cursed Bee Movie quote.]

Is this a quote from somewhere?

[yourattention]

no thats a definition of movies

[crosslaced]

That's not a coherent definition and you know it.

Wasn't this from some thing about bees?

[He attempts to draw the bee but an artist he is not, also it was over a year ago. He crosses it out eventually; he really does not remember what that abomination bee-man looked like. ]

There was a movie with this spiel where a bee ruined a relationship? and went to trial?? Didn't really understand it but "by all known laws of aviation" was there.

[yourattention]

this is a bit of a surprise to me
i mean youre a bee

[Just saying.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Muffet missed this part the first time she looked over the rock, but this time as she skims the text her gaze catches on the word 'bees', and a faint memory of Dr. Alphys sending her entire contacts list one extremely long text by accident resurfaces. She slowly looks back up the line of replies until she finds it again, quietly hoping it isn't going to be what she thinks it is.]

[It is.]

Do not go down this road. They'll only keep quoting it and then we'll all have to remember it exists. No good can come of this.

[This is not how bees work. This is not how anything works. She doesn't know why a woman as smart as Dr. Alphys managed to fuck up badly enough to mistake the 'text all' function for Sans's number, and she deeply regrets the sense of personal stubbornness that forced her to read the entire thing.]

[Perhaps the one mercy here is that, having only ever encountered The Bee Movie in text format, Muffet is fortunately unaware of what it actually looks like, and is therefore not picturing an animated insect making the Raised Eyebrow Dreamworks Face right now.]

[We take what comfort we can get, in these troubled times.]

[yourattention]

[Someone drew an uncannily accurate sexy bee and added a speech bubble that says "You like jazz?" because Connor Murphy 100% said that to Zoe like eighty times a day for a while.]

[crosslaced]

But it's from some kind of bee movie? I've only watched it once, I barely remember.

SOME TIME LATER, UNDER ALL THE BEE MOVIE DISCUSSION

[lightlessfuture]

i do not think any of you know what a bee looks like

[ and here is an image of the Knight's rendition of bees. ]

they are much rounder and fluffier and they do not have

weird faces like that

[yourattention]

no thats what bees look like and theyre all in love with ogres

[There's a really, incredibly too mich effort was put into this drawing under this message of Barry and Shrek in a heart.

You all let me do this. You all created this monster.]

[lightlessfuture]

definitely not what bees look like

i do not know what an ogre is but

this 'bee movie' is not accurate at all ??

[yourattention]

its the most accurate scientific text of my world next to human centipede

[i'm so sorry he's like this]

[demonpuppy]

That's racist.

[Are there actual ogres where Chip is from? Do they just really hate one or both of those movies? WHO KNOWS!]

[yourattention]

its only racist if bees are real which everyone knows isnt true bc bees were made up by the black eyed peas to distract us from the fact that the earth is flat

[At this point, he's literally just writing whatever he thinks will make everyone else the most confused or angry. This is his only form of entertainment. Let him have this.]

[crosslaced]

You are right, but the bees in the movie were distinctly un-beelike.

They were quite scary.

[souldeterminant]

[Some time after the rock has been completely defaced by all of the other bee talk, someone else necro's the thread. With purple gel pen.]

I think you hit a cultural barry-er.

[lightlessfuture]

[ Mercifully they know what a pun is, but they're not sure what this one refers to. ]

what does barry have to do with bees ?

[souldeterminant]

Barry is a bee. He likes jazz and pretty flowers. And he wants to smooch a human. I think it's nice.
