*Torosaurus created Literature study group*
Torosaurus: Hi! Since we’ve all been struggling with our assignments this semester I thought it would be great to have a study group so that we could all suffer together.
fr0nk: and i’d like to start with fuck arthur miller
gway69: true
Torosaurus: We got to Death of a Salesman already?
gway69: yes, like, last week?
gway69: u were sick when we started
fr0nk: i envy you dude
Torosaurus: Fuck I need to read it. Anyone got a copy?
fr0nk: mine’s in the library, you can take it
gway69: lmao
Torosaurus: This is serious, Frank!
mikeyfuckingway: Hello hi what am I doing here?
fr0nk: oh hi mikey
gway69: Hi Mikey!
mikeyfuckingway: Gerard we are sitting on the same couch pls your embarrassing me
gway69: you’re*
Torosaurus: Mikey, I’m so sorry, I’m gonna remove you now
mikeyfuckingway: noooooooo
mikeyfuckingway: I want to see you suffer let me stay pls
fr0nk: ray lets keep him he’s cute
Torosaurus: OK fine whatever
mikeyfuckingway: yaaay
mikeyfuckingway: G says bye he's gonna do biology homework now
fr0nk: he has biology this year?
mikeyfuckingway: no but I do
gway69: mikey i hate u sm
Torosaurus: Just finished reading Miller, that was… something.
fr0nk: fuck arthur miller
Torosaurus: It wasn't that bad tbh, but I’m not sure I understand the main idea.
gway69: capitalism bad or smth
gway69: that's what i think anyway, mr Robertson has different opinion
fr0nk: gerard almost told him to go fuck himself, that was cool
gway69: cmon the entire play is about how people are trying to become successful in life but it's never gonna happen and the only thing you can get is becoming a slave of the system and they you fucking die and it all means nothing, your entire life meant nothing, everything you ever did was useless and nobody cares
gway69: if I wasn't already clinically depressed I would be now
gway69: and mr Robertson is like: BuT wHaT aBoUt FaMiLy
gway69: who fucking cares the american dream has failed us all HOW ABOUT THAT MOTHERFUCKER
fr0nk: what he said, i didnt read it
Torosaurus: omg
Torosaurus: You got a good point there Gee.
Torosaurus: I personally thought it was more about building your life around a delusion, like, all these people either live in an imaginary world where they’re successful and everybody loves them (Willy) or caters to this illusion of success bc they think that it’s more important to keep up the front that actually fix their real lives, but what you wrote makes sense tbh
mikeyfuckingway: which one of you fuckers made my brother cry?
fr0nk: mr robertson
fr0nk: wait r u serious?
mikeyfuckingway: yes. he got really upset and doesn't tell me why, im worried
fr0nk: i’m coming over
Torosaurus: Me too
gway69: hi guys, just wanted to say thank you again for staying with me last night
Torosaurus: Don't mention it!
fr0nk: no problemo mi amigo
fr0nk: mi amor*
mikeyfuckingway: gross
fr0nk: And now, for our amazing audience mikeyfuckingway we present the greatest battle in modern history! In the red corner: Mr. Robertson the englit professor, hes a virgin and smells like onions! In the blue corner — astonishing, breathtaking, literally the best person in the world GERAAAAARD WAAAAAYYYY!!!!!
Torosaurus: Frank pls stop
mikeyfuckingway: frank go on
fr0nk: we shall start this match with a national anthem called “fuck arthur miller”
fr0nk: i have no idea what theyre talking about but mr robertson starts with family values (man we got it, your wife left you, get over it), gerard parries with a “family is not the main point of the story”
fr0nk: gerard lays out rays arguments from yesterday omg he is so good
fr0nk: gerard i’m there for you baby go kick his ass
fr0nk: did they read the same book? i don't know!
fr0nk: ok that was quick now mr robertson ignores him. whatever, he lost the battle, gerard for the win!
mikeyfuckingway: disappointed but not surprised
Torosaurus: This just in: Frank got his phone confiscated.
mikeyfuckingway: f
gway69: f
Torosaurus: F
fr0nk: f
mikeyfuckingway: what the frank
fr0nk: that was my texting in class phone, this is my main one
fr0nk: they’ll never take me alive
fr0nk: hey Torosaurus, mikeyfuckingway, i think we need to do something abt mr robertson
fr0nk: like
fr0nk: that guy treats g like shit bc he has a different opinion
gway69: u know i can see this right?
mikeyfuckingway: congratulations u can read
fr0nk: nobody can treat my boyfriend like shit and get away with it
mikeyfuckingway: famous last words
mikeyfuckingway: also ew gross get a room
Torosaurus: No, wait, Frank’s got a point there. Mr Robertson has this “everyone who disagrees with me is automatically wrong” attitude and it's a) really annoying; b) unfair.
gway69: we just need to survive this semester and then school will be over, you don't have to do it
fr0nk: I DECLARE WAR
gway69: frnk pls
fr0nk: THEY CAN RUIN OUR GRADES
fr0nk: BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM
gway69: i give up
mikeyfuckingway: why is my brother blasting r.e.m saddest hits on repeat at 2am what happened
mikeyfuckingway: i swear if i hear man on the moon one more time i wont be responsible for my actions
gway69: cant i just listen to music in peace?
fr0nk: gway69 get off the phone im right here
mikeyfuckingway: ok nevermind
Torosaurus: Remember when Michael Stipe still had hair? So hot
Torosaurus: I’ll see myself out
mikeyfuckingway: yall need jesus
Torosaurus: So. This happened.
gway69: wtf
mikeyfuckingway: what happened?
gway69: Frank baby i love you but this is too much methinks
fr0nk: and this is what i get after everything i did for you
mikeyfuckingway: cmon guys what happened tell me pls
Torosaurus: SomeBODY stole the keys to the classroom and locked it, and then filled the keyhole with glue and gum. So Mr Robertson went to find a free room (he also got a bit hysterical bc he’s LIKE THAT), and when he came back everyone else left & it was only me, G and some other guy, I don’t know him. And also all the other rooms were occupied and he was kinda getting angry bc of it, so he took us to the school yard IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. And that other guy, Pete, started complaining, and Mr Robertson told him to shut up, and Pete was like: my parents are in the school committee, they’re gonna hear about it, and Mr Robertson was like: whatever I don’t care. So this Pete guy left, and Mr Robertson went on a loooong rant about how we're all gonna end up homeless bc we don't pay attention in class, and G and I were like: we're still here, man, come on, we're trying to learn something pls stop with this bullshit. And then Pete came back WITH THE HEADMASTER so now we're waiting in the office for them to stop screaming at each other.
Torosaurus: I think they’re going to fire him.
fr0nk: in my defence i didn’t know he was really gonna do that
mikeyfuckingway: all hail pete wentz ig
gway69: you know this guy???
mikeyfuckingway: we’ve been dating for three months gee pay attention
gway69: to quote the poet: ew gross get a room
fr0nk: lol
gway69: is anyone in this chat straight?
Torosaurus: Me?
fr0nk: you called michael stipe hot ur not straight
Torosaurus: Gerard already told me that.
gway69: tbh i’m surprised toro knows what stipe looked like with hair i had to google it
fr0nk: any news from the western front?
gway69: we’re still here, come over
fr0nk: a true prankster never shows up at the crime scene before it blows over
fr0nk: everything good?
fr0nk: guys?
Torosaurus: HE CALLED GERARD THE R-WORD
mikeyfuckingway: oh hes so dead now
fr0nk: he's going DOWN
Torosaurus: Like he just got out of the headmaster’s office and started screaming at us and Gerard tried to say that we got nothing to do with it, and then Mr Robinson called him the r-word and the headmaster heard him.
Torosaurus: Anyway they're in the office again, and G and I went to get lunch.
fr0nk: gway69 r u ok?
Torosaurus: He says he's fine.
fr0nk: k im coming
gway69: you know i’m kinda sad they fired mr robertson
fr0nk: wdym
gway69: he was an asshole but he didn't deserve to be kicked out like that
fr0nk: 1. he totally did; 2. i didn't want to get him fired, he did it himself; 3. you're too kind to people ilysm
Torosaurus: On the bright side, we don’t have to write an essay on Miller now, I’m not sure I could’ve done it.
fr0nk: obligatory fuck arthur miller
mikeyfuckingway: hell yea he said the line!
Torosaurus: I miss the times when this chat was a study group.
gway69: this has never been a study group
fr0nk: u rlly think we can study thats adorable
Torosaurus: I am so done.
Torosaurus: Anyway, has anybody read Faulkner yet?
fr0nk: im waiting for the movie
Torosaurus: OK, got it.
fr0nk: hi i finally read death of a salesman and it’s a great play, i loved it
Torosaurus: Frank
